Bedeutung der VATS (Video-Assistierte Thorakoskopie) mit Lungenbiopsie in der Diagnostik der idiopathischen interstitiellen Lungenkrankheiten
… chirurgische Biopsiegewinnung, insbesondere die VATS bei diesen Krankheitsbildern mit Komplikationen behaftet war. Trotz verhältnismäßig schlechter präoperativer Lungenfunktion, kam es nur zu geringen, kontrollierbaren Komplikationen. Die Mortalitätsrate lag bei 0 %. In der Literatur wird der …

Cellular innate immune responses to lung resection via video- assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy : predictors of post-operative pneumonia
… by video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy was also evaluated. Methods: Patients undergoing lung resection for suspected bronchogenic carcinoma were recruited. Objective pre-defined criteria were used to diagnose pneumonia. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was conducted in …

A Fundamental Study of Advance Ratio, Solidity, Turbine Radius, and Blade Profile on the Performance Characteristics of Vertical Axis Turbines (VATs)
In this dissertation, various VAT parameters are investigated to determine the effect of the overall efficiency of the turbine at a high Reynolds number. To increase the efficiency of the vertical axis turbines, 2D CFD simulations are completed in an effort to better understand the physics behind …

Some metabolic effects of high oxygen concentrations in relation to retrolental fibroplasia
… ascorbic acid in liver and brain tissue. Newborn vats show a depletion of liver ascorbic acid only after exposure to 100% oxygen. Extending the exposure period in 70% oxygen did not result in any depletion. Brain ascorbic acid levels in newborn rats were depleted by exposure to both 100% and 70% …

Investigation of electrical, optical and mechanical control of ferroelectric domains using scanning probe microscopy
This thesis compiles the applications and nanoscale understanding of electrical, optical and mechanical manipulation of ferroelectric domains in ((K0.5Na0.5)NbO3–2 mol% Ba(Ni0.5Nb0.5)O3−δ) (KNBNNO). KNBNNO is a novel bandgap (1.6 eV) engineered ferroelectric with an excellent piezo-response (100 …

Microanalytical Constraints on the Geometry and Chemical Evolution of Kīlauea’s Volcanic Plumbing System
… systems, moving away from a model where large vats of melt are stored in the crust, to a model dominated by extensive piles of settled crystals. This thesis examines the petrological evidence for this ‘mush-dominated’ model at Kīlauea Volcano, using a variety of state-of-the-art microanalytical …

Dyes and Dyeing Methods in Late Iron Age Finland
… the blackish-blue and purple textiles dyed in vats in the Late Iron Age manner. The medieval culture provided a faster textile making process and offered horizontal looms and spinning wheels, the boiling method, alum and new dyestuffs.

Essays in Public Finance and Environmental Policy
… to the standard theory that intermediate VATs have no impact on production decisions, we find that electricity demand is responsive to VAT rates. Our results are not driven by changes in tax evasion in response to changing VAT rates. Rather, we provide evidence that frictions in the VAT …

Cheddar Cheese Manufactured from Condensed Milk
… be manufactured without increasing the number of vats or labor. In addition, concentration has been shown to increase yield (5, 9, ·22, 32, 37, 39, 52). The five methods of concentrating milk are ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), vacuum concentration, reconstitution, and supplementation. …

A Comparison of Cottage Cheese Yields Using Culture and Direct Acidification
… 70 to 1. 75 for at least two reasons: 1) Larger vats and mechanical agitation had become wide spread, resulting in greater yield losses as curd fines; 2) The composition of the milk supply had changed, resulting in milk lower in solids (2). Of particular interest to cottage cheese manufacture was …

Monitoring lactococcal phages during milk fermentation
… Ten whey samples from problematic production vats were collected, from which 40 phages were isolated and purified. Restriction analysis revealed a high degree of genetic diversity amongst the 40 phages, all of which were of the 936 phage species. By determining the host range relationship, two …
