Rationelle Stromanwendung in den Haushalten

Das Projekt "Klimaverträgliche Energieversorgung in Baden-Württemberg" soll in zwei Phasen durchgeführt werden. Ziel der ersten Phase des Projektes ist es, - vorwiegend technologisch orientierte - Gutachten zu erstellen, die die Basis für die in der zweiten Phase zu erarbeitenden Szenarien bilden sollen. Das Projekt gliedert sich in insgesamt 16 Einzelgutachten, in denen Energieträger, Energieumwandlung und Endnutzung der Energie näher untersucht werden. Im Einzelgutachten "Rationelle Stromanwendung im Haushalt" werden Technikanalysen für Haushaltsgeräte erstellt, die nicht der Raumwärme- oder Brauchwasserbereitstellung dienen. Die Analysen werden für sechs unterschiedliche Energiedienstleistungen (EDL) durchgeführt: Kühlen und Gefrieren (EDL "Kühlen und Gefrieren", vgl. Kapitel 4), Kochen (EDL "Warme Mahlzeit", vgl. Kap. 5), Waschen und Trocknen (EDL "Gewaschene Wäsche", "Getrocknete Wäsche", vgl. Kap. 6), Spülen (EDL "Gespültes Geschirr", vgl. Kap 7), Beleuchtung (EDL "Beleuchtete Wohnung", vgl. Kap 8), Betrieb von Kleingeräten (vgl. Kap. 9)

Application of functional genomics to primate endometrium: insights into biological processes

Endometrium is a dynamic tissue that responds on a cyclic basis to circulating levels of the ovarian-derived steroid hormones, estradiol and progesterone. Functional genomics has enabled a global approach to understanding gene regulation in whole endometrial tissue in the setting of a changing hormonal milieu. The proliferative phase of the cycle, under the influence of estradiol, has a preponderance of genes involved in DNA synthesis and cell cycle regulation. Interestingly, genes encoding ion channels and cell adhesion, as well as angiogenic factors, are also highly regulated in this phase of the cycle. After the LH surge, different gene expression profiles are uniquely observed in the early secretory, mid-secretory (window of implantation), and late secretory phases. The early secretory phase is notable for up-regulation of multiple genes and gene families involved in cellular metabolism, steroid hormone metabolism, as well as some secreted glycoproteins. The mid-secretory phase is characterized by multiple biological processes, including up-regulation of genes encoding secreted glycoproteins, immune response genes with a focus on innate immunity, and genes involved in detoxification mechanisms. In the late secretory phase, as the tissue prepares for desquamation, there is a marked up-regulation of an inflammatory response, along with matrix degrading enzymes, and genes involved in hemostasis, among others. This monograph reviews hormonal regulation of gene expression in this tissue and the molecular events occurring therein throughout the cycle derived from functional genomics analysis. It also highlights challenges encountered in using human endometrial tissue in translational research in this context

Femtosecond Laser Post-Processing Of Metal Parts Produced By Laser Additive Manufacturing

High-repetition rate femtosecond laser radiation was utilized to improve surface quality of metal parts manufactured by laser additive techniques.
