Proof-of-Concept Application - Annual Report Year 1
In this document the Cat-COVITE Application for use in the CATNETS Project is introduced and motivated. Furthermore an introduction to the catallactic middleware and Web Services Agreement (WS-Agreement) concepts is given as a basis for the future work. Requirements for the application of Cat-COVITE with in catallactic systems are analysed. Finally the integration of the Cat-COVITE application and the catallactic middleware is described. --Grid Computing
Proof-of-Concept Application - Annual Report Year 2
This document first gives an introduction to Application Layer Networks and subsequently presents the catallactic resource allocation model and its integration into the middleware architecture of the developed prototype. Furthermore use cases for employed service models in such scenarios are presented as general application scenarios as well as two very detailed cases: Query services and Data Mining services. This work concludes by describing the middleware implementation and evaluation as well as future work in this area. --Grid Computing
Vibrations loads in the process of designing scientific spacecraft payloads
Scientific missions constitute fundamental cornerstones of space agencies such as ESA and NASA. Modern astronomy could not be understood without the data provided by these missions. Scientists need to design very carefully onboard instruments. Payloads have to survive the crucial launch moment and later perform well in the really harsh space environ-ment. It is very important that the instrument conceptual idea can be engineered to sustain all those load
Performance Evaluation - Annual Report Year 2
In this paper a performance measuring infrastructure,developed for the prototype and simulator, concering the experiment configuration, data measurement, and data collection, is presented. A corresponding performance evaluation framework is defined to obtain the metrics from the measured data. Initial experiments were carried out to test the developed prototype, simulator and the performance measuring infrastructure. --Grid Computing
[BOCIO FETAL OVINO: ESTUDIO DE CASO EN MĂXICO]
En un rebaño ovino de pequeña escala, localizado en el Estado de MĂ©xico, con ocho ovejas y un semental, de las cuales cuatro ovejas presentaron signos clĂnicos de bocio endĂ©mico, dos fetos abortados fueron usados para un estudio de diagnĂłstico. De ambos fetos, muestras de la glĂĄndula tiroides fueron usadas para la evaluaciĂłn histopatolĂłgica, y muestras de hĂgado, corazĂłn, riñón y mĂșsculo esquelĂ©tico fueron usadas para medir el contenido de selenio. En el suero sanguĂneo de las ovejas se midiĂł el perfil de las hormonas tiroideas por la prueba de ELISA. En ambos fetos hubo un aumento de tamaño de la glĂĄndula tiroides (6-8 cm), con consistencia firme y color rojo intenso, asĂ como escases de vellĂłn y edema subcutĂĄneo; tambiĂ©n hubo hiperplasia e hipertrofia de las cĂ©lulas foliculares de la tiroides, con aspecto cuboide, expansiĂłn difusa, contorno irregular y distensiĂłn con presencia de vacuolas y abundante coloide eosinofĂlico. Las concentraciones de selenio en el hĂgado y riñón fueron bajas (0.25 y 0.90 ppm). En las ovejas los contenidos de las hormonas tiroxina (T4) y triyodotironina (T3) fueron deficientes (0.48±0.08 y 4.14±0.29 ÎŒg dL-1), y la relaciĂłn (T4:T3) fue muy amplia (1:8.6 ÎŒg dL-1). Se concluye que los corderos sufrieron de bocio coloide. Las concentraciones de hormonas tiroideas en las ovejas fueron bajas y confirmaron un metabolismo tiroideo alterado; adicionalmente, el bocio puede ser agravado por la deficiencia de selenio
Measurement of the cosmic ray spectrum above eV using inclined events detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory
A measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum for energies exceeding
eV is presented, which is based on the analysis of showers
with zenith angles greater than detected with the Pierre Auger
Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. The measured spectrum
confirms a flux suppression at the highest energies. Above
eV, the "ankle", the flux can be described by a power law with
index followed by
a smooth suppression region. For the energy () at which the
spectral flux has fallen to one-half of its extrapolated value in the absence
of suppression, we find
eV.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO
