Für viele Pakistaner auf der ganzen Welt war es ein Schock. Nach eigenen Angaben verhinderte die britische Polizei am 9.8. einen neuen Massenmord. Selbstmordattentäter hatten geplant, mehrere Flugzeuge auf dem Weg von London in die USA in die Luft zu sprengen. Im Zuge der Ermittlungen nahm die Londoner Polizei bereits 24 Terrorverdächtige fest, 19 von ihnen sind pakistanischer Herkunft. Auch im Juli 2005 waren Terroristen pakistanischer Abstammung an den verheerenden Anschlägen mit 52 Toten in der britischen Hauptstadt beteiligt. Nicht nur die Pakistaner in London sehen sich nun unter Generalverdacht und befürchten, dass ihr Heimatland Pakistan und ihre Landsleute nur noch in einem negativen Licht erscheinen. Diese Angst teilen auch viele Pakistaner in Deutschland. Adnan Siddiqui hat sich in der Quba-Moschee in Köln-Kalk umgehört und sich mit einigen Pakistanern unterhalten., Südasien, Bd. 26 Nr. 2/3 (2006): Wirtschaften Schreiben

The present paper will try to analyze some crucial features that can highlight the differences between English for legal purposes (ELP) and General English (GE). It focuses on use of (ELP) as a medium of instruction within practical field of Law. The study will deal with a fact that lawyers are the most eloquent users of English language. Where, on the other hand, they are its notorious abusers. It is because they employ arcane vocabulary within their discourses. The most controversial features that underlie within this field were to be analyzed from different perspectives: (1) its practicability to legal language’s nature (2) semantic interpretations of legal interpretations and (3) perceptual differences over statues of applied and real cases. A language policy program was conducted for this purpose in SM (Sind Muslim) Law College, (Hyderabad) Sind, Pakistan. Its goal was to analyze the particular needs of the legal learners towards their use of English language. After having the discussions with stakeholders, learners, experienced interlocutors and advocates themselves, the researcher, then analyzed some of the case methods (legal books). It was considered a necessary concern to have particular model that should design a conclusive course of integrating the language learning with legal content. This study falls with three major categories in the end for future scholars. (1) Study of Specific English language within legal field. (2) Study of spoken English language within legal settings and (3) Study of written English language of law. However, the main attempt is to explore the third category, focusing on controversial features within written form of legal English language. This study will also help future ESP course designers to visualize the underlying facts that are important in present era. It will not only improve the learning purposes but to strategies for teaching methods. Therefore, it is important to analyze the controversial facts of ELP course.

Summary The laying and commissioning of new transmission line is very difficult due to socio-economic problems, like environmental clearances, right of way, etc. Therefore, there is an emphasis on better utilization of available transmission infrastructure. FACTS devices can provide reactive power compensation, transmission capability enhancement, and voltage and stability improvement. FACTS devices operate under the command of system operator who analyses its demand by the data acquired through traditional SCADA system, state estimation algorithms and PMUs. SCADA together with PMU give accurate information about the operational state of power system. This paper proposes a scheme to automate the FACTS devices in collaboration with PMUs in a more efficient way. Highly precised data from PMUs can be fed to intelligent controllers for effective analyzing and automating the FACTS device through control command. Thus, this combination can provide real time control of reactive power, together with enhancement of power handling capability and stability improvement.

Summary The customer's review plays an important role in deciding the purchasing behaviour for online shopping as a customer prefers to get the opinion of other customers by observing their opinion through online products’ reviews, blogs and social networking sites, etc. The customer's reviews reflect the customer's sentiments and have a substantial significance for the products being sold online including electronic gadgets, movies, house hold appliances and books. Hence, extracting the exact features of the products by analyzing the text of reviews requires a lot of efforts and human intelligence. In this paper we intend to analyze the online reviews available for books and extract book-features from the reviews using human intelligence. We have proposed a technique to categorize the features of books from the reviews of the customers. The extracted features may help in deciding the books to be recommended for readers. The ultimate goal of the work is to fulfil the requirement of the user and provide them their desired books. Thus, we have evaluated our categorization method by users themselves, and surveyed qualified persons for the concerned books. The survey results show high precision of the features categorized which clearly indicates that proposed method is very useful and appealing. The proposed technique may help in recommending the best books for concerned people and may also be generalized to recommend any product to the users.

It is accepted worldwide that biospecimen and data sharing (BDS) play an essential role for the future of medical research to improve diagnostics and prognostics, e.g. by validated biomarkers. BDS is also pivotal to the development of new therapeutic treatments and for the improvement of population health. Human biobanks can generate an added value to this need by providing biospecimens and/or associated data to researchers. An inspection of several examples of epidemiological as well as clinical/disease-oriented biobanks in Germany shows that best practice procedures (BPP) that are internationally agreed on are being installed for biospecimen and/or data access. In general, fair access is aimed at requiring a written application by the requesting scientist, which is then peer-reviewed for scientific and ethical validity by the Biobank. Applied BPP take into account (i) patient education/agreement according to the informed consent model, (ii) privacy protection, (iii) intellectual property rights, the (iv) notification obligation of health-related findings (including incidental findings), the (v) use of material (MTA) and data transfer agreements (DTA) for mutual legal security, the avoidance of conflicts of interests, as well as for cost recovery/fee for service as a basis for sustainability of the biobank. BPP are rooted in the self-regulation efforts of life sciences and are supported by parent ethics committees in Germany. Central biobank registries displaying aggregated information on biospecimens stored and the research foci constitute an important tool to make biobanks that are scattered across the country visible to each other, and, can thus promote access to hitherto unknown biospecimen and data resources.

Until recently, metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implants were commonly used for joint replacement and resurfacings. Their use has rapidly declined following reports of Frühversagen and soft tissue disease caused by the release of metal debris from the prosthesis. Detection of these soft tissue lesions has proven difficult using conventional imaging techniques and blood metal ion tests. Current guidelines recommend the use of imaging modalities including metal artefact reduction sequence (MARS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography and ultrasound but provide little indication which is best. MARS significantly reduces the susceptibility artefact induced by the presence of metal objects, thereby producing diagnostic quality images that can be shared with other physicians and compared over time. The clinical interpretation of MRI findings of solid pseudotumours and severe muscle atrophy is straightforward: revision is usually recommended. However, the most common MRI findings are of a cystic pseudotumour and minor muscle wasting. In these cases decision-making is difficult and we currently use multi-disciplinary and multi-colleague based meetings to make decisions regarding patient management. This article presents a comparison of imaging modalities and an update on the interpretation of MARS MRI for the investigation of patients with MoM hip implants.The English full-text version of this article is available at Springer Link (under "Supplemental").

Diese Studie befasst sich mit dem Einfluss multifunktioneller Glykoproteine und CSPGs, speziell von Tnc und seinen alternativ gespleißten FNIII Domänen, auf das Wachstumsverhalten retinaler Axone. Durch den Einsatz unterschiedlicher Tnc Konstrukte mit variablen FNIII Domänen, konnte gezeigt werden, dass das TNfnBD-fc Fusionskonstrukt das Wachstum und die Faszikulation der Fasern stimuliert. Dieser Effekt konnte ebenfalls bei Müller Glia beobachtet und auf die Tnc FNIII-Domäne D begrenzt werden. Ein möglicher Rezeptor Kandidat repräsentiert das F3/Contactin Glykoprotein. Die Kombination mit dem Glykoprotein Laminin führte zu einer weiteren Erhöhung des Faszikulationsgrades auf Kosten des Axonwachstums. Ergänzende Experimente mit Neuritenwachstum-stimulierenden Zellen verdeutlichten den Einfluss von CSPG, welche eine repulsive Wirkung auf das Verhalten der Fasern besitzen. Die Behandlung mit dem Rho-Kinase Inhibitor Y27632 gab Hinweise auf potenziell blockierte Signalkaskaden.

A procedure based on extraction, column chromatography and precipitation is described for the separation of ethylene oxide-1,2-14C fumigated coca-powder derivatives in 9 different groups. As it was found in wheat [1], the major portion of radioactivity lies in water extract; in coca-powder the major portion of radioactivity is also found in low molecular components.

In Coca-powder fumigated with Ethylene Oxide-1,2(14)C, several derivatives were isolated by extraction and preparative Thin Layer Chromatography. Of the two compounds isolated from the water-extract, the structures have been suggested as N,N-Bis-(Di-Ethoxy-O-Hydroxy-ethyl)-Isoleucyl-Alanyl-Cysteine (MW = 569)and N-Ethoxy-O-Hydroxyethyl)-Tyrosine (MW = 269), based on I.R. and Mass Spectrometry. Their approximate concentrations were found to be 20 and 50 mg/kg respectively.
