Abstract

The MAGIC collaboration has studied the high peaked BL-Lac object 1ES1218+30.4 at a redshift z = 0.182, using the MAGIC imaging air Cherenkov telescope located on the Canary island of La Palma. A gamma-ray signal was observed with 6.4sigma significance. The differential energy spectrum for an energy threshold of 120GeV can be fitted by a simple power law yielding F_E(E) = (8.1+-2.1)*10^-7 (E/250GeV)^(-3.0+-0.4) TeV^-1 m^-2 s^-1. During the six days of observation in January 2005 no time variability on time scales of days was found within the statistical errors. The observed integral flux above 350GeV is nearly a factor two below the the upper limit reported by the Whipple Collaboration in 2003., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, submitted to ApJ

Abstract

The long-duration GRB050713a was observed by the MAGIC Telescope, 40 seconds after the burst onset, and followed up for 37 minutes, until twilight. The observation, triggered by a SWIFT alert, covered energies above ~175 GeV. Using standard MAGIC analysis, no evidence for a gamma signal was found. As the redshift of the GRB was not measured directly, the flux upper limit, estimated by MAGIC, is still compatible with the assumption of an unbroken power-law spectrum extending from a few hundred keV to our energy range., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, submitted to ApJ

9. Event Recognition for Realistic Load Spectra and their Impact on Inspection Intervals in Damage-Tolerant Design

Author

Runge, F., Starke, S., Markgraf, L., Bartelt, M., Horst, P., and Heimbs, S.

Subjects
DGLR, event recognition, DLRK, damage tolerance, aircraft design
Abstract

The damage tolerance behaviour for two fuselage locations is investigated. Parametric studies are performed, revealing the influence of geometry onto the inspection intervals. For a circumferential crack in the upper fuselage, the influence of multiple different flights onto the inspection intervals is investigated. Results may be used both, in preliminary aircraft design as well as structural optimisation.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 88783.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) RATIONALE: Selective digestive tract decontamination (SDD) and selective oropharyngeal decontamination (SOD) eradicate gram-negative bacteria (GNB) from the intestinal and respiratory tract in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but their effect on antibiotic resistance remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: We quantified the effects of SDD and SOD on bacterial ecology in 13 ICUs that participated in a study, in which SDD, SOD, or standard care was used during consecutive periods of 6 months (de Smet AM, Kluytmans JA, Cooper BS, Mascini EM, Benus RF, van der Werf TS, van der Hoeven JG, Pickkers P, Bogaers-Hofman D, van der Meer NJ, et al. N Engl J Med 2009;360:20-31). METHODS: Point prevalence surveys of rectal and respiratory samples were performed once monthly in all ICU patients (receiving or not receiving SOD/SDD). Effects of SDD on rectal, and of SDD/SOD on respiratory tract, carriage of GNB were determined by comparing results from consecutive point prevalence surveys during intervention (6 mo for SDD and 12 mo for SDD/SOD) with consecutive point prevalence data in the pre- and postintervention periods. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: During SDD, average proportions of patients with intestinal colonization with GNB resistant to either ceftazidime, tobramycin, or ciprofloxacin were 5, 7, and 7%, and increased to 15, 13, and 13% postintervention (P < 0.05). During SDD/SOD resistance levels in the respiratory tract were not more than 6% for all three antibiotics but increased gradually (for ceftazidime; P < 0.05 for trend) during intervention and to levels of 10% or more for all three antibiotics postintervention (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: SOD and SDD have marked effects on the bacterial ecology in an ICU, with rising ceftazidime resistance prevalence rates in the respiratory tract during intervention and a considerable rebound effect of ceftazidime resistance in the intestinal tract after discontinuation of SDD.

Abstract

The high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object Markarian~180 (Mrk~180) was observed to have an optical outburst in 2006 March, triggering a Target of Opportunity observation with the MAGIC telescope. The source was observed for 12.4 hr and very high energy $\gamma$-ray emission was detected with a significance of 5.5 $\sigma$. An integral flux above 200 GeV of $(2.3\pm0.7)\times10^{-11} {cm}^{-2} {s}^{-1}$ was measured, corresponding to 11% of the Crab Nebula flux. A rather soft spectrum with a photon index of $-3.3\pm0.7$ has been determined. No significant flux variation was found., Comment: Accepted by ApJ Letters, minor revisions

Abstract

Background The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of prior cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) infection on prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique preprocedural anti-CMV immunoglobulin G and anti-CP immunoglobulin A (CP IgA), immunoglobulin M, and immunoglobulin G antibodies were measured. Repeat anginal complaints and major adverse clinical events (MACE), including PCI, coronary artery bypass grafting, myocardial infarction, and death, were recorded at 8-month follow-up. Results Six hundred consecutive patients were included after successful PCI. Sixty-four percent of the patients were stented. The mean age was 61.6 years, and 68.9% were male. The rate of seropositivity for CP IgA in patients with MACE as compared with patients without MACE was 50.9% versus 35.4% ( P = .0276). In patients with repeat anginal complaints, CP IgA seropositivity was 41.6% versus 34.6% in patients without repeat angina ( P = .1057). The negative effect of CP on prognosis was confirmed after calculating the odds ratios for MACE (1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.3). The rates of seropositivity for anti-CMV immunoglobulin G were not significantly different between both groups, although we found an association between infectious burden and repeat angina pectoris (odds ratio 1.8, 95% CI 1.1–3.0). Conclusions We conclude that preprocedural seropositivity of CP IgA is a risk factor for MACE and angina pectoris after PCI. Although no such relation was found for CMV alone, the cumulative infectious burden was also related to these clinical manifestations of restenosis.

Abstract

Objective: In this study we evaluate the value of baseline concentrations of acute-phase reactants on prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Blood samples were drawn immediately before PCI to measure baseline concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and fibrinogen. Follow-up data were collected at 8 months. Repeat PCI, CABG, myocardial infarction, and death were recorded as major adverse clinical events (MACE). Furthermore the recurrence of angina pectoris was noted. Results: The study included 600 consecutive patients after a successful PCI. Sixty-four percent of the patients were stented. The mean age was 61.6 years and 68.9% were male. CRP levels were significantly higher in patients who were to have repeat angina as compared with those who were not ( P = 0.0322). IL-6 levels were not correlated with angina or MACE. Lp(a) and fibrinogen concentrations were both significantly related to MACE ( P = 0.0337 and P = 0.0253, respectively). Conclusion: Our study clearly supports the role of inflammation in restenosis after PCI as measured in statistically higher levels of Lp(a) and fibrinogen in patients with MACE and CRP in patients with repeat angina.
