A Genealogical and Biographical History of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
The sketches in this book, numbering approximately 2,250 and naming a total of 50,000 related persons, generally treat subjects who were born in the early nineteenth century, with reference to immediate forebears of the late eighteenth century. The sketches typically mention the date and place of birth and marriage of the principal subject, the place of birth of his parents and often grandparents, sometimes the name of the first ancestor in America, and details of religion, education, military service, occupation, home, and residence.
What's Wrong With Microphysicalism?
A fresh challenge to 'microphysicalism', the influential contemporary view in philosophy and science that whole objects behave the way they do in virtue of the behaviour of their constituent parts.
Regulation and Supervision of Bank Senior Management in Light of Prudential Corporate Governance
Ongoing conduct issues in the banking sector have sparked global discussions on the effectiveness of the corporate governance of these institutions. This dissertation commences by exploring the internationally evolving regulatory landscape of prudential corporate governance and the role of bank senior management within these frameworks using a law and economics perspective. Two model jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, are identified as pioneers with their emerging approaches to tackle the persisting challenges. Against this backdrop, the study turns to Switzerland. It fills the gap of a comprehensive supervisory law analysis of bank senior management. For this purpose, th...
Envisioning Social Justice in Contemporary German Culture
Explores how contemporary German-language literary, dramatic, filmic, musical, and street artists are grappling in their works with social-justice issues that affect Germany and the wider world.
Proceedings of the 21st Annual Meeting of the European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT), Dublin, Ireland, June 7-10, 2009
The 21st ESACT conference was held in the beautiful surroundings of the CityWest Hotel resort in Dublin, Ireland. For the first time in ESACT history the number of participants exceeded 900: a sign of the ever increasing importance of this area. The conference commenced on Sunday June 5th with two sets of parallel workshops on the subjects listed below. An additional workshop was held on Monday lunchtime of the conferenceProcess Analytical Technology (PAT), Quality by Design (QbD) and other recent regulatory developments. 2. Innovative media products for the 21st century biopharmaceutical industry. 3. The impact of high titre media feed-streams on monoclonal antibody purification. 4. Advances in genomics and proteomics. 5. Stem Cell Technology: new developments and clinical applications.
Automatic Localization of Spatially Correlated Key Points in Medical Images
The task of object localization in medical images is a corner stone of automatic image processing and a prerequisite for other medical imaging tasks. In this thesis, we present a general framework for the automatic detection and localization of spatially correlated key points in medical images based on a conditional random field (CRF). The problem of selecting suitable potential functions (knowledge sources) and defining a reasonable graph topology w.r.t. the dataset is automated by our proposed data-driven CRF optimization. We show how our fairly simple setup can be applied to different medical datasets involving different image dimensionalities (i.e., 2D and 3D), image modalities (i.e., X-...
Lowering of the boiling curve of biodiesel by metathesis
The boiling line of diesel fuels is relevant for the combustion in modern engines. Biodiesel shows a boiling behavior that is very different to diesel fuel. To adapt the boiling line, metathesis reactions were carried out. Different products were obtained by varying the catalysts and the ratio of biodiesel to 1-hexene. As 20%-blends in diesel fuel some metathesis products were quite similar to the diesel fuel boiling line. The metathesis fuels were tested regarding interactions with other fuel components and engine oil. Additionally, the material compatibility was in focus. Corrosion effects on copper were within the specification for diesel fuel. Exhaust gas emissions from 20%-blends as well as mutagenicity showed no significant deviations versus diesel fuel. In the result, no significant disadvantages for metathesis fuels were found. However, there production occurs currently only in lab-scale.
