Adult Beagle dogs (n 8) were administered a single oral dosage of a TCT-rich fraction (TRF; 40 mg/kg body weight) containing 32 \% a-TCT, 2 \% b-TCT, 27 \% g-TCT, 14 \% d-TCT and 25 \% a-tocopherol (a-TCP). Blood was sampled at baseline (fasted), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 h after supplementation. Plasma and chylomicron concentrations of TCT and a-TCP were measured at each time point. Plasma TAG were measured enzymatically, and plasma antioxidant capacity was assessed by the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay. In fasted dogs, levels of TCT were 0·07 ( SD 0·03) mmol/l. Following the administration of the TRF, total plasma TCT peaked at 2 h (7·16 ( SD 3·88) mmol/l; P, 0·01) and remained above baseline levels (0·67 ( SD 0·44) mmol/l; P, 0·01) at 12 h. The TCT response in chylomicrons paralleled the increase in TCT in plasma with a maximum peak (3·49 ( SD 2·06) mmol/l; P, 0·01) at 2 h post-dosage. a-TCP was the major vitamin E detected in plasma and unaffected by TRF supplementation. The Trolox equivalent values increased from 2 h (776 ( SD 51·2) mmol/l) to a maximum at 12 h (1130 ( SD 7·72) mmol/l; P,0·01). The results show that TCT are detected in postprandial plasma of dogs. The increase in antioxidant capacity suggests a potential beneficial role of TCT supplementation in the prevention or treatment of several diseases in dogs.}, language = {en} } @misc{ShawGafosHooleetal.2011, author = {Shaw, Jason A. and Gafos, Adamantios I. and Hoole, Philip and Zeroual, Chakir}, title = {Dynamic invariance in the phonetic expression of syllable structure}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {516}, issn = {1866-8364}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41247}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-412479}, pages = {455 -- 490}, year = {2011}, abstract = {We asked whether invariant phonetic indices for syllable structure can be identified in a language where word-initial consonant clusters, regardless of their sonority profile, are claimed to be parsed heterosyllabically. Four speakers of Moroccan Arabic were recorded, using Electromagnetic Articulography. Pursuing previous work, we employed temporal diagnostics for syllable structure, consisting of static correspondences between any given phonological organisation and its presumed phonetic indices. We show that such correspondences offer only a partial understanding of the relation between syllabic organisation and continuous indices of that organisation. We analyse the failure of the diagnostics and put forth a new approach in which different phonological organisations prescribe different ways in which phonetic indices change as phonetic parameters are scaled. The main finding is that invariance is found in these patterns of change, rather than in static correspondences between phonological constructs and fixed values for their phonetic indices.}, language = {en} } @misc{HenzeAumerGrabneretal.2011, author = {Henze, Andrea and Aumer, Franziska and Grabner, Arthur and Raila, Jens and Schweigert, Florian J.}, title = {Genetic differences in the serum proteome of horses, donkeys and mules are detectable by protein profiling}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {567}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41288}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-412886}, pages = {4}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Although horses and donkeys belong to the same genus, their genetic characteristics probably result in specific proteomes and post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins. Since PTM can alter protein properties, specific PTM may contribute to species-specific characteristics. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyse differences in serum protein profiles of horses and donkeys as well as mules, which combine the genetic backgrounds of both species. Additionally, changes in PTM of the protein transthyretin (TTR) were analysed. Serum protein profiles of each species (five animals per species) were determined using strong anion exchanger ProteinChips (R) (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) in combination with surface-enhanced laser desorption ionisation-time of flight MS. The PTM of TTR were analysed subsequently by immunoprecipitation in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight MS. Protein profiling revealed species-specific differences in the proteome, with some protein peaks present in all three species as well as protein peaks that were unique for donkeys and mules, horses and mules or for horses alone. The molecular weight of TTR of horses and donkeys differed by 30Da, and both species revealed several modified forms of TTR besides the native form. The mass spectra of mules represented a merging of TTR spectra of horses and donkeys. In summary, the present study indicated that there are substantial differences in the proteome of horses and donkeys. Additionally, the results probably indicate that the proteome of mules reveal a higher similarity to donkeys than to horses.}, language = {en} } @misc{GebserLeeLierler2011, author = {Gebser, Martin and Lee, Joohyung and Lierler, Yuliya}, title = {On elementary loops of logic programs}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {566}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41309}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-413091}, pages = {36}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Using the notion of an elementary loop, Gebser and Schaub (2005. Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning (LPNMR'05 ), 53-65) refined the theorem on loop formulas attributable to Lin and Zhao (2004) by considering loop formulas of elementary loops only. In this paper, we reformulate the definition of an elementary loop, extend it to disjunctive programs, and study several properties of elementary loops, including how maximal elementary loops are related to minimal unfounded sets. The results provide useful insights into the stable model semantics in terms of elementary loops. For a nondisjunctive program, using a graph-theoretic characterization of an elementary loop, we show that the problem of recognizing an elementary loop is tractable. On the other hand, we also show that the corresponding problem is coNP-complete for a disjunctive program. Based on the notion of an elementary loop, we present the class of Head-Elementary-loop-Free (HEF) programs, which strictly generalizes the class of Head-Cycle-Free (HCF) programs attributable to Ben-Eliyahu and Dechter (1994. Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence 12, 53-87).

We suggest that a "born-again hot bubble" may be responsible for this X-ray emission. Diffuse X-ray emission associated with the petal-like features and one of the H-poor knots seen in the optical is also found. The weakened emission of carbon lines in the spectrum of the diffuse emission can be interpreted as the dilution of stellar wind by mass-loading or as the detection of material ejected during a very late thermal pulse.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Prengel2011, author = {Prengel, Annedore}, title = {Zwischen Heterogenit{\"a}t und Hierarchie in der Bildung - Studien zur Unvollendbarkeit der Demokratie}, series = {Bildung in der Demokratie II : Tendenzen - Diskurse - Praktiken}, booktitle = {Bildung in der Demokratie II : Tendenzen - Diskurse - Praktiken}, publisher = {Budrich}, address = {Opladen}, isbn = {978-3-86649-373-5}, pages = {83 -- 94}, year = {2011}, language = {de} } @misc{GebserSchaubThieleetal.2011, author = {Gebser, Martin and Schaub, Torsten and Thiele, Sven and Veber, Philippe}, title = {Detecting inconsistencies in large biological networks with answer set programming}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {561}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41246}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-412467}, pages = {38}, year = {2011}, abstract = {We introduce an approach to detecting inconsistencies in large biological networks by using answer set programming.

Our aim is to provide a declarative solution to the problem by appeal to Answer Set Programming (ASP) overcoming these difficulties. We build upon an existing approach to Automatic Network Reconstruction proposed by part of the authors. This approach has firm mathematical foundations and is well suited for ASP due to its combinatorial flavor providing a characterization of all models explaining a set of experiments. The usage of ASP has several benefits over the existing heuristic algorithms. First, it is declarative and thus transparent for biological experts. Second, it is elaboration tolerant and thus allows for an easy exploration and incorporation of biological constraints. Third, it allows for exploring the entire space of possible models.

However, their implementation becomes difficult whenever they bring about a significant increase in computational complexity. As a consequence, existing ASP systems do not offer complex optimization capacities, supporting, for instance, inclusion-based minimization or Pareto efficiency. Rather, such complex criteria are typically addressed by resorting to dedicated modeling techniques, like saturation. Unlike the ease of common ASP modeling, however, these techniques are rather involved and hardly usable by ASP laymen. We address this problem by developing a general implementation technique by means of meta-prpogramming, thus reusing existing ASP systems to capture various forms of qualitative preferences among answer sets. In this way, complex preferences and optimization capacities become readily available for ASP applications.}, language = {en} } @misc{GeissSiegrist2011, author = {Geiß, Robin and Siegrist, Michael}, title = {Has the armed conflict in Afghanistan affected the rules on the conduct of hostilities?}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Rechtswissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Rechtswissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {4}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41289}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-412896}, pages = {36}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The armed conflict in Afghanistan since 2001 has raised manifold questions pertaining to the humanitarian rules relative to the conduct of hostilities.
