Data analyzing clinical or biomechanical effects of those interventions is sparse. Foot orthoses out of carbon fiber are one possibility to alter the interface between foot and pedal. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze plantar pressure distribution in carbon fiber foot orthoses in comparison to standard insoles of commercially available cycling shoes. Materials and Methods: 11 pain-free triathletes (Age: 29 +/- 9, 1.77 +/- 0.04 m, 68 5 kg) were tested on a cycle ergometer at 60 and 90 rotations per minute (rpm) at workloads of 200 and 300 Watts. Subjects wore in randomized order a cycling shoe with its standard insole (control condition CO) or the shoe with carbon fiber foot orthoses (Condition CA). Mean peak pressure out of 30 movement cycles were extracted for the total foot and specific foot regions (rear, mid, fore foot (medial, central, lateral) and toe region). Three-factor ANOVAs (factor foot orthoses, rpm, workload) for repeated measures (alpha = 0.05) were used to analyze the main question of a foot orthoses effect on peak in-shoe plantar pressure. Results: Peak pressures in the total foot were in a range of 70-75 kPa for 200 Watts (W) (300 W: 85-110 kPa). The carbon fiber foot orthoses reduced peak pressures by -4,1\% compared to the standard insole (p = 0,10). In the foot regions rear(-16,6\%, p<0.001), mid (-20,0\%, p<0.001) and fore foot (-5.9\%, p < 0.03)CA reduced peak pressure compared to CO. In the toe region, peak pressure was higher in CA (+16,2\%) compared to CO (p<0,001). The lateral fore foot showed higher peak pressures in CA (+34\%) and CO (+59\%) compared to medial and central fore foot. Conclusion: Carbon fiber can serve as a suitable material for foot orthoses manufacturing in cycling. Plantar pressures do not increase due to the stiffness of the carbon. Individual customization may have the potential to reduce peak pressure in certain foot areas.}, language = {de} } @unpublished{WeskeYangMaglio2012, author = {Weske, Mathias and Yang, Jian and Maglio, Paul P.}, title = {Special issue service oriented computing (ICSOC) guest editors' introduction}, series = {International journal of cooperative information systems}, volume = {21}, journal = {International journal of cooperative information systems}, number = {1}, publisher = {World Scientific}, address = {Singapore}, issn = {0218-8430}, doi = {10.1142/S0218843012020017}, pages = {1 -- 2}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Sprinz2012, author = {Sprinz, Detlef F.}, title = {Long-Term environmental policy challenges for research}, series = {The journal of environment \& development : a review of international policy}, volume = {21}, journal = {The journal of environment \& development : a review of international policy}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {1070-4965}, doi = {10.1177/1070496511435667}, pages = {67 -- 70}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Long-term policy issues are a particularly vexing class of environmental policy issues which merit increasing attention due to the long-time horizons involved, the incongruity with political cycles, and the challenges for collective action.

This extends the standard statistical setting for multiple hypotheses testing, which is restricted to a finite set. This work is motivated by numerous modern applications where the observed signal is modeled by a stochastic process over a continuum. As a measure of type I error, we extend the concept of false discovery rate (FDR) to this setting. The FDR is defined as the average ratio of the measure of two random sets, so that its study presents some challenge and is of some intrinsic mathematical interest. Our main result shows how to use the p-value process to control the FDR at a nominal level, either under arbitrary dependence of p-values, or under the assumption that the finite dimensional distributions of the p-value process have positive correlations of a specific type (weak PRDS). Both cases generalize existing results established in the finite setting, the latter one leading to a less conservative procedure. The interest of this approach is demonstrated in several non-parametric examples: testing the mean/signal in a Gaussian white noise model, testing the intensity of a Poisson process and testing the c.d.f. of i.i.d. random variables.

Moreover, they dispense a large fraction of new nitrogen to the ecosystem when inorganic nitrogen concentration in summer is low. Thus, it is of ecological importance to know how Nodularia will react to future environmental changes, in particular to increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and what consequences there might arise for cycling of organic matter in the Baltic Sea. Here, we determined carbon (C) and dinitrogen (N-2) fixation rates, growth, elemental stoichiometry of particulate organic matter and nitrogen turnover in batch cultures of the heterocystous cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena under low (median 315 mu atm), mid (median 353 mu atm), and high (median 548 mu atm) CO2 concentrations. Our results demonstrate an overall stimulating effect of rising pCO(2) on C and N-2 fixation, as well as on cell growth. An increase in pCO(2) during incubation days 0 to 9 resulted in an elevation in growth rate by 84 +/- 38\% (low vs. high pCO(2)) and 40 +/- 25\% (mid vs. high pCO(2)), as well as in N-2 fixation by 93 +/- 35\% and 38 +/- 1\%, respectively. C uptake rates showed high standard deviations within treatments and in between sampling days. Nevertheless, C fixation in the high pCO(2) treatment was elevated compared to the other two treatments by 97\% (high vs. low) and 44\% (high vs. mid) at day 0 and day 3, but this effect diminished afterwards. Additionally, elevation in carbon to nitrogen and nitrogen to phosphorus ratios of the particulate biomass formed (POC : POP and PON : POP) was observed at high pCO(2). Our findings suggest that rising pCO(2) stimulates the growth of heterocystous diazotrophic cyanobacteria, in a similar way as reported for the non-heterocystous diazotroph Trichodesmium. Implications for biogeochemical cycling and food web dynamics, as well as ecological and socio-economical aspects in the Baltic Sea are discussed.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Lenhard2012, author = {Lenhard, Michael}, title = {Plant Growth: Jogging the Cell Cycle with JAG}, series = {Current biology}, volume = {22}, journal = {Current biology}, number = {19}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0960-9822}, doi = {10.1016/j.cub.2012.07.033}, pages = {R838 -- R840}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Lenhard2012, author = {Lenhard, Michael}, title = {All's well that ends well arresting cell proliferation in leaves}, series = {Developmental cell}, volume = {22}, journal = {Developmental cell}, number = {1}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1534-5807}, doi = {10.1016/j.devcel.2011.12.004}, pages = {9 -- 11}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The transition from cell proliferation to cell expansion is critical for determining leaf size.
