Lack of disease monitoring may result in increased mortality and more frequent hospital readmissions for decompensated HF. Remote patient management (RPM) in this patient population may help to detect early signs and symptoms of cardiac decompensation, thus enabling a prompt initiation of the appropriate treatment and care before a manifestation of HF decompensation. Objective The objective of the present article is to describe the design of a new trial investigating the impact of RPM on unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations and mortality in HF patients. Methods The TIM-HF2 trial is designed as a prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel group, open (with randomisation concealment), multicentre trial with pragmatic elements introduced for data collection. Eligible patients with HF are randomised (1:1) to either RPM + usual care or to usual care only and are followed for 12 months. The primary outcome is the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations or all-cause death. The main secondary outcomes are all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Conclusion The TIM-HF2 trial will provide important prospective data on the potential beneficial effect of telemedical monitoring and RPM on unplanned cardiovascular hospitalisations and mortality in HF patients.}, language = {en} } @article{KoehlerOhrnbergerScherbaum2009, author = {Koehler, Andreas and Ohrnberger, Matthias and Scherbaum, Frank}, title = {Unsupervised feature selection and general pattern discovery using Self-Organizing Maps for gaining insights into the nature of seismic wavefields}, issn = {0098-3004}, doi = {10.1016/j.cageo.2009.02.004}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This study presents an unsupervised feature selection and learning approach for the discovery and intuitive imaging of significant temporal patterns in seismic single-station or network recordings. For this purpose, the data are parametrized by real-valued feature vectors for short time windows using standard analysis tools for seismic data, such as frequency-wavenumber, polarization, and spectral analysis. We use Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for a data-driven feature selection, visualization and clustering procedure, which is in particular suitable for high-dimensional data sets. Our feature selection method is based on significance testing using the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test for-individual features and on correlation hunting with SOMs in feature subsets. Using synthetics composed of Rayleigh and Love waves and real-world data, we show the robustness and the improved discriminative power of that approach compared to feature subsets manually selected from individual wavefield parametrization methods. Furthermore, the capability of the clustering and visualization techniques to investigate the discrimination of wave phases is shown by means of synthetic waveforms and regional earthquake recordings.}, language = {en} } @article{BanksNishiyamaHasebeetal.2011, author = {Banks, Jo Ann and Nishiyama, Tomoaki and Hasebe, Mitsuyasu and Bowman, John L. and Gribskov, Michael and dePamphilis, Claude and Albert, Victor A. and Aono, Naoki and Aoyama, Tsuyoshi and Ambrose, Barbara A. and Ashton, Neil W. and Axtell, Michael J. and Barker, Elizabeth and Barker, Michael S. and Bennetzen, Jeffrey L. and Bonawitz, Nicholas D. and Chapple, Clint and Cheng, Chaoyang and Correa, Luiz Gustavo Guedes and Dacre, Michael and DeBarry, Jeremy and Dreyer, Ingo and Elias, Marek and Engstrom, Eric M. and Estelle, Mark and Feng, Liang and Finet, Cedric and Floyd, Sandra K. and Frommer, Wolf B. and Fujita, Tomomichi and Gramzow, Lydia and Gutensohn, Michael and Harholt, Jesper and Hattori, Mitsuru and Heyl, Alexander and Hirai, Tadayoshi and Hiwatashi, Yuji and Ishikawa, Masaki and Iwata, Mineko and Karol, Kenneth G. and Koehler, Barbara and Kolukisaoglu, Uener and Kubo, Minoru and Kurata, Tetsuya and Lalonde, Sylvie and Li, Kejie and Li, Ying and Litt, Amy and Lyons, Eric and Manning, Gerard and Maruyama, Takeshi and Michael, Todd P. and Mikami, Koji and Miyazaki, Saori and Morinaga, Shin-ichi and Murata, Takashi and M{\"u}ller-R{\"o}ber, Bernd and Nelson, David R. and Obara, Mari and Oguri, Yasuko and Olmstead, Richard G. and Onodera, Naoko and Petersen, Bent Larsen and Pils, Birgit and Prigge, Michael and Rensing, Stefan A. and Mauricio Riano-Pachon, Diego and Roberts, Alison W. and Sato, Yoshikatsu and Scheller, Henrik Vibe and Schulz, Burkhard and Schulz, Christian and Shakirov, Eugene V. and Shibagaki, Nakako and Shinohara, Naoki and Shippen, Dorothy E. and Sorensen, Iben and Sotooka, Ryo and Sugimoto, Nagisa and Sugita, Mamoru and Sumikawa, Naomi and Tanurdzic, Milos and Theissen, Guenter and Ulvskov, Peter and Wakazuki, Sachiko and Weng, Jing-Ke and Willats, William W.

We report here the genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (Selaginella), the first nonseed vascular plant genome reported. By comparing gene content in evolutionarily diverse taxa, we found that the transition from a gametophyte- to a sporophyte-dominated life cycle required far fewer new genes than the transition from a nonseed vascular to a flowering plant, whereas secondary metabolic genes expanded extensively and in parallel in the lycophyte and angiosperm lineages. Selaginella differs in posttranscriptional gene regulation, including small RNA regulation of repetitive elements, an absence of the trans-acting small interfering RNA pathway, and extensive RNA editing of organellar genes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NordheimRappKrauseKoehleretal.2014, author = {Nordheim, J. and Rapp, Michael A. and Krause-Koehler, Kathleen and Niemann-Mirmehdi, M. and Haeusler, Andreas}, title = {Support for dementia affected Couples.
