The usage of the Web has experienced a vertiginous growth in the last few years. Watching video online has been one major driving force for this growth lately. Until the appearance of the HTML5 agglomerate of (still draft) specifications, the access and consumption of multimedia content in the Web has not been standardized. Hence, the use of proprietary Web browser plugins flourished as intermediate solution. With the introduction of the HTML5 VideoElement, Web browser plugins are replaced with a standardized alternative. Still, HTML5 Video is currently limited in many respects, including the access to only file-based media. This paper investigates on approaches to develop video live streaming solutions based on available Web standards. Besides a pull-based design based on HTTP, a push-based architecture is introduced, making use of the WebSocket protocol being part of the HTML5 standards family as well. The evaluation results of both conceptual principles emphasize, that push-based approaches have a higher potential of providing resource and cost efficient solutions as their pull-based counterparts. In addition, initial approaches to instrument the proposed push-based architecture with adaptiveness to network conditions have been developed.

Die nachhaltige Organisation des Verkehrs soll auf kostengünstige, umweltfreundliche und nutzerfreundlichere Nahverkehrskonzepte, die möglichst viele Bürger zur Nutzung des ÖPNV einladen, abzielen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es das Ziel dieses Beitrags, instrumentelle Ansatzpunkte für ein Nachhaltigkeitscontrolling in ÖPNV-Unternehmen aufzuzeigen. Hierzu werden nachfolgend die Berücksichtigung der Nachhaltigkeit bei Investitionsentscheidungen, das Carbon Accounting (Transparenz über CO2-Emissionen), die Integration der ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Nachhaltigkeitsdimension bei der Berichterstattung und die Einbindung der genannten Instrumente in ein Managementsystem skizziert. Die Nachhaltigkeitsdimensionen Ökologie, Ökonomie und Soziales lassen sich gut mit Hilfe mehrdimensionaler, integrierter Managementsysteme in der Organisation verankern und systematisch in interne Strukturen und Prozesse einbetten. Integrierte Managementsysteme können so eine wichtige Voraussetzung für ein effizientes Nachhaltigkeitscontrolling sein.
Social cash transfers (SCTs) are considered a priority in least-developed countries, where the gap between the need for basic social protection and existing provisions is greatest. This study represents one of the first comprehensive treatments of the impact of social cash transfers in low-income sub-Saharan Africa, and the first for Zambia's oldest SCT scheme. The results, based on propensity score matching and fully efficient odds-weighted regression, and data from the Kalomo SCT pilot scheme, confirm positive SCT effects on per capita consumption expenditure. We also discover threshold effects with SCT mostly impacting food expenditure among poorer beneficiary households and non-food expenditure among wealthier beneficiaries.
Analytical pyrolysis technique hyphenated to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) has extended the range of possible tools for characterization of synthetic polymers/copolymers. Pyrolysis involves thermal fragmentation of the analytical sample at elevated temperature between 500 and 1400 °C. In the presence of an inert gas, reproducible decomposition products characteristic for the original polymer/copolymer sample are formed. The pyrolysis products are chromatographically separated by using a fused silica capillary column and subsequently identified by interpretation of the obtained mass spectra or by using mass spectra libraries. The analytical technique eliminate the need for pre-treatment by performing analyses directly on the solid or liquid polymer sample.
In this paper, application examples of the analytical pyrolysis hyphenated to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for the identification of different polymeric materials in the plastic and automotive industry, dentistry and occupational safety are demonstrated. For the first time results of identification of commercially light-curing dental filling material and a car wrapping foil by pyrolysis-GC/MS are presented.
Verantwortliches Wirtschaften beschreibt die Betrachtung ökonomischer, ökologischer und sozialer Aspekte als ganzheitliches Konzept sowie deren Integration in die betriebswirtschaftliche Praxis mit dem Ziel, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu erhalten und Unternehmensrisiken zu minimieren. Verantwortliches Wirtschaften steht zudem für die Verpflichtung eines Unternehmens gegenüber seinen Stakeholdern sowie seiner Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft.
Exposure to microgravity conditions causes cardiovascular deconditioning in astronauts during spaceflight. Until now, no specific drugs are available for countermeasure, since the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play key roles in various vascular functions, many of which are regulated by purinergic 2 (P2) receptors. However, their function in ECs and SMCs under microgravity conditions is still unclear. In this study, primary ECs and SMCs were isolated from bovine aorta and verified with specific markers. We show for the first time that the P2 receptor expression pattern is altered in ECs and SMCs after 24 h exposure to simulated microgravity using a clinostat. However, conditioned medium compensates this change in specific P2 receptors, for example, P2X7. Notably, P2 receptors such as P2X7 might be the important players during the paracrine interaction. Additionally, ECs and SMCs secreted different cytokines under simulated microgravity, leading into a pathogenic proliferation and migration. In conclusion, our data indicate P2 receptors might be important players responding to gravity changes in ECs and SMCs. Since some artificial P2 receptor ligands are applied as drugs, it is reasonable to assume that they might be promising candidates against cardiovascular deconditioning in the future.

It is a euphemism to say that humans use tools. Humans possess a vast repertoire of tools they use every day. In fact, as language or bipedal locomotion, tool use is a hallmark of humans. Tool use has also been often viewed as an important step during evolution (van Schaik et al., 1999) or even as a marker of the evolution of human intelligence (Wynn, 1985). So a fundamental issue is, what are the cognitive and neural bases of human tool use? The present series of papers in this special topic represents the newest additions to that research topic.
