Product Description:
A group of none-too-bright fraternity jocks packs it up and heads out into the grand American wilderness. Once there, they fool with Mother Nature in the worst way when they stumble across the eggs of a rare, vicious (and GIANT) crocodile. Soon, the killer croc is on a bloody rampage of carnage and destruction, and it's up to the locals, led by the sheriff, to stop the bustling beasty. Big animal horror from genre master Hooper, who covered similar evil amphibian territory in EATEN ALIVE.

This holiday property is a former 'bergerie' enjoying outstanding views of rolling countryside which stretch as far as the Pyrénées. The elevated setting is blissfully peaceful - and so this is just the most perfect spot to unwind. Behind the rustic exterior lies a bright and largely contemporary interior with an excellent fitted kitchen area. To the side of the cottage is a covered area for dining outdoors. The delightful owners live in the main house and keep the grounds well maintained. In their absence, you have the pool and grounds to yourselves. A slight slope leads to the pool, located below, and offers breathtaking views of the valley and the Pyrénées. By the pool, enjoy a sauna for 8 people (on request). The house overlooks a 9-hole golf course which can be accessed directly.
Well-equipped kitchen/dining room. Double bedroom. Bunk bedroom with additional single bed. Bathroom/WC, over-bath shower. Open-tread stairs to first floor: Living room, balcony doors. Double bedroom. Bathroom/WC
Location: 2km from 9-hole golf, 7 km SE of Masseube (all facilities, weekly market), 8km from recreational lake at Seissan, 30km S of Auch (county town, 18-hole golf), 85km SW of Toulouse airport.

Remember everything. Forgive nothing.
Bourne is brought out of hiding once again by reporter Simon Ross who is trying to unveil Operation Blackbriar, an upgrade to Project Treadstone, in a series of newspaper columns.

An absolute marvel of action filmmaking, a stunning work of precision craftsmanship & a fitting conclusion to the Jason Bourne saga, The Bourne Ultimatum is a rare second sequel that works flawlessly by taking a huge leap with its premise to effortlessly surpass the towering expectations set by its much-beloved predecessors & isn't just the finest instalment of The Bourne Trilogy but is impressive enough to qualify as one of the greatest films ever made.
Picking up the storyline right where it was left off in The Bourne Supremacy before taking a six weeks leap, The Bourne Ultimatum continues the quest of Jason Bourne as he retraces his steps back to his origin with a few help along the road to guide…
Possibly the greatest spy thriller ever. Truly thrilling in every moment, powered by Greengrass' superb kinetic directing and editing. This film ever ceases to entertain and excite. The best of the Bourne franchise.
Outstanding setpieces, especially the Tangiers chase, don't really cover up for how unbelievably silly this is, nor do they manage to lend weight to its mostly superficial stabs at political timeliness, recasting its hero as the ultimate (sorry) drone gone rogue. Anyway my favorite thing about this (and all of these movies really) is just how monumentally clueless the CIA guys are. Their ability to track and capture any given character fluctuates wildly due to the needs of this leaden, endlessly expository script, to the point where the entire American intelligence apparatus is hunting Bourne and he manages to fly commercial into New York on a bogus passport and infiltrate the Deputy Director's personal office. Like, they didn't even flag…
I did manage the whole trilogy in one day. Yay me!
The Bourne Ultimatum has to overcome a couple of issues. Firstly, Paddy Considine is not only miscast but utterly wasted as a nosy newspaper journalist who ends up feebly standing by as Matt Damon beats up blokes around him and generally acting like a flapping ninny. That said, the main scene he's involved in around Waterloo station (never could look at that place the same after I saw this!) is quite marvellously tense.
It also suffers from overusing the 'dodgy CIA boss' storyline, even doubling up on that front this time round and then still failing to use the excellent Scott Glenn nearly enough anyway. Fortunately The Bourne Ultimatum…
I thought that if I watched this again while jumping up and down, doing cartwheels and somersaults it might counterbalance the unbelievably annoying shaky cam.
It didn't.
It gave me an even worse headache than the first time I watched it.
"The Bourne Ultimatum" is an absolutely perfect conclusion to the Bourne series. It wraps up everything, and finally gives us many of the answers. It moves at an incredibly fast pace, and the runtime flies by due to Paul Greengrass's energetic and stylish direction. He handles the action scenes even better here, and the Morocco chase/fight sequence is without a doubt my favourite action scene of the franchise. This is just everything you could possibly ask for in an action film, and a conclusion to a series. I'm really having a hard time deciding if I like this film or the second one best.
Recent reviewsMore
The whole runtime of Bourne Ultimatum goes like an extended climax. Not too many films have achieved that feat.
The number of windows that are shot, smashed, or jumped through in this franchise is phenomenal.
It's hard to have an action movie without characters, but the Bourne series has always managed it. Even when someone from one of the previous movies shows up, the best connection you can really manage is "oh right it's that person who did that thing." No one has their own personality or their own wants and needs. Everyone in these movies who isn't Jason Bourne is practically interchangeable, and their job is to be terrified of or impressed by Jason Bourne.
The strengths are the same as The Bourne Supremacy's. A hell of a good score, some extremely well-thought-out and executed setpieces, an overall sense of urgency, and a few genuinely cathartic moments where Bourne is at least two steps ahead of his opposition. That all still works great--if anything, maybe a little better than in Supremacy--it would just be easier to appreciate with a bit more coherence.
Needed more Bruhl, but still enjoyable.
I'm going to start this by saying that I kind of didn't like Supremacy, not that I found it a bad film but I never found the plot anything decent, it was average to me. With Greengrass of course you get the camera which looks like the guy holding it has many an itch, and the fast edits too which make the movies look fast but also nearly enough to induce motion sickness. And here we have The Bourne Ultimatum, a film I wasn't expecting to be great, but it is tense, a fine tuned story and most importantly on a personal level, the shaky cam didn't irritate me as much.
Matt Damon comes back into the role working on…
The best of the original trilogy, hands down. It's a feat when the third movie in a franchise is actually the best.
The Waterloo Station scene and the Tangier chase are iconic.
more of this shit please!

- Interactive Visualizations Supporting Minimal Cut Set Analysis II (2016)
- The Context and Its Importance: In safety and reliability analysis, the information generated by Minimal Cut Set (MCS) analysis is large. The Top Level event (TLE) that is the root of the fault tree (FT) represents a hazardous state of the system being analyzed. MCS analysis helps in analyzing the fault tree (FT) qualitatively-and quantitatively when accompanied with quantitative measures. The information shows the bottlenecks in the fault tree design leading to identifying weaknesses of the system being examined. Safety analysis (containing the MCS analysis) is especially important for critical systems, where harm can be done to the environment or human causing injuries, or even death during the system usage. Minimal Cut Set (MCS) analysis is performed using computers and generating a lot of information. This phase is called MCS analysis I in this thesis. The information is then analyzed by the analysts to determine possible issues and to improve the design of the system regarding its safety as early as possible. This phase is called MCS analysis II in this thesis. The goal of my thesis was developing interactive visualizations to support MCS analysis II of one fault tree (FT). The Methodology: As safety visualization-in this thesis, Minimal Cut Set analysis II visualization-is an emerging field and no complete checklist regarding Minimal Cut Set analysis II requirements and gaps were available from the perspective of visualization and interaction capabilities, I have conducted multiple studies using different methods with different data sources (i.e., triangulation of methods and data) for determining these requirements and gaps before developing and evaluating visualizations and interactions supporting Minimal Cut Set analysis II. Thus, the following approach was taken in my thesis: 1- First, a triangulation of mixed methods and data sources was conducted. 2- Then, four novel interactive visualizations and one novel interaction widget were developed. 3- Finally, these interactive visualizations were evaluated both objectively and subjectively (compared to multiple safety tools) from the point of view of users and developers of the safety tools that perform MCS analysis I with respect to their degree in supporting MCS analysis II and from the point of non-domain people using empirical strategies. The Spiral tool supports analysts with different visions, i.e., full vision, color deficiency protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia. It supports 100 out of 103 (97%) requirements obtained from the triangulation and it fills 37 out of 39 (95%) gaps. Its usability was rated high (better than their best currently used tools) by the users of the safety and reliability tools (RiskSpectrum, ESSaRel, FaultTree+, and a self-developed tool) and at least similar to the best currently used tools from the point of view of the CAFTA tool developers. Its quality was higher regarding its degree of supporting MCS analysis II compared to the FaultTree+ tool. The time spent for discovering the critical MCSs from a problem size of 540 MCSs (with a worst case of all equal order) was less than a minute while achieving 99.5% accuracy. The scalability of the Spiral visualization was above 4000 MCSs for a comparison task. The Dynamic Slider reduces the interaction movements up to 85.71% of the previous sliders and solves the overlapping thumb issues by the sliders provides the 3D model view of the system being analyzed provides the ability to change the coloring of MCSs according to the color vision of the user provides selecting a BE (i.e., multi-selection of MCSs), thus, can observe the BEs' NoO and provides its quality provides two interaction speeds for panning and zooming in the MCS, BE, and model views provide a MCS, a BE, and a physical tab for supporting the analysis starting by the MCSs, the BEs, or the physical parts. It combines MCS analysis results and the model of an embedded system enabling the analysts to directly relate safety information with the corresponding parts of the system being analyzed and provides an interactive mapping between the textual information of the BEs and MCSs and the parts related to the BEs. Verifications and Assessments: I have evaluated all visualizations and the interaction widget both objectively and subjectively, and finally evaluated the final Spiral visualization tool also both objectively and subjectively regarding its perceived quality and regarding its degree of supporting MCS analysis II.
- The Bootstrap for the Functional Autoregressive Model FAR(1) (2016)
- Functional data analysis is a branch of statistics that deals with observations \(X_1,..., X_n\) which are curves. We are interested in particular in time series of dependent curves and, specifically, consider the functional autoregressive process of order one (FAR(1)), which is defined as \(X_{n+1}=\Psi(X_{n})+\epsilon_{n+1}\) with independent innovations \(\epsilon_t\). Estimates \(\hat{\Psi}\) for the autoregressive operator \(\Psi\) have been investigated a lot during the last two decades, and their asymptotic properties are well understood. Particularly difficult and different from scalar- or vector-valued autoregressions are the weak convergence properties which also form the basis of the bootstrap theory. Although the asymptotics for \(\hat{\Psi}{(X_{n})}\) are still tractable, they are only useful for large enough samples. In applications, however, frequently only small samples of data are available such that an alternative method for approximating the distribution of \(\hat{\Psi}{(X_{n})}\) is welcome. As a motivation, we discuss a real-data example where we investigate a changepoint detection problem for a stimulus response dataset obtained from the animal physiology group at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. To get an alternative for asymptotic approximations, we employ the naive or residual-based bootstrap procedure. In this thesis, we prove theoretically and show via simulations that the bootstrap provides asymptotically valid and practically useful approximations of the distributions of certain functions of the data. Such results may be used to calculate approximate confidence bands or critical bounds for tests.
- Integrality of representations of finite groups (2016)
- Since the early days of representation theory of finite groups in the 19th century, it was known that complex linear representations of finite groups live over number fields, that is, over finite extensions of the field of rational numbers. While the related question of integrality of representations was answered negatively by the work of Cliff, Ritter and Weiss as well as by Serre and Feit, it was not known how to decide integrality of a given representation. In this thesis we show that there exists an algorithm that given a representation of a finite group over a number field decides whether this representation can be made integral. Moreover, we provide theoretical and numerical evidence for a conjecture, which predicts the existence of splitting fields of irreducible characters with integrality properties. In the first part, we describe two algorithms for the pseudo-Hermite normal form, which is crucial when handling modules over ring of integers. Using a newly developed computational model for ideal and element arithmetic in number fields, we show that our pseudo-Hermite normal form algorithms have polynomial running time. Furthermore, we address a range of algorithmic questions related to orders and lattices over Dedekind domains, including computation of genera, testing local isomorphism, computation of various homomorphism rings and computation of Solomon zeta functions. In the second part we turn to the integrality of representations of finite groups and show that an important ingredient is a thorough understanding of the reduction of lattices at almost all prime ideals. By employing class field theory and tools from representation theory we solve this problem and eventually describe an algorithm for testing integrality. After running the algorithm on a large set of examples we are led to a conjecture on the existence of integral and nonintegral splitting fields of characters. By extending techniques of Serre we prove the conjecture for characters with rational character field and Schur index two.
- Development of nano/micro hybrid susceptor sheet for induction heating applications (2016)
- Thermoplastic composite materials are being widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Due to the limitations of shape complexity, different components need to be joined. They can be joined by mechanical fasteners, adhesive bonding or both. However, these methods have several limitations. Components can be joined by fusion bonding due to the property of thermoplastics. Thermoplastics can be melted on heating and regain their shape on cooling. This property makes them ideal for joining through fusion bonding by induction heating. Joining of non-conducting or non-magnetic thermoplastic composites needs an additional material that can generate heat by induction heating. Polymers are neither conductive nor electromagnetic so they don't have inherent potential for inductive heating. A susceptor sheet having conductive materials (e.g. carbon fiber) or magnetic materials (e.g. nickel) can generate heat during induction. The main issues related with induction heating are non-homogeneous and uncontrolled heating. In this work, it was observed that to generate heat with a susceptor sheet depends on its filler, its concentration, and its dispersion. It also depends on the coil, magnetic field strength and coupling distance. The combination of different fillers not only increased the heating rate but also changed the heating mechanism. Heating of 40ºC/ sec was achieved with 15wt.-% nickel coated short carbon fibers and 3wt.-% multiwalled carbon nanotubes. However, only nickel coated short carbon fibers (15wt-.%) attained the heating rate of 24ºC/ sec. In this study, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and magnetic properties testing were also performed. The results also showed that electrical percolation was achieved around 15wt.-% in fibers and (13- 6)wt.-% with hybrid fillers. Induction heating tests were also performed by making parallel and perpendicular susceptor sheet as fibers were uni-directionally aligned. The susceptor sheet was also tested by making perforations. The susceptor sheet showed homogeneous and fast heating, and can be used for joining of non-conductive or non-magnetic thermoplastic composites.
- Verification & Performance Measurement for Transport Protocol Parallel Routing of an AUTOSAR Gateway System (2016)
- A wide range of methods and techniques have been developed over the years to manage the increasing complexity of automotive Electrical/Electronic systems. Standardization is an example of such complexity managing techniques that aims to minimize the costs, avoid compatibility problems and improve the efficiency of development processes. A well-known and -practiced standard in automotive industry is AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture). AUTOSAR is a common standard among OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer), suppliers and other involved companies. It was developed originally with the goal of simplifying the overall development and integration process of Electrical/Electronic artifacts from different functional domains, such as hardware, software, and vehicle communication. However, the AUTOSAR standard, in its current status, is not able to manage the problems in some areas of the system development. Validation and optimization process of system configuration handled in this thesis are examples of such areas, in which the AUTOSAR standard offers so far no mature solutions. Generally, systems developed on the basis of AUTOSAR must be configured in a way that all defined requirements are met. In most cases, the number of configuration parameters and their possible settings in AUTOSAR systems are large, especially if the developed system is complex with modules from various knowledge domains. The verification process here can consume a lot of resources to test all possible combinations of configuration settings, and ideally find the optimal configuration variant, since the number of test cases can be very high. This problem is referred to in literature as the combinatorial explosion problem. Combinatorial testing is an active and promising area of functional testing that offers ideas to solve the combinatorial explosion problem. Thereby, the focus is to cover the interaction errors by selecting a sample of system input parameters or configuration settings for test case generation. However, the industrial acceptance of combinatorial testing is still weak because of the deficiency of real industrial examples. This thesis is tempted to fill this gap between the industry and the academy in the area of combinatorial testing to emphasizes the effectiveness of combinatorial testing in verifying complex configurable systems. The particular intention of the thesis is to provide a new applicable approach to combinatorial testing to fight the combinatorial explosion problem emerged during the verification and performance measurement of transport protocol parallel routing of an AUTOSAR gateway. The proposed approach has been validated and evaluated by means of two real industrial examples of AUTOSAR gateways with multiple communication buses and two different degrees of complexity to illustrate its applicability.
- Centimeter-Level Accuracy Path Tracking Control of Tractors and Actively Steered Implements (2015)
- Accurate path tracking control of tractors became a key technology for automation in agriculture. Increasingly sophisticated solutions, however, revealed that accurate path tracking control of implements is at least equally important. Therefore, this work focuses on accurate path tracking control of both tractors and implements. The latter, as a prerequisite for improved control, are equipped with steering actuators like steerable wheels or a steerable drawbar, i.e. the implements are actively steered. This work contributes both new plant models and new control approaches for those kinds of tractor-implement combinations. Plant models comprise dynamic vehicle models accounting for forces and moments causing the vehicle motion as well as simplified kinematic descriptions. All models have been derived in a systematic and automated manner to allow for variants of implements and actuator combinations. Path tracking controller design begins with a comprehensive overview and discussion of existing approaches in related domains. Two new approaches have been proposed combining the systematic setup and tuning of a Linear-Quadratic-Regulator with the simplicity of a static output feedback approximation. The first approach ensures accurate path tracking on slopes and curves by including integral control for a selection of controlled variables. The second approach, instead, ensures this by adding disturbance feedforward control based on side-slip estimation using a non-linear kinematic plant model and an Extended Kalman Filter. For both approaches a feedforward control approach for curved path tracking has been newly derived. In addition, a straightforward extension of control accounting for the implement orientation has been developed. All control approaches have been validated in simulations and experiments carried out with a mid-size tractor and a custom built demonstrator implement.
- Model-based Design of Embedded Systems by Desynchronization (2016)
- In this thesis we developed a desynchronization design flow in the goal of easing the de- velopment effort of distributed embedded systems. The starting point of this design flow is a network of synchronous components. By transforming this synchronous network into a dataflow process network (DPN), we ensures important properties that are difficult or theoretically impossible to analyze directly on DPNs are preserved by construction. In particular, both deadlock-freeness and buffer boundedness can be preserved after desyn- chronization. For the correctness of desynchronization, we developed a criteria consisting of two properties: a global property that demands the correctness of the synchronous network, as well as a local property that requires the latency-insensitivity of each local synchronous component. As the global property is also a correctness requirement of synchronous systems in general, we take this property as an assumption of our desyn- chronization. However, the local property is in general not satisfied by all synchronous components, and therefore needs to be verified before desynchronization. In this thesis we developed a novel technique for the verification of the local property that can be carried out very efficiently. Finally we developed a model transformation method that translates a set of synchronous guarded actions – an intermediate format for synchronous systems – to an asynchronous actor description language (CAL). Our theorem ensures that one passed the correctness verification, the generated DPN of asynchronous pro- cesses (or actors) preserves the functional behavior of the original synchronous network. Moreover, by the correctness of the synchronous network, our theorem guarantees that the derived DPN is deadlock-free and can be implemented with only finitely bounded buffers.
- Monoids as Storage Mechanisms (2016)
- Automata theory has given rise to a variety of automata models that consist of a finite-state control and an infinite-state storage mechanism. The aim of this work is to provide insights into how the structure of the storage mechanism influences the expressiveness and the analyzability of the resulting model. To this end, it presents generalizations of results about individual storage mechanisms to larger classes. These generalizations characterize those storage mechanisms for which the given result remains true and for which it fails. In order to speak of classes of storage mechanisms, we need an overarching framework that accommodates each of the concrete storage mechanisms we wish to address. Such a framework is provided by the model of valence automata, in which the storage mechanism is represented by a monoid. Since the monoid serves as a parameter to specifying the storage mechanism, our aim translates into the question: For which monoids does the given (automata-theoretic) result hold? As a first result, we present an algebraic characterization of those monoids over which valence automata accept only regular languages. In addition, it turns out that for each monoid, this is the case if and only if valence grammars, an analogous grammar model, can generate only context-free languages. Furthermore, we are concerned with closure properties: We study which monoids result in a Boolean closed language class. For every language class that is closed under rational transductions (in particular, those induced by valence automata), we show: If the class is Boolean closed and contains any non-regular language, then it already includes the whole arithmetical hierarchy. This work also introduces the class of graph monoids, which are defined by finite graphs. By choosing appropriate graphs, one can realize a number of prominent storage mechanisms, but also combinations and variants thereof. Examples are pushdowns, counters, and Turing tapes. We can therefore relate the structure of the graphs to computational properties of the resulting storage mechanisms. In the case of graph monoids, we study (i) the decidability of the emptiness problem, (ii) which storage mechanisms guarantee semilinear Parikh images, (iii) when silent transitions (i.e. those that read no input) can be avoided, and (iv) which storage mechanisms permit the computation of downward closures.
- In vitro Untersuchungen zur Gentoxizität der Alkenylbenzene α-, β- und γ-Asaron sowie ausgewählter oxidativer Metaboliten (2016)
- α-, β- und γ-Asaron gehören zur Gruppe der Phenylpropanoide und kommen überwiegend in Pflanzen der Familien Aristolochiaceae, Acoraceae und Lauraceae vor. Asarone sind im etherischen Öl dieser Pflanzen enthalten, welches hauptsächlich als Aromastoff in alkoholischen Getränken wie Bitterlikören oder in der traditionellen Pflanzenmedizin eingesetzt wird. α- und β-Asaron besitzen pharmakologische Eigenschaften und könnten potentiell in der Therapie von verschiedenen Krankheiten eingesetzt werden, jedoch haben Studien gezeigt, dass diese Verbindungen sowie indisches Kalmusöl im Tierversuch im Nager krebserregend sind (Dünndarm und Leber). Der Mechanismus dieser kanzerogenen Wirkung ist derzeit noch unklar, wobei ein gentoxischer Weg nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann. Studien zur Gentoxizität der propenylischen Verbindungen α- und β-Asaron sind bislang uneinheitlich. Daten zur Kanzerogenität und Gentoxizität des allylischen γ-Asarons fehlen gänzlich. Basierend auf der aktuellen Datenlage ist eine Risikobewertung für Zubereitungen, die Asarone enthalten, nicht möglich. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertation sollte daher mithilfe von verschiedenen in vitro Testsystemen ein Beitrag zur Aufklärung des Wirkmechanismus der Kanzerogenität geleistet und die Frage nach der Gentoxizität der Asarone geklärt werden. Dazu wurde zunächst ein bakterieller Mutagenitätstest (Ames-Fluktuationstest) mit und ohne exogene metabolische Aktivierung (S9-Mix) in den Salmonella typhimurium-Stämmen TA97a, TA98, TA100 und TA102 eingesetzt. Zusätzlich wurden Untersuchungen zur Zytotoxizität und Gentoxizität in Säugerzellen durchgeführt. Zur Überprüfung der Mutagenität diente der Hypoxanthinphosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT)-Test in V79-Zellen und gentechnisch veränderten V79-Zellen (V79-hCYP1A2-hSULT1A1*1 und V79- rCYP1A2-rSULT1C1) und zur Bestimmung des gentoxischen Potentials wurde der Mikrokerntest in V79-Zellen und metabolisch kompetenten HepG2-Zellen herangezogen. α- und β-Asaron zeigten im Ames-Fluktuationstest nur nach metabolischer Aktivierung ein mutagenes Potential. Diese Ergebnisse deuten auf die wichtige Rolle des Metabolismus in der Toxizität der propenylischen Asarone hin. Deshalb wurden neben den drei Asaron-Isomeren auch ausgewählte oxidative Metaboliten ((E/Z)-Asaron-1',2'-epoxid, γ-Asaron-2',3'-epoxid, erythro- und threo-1',2'-Dihydro-1',2'-dihydroxyasaron, (E/Z)-3'-Oxoasaron und 2,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl-2-propanon) auf Mutagenität getestet. Dabei konnte festgestellt werden, dass die mutagene Wirkung von α- und β-Asaron auf die Epoxidierung der Seitenkette zurückzuführen ist, da die entsprechenden Epoxide im Ames-Fluktuationstest ebenfalls mutagen waren. Außerdem führte der HPRT-Test in den gentechnisch veränderten V79-hCYP1A2-hSULT1A1*1-Zellen zu einer leichten Erhöhung der Mutationsfrequenz nach Inkubation mit den Asaronen, während der Test in den Standard-V79- und V79-rCYP1A2-rSULT1C1-Zellen für diese Verbindungen keine Veränderung im Vergleich zur Negativkontrolle zeigte. Im Mikrokerntest in HepG2-Zellen konnte ebenfalls ein gentoxisches Potential für die propenylischen Asarone nachgewiesen werden. Welchen Einfluss dabei der Metabolismus der Substanzen hat, wurde mithilfe einer Vorinkubation mit TCDD überprüft, welches vor allem zur Induktion von CYP1A-Enzymen in HepG2-Zellen führt. Bei allen drei Asaron-Isomeren wurde dadurch eine Erhöhung der relativen Mikrokernrate erreicht, insbesondere jedoch bei α-Asaron. Die Inkubation mit den oxidativen Metaboliten gab Hinweise darauf, dass die gentoxische Wirkung hier vermutlich auf die Bildung von (E/Z)-3'-Oxoasaron zurückzuführen ist. In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte somit gezeigt werden, dass nicht nur zwischen allylischen und propenylischen Asaronen Unterschiede in der Gentoxizität vorliegen, sondern auch zwischen dem trans(α)- und cis(β)-Isomer. Dieser Befund geht mit den neuesten Untersuchungen zum Metabolismus dieser Substanzen einher, der sich ebenfalls zwischen den propenylischen Asaronen unterscheidet. Dem allylischen γ-Asaron liegt wiederum ein anderer Wirkmechanismus zugrunde. Der postulierte Metabolismusweg für vergleichbare allylische Alkenylbenzene basiert auf einer CYP-Hydroxylierung der Seitenkette und einer weiteren Sulfonierung durch Sulfotransferasen. Durch eine spontane Abspaltung der Sulfat-Gruppe entsteht ein reaktives Carbokation, das mit nukleophilen Zentren (z.B. Proteinen oder DNA) reagieren und somit letztlich zu Mutationen und der Entstehung von Krebs beitragen kann. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit geben jedoch keinen Hinweis darauf, dass es bei γ-Asaron analog zu anderen allylischen Propenylbenzenen zu einer Bildung eines ultimaten Kanzerogens kommt, da keine mutagene Wirkung in den hier verwendeten Testsystemen zu beobachten war, die zum Großteil eine Aktivierung über Sulfotransferasen ermöglichten.
- Hecke algebras of type A: Auslander--Reiten quivers and branching rules (2016)
- The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part we consider the stable Auslander--Reiten quiver of a block \(B\) of a Hecke algebra of the symmetric group at a root of unity in characteristic zero. The main theorem states that if the ground field is algebraically closed and \(B\) is of wild representation type, then the tree class of every connected component of the stable Auslander--Reiten quiver \(\Gamma_{s}(B)\) of \(B\) is \(A_{\infty}\). The main ingredient of the proof is a skew group algebra construction over a quantum complete intersection. Also, for these algebras the stable Auslander--Reiten quiver is computed in the case where the defining parameters are roots of unity. As a result, the tree class of every connected component of the stable Auslander--Reiten quiver is \(A_{\infty}\).\[\] In the second part of the thesis we are concerned with branching rules for Hecke algebras of the symmetric group at a root of unity. We give a detailed survey of the theory initiated by I. Grojnowski and A. Kleshchev, describing the Lie-theoretic structure that the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional modules over a cyclotomic Hecke algebra carries. A decisive role in this approach is played by various functors that give branching rules for cyclotomic Hecke algebras that are independent of the underlying field. We give a thorough definition of divided power functors that will enable us to reformulate the Scopes equivalence of a Scopes pair of blocks of Hecke algebras of the symmetric group. As a consequence we prove that two indecomposable modules that correspond under this equivalence have a common vertex. In particular, we verify the Dipper--Du Conjecture in the case where the blocks under consideration have finite representation type.

Splunk's Sullivan: Value, Complexity Important Trends in IT
David Sims
TMCnet Contributing Editor
(Editor's Note: This article refers to a video interview shot at Interop (
) 2010. To view TMCnet's entire library of videos from Interop and other industry shows, demonstrations and interviews in our in-house studio, visit our

Recently at the Interop 2010 show in Las Vegas, TMC's CEO Rich Tehrani had a chance to interview Splunk's President and CEO Godfrey Sullivan, who characterized his company as "Google (
) for the data center."
It's a search engine that looks through all the IT infrastructure for a client, and as Sullivan noted, this is the third year they were chosen as the trouble-shooting standard for work at Interop: "We searched half a billion events over the past three days," he said, "looking at network traffic, Web site destination, attacks" and other events.
Business is good, Sullivan said, noting that the company grew 120 percent last year. Indeed, any company growing 120 percent in 2009 is doing well.
When asked about trends he'd seen changing in the industry over the past couple years, Sullivan said that the infrastructures are getting more and more complex, so "having a tool like Splunk (
), where you can aggregate all the data in your infrastructure and look at it in one common view, that's a real benefit as IT infrastructures continue to grow more complex."
Another trend Sullivan remarked upon is that with tight(er) budgets these days, "IT organizations want to see value before they spend the money. That's been a real plus for us - we have paying customers in 68 countries." Sullivan said that's because people download the free version of the product, use that, test it out, and "come back to buy a license. Pretty good evidence of the power of viral, and the power of proving your value before you get paid for it."

Fifty-six sections sold the morning they became available in Rototuna two weeks ago. People slept in their cars to get a slice of land and some were still turned away. Alistair Bone looks at what's holding up land availability, why it costs so much and what the council and developers are doing about it.
House prices are on the rise in Hamilton City - up more than 1.5 per cent in just the last month. REINZ figures for October show new digs within the city will cost you a median $338,000, $8000 more than last year. Politicians hear the pain of first-home buyers. But only if you live somewhere else.
National is designating 600 homes in the huge West-Auckland Hobsonville Point development as "affordable", a marker which, in the Auckland market, means they will be priced under $485,000. Labour has committed to building 10,000 houses in its first year in office, then 90,000 more in the rest of the decade if it gets the chance. They will be basic - priced under $300,000. Most will be in Auckland, the rest in other "unaffordable" areas such as Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington and Tauranga.
Despite a median house price not far from Nelson's and Christchurch's, and higher than Tauranga's, there will be nothing for Hamilton.
If prices are to come down here, the council and developers will have to do it themselves. The problem is they don't seem to get along.
Colin Jones has been in the real estate game in the region for 40 years. He represents two major landowners in the Peacockes area: a 740-hectare slab of grass just south of where Hamilton's current suburbs end. It's slated as the next big development for the city.
He lays the blame at the feet of the city leaders.
"Council has been the gatekeeper stopping development for the last 20 years. When you restrict supply and you've got demand, prices will rise. The council spent all this money on V8s, Claudelands, etc, and restricted the amount of infrastructure it was putting into the city. So it's taken forever for developers to get sections available for sale."
Mr Jones says someone who wants to develop land is usually looking at between three and five years of dealing with the council before work can start.
"I've got people who have got land out at Peacockes they have been waiting over 30 years to develop. The Housing Corporation bought it for affordable housing in the 1970s and exactly nothing has happened."
He says things are finally starting to move with Mayor Julie Hardaker and CEO Barry Harris at the helm. But despite a green light for the Peacockes development, it's not exactly humming along.
"All we've got is stage one around Dixon Road."
The council says it is not rationing land - it just can't afford to release it. Brian Croad is the general manager of city environments, Blair Bowcott is the chief of strategy and research. They say before any subdivision can be greenlit, it has to be supported with hellishly expensive infrastructure built outside its boundaries. So, for instance, prior to building the 10,000 houses planned for the second stage of the Peacockes subdivision, there will need to be a new bridge over the river coming off Cobham Drive by Hamilton Gardens. And a separate major new access road. And a big sewerage project.
The problem is the city has to build all the infrastructure first and hope the project goes ahead. And even if it does, it will be a while before council sees a return on its investment.
"We can't bankroll a hundred-million-dollar roading network to start [the subdivision] up without going into a lot more debt," says Mr Croad, "and that's what we used to do. But with the changes in the funding environment, to stay within the debt envelope, we can't do that any more."
The city has made some big financial mistakes and is paying for it now. Mr Croad says the new council is turning things around, but the $440m debt ceiling will be reached within a couple of years anyway without new costs being taken on.
Money is still being spent on infrastructure - on the much smaller stage one of Peacockes, in finishing off the work around Rototuna and at Rotokauri.
"We are targeting certain areas where we are saying it is better to finish off that particular area than to spend a considerably bigger amount to start a new one. We just can't afford to do that," says Mr Croad.
The planners say councillors acted on expert advice when they set the debt limit and were fully aware of the restraints they were placing on the city's growth.
There are some potential solutions. Developers already supply everything within the boundaries of a subdivision - roads, water, sewerage, phone, footpath and lights - but Mr Bowcott says there is the possibility of doing things faster if developers are also willing to pay for some of the major works surrounding the area. The council's door is also open to "commercial arrangements" if developers are having trouble finding finance in the current tight environment. He says the latter idea hasn't had much uptake, but there have been some talks about developers' paying more to see faster progress.
"For a long time in Hamilton," says Mr Bowcott, "sections sat there after they were approved because the developers didn't bring them to market. Because they couldn't make enough money out of them. And now the demand is here, the pressure is on."
What developers pay already is a major bugbear. Ian Patton has been making subdivisions since 1997. He is currently developing the Glaisdale project in Rototuna with 130 sections done and another 300 on the way.
"I can tell you the first 100k of your $450,000 house is made up of GST and contributions to the council. If Government are talking about affordable houses, they have just got to look at their navel. If you take an average residential section on the market at 200k - 30 per cent is tax, GST, development and council levies."
Mr Jones is on the same page.
"Developers don't have a problem with paying a development levy. What they do have is a problem with paying it into a big hole where there is no justification for the council's numbers. For residential, it is $24,000 to $32,000 per site. But the developer has provided all the infrastructure within the subdivision, so where's the 30 grand?"
The council says the development levy is to pay for things outside the boundary of the subdivision that have to be built to service all the new houses - for instance, the wide arterials of Resolution Drive and Wairere Road in the booming northeast. But there is some movement on the developers' concerns. The Development Contributions Policy is under review, with a newly transparent cost regime in place from July 2013. Bowcott says it's a very complex exercise, but the city is getting it done.
"We will be able to demonstrate the link between individual projects and the way their charges are arrived at."
He says it's unlikely, however, that the levy will decrease.
Mr Jones identifies density as another problem.
"Until the council starts to address affordable housing by having more affordable land within the city boundaries, [meaning] medium density, you are never going to solve the low-income housing requirements. In Europe, you have medium- or high-density housing around your commercial nodes."
Mr Jones says the Chartwell Square shopping area and Five Crossroads hub are ideal for medium- or high-density housing. Others point to land beyond Crosby Road on the far eastern border of the suburbs.
Mr Croad says when he first got to Hamilton, he went exploring. "I wanted to understand why there weren't lots of apartments in the CBD. As I walked and cycled around the area, it became immediately obvious that there were all sorts of housing choices within 10 or 15 minutes of the CBD."
Unlike many other places, Hamilton is so small and such a good geographic shape that anyone who wants to benefit from the CBD doesn't have to live right in it to do so. Meaning the demand for medium- and high-density housing isn't there.
Both Mr Croad and Mr Bowcott recognise that the city can't spread forever and that higher-density housing will happen at some point. The council already encourages it, with the development levy on infill housing set around a third of what builders pay on a new subdivision. The city believes there would be strong resistance to higher-density housing in Hamilton's near East, especially at the sort of heights that would make it affordable. Mr Croad says other places are open for business.
"You can go and build high-density housing in lots of places in the city right now: at the university, at Hillcrest. We want more apartment options in the CBD. There are no limitations in terms of council plans for that to happen now. It is [instead] about market uptake and demand."
The immediate problem for the planners is on a smaller scale, but no less polarising. Under the new Rototuna Residential Zone plan, garages will have to be set back behind the house, a window and a door must face the road and the occupants must be able to see the street. It is supposed to cut down on crime and make life better for everyone. But the issue has raised the ire of many potential homeowners, who complain about the possible loss of sun and the extra danger to children and on the general principle of council's just butting out of people's business.
Builder Glen Archer is general manager at Downey Homes. He says the company made submissions when the plan was on the council drawing board, but to no avail.
"We talk about affordability and all our plans were ready to go and nice and cheap to pick up, but none of our plans work now because they all have the garage at the front."
Driveways will have to be longer, possibly a significant cost with poured concrete about $70 a square metre. "None of the sections out there are really suited for this new design," says Mr Archer. "So it's a bit of a challenging old time."
Mr Croad is confident the issue will be sorted out and indicates council will be flexible on the new rule. The council's Urban Design Panel will provide design advice to developers free for the asking. He says the council is mindful of people's budgets and denies it is instituting an expensive gold standard for cash-strapped home buyers in the midst of a downturn.
"I think it is fair to say there are a number of developments in Hamilton over the last 10 or 15 years that no one is particularly proud of. And council said that's not good enough. Most of the owners are very happy that they have got a better development that didn't affect them financially to any great extent."
The planners are reading the letters to the editor and the news articles and hearing the complaints, but won't be stopping what they see as doing their jobs. "It is a bit of a journey and it will take time and there is no doubt it will be a bit controversial," says Mr Croad.
The builders and sellers bat away the old complaint that covenants - conditions that the developer imposes on home buyers - are also responsible for pushing prices up. East of the river, most of these stipulate a new home must be built on a subdivision and mandate what its minimum floor size can be. Some covenants elsewhere limit such things as the ownership of cats, certain breeds of dog, the age and type of vehicles that can be stored at the property, shooting and complaining about noise from farms and farmers. As far back as 2008, the Human Rights Commissioner was telling a Parliamentary committee that covenants were making ghettos for the rich. The point made by Mr Patton is that "the rich" seem to prefer it that way. His new scheme has its own set, which, he says, is pretty standard.
"You can't have a goat and a chook. You can't bring your Kenworth home and start it at three in the morning. The house has to be 140 square metres and built out of permanent materials. You can't have a second-hand house and take it in there on the back of a truck. I mean, if you had paid 200k for your section and 250k for a house and some guy goes and brings in a house from the Meremere power scheme, you'd be pissed off. It just protects everything."
He says minimum floor sizes and the need for a garage to now be attached to the house has pushed prices up, but not to a significant degree, amd most houses exceed the minimum standards anyway.
"Originally, Flagstaff had no covenants because it was developed in the early days by the Housing Corporation. In later years, they found it necessary to have covenants. There's been a case where a guy's built a big shed in the back and had a stock car in there, which he worked on three nights a week with all his mates."
Even after the developer moves on, any resident has a right to enforce an area's covenants against everyone else who lives there. But Mr Jones says it's not that easy.
"It's a lawyer's field day. If a person with deep pockets says to the developer and the rest of the property owners, Get stuffed, nothing is going to happen. Unless you have someone with equally deep pockets who says, Don't piss me off, I'm going to have you on. Then it's a stand-off."
Some property lawyers disagree, saying well-written covenants are easily enforceable, sometimes with just a letter to the transgressor.
Coincidentally, just a few hours before the Government announces it will be subsidising the Hobsonville Point homes, Mr Archer was pointing to it as a solution.
"If we think about density, we generally think about the quality not being high. Hobsonville Point has got density and quality and amenity. The solution in Hamilton is not what we've got out in the northeastern corner; the solution is smaller, multi-density complexes.
"So you've got three-storey apartments next to single-level houses. That's how we get houses affordable in New Zealand."
The planners say central government could help out, too. For instance, making old schools and facilities available for development, especially to help alleviate the shortage of council housing for the elderly. But there is no movement on this and Housing New Zealand hasn't targeted the city for some time. Hamilton will have to sort itself out. The planners expect they will get lots of help on that. The District Plan will be available for public submission from December 10.
"We're very happy to receive a bit of guidance on what we need to improve. And I'm sure that will happen," says Mr Croad.

Well I believe they have the capability to increase the shutter speed and it'd also be nice to increase the max flash syn speed to 1/250 sec. All of that is doable.
Another question... why not add an internal ND filter like the X100s? Is that possible?
I dont think it can be done with the X-pro1 or EX. I would like a faster shutter as shooting wide open is an issue in bright light. I will see how the AF is with a 1 or 2 stop ND. I may just keep a 1stop handy for outdoor sessions I do.
