The staining was visualized with fluoresceinlabeled second antiborlies. The ED2-specific staining in brain sections was restricted to macrophages in a perivascular location. The number of perivascular cells per square millimeter of high-power field was significantly greater in SHR-SP (8.6 ± 2.1; n = 4) and SHR (6. 7 ± 0.9; n = 6) than in normotensive WKY (4.0 ± 0.5; n = 6; p <0.01). The number of perivascular macrophages was also greater in SD-2y (7.5 ± 2.7; n = 9) than in SD-l6w (2.9 ± 1.8; n = 8; p < 0.01). No ED2 staining was found in the resident microglia or in the endothelial cells, which were identified by double staining with rhodamine-labeled anti-factor VIII-related antigen antiborlies. The results suggest that the stroke risk factors hypertension and advanced age are associated with increased subendothelial accumulation of monocytes and macrophages. This accumulation could increase the tendency for the endothelium to convert from an anticoagulant to a procoagulant surface in response to mediators released from these subendothelial cells.}, subject = {Willebrand-Faktor}, language = {en} } @article{XuShengGreineretal.1994, author = {Xu, Shanjia and Sheng, Xinqing and Greiner, P. and Becker, Charles R. and Geick, R.}, title = {High-order finite-element analysis of scattering properties of II-VI semiconductor materials}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86283}, year = {1994}, abstract = {The sattering characteristics ot the n-VI semiconductors were analyzed by a method which combines the second-order finite-element method with the rigorous mode matching procedure.

To demonstrate a high oncogenic potential in vivo we transferred the gene into early embryos of the closely related medakafish. Ectopic expression of the Xmrk oncogene under the control of a strong, constitutive promoter (CMVTk) led to the induction of embryonic tumors with high incidence, after short latency periods, and with a specific pattern of affected tissues. We demonstrate ligand-dependent transformation in vivo using a chimeric receptor consisting of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the human EGF receptor (HER) and the cytoplasmatic domain of Xmrk. Expression of the chimeric receptor alone does not lead to ldnase activation or induction of tumors. Coexpression of the chimera with its corresponding ligand, human transforming growth factor alpha (bTGF(X), however, results in the activation of the chimeric RTK. In injected fish embryos the induction of the neoplastic growth is observed with similar incidence and tissue distribution as in embryos carrying the native Xmrk oncogene suggesting that the ligand as well as factors downstream of tbe RTK are required for tumor formation. In this study we show single-step induction of tumors by ectopic expression of RTKs in vivo substantiating tbe significance of autocrine stimulation in RTK induced tumors in vertebrales.}, subject = {Japank{\"a}rpfling}, language = {en} } @article{WimmerLanderlSchneider1994, author = {Wimmer, Heinz and Landerl, Karin and Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {The role of rhyme awareness in learning to read a regular orthography}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-50508}, year = {1994}, abstract = {The present research examined whether children's awareness of phonological similarities between words with respect to rhyme and consonantal word onset is of the same importance for learning to read German as it was found to be for learning to read English. In two longitudinal studies differences in phonological sensitivity among children before learning to read (at age 6 to 7) were tested with versions of Bradley \& Bryant's (1985) oddity detection task. Children's reading and spelling achievements were tested about one year later at the end of grade one, and again at around the age of 10. The main finding was a developmental change in the predictive relationship of rhyme and word-onset awareness. Rhyme awareness was only minimally predictive for reading and spelling achievement at the end of grade one, but gained substantially in predictive importance for reading and spelling achievement in grades three and four. No such predictive improvement was observed for word-onset awareness. It is proposed that rhyme awareness is initially of little importance, because in the first phase of learning to read German children rely heavily on indirect word recognition via grapheme--phoneme translation and blending. The gain in the predictive importance of rhyme awareness is explained by its helpful effect on the establishment of mental representations of written words. Such mental representations allow fast, direct word recognition and orthographically correct spellings. A wareness of larger phonological units is helpful for the efficient establishment of such representations, by allowing connections of recurring grapheme clusters in written words with phonology.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{Wilhelm1994, author = {Wilhelm, Gernot}, title = {Kumme und *Kumar: Zur hurritischen Ortsnamenbildung}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86448}, year = {1994}, abstract = {no Abstract available}, subject = {Churritisch}, language = {de} } @article{Wilhelm1994, author = {Wilhelm, Gernot}, title = {Bemerkungen zur urart{\"a}ischen Pal{\"a}ographie}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87784}, year = {1994}, abstract = {no Abstract available}, subject = {Alter Orient}, language = {de} } @article{WieberLangRohseetal.1994, author = {Wieber, Markus and Lang, Stefan and Rohse, Stefan and Habersack, Ralph and Burschka, Christian}, title = {Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Triphenyltelluroniumsulfid}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-47151}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Chemie}, language = {de} } @article{Wehgartner1994, author = {Wehgartner, Irma}, title = {R{\"o}ntgenstrahlen und Arch{\"a}ologie}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-53827}, year = {1994}, abstract = {Naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungsmethoden werden heute ganz selbstverst{\"a}ndlich zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung arch{\"a}ologischer Objekte herangezogen.

This total dose could be administered eilher at a high dose rate within a few days or, preferably, at a low dose rate over several weeks.
