We report a discovery of shocked gas from the supernova remnant (SNR) G357.7+0.3. Our millimeter and submillimeter observations reveal broad molecular lines of CO(2-1), CO(3-2), CO(4-3), 13CO (2-1), and 13CO (3-2), HCO+, and HCN using the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope, the Arizona 12 m Telescope, APEX, and the MOPRA Telescope. The widths o...
In this part of work carried out by Working Group 9 (Radiation Protection Dosimetry in Medicine) of the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS), water tank experiments described in this issue (Bordy et al., 2013) were extended to a BOMAB-like phantom. This phantom is more clinically realistic than a water tank, sufficiently to allow the simula...
A 14-year (1990-2003) high resolution European Cloud Climatology has been generated by use of NOAA/AVHRR data. For selected areas we present spatially averaged monthly means of total cloud cover derived from noon overpasses and compare them with surface SYNOP observations. The climatologies do not reveal a significant trend of cloud cover over the ...
Anthropogenic climate change will affect the distribution and urgency of health risks around the world. However, the majority of adverse health impacts of climate change can be avoided by implementing suitable adaptation policies. Planned adaptation to the health impacts of climate change comprises a broad range of public health interventions. Most...
In situ aircraft measurements of NO, NO_y, CO and O_3 performed on board the DLR research aircraft Falcon are used to examine the interhemispheric differences for midlatitudes during local autumn. The observations were part of the INCA-campaign (Interhemispheric differences in cirrus properties due to anthropogenic emissions). Mayor deployment site...

In order to achieve an increase in the overall thermodynamic efficiency of power plants it is necessary to optimize all components and incorporated machines. Here, the steam turbine plays a key role. Especially in the low pressure steam turbine considerable losses arise due to thermodynamic and kinematic relaxation after crossing the saturation lin...
