Infektionen an Zahnimplantaten vermeiden
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2015/11/2 17:30)
|
Eine Million Zahnimplantate werden jedes Jahr in Deutschland eingesetzt. Oft muss der Zahnersatz ausgewechselt werden, etwa wenn sich das Gewebe infiziert. Verursacher der Entzündungen sind Bakterien. Eine neue Plasma-Implantatbeschichtung, die mit Silberionen Erreger abtötet, soll Infektionen künftig verhindern.

In großen Gebäuden kann man die Orientierung verlieren. Fraunhofer-Forscher haben eine Android-App entwickelt, die durch Gänge, Flure, Räume und Etagen zum gewünschten Ziel navigiert. Zur Ortung nutzen sie WLAN. Die Technologie lässt sich individuell anpassen und in andere Anwendungen integrieren.

Chirurgen haben im OP alle Hände voll zu tun: Unter anderem müssen Klammern gesetzt und Werkzeuge gehalten werden. Bislang sind Assistenzärzte für diese Aufgaben zuständig. Künftig könnte eine metallene Hand, die sich durch Gesten und Sprache steuern lässt, dieÄrzte entlasten.

Wer Strom aus der eigenen Photovoltaik-Anlage verbraucht, kann seinen Alltag künftig noch nachhaltiger gestalten. Auch private Elektroautos lassen sich mit PV-Strom günstig laden. Ein Heim-Energie-Management-System von Fraunhofer-Forschern bindet das Fahrzeug in die heimische Energieversorgung ein und erstellt den Ladefahrplan.

It’s Bike to Work Week in Metro Vancouver this week, and Vancouver Coastal Health has interviewed MECH professor Dr. Peter Cripton on the importance of bicycle helmets. If you’re wondering whether or not to sport a helmet when you bike to work this week, make sure to check out what Dr. Cripton has to say about the effectiveness of helmets, the likelihood of sustaining a cycling injury, and even what to do about helmet hair!

November 12, 2015?MECH Seminar?The Structure of Aerosol Nanoparticles
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2015/10/21 4:07)

Title: The Structure of Aerosol Nanoparticles
Speaker: Dr. Steve Rogak, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, UBC
Date: Thursday, November 12, 2015
Time: 12:30 – 2:00pm
Location: Kaiser 2020
Abstract:
Research on aerosols (liquid or solid particles suspended in a gas) is critical to humanity; just a few examples:
Combustion emissions dominate the health impacts of all air pollution worldwide.
Aerosols have a large but highly uncertain effect on global climate.
Influenza, tuberculosis and diseases undiscovered can be transmitted via aerosols.
Some of the most promising new nanomaterials are synthesize by aerosol routes.
Aerosols range in diameter from less than 10 nm to over 10 microns; composition and shape vary with size and the formation process. This variation affects physical processes including those used for measurement. In this seminar I will provide a primer on aerosols before surveying some of my applied research on aerosol ...

October Alumnus Spotlight: Robert Cohen,?61
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/10/13 9:30)
|
TDPS Alumnus Robert Cohen (?61), the founding chair of Drama at the University of California, Irvine, has had a long career in theater ? as an educator, director, actor, theorist, playwright, critic, and author of a dozen-plus books on acting, auditioning and theater. However, before he arrived at UC Berkeley, Robert seemed destined for another path. Despite a love of theater throughout his youth, he chose to attend college at Dartmouth and had decided to become a lawyer, like his father. A random road trip in his junior year led him to Berkeley ? where he stayed.
Below, in select segments from his 2014 memoir, Falling into Theatre…and finding myself, Robert recounts his first impressions of Berkeley, the Department of Dramatic Art (as TDPS was known then), and how one fateful night catapulted him into a lifelong career in the theater.
?Berkeley was heaven. I had left the elite, preppy, snow-bound, all-male, frat-rat Dartmouth for a warm, urban, coeducational, multina ...

Scenic design for RHINOCEROS (TDPS, 2014) by Annie Smart.
Annie Smart is a professional scenic and costume designer and has been a Continuing Lecturer in UC Berkeley?s Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies since 2004. Born and raised in England, she is now based in the Bay Area. Her scenic design can be seen in TDPS?s upcoming production of THE CHERRY ORCHARD.
Tell me about what you do.
I am a set and costume designer based in the Bay Area. Traditionally, American theaters employ separate set and costume designers for a production, whereas the UK more traditionally employs a single designer to do both. I very occasionally get to do both these days.
I tend to be interested in new plays because there?s nothing like designing a new play that no one has ever seen before. There is a zeitgeist that exists around any show ? not just the writer?s story, but also a hidden history within the play, almost like the ghost in the walls. Have you ever heard of morph ...
