A Distributed O(1)-Approximation Algorithm for the Uniform Facility Location Problem

We investigate a metric facility location problem in a distributed setting. In this problem, we assume that each point is a client as well as a potential location for a facility and that the opening costs for the facilities and the demands of the clients are uniform. The goal is to open a subset of the input points as facilities such that the accumulated cost for the whole point set, consisting of the opening costs for the facilities and the connection costs for the clients, is minimized. We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes in expectation an ${\mathcal {O}}(1)$ -approximate solution to the metric facility location problem described above. Our algorithm works in a synchronous message passing model, where each point is an autonomous computational entity that has its own local memory and that communicates with the other entities by message passing. We assume that each entity knows the distance to all the other entities, but does not know any of the other pairwise distances. Our algorithm uses three rounds of all-to-all communication with message sizes bounded to $\mathcal{O}(\log(n))$ bits, where n is the number of input points. We extend our distributed algorithm to constant powers of metric spaces. For a metric exponent ?≥1, we obtain a randomized ${\mathcal {O}}(1)$ -approximation algorithm that uses three rounds of all-to-all communication with message sizes bounded to $\mathcal{O}(\log(n))$ bits.     

Leckageraten von Dichtungen für Flanschverbindungen: Einflußgrößen,Anforderungen, meßtechnische Erfassung und leckageratenbezogene Dichtungskennwerte

Flow theories can help in determining the fundamental interrelationships between the leak rate of gaskets for flange connections and the relevant influencing parameters. The basic rule for the transfer of results obtained for special boundary conditions to other conditions can be derived. In this way the effort involved in gasket testing can be reduced. This paper gives the interrelations between the leak rate of gaskets on the one hand and the internal pressure, the temperature, the medium, and the gasket thickness on the other and discusses them with aid of measured results. The effect of the gasket stress and thickness can be determined only of experimental investigations. Furthermore, the requirements placed on gaskets, the leak rate related gasket characteristics defined in various standards and the measuring techniques for their determination are discussed.     

A NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE FLOW AROUND A SPHERE IN A CIRCULAR CYLINDER

A numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is presented for Poiseuille flow around an axially placed, fixed sphere in a circular cylinder. Streamlines and isovorticity lines are calculated from the governing equations for the strearnfunction and the vorticity. Isobars are calculated from a Poisson equation, derived from the Navier-Stokes equations. The pressure and vorticity distribution on the surface of the sphere, the additional pressure drop and the drag coefficients are presented. Solutions are obtained for Reynolds numbers up to 150 (based on cylinder diameter and mean velocity). The wall effects are examined by comparison with results of previous investigations for an unbounded flow around a sphere.

Wiederaufarbeitung von Kernbrennstoffen

Reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels . The present waste disposal concept for nuclear power plant requires the rapid construction of a reprocessing plant in the Federal Republic of Germany, with the location still being uncertain (Bavaria or Lower Saxony). The task of such a plant will consist in recovering usable nuclear fuels and processing them to new fuel elements. Waste materials are prepared for final disposal. The components of the plant are presented with their design data, associated development plans are discussed, and changes with respect to former plans, in particular the maintenance concept, are outlined. The article also reports the present status of the licensing procedure and current planning.     

Chemical inhibitors when timing is critical: a pharmacological concept for the maturation of T cell contacts

Cellular signal transduction proceeds through a complex network of molecular interactions and enzymatic activities. The timing of these molecular events is critical for the propagation of a signal and the generation of a specific cellular response. To define the timing of signalling events, we introduce the combination of high-resolution confocal microscopy with the application of small-molecule inhibitors at various stages of signal transduction in T cells. Inhibitors of Src-family tyrosine kinases and actin dynamics were employed to dissect the role of the lymphocyte-specific tyrosine kinase Lck in the formation and maintenance of T cell receptor/CD3-dependent contacts. Anti-CD3epsilon-coated coverslips served as a highly defined stimulus. The kinetics of the recruitment of the yellow fluorescent protein-tagged signalling protein ZAP-70 were detected by high-resolution confocal microscopy. The analysis revealed that at 5 min after receptor engagement, Lck activity was required for maintenance of contacts. In contrast, after 20 min of receptor engagement, the contacts were Lck-independent. The relevance of the timing of inhibitor application provides a pharmacological concept for the maturation of T cell-substrate contacts.
