The inner layer of CHOROID, also called the lamina basalis choroideae, located adjacent to the RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM; (RPE) of the EYE. It is a membrane composed of the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris ENDOTHELIUM and that of the RPE. The membrane stops at the OPTIC NERVE, as does the RPE.
The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
The layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA; the CILIARY BODY; and the IRIS in the eye.
Incomplete rupture of the zonule with the displaced lens remaining behind the pupil. In dislocation, or complete rupture, the lens is displaced forward into the anterior chamber or backward into the vitreous body. When congenital, this condition is known as ECTOPIA LENTIS.
The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent.
Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence). (Dorland, 27th ed)
The thin noncellular outer covering of the CRYSTALLINE LENS composed mainly of COLLAGEN TYPE IV and GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS. It is secreted by the embryonic anterior and posterior epithelium. The embryonic posterior epithelium later disappears.

Repopulation of different layers of host human Bruch's membrane by retinal pigment epithelial cell grafts. (1/198)

PURPOSE: To determine the morphology of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) after reattachment to different ultrastructural layers of human Bruch's membrane (BM). METHODS: Bruch's membrane explants were prepared from eyes of 23 human donors (age range, 11-89 years). The basal lamina of the RPE, inner collagenous layer, and elastin layer were removed sequentially by mechanical and enzymatic techniques. First-passage cells of human RPE (15,000 cells/6 mm explant) from three donors (ages, 52, 64, and 80 years) were plated onto different layers of human BM, and the explants were examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy up to 21 days later. RESULTS: RPE flattened and extended footplates 6 hours after plating onto basal lamina. Cells remained round 6 and 24 hours after plating onto the inner collagenous, elastin, or outer collagenous layer. The RPE cells became confluent 14 days after plating onto basal lamina but did not become confluent up to 21 days after plating onto the inner collagenous or elastin layer. Sparse round cells were observed 21 days after plating onto deeper layers, suggesting extensive loss of RPE. CONCLUSIONS: The morphology and subsequent behavior of the RPE reattached to BM depends on the anatomic layer of BM available for cell reattachment. The results suggest that the ability of transplanted RPE to repopulate BM in age-related macular degeneration and other disorders may depend on the layer of BM available to serve as a substrate for cell reattachment.  (+info)

Increase in the advanced glycation end product pentosidine in Bruch's membrane with age. (2/198)

PURPOSE: To determine whether there is an age-related increase of pentosidine in human Bruch's membranes and to localize pentosidine and carboxymethyllysine (CML), two well-characterized, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in aged human Bruch's membranes and choroid in vivo. METHODS: Human Bruch's membrane samples were isolated from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid and subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to determine pentosidine content. A polyclonal anti-pentosidine antibody and a monoclonal antibody specific for carboxymethyllysine were used to localize AGEs in 20-month-old nondiabetic, 82-year-old nondiabetic, and 82-year-old diabetic globes. RESULTS: Human Bruch's membranes (n = 20) showed a linear age-dependent increase in pentosidine that reached approximately 0.17 millimoles pentosidine per mole hydroxyproline in late life (r = 0.896; P < 0.001). Immunohistochemical evaluation showed evidence of pentosidine in Bruch's membrane, choroidal extracellular matrix, and vessel walls in the 82-year-old nondiabetic and diabetic globes. A similar staining pattern was found with the anti-CML antibody. Basal laminar deposits and drusen stained with both antibodies in the elderly nondiabetic eye. In contrast, neither antibody stained the 20-month-old tissue. CONCLUSIONS: We provide biochemical and immunohistochemical evidence for the formation of pentosidine and CML structures in human Bruch's membrane and choroid with age. These changes could promote aging of the RPE-Bruch's membrane-choroid complex.  (+info)

Early drusen formation in the normal and aging eye and their relation to age related maculopathy: a clinicopathological study. (3/198)

AIM: To describe the early formation of drusen and their relation to normal aging changes at the macula and to the development of age related maculopathy (ARM). METHOD: Histopathological features of 353 eyes without histological evidence of ARM are described and correlated with the clinical appearance. In addition, 45 of these eyes were examined by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS: Drusen were detected histopathologically in 177 (50%) eyes but were seen clinically in only 34% of these. Drusen were mainly small hard drusen with an occasional soft distinct drusen: no soft indistinct drusen were seen. Only those drusen deposits larger than 25-30 microns in diameter were detectable clinically. Preclinical drusen in eyes with only an occasional drusen were seen on electron microscopy as entrapment sites of coated membrane bound bodies which formed adjacent to the inner collagenous zone of Bruch's membrane. In contrast, preclinical drusen deposits in eyes with many drusen were seen as accumulations of amorphous material which appeared hyalinised by light microscopy. A distinct feature were rows of dense hyalinised microdrusen (1-2 microns in diameter), over which larger globular hyalinised drusen formed. CONCLUSION: Histological and ultrastructural examination can recognise and distinguish the earliest drusen formed as a result of normal aging from those associated with ARM. In eyes without diffuse deposits, histologically all drusen were of the hard hyalinised variety or their derivatives; no soft drusen composed of membranous debris were found. These findings support and explain those of other authors who do not consider the presence of a few small hard drusen to be a risk factor for the development of ARM.  (+info)

Development of a polyclonal antibody with broad epitope specificity for advanced glycation endproducts and localization of these epitopes in Bruch's membrane of the aging eye. (4/198)

PURPOSE: To develop an antibody that recognizes a variety of advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) epitopes. METHODS: Glycolaldehyde was used to modify bovine serum albumin and HPLC analysis was used to measure pentosidine formation as an indicator of AGE formation. A polyclonal anti-AGE antibody was synthesized by injecting glycolaldehyde-incubated keyhole limpet hemocyanin into rabbits, affinity purified using AGE modified bovine serum albumin coupled to an affinity resin column, and characterized by immunoblot analysis. RESULTS: HPLC analysis of glycolaldehyde treated bovine serum albumin detected high levels of pentosidine formation, suggesting that glycolaldehyde is a potent precursor for pentosidine. By immunoblot analysis, our antibody recognized carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine, two well-characterized AGEs, as well as other AGE epitopes. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed evidence of AGEs in Bruch's membrane (including basal laminar deposits and drusen), choroidal extracellular matrix, and vessel walls in an 82 year old nondiabetic globe. A similar staining pattern was observed in an age-matched diabetic control. In contrast, no staining was seen with the antibody in a 20 month old nondiabetic globe. CONCLUSIONS: A unique anti-AGE antibody was synthesized that recognizes a variety of AGE epitopes including carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine. Its best use might be in broad surveys of the age-dependent accumulation of a large number of AGE epitopes that might not be revealed by antibodies to pentosidine or CML.  (+info)

TIMP-3 in Bruch's membrane: changes during aging and in age-related macular degeneration. (5/198)

PURPOSE: To assess the distribution, content, and function of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-3 during aging in normal eyes for comparison with the levels observed in eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Donor tissues analyzed included 36 normal eyes (14-96 years old) and 15 AMD eyes (74 -98 years old). A tissue strip including the fovea was used for immunohistochemistry. Western blot analysis was performed on extracts of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)- choroid complex from the posterior part of each eye. Immunoreactivity of TIMP-3 bands in each western blot was densitometrically quantitated. The inhibitory function of TIMP-3 was evaluated with reverse zymography. RESULTS: TIMP-3 was present uniformly across Bruch's membrane in the normal samples. In samples from donors more than 50 years of age, immunostaining was intense. TIMP-3 content ranged from 92 to 1061 ng/cm2 and increased with age (r = 0.66). In AMD eyes, TIMP-3 distribution in Bruch's membrane was abundant in areas of continuous soft drusen but absent in areas below RPE atrophy. TIMP-3 levels in AMD eyes were significantly higher than in age-matched normal eyes (577 versus 877 ng/cm2; P = 0.009). Inhibitory activity correlated well with TIMP-3 content (r = 0.82) and was also significantly higher in AMD eyes than in age-matched normal eyes (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: During normal aging, TIMP-3 content in Bruch's membrane of the macula shows a significant increase. TIMP-3 content in AMD eyes was elevated relative to that of age-matched normal eyes. Higher levels of TIMP-3 may contribute to the thickening of Bruch's membrane observed in AMD.  (+info)

Age-dependent variation in metalloproteinase activity of isolated human Bruch's membrane and choroid. (6/198)

PURPOSE: To characterize and determine the effect of aging on the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) component of the extracellular matrix-remodeling mechanism of isolated human Bruch's-choroid. METHODS: Immunohistochemical techniques and western blot analysis were used to detect and localize various members of the MMP family of proteolytic enzymes in the Bruch's-choroid complex. Gelatin substrate zymography was used to detect and quantify the levels of MMP-2 and -9 in homogenates of Bruch's-choroid from both macular and peripheral regions of the human fundus. Aging alterations in these enzymes were quantified by densitometric analysis of photographic negatives of the zymography gels. RESULTS: Intact preparations of Bruch's-choroid showed the presence of inactive forms of two gelatinases (MMP-2, 65 kDa, and MMP-9, 92 kDa), interstitial collagenase (MMP-1, 52 kDa) and stromelysin (MMP-3, 57 kDa). MMP-1 and -3 were localized primarily to Bruch's membrane. MMP-9 was distributed evenly in Bruch's membrane with some patchy presence in the choroidal mass. Distribution of MMP-2 was similar to that of MMP-9, but the staining in Bruch's was much fainter. On gelatin zymography, an active form of MMP-2 (58-kDa species) was frequently observed in peripheral samples but only occasionally in macular regions. The levels of MMP-2 and -9 increased with aging in both the macular and the peripheral regions of the fundus (P < 0.05). MMP-2 levels were lower in macular regions than in the periphery but no such variation was observed with MMP-9. Both these inactive gelatinases could be activated in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: A matrix-degrading mechanism essential for extracellular remodeling was shown to be present in Bruch's membrane. In macular regions, increasing levels of inactive forms of metalloproteinase and scarcity of active forms of MMP-2 suggests possible involvement of impaired extracellular degradation in both aging and macular degeneration.  (+info)

Ultrastructural changes in Bruch's membrane of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. (7/198)

PURPOSE: To examine the histologic and ultrastructural changes in Bruch's membrane (BM) in apolipoprotein E deficient [ApoE(-)] mice in comparison with age-matched control animals. METHODS: Two-month-old (group 1) and 8-month-old (group 2) normal control C57BL/6 mice and 2-month-old (group 3) and 8-month-old (group 4) ApoE(-) mice were studied. All groups of mice were fed a standard rodent diet. The mice were killed, serum lipid levels were determined, and the eyes were ultrastructurally examined using standard techniques to measure the thickness of BM. The area fraction of electron-lucent (EL) particles in BM was quantified using point-counting stereology. RESULTS: The serum cholesterol levels of the ApoE(-) mice were significantly higher than those of the control mice (P = 0.0001). There was a significant thickening and EL particle accumulation in BM associated with age in the control animals. Group 2 had a thicker BM and more EL particle accumulation than group 1 (P = 0.0410 for thickness; P = 0.0042 for particle accumulation). Age-related changes were not seen in ApoE(-) mice; thickness and accumulation were similar in groups 3 and 4 (P = 0.50, thickness; P approximately/= 1.0, accumulation). Significant thickening and accumulation were seen in young ApoE(-) mice (group 3) versus young control animals (group 1; P = 0.008, thickening; P < 0.0001, EL particle accumulation). Group 4 ApoE(-) mice did not have a thicker BM or more EL particles than group 2 control animals (P = 0.2910, thickness; P = 0.35, EL particle accumulation). "Membrane-bounded" material (material between two membranes) was present significantly more frequently in ApoE(-) mice. CONCLUSIONS: ApoE(-) mice exhibit accumulation of EL particles at an earlier age and have more membrane-bounded material in BM than control mice. This material has ultrastructural similarities to basal linear deposit, which accumulates in age-related maculopathy.  (+info)

Age-related retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch's membrane degeneration in senescence-accelerated mouse. (8/198)

PURPOSE: To investigate age-related changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris in the senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM). METHODS: The external and eyecup features and light and electron microscopic findings were examined in three male and two female mice of a senescence-prone mouse strain (SAM P(8)) monthly for 12 months. These results were compared with those in age-matched mice of similar background but senescence resistant (SAM R(1)). Choroidal vascular casts were prepared at 12 months in seven mice each of the SAM P(8) and SAM R(1) strains. Quantitative analysis of area of choriocapillaris was performed by automated image analysis, and the results were analyzed by paired Student's t-test. RESULTS: We found in the SAM P(8) strain that hair loss, coarseness of hair texture, and ulceration of skin appeared and increased as the age advanced (at approximately 5-9 months). Eyecup examination showed no differences. Light and electron microscopy revealed progressively more prominent abnormalities in the RPE and Bruch's membrane mice older than 10 months. Two of the five SAM P(8) mice older than 11 months showed what appeared to be intra-Bruch's membrane choroidal neovascularization. The RPE and Bruch's membrane appeared normal in the SAM R(1) strain. In the SAM P(8), vascular casts of the choriocapillaris showed a mild but significant decrease in vascular area when compared with the SAM R(1) strain at 12 months (P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS: Senescence accelerated mice develop progressive age-related changes in the RPE-Bruch's-choriocapillaris complex that have features that may be relevant in the study of age-related macular changes in humans.  (+info)

The purpose of this study is to assess in vivo whether diagnostic lumbar puncture (LP) is followed by optic nerve head (ONH) and parapapillary anatomic changes in normal human eyes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective, single-center, observational case series. ONH structures (prelaminar tissue surface, anterior surface of the lamina cribrosa, central retinal vessels) and parapapillary structures (internal limiting membrane, posterior surfaces of retinal nerve fiber layer and Bruch membrane/retinal pigment epithelium complex, Bruch membrane opening, posterior surface of the choroid) were quantitatively evaluated by means of swept-source optical coherence tomography (Triton Ver.10.05, Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) before and after LP (5, 60, and 360 min). Each of these structures was manually delineated for measurement before being superimposed to detect any displacement, using peripheral margins of parapapillary structures as a reference plane. RESULTS: A total of 16 eyes of 8 nonglaucomatous patients
The average age of subjects was 30.2 ± 9.3 years for G0 and 29.9 ± 7.1 years for G1 (p = 0.903). Mean sphere was -0.5 ± 0.3 D (-1.25 to 0 D) G0 and -3.9 ± 0.3 D (-6.00 to -3 D) G1 (p,0.001). The RNFL thickness comparison between G0 and G1 showed a significantly lower thickness in G1 (p = 0.018). The BMO-MRW measurements were similar in both groups (p = 0.331). With the BMO-MRW examination, the number of sectors classified as pathologic per subject in G1 were significantly lower compared to RNFL analysis (p = 0.023).. ...

PURPOSE: To correlate postmortem histology with previously recorded multimodal imaging from a patient with type 1 neovascularization (NV) associated with an acquired vitelliform lesion in the setting of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN: Case study. METHODS: Multimodal imaging that was obtained antemortem was matched with ex vivo and high-resolution histologic images of the preserved donor macula. Anatomic correlates for multimodal imaging findings were then defined. RESULTS: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed a split in the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch membrane band. Type 1 NV in this case was composed of 6 layered components: (1) retinal pigment epithelium, (2) basal laminar deposits, (3) fibrovascular membrane, (4) fibrocellular scar, (5) hemorrhage, and (6) Bruch membrane. The anatomic correlates for the hyporeflective band on spectral-domain OCT included a thick basal laminar deposit. Not all structures could be readily separated on the basis of their
Abstract: : Purpose: To determine if EC in normal, aged BrM derives from directly infused plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or from local cells with acyl co-A cholesterol acyl transferase (ACAT)-1 or -2. EC in LDL and EC in cells with ACAT is enriched in cholesteryl linoleate (Ch-18:2) and cholesteryl oleate (Ch-18:1), respectively. Methods: Ch-18:1 and Ch-18:2 were assayed by mass spectrometry in macular BrM, cornea, and sclera (10 donor eyes, greater than 60 yr), cholesterol-enriched human monocyte-macrophages, and LDL. Ch-16:0 (palmitate), Ch-18:0 (stearate), Ch-18:1, Ch-18:2, Ch-20:4 (arachidonate) and the corresponding free fatty acids (FFA) were assayed in macular BrM and RPE (n=6). Lipids were extracted with chloroform and methanol and separated by reversed phase HPLC using an isopropanol gradient in 10 mM ammonium acetate. Ion mass spectra (positive for ammonium ion adducts of cholesteryl esters and negative for FFA) were compared to standards. Protein extracts from human retinal ...

During the lifetime of an internal combustion engine, deposits are formed at various locations. In diesel engines, deposits in the combustion chamber and at the injection nozzles lead to an increase in the emissions, especially the particulate emissions, and the exhaust gas odor. Additionally, durability problems can also arise. Deposits in the combustion chamber of SI engines can increase the octane requirement, deposits at intake valves can reduce engine efficiency and driveability and increase emissions. A detailed theory on the mechanism of deposit formation, considering the physical effects, is presented. This theory contains a deposit transport mechanism, a mechanism of deposit attachment including an induction phase, a deposit growth phase and a deposit removal mechanism. This complex theory is based on fundamental investigations at different locations in and around internal combustion engines. From these investigations, the effects of surface temperature, gas temperature, turbulent gas ...

Im August 1981 führte IBM den Personalcomputer 5150 ein. Er war eigentlich nicht der erste Personalcomputer, aber er erwies sich als der Personalcomputer schlechthin und revolutionierte nicht nur das Geschäftsleben, sondern auch die Art und Weise, wie die Menschen über die Welt dachten. Der PC des Jahres 1981 stellte einen Bruch gegenüber dem bisherigen Geschäftsmodell von IBM dar, wonach das Unternehmen Computer nicht verkaufte, sondern verleaste. Mit dem 5150 stieg IBM in die Massenproduktion eines standardisierten Gebrauchsgutes ein, bei dem von anderen Unternehmen gefertigte Komponenten zum Einsatz kamen. „Big Blue (wie IBM auch genannt wird) erlaubte es anderen Gesellschaften (namentlich der noch in den Kinderschuhen steckenden Firma Microsoft), seine Software zu entwickeln. Keine gute Tat bleibt unbestraft: Indem es den PC herausbrachte, zerstörte IBM sich als Unternehmen praktisch selbst.

When structural forms are of weak morphological intensity (5-10m), there exist two difficulities in indentification and outlining of hydrocarbon deposits: complexity in mapping of tectonic elements and a significant effect of lithological and tectonic factors on a possibility of the deposit formation. Complex analysis of geological and geophysical data was performed in the surveyed area for the outlining of oil deposits. The work resulted in identification of Devorian graben-shape troughs (linear structures of tectonic origin weakly defined in the modern structural plan) probably are the shielding elements. seismic record analysis in the pay formation interval bedding enabled to forecast a change in the section, lateral distribution of deposits with improved porosity and permeability propeties.

Choroidal neovascularization describes the growth of new blood vessels that originate from the choroid through a break in the Bruch membrane into the sub-retinal pigment epithelium (sub-RPE) or subretinal space. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a major cause of visual loss.
Transplanted retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells hold promise for treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Stargardt disease (SD), but it is conceivable that the degenerated host Bruchs membrane (BM) as a natural substrate for RPE might not optimally support transplanted cell survival with correct cellular organization. We fabricated novel ultrathin three-dimensional (3-D) nanofibrous membranes from collagen type I and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) by an advanced clinical-grade needle-free electrospinning process. The nanofibrillar 3-D networks closely mimicked the fibrillar architecture of the native inner collagenous layer of human BM. Human RPE cells grown on our nanofibrous membranes bore a striking resemblance to native human RPE. They exhibited a correctly orientated monolayer with a polygonal cell shape and abundant sheet-like microvilli on their apical surfaces. RPE cells built tight junctions and expressed RPE65 protein. Flat 2-D PLGA film and cover glass as ...
Choroidal ruptures are breaks in the choroid, the Bruch membrane, and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that result from blunt ocular trauma (the most common eye injury). Choroidal rupture can be secondary to indirect or direct trauma.
Skin lesions appear during the second decade of life, with a progressive increase in number and severity during adolescence. The disease is clinically heterogeneous, being limited to only one organ in some patients but affecting all three organs in others. The skin lesions consist of yellow papules that may merge to form plaques. They appear mainly in the flexural areas of the neck and elbows, popliteal spaces and umbilical region, and are accompanied by loosening of the skin around the inguinal folds and armpits. Ophthalmological findings include retinal pigment epithelium anomalies, drusen, angioid streaks (fissuring of the Bruch membrane of the retina), and neovascularization and bleeding leading to retinal hemorrhage and, in many patients, loss of visual acuity. Involvement of the macula may lead to patients being declared as legally blind. Cardiovascular manifestations lead to intermittent claudication of the lower and/or upper limbs due to arteriosclerosis of medium-sized arteries with ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in patients ,50 years old. The hallmark of the disease is represented by the accumulation of extracellular material between retinal pigment epithelium and the inner collagenous layer of Bruchs membrane, called drusen. Although identified almost 30 years ago, reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) have been recently recognized as a distinctive phenotype. Unlike drusen, they are located in the subretinal space. RPD are strongly associated with late AMD, especially geographic atrophy, type 2 and 3 choroidal neovascularization, which, in turn, are less common in typical AMD ...
In this paper, we have sought to address a number of the questions outlined above, to review current information pertaining to drusen classification, and to present new data related to drusen structure, composition, pathobiology, and association with AMD.. Natural History of Drusen. Drusen are extracellular deposits that accumulate between the basal lamina of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and the inner collagenous layer of Bruchs membrane in the human eye. They are typically associated with advancing age and are commonly observed in a variety of chorioretinal pathologies, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of irreversible blindness in many countries. Although the presence of large, soft, and/or numerous macular drusen has been shown to be a significant risk factor for the development of AMD, precise information about their origin and composition is lacking.. Drusen were named after the German word for node or geode, and were first described by F.C. ...

The apparatus includes an elastic layer for supporting a person. A plurality of rows of expandable and retractable tubes are embedded in the elastic layer. A source of compressed air and a control system are provided for sequentially injecting and releasing air into and from a first set of alternate tubes and then into and from a second set of alternate tubes for imparting continuous motion to the elastic layer.
A method for manufacturing a sensing device, such as a bolometer device or other devices. The method includes providing a substrate, e.g., silicon wafer. The method includes forming a first reflection layer overlying the substrate and forming a first electrode layer overlying the substrate. The method includes forming a sacrificial layer overlying a portion of the first reflection layer and a portion of the first electrode layer. The sacrificial layer is patterned using photolithography techniques. The patterned sacrificial layer corresponds to a cavity region. The method also forms a second electrode layer overlying the sacrificial layer and forms an elastic layer overlying the patterned sacrificial layer. The elastic layer encloses the cavity region corresponding to the patterned sacrificial layer. The method releases the sacrificial layer to form an opening in the cavity region.

When writing software, developers frequently find themselves in a situation where they are absolutely certain that someone else must have faced (and solved!) the same problem before, but they just cannot find that piece of code. This is where the proposed code search feature can help: Based on the context the developer currently is in (e.g., the current method and the available objects), code search will search through the entire workspace and present pieces of code that match the current context. For this proposal to work well, the search engine must be (1) fast and (2) present its results in a condensed snippet form, so that the developer can quickly decide which results are worth a closer look. A prototype of a code search engine has already been developed as a Masters thesis at Technische Universität Darmstadt. This project could either build upon that prototype or, taking into account the lessons learned there, start from scratch. Possible Mentors: Marcel Bruch, Andreas Sewe (contact us ...
Posted by Fossil on October 20, 2004 at 06:29:06:. We are currently operating a B&W El Paso style RB boiler fired on number 6 fuel oil as a peaking unit. The water chemistry on the unit is ok, but as you can imagine is cyclic due to the boiler cycling. We have had a continuous problem of hydrogen damage in the lower hopper slope, in which we have completed in kind replacements (SA-210 A1). The angle of the lower slope is very low, which is susceptible to deposit formation. Has any tried upgrading material to T-11 (or similar) to help prolong the life of their water wall tubing due to hydrogen damage? EPRI lists this to help minimize hydrgoen damage ...
The transitory aspect of landscapes is emphasized throughout the series by the use of alternative photographic processes and expired photographic paper. Images printed on aged paper are characterised by faded areas, spots, and unpredicted colourations. prints are often affected by light, even after processing, resulting in images with low contrasts that might degrade and change appearance over time. the title of the project refers to the fluidity of the natural environment and to the water, chemicals and elements affecting geographical formations. this is reflected in the working process, as many images in this series are printed on etching paper, that has been previously coated with liquid photographic emulsion ...
