ONE NIGHT IN PARIS entstand am 9. und 10. Oktober 2001 im Palais Omnisport, Paris. Zwar wird nur der 10. Oktober als Aufnahmedatum angegeben, der Song It Doesn’t Matter Two, der im Film zu sehen ist, wurde jedoch nur am 9. Oktober gespielt und zeigt somit, dass Material von beiden Auftritten verwendet wurde. An den fast zweistündigen Konzertmitschnitt schließt sich umfangreiches Zusatzmaterial an, unter anderem Interviews und Hintergrundinformationen über die Vorbereitung und Umsetzung der Tour.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) panels in combination with batteries are often proposed as a solution to provide stable power supply in rural areas. PV generation is mostly dominated by the solar diurnal cycle and has, in some countries, already started to have influence on the daily price distribution on the electricity market.
In this work, we study the performance and optimisation of rural PV-battery hybrid systems in a future renewable Polish power system. We use data on generation potentials to study PV and battery deployment. Together with a power system optimisation and dispatch model for the Polish power system, we study market values when selling at the national market for different CO2 price scenarios. We show that optimal orientations with respect to tilt/azimuth are subject to change as the PV share grows and that the benefit from batteries grows for higher shares of renewables.
In this study, we investigate the wealth decumulation decision from the perspective of a retiree who is averse to the prospect of fully annuitizing her accumulated savings. We field a large online survey of hypothetical product choices for phased drawdown offerings and annuities. While the demand for annuities remains low in our sample, we find significant demand for phased withdrawal products with equity-based asset allocations and flexible payout structures. Consistent with the product choice, the most important self-reported considerations for the wealth decumulation decision are low default risk in the products they purchase, the size of the withdrawal rates, and flexibility in the timing of their withdrawal. As determinants of the decision of how much wealth individuals are willing to draw down, we identify consumers’ attitudes towards future economic conditions, the extent to which they are protected against longevity risk, and their desire to leave bequests. Policy implications are discussed.

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) expressed in cancer cells influences cancer pathogenesis but the role of MGL in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is less known. Using a syngeneic tumor model with KP cells (KrasLSL-G12D/p53fl/fl; from mouse lung adenocarcinoma), we investigated whether TME-expressed MGL plays a role in tumor growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In sections of human and experimental NSCLC, MGL was found in tumor cells and various cells of the TME including macrophages and stromal cells. Mice treated with the MGL inhibitor JZL184 as well as MGL knock-out (KO) mice exhibited a lower tumor burden than the controls. The reduction in tumor growth was accompanied by an increased number of CD8+ T cells and eosinophils. Naïve CD8+ T cells showed a shift toward more effector cells in MGL KOs and an increased expression of granzyme-B and interferon-γ, indicative of enhanced tumoricidal activity. 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) was increased in tumors of MGL KO mice, and dose-dependently induced differentiation and migration of CD8+ T cells as well as migration and activation of eosinophils in vitro.
Our results suggest that next to cancer cell-derived MGL, TME cells expressing MGL are responsible for maintaining a pro-tumorigenic environment in tumors of NSCLC.
Hintergrund: Eine adäquate Anpassung der Glukokortikoidsubstitution an unterschiedliche Situationen ist essenziell für Leistungsfähigkeit und Lebensqualität von Patienten mit Nebennierenrindeninsuffizienz (NNRI). Sie dient darüber hinaus der Vermeidung lebensbedrohlicher adrenaler Krisen.
Ziel der Arbeit: Verbesserung der Versorgung von Patienten mit Nebennierenrindeninsuffizienz.
Material und Methoden: Selektive Literaturrecherche unter besonderer Berücksichtigung neuerer Studien.
Ergebnisse: Eine optimale Glukokortikoidsubstitution hat das Ziel, die physiologischen Kortisolschwankungen möglichst genau nachzuahmen. Hier haben in den letzten Jahren Präparate mit veränderter Pharmakokinetik das Therapiespektrum erweitert. Im Vordergrund stehen eine adäquate Anpassung der Substitution in Stresssituationen sowie die Vermeidung und adäquate Behandlung adrenaler Krisen, die mit einer Inzidenz von 4,8 bis 8,3 Krisen pro 100 Patientenjahre auftreten und mit einer Mortalität von etwa 0,5 pro 100 Patientenjahre weiterhin eine tödliche Bedrohung darstellen.
Schlussfolgerung: Zur Verhinderung lebensbedrohlicher Nebennierenkrisen ist eine Schulung von Patienten, Angehörigen und insbesondere auch medizinischem Personal notwendig.
Rhythmic neural spiking and attentional sampling arising from cortical receptive field interactions
(2018)
Summary: Growing evidence suggests that distributed spatial attention may invoke theta (3-9 Hz) rhythmic sampling processes. The neuronal basis of such attentional sampling is however not fully understood. Here we show using array recordings in visual cortical area V4 of two awake macaques that presenting separate visual stimuli to the excitatory center and suppressive surround of neuronal receptive fields elicits rhythmic multi-unit activity (MUA) at 3-6 Hz. This neuronal rhythm did not depend on small fixational eye movements. In the context of a distributed spatial attention task, during which the monkeys detected a spatially and temporally uncertain target, reaction times (RT) exhibited similar rhythmic fluctuations. RTs were fast or slow depending on the target occurrence during high or low MUA, resulting in rhythmic MUA-RT cross-correlations at at theta frequencies. These findings suggest that theta-rhythmic neuronal activity arises from competitive receptive field interactions and that this rhythm may subserve attentional sampling.
Highlights:
* Center-surround interactions induce theta-rhythmic MUA of visual cortex neurons
* The MUA rhythm does not depend on small fixational eye movements
* Reaction time fluctuations lock to the neuronal rhythm under distributed attention

These findings show that theta rhythmic neuronal activity can arise from competitive RF interactions and that this rhythm may result in rhythmic RTs potentially subserving attentional sampling.
