In vitro investigations with fosfomycin on Mueller-Hinton agar with and without glucose-6-phosphate.

Abstract: Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration of fosfomycin in the agar dilution test on Mueller-Hinton agar showed that the addition of glucose-6-phosphate to the nutrient medium potentiates the action of fosfomycin againstEscherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter andStaphylococcus aureus, sometimes by as much as 256-fold Such a potentiation of action was not detectable withSerratia marcescens, the individualProteus species,Pseudomonas aeruginosa or enterococci Fosfomycin is very effective against most medically important bacterial species on Mueller-Hinton agar containing 25 µg/ml glucose-6-phosphate Over 90% of the cultures ofE coli, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, S marcescens, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus rettgeri, P aeruginosa, S aureus and enterococci examined were inhibited by ≤ 64 µg/ml fosfomycin

Interplay of secondary pre-service teacher content knowledge (CK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and attitudes regarding scientific inquiry teaching within teacher training

Abstract: BackgroundBeginning teachers encounter several constraints with respect to scientific inquiry. Depending on their prior beliefs, knowledge and understanding, these constraints affect their teaching of inquiry.PurposeTo investigate quantitatively the longitudinal relationship between pre-service teachers’ knowledge and attitudes on scientific inquiry teaching as part of a short teacher training.SampleN = 121 pre-service teachers for teaching biology at the secondary level in Germany and Switzerland.Design and methodsWe applied a pre–post-research design. As part of the teachers’ attitudes we measured cognitive beliefs, affective states and self-efficacy. In addition, the teachers completed a test on content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). To examine the relationship between the different measurements, we applied structure equation modelling.ResultsThere was no significant relation between CK and PCK at both time points. The analysis further demonstrates that the PCK acquired...

Supply chain process optimisation via the management of variance

Abstract: This paper presents a new optimisation approach for variance within a supply chain management process. The approach is presented by the variance cube of purchasing (VCP) that involves a lean method...

A framework for the intelligent delivery and user-adequate visualization of process information

Abstract: A continuously increasing amount of data makes it difficult for knowledge-workers to identify the information they need to perform their tasks in the best possible way. Particularly challenging in this context is the alignment of process-related information (e.g., working instructions, best practices) with business processes. In fact, process-related information (process information for short) and business processes are usually handled separately. On one hand, shared drives, databases, and information systems are used to manage process information, on the other, process management technology provides the basis for managing business processes. In practice, enterprises often establish (Intranet) portals to connect both perspectives. However, such portals are not sufficient. Reasons are that process information is usually delivered without considering the current work context and business processes are presented to process participants in a rather static manner. Therefore, enterprises crave for new ways of making process information available. This paper picks up this challenge and presents the niPRO framework. niPRO is based on semantic technology and enables the intelligent delivery and user-adequate visualization of comprehensive process information.

Ökonomisch/ökologische Betrachtung zur Herstellung von Wasserstoff in Großanlagen

Abstract: Wasserstoff spielt in vielen Zukunftsszenarien eine wichtige Rolle. Dabei wird haufig angenommen, dass dieser nicht nur kostengunstig aus regenerativen Quellen gewonnen werden kann, sondern auch dessen Herstellung weitestgehend klimafreundlich sein wird. Es werden verschiedene Herstelltechnologien unter diesen beiden Gesichtspunkten betrachtet.
