However, a recent reconstruction of spring-summer temperatures for WE resulted in the likelihood of significantly higher temperatures in 1540. In order to check the plausibility of this result we investigated the severity of the 1540 drought by putting forward the argument of the known soil desiccation-temperature feedback. Based on more than 300 first-hand documentary weather report sources originating from an area of 2 to 3 million km2, we show that Europe was affected by an unprecedented 11-month-long Megadrought. The estimated number of precipitation days and precipitation amount for Central and Western Europe in 1540 is significantly lower than the 100-year minima of the in-strumental measurement period for spring, summer and autumn. This result is supported by independent documentary evidence about extremely low river flows and Europe-wide wild-, forestand settlement fires. We found that an event of this severity cannot be simulated by state-of-the-art climate models.}, language = {en} } @misc{PfisterWetterBrazdiletal., author = {Pfister, Christian and Wetter, Oliver and Br{\´a}zdil, Rudolf and Dobrovoln{\´y}, Petr and Glaser, R{\"u}diger and Luterbacher, J{\"u}rg and Seneviratne, Sonia I. and Zorita, Eduardo and Alcoforado, Maria Jo{\~a}o and Barriendos, Mariano and Bieber, Ursula and Burmeister, Karl H. and Camenisch, Chantal and Contino, Antonio and Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Herget, J{\"u}rgen and Himmelsbach, Iso and Labb{\´e}, Thomas and Liman{\´o}wka, Danuta and Litzenburger, Laurent and Kiss, Andrea and Kotyza, Oldřich and Nordl, {\O}yvind and Pribyl, Kathleen and Rets{\"o}, Dag and Riemann, Dirk and Rohr, Christian and Siegfried, Werner and Spring, Jean-Laurent and S{\"o}derberg, Johan and Wagner, Sebastian and Werner, Johannes P.}, title = {Tree-rings and people - different views on the 1540 Megadrought.

The desolvated framework can be obtained in the open pore form (op) or in the closed pore form (cp), depending on the crystal size regime. In the present work, we report on the behaviour of desolvated DUT-8(Ni) at elevated temperatures. For both, op and cp variants, heating causes a structural transition, leading to an new, crystalline compound, containing two interpenetrated networks. The state of the framework before transition (op vs. cp) influences the transition temperature: the small particles of the op phase transform at significantly lower temperature in comparison to the macroparticles of the cp phase, transforming close to the decomposition temperature. The new compound, confined closed pore phase (ccp), was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques, such as IR, EXAFS, and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Thermal effects of structural cp to ccp transitions were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), showing an overall exothermic effect of the process, involving bond breaking and reformation. Theoretical calculations reveal the energetics, driving the observed temperature induced phase transition.}, language = {en} } @misc{JahnkeCruysenPrilletal., author = {Jahnke, Sonja and Cruysen, Caren and Prill, Robert and Kittmann, Fabian and Pflug, Nicola and Albert, Justin Amadeus and Camargo, Tibor de and Arnrich, Bert and Krolikowska, Aleksandra and Kolcz, Anna and Reichert, Pawel and Oleksy, Lukasz and Michel, Sven and Kopf, Sebastian and Wagner, Michael and Scheffler, Sven and Becker, Roland}, title = {Protocol for a Randomized Crossover Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Soft Brace and Rigid Orthosis on Performance and Readiness to Return to Sport Six Months Post‑ACL‑Reconstruction}, series = {Healthcare}, volume = {11}, journal = {Healthcare}, number = {4}, issn = {2227-9032}, doi = {10.3390/healthcare11040513}, abstract = {A randomized crossover trial was designed to investigate the influence of muscle activation and strength on functional stability/control of the knee joint, to determine whether bilateral imbalances still occur six months after successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and to analyze whether the use of orthotic devices changes the activity onset of these muscles. Furthermore, conclusions on the feedforward and feedback mechanisms are highlighted. Therefore, twenty‑eight patients will take part in a modified Back in Action (BIA) test battery at an average of six months after a primary unilateral ACLR, which used an autologous ipsilateral semitendinosus tendon graft. This includes double‑leg and single‑leg stability tests, double‑leg and single‑leg countermovement jumps, double‑leg and single‑leg drop jumps, a speedy jump test, and a quick feet test. During the tests, gluteus medius and semitendinosus muscle activity are analyzed using surface electromyography (sEMG). Motion analysis is conducted using Microsoft Azure DK and 3D force plates. The tests are performed while wearing knee rigid orthosis, soft brace, and with no aid, in random order. Additionally, the range of hip and knee motion and hip abductor muscle strength under isometric conditions are measured. Furthermore, patient‑rated outcomes will be assessed.}, language = {en} }
