The Red Lodge and Silver Star chromite deposits of Montana have stimulated much interest during periods of war. The Red Lodge deposit is 25 miles southwest of Red Lodge which is also the nearest railroad point. Several workings are scattered throughout the area, exposing lense-like ore bodies averaging 33% chrome oxide. Silver Star is a much smaller deposit 5 miles west of Silver Star, Montana, which is its nearest railroad point. Lenses of chromite are exposed by pits and trenches, which average approximately 36% chromic oxide.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the population's exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in industrialized countries. OBJECTIVES: To examine levels of exposure and the importance of different RF-EMF sources and settings in a sample of volunteers living in a Swiss city. METHODS: RF-EMF exposure of 166 volunteers from Basel, Switzerland, was measured with personal exposure meters (exposimeters). Participants carried an exposimeter for 1 week (two separate weeks in 32 participants) and completed an activity diary. Mean values were calculated using the robust regression on order statistics (ROS) method. RESULTS: Mean weekly exposure to all RF-EMF sources was 0.13 mW/m(2) (0.22 V/m) (range of individual means 0.014-0.881 mW/m(2)). Exposure was mainly due to mobile phone base stations (32.0%), mobile phone handsets (29.1%) and digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) phones (22.7%). Persons owning a DECT phone (total mean 0.15 mW/m(2)) or mobile phone (0.14 mW/m(2)) were exposed more than those not owning a DECT or mobile phone (0.10 mW/m(2)). Mean values were highest in trains (1.16 mW/m(2)), airports (0.74 mW/m(2)) and tramways or buses (0.36 mW/m(2)), and higher during daytime (0.16 mW/m(2)) than nighttime (0.08 mW/m(2)). The Spearman correlation coefficient between mean exposure in the first and second week was 0.61. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to RF-EMF varied considerably between persons and locations but was fairly consistent within persons. Mobile phone handsets, mobile phone base stations and cordless phones were important sources of exposure in urban Switzerland.

The objective of this study was to analyze central motor output changes in relation to contraction force during motor fatigue. The triple stimulation technique (TST, Magistris et al. in Brain 121(Pt 3):437-450, 1998) was used to quantify a central conduction index (CCI = amplitude ratio of central conduction response and peripheral nerve response, obtained simultaneously by the TST). The CCI removes effects of peripheral fatigue from the quantification. It allows a quantification of the percentage of the entire target muscle motor unit pool driven to discharge by a transcranial magnetic stimulus. Subjects (n = 23) performed repetitive maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) of abductor digiti minimi (duration 1 s, frequency 0.5 Hz) during 2 min. TST recordings were obtained every 15 s, using stimulation intensities sufficient to stimulate all cortical motor neurons (MNs) leading to the target muscle, and during voluntary contractions of 20% of the MVC to facilitate the responses. TST was also repetitively recorded during recovery. This basic exercise protocol was modified in a number of experiments to further characterize influences on CCI of motor fatigue (4 min exercise at 50% MVC; delayed fatigue recovery during local hemostasis, "stimulated exercise" by 20 Hz trains of 1 s duration at 0.5 Hz during 2 min). In addition, the cortical silent period was measured during the basic exercise protocol. Force fatigued to approximately 40% of MVC in all experiments and in all subjects. In all subjects, CCI decreased during exercise, but this decrease varied markedly between subjects. On average, CCI reductions preceded force reductions during exercise, and CCI recovery preceded force recovery. Exercising at 50% for 4 min reduced muscle force more markedly than CCI. Hemostasis induced by a cuff delayed muscle force recovery, but not CCI recovery. Stimulated exercise reduced force markedly, but CCI decreased only marginally. Summarized, force reduction and reduction of the CCI related poorly quantitatively and in time, and voluntary drive was particularly critical to reduce the CCI. The fatigue induced reduction of CCI may result from a central inhibitory phenomenon. Voluntary muscle activation is critical for the CCI reduction, suggesting a primarily supraspinal mechanism.

Intermodal rail/road freight transport constitutes an alternative to long-haul road transport for the distribution of large volumes of goods. The paper introduces the intermodal transportation problem for the tactical planning of mode and service selection. In rail mode, shippers either book train capacity on a per-unit basis or charter block trains completely. Road mode is used for short-distance haulage to intermodal terminals and for direct shipments to customers. We analyze the competition of road and intermodal transportation with regard to freight consolidation and service cost on a model basis. The approach is applied to a distribution system of an industrial company serving customers in eastern Europe. The case study investigates the impact of transport cost and consolidation on the optimal modal split.

Für den innerbetrieblichen Transport und besonders für die Materialversorgung in der Produktion werden zunehmend Routenzüge eingesetzt, die aus einem Schleppfahrzeug und bis zu fünf Anhängern bestehen. Um gute Manövrierbarkeit und einen geringen Platzbedarf zu gewährleisten, sollten Routenzuganhänger möglichst spurtreu sein. In diesem Beitrag wird die Spurtreue exemplarisch für zwei am Markt verfügbare Anhänger für Routenzüge mit zwei ungelenkten und vier gelenkten Rädern untersucht. Hierfür wird zunächst ein Gütekriterium definiert, das die maximale Abweichung von der Spurtreue quantitativ erfasst. Außerdem werden Testszenarien vorgeschlagen, um die verschiedenen Fahrwerks- und Lenkkonzepte vergleichen zu können. Mit Hilfe eines entwickelten analytischen Modells werden die Abweichungen in der Spurtreue bei stationärer Kreisfahrt für die zwei gewählten Konzepte berechnet und dargestellt. Zusätzlich wird eine Mehrkörper-Simulation, die eine tiefere physikalische Modellierung und die Untersuchung komplexerer Fahrmanöver erlaubt, durchgeführt und mit den analytischen Ergebnissen verglichen. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass neben der Lenkkinematik weitere Parameter wie das Schräglaufverhalten der Reifen Einfluss auf die Spurtreue haben.

Schleppzüge haben für den innerbetrieblichen Materialtransport in den letzten Jahren stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Wichtige Eigenschaften sind die Manövrierbarkeit und die Spurtreue, da sie maßgeblich den Flächenbedarf bestimmen. In diesem Beitrag wird das Nachlaufverhalten von Schleppzügen, die sich durch ihr Fahrwerks- und Lenkkonzept unterscheiden, untersucht sowie eine neue Lenkkinematik vorgestellt. Um die Spurtreue der verschiedenen Konzepte objektiv vergleichen zu können, werden zunächst Fahrmanöver und ein Gütekriterium definiert, so dass die Abweichungen von der Spurtreue quantitativ beschrieben und verglichen werden können. Mit einem in diesem Beitrag vorgestellten analytischen Modell können bereits für die stationäre Kreisfahrt wichtige Aus-sagen über die Spurabweichungen getroffen werden. Zu-sätzlich werden Simulationen durchgeführt, die eine tiefere physikalische Modellierung und die Untersuchung komple-xerer Fahrmanöver erlauben. Außerdem wird dargestellt, dass auch die Art des Fahrmanövers Einfluss auf die Spurabweichung hat. Fahrwerks- und Lenkkonzepte, die bei stationärer Kreisfahrt ein sehr gutes Nachlaufverhalten aufweisen und bisher als spurtreu bezeichnet wurden, zeigen beim Ein- oder Ausfahren aus der Kurve zum Teil erhebliche Spurabweichungen. Mit diesen Erkenntnissen wird ein neues Lenkkonzept vorgestellt, das sich insbesondere durch einen sehr einfachen Aufbau sowie eine hohe Spurtreue auszeichnet.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a recent putative treatment for affective disorders. Several studies have demonstrated antidepressant effects of rTMS in younger patients; we aimed to assess its effect in older outpatients with treatment-resistant major depression. Twenty-four outpatients (mean age=62 years, S.D.=12) with major depression were randomized for sham or real stimulation and received 10 daily rTMS sessions (20 Hz, 2-s trains, 28-s intertrain intervals, 100% of motor threshold) in addition to the antidepressant medication. For sham stimulation, the coil was tilted 90 degrees. Depression severity was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, items from the NIMH self-rated symptom scale, and a visual analog depression scale. Mini-Mental Status Examination performance, memory, and executive and attentional functions were measured to control for cognitive side effects. Depression ratings revealed significant antidepressant effects within 2 weeks in both sham and real stimulation groups; however, there were no between-group differences. Treatment with rTMS was safe; adverse events were rare and not more prevalent in either group, and cognitive assessment did not show any deterioration. We were unable to demonstrate any additional antidepressant effects of real stimulation in elderly patients with treatment-resistant major depression. Therapeutic effects of rTMS in this clinically challenging patient group remain to be demonstrated.
