Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can gather the necessary information in a fast and efficient way. This paper presents an approach for path planning in 3D environments offering a solution to explore disaster areas including, e.g., partially or completely destroyed buildings. Using multiple UAVs decreases the time needed to receive a complete overview if the problem of coordination and task allocation is solved. We present an approach for the use of multiple UAVs. The UAVs work in a distributed manner without any central coordination instance and cover the exploration of terrains as well as goal-oriented path planning. When using multiple UAVs redundant exploration is avoided through the use of inter-UAV-communication. The approach is based on potential fields and uses the simplicity of the gradient method to calculate paths for fast exploration of the terrain. }}, author = {{Rasche, Christoph and Stern, Claudius and Kleinjohann, Lisa and Kleinjohann, Bernd}}, booktitle = {{The 5th International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Applications (ICARA 2011)}}, title = {{{A Distributed Multi-UAV Path Planning Approach for 3D Environments}}}, year = {{2011}}, } @inproceedings{26699, abstract = {{In this paper, we introduce a test bed for demonstrating and investigating self-x properties, such as self-optimization and self-organization, within the scope of multi-robot societies under realistic conditions.

Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between prepubertal glucocorticoid status and early or late pubertal markers, independent of adrenarchal and nutritional status. Design and Participants: Prospective cohort study of healthy Caucasian children (n = 111, 56 boys) who provided both 24-h urine samples and weighed dietary records 1 and 2 yr before the start of pubertal growth spurt [age at take-off (ATO)]. Measurements: Major urinary glucocorticoid and androgen metabolites determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis were summed to assess daily overall cortisol (ΣC21) and adrenal androgen secretion; urinary free cortisol and cortisone measured by RIA were summed (UFF+UFE) as an indicator of potentially bioactive free glucocorticoids. Main Outcomes: The main outcomes included ATO, age at peak height velocity, age at menarche/voice break, ages at Tanner stage 2 for breast (girls) and genital (boys) development, and pubic hair. Results: In girls ΣC21, but not UFF+UFE, was associated with pubertal markers after adjusting for overall adrenal androgen, urinary nitrogen, and body fat. Girls with higher ΣC21 (fourth quartile) reached ATO 0.7 yr (P = 0.01) and menarche 0.9 yr later (P = 0.006) than girls with lower ΣC21 (first quartile). The ΣC21 tended to be also positively associated with age at Tanner stage 2 for breast (P = 0.1), Tanner stage 2 for pubic hair (P = 0.1), and age at peak height velocity (P = 0.06). In boys, neither the ΣC21 nor UFF+UFE was related to pubertal timing. Conclusion: An individually higher prepubertal glucocorticoid secretion level, even in physiological range, appears to delay early and late pubertal timing of healthy girls, particularly their onset of pubertal growth spurt and menarche. }}, author = {{Shi, Lijie and Wudy, Stefan A. and Buyken, Anette and Maser-Gluth, Christiane and Hartmann, Michaela F. and Remer, Thomas}}, issn = {{0021-972X}}, journal = {{The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism}}, pages = {{E891--E898}}, title = {{{Prepubertal Glucocorticoid Status and Pubertal Timing}}}, doi = {{10.1210/jc.2010-2935}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27729, author = {{Diethelm, Katharina and Bolzenius, Katja and Cheng, Guo and Remer, Thomas and Buyken, Anette}}, issn = {{1747-7166}}, journal = {{International Journal of Pediatric Obesity}}, pages = {{e114--e123}}, title = {{{Longitudinal associations between reported sleep duration in early childhood and the development of body mass index, fat mass index and fat free mass index until age 7}}}, doi = {{10.3109/17477166.2011.566338}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27743, author = {{Gopinath, Bamini and Buyken, Anette and Flood, Victoria M and Empson, Marianne and Rochtchina, Elena and Mitchell, Paul}}, issn = {{0002-9165}}, journal = {{The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition}}, pages = {{1073--1079}}, title = {{{Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids, fish, and nuts and risk of inflammatory disease mortality}}}, doi = {{10.3945/ajcn.110.009977}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27744, abstract = {{The aim of the present study was to examine the association of pre-pubertal dietary energy density (ED) with both age and body fatness at the start of the pubertal growth spurt (age at take-off, ATO).
