Abstract: A method for determining the concentration of a fluorescent and/or fluorescence-labeled analyte, and to a calibration method for preparing such determination, for use in the field of biological and environmental analysis in order to improve the accuracy of concentration determination, comprising the following steps: performing fluorescence measurements for calibration samples that have predetermined concentrations of a plurality of fluorescent and/or fluorescence-labeled reference analytes Rj that differ from each other by values m of a diffusion measure characterizing the diffusion of the reference analyte, in order to determine the values i of a concentration-dependent parameter I; establishing functions Fj(c)=i which describe the dependence of the parameter I on the concentration; determining the values of a slope parameter a for the respective reference analyte as a derivative of the respective function at c=0; determining the values mj of the diffusion measure for the reference analytes; establishing the

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for valuing third-party generated content within a video game environment. Third-party generated content (e.g., a persona item for a virtual character) for a video game comprising file(s) is received. The file(s) are analyzed to detect more predefined objective property(ies) of the received third-party generated content. A rarity score for the third-party generated content is calculated based, at least in part, upon the detected one or more predefined objective properties and, optionally, a weight assigned to each predefined objective property. A rarity level for the third-party generated content is assigned based, at least in part, on the calculated score. Information regarding the assigned rarity level of the third-party generated content is provided (e.g., to a user of the video game and/or a creator of the third-party generated content).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for quantifying emitting particles and for characterizing the time-dependent behavior of the particles. The number n of emissions of the particles in the measuring period that have been detected in a time interval having a predetermined interval width within the measuring period is ascertained, wherein the evaluation is performed particularly for a plurality of time intervals having the same interval width, with a distribution function p(n) for the number n of detected emissions being determined. For the interval width different bin times ? are stipulated, and, for each bin time ?, the evaluation is performed and a distribution function p?(n) is ascertained, wherein, for each bin time ?, moments mi,?Mess for the distribution function p?(n) are ascertained, from which bin time dependent moment functions miMess(?) are presented.
