Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing adhesion strength between a surface of a metal, a metal alloy or a metal oxide and a surface of an organic material comprising as a main step contacting of at least one section of said metal, metal alloy or metal oxide with a specific azole silane compound, a specific azole silane oligomer, or a mixture comprising said compound and/or said oligomer. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a use of said specific azole silane compound, said specific azole silane oligomer, or said mixture in a method for increasing adhesion strength between a surface of a metal, a metal alloy or a metal oxide and a surface of an organic material.

Abstract: A network entity (9) for managing data traffic routed via the network entity (9) in a communications system, the network entity (9) comprising a circuitry (10) configured to: monitor at least the data traffic transmitted over a communications link (7a, 7b); and manage the monitored data traffic based on an output of a machine learning algorithm (13), the machine learning algorithm (13) being trained to predict at least one of a data capacity requirement and a quality of service depending on at least one of a user behavior, a data traffic pattern, a cost and a time occurrence.

Abstract: A method for predicting the behavior of at least one road user in a traffic situation. The method includes: obtaining a graph representation of the traffic situation, wherein nodes represent road users, edges represent interactions between the road users and define an adjacency between road users, each node is associated with a state, and each edge is associated with edge attributes; computing an evolution of the states of the nodes based at least in part on a self-evolution of the state of each considered node that is dependent on this state and mediated by a self-evolution operator; and an interaction of each considered node with other nodes that is dependent on the states of these other nodes and mediated by an interaction operator; and computing a sought property that characterizes the behavior of the at least one road user.

Abstract: Described and represented is a method for determining the content of at least one plant substance of at least one part of a plant. In order for the content of plant substances, in particular secondary plant substances, of at least one part of a plant to be determined and optimized more expediently, it is provided that the at least one part of the plant is irradiated successively with light of different wavelengths and/or wavelength ranges and that, in response to the irradiation of the at least one part of the plant with light of each wavelength and/or at each wavelength range, the chlorophyll fluorescence at least substantially the same wavelength and/or at least substantially the same wavelength range is measured in each case.

Abstract: A system and method for performing information system assessments, collecting the results, providing an analysis and evaluation of the results to provide a comprehensive and integrated assessment of the information system.

Abstract: A storage/transport container for intact and broken nuclear-fuel elements has a vessel defining an interior extending along an axis and a plurality of like basket sections forming a stack extending substantially a full axial length of the interior and forming a plurality of axial full-length rectangular-section wells. Respective metal tubes extending substantially the full length of some of the wells are of complementary section to the respective wells and are each adapted to snugly hold an intact spent nuclear-fuel element. At least one box extending substantially the full length of others of the wells is of complementary section to the respective well and is adapted to hold pieces of a broken spent nuclear-fuel element.
