Item does not contain fulltext In this article the indications and surgical treatment options for patients with facial nerve palsy are discussed. A distinction is made between static and dynamic surgical procedures. Static reconstructions for example are used to restore the eyelid closure function. For smile reconstruction, which is important for the psychosocial life of the patient, dynamic procedures are used. Depending on the duration of the facial nerve paralysis, there are several possibilities to restore the smile. In this work the masseteric branch transposition to the buccal branch, the hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis, the Labbé procedure and the gracilis flap as a free muscle transplant are discussed. The surgical procedures are compared and the advantages and disadvantages of the intervention are presented. A spontaneous smile is aimed, this cannot always be achieved. With the masseteric branch transposition to the buccal branch and the Labbé procedure the smile is initially triggered by chewing. A spontaneous smile is possible through cortical adaptation. With the gracilis flap, however, a nerve anastomosis with the contralateral 'healthy' facial nerve is possible, either directly or via a so-called cross facial nerve grafting, whereby a spontaneous smile can be achieved.

The cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer in Europe with a rising incidence. Risk factors are sun exposure, fair skin, sunburn in the childhood, tobacco, tar and arsenic, which can cause a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene p53 and lead to skin cancer.

25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 4344-4349, This paper describes the details of the new multi-technology ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) field installed at the Airport of Bolzano Dolomiti (ABD) in the Italian Alps. The plant, owned by ABD and developed with a co-financing of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), is divided into two main parts: a 662 kW commercial installation, mounting 8538 CdTe modules First Solar 277, and a 62 kW experimental installation, mounting 24 different types of modules, divided into 39 groups ranging between 1 and 2 kW each. In this experimental installation the modules are mounted on fixed racks, as well as on mono-axial and bi-axial active trackers. EURAC Research is the scientific responsible of this test facility and follows the monitoring and test activities to evaluate the performance and the lifetime degradation of the modules. The aim of the monitoring activity is to allow a better understanding of module loss mechanisms for each technology and evaluating the performance in the alpine climatic conditions. The PV modules are evaluated in relationship to meteo data from an on-site station, counting a sensor for ambient temperature, an anemometer, a pyrheliometer, three pyranometers, an albedometer and also a sun photometer which allows evaluating the influence given by aerosols, ozone and vapors in the atmosphere to the irradiance. PV reference cells are also used, mounted horizontally, on the module plane, and on the two trackers. The PV plant has been connected to the MV network on August 10, 2010, and it is presently in course of approval by GSE (Gestore Servizi Energetici) for the incentive scheme in force. Monitoring results can be presently shown only for a couple of days for a limited number of groups.

25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 5131-5134, This paper presents the monitoring results of a PV system integrated into the façade of an office building situated in the city center of Bolzano (Italy). Data regarding PV production, climatic characteristics and module temperature have been collected for a six months period. The temperature reached by the modules is, as expected and confirmed by monitored data that registered a peak of 57.4°C, one critical aspect of this BIPV system since it is integrated into the façade without ventilation. Simulations show that, considering one single day, ventilation of the modules could enhance the power production of 3.5%. In order to verify the correspondence between simulations and monitored values, a comparison considering one single day was carried out: the mathematical model used by the software for simulations, manages to predict the PV array irradiation and the average temperature of the modules with good accuracy (respectively -2% and +0.2%), while the power production is strongly underestimated (-20%).This could be due to several reasons that are discussed in the paper.
