The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for applying coating material to cavities in articles, in particular vehicle bodies, having a nozzle element which may be connected to a material source, a first dispensing opening and at least one further dispensing opening through which coating material may be dispensed.
A nozzle arrangement of this kind is known for example from U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,212 B2 and is used in particular to line cavities in vehicle bodies with an anticorrosion wax. For this purpose, the nozzle element typically takes the form of an elongate nozzle lance whereof the free end has a plurality of dispensing openings. The nozzle lance is guided by means of an arm of a multiple-axis application robot and, for application, is pushed into a cavity for treatment in the vehicle body such that the region of the nozzle lance having the dispensing openings is in the interior of the cavity. Where necessary application may also be performed manually.
A vehicle body has up to 120 cavities which may have markedly differing geometries. However, it must be ensured that all the different cavities are lined with wax completely and reliably to ensure satisfactory corrosion protection. To this end, different nozzle elements are each used for different cavity types. These are adapted in respect of their shape, number and the arrangement of the respectively associated dispensing openings to a respective particular cavity type in a particular vehicle body, with the result that wax can be sprayed into the cavities at the appropriate dispensing angles and at the appropriate dispensing locations. In this case, cavities of different geometries may be associated with a cavity type. Depending on the vehicle body for treatment, up to 80 different nozzle elements may be needed for cavity protection.
So that at least a few different cavity types may be treated using one and the same nozzle arrangement, the nozzle arrangement of U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,212 B2, for example, is set up as a changeable head and includes a plurality of different nozzle elements which, as needed, are brought into an application position by means of a folding mechanism and are thereby connected to the material source.
A flowable mixture of compressed air and wax is generated, in a manner known per se, in a mixing chamber upstream of the respectively active nozzle lance and is conveyed to the dispensing openings of the active nozzle lance and there applied to the cavity through all the dispensing openings at the same time.
The mechanical construction of this kind of changeable head having a folding mechanism is very complex, however, and also relatively susceptible to disruption. For example, the nozzle elements must not be folded into position too rapidly, since a nozzle element may be bent by the momentum of abutting contact, that is to say when it takes up its application position. Moreover, the procedure of folding into place takes a relatively long time; changing from a first nozzle element to a second nozzle element typically takes 3 to 4 seconds. This restricts the number of vehicle bodies treated per unit of time and thus limits the rate of operation of the treatment plant.
Moreover, it is necessary constantly to check whether the nozzle element to be used is correctly locked in its application position and the other nozzle elements are correctly locked in their respective inactive positions. If this is not the case, there may be undesirable collisions between the nozzle elements and the vehicle body.
Further, the overall space needed for the folding mechanism is very large by comparison with the dimensions of the nozzle elements. This restricts the ability to reach cavities, in particular in the interior of the vehicle body.
During operation, the nozzle elements are soiled by wax adhering to the outside, and so have to be cleaned after a certain period of operation. For this, typically the changeable head must be removed from the robot arm and cleaned separately, at another location. So that continuous operation can be maintained even while the changeable head is being cleaned, a changeable head of the same construction, used to replace the changeable head that is to be cleaned, must be provided. This in turn has an effect on overall operating costs.
It is the object of the invention to provide a nozzle arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which takes account of the considerations discussed above.

A randomized trial fo three cisplatin-containing regimens in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC): a study of the Umbrian Lung Cancer Group.
Survival in patients with locally advanced (stage III Mo) and metastatic (Ml) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is short. Phase II studies have reported objective responses ranging from 20% to 60% using cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimens, yet few have shown improvement in median survival. In our phase II pilot studies with cisplatin (CDDP) and etoposide (VP-16), we observed a 26% response rate; with CDDP, VP-16, and mitomycin-C, a 38% response rate was obtained in advanced NSCLC patients. A total of 156 consecutive patients with locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC were randomized to one of three treatment arms to determine whether the chemotherapy protocols had any effect on response rate and median survival in a large, randomized study. Arm 1 consisted of CDDP (120 mg/m2 x 3 weeks); arm 2, of CDDP (120 mg/m2) and VP-16 (100 mg/m2 given i.v. on days 1-3), repeated every 3 weeks; and arm 3, of CDDP (120 mg/m2) and VP-16 (100 mg/m2 on days 1-3) given every 3 weeks, plus mitomycin C (10 mg/m2 on days 1, 21, and 42, then every 6 weeks, for a maximal dose of 100 mg). After 71 patients had been enrolled in the study, we stopped accrual in the CDDP arm due to a lack of response [1 complete response (CR) in 24 patients; 4%] and continued enrollment in the two combination-chemotherapy arms. In the CDDP/VP-16 arm a 30% response rate [1 CR, 18 partial responses (PRs)] was obtained, and in the CDDP/VP-16 mitomycin C arm a 26% response rate (4 CRs, 11 PRs) was seen among a total of 150 evaluable patients. Responses were observed in 31% of patients with favorable performance status (PS) (ECOG 0-1) vs 14% in patients with a poor PS (ECOG 2-3). Of patients with locally advanced disease (III Mo), 17 (33%) obtained an objective response, compared with 20 patients (20%) with metastatic disease. Median survival was 18 weeks in the CDDP arm, 35 weeks in the CDDP/VP-16 arm, and 37 weeks in the CDDP/VP-16/mitomycin C arm. The median survival in the multimodal chemotherapy arms was significantly greater than that obtained with CDDP alone. Toxicity was predominantly myelosuppression in the mitomycin C-containing arm (27%, wtto grade 3-4). Our study shows that combination chemotherapy using CDDP/VP-16 is active and safe in the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with a good performance status. The addition of mitomycin C did not improve the therapeutic response.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Clinical Trials in Oncology

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about clinical trials in oncology, specifically focusing on a study conducted by the Umbrian Lung Cancer Group. We will explore the importance of clinical trials in improving cancer treatments and outcomes, as well as the different phases of clinical trials.

Section 1: Importance of Clinical Trials in Oncology

Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. They allow researchers to test new treatments, drugs, or procedures in human subjects, helping to determine their safety and efficacy. In oncology, clinical trials play a crucial role in developing new therapies and improving outcomes for patients with cancer.

Section 2: The Umbrian Lung Cancer Group Study

The Umbrian Lung Cancer Group conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of three cisplatin-containing regimens in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study involved 156 patients with locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC who were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms. The goal of the study was to determine whether the chemotherapy protocols had any effect on response rate and median survival in a large, randomized study.

Section 3: Phases of Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are typically divided into four phases:

1. Phase I: These trials involve a small number of participants and aim to assess the safety and side effects of a new drug or treatment.
2. Phase II: These trials involve a larger number of participants and aim to determine the optimal dose and dosing schedule of a new drug or treatment.
3. Phase III: These trials involve an even larger number of participants and aim to compare the new drug or treatment to standard treatments to determine its effectiveness and safety.
4. Phase IV: These trials involve the largest number of participants and aim to monitor the long-term effects of a new drug or treatment after it has been approved and made available to the public.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, clinical trials are essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care in oncology. The Umbrian Lung Cancer Group's study demonstrated the importance of conducting large, randomized trials to evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments. Understanding the different phases of clinical trials can help us appreciate the complexity and importance of these studies in improving cancer treatments and outcomes.

Glossary:
- Clinical trial: A research study that involves human participants and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new drug, treatment, or procedure.
- Oncology: The branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
- Randomized trial: A type of clinical trial where participants are randomly assigned to one of two or more groups to receive different treatments or interventions.
- Median survival: The time at which half of the patients in a study are still alive, representing the midpoint of the survival distribution.

Self-Debate Discussion:

Why are clinical trials important in improving cancer treatments and outcomes?

Debate: Clinical trials are important because they allow researchers to test new treatments, drugs, or procedures in human subjects, helping to determine their safety and efficacy. Without clinical trials, we would not be able to develop new and improved treatments for cancer patients.

Conclusion: Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care in oncology. By conducting large, randomized trials like the Umbrian Lung Cancer Group study, we can evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments and improve cancer outcomes.

Q:

How to store a lot of data (more than 3000 rows) for one row in a table (MySQL DB)?

I want to store a lot of data (dates) for one row in my database, what is the right way to do that?
I will give an example:
If I have a variaty of fruits, and I want to count during the month, how much fruits I ate, and how much fruits my ate.
This is what I think of doing right now and I'm not sure this is the right and best way:
"Fruit" Table:
f_id, f_name (fruit name), f_data (fruit count for each day).

Then create a new table called
"Data":
dat_id, dat_date, dat_count, dat_friend_count.

and connect the unique fruit_id with dat_id. (1 : n)
and whenever I want to get for example: A display of all the apples I ate -> and apple ID is 7, I look up the ID number 7 in the "Data" table, and display them for the user with the dates.
Is this the right way working with this kind of data / table structure?

A:

No, from relational perspective, your example is not correct.
You should have two tables:
Table "Fruit"
id | fruit_name

(this is where you store information about what kind of fruits you have)
Table "Eat"
id | fruit_id | fruit_count | date

(this is where you record all your actions, i.e. every single time you ate a fruit - when and how many)
Then, to find out how many fruits in total did you eat in December 2015, you would write a SQL query:
SELECT COUNT(eat.fruit_count) FROM fruit
LEFT JOIN eat ON eat.fruit_id = fruit.id
WHERE eat.date >= '2015-12-01 00:00:00' AND eat.date <= '2015-12-31 23:59:59'

To find out how many fruits did you eat for one specific kind of fruit, you should add the ID of Fruit in WHERE clause:
SELECT COUNT(eat.fruit_count) FROM fruit
LEFT JOIN eat ON eat.fruit_id = fruit.id
WHERE eat.date >= '2015-12-01 00:00:00' AND eat.date <= '2015-12-31 23:59:59' AND fruit.id = '1'

Lesson: Storing Large Amounts of Data in a Database

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn how to store large amounts of data in a database. We will use MySQL as our database management system. MySQL is a popular choice for storing and managing large amounts of data due to its flexibility and ease of use.

Section 1: Understanding the Problem

The problem we are trying to solve is how to store a large amount of data for one row in a table. For example, let's say we have a table called "Orders" that contains information about all the orders made by our customers. Each order has multiple items, and we want to store the details of each item in the same row.

Section 2: Designing the Solution

To solve this problem, we can use a technique called "normalization." Normalization involves breaking down a large table into smaller, more manageable tables that are related to each other. In our case, we can create a separate table for each type of item that appears in an order. For example, we could have a "Products" table that contains information about each product, such as its name, description, and price. Then, we could have an "OrderItems" table that contains the details of each item in an order, such as the quantity ordered, the price per unit, and the total cost.

Section 3: Implementing the Solution

Now that we have designed our solution, we need to implement it in our MySQL database. To do this, we will create a new table called "OrderItems" with the following columns:

- order_id (foreign key to the Orders table)
- product_id (foreign key to the Products table)
- quantity
- price_per_unit
- total_cost

Next, we will create a new table called "Products" with the following columns:

- product_id
- name
- description
- price

Finally, we will create a new table called "Orders" with the following columns:

- order_id
- customer_id (foreign key to the Customers table)
- order_date
- total_cost

Section 4: Testing the Solution

Now that we have implemented our solution, we need to test it to make sure it works correctly. We can do this by inserting some sample data into our tables and then retrieving it using SQL queries.

For example, we can retrieve all the products that appear in an order by using the following query:

SELECT p.name, p.description, oi.quantity, oi.price_per_unit, oi.total_cost
FROM Products p
JOIN OrderItems oi ON p.product_id = oi.product_id
JOIN Orders o ON oi.order_id = o.order_id
WHERE o.customer_id = '1234';

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to store large amounts of data in a database using normalization. We designed a solution that involved creating separate tables for each type of data, and then implemented this solution in our MySQL database. Finally, we tested our solution to make sure it worked correctly.

Glossary:
- Normalization: A technique used in database design to break down a large table into smaller, more manageable tables that are related to each other.
- Foreign key: A column or set of columns in one table that refers to the primary key of another table.
- SQL: Structured Query Language, a language used to interact with databases.

Lesson: Introduction to Coding

## Section 1: What is Coding?
Coding is the process of writing computer programs that can perform specific tasks. It involves breaking down a problem into smaller parts and creating a set of instructions that a computer can understand and execute. Coding is used in various fields such as software development, web development, and data analysis.

## Section 2: Why Learn Coding?
Learning coding has many benefits. It helps you think logically and creatively, which can be useful in other areas of your life. It also allows you to create software programs that can make your life easier or solve problems more efficiently. Additionally, coding is a highly sought-after skill in today's job market, making it a valuable skill to have.

## Section 3: How Does Coding Work?
Coding works by using a programming language to write a set of instructions that the computer can understand and execute. There are many different programming languages, each with its own syntax and structure. Once the instructions are written, the computer can read them and perform the necessary actions to complete the task.

## Section 4: Types of Coding Languages
There are many different types of coding languages, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some popular coding languages include Python, Java, and C++. Python is often used for web development and data analysis, while Java is commonly used for mobile app development and game design. C++ is often used for system and application development.

## Section 5: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at an example of coding in action. Suppose you want to create a program that will print out the numbers 1 to 10. Here's an example of how you could code this in Python:
```python
for i in range(1, 11):
    print(i)
```
In this example, we use a loop to iterate through the numbers 1 to 10 and print each one out. The `range()` function creates a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10, and the `for` loop iterates through each number in the sequence, printing it out with the `print()` function.

## Section 6: Conclusion
Coding is a valuable skill that can help you think logically and creatively, and it is highly sought after in the job market. By learning to code, you can create software programs that can make your life easier or solve problems more efficiently. Whether you're interested in web development, game design, or data analysis, there's a coding language that's right for you. So why not start learning today?

Lesson: Randomized Stopping in Optimal Control Problems

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the method of randomized stopping and its application in optimal control problems. We will start by understanding what randomized stopping is and then move on to its applications in optimal control problems.

What is Randomized Stopping?
Randomized stopping is a technique used in statistical hypothesis testing to determine whether to stop collecting data or not. It involves randomly deciding whether or not to stop collecting data based on a predetermined criterion. This criterion is usually based on the significance level of the test.

Why is Randomized Stopping Used in Optimal Control Problems?
Randomized stopping is used in optimal control problems because it allows us to reduce the problem to an optimal control problem without stopping. This is particularly useful when dealing with controlled diffusion processes with unbounded coefficients.

How does Randomized Stopping Work in Optimal Control Problems?
Randomized stopping works in optimal control problems by first applying the method to the stopping problem and then reducing the resulting optimal control problem to an optimal control problem without stopping. This is done by using the method of Krylov on numerical solutions to the Bellman equation.

Theoretical Concepts:
1. Randomized stopping is a technique used in statistical hypothesis testing to determine whether to stop collecting data or not.
2. In optimal control problems, randomized stopping is used to reduce the problem to an optimal control problem without stopping.
3. The method of Krylov is used to solve the Bellman equation numerically.

Practical Examples:
Let's consider a controlled diffusion process with unbounded coefficients. We want to find the optimal stopping time that minimizes the expected cost of the control. Using randomized stopping, we can first apply the method to the stopping problem and then reduce the resulting optimal control problem to an optimal control problem without stopping. This allows us to solve the problem more efficiently.

Questions and Answers:
1. What is randomized stopping?
2. Why is randomized stopping used in optimal control problems?
3. How does randomized stopping work in optimal control problems?

Definitions:
Optimal Control Problem: A problem in which an optimal control is sought to minimize a given cost function.
Controlled Diffusion Process: A stochastic process that is influenced by an external control.
Bellman Equation: A differential equation that describes the optimal control problem.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the method of randomized stopping and its application in optimal control problems. We saw how randomized stopping can be used to reduce the problem to an optimal control problem without stopping. We also looked at practical examples and definitions related to the topic. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical applications of randomized stopping, we can apply these skills to new problems and situations.
