This document discusses approaches to summarize and analyze large metagenomic DNA sequence datasets. It describes two exact data reduction techniques: eliminating unconnected reads and subdividing reads by connectivity into partitions of the assembly graph. These techniques allow filtering and partitioning large datasets into smaller pieces that can be assembled individually to address the challenge that metagenome assembly does not scale well with data size. The techniques are shown to work on test datasets, though one issue is that large datasets tend to have one very large partition that is difficult to assemble. The cause is identified as sequencing artifacts in reads, and trimming reads is proposed as a solution.

Stiftet i 1976 Som et tømrer- og snedkerfirma, hvor der bla. også produceres køkkener og vinduer/døre. 80érne flyttes focus på vindues- og dørproduktion, i fyrretræ og mahogny. Fra starten af 90érne, kvalitet og 100% kernetræ, produkter specifikt renovering, eks. forsats rammer og koblede vinduer. 2005 Vipo Vind uer kontaktes af Troels Kildemoes, introducerer Passivhus konceptet, Passivhus vinduer kongevinduer. Besøg af Optiwin, Østrigsk sammenslutning af vindues producenter, andre med interesse for Passivhus idéen. 2006 Vipo Vinduer de ltager i Passivhaus Tagung i Hannover med et prototype vindue. Ingen respons men en masse erfaringer rigere! 2006 Vipo Vinduer forha ndler Optiwin produkter i Danmark, gav en masse tilbuds-aktivitet og en del ordrer, igen lærte vi en masse af det. 2007 Vipo Vinduer etabler er udviklingssamarbejde m/Franz Freundorfer, Østrig udvikling certificeret udadgående Passivhus Vindue. Franz er en af pionererne, ildsjæl Passivhus konceptet og fadder, Passivhus vinduerne fra Optiwin. Har tætte relationer til Passivhaus Institut i Darmstadt der godkender Passivhus Komponenter og udsteder certifikater. 2008/09 Udvikling, udtagelse af patent. Begyndte rent faktisk med mønsterbeskyttelse, senere er endt i en et Patent, jeg skal hilse tager umanerligt lang tid!! 2010, Vi nu i gang med Passi vhus certificering. Det første produkt er topstyrede vinduer og faste karme, senere følger sidehængte og døre. Vi har naturligvis fortsat udviklingen af vore træ- og mahogny produkter indenfor specielt koblede vinduer- og døre spændende løsninger med kun 19 mm sprosser.
Vipo Vinduer A/S har forhandlet Optiwin Passivhus vinduer igennem nogle år. Vi gjorde det primært, erfaring med Passivhus konceptet, på sigt var målet udvikling af vort eget Passivhus vindue. Optiwin passivhus standard vinduer er indadgående, profilerne synes meget store og grove. Da man for år tilbage i Østrig startede på passivhus idéen, og skulle udvikle vinduer var focus udelukkende på isolerings evne. Så med udgangspunkt i standard indadgående dreje/kip vinduer, optimerede man til passivhus standard. Bemærk venligst den udstrakte brug af naturmaterialer i vinduet, her kork. Bemærk ligeledes de meget store profiler i karm/ramme.
Her et udvalg af forskellige certificerede Passivhus vinduer i forskellige materialer, bemærk igen de meget store profil konstruktioner.
Hvad er kendt teknol ogi? Et dansk standard vindue med en typisk ramme/karm konstruktion, rammen ligger over karmen, ingen isolerende faktorer i profilerne, 2-lags termorude u-værdi 1,1 w/m 2 , kun et tætningsplan og en u-værdi på ca. 1,3 w/m 2 . Østrigsk Passivhus vi ndue certificeret med en u-værdi på 0,85 w/m 2 , ramme ligger over karm. Isolerings materiale i ramme/karm profiler. 3-lags termorude u-værdi 0,6 w/m 2 , 2 tætningsplan og en u-værdi på ca. 0,79 w/m 2 . Som det fremgår, sker der meget med den indvendige overflade temperatur fra standard dansk vindue til Passivhus standard. Temperaturen hæves betragteligt betyder mindre udgift til energi og meget bedre komfort.
Hvad skal der så til for at kunne certificerer et Passivhus vindue? Der er flere grundlæggende faktorer der skal være på plads. Det bedste er naturligvis at få en certificering i hus under første betingelse, det næst bedste vil være en u-værdi ved en optimal indbygning, denne indbygning skal også være certificeret. Det skal nævnes, at man hovedsageligt opererer med den indbyggede u-værdi, da den angiver et linietab ved indbygning. Værdien bruges ikke i danske energirammeberegninger, men alligevel da formlen er indbygget i eks. bygningssoftwaren Be06.
Der var mange overvejelser i projektet, ganske mange gange måtte vi erkende nederlaget og begynde helt fra start igen.
Her er det så, Passiv-one. Vi har endnu ikke certificeringen på plads, men forventer at have det som julegave! Som det ses, en meget slank profil opbygning, i modsætning til de Østriske/Tyske løsninger Det isolerende materiale i profilerne er fibertex, alá det man anvender til opslagstavler. Fibertex er et naturprodukt lavet af træfibre. 3-lags termorude med en u-værdi på 0,5 w/m 2 , under ruden er anvendt fåreuld for at bryde kuldebro fra kantprofilet. Ruden er fuget ind- og udvendigt med silicone, hvor der ligeledes er anvendt fåreuld under silicone fugen.
Franz Freundorfer har lavet en therm beregning der viser konstruktionens isolerings evne. Vi fik at vide i går at uden yderligere justeringer er Passivhus Certificeringen indenfor rækkevidde som det fremgår her. Optimering…….
Her er et forslag til indbygning…
Vi har lige nu topstyrede vinduer og faste karme i støbeskeen. Planlægger egentlig produktion engang i 1. kvartal 2011. Sortimentet skal med tiden udvides med sidehængte vinduer og døre.
Her er endnu et forslag hvor vi har foretaget en varmetabs beregning visende nul, i konstruktionen.
