✦ Synopsis
We propose an algorithm for the hierarchical aggregation of observations in disseminationbased, distributed traffic information systems. Instead of transmitting observed parameters directly, we propose soft-state sketches-an extension of Flajolet-Martin sketchesas a probabilistic approximation. This data representation is duplicate insensitive, a trait that overcomes two central problems of existing aggregation schemes for VANET applications. First, when multiple aggregates of observations for the same area are available, it is possible to combine them into an aggregate containing all information from the original aggregates. This is fundamentally different from existing approaches where typically one of the aggregates is selected for further use while the rest is discarded. Second, any observation or aggregate can be included into higher-level aggregates, regardless if it has already been previously-directly or indirectly-added. Those characteristics result in a very flexible aggregate construction and a high quality of the aggregates. We demonstrate these traits of our approach by a simulation study.

Low levels of insoluble aggregates in protein formulations can sometimes only be detected by visual inspection. To overcome the subjectivity and other limitations associated with visual inspection, a microscopic technique based on filtration/staining was developed. This method is a simple modificati
