There are multiple forms of sterilization, each intended to be applied for a specific target, which depends on—but not limited to—the thermal, physical, and chemical stability of that target. Herein, an overview on the currently used sterilization processes in the global market is provided. Different sterilization techniques are grouped under a category that describes the method of treatment: radiation (gamma, electron beam, X-ray, and ultraviolet), thermal (dry and moist heat), and chemical (ethylene oxide, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide). For each sterilization process, the typical process parameters as defined by regulations and the mode of antimicrobial activity are summarized. Finally, the recommended microorganisms that are used as biological indicators to validate sterilization processes in accordance with the rules that are established by various regulatory agencies are summarized.}, language = {en} } @article{JablonskiMuenstermannNorketal.2021, author = {Jablonski, Melanie and M{\"u}nstermann, Felix and Nork, Jasmina and Molinnus, Denise and Muschallik, Lukas and Bongaerts, Johannes and Wagner, Torsten and Keusgen, Michael and Siegert, Petra and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Capacitive field-effect biosensor applied for the detection of acetoin in alcoholic beverages and fermentation broths}, series = {physica status solidi (a) applications and materials science}, volume = {218}, journal = {physica status solidi (a) applications and materials science}, number = {13}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1862-6319}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.202000765}, pages = {7 Seiten}, year = {2021}, abstract = {An acetoin biosensor based on a capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structure modified with the enzyme acetoin reductase, also known as butane-2,3-diol dehydrogenase (Bacillus clausii DSM 8716ᵀ), is applied for acetoin detection in beer, red wine, and fermentation broth samples for the first time.

Light addressability can be used to visualize the concentration and spatial distribution of the target molecules, e.g., H+ ions. This unique feature has great potential for the label-free imaging of the metabolic activity of living organisms. The cultivation of those organisms needs specially tailored surface properties of the sensor. O2 plasma treatment is an attractive and promising tool for rapid surface engineering. However, the potential impacts of the technique are carefully investigated for the sensors that suffer from plasma-induced damage. Herein, a LAPS with a Ta2O5 pH-sensitive surface is successfully patterned by plasma treatment, and its effects are investigated by contact angle and scanning LAPS measurements. The plasma duration of 30 s (30 W) is found to be the threshold value, where excessive wettability begins. Furthermore, this treatment approach causes moderate plasma-induced damage, which can be reduced by thermal annealing (10 min at 300 °C). These findings provide a useful guideline to support future studies, where the LAPS surface is desired to be more hydrophilic by O2 plasma treatment.}, language = {en} } @article{StaatHeitzer1997, author = {Staat, Manfred and Heitzer, M.}, title = {Limit and Shakedown Analysis Using a General Purpose Finite Element Code}, series = {Proceedings of NAFEMS World Congress '97 on Design, Simulation \& Optimisation : reliability \& applicability of computational methods ; Stuttgart, Germany, 9 - 11 April 1997}, journal = {Proceedings of NAFEMS World Congress '97 on Design, Simulation \& Optimisation : reliability \& applicability of computational methods ; Stuttgart, Germany, 9 - 11 April 1997}, publisher = {NAFEMS}, address = {Glasgow}, isbn = {1-87437-620-4}, pages = {522 -- 533}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{AkimbekovMansurovJandosovetal.2013, author = {Akimbekov, Nuraly Shardarbekovich and Mansurov, Zulkhair and Jandosov, J. and Digel, Ilya and Gossmann, Matthias and Artmann, Gerhard and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Zhubanova, Azhar A.}, title = {Wound healing activity of carbonized rice husk}, publisher = {Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland}, address = {B{\"a}ch}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The carbonized rice husk (CRH) was evaluated for its wound healing activity in rats using excision models.

The problem of bacterial contamination of inner parts of such a type of air conditioners in some cases draws attention towards alternative air-cleaning systems. Some manufacturers offer to use the ozone's bactericidal and deodorizing effects, but the wide spreading of such systems is restricted by the fact that toxic effects of ozone in respect of human beings are well known. In 2000 Sharp Inc. introduced "Plasma Cluster Ions (PCI)" air purification technology, which uses plasma discharge to generate cluster ions (I 0-14 ). This technology has been developed for those customers that are conscious about health and hygiene.

These include affecting structure and function of organs and cells, changing metabolic functions, raising body temperature, triggering the coagulation cascade, modifying hemodynamics and causing septic shock. Because of this toxicity, the removal of even minute amounts is essential for safe parenteral administration of drugs and also for septic shock patients' care. The absence of a general method for endotoxin removal from liquid interfaces urgently requires finding new methods and materials to overcome this gap. Nanostructured carbonized plant parts is a promising material that showed good adsorption properties due to its vast pore network and high surface area. The aim of this study was comparative measurement of endotoxin- and blood proteins-related adsorption rate and adsorption capacity for different carboneous materials produced at different temperatures and under different surface modifications. As a main surface modificator, positively cbarged polymer, polyethileneimine (PEl) was used. Activated carbon materials showed good adsorption properties for LPS and some proteins used in the experiments. During the batch experiments, several techniques (dust removal, autoclaving) were used and optimized for improving the material's adsorption behavior. Also, with the results obtained it was possible to differentiate the materials according to their adsorption capacity and kinetic characteristics. Modification of the surface apparently has not affected hemoglobin binding to the adsorbent's surface. Obtained adsorption isotherms can be used as a powerful tool for designing of future column-based setups for blood purification from LPS, which is especially important for septic shock treatment.}, subject = {Kohlenstofffaser}, language = {en} } @article{SeifarthSchehlLinderetal.2011, author = {Seifarth, Volker and Schehl, D. and Linder, Peter and Gossmann, Matthias and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Porst, Dariusz and Preiß, C. and Kayser, Peter and Pack, O. and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Ureplace: development of a bioreactor for in vitro culturing of cell seeded tubular vessels on collagen scaffolds}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The demand of replacements for inoperable organs exceeds the amount of available organ transplants.
