The proposed device detects charge changes on Au-NP/DNA hybrids induced by the hybridization or denaturation event. DNA hybridization was performed in a high ionic-strength solution to provide a high hybridization efficiency. On the other hand, to reduce the screening of the DNA charge by counter ions and to achieve a high sensitivity, the sensor signal induced by the hybridization and denaturation events was measured in a low ionic-strength solution. High sensor signals of about 120, 90, and 80 mV were registered after the DNA hybridization, denaturation, and re-hybridization events, respectively. Fluorescence microscopy has been applied as reference method to verify the DNA immobilization, hybridization, and denaturation processes. An electrostatic charge-plane model for potential changes at the gate surface of a nanoplate field-effect sensor induced by the DNA hybridization has been developed taking into account both the Debye length and the distance of the DNA charge from the gate surface.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AchenbachGeimerLynenetal.2012, author = {Achenbach, Timm and Geimer, Konstantin and Lynen, Arthur and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard}, title = {Simulation of thermo-mechanical processes in open volumetric absorber modules}, series = {SolarPaces 2012 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : Sept. 11 - 14 2012, Marrakech, Marokko}, booktitle = {SolarPaces 2012 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : Sept. 11 - 14 2012, Marrakech, Marokko}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{AggarwalDhimanKumaretal.2012, author = {Aggarwal, P. and Dhiman, S. and Kumar, G. and Scherer, Ulrich W. and Singla, M.

A way to solve these problems is the production of biogas. Biogas is a combustible gas consisting of methane, carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases and trace elements. Production of biogas through anaerobic digestion of animal manure and slurries as well as of a wide range of digestible organic wastes and agricultural residues, converts these substrates into electricity and heat and offers a natural fertiliser for agriculture. The microbiological process of decomposition of organic matter, in the absence of oxygen takes place in reactors, called digesters. Biogas can be used as a fuel in a gas turbine or burner and can be used in a hybrid solar tower system offering a solution for waste treatment of agricultural and animal residues. A solar tower system consists of a heliostat field, which concentrates direct solar irradiation on an open volumetric central receiver. The receiver heats up ambient air to temperatures of around 700°C. The hot air's heat energy is transferred to a steam Rankine cycle in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The steam drives a steam turbine, which in turn drives a generator for producing electricity. In order to increase the operational hours of a solar tower power plant, a heat storage system and/ or hybridization may be considered. The advantage of solar-fossil hybrid power plants, compared to solar-only systems, lies in low additional investment costs due to an adaptable solar share and reduced technical and economical risks. On sunny days the hybrid system operates in a solar-only mode with the central receiver and on cloudy days and at night with the gas turbine only. As an alternative to methane gas, environmentally neutral biogas can be used for operating the gas turbine. Hence, the hybrid system is operated to 100\% from renewable energy sources}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlexopoulosHoffschmidtRauetal.2012, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Rau, Christoph and Sattler, Johannes, Christoph}, title = {Simulation of hybrid solar tower power plants}, series = {30th ISES Biennial Solar World Congress 2011 : Kassel, Germany, 28 August - 2 September 2011.
