We, therefore, developed a fully automated system comprising a specific exhaust gas analyzer, inline analytics and a corresponding algorithm to precisely determine the oxygen uptake rate, carbon dioxide evolution rate, carbon dioxide transfer rate, transfer quotient and respiratory quotient without interrupting the ongoing cultivation, in order to assess its reproducibility. The system was verified using chemical simulation experiments and was able to measure the respiratory activity of hybridoma cells and DG44 cells (derived from Chinese hamster ovary cells) with satisfactory results at a minimum viable cell density of ~2.0 × 10⁵ cells ml⁻¹. The system was suitable for both batch and fed-batch cultivations in bubble-aerated and membrane-aerated reactors, with and without the control of pH and dissolved oxygen.}, language = {en} } @article{BandodkarMolinnusMirzaetal.2014, author = {Bandodkar, Amay J. and Molinnus, Denise and Mirza, Omar and Guinovart, Tomas and Windmiller, Joshua R. and Valdes-Ramirez, Gabriela and Andrade, Francisco J. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Wang, Joseph}, title = {Epidermal tattoo potentiometric sodium sensors with wireless signal transduction for continuous non-invasive sweat monitoring}, series = {Biosensors and bioelectronics}, volume = {54}, journal = {Biosensors and bioelectronics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-4235 (E-Journal); 0956-5663 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.bios.2013.11.039}, pages = {603 -- 609}, year = {2014}, abstract = {This article describes the fabrication, characterization and application of an epidermal temporary-transfer tattoo-based potentiometric sensor, coupled with a miniaturized wearable wireless transceiver, for real-time monitoring of sodium in the human perspiration. Sodium excreted during perspiration is an excellent marker for electrolyte imbalance and provides valuable information regarding an individual's physical and mental wellbeing. The realization of the new skin-worn non-invasive tattoo-like sensing device has been realized by amalgamating several state-of-the-art thick film, laser printing, solid-state potentiometry, fluidics and wireless technologies. The resulting tattoo-based potentiometric sodium sensor displays a rapid near-Nernstian response with negligible carryover effects, and good resiliency against various mechanical deformations experienced by the human epidermis. On-body testing of the tattoo sensor coupled to a wireless transceiver during exercise activity demonstrated its ability to continuously monitor sweat sodium dynamics. The real-time sweat sodium concentration was transmitted wirelessly via a body-worn transceiver from the sodium tattoo sensor to a notebook while the subjects perspired on a stationary cycle. The favorable analytical performance along with the wearable nature of the wireless transceiver makes the new epidermal potentiometric sensing system attractive for continuous monitoring the sodium dynamics in human perspiration during diverse activities relevant to the healthcare, fitness, military, healthcare and skin-care domains.}, language = {en} } @article{Dikta2014, author = {Dikta, Gerhard}, title = {Asymptotically efficient estimation under semi-parametric random censorship models}, series = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, volume = {124}, journal = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1095-7243 (E-Journal); 0047-259X (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmva.2013.10.002}, pages = {10 -- 24}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We study the estimation of some linear functionals which are based on an unknown lifetime distribution. The observations are assumed to be generated under the semi-parametric random censorship model (SRCM), that is, a random censorship model where the conditional expectation of the censoring indicator given the observation belongs to a parametric family. Under this setup a semi-parametric estimator of the survival function was introduced by the author. If the parametric model assumption is correct, it is known that the estimated functional which is based on this semi-parametric estimator is asymptotically at least as efficient as the corresponding one which rests on the nonparametric Kaplan-Meier estimator. In this paper we show that the estimated functional which is based on this semi-parametric estimator is asymptotically efficient with respect to the class of all regular estimators under this semi-parametric model.}, language = {en} } @article{HeinzeMangPeteretal.2014, author = {Heinze, Daniel and Mang, Thomas and Peter, Karin and M{\"o}ller, Martin and Weichold, Oliver}, title = {Synthesis of low molecular weight poly(vinyl acetate) and its application as plasticizer}, series = {Journal of applied polymer science}, volume = {131}, journal = {Journal of applied polymer science}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {New York}, issn = {1097-4628 (E-Journal); 0021-8995 (Print)}, doi = {10.1002/app.40226}, pages = {Article No. 40226}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Poly(vinyl acetate), PVAc, with a degree of polymerization Xn = 10 was prepared by chain-transfer radical polymerization using carbon tetrachloride and used as oligomeric plasticizer for commercial PVAc. However, the chlorinated chain ends cause a low thermal stability requiring mild Cl/H substitution. The product exhibits high thermal stability and excellent melt-compounding properties. Blends of oligomeric and commercial PVAc show single glass transition temperatures which decrease with higher oligomer content and exhibit small negative deviations from Fox' linear additivity rule. This indicates plasticization and miscibility being mainly due to entropic effects. Injection-moulded thick specimens show ductile behaviour at oligomer contents >10 wt \%, while sheets with a thickness of 0.2-0.5 mm appear flexible already at 7.5 wt \%. The oxygen permeability coefficients are an order of magnitude lower than those of low-density polyethylene. Due to the sum of their properties, the plasticized sheets present a promising alternative in the preparation of barrier materials.}, language = {en} } @book{BirleKleinMueller2014, author = {Birle, J{\"u}rgen P. and Klein, Hartmut and M{\"u}ller, Thomas}, title = {Praxishandbuch der GmbH : Gesellschafts- und Steuerrecht}, edition = {3.

Laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry facilitated successful examinations of NOM, as humic and fulvic acids in NOM are readily ionized by the nitrogen laser. In this study, hydrophobic NOMs (HPO NOMs) from river, reservoir and waste water were characterized by this technique. The effect of analytical variables like concentration, solvent composition and laser energy was investigated. The exact masses of small molecular NOM moieties in the range of 200-1200 m/z were determined in reflectron mode. In addition, spectra of post-source-decay experiments in this range showed that some compounds from different natural NOMs had the same fragmental ions. In the large mass range of 1200-15 000 Da, macromolecules and their aggregates were found in HPO NOMs from natural waters. Highly humic HPO exhibited mass peaks larger than 8000 Da. On the other hand, the waste water and reservoir water mainly had relatively smaller molecules of about 2000 Da. The LDI-MS measurements indicated that highly humic river waters were able to form large aggregates and membrane foulants, while the HPO NOMs from waste water and reservoir water were unlikely to form large aggregates.
