Noise formation in the biocatalytic reactions and its decrease by adding a "filter" system, converting convex to sigmoid response function, are discussed. Despite the fact that the enzyme-based logic gates are primarily considered as components of future biomolecular computing systems, their biosensing applications are promising for immediate practical use. Analytical use of the enzyme logic systems in biomedical and forensic applications is discussed and exemplified with the logic analysis of biomarkers of various injuries, e.g., liver injury, and with analysis of biomarkers characteristic of different ethnicity found in blood samples on a crime scene. Interfacing of enzyme logic systems with modified electrodes and semiconductor devices is discussed, giving particular attention to the interfaces functionalized with signal-responsive materials. Future perspectives in the design of the biomolecular logic systems and their applications are discussed in the conclusion.}, language = {en} } @article{HonarvarfardGamellaChannaveerappaetal.2017, author = {Honarvarfard, Elham and Gamella, Maria and Channaveerappa, Devika and Darie, Costel C. and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Katz, Evgeny}, title = {Electrochemically Stimulated Insulin Release from a Modified Graphene-functionalized Carbon Fiber Electrode}, series = {Electroanalysis}, volume = {29}, journal = {Electroanalysis}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-4109}, doi = {10.1002/elan.201700095}, pages = {1543 -- 1553}, year = {2017}, abstract = {A graphene-functionalized carbon fiber electrode was modified with adsorbed polyethylenimine to introduce amino functionalities and then with trigonelline and 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid covalently bound to the amino groups. The trigonelline species containing quarterized pyridine groups produced positive charge on the electrode surface regardless of the pH value, while the phenylboronic acid species were neutral below pH 8 and negatively charged above pH 9 (note that their pKa=8.4). The total charge on the monolayer-modified electrode was positive at the neutral pH and negative at pH > 9. Note that 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid was attached to the electrode surface in molar excess to trigonelline, thus allowing the negative charge to dominate on the electrode surface at basic pH. Negatively charged fluorescent dye-labeled insulin (insulin-FITC) was loaded on the modified electrode surface at pH 7.0 due to its electrostatic attraction to the positively charged interface. The local pH in close vicinity to the electrode surface was increased to ca. 9-10 due to consumption of H+ ions upon electrochemical reduction of oxygen proceeding at the potential of -1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) applied on the modified electrode. The process resulted in recharging of the electrode surface to the negative value due to the formation of the negative charge on the phenylboronic acid groups, thus resulting in the electrostatic repulsion of insulin-FITC and stimulating its release from the electrode surface. The insulin release was characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy (using the FITC-labeled insulin), by electrochemical measurements on an iridium oxide, IrOx, electrode and by mass spectrometry. The graphene-functionalized carbon fiber electrode demonstrated significant advantages in the signal-stimulated insulin release comparing with the carbon fiber electrode without the graphene species.}, language = {en} } @article{HacklWegmannKahmannetal.2017, author = {Hackl, Michael and Wegmann, Kilian and Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Heinze, Nicolai and Staat, Manfred and Neiss, Wolfram F. and Scaal, Martin and M{\"u}ller, Lars P.}, title = {Radial shortening osteotomy reduces radiocapitellar contact pressures while preserving valgus stability of the elbow}, series = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, volume = {25}, journal = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, number = {7}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1433-7347}, doi = {10.1007/s00167-017-4468-z}, pages = {2280 -- 2288}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{ZangeSchopenAlbrachtetal.2017, author = {Zange, Jochen and Schopen, Kathrin and Albracht, Kirsten and Gerlach, Darius A. and Frings-Meuthen, Petra and Maffiuletti, Nicola A. and Bloch, Wilhelm and Rittweger, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Using the Hephaistos orthotic device to study countermeasure effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and dietary lupin protein supplementation, a randomised controlled trial}, series = {Plos one}, volume = {12}, journal = {Plos one}, number = {2}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0171562}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchreiberKraftZuendorf2017, author = {Schreiber, Marc and Kraft, Bodo and Z{\"u}ndorf, Albert}, title = {Metrics Driven Research Collaboration: Focusing on Common Project Goals Continuously}, series = {39th International Conference on Software Engineering, May 20-28, 2017 - Buenos Aires, Argentina}, booktitle = {39th International Conference on Software Engineering, May 20-28, 2017 - Buenos Aires, Argentina}, pages = {8 Seiten}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Research collaborations provide opportunities for both practitioners and researchers: practitioners need solutions for difficult business challenges and researchers are looking for hard problems to solve and publish. Nevertheless, research collaborations carry the risk that practitioners focus on quick solutions too much and that researchers tackle theoretical problems, resulting in products which do not fulfill the project requirements. In this paper we introduce an approach extending the ideas of agile and lean software development. It helps practitioners and researchers keep track of their common research collaboration goal: a scientifically enriched software product which fulfills the needs of the practitioner's business model. This approach gives first-class status to application-oriented metrics that measure progress and success of a research collaboration continuously. Those metrics are derived from the collaboration requirements and help to focus on a commonly defined goal. An appropriate tool set evaluates and visualizes those metrics with minimal effort, and all participants will be pushed to focus on their tasks with appropriate effort. Thus project status, challenges and progress are transparent to all research collaboration members at any time.}, language = {en} } @incollection{DuongNguyenStaat2017, author = {Duong, Minh Tuan and Nguyen, Nhu Huynh and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Physical response of hyperelastic models for composite materials and soft tissues}, series = {Advances in Composite Material}, booktitle = {Advances in Composite Material}, publisher = {Scientific Research Publishing}, address = {Wuhan}, isbn = {978-1-61896-300-0 (Hardcover), 978-1-61896-299-7 (Paperback)}, pages = {316}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchreiberKraftZuendorf2017, author = {Schreiber, Marc and Kraft, Bodo and Z{\"u}ndorf, Albert}, title = {Metrics driven research collaboration: focusing on common project goals continuously}, series = {Proceedings : 2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Industrial Practice : SER\&IP 2017 : 21 May 2017 Buenos Aires, Argentina}, booktitle = {Proceedings : 2017 IEEE/ACM 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering Research and Industrial Practice : SER\&IP 2017 : 21 May 2017 Buenos Aires, Argentina}, editor = {Bilof, Randall}, publisher = {IEEE Press}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-5386-2797-6}, doi = {10.1109/SER-IP.2017..6}, pages = {41 -- 47}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{GamellaZakharchenkoGuzetal.2017, author = {Gamella, Maria and Zakharchenko, Andrey and Guz, Nataliia and Masi, Madeline and Minko, Sergiy and Kolpashchikov, Dmitry M. and Iken, Heiko and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Katz, Evgeny}, title = {DNA computing system activated by electrochemically triggered DNA realease from a polymer-brush-modified electrode array}, series = {Electroanalysis}, volume = {29}, journal = {Electroanalysis}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-4109}, doi = {10.1002/elan.201600389}, pages = {398 -- 408}, year = {2017}, abstract = {An array of four independently wired indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes was used for electrochemically stimulated DNA release and activation of DNA-based Identity, AND and XOR logic gates. Single-stranded DNA molecules were loaded on the mixed poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA)/poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brush covalently attached to the ITO electrodes. The DNA deposition was performed at pH 5.0 when the polymer brush is positively charged due to protonation of tertiary amino groups in PDMAEMA, thus resulting in electrostatic attraction of the negatively charged DNA. By applying electrolysis at -1.0 V(vs. Ag/AgCl reference) electrochemical oxygen reduction resulted in the consumption of hydrogen ions and local pH increase near the electrode surface. The process resulted in recharging the polymer brush to the negative state due to dissociation of carboxylic groups of PMAA, thus repulsing the negatively charged DNA and releasing it from the electrode surface. The DNA release was performed in various combinations from different electrodes in the array assembly. The released DNA operated as input signals for activation of the Boolean logic gates. The developed system represents a step forward in DNA computing, combining for the first time DNA chemical processes with electronic input signals.}, language = {en} } @article{SousaSiqueiraVerciketal.2017, author = {Sousa, Marcos A.

With a simple silicon-based structure, EIS have been useful for several sensing applications, especially with incorporation of nanostructured films to modulate the ionic transport and the flat-band potential. In this paper, we report on ion transport and changes in flat-band potential in EIS sensors made with layer-by-layer films containing poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) adsorbed on p-Si/SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 5 chips with an Al ohmic contact. The impedance spectra were fitted using an equivalent circuit model, from which we could determine parameters such as the double-layer capacitance. This capacitance decreased with the number of bilayers owing to space charge accumulated at the electrolyte-insulator interface, up to three PAMAM/SWNTs bilayers, after which it stabilized. The charge-transfer resistance was also minimum for three bilayers, thus indicating that this is the ideal architecture for an optimized EIS performance. The understanding of the influence of nanostructures and the fine control of operation parameters pave the way for optimizing the design and performance of new EIS sensors.}, language = {en} } @article{YoshinobuMiyamotoWerneretal.2017, author = {Yoshinobu, Tatsuo and Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Werner, Frederik and Poghossian, Arshak and Wagner, Torsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Light-addressable potentiometric sensors for quantitative spatial imaging of chemical species}, series = {Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry}, volume = {10}, journal = {Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry}, publisher = {Annual Reviews}, address = {Palo Alto, Calif.}, issn = {1936-1327}, doi = {10.1146/annurev-anchem-061516-045158}, pages = {225 -- 246}, year = {2017}, abstract = {A light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) is a semiconductor-based chemical sensor, in which a measurement site on the sensing surface is defined by illumination.

In this review, the features of this chemical imaging sensor technology are compared with those of other technologies. Instrumentation, principles of operation, and various measurement modes of chemical imaging sensor systems are described. The review discusses and summarizes state-of-the-art technologies, especially with regard to the spatial resolution and measurement speed; for example, a high spatial resolution in a submicron range and a readout speed in the range of several tens of thousands of pixels per second have been achieved with the LAPS.
