For that, the reference stress has to be known. Since a complex technical product may fail regarding numerous failure modes, stress in general is highly dimensional rather than scalar. In addition, customers use their products individually, i.e. field operation should be described by a distribution rather than by one scalar stress value. In this paper, a way to span the customer usage space is shown. It allows the identification of worst case reference stress profiles in significantly reduced dimensions with minimal loss of information. The application example shows that even for a complex product like a combustion engine, stress information can be compressed significantly.

Insights into plant adjustments to changing environmental conditions have mainly been obtained through structural and functional comparative studies between taxa or within taxa on contrasting sites or along environmental gradients. Yet, a gap exists regarding the study of hydraulic adjustments in response to environmental changes over the lifetimes of plants. In trees, dated tree-ring series are often exploited to reconstruct dynamics in ecological conditions, and recent work in which wood-anatomical variables have been used in dendrochronology has produced promising results. Environmental signals identified in water-conducting cells carry novel information reflecting changes in regional conditions and are mostly related to short, sub-annual intervals. Although the idea of investigating environmental signals through wood anatomical time series goes back to the 1960s, it is only recently that low-cost computerized image-analysis systems have enabled increased scientific output in this field. We believe that the study of tree-ring anatomy is emerging as a promising approach in tree biology and climate change research, particularly if complemented by physiological and ecological studies.

This has been explained by the persisting hypertension and alterations in the peripheral vessels. However, involvement of the central vessels such as the retinal arteries is virtually unknown. A total of 34 patients after coarctation repair (22 men and 12 women; 23 to 58 years old, age range 0 to 32 years at surgical repair) and 34 nonhypertensive controls underwent structural and functional retinal vessel analysis. Using structural analysis, the vessel diameters were measured. Using functional analysis, the endothelium-dependent vessel dilation in response to flicker light stimulation was assessed. In the patients after coarctation repair, the retinal arteriolar diameter was significantly reduced compared to that of the controls (median 182 μm, first to third quartile 171 to 197; vs 197 μm, first to third quartile 193 to 206; p <0.001). These findings were independent of the peripheral blood pressure and age at intervention. No differences were found for venules. The functional analysis findings were not different between the patients and controls (maximum dilation 3.5\%, first to third quartile 2.1\% to 4.5\% vs 3.6\%, first to third quartile 2.2\% to 4.3\%; p = 0.81), indicating preserved autoregulative mechanisms. In conclusion, the retinal artery diameter is reduced in patients after coarctation repair, independent of their current blood pressure level and age at intervention. As a structural marker of chronic vessel damage associated with past, current, or future hypertension, retinal arteriolar narrowing has been linked to stroke incidence. These results indicate an involvement of cerebral microcirculation in aortic coarctation, despite timely repair, and might contribute to explain the increased rate of cerebrovascular events in such patients.}, language = {en} } @article{HorstmannBialonskiNoenningetal.2010, author = {Horstmann, Marie-Therese and Bialonski, Stephan and Noenning, Nina and Mai, Heinke and Prusseit, Jens and Wellmer, J{\"o}rg and Hinrichs, Hermann and Lehnertz, Klaus}, title = {State dependent properties of epileptic brain networks: Comparative graph-theoretical analyses of simultaneously recorded EEG and MEG}, series = {Clinical Neurophysiology}, volume = {121}, journal = {Clinical Neurophysiology}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1388-2457}, doi = {10.1016/j.clinph.2009.10.013}, pages = {172 -- 185}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Objective To investigate whether functional brain networks of epilepsy patients treated with antiepileptic medication differ from networks of healthy controls even during the seizure-free interval. Methods We applied different rules to construct binary and weighted networks from EEG and MEG data recorded under a resting-state eyes-open and eyes-closed condition from 21 epilepsy patients and 23 healthy controls. The average shortest path length and the clustering coefficient served as global statistical network characteristics. Results Independent on the behavioral condition, epileptic brains exhibited a more regular functional network structure. Similarly, the eyes-closed condition was characterized by a more regular functional network structure in both groups. The amount of network reorganization due to behavioral state changes was similar in both groups. Consistent findings could be achieved for networks derived from EEG but hardly from MEG recordings, and network construction rules had a rather strong impact on our findings. Conclusions Despite the locality of the investigated processes epileptic brain networks differ in their global characteristics from non-epileptic brain networks. Further methodological developments are necessary to improve the characterization of disturbed and normal functional networks.

Few studies have been published on possible cognitive effects of MRI examinations. The aim of this study was to examine whether changes are measurable after MRI examinations at 1.5 and 7 T by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Materials and Methods TMS was performed in 12 healthy, right-handed male volunteers. First the individual motor threshold was specified, and then the cortical silent period (SP) was measured. Subsequently, the volunteers were exposed to the 1.5-T MRI scanner for 63 minutes using standard sequences. The MRI examination was immediately followed by another TMS session. Fifteen minutes later, TMS was repeated. Four weeks later, the complete setting was repeated using a 7-T scanner. Control conditions included lying in the 1.5-T scanner for 63 minutes without scanning and lying in a separate room for 63 minutes. TMS was performed in the same way in each case. For statistical analysis, Wilcoxon's rank test was performed. Results Immediately after MRI exposure, the SP was highly significantly prolonged in all 12 subjects at 1.5 and 7 T. The motor threshold was significantly increased. Fifteen minutes after the examination, the measured value tended toward normal again. Control conditions revealed no significant differences. Conclusion MRI examinations lead to a transient and highly significant alteration in cortical excitability. This effect does not seem to depend on the strength of the static magnetic field.}, language = {en} } @article{ReisgenSchleserMokrovetal.2010, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Mokrov, Oleg and Ahmed, Essam}, title = {Shielding gas influences on laser weldability of tailored blanks of advanced automotive steels}, series = {Applied surface science}, volume = {257}, journal = {Applied surface science}, number = {5}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0169-4332 (E-Journal); 0169-4332 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.apsusc.2010.08.042}, pages = {1401 -- 1406}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The effects of shielding gas types and flow rates on CO2 laser weldability of DP600/TRIP700 steel sheets were studied in this work.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the reproducibility of fascicle length and pennation angle of gastrocnemius medialis in vivo during human gait. Twelve males performed 10 gait trials on a treadmill, in 2 separate days. B-mode ultrasonography, with the ultrasound probe firmly adjusted in the transverse and frontal planes using a special cast, was used to measure the fascicle length and the pennation angle of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM). A Vicon 624 system with three cameras operating at 120 Hz was also used to record the ankle and knee joint angles. The results showed that measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle showed high reproducibility during the gait cycle, both within the same day and between different days. Moreover, the root mean square differences between the repeated waveforms of both variables were very small, compared with their ranges (fascicle length: RMS = ∼3 mm, range: 38-63 mm; pennation angle: RMS = ∼1.5°, range: 22-32°). However, their reproducibility was lower compared to the joint angles. It was found that representative data have to be derived by a wide number of gait trials (fascicle length ∼six trials, pennation angle more than 10 trials), to assure the reliability of the fascicle length and pennation angle in human gait.}, language = {en} } @article{VogtMottaghyWolfetal.2010, author = {Vogt, C. and Mottaghy, Darius and Wolf, A. and Rath, V. and Pechnig, R. and Clauser, C.}, title = {Reducing temperature uncertainties by stochastic geothermal reservoir modelling}, series = {Geophysical Journal International}, volume = {181}, journal = {Geophysical Journal International}, number = {1}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1365-246X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1365-246X.2009.04498.x}, pages = {321 -- 333}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Quantifying and minimizing uncertainty is vital for simulating technically and economically successful geothermal reservoirs. To this end, we apply a stochastic modelling sequence, a Monte Carlo study, based on (i) creating an ensemble of possible realizations of a reservoir model, (ii) forward simulation of fluid flow and heat transport, and (iii) constraining post-processing using observed state variables. To generate the ensemble, we use the stochastic algorithm of Sequential Gaussian Simulation and test its potential fitting rock properties, such as thermal conductivity and permeability, of a synthetic reference model and—performing a corresponding forward simulation—state variables such as temperature. The ensemble yields probability distributions of rock properties and state variables at any location inside the reservoir. In addition, we perform a constraining post-processing in order to minimize the uncertainty of the obtained distributions by conditioning the ensemble to observed state variables, in this case temperature. This constraining post-processing works particularly well on systems dominated by fluid flow. The stochastic modelling sequence is applied to a large, steady-state 3-D heat flow model of a reservoir in The Hague, Netherlands. The spatial thermal conductivity distribution is simulated stochastically based on available logging data. Errors of bottom-hole temperatures provide thresholds for the constraining technique performed afterwards. This reduce the temperature uncertainty for the proposed target location significantly from 25 to 12 K (full distribution width) in a depth of 2300 m. Assuming a Gaussian shape of the temperature distribution, the standard deviation is 1.8 K. To allow a more comprehensive approach to quantify uncertainty, we also implement the stochastic simulation of boundary conditions and demonstrate this for the basal specific heat flow in the reservoir of The Hague. As expected, this results in a larger distribution width and hence, a larger, but more realistic uncertainty estimate. However, applying the constraining post-processing the uncertainty is again reduced to the level of the post-processing without stochastic boundary simulation. Thus, constraining post-processing is a suitable tool for reducing uncertainty estimates by observed state variables.}, language = {en} } @article{KirchnerOberlaenderFriedrichetal.2010, author = {Kirchner, Patrick and Oberl{\"a}nder, Jan and Friedrich, Peter and Rysstad, G. and Berger, J. and Keusgen, M. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Realization of a calorimetric gas sensor on polyimide foil for applications in aseptic food industry}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {264 -- 267}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{KirchnerSpelthahnSchoeningetal.2010, author = {Kirchner, Patrick and Spelthahn, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Henkel, H. and Schneider, A. and Friedrich, P. and Kolstad, J. and Berger, J.}, title = {Realisierung eines Polyimid-basierten kalorimetrischen Gassensors zur Inline-{\"U}berwachung der H2O2-Konzentration in aseptischen Abf{\"u}llanlagen}, series = {Sensoren und Messsysteme 2010 [Elektronische Ressource] : Vortr{\"a}ge der 15.

Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain.

A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to construct hazard scenarios which involve the careful specification of initial conditions (release zone location and dimensions) and definition of appropriate friction parameters. The interpretation of simulation results requires an understanding of the numerical solution schemes and easy to use visualization tools. We discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with accurate second-order numerical solution schemes. The model allows the specification of multiple release zones in three-dimensional terrain. Snow cover entrainment is considered. Furthermore, two different flow rheologies can be applied: the standard Voellmy-Salm (VS) approach or a random kinetic energy (RKE) model, which accounts for the random motion and inelastic interaction between snow granules.

The participants exercised one leg at low magnitude tendon strain (2.97±0.47\%), and the other leg at high tendon strain magnitude (4.72±1.08\%) of similar frequency (0.5 Hz, 1 s loading, 1 s relaxation) and exercise volume (integral of the plantar flexion moment over time) for 14 weeks, 4 days per week, 5 sets per session. The exercise volume was similar to the intervention of our earlier study (0.17 Hz frequency; 3 s loading, 3 s relaxation) allowing a direct comparison of the results. Before and after the intervention ankle joint moment has been measured by a dynamometer, tendon-aponeurosis elongation by ultrasound and cross-sectional area of the Achilles tendon by magnet resonance images (MRI). We found a decrease in strain at a given tendon force, an increase in tendon-aponeurosis stiffness and tendon elastic modulus of the Achilles tendon only in the leg exercised at high strain magnitude. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the Achilles tendon did not show any statistically significant (P>0.05) differences to the pre-exercise values in both legs. The results indicate a superior improvement in tendon properties (stiffness, elastic modulus and CSA) at the low frequency (0.17 Hz) compared to the high strain frequency (0.5 Hz) protocol.

Focus lies on the resource-conserving design of a microbal denitrification process. Two methods are compared.

These strains can efficiently secrete proteins into the culture medium using the general secretion (Sec) pathway. A characteristic feature of all secreted proteins is their N-terminal signal peptides, which are recognized by the secretion machinery. Here, we have studied the production of an industrially important secreted protease, namely, subtilisin BPN′ from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. One hundred seventy-three signal peptides originating from B. subtilis and 220 signal peptides from the B. licheniformis type strain were fused to this secretion target and expressed in B. subtilis, and the resulting library was analyzed by high-throughput screening for extracellular proteolytic activity. We have identified a number of signal peptides originating from both organisms which produced significantly increased yield of the secreted protease. Interestingly, we observed that levels of extracellular protease were improved not only in B. subtilis, which was used as the screening host, but also in two different B. licheniformis strains. To date, it is impossible to predict which signal peptide will result in better secretion and thus an improved yield of a given extracellular target protein. Our data show that screening a library consisting of homologous and heterologous signal peptides fused to a target protein can identify more-effective signal peptides, resulting in improved protein export not only in the original screening host but also in different production strains.}, language = {en} } @article{KernKloetersPferdemenges2010, author = {Kern, Alexander and Kl{\"o}ters, Georg and Pferdemenges, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Optimised protection against lightning for the signalling and safety systems of level crossings on non-electrified railway lines}, series = {RTR : European Rail Technology Review}, volume = {50}, journal = {RTR : European Rail Technology Review}, number = {2}, isbn = {0079-9548}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{SrivastavaSinghAggarwaletal.2010, author = {Srivastava, A. and Singh, V. and Aggarwal, P. and Schneeweiss, F. and Scherer, Ulrich W. and Friedrich, W.}, title = {Optical studies of insulating polymers for radiation dose monitoring}, series = {Indian Journal of Pure \& Applied Physics}, volume = {48}, journal = {Indian Journal of Pure \& Applied Physics}, number = {11}, isbn = {0019-5596}, pages = {782 -- 786}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauer2010, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {On the Way to High-Level Programming for Resource-Limited Embedded Systems with Golog}, series = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, journal = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, pages = {229 -- 240}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{AhmedReisgenSchleseretal.2010, author = {Ahmed, Essam and Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Mokrov, Oleg}, title = {On formability of tailor laser welded blanks of DP/TRIP steel sheets}, series = {Science and technology of welding and joining}, volume = {15}, journal = {Science and technology of welding and joining}, number = {5}, publisher = {Maney}, address = {Leeds}, issn = {1743-2936}, doi = {10.1179/136217110X12731414739754}, pages = {337 -- 342}, year = {2010}, abstract = {This paper aims to evaluate the formability of tailor welded blanks of dual phase (DP600)/transformation induced plasticity (TRIP700) steel sheets.

It generalises the method proposed by Liao et al. (Bochev et al., 1996; Cai et al., 2004; Liao and Anderson, 1992) [4], [6], [20]. In this article, we employ the BDM as core of a new multilevel deformation method (MDM) which leads to vast improvements regarding robustness, accuracy and speed. We achieve this by splitting up the deformation process in a sequence of easier subproblems and by exploiting grid hierarchy. Being of optimal asymptotic complexity, we experience speed-ups up to a factor of 15 in our test cases compared to the BDM. This gives our MDM the potential for tackling large grids and time-dependent problems, where possibly the grid must be dynamically deformed once per time step according to the user's needs. Moreover, we elaborate on implementational aspects, in particular efficient grid searching, which is a key ingredient of the BDM.}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerMiyamotoSchoeningetal.2010, author = {Wagner, Torsten and Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Novel combination of digital light processing (DLP) and light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) for flexible chemical imaging}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {520 -- 523}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Hillgaertner2010, author = {Hillg{\"a}rtner, Michael}, title = {Normative Regulations}, series = {ECPE Cluster Seminar EMC in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles : 18 May 2010, Fraunhofer Institute Erlangen}, journal = {ECPE Cluster Seminar EMC in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles : 18 May 2010, Fraunhofer Institute Erlangen}, publisher = {European Center for Power Electronics}, address = {N{\"u}rnberg}, pages = {1 CD-ROM}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{BlomeChiconeHehletal.2010, author = {Blome, Hans-Joachim and Chicone, Carmen and Hehl, Friedrich W. and Mashhoon, Bahram}, title = {Nonlocal modification of Newtonian gravity}, series = {Physical Review D}, volume = {81}, journal = {Physical Review D}, number = {6}, isbn = {0556-2821}, pages = {065020}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Helmig2010, author = {Helmig, Ilka}, title = {Nitty - fontnames illustrated}, series = {Slanted}, journal = {Slanted}, number = {11}, publisher = {Slanted Publishers}, address = {Karlsruhe}, issn = {1867-6510}, pages = {68 -- 69}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{ButenwegGellertSchlundt2010, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Gellert, Christoph and Schlundt, Andreas}, title = {Nichtlinearer Erdbebennachweis von Geb{\"a}uden aus Kalksandsteinmauerwerk nach DIN EN 1998}, series = {Mauerwerk : European journal of masonry}, volume = {14}, journal = {Mauerwerk : European journal of masonry}, number = {3}, publisher = {Ernst \& Sohn}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1432-3427}, doi = {10.1002/dama.201000463}, pages = {120 -- 125}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Die Erdbebensicherheit von Geb{\"a}uden aus Kalksandsteinmauerwerk ist aktuell nach DIN 4149 mit linearen Verfahren nachzuweisen.

Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) seems to play an important role in the mortality dynamics of Scots pines, but how mistletoes promote pine decline remains unclear. To verify whether pine mistletoe infection weakens the host via crown degradation, as observed for dwarf mistletoes, we studied the negative effects of pine mistletoe infestation on the photosynthetic tissues and branch growth of pairs of infested and non-infested branches. Pine mistletoe infection leads to crown degradation in its host by reducing the length, the radial increment, the ramification, the needle length and the number of needle years of the infested branches. This massive loss in photosynthetic tissue results in a reduction in primary production and a subsequent decrease in carbohydrate availability. The significant reduction in needle length due to mistletoe infection is an indication for a lower water and nutrient availability in infested branches. Thus, mistletoe infection might lead to a decrease in the availability of water and carbohydrates, the two most important growth factors, which are already shortened due to the chronic drought situation in the area. Therefore, pine mistletoe increases the risk of drought-induced mortality of its host when growing in a xeric environment.}, language = {en} } @article{MaiwaldDachwald2010, author = {Maiwald, Volker and Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Mission Design for a Multiple-Rendezvous Mission to Jupiter's Trojans}, pages = {3}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{MiyamotoKanekoMatsuoetal.2010, author = {Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Kaneko, Kazumi and Matsuo, Akira and Wagner, Torsten and Kanoh, Shin`ichiro and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Miniaturized chemical imaging sensor system using an OLED display panel}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {516 -- 519}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Timme2010, author = {Timme, Michael}, title = {Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung durch den bisherigen Vermieter?}, series = {MDR Monatsschrift f{\"u}r Deutsches Recht. 30 (2010), H. 2}, journal = {MDR Monatsschrift f{\"u}r Deutsches Recht. 30 (2010), H. 2}, isbn = {0340-1812}, pages = {60 -- 61}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{KotliarNagelVilseretal.2010, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Nagel, Edgar and Vilser, Walthard and Seidova, Seid-Fatima and Lanzl, Ines}, title = {Microstructural alterations of retinal arterial blood column along the vessel axis in systemic hypertension}, series = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS}, volume = {51}, journal = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS}, number = {4}, publisher = {ARVO}, address = {Rockville, Md.}, issn = {0146-0404}, doi = {10.1167/iovs.09-3649}, pages = {2165 -- 2172}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Purpose: Image analysis by the retinal vessel analyzer (RVA) observes retinal vessels in their dynamic state online noninvasively along a chosen vessel segment. It has been found that high-frequency diameter changes in the retinal artery blood column along the vessel increase significantly in anamnestically healthy volunteers with increasing age and in patients with glaucoma during vascular dilation. This study was undertaken to investigate whether longitudinal sections of the retinal artery blood column are altered in systemic hypertension. Methods: Retinal arteries of 15 untreated patients with essential arterial hypertension (age, 50.9 ± 11.9 years) and of 15 age-matched anamnestically healthy volunteers were examined by RVA. After baseline assessment, a monochromatic luminance flicker (530-600 nm; 12.5 Hz; 20 s) was applied to evoke retinal vasodilation. Differences in amplitude and frequency of spatial artery blood column diameter change along segments (longitudinal arterial profiles) of 1 mm in length were measured and analyzed using Fourier transformation. Results: In the control group, average reduced power spectra (ARPS) of longitudinal arterial profiles did not differ when arteries changed from constriction to dilation. In the systemic hypertension group, ARPS during constriction, baseline, and restoration were identical and differed from ARPS during dilation (P < 0.05). Longitudinal arterial profiles in both groups showed significant dissimilitude at baseline and restoration (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The retinal artery blood column demonstrates microstructural alterations in systemic hypertension and is less irregular along the vessel axis during vessel dilation. These microstructural changes may be an indication of alterations in vessel wall rigidity, vascular endothelial function, and smooth muscle cells in this disease, leading to impaired perfusion and regulation.}, language = {en} } @article{ReisgenSchleserJerabeketal.2010, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Jerabek, Jakub and Chudoba, Rostislav}, title = {Messung der Strahlqualit{\"a}t einer Elektronenstrahlanlage in Umgebungsatmosph{\"a}re}, series = {Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik}, volume = {41}, journal = {Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-4052}, pages = {45 -- 52}, year = {2010}, abstract = {In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat das Elektronenstrahlschweißen, das bereits im gr{\"o}ßeren Maßstab verwendet wird, seine F{\"a}higkeit als qualitatives Werkzeug f{\"u}r die Verbindung verschiedener Materialen nachgewiesen.

So far functional imaging studies have yielded inconclusive results. Therefore, we tested this hypothesis in healthy alexithymics and nonalexithymics in an event-related fMRI study. Methods: Thirty high- and 30 low-alexithymic right-handed male subjects (selected by the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, TAS-20) were investigated with event-related fMRI using a picture viewing paradigm. The stimuli consisted of happy, fearful and neutral facial expressions (Ekman-Friesen) as well as positive, negative and neutral pictures from the International Affective Picture System. Results: Contrasting the high-alexithymic with the low-alexithymic group we observed increased activation of the supragenual ACC for different emotional valences as well as for different emotional stimuli. Moreover, there was a positive correlation of the ACC with the individual TAS-20 scores but no correlations with the individual Beck Depression Inventory scores. Additionally, there was no difference in activity of the amygdala. Conclusions: We demonstrated that the supragenual ACC is constantly activated more strongly in alexithymic subjects and that this activation is related to the symptoms of alexithymia and not to associated symptoms such as depression. Therefore, our findings support the hypothesis of an altered function of the ACC in alexithymia.}, language = {en} } @article{Digel2010, author = {Digel, Ilya}, title = {In-situ biological decontamination of an ice melting probe}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{ScheerRossKapelyukhetal.2010, author = {Scheer, Nico and Ross, Jillian and Kapelyukh, Yury and Rode, Anja and Wolf, C.

It can bind and activate the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which plays a critical role as xenobiotic sensor in mammals to induce the expression of many enzymes, including cytochromes P450 in the CYP3A family. This induction results in its own metabolism. We have used a series of transgenic mouse lines, including a novel, improved humanized PXR line, to compare the induction profile of PXR-regulated drug-metabolizing enzymes after DEX administration, as well as looking at hepatic responses to rifampicin (RIF). The new humanized PXR model has uncovered further intriguing differences between the human and mouse receptors in that RIF only induced Cyp2b10 in the new humanized model. DEX was found to be a much more potent inducer of Cyp3a proteins in wild-type mice than in mice humanized for PXR. To assess whether PXR is involved in the detoxification of DEX in the liver, we analyzed the consequences of high doses of the glucocorticoid on hepatotoxicity on different PXR genetic backgrounds. We also studied these effects in an additional mouse model in which functional mouse Cyp3a genes have been deleted. These strains exhibited different sensitivities to DEX, indicating a protective role of the PXR and CYP3A proteins against the hepatotoxicity of this compound.}, language = {en} } @article{Schermutzki2010, author = {Schermutzki, Margret}, title = {In Modulen lehren, lernen und pr{\"u}fen}, series = {In Modulen lehren, lernen und pr{\"u}fen.

Increased cell proliferation is implicated in the mechanism of tumor induction. The relevance of these tumors to human health is unclear. The xenoreceptors, constitutive androstane receptors (CARs), and pregnane X receptor (PXR) play key roles in these processes. Novel "humanized" and knockout models for both receptors were developed to investigate potential species differences in hepatomegaly. The effects of PB (80 mg/kg/4 days) and chlordane (10 mg/kg/4 days) were investigated in double humanized PXR and CAR (huPXR/huCAR), double knockout PXR and CAR (PXRKO/CARKO), and wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice. In WT mice, both compounds caused increased liver weight, hepatocellular hypertrophy, and cell proliferation. Both compounds caused alterations to a number of cell cycle genes consistent with induction of cell proliferation in WT mice. However, these gene expression changes did not occur in PXRKO/CARKO or huPXR/huCAR mice. Liver hypertrophy without hyperplasia was demonstrated in the huPXR/huCAR animals in response to both compounds. Induction of the CAR and PXR target genes, Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11, was observed in both WT and huPXR/huCAR mouse lines following treatment with PB or chlordane. In the PXRKO/CARKO mice, neither liver growth nor induction of Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 was seen following PB or chlordane treatment, indicating that these effects are CAR/PXR dependent. These data suggest that the human receptors are able to support the chemically induced hypertrophic responses but not the hyperplastic (cell proliferation) responses. At this time, we cannot be certain that hCAR and hPXR when expressed in the mouse can function exactly as the genes do when they are expressed in human cells. However, all parameters investigated to date suggest that much of their functionality is maintained.}, language = {en} } @article{ProbstBehbahaniBorrmannetal.2010, author = {Probst, M. and Behbahani, Mehdi and Borrmann, E. and Elgeti, S. and Nicolai, M. and Behr, M.}, title = {Hemodynamic Modeling for Numerical Analysis and Design of Medical Devices}, year = {2010}, language = {en} }
