Therefore, it is of high importance to develop sensitive, accurate and inexpensive malaria diagnosis tests. Here, we present a novel aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor (aptasensor) for malaria detection by impedance spectroscopy, through the specific recognition between a highly discriminatory DNA aptamer and its target Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH). Interestingly, due to the isoelectric point (pI) of PfLDH, the aptasensor response showed an adjustable detection range based on the different protein net-charge at variable pH environments. The specific aptamer recognition allows sensitive protein detection with an expanded detection range and a low detection limit, as well as a high specificity for PfLDH compared to analogous proteins. The specific feasibility of the aptasensor is further demonstrated by detection of the target PfLDH in human serum. Furthermore, the aptasensor can be easily regenerated and thus applied for multiple usages. The robustness, sensitivity, and reusability of the presented aptasensor make it a promising candidate for point-of-care diagnostic systems.}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerOrzadaFloeseretal.2022, author = {Fiedler, Thomas M. and Orzada, Stephan and Fl{\"o}ser, Martina and Rietsch, Stefan H.

Thirty-two transmit elements were placed in three rings between the bore liner and RF shield of the gradient coil. Slice-selective RF pulse optimizations for B1 shimming and spokes were performed for differently oriented slices in the body under consideration of realistic constraints for power and local SAR. To improve the B1+ homogeneity, safety assessments based on temperature and thermal dose were performed to possibly allow for higher input power for the pulse optimization than permissible with SAR limits. The results showed that using two spokes, the 7 T array outperformed the 3 T birdcage in all the considered regions of interest. However, a significantly higher SAR or lower duty cycle at 7 T is necessary in some cases to achieve similar B1+ homogeneity as at 3 T. The homogeneity in up to 50 cm-long coronal slices can particularly benefit from the high RF shim performance provided by the 32 RF channels. The thermal dose approach increases the allowable input power and the corresponding local SAR, in one example up to 100 W/kg, without limiting the exposure time necessary for an MR examination. In conclusion, the integrated antenna array at 7 T enables a clinical workflow for body imaging and comparable imaging performance to a conventional 3 T clinical body coil.}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerOrzadaFloeseretal.2021, author = {Fiedler, Thomas M. and Orzada, Stephan and Fl{\"o}ser, Martina and Rietsch, Stefan H.

RF simulations using multiring antenna arrays placed behind the bore liner were performed for realistic exposure conditions for body imaging. Simulations were performed for arrays with as few as eight elements and for arrays with high channel counts of up to 48 elements. The B1+ field was evaluated regarding the degrees of freedom for RF shimming in the abdomen. Worst-case specific absorption rate (SARwc ), SAR overestimation in the matrix compression, the number of virtual obser- vation points (VOPs) and SAR efficiency were evaluated. Constrained RF shimming was performed in differently oriented regions of interest in the body, and the devia- tion from a target B1+ field was evaluated. Results show that integrated multiring arrays are able to generate homogeneous B1+ field distributions for large FOVs, espe- cially for coronal/sagittal slices, and thus enable body imaging at 7 T with a clinical workflow; however, a low duty cycle or a high SAR is required to achieve homoge- neous B1+ distributions and to exploit the full potential. In conclusion, integrated arrays allow for high element counts that have high degrees of freedom for the pulse optimization but also produce high SARwc , which reduces the SAR accuracy in the VOP compression for low-SAR protocols, leading to a potential reduction in array performance. Smaller SAR overestimations can increase SAR accuracy, but lead to a high number of VOPs, which increases the computational cost for VOP evaluation and makes online SAR monitoring or pulse optimization challenging.

Since the introduction of MRI in the mid-1980s, there has been a continuous trend toward higher static magnetic fields to obtain i.a. a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The step toward ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI at 7 Tesla and higher, however, creates several challenges regarding the homogeneity of the spin excitation RF transmit field and the RF exposure of the subject. In UHF MRI systems, the wavelength of the RF field is in the range of the diameter of the human body, which can result in inhomogeneous spin excitation and local SAR hotspots. To optimize the homogeneity in a region of interest, UHF MRI systems use parallel transmit systems with multiple transmit antennas and time-dependent modulation of the RF signal in the individual transmit channels. Furthermore, SAR increases with increasing field strength, while the SAR limits remain unchanged. Two different approaches to generate the RF transmit field in UHF systems using antenna arrays close and remote to the body are investigated in this letter. Achievable imaging performance is evaluated compared to typical clinical RF transmit systems at lower field strength. The evaluation has been performed under consideration of RF exposure based on local SAR and tissue temperature. Furthermore, results for thermal dose as an alternative RF exposure metric are presented.}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerLaddBitz2017, author = {Fiedler, Thomas M. and Ladd, Mark E. and Bitz, Andreas}, title = {SAR Simulations \& Safety}, series = {NeuroImage}, journal = {NeuroImage}, number = {Epub ahead of print}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1053-8119}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.03.035}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerLaddBitz2017, author = {Fiedler, Thomas M. and Ladd, Mark E. and Bitz, Andreas}, title = {RF safety assessment of a bilateral four-channel transmit/receive 7 Tesla breast coil: SAR versus temperature limits}, series = {Medical Physics}, volume = {44}, journal = {Medical Physics}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1002/mp.12034}, pages = {143 -- 157}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerWollert1996, author = {Fiedler, J{\"o}rg and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Zeitmeister : Echtzeitbetriebssysteme f{\"u}r Mikrocontroller}, series = {ELRAD : Magazin f{\"u}r Elektronik und technische Rechneranwendungen}, journal = {ELRAD : Magazin f{\"u}r Elektronik und technische Rechneranwendungen}, number = {2}, issn = {0170-1827}, pages = {55 -- 59}, year = {1996}, language = {de} } @article{FeuerriegelStahlbergWeisenburgeretal.1995, author = {Feuerriegel, Uwe and Stahlberg, R. and Weisenburger, P. and Steiger, F.}, title = {Massen- und Energiebilanzen unter Einbeziehung der Untersuchungen an der Thermoselect-Anlage Fondotoce (Italien).

From our personal view point, we acknowledge this by giving a retrospection about what makes RoboCup such a success.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauer2016, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Looking back on 20 Years of RoboCup}, series = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, volume = {30}, journal = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1610-1987}, doi = {10.1007/s13218-016-0443-y}, pages = {321 -- 323}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauer2016, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {The Interplay of Aldebaran and RoboCup}, series = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, volume = {30}, journal = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1610-1987}, doi = {10.1007/s13218-016-0440-1}, pages = {325 -- 326}, year = {2016}, 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{FerreinSiebelSteinbauer2010, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Siebel, Nils T. and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Hybrid control for autonomous systems — Integrating learning, deliberation and reactive control}, series = {Robotics and Autonomous Systems}, volume = {58}, journal = {Robotics and Autonomous Systems}, number = {9}, isbn = {0921-8890}, pages = {1037 -- 1038}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSchifferLakemeyer2006, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Schiffer, Stefan and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Football is coming Home / Schiffer, Stefan ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, series = {PCAR '06 Proceedings of the 2006 international symposium on Practical cognitive agents and robots}, journal = {PCAR '06 Proceedings of the 2006 international symposium on Practical cognitive agents and robots}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY}, isbn = {1-74052-130-7}, pages = {39 -- 50}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSchifferLakemeyer2006, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Schiffer, Stefan and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Qualitative World Models for Soccer Robots / Schiffer, Stefan ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, series = {Qualitative constraint calculi : application and integration ; KI 2006, 14 - 19 June 2006, Bremen, Germany ; 29th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence ; workshop / Stefan W{\"o}lfl ...

A number of initiatives focus on this issue, for instance, the Roberta Initiative, the FIRST Lego League, the World Robot Olympiad and RoboCup Junior. Robotic competitions are valuable not only for school learners but also for university students, as the RoboCup initiative shows. Besides technical skills, the students get some project exposure and experience what it means to finish their tasks on time. But qualifying students for future high-tech areas should not only be for students from developed countries. In this article, we present our experiences with research and education in robotics within the RoboCup initiative, in Germany and South Africa; we report on our experiences with trying to get the RoboCup initiative in South Africa going. RoboCup has a huge support base of academic institutions in Germany; this is not the case in South Africa. We present our 'north-south' collaboration initiatives in RoboCup between Germany and South Africa and discuss some of the reasons why we think it is harder to run RoboCup in South Africa.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinRensPoel2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Rens, Gavin and Poel, Etienne van der}, title = {A BDI agent architecture for a POMDP planner / Rens, Gavin ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Poel, Etienne van der}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinRensMeyeretal.2011, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Rens, Gavin and Meyer, Thomas and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {A Logic for Specifying Partially Observable Stochastic Domains / Rens, Gavin ; Meyer, Thomas ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, series = {Proceedings of the Ninth International Workshop pn non-Monotonic Reasoning, Action and Change (NRAC`11)}, journal = {Proceedings of the Ninth International Workshop pn non-Monotonic Reasoning, Action and Change (NRAC`11)}, pages = {15 -- 22}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinNiemuellerSteinbauer2010, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Team Zadeat 2010 : application for participation}, pages = {5 Seiten}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinMiesLakemeyer2008, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Mies, Christoph and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Repairing Decision-Theoretic Policies Using Goal-Oriented Planning / Mies, Christoph ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, series = {KI 2008: Advances in Artificial Intelligence : 31st Annual German Conference on AI, KI 2008, Kaiserslautern, Germany, September 23-26, 2008.
