The number of single scattered coincidences alone is in the same order of magnitude as true coincidences. In this work, a compact Compton camera module based on monolithic scintillation material is investigated as a detector ring module. The detector interactions are simulated with Monte Carlo package GATE. The scattering angle inside the tissue is derived from the energy of the scattered photon, which results in a set of possible scattering trajectories or broken line of response. The Compton kinematics collimation reduces the number of solutions. Additionally, the time of flight information helps localize the position of the annihilation. One of the questions of this investigation is related to how the energy, spatial and temporal resolutions help confine the possible annihilation volume. A comparison of currently technically feasible detector resolutions (under laboratory conditions) demonstrates the influence on this annihilation volume and shows that energy and coincidence time resolution have a significant impact. An enhancement of the latter from 400 ps to 100 ps leads to a smaller annihilation volume of around 50\%, while a change of the energy resolution in the absorber layer from 12\% to 4.5\% results in a reduction of 60\%. The inclusion of single tissue-scattered data has the potential to increase the sensitivity of a scanner by a factor of 2 to 3 times. The concept can be further optimized and extended for multiple scatter coincidences and subsequently validated by a reconstruction algorithm.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KolditzAlbinFasseetal.2015, author = {Kolditz, Melanie and Albin, Thivaharan and Fasse, Alessandro and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gert-Peter and Abel, Dirk and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Simulative Analysis of Joint Loading During Leg Press Exercise for Control Applications}, series = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, volume = {48}, booktitle = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, number = {20}, doi = {10.1016/j.ifacol.2015.10.179}, pages = {435 -- 440}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{TurekHeidenGuoetal.2010, author = {Turek, Monik and Heiden, Wolfgang and Guo, Sharon and Riesen, Alfred and Schubert, J{\"u}rgen and Zander, Willi and Kr{\"u}ger, Peter and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Simultaneous detection of cyanide and heavy metals for environmental analysis by means of µISEs}, series = {Physica Status Solidi (A). 207 (2010), H. 4}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi (A). 207 (2010), H. 4}, isbn = {1862-6300}, pages = {817 -- 823}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FuruichiYoshinobuErmelenkoetal.2001, author = {Furuichi, K. and Yoshinobu, T. and Ermelenko, T. and Mourzina, Y. and Iwasaki, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Simultaneous visualization of multiple ions by the chemical imaging sensor}, series = {Proceedings of the 5th East Asian Conference on Chemical Sensors; the 33rd Chemical Sensor Symposium : December 4 - 7, 2001, Huis Ten Bosch, Sasebo-shi, Nagasaki, Japan / Japan Association of Chemical Sensors; the Electrochemical Society of Japan}, journal = {Proceedings of the 5th East Asian Conference on Chemical Sensors; the 33rd Chemical Sensor Symposium : December 4 - 7, 2001, Huis Ten Bosch, Sasebo-shi, Nagasaki, Japan / Japan Association of Chemical Sensors; the Electrochemical Society of Japan}, publisher = {Japan Association of Chemical Sensors}, address = {Kasuga, Fukuoka-ken}, pages = {399 -- 401}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{Ackermann1996, author = {Ackermann, Hans-Josef}, title = {Single chip hardware support for rasterization and texture mapping}, series = {Computers \& graphics : CAG ; an international journal of applications in computer graphics. 20 (1996), H. 4}, journal = {Computers \& graphics : CAG ; an international journal of applications in computer graphics. 20 (1996), H. 4}, isbn = {0097-8493}, pages = {503 -- 514}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{DadfarCamozziDarguzyteetal.2020, author = {Dadfar, Dryed Mohammadali and Camozzi, Denise and Darguzyte, Milita and Roemhild, Karolin and Varvar{\`a}, Paola and Metselaar, Josbert and Banala, Srinivas and Straub, Marcel and G{\"u}ver, Nihan and Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Slabu, Ioana and Buhl, Miriam and Leusen, Jan van and K{\"o}gerler, Paul and Hermanns-Sachweh, Benita and Schulz, Volkmar and Kiessling, Fabian and Lammers, Twan}, title = {Size-isolation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles improves MRI, MPI and hyperthermia performance}, series = {Journal of Nanobiotechnology}, volume = {18}, journal = {Journal of Nanobiotechnology}, number = {Article number 22}, publisher = {Nature Portfolio}, issn = {1477-3155}, doi = {10.1186/s12951-020-0580-1}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are extensively used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI), as well as for magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH).

In general, these PDEs can be solved by discretizing in the spatial variables and transforming them into huge systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are very stiff. Therefore, standard explicit methods require a large number of iterations to solve stiff problems. But implicit schemes are computationally very expensive when solving huge systems of nonlinear ODEs. Several families of Extrapolated Stabilized Explicit Runge-Kutta schemes (ESERK) with different order of accuracy (3 to 6) are derived and analyzed in this work. They are explicit methods, with stability regions extended, along the negative real semi-axis, quadratically with respect to the number of stages s, hence they can be considered to solve stiff problems much faster than traditional explicit schemes. Additionally, they allow the adaptation of the step length easily with a very small cost. Two new families of ESERK schemes (ESERK3 and ESERK6) are derived, and analyzed, in this work. Each family has more than 50 new schemes, with up to 84.000 stages in the case of ESERK6. For the first time, we also parallelized all these new variable step length and variable number of stages algorithms (ESERK3, ESERK4, ESERK5, and ESERK6). These parallelized strategies allow to decrease times significantly, as it is discussed and also shown numerically in two problems. Thus, the new codes provide very good results compared to other well-known ODE solvers. Finally, a new strategy is proposed to increase the efficiency of these schemes, and it is discussed the idea of combining ESERK families in one code, because typically, stiff problems have different zones and according to them and the requested tolerance the optimum order of convergence is different.}, language = {en} } @article{Staat2002, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Some Achievements of the European Project LISA for FEM Based Limit and Shakedown Analysis}, series = {Computational mechanics : developments and applications, 2002 : presented at the 2002 ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 5 - 9. / Badie, N.

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.

In order to ensure the statistical reliability of the results, groups of 10 LSO crystals each were measured for all combinations of surface treatment and reflector material. Using no reflector material the light output increased up to 551±35\% by mechanical polishing the surface compared to 100±5\% for raw crystals. Etching the surface increased the light output to 441±29\%. The untreated crystals had an energy resolution of 24.6±4.0\%. By mechanical polishing the surface it was possible to achieve an energy resolution of 13.2±0.8\%, by etching of 14.8±0.7\%.

These "paradox" fractures can be explained by a phenomenological extension strain failure criterion. In the past, a simple empirical criterion for fracture initiation in brittle rock has been developed. But this criterion makes unrealistic strength predictions in biaxial compression and tension. A new extension strain criterion overcomes this limitation by adding a weighted principal shear component. The weight is chosen, such that the enriched extension strain criterion represents the same failure surface as the Mohr-Coulomb (MC) criterion. Thus, the MC criterion has been derived as an extension strain criterion predicting failure modes, which are unexpected in the understanding of the failure of cohesive-frictional materials. In progressive damage of rock, the most likely fracture direction is orthogonal to the maximum extension strain. The enriched extension strain criterion is proposed as a threshold surface for crack initiation CI and crack damage CD and as a failure surface at peak P. Examples show that the enriched extension strain criterion predicts much lower volumes of damaged rock mass compared to the simple extension strain criterion.}, language = {en} } @article{ZiemonsBerghoffLanskeetal.1988, author = {Ziemons, Karl and Berghoff, G. and Lanske, D. and Schultze, K.}, title = {Strangeness production in deep inelastic muon-nucleon scattering}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, volume = {23}, journal = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, number = {5}, isbn = {0420-0195}, pages = {T309 -- T309}, year = {1988}, language = {en} } @article{KeusgenSchoening2004, author = {Keusgen, M. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Strategies for biosensoric detection of potential drugs in nature}, series = {Biomedizinische Technik. 49 (2004), H. 2}, journal = {Biomedizinische Technik. 49 (2004), H. 2}, isbn = {0932-4666}, pages = {1004 -- 1005}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{OberlaenderKirchnerKeusgenetal.2015, author = {Oberl{\"a}nder, Jan and Kirchner, Patrick and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Strategies in developing thin-film sensors for monitoring aseptic food processes : Theoretical considerations and investigations of passivation materials}, series = {Electrochimica Acta}, volume = {183}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0013-4686}, doi = {10.1016/j.electacta.2015.06.126}, pages = {130 -- 136}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The sterilization of packages in aseptic food processes is highly significant to maintain a consumer-safe product with extended shelf-life. Today, the sterilization of food packages is predominantly accomplished by gaseous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in combination with heat. In order to monitor this sterilization process, calorimetric gas sensors as differential set-up of two platinum temperature sensors representing a catalytically active (additionally deposition of MnO2) and a passive segment have been recently developed. The temperature rise of the exothermic decomposition serves as an indicator of the present H2O2 concentration. In the present work, a theoretical approach considering the sensor's thermochemistry and physical transport phenomena was formulated to evaluate the temperature rise based on the energy content of gaseous H2O2. In a further part of this work, three polymers have been analyzed with respect to their application as passivation materials. The examined polymers are photoresist SU-8, perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). Thermal analyses by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been conducted to determine the operation limits of the polymers. The overall chemical resistance and stability of the polymers against the harsh environmental conditions during the sterilization process have been examined by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisLuethWangetal.2003, author = {Simonis, A. and L{\"u}th, H. and Wang, J. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Strategies of miniaturised reference electrodes integrated in a silicon-based „one chip" pH sensor}, series = {Sensors. 3 (2003), H. 9}, journal = {Sensors. 3 (2003), H. 9}, isbn = {1424-8220}, pages = {330 -- 339}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{SchaeferMende1987, author = {Sch{\"a}fer, Horst and Mende, H.

The results clearly show that the Gynecare TVT fails for increasing loads in a zipper-like manner because it gradually debonds from the surrounding tissue.

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{StaatHeitzer1999, author = {Staat, Manfred and Heitzer, M.}, title = {Structural Reliability Analysis of Elasto-Plastic Structures}, series = {Safety and reliability : proceedings of ESREL '99, the Tenth European Conference on Safety and Reliability, Munich-Garching, Germany, 13 - 17 September 1999 / Schu{\"e}ller, G.

Preserving this biodiversity is a great challenge as habitats and environments underlying tremendous changes like climate change and the loss of natural habitats, which are mainly due to anthropogenic influences. The coexistence of numerous species even in homogeneous environments is a stunning feature of natural communities and has been summarized under the term 'paradox of plankton'. Up to now, there are several mechanisms discussed, which may contribute to local and global diversity of organisms. Several interspecific trade offs have been identified maintaining the coexistence of species like their abilities regarding competition and predator avoidance, their capability to disperse in space and time, and their ability to exploit variable resources. Further, micro-evolutionary dynamics supporting the coexistence of species have been added to our knowledge, and deriving from theoretical deterministic models, non-linear dynamics which describe the temporal fluctuation of abundances of organisms. Whereas competition and predation seem to be clue structural elements within interacting organisms, the intrinsic dynamic behavior - by means of temporal changes in abundance - plays an important role regarding coexistence within a community. The present work sheds light on different factors affecting the coexistence of species using experimental microbial model systems consisting of a bacterivorous ciliate as the predator and two bacteria strains as prey organism. Additionally, another experimental setup consisting of two up to five bacteria species competing for one limiting resource was investigated. Highly controllable chemostat systems were established to exclude extrinsic disturbances. According to theoretical analyses I was able to show - experimentally and theoretically - that phenotypic plasticity of one species within a microbial one-predator-two-prey food web enlarges the range of possible coexistence of all species under different dynamic conditions, compared to a food web without phenotypic plasticity. This was accompanied by non-linear (chaotic) population dynamics within all experimental systems showing phenotypic plasticity. The experiments on the interplay of competition, predation and invasion showed that all aspects have an influence on species coexistence. Under undisturbed controlled conditions all aspects were analyzed in detail and in combination. Populations showed oscillations which were shown by quasi-chaotic attractors in phase space diagrams. Competition experiments with two up to five bacteria species competing for one limiting resource showed that all organisms were able to coexist which was mediated by species oscillations entering a regime of chaos. Besides that fact it was found, that the productivity (biomass) as well as the total cell numbers - under the same nutrition supply - increased by an increasing number of species in the experimental systems. Up to now, the occurrence of non-linear dynamics in well controlled experimental studies has been recognized several times and this phenomenon seemed to be more common in natural systems than generally assumed.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerVeggianLiederBochevetal.1981, author = {M{\"u}ller-Veggian, Mattea and Lieder, R.
