Besides magnetization, the most important parameter that determines their performance for these applications is their magnetic relaxation, which can be affected when MNPs immobilize and agglomerate inside tissues. In this letter, we investigate different MNP agglomeration states for their magnetic relaxation properties under excitation in alternating fields and relate this to their heating efficiency and imaging properties. With focus on magnetic fluid hyperthermia, two different trends in MNP heating efficiency are measured: an increase by up to 23\% for agglomerated MNP in suspension and a decrease by up to 28\% for mixed states of agglomerated and immobilized MNP, which indicates that immobilization is the dominant effect. The same comparatively moderate effects are obtained for the signal amplitude in magnetic particle spectroscopy.}, language = {en} } @article{EngelmannRoethEberbecketal.2018, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Roeth, Anjali A.J. and Eberbeck, Dietmar and Buhl, Eva Miriam and Neumann, Ulf Peter and Schmitz-Rode, Thomas and Slabu, Ioana}, title = {Combining Bulk Temperature and Nanoheating Enables Advanced Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Efficacy on Pancreatic Tumor Cells}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {8}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2045-2322}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-018-31553-9}, pages = {Article number 13210}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Many efforts are made worldwide to establish magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) as a treatment for organ-confined tumors. However, translation to clinical application hardly succeeds as it still lacks of understanding the mechanisms determining MFH cytotoxic effects. Here, we investigate the intracellular MFH efficacy with respect to different parameters and assess the intracellular cytotoxic effects in detail. For this, MiaPaCa-2 human pancreatic tumor cells and L929 murine fibroblasts were loaded with iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and exposed to MFH for either 30 min or 90 min. The resulting cytotoxic effects were assessed via clonogenic assay. Our results demonstrate that cell damage depends not only on the obvious parameters bulk temperature and duration of treatment, but most importantly on cell type and thermal energy deposited per cell during MFH treatment. Tumor cell death of 95\% was achieved by depositing an intracellular total thermal energy with about 50\% margin to damage of healthy cells. This is attributed to combined intracellular nanoheating and extracellular bulk heating. Tumor cell damage of up to 86\% was observed for MFH treatment without perceptible bulk temperature rise. Effective heating decreased by up to 65\% after MNP were internalized inside cells.}, language = {en} } @article{EngelmannSeifertMuesetal.2019, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Seifert, Julian and Mues, Benedikt and Roitsch, Stefan and M{\´e}nager, Christine and Schmidt, Annette M. and Slabu, Ioana}, title = {Heating efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles decreases with gradual immobilization in hydrogels}, series = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, volume = {471}, journal = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0304-8853}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmmm.2018.09.113}, pages = {486 -- 494}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{EngelmannShashaTeemanetal.2019, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Shasha, Carolyn and Teeman, Eric and Slabu, Iona and Krishnan, Kannan M.}, title = {Predicting size-dependent heating efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles from experiment and stochastic N{\´e}el-Brown Langevin simulation}, series = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, volume = {471}, journal = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0304-8853}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmmm.2018.09.041}, pages = {450 -- 456}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{SlabuRoethEngelmannetal.2019, author = {Slabu, Ioana and Roeth, Anjali A. and Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Wiekhorst, Frank and Buhl, Eva M. and Neumann, Ulf P. and Schmitz-Rode, Thomas}, title = {Modeling of magnetoliposome uptake in human pancreatic tumor cells in vitro}, series = {Nanotechnology}, volume = {30}, journal = {Nanotechnology}, number = {18}, issn = {1361-6528}, doi = {10.1088/1361-6528/ab033e}, pages = {184004}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{DigelAkimbekovTuralievaetal.2013, author = {Digel, Ilya and Akimbekov, N. and Turalieva, M. and Mansurov, Z. and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Eshibaev, A. and Zhubanova, A.}, title = {Usage of Carbonized Plant Wastes for Purification of Aqueous Solutions}, series = {Journal of Industrial Technology and Engineering}, volume = {2}, journal = {Journal of Industrial Technology and Engineering}, number = {07}, pages = {47 -- 54}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{KarschuckFilipovBollellaetal.2019, author = {Karschuck, T.

While some of the logic gates, particularly OR, AND, are easy to realize with biocatalytic reactions and have been reported in numerous publications, some other, like NXOR, are very challenging and have not been realized yet with enzyme reactions. The paper reports on a novel approach to mimicking the NXOR logic gate using the bell-shaped enzyme activity dependent on pH values. Shifting pH from the optimum value to the acidic or basic values by using acid or base inputs (meaning 1,0 and 0,1 inputs) inhibits the enzyme reaction, while keeping the optimum pH (assuming 0,0 and 1,1 input combinations) preserves a high enzyme activity. The challenging part of the present approach is the selection of an enzyme with a well-demonstrated bell-shape activity dependence on the pH value. While many enzymes can satisfy this condition, we selected pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase as this enzyme has the optimum pH center-located on the pH scale allowing the enzyme activity change by the acidic and basic pH shift from the optimum value corresponding to the highest activity. The present NXOR gate is added to the biomolecular "toolbox" as a new example of Boolean logic gates based on enzyme reactions.}, language = {en} } @article{DantismRoehlenWagneretal.2019, author = {Dantism, Shahriar and R{\"o}hlen, Desiree and Wagner, Torsten and Wagner, P. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {A LAPS-based differential sensor for parallelized metabolism monitoring of various bacteria}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {19}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {21}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1424-8220}, doi = {10.3390/s19214692}, pages = {Artikel 4692}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Monitoring the cellular metabolism of bacteria in (bio)fermentation processes is crucial to control and steer them, and to prevent undesired disturbances linked to metabolically inactive microorganisms.

This work describes the simultaneous analysis of the metabolic behavior of three different types of bacteria by means of a differential light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) set-up. The study includes Lactobacillus brevis, Corynebacterium glutamicum, and Escherichia coli, which are often applied in fermentation processes in bioreactors. Differential measurements were carried out to compensate undesirable influences such as sensor signal drift, and pH value variation during the measurements. Furthermore, calibration curves of the cellular metabolism were established as a function of the glucose concentration or cell number variation with all three model microorganisms. In this context, simultaneous (bio)sensing with the multi-organism LAPS-based set-up can open new possibilities for a cost-effective, rapid detection of the extracellular acidification of bacteria on a single sensor chip.

The viroid concentration in the treated biomass was monitored weekly using pospiviroid-specific PCR. After 10-12 weeks of continuous treatment, a sufficient decrease in viroid concentration was observed such that the infection became undetectable by PCR.

To validate the numerical model, the simulation results are compared to experimental data on the heating power required to produce the gas mixture.

Light addressability can be used to visualize the concentration and spatial distribution of the target molecules, e.g., H+ ions. This unique feature has great potential for the label-free imaging of the metabolic activity of living organisms. The cultivation of those organisms needs specially tailored surface properties of the sensor. O2 plasma treatment is an attractive and promising tool for rapid surface engineering. However, the potential impacts of the technique are carefully investigated for the sensors that suffer from plasma-induced damage. Herein, a LAPS with a Ta2O5 pH-sensitive surface is successfully patterned by plasma treatment, and its effects are investigated by contact angle and scanning LAPS measurements. The plasma duration of 30 s (30 W) is found to be the threshold value, where excessive wettability begins. Furthermore, this treatment approach causes moderate plasma-induced damage, which can be reduced by thermal annealing (10 min at 300 °C). These findings provide a useful guideline to support future studies, where the LAPS surface is desired to be more hydrophilic by O2 plasma treatment.}, language = {en} } @article{IkenBronderGoretzkietal.2019, author = {Iken, Heiko and Bronder, Thomas and Goretzki, Alexander and Kriesel, Jana and Ahlborn, Kristina and Gerlach, Frank and Vonau, Winfried and Zander, Willi and Schubert, J{\"u}rgen and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Development of a Combined pH- and Redox-Sensitive Bi-Electrode Glass Thin-Film Sensor}, series = {physica status solidi a : applications and materials sciences}, volume = {216}, journal = {physica status solidi a : applications and materials sciences}, number = {12}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1862-6319}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201900114}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{DantismRoehlenSelmeretal.2019, author = {Dantism, Shahriar and R{\"o}hlen, Desiree and Selmer, Thorsten and Wagner, Torsten and Wagner, Patrick and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Quantitative differential monitoring of the metabolic activity of Corynebacterium glutamicum cultures utilizing a light-addressable potentiometric sensor system}, series = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, volume = {139}, journal = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.bios.2019.111332}, pages = {Artikel 111332}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{GerhardsSanderZivkovicetal.2020, author = {Gerhards, Michael and Sander, Volker and Zivkovic, Miroslav and Belloum, Adam and Bubak, Marian}, title = {New approach to allocation planning of many-task workflows on clouds}, series = {Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience}, volume = {32}, journal = {Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience}, number = {2 Article e5404}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Chichester}, issn = {1532-0634}, doi = {10.1002/cpe.5404}, pages = {1 -- 16}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Experience has shown that a priori created static resource allocation plans are vulnerable to runtime deviations and hence often become uneconomic or highly exceed a predefined soft deadline. The assumption of constant task execution times during allocation planning is even more unlikely in a cloud environment where virtualized resources vary in performance. Revising the initially created resource allocation plan at runtime allows the scheduler to react on deviations between planning and execution. Such an adaptive rescheduling of a many-task application workflow is only feasible, when the planning time can be handled efficiently at runtime. In this paper, we present the static low-complexity resource allocation planning algorithm (LCP) applicable to efficiently schedule many-task scientific application workflows on cloud resources of different capabilities. The benefits of the presented algorithm are benchmarked against alternative approaches. The benchmark results show that LCP is not only able to compete against higher complexity algorithms in terms of planned costs and planned makespan but also outperforms them significantly by magnitudes of 2 to 160 in terms of required planning time. Hence, LCP is superior in terms of practical usability where low planning time is essential such as in our targeted online rescheduling scenario.}, language = {en} } @article{KodomskoiKotliarSchroederetal.2019, author = {Kodomskoi, Leonid and Kotliar, Konstantin and Schr{\"o}der, Andreas and Weiss, Michael and Hille, Konrad}, title = {Suture-Probe Canaloplasty as an Alternative to Canaloplasty using the iTrack™ Microcatheter}, series = {Journal of Glaucoma}, journal = {Journal of Glaucoma}, number = {Epub ahead of print}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {1057-0829}, doi = {10.1097/IJG.0000000000001321}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{KoppSchmeetsGosauetal.2019, author = {Kopp, Alexander and Schmeets, Ralf and Gosau, Martin and Friedrich, Reinhard E. and Fuest, Sandra and Behbahani, Mehdi and Barbeck, Mike and Rutkowski, Rico and Burg, Simon and Kluwe, Lan and Henningsen, Anders}, title = {Production and Characterization of Porous Fibroin Scaffolds for Regenerative Medical Application}, series = {In Vivo}, volume = {33}, journal = {In Vivo}, number = {3}, issn = {1791-7549}, doi = {10.21873/invivo.11536}, pages = {757 -- 762}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{Stulpe2019, author = {Stulpe, Werner}, title = {Aspects of the Quantum-Classical Connection Based on Statistical Maps}, series = {Foundations of Physics}, volume = {49}, journal = {Foundations of Physics}, number = {6}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007/s10701-019-00269-9}, pages = {677 -- 692}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{PoghossianGeisslerSchoening2019, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Geissler, Hanno and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Rapid methods and sensors for milk quality monitoring and spoilage detection}, series = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, volume = {140}, journal = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, number = {Article 111272}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0956-5663}, doi = {10.1016/j.bios.2019.04.040}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{CornelisGivanoudiYongabietal.2019, author = {Cornelis, Peter and Givanoudi, Stella and Yongabi, Derick and Iken, Heiko and Duw{\´e}, Sam and Deschaume, Olivier and Robbens, Johan and Dedecker, Peter and Bartic, Carmen and W{\"u}bbenhorst, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Heyndrickx, Marc and Wagner, Patrick}, title = {Sensitive and specific detection of E. coli using biomimetic receptors in combination with a modified heat-transfer method}, series = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, volume = {136}, journal = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0956-5663}, doi = {10.1016/j.bios.2019.04.026}, pages = {97 -- 105}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{MeyerGaalenLeschingeretal.2019, author = {Meyer, Carolin and Gaalen, Kerstin van and Leschinger, Tim and Scheyerer, Max J. and Neiss, Wolfram F. and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Lars P. and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {Kyphoplasty of Osteoporotic Fractured Vertebrae: A Finite Element Analysis about Two Types of Cement}, series = {BioMed Research International}, journal = {BioMed Research International}, doi = {10.1155/2019/9232813}, pages = {Article ID 9232813}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{TranStaat2020, author = {Tran, Ngoc Trinh and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Direct plastic structural design under lognormally distributed strength by chance constrained programming}, series = {Optimization and Engineering}, volume = {21}, journal = {Optimization and Engineering}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, issn = {1573-2924}, doi = {10.1007/s11081-019-09437-2}, pages = {131 -- 157}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We propose the so-called chance constrained programming model of stochastic programming theory to analyze limit and shakedown loads of structures under random strength with a lognormal distribution.

While in the upper limbs and especially in the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint such evidence is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the electromyographical response in the muscles crossing the shoulder of specifically trained overhead athletes to an anterior perturbation force. METHODS: Twenty healthy male participants performed six sets of different external shoulder rotation stretches on an isokinetic dynamometer over a range of amplitudes and muscle pre-activation moment levels. All stretches were applied with a dynamometer acceleration of 10,000∘/s2 and a velocity of 150∘/s. Electromyographical response was measured via sEMG. RESULTS: Consistent reflexes were not observed in all experimental conditions. The reflex latencies revealed a significant muscle main effect (F (2,228) = 99.31, p< 0.001; η2= 0.466; f= 0.934) and a pre-activation main effect (F (1,228) = 142.21, p< 0.001; η2= 0.384; f= 1.418). The stretch reflex amplitude yielded a significant pre-activation main effect (F (1,222) = 470.373, p< 0.001; η2= 0.679; f= 1.454). CONCLUSION: Short latency muscle reflexes showed a tendency to an anterior to posterior muscle recruitment whereby the main internal rotator muscles of the shoulder revealed the most consistent results.}, language = {en} } @article{LauraDrechslerErdtetal.2018, author = {Laura, C.O. and Drechsler, Klaus and Erdt, M. and Wesarg, S. and Bale, R.}, title = {Intervention assessment tool for primary tumors in the liver}, series = {Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering}, volume = {4}, journal = {Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering}, number = {1}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2364-5504}, doi = {10.1515/cdbme-2018-0081}, pages = {337 -- 340}, year = {2018}, abstract = {After a liver tumor intervention the medical doctor has to compare both pre and postoperative CT acquisitions to ensure that all carcinogenic cells are destroyed.

However, the data on the risk of developing SSI after dermatologic surgery in immunosuppressed patients are limited. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients of the Department of Dermatology and Allergology at the University Hospital of RWTH Aachen in Aachen, Germany, who underwent hospitalization for a dermatologic surgery between June 2016 and January 2017 (6 months), were followed up after surgery until completion of the wound healing process. The follow-up addressed the occurrence of SSI and the need for systemic antibiotics after the operative procedure. Immunocompromised patients were compared with immunocompetent patients. The investigation was conducted as a retrospective analysis of patient records. RESULTS The authors performed 284 dermatologic surgeries in 177 patients. Nineteen percent (54/284) of the skin surgery was performed on immunocompromised patients. The most common indications for surgical treatment were nonmelanoma skin cancer and malignant melanomas. Surgical site infections occurred in 6.7\% (19/284) of the cases. In 95\% (18/19), systemic antibiotic treatment was needed. Twenty-one percent of all SSI (4/19) were seen in immunosuppressed patients. CONCLUSION According to the authors' data, immunosuppression does not represent a significant risk factor for SSI after dermatologic surgery. However, larger prospective studies are needed to make specific recommendations on the use of antibiotic prophylaxis while performing skin surgery in these patients. The available data on complications after dermatologic surgery have improved over the past years. Particularly, additional risk factors have been identified for surgical site infections (SSI). Purulent surgical sites, older age, involvement of head, neck, and acral regions, and also the involvement of less experienced surgeons have been reported to increase the risk of the SSI after dermatologic surgeries.1 In general, the incidence of SSI after skin surgery is considered to be low.1,2 However, antibiotics in dermatologic surgeries, especially in the perioperative setting, seem to be overused,3,4 particularly regarding developing antibiotic resistances and side effects. Immunosuppression has been recommended to be taken into consideration as an additional indication for antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent SSI after skin surgery in special cases.5,6 However, these recommendations do not specify the exact dermatologic surgeries, and were not specifically developed for dermatologic surgery patients and treatments, but adopted from other surgical fields.6 According to the survey conducted on American College of Mohs Surgery members in 2012, 13\% to 29\% of the surgeons administered antibiotic prophylaxis to immunocompromised patients to prevent SSI while performing dermatologic surgery on noninfected skin,3 although this was not recommended by Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology Advisory Statement. Indeed, the data on the risk of developing SSI after dermatologic surgery in immunosuppressed patients are limited. However, it is possible that due to the insufficient evidence on the risk of SSI occurrence in this patient group, dermatologic surgeons tend to overuse perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. To make specific recommendations on the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in immunosuppressed patients in the field of skin surgery, more information about the incidence of SSI after dermatologic surgery in these patients is needed. The aim of this study was to fill this data gap by investigating whether there is an increased risk of SSI after skin surgery in immunocompromised patients compared with immunocompetent patients.}, language = {en} } @article{JayaramanMummidisettyLoeschetal.2019, author = {Jayaraman, Chandrasekaran and Mummidisetty, Chaitanya Krishna and Loesch, Alexandra and Kaur, Sandi and Hoppe-Ludwig, Shenan and Staat, Manfred and Jayaraman, Arun}, title = {Postural and metabolic benefits of using a forearm support walker in older adults with impairments}, series = {Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation}, volume = {Volume 100}, journal = {Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation}, number = {Issue 4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0003-9993}, doi = {10.1016/j.apmr.2018.10.001}, pages = {638 -- 647}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{AlbannaKotliarLuekeetal.2018, author = {Albanna, Walid and Kotliar, Konstantin and L{\"u}ke, Jan Niklas and Alpdogan, Serdar and Conzen, Catharina and Lindauer, Ute and Clusmann, Hans and Hescheler, J{\"u}rgen and Vilser, Walthard and Schneider, Toni and Schubert, Gerrit Alexander}, title = {Non-invasive evaluation of neurovascular coupling in the murine retina by dynamic retinal vessel analysis}, series = {Plos one}, volume = {13}, journal = {Plos one}, number = {10}, publisher = {PLOS}, address = {San Francisco}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0204689}, pages = {e0204689}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Background Impairment of neurovascular coupling (NVC) was recently reported in the context of subarachnoid hemorrhage and may correlate with disease severity and outcome. However, previous techniques to evaluate NVC required invasive procedures. Retinal vessels may represent an alternative option for non-invasive assessment of NVC. Methods A prototype of an adapted retinal vessel analyzer was used to assess retinal vessel diameter in mice. Dynamic vessel analysis (DVA) included an application of monochromatic flicker light impulses in predefined frequencies for evaluating NVC. All retinae were harvested after DVA and electroretinograms were performed. Results A total of 104 retinal scans were conducted in 21 male mice (90 scans). Quantitative arterial recordings were feasible only in a minority of animals, showing an emphasized reaction to flicker light impulses (8 mice; 14 scans). A characteristic venous response to flicker light, however, could observed in the majority of animals. Repeated measurements resulted in a significant decrease of baseline venous diameter (7 mice; 7 scans, p < 0.05). Ex-vivo electroretinograms, performed after in-vivo DVA, demonstrated a significant reduction of transretinal signaling in animals with repeated DVA (n = 6, p < 0.001).

The physicochemical properties of the supramolecular system as a monolayer at the air-water interface were investigated by surface pressure-area isotherms, surface potential-area isotherms, interfacial shear rheology, vibrational spectroscopy, and Brewster angle microscopy. The floating monolayers were transferred to hydrophilic solid supports, quartz, mica, or capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) devices, through the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, forming mixed films, which were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance, fluorescence spectroscopy, and field emission gun scanning electron microscopy. The enzyme activity was studied with UV-vis spectroscopy, and the feasibility of the thin film as a urea sensor was essayed in an EIS sensor device. The presence of CNT in the enzyme-lipid LB film not only tuned the catalytic activity of urease but also helped to conserve its enzyme activity. Viability as a urease sensor was demonstrated with capacitance-voltage and constant capacitance measurements, exhibiting regular and distinctive output signals over all concentrations used in this work. These results are related to the synergism between the compounds on the active layer, leading to a surface morphology that allowed fast analyte diffusion owing to an adequate molecular accommodation, which also preserved the urease activity. This work demonstrates the feasibility of employing LB films composed of lipids, CNT, algal polysaccharides, and enzymes as EIS devices for biosensing applications.}, language = {en} } @article{RoehlenPilasDahmenetal.2018, author = {R{\"o}hlen, Desiree and Pilas, Johanna and Dahmen, Markus and Keusgen, Michael and Selmer, Thorsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Toward a Hybrid Biosensor System for Analysis of Organic and Volatile Fatty Acids in Fermentation Processes}, series = {Frontiers in Chemistry}, journal = {Frontiers in Chemistry}, number = {6}, publisher = {Frontiers}, address = {Lausanne}, doi = {10.3389/fchem.2018.00284}, pages = {Artikel 284}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Monitoring of organic acids (OA) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) is crucial for the control of anaerobic digestion. In case of unstable process conditions, an accumulation of these intermediates occurs.

Each biosensor utilizes a platinum sensor chip (14 × 14 mm²) with five individual working electrodes. The OA biosensor enables simultaneous measurement of ethanol, formate, d- and l-lactate, based on a bi-enzymatic detection principle. The second VFA biosensor provides an amperometric platform for quantification of acetate and propionate, mediated by oxidation of hydrogen peroxide. The cross-sensitivity of both biosensors toward potential interferents, typically present in fermentation samples, was investigated. The potential for practical application in complex media was successfully demonstrated in spiked sludge samples collected from three different biogas plants. Thereby, the results obtained by both of the biosensors were in good agreement to the applied reference measurements by photometry and gas chromatography, respectively. The proposed hybrid biosensor system was also used for long-term monitoring of a lab-scale biogas reactor (0.01 m³) for a period of 2 months.

This increase was observed to occur earlier in complex partial seizures than in secondarily generalized seizures. We here address the question whether such an increase of neuronal correlation prior to seizure end is indeed a global phenomenon, involving both hemispheres or whether there are side-specific differences. Methods: We analyzed 20 focal onset seizures (10 complex partial, 10 secondarily generalized seizures) recorded in 13 patients who underwent presurgical evaluation of focal epilepsies of different origin. EEG was recorded intracranially from bilaterally implanted subdural strip and intrahippocampal depth electrodes. Utilizing a moving window approach, we investigated the evolution of the maximum cross correlation for all channel combinations during seizures. For each moving window the mean value of the maximum cross correlation (MCC) between all electrode contacts was computed separately for each hemisphere. After normalization of seizure durations, MCC values of the ipsi- and contralateral hemisphere for all seizures were determined. Results: We observed that the MCC of the contralateral hemisphere in complex partial seizures increased during the first half of the seizure, whereas, for the same time interval, the MCC of the ipsilateral hemisphere even declined below the level of the pre-seizure period. In contrast, no significant differences between both hemispheres could be observed for secondarily generalized seizures where both hemispheres showed a simultaneous increase of MCC during the second half of the seizures. The level of MCC for the contralateral hemisphere was higher for complex partial seizures than for secondarily generalized seizures during the first half of the seizure. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that there are indeed lateralized differences in the evolution of global neuronal correlation during complex partial and secondarily generalized seizures. The observed contralateral increase of neuronal correlation during complex partial seizures might indicate an emerging self-organizing mechanism for preventing the spread of seizure activity.}, language = {en} } @article{BialonskiAllefeldWellmeretal.2008, author = {Bialonski, Stephan and Allefeld, C. and Wellmer, J. and Elger, C. and Lehnertz, K.}, title = {An approach to identify synchronization clusters within the epileptic network}, series = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, volume = {39}, journal = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1055/s-2008-1072881}, pages = {A79}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{SchindlerBialonskiHorstmannetal.2008, author = {Schindler, Kaspar A. and Bialonski, Stephan and Horstmann, Marie-Therese and Elger, Christian E. and Lehnertz, Klaus}, title = {Evolving functional network properties and synchronizability during human epileptic seizures}, series = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, volume = {18}, journal = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, number = {3}, issn = {1089-7682}, doi = {10.1063/1.2966112}, pages = {033119}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{LehnertzBialonskiHorstmannetal.2009, author = {Lehnertz, Klaus and Bialonski, Stephan and Horstmann, Marie-Therese and Krug, Dieter and Rothkegel, Alexander and Staniek, Matth{\"a}us and Wagner, Tobias}, title = {Synchronization phenomena in human epileptic brain networks}, series = {Journal of neuroscience methods}, volume = {183}, journal = {Journal of neuroscience methods}, number = {1}, issn = {0165-0270}, doi = {10.1016/j.jneumeth.2009.05.015}, pages = {42 -- 48}, year = {2009}, 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.

As a final result, we will derive and tabulate the frequency-dependent electrical parameters of the spore layer using a novel model that combines experimental data with numerical optimization techniques.}, language = {en} } @article{BronderJessingPoghossianetal.2018, author = {Bronder, Thomas and Jessing, Max P. and Poghossian, Arshak and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Detection of PCR-Amplified Tuberculosis DNA Fragments with Polyelectrolyte-Modified Field-Effect Sensors}, series = {Analytical Chemistry}, volume = {90}, journal = {Analytical Chemistry}, number = {12}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {0003-2700}, doi = {10.1021/acs.analchem.8b01807}, pages = {7747 -- 7753}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Field-effect-based electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) sensors were modified with a bilayer of positively charged weak polyelectrolyte (poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)) and probe single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and are used for the detection of complementary single-stranded target DNA (cDNA) in different test solutions.

However, depending on the beam angle of the light source, scattering effects can occur, which influence the recorded signal in LAPS-based differential measurements. To solve this problem, a novel illumination unit based on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) consisting of 16 small-sized tunable infrared laser-diode modules (LDMs) is developed. Due to the improved focus of the LDMs with a beam angle of only 2 mrad, undesirable scattering effects are minimized.

To counter-act its influence on the jump length, the International Ski Federation (FIS) has introduced a wind compensation approach. We applied three differently accurate computer models of the flight phase with wind (M1, M2, and M3) to study the jump length effects of various wind scenarios. The previously used model M1 is accurate for wind blowing in direction of the flight path, but inaccuracies are to be expected for wind directions deviating from the tangent to the flight path. M2 considers the change of airflow direction, but it does not consider the associated change in the angle of attack of the skis which additionally modifies drag and lift area time functions. M3 predicts the length effect for all wind directions within the plane of the flight trajectory without any mathematical simplification. Prediction errors of M3 are determined only by the quality of the input data: wind velocity, drag and lift area functions, take-off velocity, and weight. For comparing the three models, drag and lift area functions of an optimized reference jump were used. Results obtained with M2, which is much easier to handle than M3, did not deviate noticeably when compared to predictions of the reference model M3. Therefore, we suggest to use M2 in future applications. A comparison of M2 predictions with the FIS wind compensation system showed substantial discrepancies, for instance: in the first flight phase, tailwind can increase jump length, and headwind can decrease it; this is opposite of what had been anticipated before and is not considered in the current wind compensation system in ski jumping.}, language = {en} } @article{JungStaatMueller2018, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Corrigendum to "Flight style optimization in ski jumping on normal, large, and ski flying hills" [J.
