This study introduces for the first time a novel 'suspension depletion' approach for exemption of Solanum jasminoides plants from viroids. The proposed method implies initial establishment of suspension cultures of the infected plant cells. The suspended cells were then physically treated (mild thermotherapy, 33 °C), which presumably delayed the replication of the viroid. 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. The treated single cells then gave rise to microcolonies on a solid culture medium and the obtained viroid-negative clones were further promoted to regenerate into viroid-free plants. Three years of accumulated experimental data suggests feasibility, broad applicability, and good efficacy of the proposed approach.}, language = {en} } @article{HirschfeldLustfeldReisseletal.2010, author = {Hirschfeld, Julian A. and Lustfeld, Hans and Reißel, Martin and Steffen, Bernhard}, title = {A novel scheme for precise diagnostics and effective stabilization of currents in a fuel cell stack}, series = {International Journal of Energy Research}, volume = {34}, journal = {International Journal of Energy Research}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {London}, issn = {0363-907X}, doi = {10.1002/er.1662}, pages = {293 -- 301}, year = {2010}, abstract = {A novel scheme for detecting inhomogeneous internal currents in a fuel cell stack is presented. In this paper the scheme is investigated for the case that the flow field plates consist of graphite. Then plates of high conductivity, e.g. aluminium between the flow field plates together with small slits in these plates have three effects: (a) Whenever a local inhomogeneity of the electric current occurs at a particular cell in the stack, this will induce a surface current close to that cell perpendicular to the averaged current. This current can be detected. (b) The plates of high conductivity completely prevent the inhomogeneities from spreading to neighbouring cells. (c) Even at the particular cell the inhomogeneity is suppressed as far as possible. Thus this scheme leads to much better diagnostic possibilities and at the same time reduces electric instabilities to an extent, where they probably become harmless. This scheme will first be explained for a simple model to clarify the idea. However, very precise three dimensional computations using realistic parameters are presented, corroborating the results of the simple model.}, language = {en} } @article{HirschfeldLustfeldReisseletal.2010, author = {Hirschfeld, Julian A. and Lustfeld, Hans and Reißel, Martin and Steffen, Bernhard}, title = {Tomographic diagnostics of current distributions in a fuel cell stack}, series = {International Journal of Energy Research}, volume = {34}, journal = {International Journal of Energy Research}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {London}, issn = {0363-907X}, doi = {10.1002/er.1634}, pages = {284 -- 292}, year = {2010}, abstract = {A novel tomographic scheme for analysing the state of any single membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in a stack is suggested. Plates of very high conductivity placed between every fuel cell and slitted in an appropriate manner cause surface currents at well-defined locations of the stack. We show that knowing these surface currents, information about anomalies of the currents in a MEA can be obtained using the methods of tomography. The results are mathematically not unique. However, when assuming plausible defect structures, one can exclude improbable deficiencies by applying a special form of simulated annealing. We present numerical calculations of typical examples demonstrating that the essential defects of the MEA in any single cell of the stack can be detected and their extent can be determined.}, language = {en} }
