The surface oxidizing procedure of NCD thin films as well as the seeding and NCD growth process on a Si-SiO2 substrate have been improved to provide high pH-sensitive, non-porous thin films without damage of the underlying SiO2 layer and with a high coverage of O-terminated sites. The NCD surface topography, roughness, and coverage of the surface groups have been characterized by SEM, AFM and XPS methods. The EDIS sensors with O-terminated NCD film treated in oxidizing boiling mixture for 45 min show a pH sensitivity of about 50 mV/pH. The pH-sensitive properties of the NCD have been used to develop an EDIS-based penicillin biosensor with high sensitivity (65-70 mV/decade in the concentration range of 0.25-2.5 mM penicillin G) and low detection limit (5 μM).

In those scenarios the dedicated resources execute submitted jobs according to the request of a workflow engine or Grid wide scheduler. This approach has various limitations, particularly if human interactions should be integrated in workflow execution. To support human interactions with the benefit of enabling inter organizational computation and community approaches, this poster paper proposes the idea of a pull-based task distribution strategy. Here, heterogeneous resources, including human interaction, should actively select tasks for execution from a central repository. This leads to special demands regarding security issues like access control. In the established push-based job execution the resources are responsible for granting access to workflows and job initiators. In general this is done by access control lists, where users are explicitly mapped to local accounts according to their policies. In the pull-based approach the resources actively apply for job executions by sending requests to a central task repository. This means that every resource has to be able to authenticate against the repository to be authorized for task execution. In other words the authorization is relocated from the resources to the repository. The poster paper introduces current work regarding to the mentioned security aspects in the pull-based approach within the scope of the project "HiX4AGWS".}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniProbstMaietal.2010, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Probst, M. and Mai, A. and Tran, L. and Vonderstein, K. and Keschenau, P. and Linde, T. and Steinseifer, U. and Behr, Marek and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {The influence of high shear on thrombosis and hemolysis in artificial organs}, series = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs}, volume = {33}, journal = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs}, number = {7}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {0391-3988}, pages = {426 -- 426}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniProbstMaietal.2010, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Probst, M. and Mai, A. and Behr, Marek and Tran, L. and Vonderstein, K. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Numerical Prediction of Blood Damage in Biomedical Devices}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @misc{BehbahaniNamWalugaetal.2010, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Nam, J. and Waluga, C. and Behr, Marek and Pasquali, M. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Modeling and Numerical Analysis of Platelet Activation, Adhesion and Aggregation in Artificial Organs}, series = {ASAIO Journal}, volume = {56}, journal = {ASAIO Journal}, number = {2}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {1538-943X}, doi = {10.1097/01.mat.0000369377.65122.a3}, pages = {85}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Purpose of Study: Thrombosis-related complications are among the leading causes for morbidity and mortality in patients who depend on artificial organs. For the prediction of platelet behavior both the flow conditions inside the device and the thrombogenic properties of the blood-contacting surfaces must be considered. Platelet reactions under the influence of well-defined shear rates are experimentally evaluated and numerically simulated. The approach is intended for the analysis of VAD and oxygenator design. Methods Used: A mathematical model of platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation has been implemented into a finite element CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code. The approach is based on the advective and diffusive transport equations for resting and activated platelets and platelet released agonists. Experiments with citrate-anticoagulated freshly-drawn whole blood are performed in a perfusion flow chamber as well as in a system of rotating cylinders for Couette and Taylor-vortex flow. Different biomaterials are used. The activation, adhesion and aggregation are quantified using scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry. Summary of Results: Regions and flow conditions with a high potential for thrombus growth could be identified. The experiments clearly show the influence of the blood contacting material and governing shear rates. Numerical analysis can explain observed adhesion patterns and the degree of thrombus formation}, language = {en} }
