His question became therefore: are there two whole numbers the cubes of which add up to the volume of the cube of a third whole number? He posed this same question, of course, for all kinds of higher exponents, so that the equation could be generalized: is there an integral solution for the equation an + bn = cn, if the exponent n is higher than 2? Although in 1993, the English mathematician Andrew Wiles was able to produce an arithmetical proof for Fermat's famous theorem, I will show that there is a simple logical explanation which is also pragmatic and plausible and what is the result of a fundamental alternative idea how our world seems to be constructed.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchoeningPoghossianGluecketal.2014, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Poghossian, Arshak and Gl{\"u}ck, Olaf and Thust, Marion}, title = {Electrochemical composition measurement}, series = {Measurement, instrumentation, and sensors handbook: electromagnetic, optical, radiation, chemical, and biomedical measuremen}, booktitle = {Measurement, instrumentation, and sensors handbook: electromagnetic, optical, radiation, chemical, and biomedical measuremen}, edition = {2nd ed.}, publisher = {CRC Pr.}, address = {Boca Raton, Fa.}, isbn = {978-1-4398-4891-3}, pages = {55-1 -- 55-54}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{Laack2014, author = {Laack, Walter van}, title = {Nature is much smarter than expected: the Genetic Code is not degenerate}, series = {American journal of humanities and social sciences}, volume = {Vol. 2}, journal = {American journal of humanities and social sciences}, number = {No. 1}, issn = {2329-0781 (Print) ; 2329-079X (Online)}, pages = {10 -- 12}, year = {2014}, abstract = {In any books about genetics it can still today be read that our genetic code is called "degenerate" because it is still believed that 43 = 64 triplets encode the 20 essential amino acids. Indeed we have to assume the inverse law, what means that 34 = 81 exact code positions are really effective for our genetic code and encode the amino acids, compiled to proteins. This very important discovery leads to two completely new results that are limits-overlooking: 1) 34 (=81) genetic code positions mean exactly the same number as there are stable and naturally existing chemical elements in our universe. This famous argument should now lead to some alternative, as well as new fundamental conclusions about our existence. 2) A genetic code positioning system shows that nature is much smarter than expected: mutations are made less dangerous than believed, because they won't be that easily able any more to cause severe damages in the protein-synthesis. This should also lead to some alternative views upon evolution of life.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuniatyanHuckPoghossianetal.2014, author = {Buniatyan, V.

Therefore, besides the monitoring of the degradation process, it is also necessary to control the medium in which the degradation takes place. In this work, a micromachined multi-parameter sensor chip for the control of the polymer-degradation medium has been developed. The chip combines a capacitive field-effect pH sensor, a four-electrode electrolyte-conductivity sensor and a thin-film Pt-temperature sensor. The results of characterization of individual sensors are presented. In addition, the multi-parameter sensor chip together with an impedimetric polymer-degradation sensor was simultaneously characterized in degradation solutions with different pH and electrolyte conductivity. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the multi-parameter sensor chip for the control of the polymer-degradation medium.}, language = {en} } @article{HuckPoghossianBaeckeretal.2014, author = {Huck, Christina and Poghossian, Arshak and B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Chaudhuri, S. and Zander, W. and Schubert, J. and Begoyan, V.

Due to the impact of the surface resistance, both types of IDE structures display a non-linear behavior in low-ionic strength solutions. The experimental data were fitted to an electrical equivalent circuit and interpreted taking into account the surface-charge-governed properties. The effect of a charged polyelectrolyte layer electrostatically assembled onto the sensor surface on the surface resistance in solutions with different KCl concentration is studied. In case of the same electrode footprint, 3D-IDEs show a larger cell constant and a higher sensitivity to molecular adsorption than that of planar IDEs.
