This probe, named "IceMole", is currently developed, built, and tested at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences' Astronautical Laboratory. Here, we describe its first prototype design and report the results of its field tests on the Swiss Morteratsch glacier. Although the IceMole design is currently adapted to terrestrial glaciers and ice shields, it may later be modified for the subsurface in-situ investigation of extraterrestrial ice, e.g., on Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. If life exists on those bodies, it may be present in the ice (as life can also be found in the deep ice of Earth).}, subject = {Eisschicht}, 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). We here describe a sequential centrifugation protocol to obtain SPION with well-defined sizes from a polydisperse SPION starting formulation, synthesized using the routinely employed co-precipitation technique. Transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analyses show that the SPION fractions obtained upon size-isolation are well-defined and almost monodisperse. MRI, MPI and MFH analyses demonstrate improved imaging and hyperthermia performance for size-isolated SPION as compared to the polydisperse starting mixture, as well as to commercial and clinically used iron oxide nanoparticle formulations, such as Resovist® and Sinerem®. The size-isolation protocol presented here may help to identify SPION with optimal properties for diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic applications.}, language = {en} } @article{DahlSuttrop1998, author = {Dahl, G{\"u}nter and Suttrop, F.}, title = {Engine control and low-NO(x) combustion for hydrogen fuelled aircraft gas turbines}, series = {International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. 23 (1998), H. 8}, journal = {International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. 23 (1998), H. 8}, isbn = {0360-3199}, pages = {695 -- 704}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DalguerChurilovButenwegetal.2014, author = {Dalguer, Luis A. and Churilov, Sergey and Butenweg, Christoph and Renault, Philippe and Hyun, An Jun}, title = {Dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete electrical nuclear building of SMART 2013 project subjected to earthquake excitation using ABAQUS}, series = {Workshop SMART2013 : Paris, France, November 25th - 27th, 2014}, booktitle = {Workshop SMART2013 : Paris, France, November 25th - 27th, 2014}, organization = {Workshop SMART2013 <2014, Paris>}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DalguerRenaultChurilovetal.2016, author = {Dalguer, Luis A. and Renault, Philippe and Churilov, Sergey and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Evaluation of fragility curves for a three-storey-reinforced-concrete mock-up of SMART 2013 project}, series = {Transactions, SMiRT-23 : 23rd Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology : Manchester, United Kingdom - August 10-14, 2015}, booktitle = {Transactions, SMiRT-23 : 23rd Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology : Manchester, United Kingdom - August 10-14, 2015}, organization = {Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology <23, 2015, Manchester>}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{DallasSalphatiGomezZepedaetal.2016, author = {Dallas, Shannon and Salphati, Laurent and Gomez-Zepeda, David and Wanek, Thomas and Chen, Liangfu and Chu, Xiaoyan and Kunta, Jeevan and Mezler, Mario and Menet, Marie-Claude and Chasseigneaux, Stephanie and Decl{\`e}ves, Xavier and Langer, Oliver and Pierre, Esaie and DiLoreto, Karen and Hoft, Carolin and Laplanche, Loic and Pang, Jodie and Pereira, Tony and Andonian, Clara and Simic, Damir and Rode, Anja and Yabut, Jocelyn and Zhang, Xiaolin and Scheer, Nico}, title = {Generation and Characterization of a Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Humanized Mouse Model}, series = {Molecular Pharmacology}, volume = {89}, journal = {Molecular Pharmacology}, number = {5}, publisher = {ASPET}, address = {Bethesda, Md.}, issn = {1521-0111}, doi = {10.1124/mol.115.102079}, pages = {492 -- 504}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is expressed in various tissues, such as the gut, liver, kidney and blood brain barrier (BBB), where it mediates the unidirectional transport of substrates to the apical/luminal side of polarized cells. Thereby BCRP acts as an efflux pump, mediating the elimination or restricting the entry of endogenous compounds or xenobiotics into tissues and it plays important roles in drug disposition, efficacy and safety. Bcrp knockout mice (Bcrp-/-) have been used widely to study the role of this transporter in limiting intestinal absorption and brain penetration of substrate compounds. Here we describe the first generation and characterization of a mouse line humanized for BCRP (hBCRP), in which the mouse coding sequence from the start to stop codon was replaced with the corresponding human genomic region, such that the human transporter is expressed under control of the murine Bcrp promoter. We demonstrate robust human and loss of mouse BCRP/Bcrp mRNA and protein expression in the hBCRP mice and the absence of major compensatory changes in the expression of other genes involved in drug metabolism and disposition. Pharmacokinetic and brain distribution studies with several BCRP probe substrates confirmed the functional activity of the human transporter in these mice. Furthermore, we provide practical examples for the use of hBCRP mice to study drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The hBCRP mouse is a promising model to study the in vivo role of human BCRP in limiting absorption and BBB penetration of substrate compounds and to investigate clinically relevant DDIs involving BCRP.}, language = {en} } @article{DammErlerHillenetal.2011, author = {Damm, Alexander and Erler, Andr{\´e} and Hillen, Walter and Meroni, Michele and Schaepman, Michael E. and Verhoef, Wout and Rascher, Uwe}, title = {Modeling the impact of spectral sensor configurations on the FLD retrieval accuracy of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence}, series = {Remote Sensing of Environment}, volume = {115}, journal = {Remote Sensing of Environment}, number = {8}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {0034-4257}, pages = {1882 -- 1892}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{DammSauerbornFendetal.2017, author = {Damm, Marc Andr{\´e} and Sauerborn, Markus and Fend, Thomas and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Optimisation of a urea selective catalytic reduction system with a coated ceramic mixing element}, series = {Journal of ceramic science and technology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Journal of ceramic science and technology}, number = {1}, publisher = {G{\"o}ller}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {2190-9385 (Print)}, issn = {2190-9385 (Online)}, doi = {10.4416/JCST2016-00056}, pages = {19 -- 24}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DammRahierRitzetal.2013, author = {Damm, Sebastian and Rahier, Michael and Ritz, Thomas and Sch{\"a}fer, Thomas}, title = {Architecture for platform- and hardware-independent mesh networks : how to unify the channels}, series = {ICSNC 2013 : The Eighth International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications ; October 27, 2013 to October 31, 2013, Venice Italy}, booktitle = {ICSNC 2013 : The Eighth International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications ; October 27, 2013 to October 31, 2013, Venice Italy}, editor = {Davoli, Renzo}, publisher = {Curran Associates}, address = {Red Hook, NY}, isbn = {978-1-61208-305-6}, pages = {131 -- 134}, year = {2013}, abstract = {This paper will prove that mesh networks among different platforms and hardware channels can help to channel valuable information even if public telecommunication infrastructure is not available due to arbitrary reasons.
