Gerade unsichtbarer M{\"u}ll birgt f{\"u}r den Menschen und seine Umwelt erhebliche Gefahren, die durch seine Unsichtbarkeit irrelevant erscheinen. Die Publikation mit dem Titel mikromakro deckt durch verschiedene Artikel, Interviews und Texte die Gefahren auf, die durch den unsichtbaren M{\"u}ll entstehen. Ziel war es, eine Bookazine-Reihe zu konzipieren, die in sechs Ausgaben das Thema des unsichtbaren M{\"u}lls beleuchtet. Die erste Ausgabe zum Thema Kunststoff wurde exemplarisch gestaltet. Zus{\"a}tzlich zum redaktionellen Teil untermauern Infografiken die Texte faktisch und Fotoserien emotional.

Dies wird zus{\"a}tzlich durch das mangelnde Angebot an inklusiven Freizeitaktivit{\"a}ten erschwert. Apollon erm{\"o}glicht Menschen mit starker Sehbehinderung die Orientierung w{\"a}hrend des Kletterns, indem es einerseits Informationen vermittelt, die normalerweise nur visuell wahrgenommen werden k{\"o}nnen und andererseits dabei hilft, sich besser an bereits gekletterte Routen zu erinnern. Das System setzt sich aus 3 Komponenten zusammen. Die Tritthilfen helfen der blinden Person dabei, auch kleine Tritte zu finden. Die taktilen Wegmarken stellen eine Art Checkpoint dar und helfen der blinden Person dabei, die Route in mehrere Abschnitte zu unterteilen. Gleichzeitig weisen sie darauf hin, welches Feature die kletternde Person erwartet. Die taktile Karte ist modular aufgebaut und setzt sich aus einer Legende und den Repr{\"a}sentanten der Wegmarken einer Route zusammen.

Special attention is currently paid to the training of operators and study directors involved in qNMR testing. To assure that only qualified personnel are used for sample preparation at our GxP-accredited laboratory, weighing test was proposed. Sixteen participants performed six-fold weighing of the binary mixture of dibutylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and 1,2,4,5-tetrachloro-3-nitrobenzene (TCNB). To evaluate the quality of data analysis, all spectra were evaluated manually by a qNMR expert and using in-house developed automated routine. The results revealed that mean values are comparable and both evaluation approaches are free of systematic error. However, automated evaluation resulted in an approximately 20\% increase in precision. The same findings were revealed for qNMR analysis of 32 compounds used in pharmaceutical industry. Weighing test by six-fold determination in binary mixtures and automated qNMR methodology can be recommended as efficient tools for evaluating staff proficiency. The automated qNMR method significantly increases throughput and precision of qNMR for routine measurements and extends application scope of qNMR.}, language = {en} } @article{EngelmannShalabyShashaetal.2021, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Shalaby, Ahmed and Shasha, Carolyn and Krishnan, Kannan M. and Krause, Hans-Joachim}, title = {Comparative modeling of frequency mixing measurements of magnetic nanoparticles using micromagnetic simulations and Langevin theory}, series = {Nanomaterials}, volume = {11}, journal = {Nanomaterials}, number = {5}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, isbn = {2079-4991}, doi = {10.3390/nano11051257}, pages = {1 -- 16}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Dual frequency magnetic excitation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) enables enhanced biosensing applications. This was studied from an experimental and theoretical perspective: nonlinear sum-frequency components of MNP exposed to dual-frequency magnetic excitation were measured as a function of static magnetic offset field. The Langevin model in thermodynamic equilibrium was fitted to the experimental data to derive parameters of the lognormal core size distribution. These parameters were subsequently used as inputs for micromagnetic Monte-Carlo (MC)-simulations. From the hysteresis loops obtained from MC-simulations, sum-frequency components were numerically demodulated and compared with both experiment and Langevin model predictions. From the latter, we derived that approximately 90\% of the frequency mixing magnetic response signal is generated by the largest 10\% of MNP. We therefore suggest that small particles do not contribute to the frequency mixing signal, which is supported by MC-simulation results. Both theoretical approaches describe the experimental signal shapes well, but with notable differences between experiment and micromagnetic simulations. These deviations could result from Brownian relaxations which are, albeit experimentally inhibited, included in MC-simulation, or (yet unconsidered) cluster-effects of MNP, or inaccurately derived input for MC-simulations, because the largest particles dominate the experimental signal but concurrently do not fulfill the precondition of thermodynamic equilibrium required by Langevin theory.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Wild2021, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Wild, Lisa}, title = {UKIYO: Eine Neuinterpretation der fließenden Welt}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, school = {Fachhochschule Aachen}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Ukiyo kommt aus dem Japanischen und bedeutet {\"u}bersetzt so viel wie: „Den Moment leben, ohne von den Sorgen des Lebens ber{\"u}hrt zu werden."

For conductivity measurements, we utilize the impedance amplitude recorded via interdigitated electrode structures at a single triggering frequency. The results are well in line with data obtained using a calibrated reference instrument. The new setup holds for conductivity values spanning almost two orders of magnitude (river versus ocean water) without the need for equivalent circuit modelling. Temperature measurements were performed in four-point geometry with an on-chip platinum RTD (resistance temperature detector) in the temperature range between 2 °C and 40 °C, showing no hysteresis effects between warming and cooling cycles. Although the meander was not shielded against the liquid, the temperature calibration provided equivalent results to low conductive Milli-Q and highly conductive ocean water. The sensor is therefore suitable for inline and online monitoring purposes in recirculating aquaculture systems.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Martinez2023, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Martinez, Mariana}, title = {The Taste of Memories : a recipe book of memories}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {110 Seiten}, year = {2023}, abstract = {What does the word 'home' means and at what age do we give it meaning? Many of us grew up in one, in a home that our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and relatives shaped. Who, as we grew up, taught us about the world from their perspective as we interpreted and saw it for the first time and with it, its colors, its smells, its tastes, its sounds, its dances, and its languages. When we migrate, we take all that with us, like a piece of luggage that was stored in some corner inside a lung, or inside the memory in a heart's artery. And then you arrive in this new world, which we were told was the Old World, with other colors, other flavors, other words, in which yours no longer make sense. And you try to connect with all your senses, but, above all, we try to belong, because we belonged all our lives to something, to someone, to some place where we learned to be. When we migrate, without saying, we go through the grieve that comes with the beautiful discomfort of leaving everything we once knew. We mourn, because we can't go to lunch at our grandmas on Sundays, or have mom bring us soup when we are sick, or the Christmas meals and celebrations that we like so much, or that special dish that was made for us on our birthdays or on a family BBQ on a Sunday or a holiday. I wonder if emotions come inside us through the taste and respiratory track, if it is that we breathe life, and with that what we love finds its ways inside and finds its corner somewhere in the body. If what we have loved and what we have lived hides somewhere in our body, I doubtlessly think it came in through one of our senses, and in this attempt at my first illustrated book I'll share which, I think, are the senses through which at first instance part of what we perceive as cultural identity enters.}, language = {de} } @misc{Rouenhoff2022, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Rouenhoff, Saskia}, title = {Blind - invisible connection : ein Spiel zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den sozialen Medien.}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {321 Seiten}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Im Computerspiel „blind - invisible connection" taucht der Spieler in eine Fantasiewelt ein, die die sozialen Medien widerspiegelt und von einer Maschine beherrscht wird.
