Existing ice-drilling technologies make it cumbersome to maintain microbiologically clean access for sample acquisition and environmental stewardship of potentially fragile subglacial aquatic ecosystems. The IceMole is a maneuverable subsurface ice probe for clean in situ analysis and sampling of glacial ice and subglacial materials. The design is based on the novel concept of combining melting and mechanical propulsion. It can change melting direction by differential heating of the melting head and optional side-wall heaters. The first two prototypes were successfully tested between 2010 and 2012 on glaciers in Switzerland and Iceland. They demonstrated downward, horizontal and upward melting, as well as curve driving and dirt layer penetration. A more advanced probe is currently under development as part of the Enceladus Explorer (EnEx) project. It offers systems for obstacle avoidance, target detection, and navigation in ice. For the EnEx-IceMole, we will pay particular attention to clean protocols for the sampling of subglacial materials for biogeochemical analysis. We plan to use this probe for clean access into a unique subglacial aquatic environment at Blood Falls, Antarctica, with return of a subglacial brine sample.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtForkmannSchultzetal.2019, author = {Schmidt, Katharina and Forkmann, Katarina and Schultz, Heidrun and Gratz, Marcel and Bitz, Andreas and Wiech, Katja and Bingel, Ulrike}, title = {Enhanced Neural Reinstatement for Evoked Facial Pain Compared With Evoked Hand Pain}, series = {The Journal of Pain}, journal = {The Journal of Pain}, number = {In Press, Corrected Proof}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1526-5900}, doi = {10.1016/j.jpain.2019.03.003}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarHanssenEberhardtetal.2013, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Hanssen, Henner and Eberhardt, Karla and Vilser, Walthard and Schmaderer, Christoph and Halle, Martin and Heemann, Uwe and Baumann, Marcus}, title = {Retinal pulse wave velocity in young male normotensive and mildly hypertensive subjects}, series = {Microcirculation}, journal = {Microcirculation}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1549-8719}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtForkmannSinkeetal.2016, author = {Schmidt, Katharina and Forkmann, Katarina and Sinke, C. and Gratz, Marcel and Bitz, Andreas and Bingel, Ulrike}, title = {The differential effect of trigeminal vs. peripheral pain stimulation on visual processing and memory encoding is influenced by pain-related fear}, series = {NeuroImage}, volume = {134}, journal = {NeuroImage}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1053-8119}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.03.026}, pages = {386 -- 395}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Compared to peripheral pain, trigeminal pain elicits higher levels of fear, which is assumed to enhance the interruptive effects of pain on concomitant cognitive processes.

Cerebral activity was measured in 23 healthy subjects performing a visual categorization task that was immediately followed by a surprise recognition task. During the categorization task subjects received concomitant noxious electrical stimulation on the forehead or hand. Our data show that fear ratings were significantly higher for trigeminal pain. Categorization and recognition performance did not differ between pictures that were presented with trigeminal and peripheral pain. However, object categorization in the presence of trigeminal pain was associated with stronger activity in task-relevant visual areas (lateral occipital complex, LOC), memory encoding areas (hippocampus and parahippocampus) and areas implicated in emotional processing (amygdala) compared to peripheral pain. Further, individual differences in neural activation between the trigeminal and the peripheral condition were positively related to differences in fear ratings between both conditions. Functional connectivity between amygdala and LOC was increased during trigeminal compared to peripheral painful stimulation.

These unique microbial ecosystems remain understudied due to the challenges of access through thick glacial ice (tens to hundreds of meters). Additionally, sub-ice collections must be conducted in a clean manner to ensure sample integrity for downstream microbiological and geochemical analyses. We describe the field-based cleaning of a melt probe that was used to collect brine samples from within a glacier conduit at Blood Falls, Antarctica, for geomicrobiological studies. We used a thermoelectric melting probe called the IceMole that was designed to be minimally invasive in that the logistical requirements in support of drilling operations were small and the probe could be cleaned, even in a remote field setting, so as to minimize potential contamination. In our study, the exterior bioburden on the IceMole was reduced to levels measured in most clean rooms, and below that of the ice surrounding our sampling target. Potential microbial contaminants were identified during the cleaning process; however, very few were detected in the final englacial sample collected with the IceMole and were present in extremely low abundances (∼0.063\% of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences).

In this paper we present the first analysis of a subglacial brine from Taylor Valley, (~ 78°S), Antarctica for the trace metals: Ba, Co, Mo, Rb, Sr, V, and U. Samples were collected englacially using an electrothermal melting probe called the IceMole.

The developed sensors response to changes in both the local pH value near the gate surface and the charge of macromolecules induced via enzymatic reaction, resulting in a higher sensitivity. For comparison, an EIS penicillin biosensor with adsorptively immobilised penicillinase has been also studied. The highest penicillin sensitivity of 100 mV/dec has been observed for the EIS sensor functionalised with the PAH/penicillinase multilayer. The lower and upper detection limit was around 20 µM and 10 mM, respectively. In addition, an incorporation of enzymes in a multilayer prepared by layer-by-layer technique provides a larger amount of immobilised enzymes per sensor area, reduces enzyme leaching effects and thus, enhances the biosensor lifetime (the loss of penicillin sensitivity after 2 months was 10-12\%).}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningTsarouchasBeckersetal.1996, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Tsarouchas, D. and Beckers, Leah and Schubert, J. and Zander, W. and Kordoš, P. and L{\"u}th, Hans}, title = {A highly long-term stable silicon-based pH sensor using pulsed laser deposition technique}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B. 35 (1996), H. 1-3}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B. 35 (1996), H. 1-3}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {228 -- 233}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{SchmitzRoetertPischinger1988, author = {Schmitz, G{\"u}nter and Roetert, J. and Pischinger, Martin}, title = {A Fast Intelligent VMEbus System for Combustion Analysis in Engines}, series = {19th [nineteenth] International Symposium on Automotive Technology \& [and] Automation : with particular reference to cell control and quality management systems for the manufacturing industries; Monte Carlo, 24. - 28.

Full optimization of biosensing performance, however, is only reached if the film morphology is suitable for the principle of detection of a specific biosensor. In this paper, we report a detailed morphology analysis of LbL films made with alternating layers of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, which were then covered with a layer of penicillinase (PEN). An optimized performance to detect penicillin G was obtained with 6-bilayer SWNT/PAMAM LbL films deposited on p-Si-SiO2-Ta2O5 chips, used in biosensors based on a capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) and a light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) structure, respectively. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images indicated that the LbL films were porous, with a large surface area due to interconnection of SWNT into PAMAM layers. This morphology was instrumental for the adsorption of a larger quantity of PEN, with the resulting LbL film being highly stable. The experiments to detect penicillin were performed with constant-capacitance (ConCap) and constant-current (CC) measurements for EIS and LAPS sensors, respectively, which revealed an enhanced detection signal and sensitivity of ca. 100 mV/decade for the field-effect sensors modified with the PAMAM/SWNT LbL film. It is concluded that controlling film morphology is essential for an enhanced performance of biosensors, not only in terms of sensitivity but also stability and response time.}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniTranWalugaetal.2009, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Tran, L. and Waluga, C. and Behr, Marek and Oedekoven, B. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Model-based Numerical Analysis of Platelet Adhesion, Thrombus Growth and Aggregation for Assist Devices}, series = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 32 (2009), H. 7}, journal = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 32 (2009), H. 7}, isbn = {0391-3988}, pages = {398 -- 398}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningSchaubZundeletal.1995, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Schaub, A. and Zundel, A. and Beckers, Leah and Schubert, J. and Zander, W. and Kordos, P. and L{\"u}th, H.}, title = {Pulsed laser deposition as a novel thin film preparation method for silicon-based field effect sensors}, series = {Proceedings of the 25th European Solid State Device Research Conference : the Netherlands Congress Centre, The Hague, the Netherlands, 25th - 27th September 1995 / ESSDERC '95.

For this purpose, a dedicated model is developed. It is calibrated on published results of brake tests and validated against a high-definition model for low-speed applications. Based on this model, multiple simulations are executed to obtain a Monte Carlo simulation of the resulting braking distances. Based on the distribution properties and established safety levels, the risk of exceeding certain braking distances is evaluated and maximum braking distances are derived.

The 0.43 nm angular mode spacing of the resonances is comparable to the angular mode spacing value estimated using the optical size of the microsphere. The spectral linewidths of the resonances are in the order of 0.01 nm, which corresponds to quality factors of approximately 105. A polydopamine layer is used as a functionalizing agent on sapphire microspherical resonators in view of biosensor implementation. The varying layer thickness on the microsphere is determined as a function of the resonance wavelength shift. It is shown that polymer functionalization has a minor effect on the quality factor.

The new coefficient is derived from an aerodynamic analysis of ten different unmanned aircraft used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue missions. The aircraft is simulated using a validated unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes approach. The UAV's parasitic drag is significantly influenced by the presence of miscellaneous components like fixed landing gears or electro-optical sensor turrets. These components are responsible for almost half of an unmanned aircraft's total parasitic drag. The new equivalent skin friction coefficient accounts for these effects and is significantly higher compared to other aircraft categories. It is used to initially size an unmanned aircraft for a typical reconnaissance mission. The improved parasitic drag estimation yields a much heavier unmanned aircraft when compared to the sizing results using available drag data of manned aircraft.}, language = {en} } @article{RibitschKarlBirnerGruenbergeretal.2010, author = {Ribitsch, Doris and Karl, Wolfgang and Birner-Gruenberger, Ruth and Gruber, Karl and Eiteljoerg, Inge and Remler, Peter and Wieland, Susanne and Siegert, Petra and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Schwab, Helmut}, title = {C-terminal truncation of a metagenome-derived detergent protease for effective expression in E. coli}, series = {Journal of biotechnology}, volume = {150}, journal = {Journal of biotechnology}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-4863 (E-Journal); 0168-1656 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiotec.2010.09.947}, pages = {408 -- 416}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Recently, a new alkaline protease named HP70 showing highest homology to extracellular serine proteases of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Xanthomonas campestris was found in the course of a metagenome screening for detergent proteases (Niehaus et al., submitted for publication). Attempts to efficiently express the enzyme in common expression hosts had failed. This study reports on the realization of overexpression in Escherichia coli after structural modification of HP70. Modelling of HP70 resulted in a two-domain structure, comprising the catalytic domain and a C-terminal domain which includes about 100 amino acids. On the basis of the modelled structure the enzyme was truncated by deletion of most of the C-terminal domain yielding HP70-C477. This structural modification allowed effective expression of active enzyme using E. coli BL21-Gold as the host. Specific activity of HP70-C477 determined with suc-l-Ala-l-Ala-l-Pro-l-Phe-p-nitroanilide as the substrate was 30 ± 5 U/mg compared to 8 ± 1 U/mg of the native enzyme. HP70-C477 was most active at 40 °C and pH 7-11; these conditions are prerequisite for a potential application as detergent enzyme. Determination of kinetic parameters at 40 °C and pH = 9.5 resulted in KM = 0.23 ± 0.01 mM and kcat = 167.5 ± 3.6 s⁻¹. MS-analysis of peptide fragments obtained from incubation of HP70 and HP70-C477 with insulin B indicated that the C-terminal domain influences the cleavage preferences of the enzyme.

Consequently, within the coal industry, there is a growing recognition of the potential of microbial applications in fostering innovative technologies. Microbial-based coal solubilization, coal beneficiation, and coal dust suppression are green alternatives to traditional thermochemical and leaching technologies and better meet the need for ecologically sound and economically viable choices. Surfactant-mediated approaches have emerged as powerful tools for modeling, simulation, and optimization of coal-microbial systems and continue to gain prominence in clean coal fuel production, particularly in microbiological co-processing, conversion, and beneficiation. Surfactants (surface-active agents) are amphiphilic compounds that can reduce surface tension and enhance the solubility of hydrophobic molecules. A wide range of surfactant properties can be achieved by either directly influencing microbial growth factors, stimulants, and substrates or indirectly serving as frothers, collectors, and modifiers in the processing and utilization of coal. This review highlights the significant biotechnological potential of surfactants by providing a thorough overview of their involvement in coal biodegradation, bioprocessing, and biobeneficiation, acknowledging their importance as crucial steps in coal consumption.}, language = {en} } @article{FreyerKemptKloeser2024, author = {Freyer, Nils and Kempt, Hendrik and Kl{\"o}ser, Lars}, title = {Easy-read and large language models: on the ethical dimensions of LLM-based text simplification}, series = {Ethics and Information Technology}, volume = {26}, journal = {Ethics and Information Technology}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dortrecht}, issn = {1388-1957 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/s10676-024-09792-4}, pages = {10 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The production of easy-read and plain language is a challenging task, requiring well-educated experts to write context-dependent simplifications of texts. Therefore, the domain of easy-read and plain language is currently restricted to the bare minimum of necessary information. Thus, even though there is a tendency to broaden the domain of easy-read and plain language, the inaccessibility of a significant amount of textual information excludes the target audience from partaking or entertainment and restricts their ability to live life autonomously. Large language models can solve a vast variety of natural language tasks, including the simplification of standard language texts to easy-read or plain language. Moreover, with the rise of generative models like GPT, easy-read and plain language may be applicable to all kinds of natural language texts, making formerly inaccessible information accessible to marginalized groups like, a.o., non-native speakers, and people with mental disabilities.

The fusion welding of SLM components made of 316L has so far been rarely investigated and if so, then for highly specialised laser welding processes. When welding with industrial gas welding processes such as MIG/MAG or TIG welding, distortions occur which are associated with the resulting residual stresses in the components. This paper investigates process-side influencing factors to avoid resulting residual stresses in SLM components made of 316L. The aim is to develop a strategy to build up SLM components as stress-free as possible in order to join them as profitably as possible with a downstream welding process. For this purpose, influencing parameters such as laser power, scan speed, but also scan vector length and different scan patterns are investigated with regard to their influence on residual stresses.}, language = {en} } @article{AbbasBalcBremenetal.2024, author = {Abbas, Karim and Balc, Nicolae and Bremen, Sebastian and Hedwig, Lukas}, title = {Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in rapid tooling: advancements and applications for fused filament fabrication of rubber molds}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, volume = {67}, journal = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, number = {1s}, publisher = {Technical University of Cluj-Napoca}, address = {Cluj-Napoca}, issn = {1221-5872}, pages = {13 -- 22}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Establishing high-performance polymers in additive manufacturing opens up new industrial applications. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was initially used in aerospace but is now widely applied in automotive, electronics, and medical industries. This study focuses on developing applications using PEEK and Fused Filament Fabrication for cost-efficient vulcanization injection mold production. A proof of concept confirms PEEK's suitability for AM mold making, withstanding vulcanization conditions. Printing PEEK above its glass transition temperature of 145 °C is preferable due to its narrow process window. A new process strategy at room temperature is discussed, with micrographs showing improved inter-layer bonding at 410°C nozzle temperature and 0.1 mm layer thickness. Minimizing the layer thickness from 0.15 mm to 0.1 mm improves tensile strength by 16\%.}, language = {en} } @article{LuftArntz2024, author = {Luft, Nils and Arntz, Kristian}, title = {The impact and challenges of Industry 4.0 on factory design, organization and management}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, volume = {67}, journal = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, number = {1s}, publisher = {Technical University of Cluj-Napoca}, address = {Cluj-Napoca}, issn = {1221-5872}, pages = {151 -- 158}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The fourth industrial revolution is on its way to reshape manufacturing and value creation in a profound way. The underlying technologies like cyber-physical systems (CPS), big data, collaborative robotics, additive manufacturing or artificial intelligence offer huge potentials for the optimization and evolution of production systems. However, many manufacturing companies struggle to implement these technologies. This can only in part be attributed to the lack of skilled personal within these companies or a missing digitalization strategy. Rather, there is a fundamental incompatibility between the way current production systems and companies (Industry 3.0) are structured across multiple dimensions compared to what is necessary for industry 4.0. This is especially true in manufacturing systems and their transition towards flexible, decentralized and autonomous value creation networks. This paper shows across various dimensions these incompatibilities within manufacturing systems, explores their reasons and discusses a different approach to create a foundation for Industry 4.0 in manufacturing companies.}, language = {en} } @article{MyburghJacobszBothaLeRouxKotliaretal.2024, author = {Myburgh-Jacobsz, Catharina Elizabeth and Botha-Le Roux, Shani and Kotliar, Konstantin and Wentzel, Annemarie and Jacobs, Adriaan and De Boever, Patrick and Goswami, Nandu and Strijdom, Hans and Smith, Wayne}, title = {Retinal vessel functional responses in South Africans living with and without HIV: the EndoAfrica-NWU study}, series = {Microcirculation}, journal = {Microcirculation}, number = {Early View}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Malden, MA}, issn = {1073-9688 (Print)}, doi = {10.1111/micc.12878}, pages = {11 Seiten}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{LuftBalcBremen2024, author = {Luft, Angela and Balc, Nicolae and Bremen, Sebastian}, title = {Experts' perspectives on the adoption of additive manufacturing in the industry and its interrelated implications in production structures}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, volume = {67}, journal = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, number = {1s}, publisher = {Technical University of Cluj-Napoca}, address = {Cluj-Napoca}, issn = {1221-5872}, pages = {159 -- 168}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a topic that is becoming more relevant to many companies globally. With AM's progressive development and use for series production, integrating the technology into existing production structures is becoming an important criterion for businesses. This study qualitatively examines the actual state and different perspectives on the integration of AM in production structures. Seven semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed. The interview partners were high-level experts in Additive Manufacturing and production systems from industry and science. Four main themes were identified. Key findings are the far-reaching interrelationships and implications of AM within production structures. Specific AM-related aspects were identified. Those can be used to increase the knowledge and practical application of the technology in the industry and as a foundation for economic considerations.}, language = {en} } @article{GrundmannBauerBieleetal.2019, author = {Grundmann, Jan Thimo and Bauer, Waldemar and Biele, Jens and Boden, Ralf Christian and Ceriotti, Matteo and Cordero, Federico and Dachwald, Bernd and Dumont, Etienne and Grimm, Christian D. and Hercik, David}, title = {Capabilities of Gossamer-1 derived small spacecraft solar sails carrying Mascot-derived nanolanders for in-situ surveying of NEAs}, series = {Acta Astronautica}, volume = {156}, journal = {Acta Astronautica}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0094-5765}, doi = {10.1016/j.actaastro.2018.03.019}, pages = {330 -- 362}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{BaroudWuBohneretal.2003, author = {Baroud, Gamal and Wu, J.Z. and Bohner, Marc and Sponagel, Stefan and Steffen, Thomas}, title = {How to determine the permeability for cement infiltration into osteoporotic cancellous bone}, series = {Medical Engineering \& Physics. 25 (2003), H. 4}, journal = {Medical Engineering \& Physics. 25 (2003), H. 4}, issn = {1350-4533}, pages = {283 -- 288}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Cement augmentation is an emerging surgical procedure in which bone cement is used to infiltrate and reinforce osteoporotic vertebrae. Although this infiltration procedure has been widely applied, it is performed empirically and little is known about the flow characteristics of cement during the injection process. We present a theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the intertrabecular bone permeability during the infiltration procedure. The cement permeability was considered to be dependent on time, bone porosity, and cement viscosity in our analysis. In order to determine the time-dependent permeability, ten cancellous bone cores were harvested from osteoporotic vertebrae, infiltrated with acrylic cement at a constant flow rate, and the pressure drop across the cores during the infiltration was measured. The viscosity dependence of the permeability was determined based on published experimental data. The theoretical model for the permeability as a function of bone porosity and time was then fit to the testing data. Our findings suggest that the intertrabecular bone permeability depends strongly on time. For instance, the initial permeability (60.89 mm4/N.s) reduced to approximately 63\% of its original value within 18 seconds. This study is the first to analyze cement flow through osteoporotic bone. The theoretical and experimental models provided in this paper are generic. Thus, they can be used to systematically study and optimize the infiltration process for clinical practice.}, subject = {Osteoporose}, language = {en} } @article{HajAyedKustererFunkeetal.2017, author = {Haj-Ayed, Anis and Kusterer, Karsten and Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Bohn, Dieter E.}, title = {CFD based exploration of the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion technology at increased energy densities}, series = {Propulsion and Power Research}, volume = {6}, journal = {Propulsion and Power Research}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {2212-540X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jppr.2017.01.005}, pages = {15 -- 24}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{HajAyedKustererFunkeetal.2015, author = {Haj-Ayed, Anis and Kusterer, Karsten A. and Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Striegan, Constantin and Bohn, Dieter E.}, title = {Experimental and numerical investigations of the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion chamber of an industrial gas turbine}, series = {Propulsion and power research}, volume = {Vol. 4}, journal = {Propulsion and power research}, number = {Iss. 3}, issn = {2212-540X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jppr.2015.07.005}, pages = {123 -- 131}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{HajAyedKustererFunkeetal.2015, author = {Haj-Ayed, Anis and Kusterer, Karsten, A. and Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Striegan, Constantin and Bohn, Dieter E.}, title = {Improvement study for the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion technology}, series = {Propulsion and power research}, volume = {Vol. 4}, journal = {Propulsion and power research}, number = {Iss. 3}, issn = {2212-540X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jppr.2015.07.003}, pages = {132 -- 140}, year = {2015}, language = {en} }
