A major problem of this PM is the nonuniform channel gain. In order to solve this problem, light attenuating masks were created. The aim of the masks is a homogenization of the output of all 64 channels using different hole sizes at the channel positions. The hole area, which is individually defined for the different channels, is inversely proportional to the channel gain. The measurements by inserting light attenuating masks improved a homogenization to a ratio of 1:1.2.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherRaatschenStaat2012, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Raatschen, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Effectiveness of the edge-based smoothed finite element method applied to soft biological tissues}, series = {ESMC-2012 - 8th European Solid Mechanics Conference, Graz, Austria, July 9-13, 2012}, booktitle = {ESMC-2012 - 8th European Solid Mechanics Conference, Graz, Austria, July 9-13, 2012}, editor = {Holzapfel, Gerhard A.}, publisher = {Verlag d.

In order to localize an event each channel anode is connected to a comparator that triggers when the anode signal exceeds a common predefined threshold. Two major difficulties here are crosstalk of light and the gain nonuniformity of the PMT channels. Crosstalk can generate false triggering in channels adjacent to the actual event. On the one hand this can be suppressed by sufficiently increasing the threshold, but on the other hand a threshold too high can already prevent valid events on the lower gain channels from being detected. Finally, both effects restrict the dynamic range of pulse heights that can be processed. The requirements to the dynamic range are not low as the ClearPET® scanners detect the depth of interaction by phoswich pixels consisting of LSO and Lu0.7Y0.3AP, two scintillators with different light yields.

By sequentially labelling the tumour-bearing animals with ¹²⁵IUdR and ¹³¹IUdR 50 h apart, the average tumour cells at the time of the second injection are labelled by ¹²⁵IUdR and the euoxic tumour cells are specifically labelled with ¹³¹IUdR. Tumour treatment at this stage of labelling permits the observation of the reaction of euoxic cells and average tumour cells and finally yields data on hypoxic cells and thus on the oxygen enhancement ratio. This information adds to results from tumour control and growth delay. With this technique effects were analysed of 60-Co γ-rays, cyclotron neutrons (E = 6 MeV), misonidazole (500 mg/kg body wt) and hyperthermia (42°C water-bath), or combinations of these. Misonidazole (15 min before irradiation) altered the oxygen enhancement ratio by a factor of 1·5 for γ-rays and of 1·1 for neutrons; when evaluated from tumour-growth delay and TCD-50 misonidazole gave a dose modifying factor of 1·47 for γ-rays and of 1·2-1·3 for neutrons. Based on percentage tumour regression 100 days after treatment, the enhancement ratio from hyperthermia (after irradiation) was 2·75 for γ-rays (at 10 Gray) and 2·2 for neutrons (at 3·2 Gray). For neutrons combined with misonidazole and hyperthermia the ratio was 2·4.

The realization of the new skin-worn non-invasive tattoo-like sensing device has been realized by amalgamating several state-of-the-art thick film, laser printing, solid-state potentiometry, fluidics and wireless technologies. The resulting tattoo-based potentiometric sodium sensor displays a rapid near-Nernstian response with negligible carryover effects, and good resiliency against various mechanical deformations experienced by the human epidermis. On-body testing of the tattoo sensor coupled to a wireless transceiver during exercise activity demonstrated its ability to continuously monitor sweat sodium dynamics. The real-time sweat sodium concentration was transmitted wirelessly via a body-worn transceiver from the sodium tattoo sensor to a notebook while the subjects perspired on a stationary cycle. The favorable analytical performance along with the wearable nature of the wireless transceiver makes the new epidermal potentiometric sensing system attractive for continuous monitoring the sodium dynamics in human perspiration during diverse activities relevant to the healthcare, fitness, military, healthcare and skin-care domains.}, language = {en} } @article{ReisertGeisslerFloerkeetal.2013, author = {Reisert, Steffen and Geissler, Hanno and Fl{\"o}rke, Rudolf and Weiler, Christian and Wagner, Patrick and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Characterisation of aseptic sterilisation processes using an electronic nose}, series = {International journal of nanotechnology}, volume = {Vol. 10}, journal = {International journal of nanotechnology}, number = {No. 5-7}, publisher = {Inderscience Enterprises}, address = {Gen{\`e}ve}, issn = {1475-7435 (Print) 7141-8151 (Online)}, pages = {470 -- 484}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{JungStaatMueller2013, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Flight style optimization in ski jumping on normal, large, and ski flying hills}, series = {Journal of biomechanics}, volume = {Vol. 47}, journal = {Journal of biomechanics}, number = {Iss. 3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-2380 (E-Journal); 0021-9290 (Print)}, pages = {716 -- 722}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{Dikta2014, author = {Dikta, Gerhard}, title = {Asymptotically efficient estimation under semi-parametric random censorship models}, series = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, volume = {124}, journal = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1095-7243 (E-Journal); 0047-259X (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmva.2013.10.002}, pages = {10 -- 24}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We study the estimation of some linear functionals which are based on an unknown lifetime distribution.

A microfluidic channel was constructed on the sensor surface of the light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), on which the ion concentrations could be measured in parallel at up to 64 points illuminated by optical fibers. The temporal change of pH distribution inside the microfluidic channel was recorded at a maximum rate of 100 frames per second (fps). The high frame rate allowed visualization of moving interfaces and plugs in the channel even at a flow velocity of 111 mm/s, which suggests the feasibility of plug-based microfluidic devices for flow-injection analysis (FIA).}, 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} } @article{MoseleyHalamekKrameretal.2014, author = {Moseley, Fiona and Halamek, Jan and Kramer, Friederike and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Katz, Evgeny}, title = {An enzyme-based reversible CNOT logic gate realized in a flow system}, series = {Analyst}, volume = {139}, journal = {Analyst}, number = {8}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1364-5528 (E-Journal) ; 0003-2654 (Print)}, doi = {10.1039/C4AN00133H}, pages = {1839 -- 1842}, year = {2014}, abstract = {An enzyme system organized in a flow device was used to mimic a reversible Controlled NOT (CNOT) gate with two input and two output signals.

The aim of this study is to differentiate date palm tree varieties by analysing leaflet cross sections with technical/optical methods and artificial neural networks (ANN). Results Fluorescence microscopy images of leaflet cross sections have been taken from a set of five date palm tree cultivars (Hewlat al Jouf, Khlas, Nabot Soltan, Shishi, Um Raheem). After features extraction from images, the obtained data have been fed in a multilayer perceptron ANN with backpropagation learning algorithm. Conclusions Overall, an accurate result in prediction and differentiation of date palm tree cultivars was achieved with average prediction in tenfold cross-validation is 89.1\% and reached 100\% in one of the best ANN.}, language = {en} } @article{SawadaNakazawaTakenagaetal.2014, author = {Sawada, Kazuaki and Nakazawa, Hirokazu and Takenaga, Shoko and Hizawa, Takeshi and Futagawa, Masato and Dasai, Fumihiro and Sakurai, Takashi and Okumura, Koichi and Hattori, Toshiaki and Ishida, Makoto}, title = {Multimodal bioimage sensor}, series = {IEICE transactions on fundamentals of electronics, communidations and computer sciences}, volume = {E97-A (2014)}, journal = {IEICE transactions on fundamentals of electronics, communidations and computer sciences}, number = {3}, publisher = {IEICE}, address = {Tokyo}, issn = {0916-8508 (Print) ; 1745-1337 (Online)}, doi = {10.1587/transfun.E97.A.726}, pages = {726 -- 733}, year = {2014}, abstract = {To visualize the biochemical distribution two-dimensionally, we invented a solid-state-type ion image sensor that indicates the chemical activity of solutions and cells.
