The biosensor consisted of recombinant PNP-degrading/oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas putida JS444 anchoring and displaying organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) on its cell surface as biological sensing element and a dissolved oxygen electrode as the transducer. Surfaceexpressed OPH catalyzed the hydrolysis of fenitrothion and EPN to release 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol, respectively, which were oxidized by the enzymatic machinery of Pseudomonas putida JS444 to carbon dioxide while consuming oxygen, which was measured and correlated to the concentration of organophosphates. Under the optimum operating conditions, the biosensor was able to measure as low as 277 ppb of fenitrothion and 1.6 ppm of EPN without interference from phenolic compounds and other commonly used pesticides such as carbamate pesticides, triazine herbicides and organophosphate pesticides without nitrophenyl substituent. The applicability of the biosensor to lake water was also demonstrated.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LoebSchartnerSeboldtetal.2006, author = {Loeb, Horst W. and Schartner, Karl-Heinz and Seboldt, Wolfgang and Dachwald, Bernd and Streppel, Joern and Meusemann, Hans and Sch{\"u}lke, Peter}, title = {SEP for a lander mission to the jovian moon europa}, series = {57th International Astronautical Congress}, booktitle = {57th International Astronautical Congress}, doi = {10.2514/6.IAC-06-C4.4.04}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Under DLR-contract, Giessen University and DLR Cologne are studying solar-electric propulsion missions (SEP) to the outer regions of the solar system. The most challenging reference mission concerns the transport of a 1.35-tons chemical lander spacecraft into an 80-RJ circular orbit around Jupiter, which would enable to place a 375 kg lander with 50 kg of scientific instruments on the surface of the icy moon "Europa". Thorough analyses show that the best solution in terms of SEP launch mass times thrusting time would be a two-stage EP module and a triple-junction solar array with concentrators which would be deployed step by step. Mission performance optimizations suggest to propel the spacecraft in the first EP stage by 6 gridded ion thrusters, running at 4.0 kV of beam voltage, which would save launch mass, and in the second stage by 4 thrusters with 1.25 to 1.5 kV of positive high voltage saving thrusting time. In this way, the launch mass of the spacecraft would be kept within 5.3 tons. Without a launcher's C3 and interplanetary gravity assists, Jupiter might be reached within about 4 yrs. The spiraling-down into the parking orbit would need another 1.8 yrs. This "large mission" can be scaled down to a smaller one, e.g., by halving all masses, the solar array power, and the number of thrusters. Due to their reliability, long lifetime and easy control, RIT-22 engines have been chosen for mission analysis. Based on precise tests, the thruster performance has been modeled.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MertenConradKaemperetal.2006, author = {Merten, Sabine and Conrad, Thorsten and K{\"a}mper, Klaus-Peter and Picard, Antoni and Sch{\"u}tze, Andreas}, title = {Virtual Technology Labs - an efficient tool for the preparation of hands-on-MEMS-courses in training foundries}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Hands-on-training in high technology areas is usually limited due to the high cost for lab infrastructure and equipment. One specific example is the field of MEMS, where investment and upkeep of clean rooms with microtechnology equipment is either financed by production or R\&D projects greatly reducing the availability for education purposes. For efficient hands-on-courses a MEMS training foundry, currently used jointly by six higher education institutions, was established at FH Kaiserslautern. In a typical one week course, students manufacture a micromachined pressure sensor including all lithography, thin film and packaging steps. This compact and yet complete program is only possible because participants learn to use the different complex machines in advance via a Virtual Training Lab (VTL). In this paper we present the concept of the MEMS training foundry and the VTL preparation together with results from a scientific evaluation of the VTL over the last three years.}, subject = {Virtuelles Laboratorium}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MeskourisMistlerButenweg2006, author = {Meskouris, Konstantin and Mistler, Michael and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Mauerwerksbauten unter Erdbebenbelastung}, series = {Numerische Methoden zur Probleml{\"o}sung im konstruktiven Bauwesen : 34.

In this study, a single piezoelectric quartz crystal nanobalance modified with polystyrene was employed to detect benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX compounds). The frequency shift of the QCN sensor was found to be linear against the BTEX compound concentrations in the range about 1-45 mg l-1. The correlation coefficients for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene were 0.991, 0.9977, 0.9946 and 0.9971, respectively. The principal component analysis was also utilized to process the frequency response data of the single piezoelectric crystal at different times, considering to the different adsorption-desorption dynamics of BTEX compounds. Using principal component analysis, it was found that over 90\% of the data variance could still be explained by use of two principal components (PC1 and PC2). Subsequently, the successful identification of benzene and toluene was possible through the principal component analysis of the transient responses of the polystyrene modified QCN sensor. The results showed that the polystyrene-modified QCN had favorable identification and quantification performances for the BTEX compounds.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MorenoDosevBratovetal.2006, author = {Moreno, Lia and Dosev, D. and Bratov, A. and Dominguez, C. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Kloock, Joachim P.}, title = {Effect of electrical properties of the surrounding medium on the response of an interdigitated electrode array with chalcogenide glass film}, series = {XX Eurosensors : 20th anniversary ; G{\"o}teborg, Sweden, 17 - 20 September 2006 ; [proceedings]. - Vol. 1}, booktitle = {XX Eurosensors : 20th anniversary ; G{\"o}teborg, Sweden, 17 - 20 September 2006 ; [proceedings]. - Vol. 1}, address = {G{\"o}teborg}, isbn = {978-91-631-9280-7}, pages = {384 -- 385}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MuellerFischerLehmann2006, author = {M{\"u}ller, Karsten and Fischer, Benedikt and Lehmann, Thomas}, title = {Einsatzm{\"o}glichkeiten von Bilderkennungsverfahren zur Zustandserfassung von Kanalisationen}, series = {7.
