This not only makes it difficult to trace them back but also leaves room for criminal organizations to fake them unnoticed. For these reasons, it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine the exact origin of drugs. The goal of this work was to investigate how exactly this is possible by using different spectroscopic methods like nuclear magnetic resonance and near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy in combination with multivariate data analysis. As an example, 56 out of 64 different paracetamol preparations, collected from 19 countries around the world, were chosen to investigate whether it is possible to determine the pharmaceutical company, manufacturing site, or country of origin. By means of suitable pre-processing of the spectra and the different information contained in each method, principal component analysis was able to evaluate manufacturing relationships between individual companies and to differentiate between production sites or formulations. Linear discriminant analysis showed different results depending on the spectral method and purpose. For all spectroscopic methods, it was found that the classification of the preparations to their manufacturer achieves better results than the classification to their pharmaceutical company. The best results were obtained with nuclear magnetic resonance and near-infrared data, with 94.6\%/99.6\% and 98.7/100\% of the spectra of the preparations correctly assigned to their pharmaceutical company or manufacturer.}, language = {en} } @article{SanderFidlerKlimala2005, author = {Sander, Volker and Fidler, Markus and Klimala, Wojciech}, title = {Traffic shaping in aggregate-based networks: implementation and analysis / Fidler, Markus ; Sander, Volker ; Klimala, Wojciech}, series = {Computer Communications. 28 (2005), H. 3}, journal = {Computer Communications. 28 (2005), H. 3}, isbn = {0140-3664}, pages = {274 -- 286}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SteuerDankert2023, author = {Steuer-Dankert, Linda}, title = {Training future skills - sustainability, interculturality \& innovation in a digital design thinking format}, series = {Proceedings of the 19th International CDIO Conference}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 19th International CDIO Conference}, pages = {12 Seiten}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The complex questions of today for a world of tomorrow are characterized by their global impact. Solutions must therefore not only be sustainable in the sense of the three pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) but must also function globally. This goes hand in hand with the need for intercultural acceptance of developed services and products. To achieve this, engineers, as the problem solvers of the future, must be able to work in intercultural teams on appropriate solutions, and be sensitive to intercultural perspectives. To equip the engineers of the future with the so-called future skills, teaching concepts are needed in which students can acquire these methods and competencies in application-oriented formats. The presented course "Applying Design Thinking - Sustainability, Innovation and Interculturality" was developed to teach future skills from the competency areas Digital Key Competencies, Classical Competencies and Transformative Competencies. The CDIO Standard 3.0, in particular the standards 5, 6, 7 and 8, was used as a guideline. The course aims to prepare engineering students from different disciplines and cultures for their future work in an international environment by combining a digital teaching format with an interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and intercultural setting for solving sustainability challenges. The innovative moment lies in the digital application of design thinking and the inclusion of intercultural as well as trans- and interdisciplinary perspectives in innovation development processes. In this paper, the concept of the course will be presented in detail and the particularities of a digital implementation of design thinking will be addressed. Subsequently, the potentials and challenges will be reflected and practical advice for integrating design thinking in engineering education will be given.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KobGoemmelButenwegetal.2006, author = {Kob, Malte and G{\"o}mmel, Andreas and Butenweg, Christoph and Niendorf, Thoralf}, title = {Training of a combined model of larynx and vocal folds with data from MRI measurements}, series = {The 5th International Conference on Voice Physiology and Biomechanics: Variations across Cultures and Species, July 12-14, 2006, Tokyo, Japan.

However, the effect of changes in tendon mechanical properties induced by chronic loading is still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that a training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness would result in reduced tendon strain during the stance phase of running, which would reduce fascicle strains in the triceps surae muscles, particularly in the mono-articular soleus. Methods Eleven subjects were assigned to a training group performing isometric singleleg plantarflexion contractions three times per week for ten weeks, and another ten subjects formed a control group. Before and after the training period, Achilles tendon stiffness was estimated, and muscle-tendon mechanics were assessed during running at preferred speed using ultrasonography, kinematics and kinetics. Results Achilles tendon stiffness increased by 18\% (P <0:01) in the training group, but the associated reduction in strain seen during isometric contractions was not statistically significant. Tendon elongation during the stance phase of running was similar after training, but tendon recoil was reduced by 30\% (P <0:01), while estimated tendon force remained unchanged. Neither gastrocnemius medialis nor soleus fascicle shortening during stance was affected by training. Discussion These results show that a training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness altered tendon behaviour during running. Despite training-induced changes in tendon mechanical properties and recoil behaviour, the data suggest that fascicle shortening patterns were preserved for the running speed that we examined. The asymmetrical changes in tendon strain patterns supports the notion that simple inseries models do not fully explain the mechanical output of the muscle-tendon unit during a complex task like running.}, language = {en} } @article{FeichtingerEilmannBuchmannetal.2015, author = {Feichtinger, Linda M. and Eilmann, Britta and Buchmann, Nina and Rigling, Andreas}, title = {Trait-specific responses of Scots pine to irrigation on a short vs long time scale}, series = {Tree Physiology}, volume = {35}, journal = {Tree Physiology}, number = {00}, publisher = {Heron}, address = {Victoria, BC}, issn = {1758-4469 (Online)}, doi = {10.1093/treephys/tpu114}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{BodeBartschBoulikasetal.1998, author = {Bode, J. and Bartsch, J. and Boulikas, T. and Iber, M. and Mielke, C. and Sch{\"u}beler, D. and Seibler, Jost and Benham, C.}, title = {Transcription-promoting genomic sites in mammalia: their elucidation and architectural principles}, series = {Gene therapy \& molecular biology}, volume = {1}, journal = {Gene therapy \& molecular biology}, number = {1}, issn = {1529-9120}, pages = {1 -- 29}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{HalbachScheer2000, author = {Halbach, Thorsten and Scheer, Nico}, title = {Transcriptional activation by the PHD finger is inhibited through an adjacent leucine zipper that binds 14-3-3 proteins}, series = {Nucleic Acids Research}, volume = {28}, journal = {Nucleic Acids Research}, number = {18}, issn = {1362-4962}, doi = {10.1093/nar/28.18.3542}, pages = {3542 -- 3550}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{BongaertsZoschkeWeidneretal.1995, author = {Bongaerts, Johannes and Zoschke, Sascha and Weidner, Uwe and Linden, Gottfried}, title = {Transcriptional regulation of the proton translocating NADH}, series = {Molecular microbiology}, volume = {Vol. 16}, journal = {Molecular microbiology}, number = {Iss. 3}, issn = {1365-2958 (E-Journal); 0950-382x (Print)}, pages = {521 -- 534}, year = {1995}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BensbergAuthCzarneckietal.2018, author = {Bensberg, Frank and Auth, Gunnar and Czarnecki, Christian and W{\"o}rndle, Christopher}, title = {Transforming literature-intensive research processes through text analytics - design, implementation and lessons learned}, editor = {Kemal İlter, H.}, doi = {10.6084/m9.figshare.7582073.v1}, pages = {9 Seiten}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The continuing growth of scientific publications raises the question how research processes can be digitalized and thus realized more productively.

Using hybrid materials from 14 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and bis-{4′-[4-(mercaptophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine]}-ruthenium(II) complexes a device size of 30² nm² inclusive nanoelectrodes is achieved. Moreover, this method bears the opportunity for further downscaling. The Ru-complex AuNP devices show symmetric and asymmetric current versus voltage curves with a hysteretic characteristic in two well separated conductance ranges. By theoretical approximations based on the single-channel Landauer model, the charge transport through the formed double-barrier tunnel junction is thoroughly analyzed and its sensibility to the molecule/metal contact is revealed.

Among other things, tree species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified. However, while environmental factors may severely limit tree growth or even cause tree death, assessing a tree species' potential for surviving future aggravated environmental conditions is rather demanding. The aim of this study was to find a tree-ring-based method suitable for identifying very drought-tolerant species, particularly potential substitute species for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Valais. In this inner-Alpine valley, Scots pine used to be the dominating species for dry forests, but today it suffers from high drought-induced mortality. We investigate the growth response of two native tree species, Scots pine and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.), and two non-native species, black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. var. menziesii), to drought. This involved analysing how the radial increment of these species responded to increasing water shortage (abandonment of irrigation) and to increasingly frequent drought years. Black pine and Douglas fir are able to cope with drought better than Scots pine and larch, as they show relatively high radial growth even after irrigation has been stopped and a plastic growth response to drought years. European larch does not seem to be able to cope with these dry conditions as it lacks the ability to recover from drought years. The analysis of trees' short-term response to extreme climate events seems to be the most promising and suitable method for detecting how tolerant a tree species is towards drought. However, combining all the methods used in this study provides a complete picture of how water shortage could limit species.}, language = {en} } @article{Esch2010, author = {Esch, Thomas}, title = {Trends in commercial vehicle powertrains}, series = {ATZautotechnology}, volume = {2010}, journal = {ATZautotechnology}, number = {10}, publisher = {Vieweg \& Sohn}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2192-886X}, doi = {10.1007/BF03247185}, pages = {26 -- 31}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Low emission zones and truck bans, the rising price of diesel and increases in road tolls: all of these factors are putting serious pressure on the transport industry.
