The waveguides were based on a fin-line concept and the chamber containing the samples bathed in extracellular solution was placed onto two fins with a slot in between, where the exposure field concentrates. Measures were taken to allow for patch clamp recordings during radiofrequency (RF) exposure. The necessary power for the achievement of the maximum desired specific absorption rate (SAR) of 20 W/kg (average over the mass of the solution) was approximately Pin = 50 mW, Pin = 19 mW, and Pin = 18 mW for the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2 GHz devices, respectively. At 20 W/kg, a slight RF-induced temperature elevation in the solution of no more than 0.3 °C was detected, while no thermal offsets due to the electromagnetic exposure could be detected at the lower SAR settings (2, 0.2, and 0.02 W/kg). A deviation of 10\% from the intended solution volume yielded a calculated SAR deviation of 8\% from the desired value. A maximum ±10\% variation in the local SAR could occur when the position of the patch clamp electrode was altered within the area where the cells to be investigated were located.}, language = {en} } @article{DroopChenRadfordetal.2023, author = {Droop, Philipp and Chen, Shaohuang and Radford, Melissa J. and Paulßen, Elisabeth and Gates, Byron D. and Reilly, Raymond M. and Radchenko, Valery and Hoehr, Cornelia}, title = {Synthesis of 197m/gHg labelled gold nanoparticles for targeted radionuclide therapy}, series = {Radiochimica Acta}, volume = {111}, journal = {Radiochimica Acta}, number = {10}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin [u.a.]}, issn = {2193-3405}, doi = {10.1515/ract-2023-0144}, pages = {773 -- 779}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Meitner-Auger-electron emitters have a promising potential for targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer because of their short range and the high linear energy transfer of Meitner-Auger-electrons (MAE). One promising MAE candidate is 197m/gHg with its half-life of 23.8 h and 64.1 h, respectively, and high MAE yield. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are labelled with 197m/gHg could be a helpful tool for radiation treatment of glioblastoma multiforme when infused into the surgical cavity after resection to prevent recurrence. To produce such AuNPs, 197m/gHg was embedded into pristine AuNPs. Two different syntheses were tested starting from irradiated gold containing trace amounts of 197m/gHg. When sodium citrate was used as reducing agent, no 197m/gHg labelled AuNPs were formed, but with tannic acid, 197m/gHg labeled AuNPs were produced. The method was optimized by neutralizing the pH (pH = 7) of the Au/197m/gHg solution, which led to labelled AuNPs with a size of 12.3 ± 2.0 nm as measured by transmission electron microscopy. The labelled AuNPs had a concentration of 50 μg (gold)/mL with an activity of 151 ± 93 kBq/mL (197gHg, time corrected to the end of bombardment).}, language = {en} } @article{DieringerRenzLindeletal.2011, author = {Dieringer, Matthias A. and Renz, Wolfgang and Lindel, Tomasz D. and Seifert, Frank and Frauenrath, Tobias and von Knobelsdorf-Brenkenhoff, Florian and Waiczies, Helmar and Hoffmann, Werner and Rieger, Jan and Pfeiffer, Harald and Ittermann, Bernd and Schulz-Menger, Jeanette and Niendorf, Thoralf}, title = {Design and application of a four-channel transmit/receive surface coil for functional cardiac imaging at 7T}, series = {Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging}, volume = {33}, journal = {Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley-Liss}, address = {New York}, issn = {1522-2586}, doi = {10.1002/jmri.22451}, pages = {736 -- 741}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Purpose To design and evaluate a four-channel cardiac transceiver coil array for functional cardiac imaging at 7T. Materials and Methods A four-element cardiac transceiver surface coil array was developed with two rectangular loops mounted on an anterior former and two rectangular loops on a posterior former. specific absorption rate (SAR) simulations were performed and a Burn:x-wiley:10531807:media:JMRI22451:tex2gif-stack-1 calibration method was applied prior to obtain 2D FLASH CINE (mSENSE, R = 2) images from nine healthy volunteers with a spatial resolution of up to 1 × 1 × 2.5 mm3. Results Tuning and matching was found to be better than 10 dB for all subjects. The decoupling (S21) was measured to be >18 dB between neighboring loops, >20 dB for opposite loops, and >30 dB for other loop combinations. SAR values were well within the limits provided by the IEC.

We propose a framework for the planning of the virtualization of processes, intended to assist the decision maker in prioritizing the processes to be virtualized: (a) we transfer the virtualization pre-requisites stated by the Process Virtualization Theory in the context of customer-oriented processes in the telecommunication industry and assess their importance in this context, (b) we derive IT-oriented requirements for the removal of virtualization barriers and highlight their demand on changes at different levels of the organization.

However, there are still situations that automated vehicles cannot handle safely and efficiently. In this case, a Transition of Control (ToC) is necessary so that the driver takes control of the driving. Executing a ToC requires the driver to get full situation awareness of the driving environment. If the driver fails to get back the control in a limited time, a Minimum Risk Maneuver (MRM) is executed to bring the vehicle into a safe state (e.g., decelerating to full stop). The execution of ToCs requires some time and can cause traffic disruption and safety risks that increase if several vehicles execute ToCs/MRMs at similar times and in the same area. This study proposes to use novel C-ITS traffic management measures where the infrastructure exploits V2X communications to assist Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in the execution of ToCs. The infrastructure can suggest a spatial distribution of ToCs, and inform vehicles of the locations where they could execute a safe stop in case of MRM. This paper reports the first field operational tests that validate the feasibility and quantify the benefits of the proposed infrastructure-assisted ToC and MRM management. The paper also presents the CAV and roadside infrastructure prototypes implemented and used in the trials. The conducted field trials demonstrate that infrastructure-assisted traffic management solutions can reduce safety risks and traffic disruptions.}, language = {en} } @article{ClaessensFuchsbergerGuentheretal.2003, author = {Claessens, J. and Fuchsberger, A. and G{\"u}nther, C. and Horn, G. and Howker, K. and Hulsebosch, R.J. and Mitchell, C. and Paterson, K. and Preneel, B. and Schellekens, D. and Schuba, Marko}, title = {Pioneering Advanced Mobile Privacy and Security}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{ClaerFerreinSchiffer2019, author = {Claer, Mario and Ferrein, Alexander and Schiffer, Stefan}, title = {Calibration of a Rotating or Revolving Platform with a LiDAR Sensor}, series = {Applied Sciences}, volume = {Volume 9}, journal = {Applied Sciences}, number = {issue 11, 2238}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2076-3417}, doi = {10.3390/app9112238}, pages = {18 Seiten}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{ChenSchoembergKraffetal.2016, author = {Chen, Bixia and Schoemberg, Tobias and Kraff, Oliver and Dammann, Philipp and Bitz, Andreas and Schlamann, Marc and Quick, Harald H. and Ladd, Mark E. and Sure, Ulrich and Wrede, Karsten H.}, title = {Cranial fixation plates in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging: a 3 and 7 Tesla in vivo image quality study}, series = {Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine}, volume = {29}, journal = {Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1352-8661}, doi = {10.1007/s10334-016-0548-1}, pages = {389 -- 398}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Objective This study assesses and quantifies impairment of postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 7 Tesla (T) after implantation of titanium cranial fixation plates (CFPs) for neurosurgical bone flap fixation. Materials and methods The study group comprised five patients who were intra-individually examined with 3 and 7 T MRI preoperatively and postoperatively (within 72 h/3 months) after implantation of CFPs. Acquired sequences included T₁-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid-acquisition gradient-echo (MPRAGE), T₂-weighted turbo-spin-echo (TSE) imaging, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Two experienced neurosurgeons and a neuroradiologist rated image quality and the presence of artifacts in consensus reading. Results Minor artifacts occurred around the CFPs in MPRAGE and T2 TSE at both field strengths, with no significant differences between 3 and 7 T. In SWI, artifacts were accentuated in the early postoperative scans at both field strengths due to intracranial air and hemorrhagic remnants. After resorption, the brain tissue directly adjacent to skull bone could still be assessed. Image quality after 3 months was equal to the preoperative examinations at 3 and 7 T. Conclusion Image quality after CFP implantation was not significantly impaired in 7 T MRI, and artifacts were comparable to those in 3 T MRI.}, language = {en} } @article{BrueckSorgerGligorevicetal.2000, author = {Br{\"u}ck, Stefan and Sorger, Ulrich and Gligorevic, Snjezana and Stolte, Norbert}, title = {Interleaving for outer convolutional codes in DS-CDMA systems}, series = {IEEE transactions on communications}, volume = {Vol. 48}, journal = {IEEE transactions on communications}, number = {Iss. 7}, issn = {0090-6778}, pages = {1100 -- 1107}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{BragardvanHoekDeDoncker2012, author = {Bragard, Michael and van Hoek, H. and De Doncker, R.
