Here, we demonstrate that expression of microRNA (miR)-143 and 145 is upregulated in the liver of genetic and dietary mouse models of obesity. Induced transgenic overexpression of miR-143, but not miR-145, impairs insulin-stimulated AKT activation and glucose homeostasis. Conversely, mice deficient for the miR-143-145 cluster are protected from the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance. Quantitative-mass-spectrometry-based analysis of hepatic protein expression in miR-143-overexpressing mice revealed miR-143-dependent downregulation of oxysterol-binding-protein-related protein (ORP) 8. Reduced ORP8 expression in cultured liver cells impairs the ability of insulin to induce AKT activation, revealing an ORP8-dependent mechanism of AKT regulation. Our experiments provide direct evidence that dysregulated post-transcriptional gene silencing contributes to the development of obesity-induced insulin resistance, and characterize the miR-143-ORP8 pathway as a potential target for the treatment of obesity-associated diabetes.}, language = {en} } @article{BongaertsEsserLorbachetal.2011, author = {Bongaerts, Johannes and Esser, Simon and Lorbach, Volker and Al-Momani, L{\´o}ay and M{\"u}ller, Michael A. and Franke, Dirk and Grondal, Christoph and Kurutsch, Anja and Bujnicki, Robert and Takors, Ralf and Raeven, Leon and Wubbolts, Marcel and Bovenberg, Roel and Nieger, Martin and Sch{\"u}rmann, Melanie and Trachtmann, Natalie and Kozak, Stefan and Sprenger, Georg A. and M{\"u}ller, Michael}, title = {Diversity-oriented production of metabolites derived from chorismate and their use in organic synthesis}, series = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, volume = {Vol. 50}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, number = {Iss. 34}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-3773 (E-Journal); 0570-0833 (Print); 1433-7851 (Print)}, pages = {7781 -- 7786}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Bung2011, author = {Bung, Daniel Bernhard}, title = {Developing flow in skimming flow regime on embankment stepped spillways}, series = {Journal of hydraulic research}, volume = {Vol. 49}, journal = {Journal of hydraulic research}, number = {Iss. 5}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1814-2079 (E-Journal); 0022-1686 (Print)}, pages = {639 -- 648}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinMaraisPotgieteretal.2011, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Marais, Stephen and Potgieter, Anet and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {RoboCup Junior: A vehicle for S\&T education in Africa?}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-61284-992-8}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchifferFerreinLakemeyer2011, author = {Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Fuzzy representations and control for domestic service robots in Golog}, series = {Intelligent robotics and applications : 4th International conference, ICIRA 2011, Aachen, Germany, December 6-8, 2011, proceedings, part I.

Two fractions of the grass silage, a press juice and the fiber fraction, were evaluated for their possible use for bioethanol production. Direct production of ethanol from press juice is not possible due to high concentrations of organic acids. For the fiber fraction, alkaline peroxide or enzymatic pretreatment was used, which removes the phenolic acids in the cell wall. In this study, we demonstrate the possibility to integrate the enzymatic pretreatment with a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation to achieve ethanol production from grass silage in a one-process step. Achieved yields were about 53 g ethanol per kg silage with the alkaline peroxide pretreatment and 91 g/kg with the enzymatic pretreatment at concentrations of 8.5 and 14.6 g/L, respectively. Furthermore, it was shown that additional supplementation of the fermentation medium with vitamins, trace elements and nutrient salts is not necessary when the press juice is directly used in the fermentation step.}, language = {en} } @article{WarerkarSchmitzGoettscheetal.2011, author = {Warerkar, Shashikant and Schmitz, Stefan and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Reißel, Martin and Tamme, Rainer}, title = {Air-Sand Heat Exchanger for High-Temperature Storage}, series = {Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. 133 (2011), H. 2}, journal = {Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. 133 (2011), H. 2}, publisher = {ASME}, address = {New York}, isbn = {0199-6231}, pages = {021010}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{DoorschodtSchreinemachersBehbahanietal.2011, author = {Doorschodt, B.

Our goal was to reach this distance within the 25 years postulated by ESA for such a mission (which is less ambitious than the 15-year goal set by NASA). Contrary to solar sail concepts and combinations of allistic and electrically propelled flight legs, we have investigated whether the set flight time limit could also be kept with a combination of solar-electric propulsion and a second, RTG-powered upper stage. The used ion engine type was the RIT-22 for the first stage and the RIT-10 for the second stage. Trajectory optimization was carried out with the low-thrust optimization program InTrance, which implements the method of Evolutionary Neurocontrol,using Artificial Neural Networks for spacecraft steering and Evolutionary Algorithms to optimize the Neural Networks' parameter set. Based on a parameter space study, in which the number of thrust units, the unit's specific impulse, and the relative size of the solar power generator were varied, we have chosen one configuration as reference. The transfer time of this reference configuration was 29.6 years and the fastest one, which is technically more challenging, still required 28.3 years. As all flight times of this parameter study were longer than 25 years, we further shortened the transfer time by applying a launcher-provided hyperbolic excess energy up to 49 km2/s2. The resulting minimal flight time for the reference configuration was then 27.8 years. The following, more precise optimization to a launch with the European Ariane 5 ECA rocket reduced the transfer time to 27.5 years. This is the fastest mission design of our study that is flexible enough to allow a launch every year. The inclusion of a fly-by at Jupiter finally resulted in a flight time of 23.8 years,which is below the set transfer-time limit. However, compared to the 27.5-year transfer,this mission design has a significantly reduced launch window and mission flexibility if the escape direction is restricted to the heliosphere's "nose".}, language = {en} } @article{ScholzRomagnoliDachwaldetal.2011, author = {Scholz, Christina and Romagnoli, Daniele and Dachwald, Bernd and Theil, Stephan}, title = {Performance analysis of an attitude control system for solar sails using sliding masses}, series = {Advances in Space Research}, volume = {48}, journal = {Advances in Space Research}, number = {11}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0273-1177}, pages = {1822 -- 1835}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BaumannTeixeiraBouraGoettscheetal.2011, author = {Baumann, Torsten and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Schmitz, Stefan and Zunft, Stefan}, title = {Air-sand heat exchanger: materials and flow properties}, series = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, address = {Granada}, pages = {1 CD-ROM}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrickeZiolkoAnthrakidisetal.2011, author = {Fricke, Barbara and Ziolko, C. and Anthrakidis, Anette and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Dillig, M. and Giese, F.}, title = {InnoSol - life cycle analysis of solar power tower plants}, series = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, address = {Granada}, pages = {1 CD-ROM}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{KleefeldReissel2011, author = {Kleefeld, Andreas and Reißel, Martin}, title = {The Levenberg-Marquardt method applied to a parameter estimation problem arising from electrical resistivity tomography}, series = {Applied Mathematics and Computation}, volume = {217}, journal = {Applied Mathematics and Computation}, number = {9}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {0096-3003}, pages = {4490 -- 4501}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BeckerBergenerBreukeretal.2011, author = {Becker, J{\"o}rg and Bergener, Philipp and Breuker, Dominic and Delfmann, Patrick and Eggert, Mathias}, title = {An Efficient Business Process Compliance Checking Approach}, series = {Governance and Sustainability in Information Systems.
