Single-stranded DNA molecules were loaded on the mixed poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA)/poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brush covalently attached to the ITO electrodes. The DNA deposition was performed at pH 5.0 when the polymer brush is positively charged due to protonation of tertiary amino groups in PDMAEMA, thus resulting in electrostatic attraction of the negatively charged DNA. By applying electrolysis at -1.0 V(vs. Ag/AgCl reference) electrochemical oxygen reduction resulted in the consumption of hydrogen ions and local pH increase near the electrode surface. The process resulted in recharging the polymer brush to the negative state due to dissociation of carboxylic groups of PMAA, thus repulsing the negatively charged DNA and releasing it from the electrode surface. The DNA release was performed in various combinations from different electrodes in the array assembly. The released DNA operated as input signals for activation of the Boolean logic gates. The developed system represents a step forward in DNA computing, combining for the first time DNA chemical processes with electronic input signals.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchildtBraunMarcocca2017, author = {Schildt, P. and Braun, Carsten and Marcocca, P.}, title = {Flight testing the extra 330LE flying testbed}, series = {48th Annual International Symposium of the Society of Flight Test Engineers 2017}, booktitle = {48th Annual International Symposium of the Society of Flight Test Engineers 2017}, isbn = {978-151085387-4}, pages = {349 -- 362}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JabbariBhattaraiAndingetal.2017, author = {Jabbari, Medisa and Bhattarai, Aroj and Anding, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Biomechanical simulation of different prosthetic meshes for repairing uterine/vaginal vault prolapse}, series = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th -

This way, the propulsive acceleration of the sail results from the combined action of the solar and the laser radiation pressure onto the sail. The potential source of the laser beam is a laser satellite that coverts solar power (in the inner solar system) or nuclear power (in the outer solar system) into laser power. Such a laser satellite (or many of them) can orbit anywhere in the solar system and its optimal orbit (or their optimal orbits) for a given mission is a subject for future research. This contribution provides the model for an ideal laser-enhanced solar sail and investigates how a laser can enhance the thrusting capability of such a sail. The term "ideal" means that the solar sail is assumed to be perfectly reflecting and that the laser beam is assumed to have a constant areal power density over the whole sail area. Since a laser beam has a limited divergence, it can provide radiation pressure at much larger solar distances and increase the radiation pressure force into the desired direction. Therefore, laser-enhanced solar sails may make missions feasible, that would otherwise have prohibitively long flight times, e.g. rendezvous missions in the outer solar system. This contribution will also analyze exemplary mission scenarios and present optimial trajectories without laying too much emphasis on the design and operations of the laser satellites. If the mission studies conclude that laser-enhanced solar sails would have advantages with respect to "traditional" solar sails, a detailed study of the laser satellites and the whole system architecture would be the second next step}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FingerBraunBil2017, author = {Finger, Felix and Braun, Carsten and Bil, Cees}, title = {The Impact of Electric Propulsion on the Performance of VTOL UAVs}, series = {Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2017, DLRK , M{\"u}nchen}, booktitle = {Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2017, DLRK , M{\"u}nchen}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{DammSauerbornFendetal.2017, author = {Damm, Marc Andr{\´e} and Sauerborn, Markus and Fend, Thomas and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Optimisation of a urea selective catalytic reduction system with a coated ceramic mixing element}, series = {Journal of ceramic science and technology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Journal of ceramic science and technology}, number = {1}, publisher = {G{\"o}ller}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {2190-9385 (Print)}, issn = {2190-9385 (Online)}, doi = {10.4416/JCST2016-00056}, pages = {19 -- 24}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FingerBraunBil2017, author = {Finger, Felix and Braun, Carsten and Bil, Cees}, title = {A Review of Configuration Design for Distributed Propulsion Transitioning VTOL Aircraft}, series = {Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology 2017, APISAT 2017, Seoul, Korea}, booktitle = {Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology 2017, APISAT 2017, Seoul, Korea}, pages = {15 Seiten}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchneiderAlHakimKayseretal.2017, author = {Schneider, Oliver and Al Hakim, Taher and Kayser, Peter and Digel, Ilya}, title = {Development and trials of a test chamber for ultrasound-assisted sampling of living cells from solid surfaces}, series = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, booktitle = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, editor = {Erni, Daniel and Fischerauer, Alice and Himmel, J{\"o}rg and Seeger, Thomas and Thelen, Klaus}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-9814801-9-1}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/43984}, pages = {96 -- 97}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BirgelLeschingerWegmannetal.2017, author = {Birgel, Stefan and Leschinger, Tim and Wegmann, Kilian and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Calculation of muscle forces and joint reaction loads in shoulder area via an OpenSim based computer calculation}, series = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, booktitle = {2nd YRA MedTech Symposium 2017 : June 8th - 9th / 2017 / Hochschule Ruhr-West}, editor = {Erni, Daniel and Fischerauer, Alice and Himmel, J{\"o}rg and Seeger, Thomas and Thelen, Klaus}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-9814801-9-1}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/43984}, pages = {116 -- 117}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StapenhorstGessnerWoerd2017, author = {Stapenhorst, Carolin and Geßner, Stephan and Woerd, Jan Dirk van der}, title = {ArchitecTours - a close look on structures around us}, series = {Proceedings of IASS Annual Symposia}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IASS Annual Symposia}, editor = {B{\"o}gle, Annette and Grohmann, Manfred}, publisher = {IASS}, address = {Madrid}, issn = {2518-6582}, pages = {9 Seiten}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Architects and civil engineers work together regularly during their professional days and are irreplaceable for each other. This co-operation is sometimes made more difficult by the differences in their disciplinary languages and approaches. Structures are evaluated by architects on the basis of criteria such as spatial impact and usability, while civil engineers analyze them more closely by their bearing and deformation properties, as well as by constructive aspects. This diversity of assessment criteria and approaches is often continued in both academic disciplines in the view on structures. Within the framework of the Exploratory Teaching Space (ETS), a funding program to improve teaching at RWTH Aachen University and to promote new teaching concepts, a project was carried out jointly by the Junior Professorship of Tool-Culture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Institute of Structural Concrete at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The aim of the project is to present buildings in such a way that the differences in perception between architects and civil engineers are reduced and the common understanding is promoted. The project develops a database, which contains a collection of striking buildings from Aachen and the surrounding area. The buildings are categorized according to terms that come from both disciplinary areas. The collection can be freely explored or crossed through learning trails. The medium of film plays a special role in presenting the buildings. The buildings are assigned to different categories of load bearing structures as linear, planar and spatial structures, and further to different types of material, functional programs and spatial characteristics. Since the buildings are located in the direct vicinity of Aachen, they can be visited by the students. This makes them more sensitive to their environment. Intrinsic motivation, as well as implicit learning is encouraged. The paper will provide a detailed report of the project, its implementation, the feedback of the students and the plans for further development.}, language = {en} }
