A very particular tracer molecule is 11CO2 since it can be applied to a leaf as a gas. We have developed a Plant Tomographic Imaging System (PlanTIS), a high-resolution PET scanner for plant studies. Detectors, front-end electronics and data acquisition architecture of the scanner are based on the ClearPET™ system. The detectors consist of LSO and LuYAP crystals in phoswich configuration which are coupled to position-sensitive photomultiplier tubes. Signals are continuously sampled by free running ADCs, and data are stored in a list mode format. The detectors are arranged in a horizontal plane to allow the plants to be measured in the natural upright position. Two groups of four detector modules stand face-to-face and rotate around the field-of-view. This special system geometry requires dedicated image reconstruction and normalization procedures.

More specifically, they present their contribution on the remote control and supervision system, which makes the functioning of the MSD system reliable and guarantees the production of drinking water for the population of Douar. The results obtained show that the electronic cards and computer communication software implemented allow the acquisition of all electrical (currents, voltages, powers, yields), thermal (temperatures of each stage), and meteorological (irradiance and ambient temperature), remote control and maintenance (switching on, off, data transfer). By comparing with the literature carried out in the field of solar energy, the authors conclude that the MSD and electronic desalination systems realized during this work represent a contribution in terms of the reliability and durability of providing drinking water in rural and urban areas.}, language = {en} } @article{RobinsonFunkeHendrick2011, author = {Robinson, A.

Despite many attempts to develop therapeutic vaccines no candidate has entered late clinical trials. An interesting approach is a DNA based vaccine encompassing the nucleotide sequence of the E6 and E7 viral oncoproteins. Because both proteins are consistently expressed in HPV infected cells they represent excellent targets for immune therapy. Here we report the development of 8 DNA vaccine candidates consisting of differently rearranged HPV-16 E6 and E7 sequences within one molecule providing all naturally occurring epitopes but supposedly lacking transforming activity. The HPV sequences were fused to the J-domain and the SV40 enhancer in order to increase immune responses. We demonstrate that one out of the 8 vaccine candidates induces very strong cellular E6- and E7- specific cellular immune responses in mice and, as shown in regression experiments, efficiently controls growth of HPV 16 positive syngeneic tumors. This data demonstrates the potential of this vaccine candidate to control persistent HPV 16 infection that may lead to malignant disease. It also suggests that different sequence rearrangements influence the immunogenecity by an as yet unknown mechanism.}, language = {en} } @article{HillgaertnerPeier2006, author = {Hillg{\"a}rtner, Michael and Peier, Dirk}, title = {Design of a Measurement Setup for the Impedance of Low-Resistance Plate-Conductors in the RF-Range}, series = {Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, OPTIM '06, Bra\&\#351;ov, May 18 - 20, 2006 / ed. by The Transilvania University of Bra\&\#351;ov, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

This paper presents a multi-robot-approach for automated wind turbine maintenance including a novel climbing robot. Currently, wind turbine maintenance remains a manual task, which is monotonous, dangerous, and also physically demanding due to the large scale of wind turbines. Technical climbers are required to work at significant heights, even in bad weather conditions. Furthermore, a skilled labor force with sufficient knowledge in repairing fiber composite material is rare. Autonomous mobile systems enable the digitization of the maintenance process. They can be designed for weather-independent operations. This work contributes to the development and experimental validation of a maintenance system consisting of multiple robotic platforms for a variety of tasks, such as wind turbine tower and rotor blade service. In this work, multicopters with vision and LiDAR sensors for global inspection are used to guide slower climbing robots. Light-weight magnetic climbers with surface contact were used to analyze structure parts with non-destructive inspection methods and to locally repair smaller defects. Localization was enabled by adapting odometry for conical-shaped surfaces considering additional navigation sensors. Magnets were suitable for steel towers to clamp onto the surface. A friction-based climbing ring robot (SMART— Scanning, Monitoring, Analyzing, Repair and Transportation) completed the set-up for higher payload. The maintenance period could be extended by using weather-proofed maintenance robots. The multi-robot-system was running the Robot Operating System (ROS). Additionally, first steps towards machine learning would enable maintenance staff to use pattern classification for fault diagnosis in order to operate safely from the ground in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{KalbeHoeckerBerndt1989, author = {Kalbe, Jochen and H{\"o}cker, Hartwig and Berndt, Heinz}, title = {Design of enzyme reactors as chromatographic columns for racemic resolution of amino acid esters}, series = {Chromatographia}, volume = {28}, journal = {Chromatographia}, number = {3-4}, isbn = {0009-5893}, doi = {10.1007/BF02319646}, pages = {193 -- 196}, year = {1989}, language = {en} } @article{HillgaertnerStoniesPeieretal.2005, author = {Hillg{\"a}rtner, Michael and Stonies, R. and Peier, D. and Voges, E.}, title = {Design of Low Cost Antennas for Reverberation Chambers}, series = {Proceedings of the 16th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility : [EMC Week 2005, Zurich, Switzerland, February 13 - 18 ; technical exhibition on EMC and RF/microwave Measurements and Instrumentation (February 15 - 17)] / [Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich]}, journal = {Proceedings of the 16th International Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility : [EMC Week 2005, Zurich, Switzerland, February 13 - 18 ; technical exhibition on EMC and RF/microwave Measurements and Instrumentation (February 15 - 17)] / [Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich]}, publisher = {ETH-Zentrum-IFH}, address = {Z{\"u}rich}, isbn = {3-9521199-9-7}, pages = {1 CD-ROM. ; 12 cm}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2015, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {Design of plane energy geostructures based on laboratory tests and numerical modelling}, series = {Energy and Buildings}, volume = {107}, journal = {Energy and Buildings}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-7788}, doi = {10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.08.039}, pages = {434 -- 444}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{HeinrichsPietrzykZiemons2003, author = {Heinrichs, U. and Pietrzyk, U. and Ziemons, Karl}, title = {Design optimization of the PMT-ClearPET prototypes based on simulation studies with GEANT3}, series = {2002 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 3}, journal = {2002 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, Vol. 3}, issn = {1082-3654}, pages = {682 -- 686}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Within the Crystal Clear Collaboration four centres are developing 2nd generation high performance small animal PET scanners for different kinds of animals and medical applications.

The aim of these simulation studies is to optimize sensitivity and spatial resolution of given designs, which vary in FOVs caused by different detector configurations (ring/octagon) and sizes. For this purpose the simulation tool GEANT3 (CERN) was used. The simulations have shown that all PMT designs with one-to-one coupling of crystals have a very nonlinear axial sensitivity profile. By shifting every other PMT 1/4 of a PMT length in axial direction the sampling of the FOVs became more homogeneous. At an energy threshold of 350keV the regression coefficient increases from 0.818 for the non-shifted to 0.993 for the shifted design. Simulations of a point source centred in the FOV (threshold: 350keV) resulted in sensitivities of 4.2\% for a 4×20PMT (LSO/LuYAP a 10mm) and 3.8\% for a 4×16PMT (LSO/LuYAP a 8mm) ring design.
