Besides the disadvantageous space-time yield, the risks of cross-contaminations and product loss grow fast with the complexity of the isolation procedure. A significant reduction of unit operations can be achieved by application of magnetic particles, especially if these are functionalized with affinity ligands. As magnetic susceptible materials are highly uncommon in biotechnological processes, target binding and selective separation of such particles from fermentation or reactions broths can be done in a single step. Since the magnetizable particles can be produced from iron salts and low priced polymers, a single-use implementation of these systems is highly conceivable. In this article, the principles of magnetizable particles, their synthesis and functionalization are explained. Furthermore, applications in the area of reaction engineering, microfluidics and downstream processing are discussed focusing on established single-use technologies and development potential.}, language = {en} } @article{AndingTabazaStaatetal.2013, author = {Anding, Ralf and Tabaza, Ruth and Staat, Manfred and Trenz, Eva and Lohmann, Philipp and Klinge, Uwe and Kirschner-Hermanns, Ruth}, title = {Introducing a method of in vitro testing of different anchoring systems used for female incontinence and prolapse surgery}, series = {BioMed research international}, volume = {Vol. 2013}, journal = {BioMed research international}, issn = {1110-7251 (E-Journal); 2314-6141 (E-Journal); 1110-7243 (Print); 2314-6133 (Print)}, pages = {Article ID 401417}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{JungStaatMueller2013, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Flight style optimization in ski jumping on normal, large, and ski flying hills}, series = {Journal of biomechanics}, volume = {Vol. 47}, journal = {Journal of biomechanics}, number = {Iss. 3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-2380 (E-Journal); 0021-9290 (Print)}, pages = {716 -- 722}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{RensFerrein2013, author = {Rens, Gavin and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {Belief-node condensation for online POMDP algorithms}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Slightly extended version of the paper accepted at the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Workshop, a special track of IEEE AFRICON-2013, held in Mauritius, 9-12 September 2013}, language = {en} } @article{HuckSchiffelsHerreraetal.2013, author = {Huck, Christina and Schiffels, Johannes and Herrera, Cony N. and Schelden, Maximilian and Selmer, Thorsten and Poghossian, Arshak and Baumann, Marcus and Wagner, Patrick and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Metabolic responses of Escherichia coli upon glucose pulses captured by a capacitive field-effect sensor}, series = {Physica Status Solidi (A)}, volume = {210}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi (A)}, number = {5}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0031-8965}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201200900}, pages = {926 -- 931}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Living cells are complex biological systems transforming metabolites taken up from the surrounding medium. Monitoring the responses of such cells to certain substrate concentrations is a challenging task and offers possibilities to gain insight into the vitality of a community influenced by the growth environment. Cell-based sensors represent a promising platform for monitoring the metabolic activity and thus, the "welfare" of relevant organisms. In the present study, metabolic responses of the model bacterium Escherichia coli in suspension, layered onto a capacitive field-effect structure, were examined to pulses of glucose in the concentration range between 0.05 and 2 mM. It was found that acidification of the surrounding medium takes place immediately after glucose addition and follows Michaelis-Menten kinetic behavior as a function of the glucose concentration. In future, the presented setup can, therefore, be used to study substrate specificities on the enzymatic level and may as well be used to perform investigations of more complex metabolic responses. Conclusions and perspectives highlighting this system are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{TranStaat2013, author = {Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred}, title = {An Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method for Primal-Dual Shakedown Analysis of Structures Under Uncertainties}, series = {Limit State of Materials and Structures : Direct Methods 2.

In this study, beta-zeolite-based adsorbent systems were examined, and their properties were compared to organic resins. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted with synthetic solutions of major polyphenols. Adsorption isotherms and desorption characteristics of individual adsorbent were determined based on these results. Maximum adsorption capacities were calculated using the Langmuir model. For example, the zeolites had capacities up to 203.2 mg/g for ferulic acid. To extend these results to a complex system, additional experiments were performed on rapeseed meal and wheat seed extracts as representative renewable resources. HPLC analysis showed that with 7.5\% w/v, which is regarded as the optimum amount of zeolites, zeolites A and B could bind 100\% of the major polyphenols as well as release polyphenols at high yields. Additionally, regeneration experiments were performed with isopropyl alcohol at 99°C to evaluate how zeolites regenerate under mild conditions. The results showed only a negligible loss of adsorption capacity and no loss of desorption capacity. In summary, it was concluded that beta-zeolites were promising adsorbents for developing new processes to isolate polyphenols from renewable resources.}, language = {en} } @article{Staat2013, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Limit and shakedown analysis under uncertainty}, series = {International journal of computational methods : IJCM}, journal = {International journal of computational methods : IJCM}, publisher = {World Scientific Publishing}, address = {Singapore}, issn = {0219-8762}, pages = {Publ. online}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{SchusserMenzelBaeckeretal.2013, author = {Schusser, Sebastian and Menzel, S. and B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Leinhos, Marcel and Poghossian, Arshak and Wagner, P. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Degradation of thin poly(lactic acid) films: characterization by capacitance-voltage, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and contact-angle measurements}, series = {Electrochimica Acta}, volume = {Vol. 113}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1873-3859 (E-Journal); 0013-4686 (Print)}, pages = {779 -- 784}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{MiciliValterOflazetal.2013, author = {Micili, Serap C. and Valter, Markus and Oflaz, Hakan and Ozogul, Candan and Linder, Peter and F{\"o}ckler, Nicole and Artmann, Gerhard and Digel, Ilya and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Optical coherence tomography : a potential tool to predict premature rupture of fetal membranes}, series = {Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

In this work, an impedimetric sensor has been applied for real-time and in situ monitoring of degradation processes of biopolymers. The sensor consists of two platinum thin-film electrodes covered by a polymer film to be studied. The benchmark biomedical polymer poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) was used as a model system. PDLLA films were deposited on the sensor structure from a polymer solution by using the spin-coating method. The degradation kinetics of PDLLA films have been studied in alkaline solutions of pH 9 and 12 by means of an impedance spectroscopy (IS) method. Any changes in a polymer capacitance/resistance induced by water uptake and/or polymer degradation will modulate the global impedance of the polymer-covered sensor that can be used as an indicator of the polymer degradation. The degradation rate can be evaluated from the time-dependent impedance spectra. As expected, a faster degradation has been observed for PDLLA films exposed to pH 12 solution.}, language = {en} } @article{AkimbekovDigelSavitkayaetal.2013, author = {Akimbekov, Nuraly S. and Digel, Ilya and Savitkaya, I.S. and Zhubanova, A.A. and Tastambek, K.T.}, title = {Investigations of LPS endotoxin elimination in the flowing column conditions with the sorbent on the basis of carbonized rice husk}, series = {KazNU Bulletin.
