Light addressability can be used to visualize the concentration and spatial distribution of the target molecules, e.g., H+ ions. This unique feature has great potential for the label-free imaging of the metabolic activity of living organisms. The cultivation of those organisms needs specially tailored surface properties of the sensor. O2 plasma treatment is an attractive and promising tool for rapid surface engineering. However, the potential impacts of the technique are carefully investigated for the sensors that suffer from plasma-induced damage. Herein, a LAPS with a Ta2O5 pH-sensitive surface is successfully patterned by plasma treatment, and its effects are investigated by contact angle and scanning LAPS measurements. The plasma duration of 30 s (30 W) is found to be the threshold value, where excessive wettability begins. Furthermore, this treatment approach causes moderate plasma-induced damage, which can be reduced by thermal annealing (10 min at 300 °C). These findings provide a useful guideline to support future studies, where the LAPS surface is desired to be more hydrophilic by O2 plasma treatment.}, language = {en} } @article{BucurLazarescuPopetal.2019, author = {Bucur, Alexandru and Lazarescu, Lucian and Pop, Grigore Marian and Achimas, Gheorghe and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Tribological performance of biodegradable lubricants under different surface roughness of tools}, series = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {17}, journal = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, number = {1}, issn = {1583-7904}, pages = {172 -- 178}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{ThomaRavi2019, author = {Thoma, Andreas and Ravi, Sridhar}, title = {Significance of parallel computing on the performance of Digital Image Correlation algorithms in MATLAB}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a powerful tool used to evaluate displacements and deformations in a non-intrusive manner. By comparing two images, one of the undeformed reference state of a specimen and another of the deformed target state, the relative displacement between those two states is determined. DIC is well known and often used for post-processing analysis of in-plane displacements and deformation of specimen. Increasing the analysis speed to enable real-time DIC analysis will be beneficial and extend the field of use of this technique. Here we tested several combinations of the most common DIC methods in combination with different parallelization approaches in MATLAB and evaluated their performance to determine whether real-time analysis is possible with these methods. To reflect improvements in computing technology different hardware settings were also analysed. We found that implementation problems can reduce the efficiency of a theoretically superior algorithm such that it becomes practically slower than a suboptimal algorithm. The Newton-Raphson algorithm in combination with a modified Particle Swarm algorithm in parallel image computation was found to be most effective. This is contrary to theory, suggesting that the inverse-compositional Gauss-Newton algorithm is superior. As expected, the Brute Force Search algorithm is the least effective method. We also found that the correct choice of parallelization tasks is crucial to achieve improvements in computing speed. A poorly chosen parallelisation approach with high parallel overhead leads to inferior performance. Finally, irrespective of the computing mode the correct choice of combinations of integerpixel and sub-pixel search algorithms is decisive for an efficient analysis. Using currently available hardware realtime analysis at high framerates remains an aspiration.}, language = {en} } @article{BartellaKamalScholletal.2019, author = {Bartella, Alexander K. and Kamal, Mohammad and Scholl, Ingrid and Schiffer, Stefan and Steegmann, Julius and Ketelsen, Dominik and H{\"o}lzle, Frank W. and Lethaus, Bernd}, title = {Virtual reality in preoperative imaging in maxillofacial surgery: implementation of "the next level"?}, series = {British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery}, volume = {57}, journal = {British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery}, number = {7}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0266-4356}, doi = {10.1016/j.bjoms.2019.02.014}, pages = {644 -- 648}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Eggert2019, author = {Eggert, Mathias}, title = {Understanding the acceptance of smart home-based insurances}, series = {Proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Stockholm \& Uppsala, Sweden, June 8-14, 2019}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Stockholm \& Uppsala, Sweden, June 8-14, 2019}, isbn = {978-1-7336325-0-8}, pages = {1 -- 15}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GrundmannBauerBorchersetal.2019, author = {Grundmann, Jan Thimo and Bauer, Wlademar and Borchers, Kai and Dumont, Etienne and Grimm, Christian D. and Ho, Tra-Mi and Jahnke, Rico and Koch, Aaron D. and Lange, Caroline and Maiwald, Volker and Meß, Jan-Gerd and Mikulz, Eugen and Quantius, Dominik and Reershemius, Siebo and Renger, Thomas and Sasaki, Kaname and Seefeldt, Patric and Spietz, Peter and Spr{\"o}witz, Tom and Sznajder, Maciej and Toth, Norbert and Ceriotti, Matteo and McInnes, Colin and Peloni, Alessandro and Biele, Jens and Krause, Christian and Dachwald, Bernd and Hercik, David and Lichtenheldt, Roy and Wolff, Friederike and Koncz, Alexander and Pelivan, Ivanka and Schmitz, Nicole and Boden, Ralf and Riemann, Johannes and Seboldt, Wolfgang and Wejmo, Elisabet and Ziach, Christian and Mikschl, Tobias and Montenegro, Sergio and Ruffer, Michael and Cordero, Federico and Tardivel, Simon}, title = {Solar sails for planetary defense \& high-energy missions}, series = {IEEE Aerospace Conference Proceedings}, booktitle = {IEEE Aerospace Conference Proceedings}, doi = {10.1109/AERO.2019.8741900}, pages = {1 -- 21}, year = {2019}, abstract = {20 years after the successful ground deployment test of a (20 m) 2 solar sail at DLR Cologne, and in the light of the upcoming U.S. NEAscout mission, we provide an overview of the progress made since in our mission and hardware design studies as well as the hardware built in the course of our solar sail technology development. We outline the most likely and most efficient routes to develop solar sails for useful missions in science and applications, based on our developed `now-term' and near-term hardware as well as the many practical and managerial lessons learned from the DLR-ESTEC Gossamer Roadmap. Mission types directly applicable to planetary defense include single and Multiple NEA Rendezvous ((M)NR) for precursor, monitoring and follow-up scenarios as well as sail-propelled head-on retrograde kinetic impactors (RKI) for mitigation. Other mission types such as the Displaced L1 (DL1) space weather advance warning and monitoring or Solar Polar Orbiter (SPO) types demonstrate the capability of near-term solar sails to achieve asteroid rendezvous in any kind of orbit, from Earth-coorbital to extremely inclined and even retrograde orbits. Some of these mission types such as SPO, (M)NR and RKI include separable payloads. For one-way access to the asteroid surface, nanolanders like MASCOT are an ideal match for solar sails in micro-spacecraft format, i.e. in launch configurations compatible with ESPA and ASAP secondary payload platforms. Larger landers similar to the JAXA-DLR study of a Jupiter Trojan asteroid lander for the OKEANOS mission can shuttle from the sail to the asteroids visited and enable multiple NEA sample-return missions. The high impact velocities and re-try capability achieved by the RKI mission type on a final orbit identical to the target asteroid's but retrograde to its motion enables small spacecraft size impactors to carry sufficient kinetic energy for deflection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SadeghfamSadeghiAhangarElgamaletal.2019, author = {Sadeghfam, Arash and Sadeghi-Ahangar, A. and Elgamal, Abdelrahman and Heuermann, Holger}, title = {Design and Development of a Novel Self-Igniting Microwave Plasma Jet for Industrial Applications}, series = {IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest}, booktitle = {IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest}, isbn = {978-172811309-8}, pages = {63 -- 66}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{CapriMorsianiSantoroetal.2019, author = {Capri, Miriam and Morsiani, Cristina and Santoro, Aurelia and Moriggi, Manuela and Conte, Maria and Martucci, Morena and Bellavista, Elena and Fabbri, Cristina and Giampieri, Enrico and Albracht, Kirsten and Fl{\"u}ck, Martin and Ruoss, Severin and Brocca, Lorenza and Canepari, Monica and Longa, Emanuela and Giulio, Irene Di and Bottinelli, Roberto and Cerretelli, Paolo and Salvioli, Stefano and Gelfi, Cecilia and Franceschi, Claudio and Narici, Marco and Rittweger, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Recovery from 6-month spaceflight at the International Space Station: muscle-related stress into a proinflammatory setting}, series = {The FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology}, volume = {33}, journal = {The FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1096/fj.201801625R}, pages = {5168 -- 5180}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{SchildtBraunMarzocca2019, author = {Schildt, Ph. and Braun, Carsten and Marzocca, P.}, title = {Metric evaluating potentials of condition-monitoring approaches for hybrid electric aircraft propulsion systems}, series = {CEAS Aeronautical Journal}, journal = {CEAS Aeronautical Journal}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1869-5590}, doi = {10.1007/s13272-019-00411-3}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GaldiHartungDugelay2019, author = {Galdi, Chiara and Hartung, Frank and Dugelay, Jean-Luc}, title = {Socrates: A database of realistic data for source camera recognition on smartphones}, series = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods - Volume 1: ICPRAM}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods - Volume 1: ICPRAM}, isbn = {978-989-758-351-3}, doi = {10.5220/0007403706480655}, pages = {648 -- 655}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{QuittmannAbelAlbrachtetal.2019, author = {Quittmann, Oliver J. and Abel, Thomas and Albracht, Kirsten and Str{\"u}der, Heiko K.}, title = {Reliability of muscular activation patterns and their alterations during incremental handcycling in able-bodied participants}, series = {Sports Biomechanics}, journal = {Sports Biomechanics}, number = {Article in press}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1752-6116}, doi = {10.1080/14763141.2019.1593496}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{GoettenHavermannBraunetal.2019, author = {G{\"o}tten, Falk and Havermann, Marc and Braun, Carsten and Gomez, Francisco and Bil, Cees}, title = {RANS Simulation Validation of a Small Sensor Turret for UAVs}, series = {Journal of Aerospace Engineering}, volume = {32}, journal = {Journal of Aerospace Engineering}, number = {5}, publisher = {ASCE}, address = {New York}, issn = {1943-5525}, doi = {10.1061/(ASCE)AS.1943-5525.0001055}, pages = {Article number 04019060}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Recent Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) design procedures rely on full aircraft steady-state Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) analyses in early design stages. Small sensor turrets are included in such simulations, even though their aerodynamic properties show highly unsteady behavior. Very little is known about the effects of this approach on the simulation outcomes of small turrets. Therefore, the flow around a model turret at a Reynolds number of 47,400 is simulated with a steady-state RANS approach and compared to experimental data. Lift, drag, and surface pressure show good agreement with the experiment. The RANS model predicts the separation location too far downstream and shows a larger recirculation region aft of the body. Both characteristic arch and horseshoe vortex structures are visualized and qualitatively match the ones found by the experiment. The Reynolds number dependence of the drag coefficient follows the trend of a sphere within a distinct range. The outcomes indicate that a steady-state RANS model of a small sensor turret is able to give results that are useful for UAV engineering purposes but might not be suited for detailed insight into flow properties.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchwagerTeixeiraBouraFleschetal.2019, author = {Schwager, Christian and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Flesch, Robert and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Improved efficiency prediction of a molten salt receiver based on dynamic cloud passage simulation}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, volume = {2126}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, number = {1}, isbn = {978-0-7354-1866-0}, doi = {10.1063/1.5117566}, pages = {030054-1 -- 030054-8}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtForkmannSchultzetal.2019, author = {Schmidt, Katharina and Forkmann, Katarina and Schultz, Heidrun and Gratz, Marcel and Bitz, Andreas and Wiech, Katja and Bingel, Ulrike}, title = {Enhanced Neural Reinstatement for Evoked Facial Pain Compared With Evoked Hand Pain}, series = {The Journal of Pain}, journal = {The Journal of Pain}, number = {In Press, Corrected Proof}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1526-5900}, doi = {10.1016/j.jpain.2019.03.003}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @book{StaatErni2019, author = {Staat, Manfred and Erni, Daniel}, title = {Symposium Proceedings; 3rd YRA MedTech Symposium 2019: May 24 / 2019 / FH Aachen}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-940402-22-6}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/48750}, pages = {49 Seiten}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HunkerJungGossmannetal.2019, author = {Hunker, Jan and Jung, Alexander and Goßmann, Matthias and Linder, Peter and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Development of a tool to analyze the conduction speed in microelectrode array measurements of cardiac tissue}, series = {3rd YRA MedTech Symposium 2019 : May 24 / 2019 / FH Aachen}, booktitle = {3rd YRA MedTech Symposium 2019 : May 24 / 2019 / FH Aachen}, editor = {Staat, Manfred and Erni, Daniel}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-940402-22-6}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/48750}, pages = {7 -- 8}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cells reprogrammed from somatic cells [1] and their ability to differentiate into cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) has provided a robust platform for drug screening [2].
