The idea was to test the sensors in different typical scenarios that were defined with real-world use cases in mind, in order to find a sensor that meet the requirements of self-driving vehicles. For this, we defined static and dynamic benchmark scenarios. In the static scenarios, both LiDAR and the detection target do not move during the measurement. In dynamic scenarios, the LiDAR sensor was mounted on the vehicle which was driving toward the detection target. We tested all mentioned LiDAR sensors in both scenarios, show the results regarding the detection accuracy of the targets, and discuss their usefulness for deployment in self-driving cars.}, language = {en} } @article{AbulnagaPinkenburgSchiffelsetal.2013, author = {Abulnaga, El-Hussiny and Pinkenburg, Olaf and Schiffels, Johannes and E-Refai, Ahmed and Buckel, Wolfgang and Selmer, Thorsten}, title = {Effect of an Oxygen-Tolerant Bifurcating Butyryl Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase/Electron-Transferring Flavoprotein Complex from Clostridium difficile on Butyrate Production in Escherichia coli}, series = {Journal of bacteriology}, volume = {195}, journal = {Journal of bacteriology}, number = {16}, issn = {1098-5530 [E-Journal]}, pages = {3704 -- 3713}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{MeyerStorkHoeckerBerndt1992, author = {Meyer-Stork, L.

Materials and Methods: The MHD effect was scrutinized using a pulsatile flow phantom at B0 = 7.0 T. MHD effects were examined in vivo in healthy volunteers (n = 10) for B0 ranging from 0.05-7.0 T. Noncontrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) of the carotids was performed using a gated steady-state free-precession (SSFP) imaging technique in conjunction with electrocardiogram (ECG) and MHD synchronization. Results: The MHD potential correlates with flow velocities derived from phase contrast MRI. MHD voltages depend on the orientation between B0 and the flow of a conductive fluid. An increase in the interelectrode spacing along the flow increases the MHD potential. In vivo measurement of the MHD effect provides peak voltages of 1.5 mV for surface areas close to the common carotid artery at B0 = 7.0 T. Synchronization of MRI with the cardiac cycle using MHD triggering is feasible. MHD triggered MRA of the carotids at 3.0 T showed an overall image quality and richness of anatomic detail, which is comparable to ECG-triggered MRAs. Conclusion: This feasibility study demonstrates the use of MHD effects for synchronization of MR acquisitions with the cardiac cycle. J. Magn. Reson.

Among other things, tree species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified. However, while environmental factors may severely limit tree growth or even cause tree death, assessing a tree species' potential for surviving future aggravated environmental conditions is rather demanding. The aim of this study was to find a tree-ring-based method suitable for identifying very drought-tolerant species, particularly potential substitute species for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Valais. In this inner-Alpine valley, Scots pine used to be the dominating species for dry forests, but today it suffers from high drought-induced mortality. We investigate the growth response of two native tree species, Scots pine and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.), and two non-native species, black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. var. menziesii), to drought. This involved analysing how the radial increment of these species responded to increasing water shortage (abandonment of irrigation) and to increasingly frequent drought years. Black pine and Douglas fir are able to cope with drought better than Scots pine and larch, as they show relatively high radial growth even after irrigation has been stopped and a plastic growth response to drought years. European larch does not seem to be able to cope with these dry conditions as it lacks the ability to recover from drought years. The analysis of trees' short-term response to extreme climate events seems to be the most promising and suitable method for detecting how tolerant a tree species is towards drought. However, combining all the methods used in this study provides a complete picture of how water shortage could limit species.}, language = {en} } @article{Biewendt2020, author = {Biewendt, Marcel}, title = {Sustainable development: A quantitative analysis regarding the impact of resource rents on state welfare from 2002 to 2017}, series = {SocioEconomic Challenges}, volume = {4}, journal = {SocioEconomic Challenges}, number = {4}, publisher = {ARMG Publishing}, address = {Sumy}, issn = {2520-6214}, doi = {10.21272/sec.4(4).119-131.2020}, pages = {119 -- 131}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017.

As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country's cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. The hypothesis presented and discussed in this paper was researched before. A qualitative research approach was used in the author's master's thesis "The Human Development Index (HDI) as a Reflection of Resource Abundance (using Nigeria and Norway as a case study)" in 2018. The management of scarce resources is an important aspect in the development of modern countries and those on the threshold of becoming industrialised nations. The effects of a mistaken resource management are not only of a purely economic nature but also of a social and socio-economic nature. In order to present a partial aspect of these dependencies and influences this paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017. Nigeria and Norway have been chosen as reference countries due to their abundance of natural resources by similar economic performance, while the ranking in the Human Development Index differs significantly. As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country's cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. This paper found out in a holistic perspective that (not or poorly managed) resource wealth in itself has a negative impact on socio-economic development and significantly reduces the productivity of the citizens of a state. This is expressed in particular for the years 2002 till 2017 in a negative correlation of GDP per capita and HDI value with the share respectively the size of resources in the GDP of a country.}, language = {en} } @article{BronderJessingPoghossianetal.2018, author = {Bronder, Thomas and Jessing, Max P. and Poghossian, Arshak and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Detection of PCR-Amplified Tuberculosis DNA Fragments with Polyelectrolyte-Modified Field-Effect Sensors}, series = {Analytical Chemistry}, volume = {90}, journal = {Analytical Chemistry}, number = {12}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {0003-2700}, doi = {10.1021/acs.analchem.8b01807}, pages = {7747 -- 7753}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Field-effect-based electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) sensors were modified with a bilayer of positively charged weak polyelectrolyte (poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)) and probe single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and are used for the detection of complementary single-stranded target DNA (cDNA) in different test solutions.

Numerical simulations were used for B1+ field homogenization and radiofrequency (RF) safety validation. RF characteristics were examined in a phantom study. The array's suitability for accelerated high spatial resolution two-dimensional (2D) FLASH CINE imaging of the heart was examined in a volunteer study. Results Transmission field adjustments and RF characteristics were found to be suitable for the volunteer study. The signal-to-noise intrinsic to 7.0T together with the coil performance afforded a spatial resolution of 1.1 × 1.1 × 2.5 mm3 for 2D CINE FLASH MRI, which is by a factor of 6 superior to standardized CINE protocols used in clinical practice at 1.5T. The 32-channel transceiver array supports one-dimensional acceleration factors of up to R = 4 without impairing image quality significantly.

Alternatives for the conversion of PAN-precursors into carbon fiber nonwovens are scarce. Here, we utilize an atmospheric pressure plasma jet to conduct carbonization of stabilized PAN nanofiber nonwovens. We explore the influence of various processing parameters on the conductivity and degree of carbonization of the converted nanofiber material. The precursor fibers are converted by plasma-jet treatment to carbon fiber nonwovens within seconds, by which they develop a rough surface making subsequent surface activation processes obsolete. The resulting carbon nanofiber nonwovens are applied as supercapacitor electrodes and examined by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. Nonwovens that are carbonized within 60 s show capacitances of up to 5 F g⁻¹.}, language = {en} } @article{BerndtKlostermeyerZahn1972, author = {Berndt, Heinz and Klostermeyer, Henning and Zahn, Helmut}, title = {Zur Synthese monomerer cyclischer Cystinpeptidderivate, I : Synthese der Sequenz A 6-9 des Schafinsulins als Cyclocystinylderivat}, series = {Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie}, volume = {759}, journal = {Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1099-0690}, doi = {10.1002/jlac.19727590109}, pages = {114 -- 120}, year = {1972}, abstract = {Es wird die Synthese der Sequenz A 6-9 des Schafinsulins in der gesch{\"u}tzten Form Boc-Cys-Cys-Ala-Gly-OBuᵗ (5) sowie das Verhalten dieses monomeren cyclischen Cystinpeptidderivates gegen{\"u}ber den in der Peptidchemie gebr{\"a}uchlichen Reagenzien Bortrifluorid/Eisessig, Tri{\"a}thylamin und Hydrazinhydrat beschrieben.}, language = {de} } @article{AnikFrohberg1984, author = {Anik, Sabri and Frohberg, Martin G.}, title = {Thermodynamics and solubility of oxygen in liquid copper-lead alloys at 1200°C from E.M.F. measurements}, series = {Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft f{\"u}r physikalische Chemie}, volume = {88}, journal = {Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft f{\"u}r physikalische Chemie}, number = {8}, issn = {0940-483X}, pages = {707 -- 710}, year = {1984}, language = {en} } @article{Esch2010, author = {Esch, Thomas}, title = {Trends in commercial vehicle powertrains}, series = {ATZautotechnology}, volume = {2010}, journal = {ATZautotechnology}, number = {10}, publisher = {Vieweg \& Sohn}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2192-886X}, doi = {10.1007/BF03247185}, pages = {26 -- 31}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Low emission zones and truck bans, the rising price of diesel and increases in road tolls: all of these factors are putting serious pressure on the transport industry.
