Direct exploration of such extraterrestrial aquatic ecosystems requires advanced access and sampling technologies with a high level of autonomy. A new technological approach has been developed as part of the collaborative research project Enceladus Explorer (EnEx). The concept is based upon a minimally invasive melting probe called the IceMole. The force-regulated, heater-controlled IceMole is able to travel along a curved trajectory as well as upwards. Hence, it allows maneuvers which may be necessary for obstacle avoidance or target selection. Maneuverability, however, necessitates a sophisticated on-board navigation system capable of autonomous operations. The development of such a navigational system has been the focal part of the EnEx project. The original IceMole has been further developed to include relative positioning based on in-ice attitude determination, acoustic positioning, ultrasonic obstacle and target detection integrated through a high-level sensor fusion. This paper describes the EnEx technology and discusses implications for an actual extraterrestrial mission concept.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtForkmannSinkeetal.2016, author = {Schmidt, Katharina and Forkmann, Katarina and Sinke, C. and Gratz, Marcel and Bitz, Andreas and Bingel, Ulrike}, title = {The differential effect of trigeminal vs. peripheral pain stimulation on visual processing and memory encoding is influenced by pain-related fear}, series = {NeuroImage}, volume = {134}, journal = {NeuroImage}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1053-8119}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.03.026}, pages = {386 -- 395}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Compared to peripheral pain, trigeminal pain elicits higher levels of fear, which is assumed to enhance the interruptive effects of pain on concomitant cognitive processes. In this fMRI study we examined the behavioral and neural effects of trigeminal (forehead) and peripheral (hand) pain on visual processing and memory encoding. Cerebral activity was measured in 23 healthy subjects performing a visual categorization task that was immediately followed by a surprise recognition task. During the categorization task subjects received concomitant noxious electrical stimulation on the forehead or hand. Our data show that fear ratings were significantly higher for trigeminal pain. Categorization and recognition performance did not differ between pictures that were presented with trigeminal and peripheral pain. However, object categorization in the presence of trigeminal pain was associated with stronger activity in task-relevant visual areas (lateral occipital complex, LOC), memory encoding areas (hippocampus and parahippocampus) and areas implicated in emotional processing (amygdala) compared to peripheral pain. Further, individual differences in neural activation between the trigeminal and the peripheral condition were positively related to differences in fear ratings between both conditions. Functional connectivity between amygdala and LOC was increased during trigeminal compared to peripheral painful stimulation. Fear-driven compensatory resource activation seems to be enhanced for trigeminal stimuli, presumably due to their exceptional biological relevance.}, language = {en} } @article{BalakrishnanAndreiSelmerSelmeretal.2010, author = {Balakrishnan, Karthikeyan and Andrei-Selmer, Luminita-Cornelia and Selmer, Thorsten and Bacher, Michael and Dodel, Richard}, title = {Comparison of intravenous immunoglobulins for naturally occurring autoantibodies against amyloid-β}, series = {Journal of Alzheimer's Disease}, volume = {20}, journal = {Journal of Alzheimer's Disease}, number = {1}, publisher = {IOS Press}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1387-2877}, doi = {10.3233/JAD-2010-1353}, pages = {135 -- 143}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are currently used for therapeutic purposes in autoimmune disorders.

These unique microbial ecosystems remain understudied due to the challenges of access through thick glacial ice (tens to hundreds of meters). Additionally, sub-ice collections must be conducted in a clean manner to ensure sample integrity for downstream microbiological and geochemical analyses. We describe the field-based cleaning of a melt probe that was used to collect brine samples from within a glacier conduit at Blood Falls, Antarctica, for geomicrobiological studies. We used a thermoelectric melting probe called the IceMole that was designed to be minimally invasive in that the logistical requirements in support of drilling operations were small and the probe could be cleaned, even in a remote field setting, so as to minimize potential contamination. In our study, the exterior bioburden on the IceMole was reduced to levels measured in most clean rooms, and below that of the ice surrounding our sampling target. Potential microbial contaminants were identified during the cleaning process; however, very few were detected in the final englacial sample collected with the IceMole and were present in extremely low abundances (∼0.063\% of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences). This cleaning protocol can help minimize contamination when working in remote field locations, support microbiological sampling of terrestrial subglacial environments using melting probes, and help inform planetary protection challenges for Ocean World analog mission concepts.}, language = {en} } @techreport{FeldmannKuhnhenneDoeringetal.2013, author = {Feldmann, Marco and Kuhnhenne, M. and D{\"o}ring, Bernd and Pyschny, D. and Lawson, R.M. and Chuter, R.D. and Boudjabeur, S. and Lecomte-Labory, F. and Airaksinen, M. and Heikkinen, J. and Laamanen, J. and Albart, P. and D'Haeyer, R. and Chica, J.A. and Maseda, J.M. and Amundarain, A. and Rips, M.O. and Nu{\~n}ez, J.A. and Mac{\´i}as, O. and Beguin, P. and Ben Larbi, A.}, title = {Energy and thermal improvements for construction in steel (ETHICS) - EUR 26010}, publisher = {Publications Office of the European Union}, address = {Luxembourg}, organization = {European Commission}, isbn = {978-92-79-30789-8}, issn = {1831-9424}, doi = {10.2777/17106}, pages = {136 Seiten}, year = {2013}, abstract = {ETHICS is concerned with evaluating, measuring and making improvements in the thermal and energy performance of steel-clad and steel-framed buildings.

Occasional packet loss in data transmission resulted in a sparse number of increased sampling intervals, which where compensated for by linear interpolation during post processing. The presented dataset is based on a subset of this data: The penetration distance is calculated based on the ice screw drive encoder signal, providing the rate of rotation, and the screw's thread pitch. The melting speed is calculated from the same data, assuming the rate of rotation to be constant over one sampling interval. The contact force is calculated from the longitudinal screw force, which es measured by strain gauges.
