Due to the low calorific heating value, leonardite is rather unsuitable as fuel. However, it may serve as a potential source of humic substances. This study was aimed at characterizing the leonardite-based soil amendments and examining the effect of their application on the soil microbial community, as well as on potato growth and tuber yield. A high yield (71.1\%) of humic acid (LHA) from leonardite has been demonstrated. Parental leonardite (PL) and LHA were applied to soil prior to potato cultivation. The 16S rRNA sequencing of soil samples revealed distinct relationships between microbial community composition and the application of leonardite-based soil amendments. Potato tubers were planted in pots in greenhouse conditions. The tubers were harvested at the mature stage for the determination of growth and yield parameters. The results demonstrated that the LHA treatments had a significant effect on increasing potato growth (54.9\%) and tuber yield (66.4\%) when compared to the control. The findings highlight the importance of amending leonardite-based humic products for maintaining the biogeochemical stability of soils, for keeping their healthy microbial community structure, and for increasing the agronomic productivity of potato plants.}, language = {en} } @incollection{AkimbekovDigelRazzaque2022, author = {Akimbekov, Nuraly S. and Digel, Ilya and Razzaque, Mohammed S.}, title = {Role of vitamins in maintaining structure and function of intestinal microbiome}, series = {Comprehensive Gut Microbiota}, booktitle = {Comprehensive Gut Microbiota}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {978-0-12-822036-8}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-12-819265-8.00043-7}, pages = {320 -- 334}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The recent advances in microbiology have shed light on understanding the role of vitamins beyond the nutritional range.

Vitamin D and its nuclear receptor (VDR) regulate intestinal barrier integrity, and control innate and adaptive immunity in the gut. Metabolites from the gut microbiota may also regulate expression of VDR, while vitamin D may influence the gut microbiota and exert anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects. The underlying mechanism of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of bowel diseases is not fully understood, but maintaining an optimal vitamin D status appears to be beneficial for gut health.

Vitamin D, as calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D), not only increases intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption but also facilitates their renal reabsorption, leading to elevated serum calcium and phosphate levels. The interaction of 1,25(OH)2D with its receptor (VDR) increases the efficiency of intestinal absorption of calcium to 30-40\% and phosphate to nearly 80\%. Serum phosphate levels can also influence 1,25 (OH)2D and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels, i.e., higher phosphate concentrations suppress vitamin D activation and stimulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) release, while a high FGF23 serum level leads to reduced vitamin D synthesis. In the vitamin D-deficient state, the intestinal calcium absorption decreases and the secretion of PTH increases, which in turn causes the stimulation of 1,25(OH)2D production, resulting in excessive urinary phosphate loss. Maintenance of phosphate homeostasis is essential as hyperphosphatemia is a risk factor of cardiovascular calcification, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and premature aging, while hypophosphatemia is usually associated with rickets and osteomalacia.

The actuation of microreactors on the hydrophobic surface of the platform is based on the use of magnetic forces acting on the outer shell of the liquid drops which is made of a thin layer of superhydrophobic magnetite particles. The hydrophobic surface of the platform is needed to avoid any contact between the liquid core and the surface to allow a smooth movement of the microreactor.

Retinal vessels as an embryological part of the intracranial vasculature are easily accessible for analysis and may hold the key to a new and non-invasive monitoring technique. This investigation aims to determine the feasibility of standardized retinal vessel analysis (RVA) in the context of SAH. Methods In a prospective pilot study, we performed RVA in six patients awake and cooperative with SAH in the acute phase (day 2-14) and eight patients at the time of follow-up (mean 4.6±1.7months after SAH), and included 33 age-matched healthy controls. Data was acquired using a manoeuvrable Dynamic Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG, Jena) for examination of retinal vessel dimension and neurovascular coupling. Results Image quality was satisfactory in the majority of cases (93.3\%). In the acute phase after SAH, retinal arteries were significantly dilated when compared to the control group (124.2±4.3MU vs 110.9±11.4MU, p<0.01), a difference that persisted to a lesser extent in the later stage of the disease (122.7±17.2MU, p<0.05). Testing for neurovascular coupling showed a trend towards impaired primary vasodilation and secondary vasoconstriction (p = 0.08, p = 0.09 resp.) initially and partial recovery at the time of follow-up, indicating a relative improvement in a time-dependent fashion. Conclusion RVA is technically feasible in patients with SAH and can detect fluctuations in vessel diameter and autoregulation even in less severely affected patients.

Dynamic vessel analysis (DVA) included an application of monochromatic flicker light impulses in predefined frequencies for evaluating NVC. All retinae were harvested after DVA and electroretinograms were performed. Results A total of 104 retinal scans were conducted in 21 male mice (90 scans). Quantitative arterial recordings were feasible only in a minority of animals, showing an emphasized reaction to flicker light impulses (8 mice; 14 scans). A characteristic venous response to flicker light, however, could observed in the majority of animals. Repeated measurements resulted in a significant decrease of baseline venous diameter (7 mice; 7 scans, p < 0.05).

A way to solve these problems is the production of biogas. Biogas is a combustible gas consisting of methane, carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases and trace elements. Production of biogas through anaerobic digestion of animal manure and slurries as well as of a wide range of digestible organic wastes and agricultural residues, converts these substrates into electricity and heat and offers a natural fertiliser for agriculture. The microbiological process of decomposition of organic matter, in the absence of oxygen takes place in reactors, called digesters. Biogas can be used as a fuel in a gas turbine or burner and can be used in a hybrid solar tower system offering a solution for waste treatment of agricultural and animal residues. A solar tower system consists of a heliostat field, which concentrates direct solar irradiation on an open volumetric central receiver. The receiver heats up ambient air to temperatures of around 700°C. The hot air's heat energy is transferred to a steam Rankine cycle in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The steam drives a steam turbine, which in turn drives a generator for producing electricity. In order to increase the operational hours of a solar tower power plant, a heat storage system and/ or hybridization may be considered. The advantage of solar-fossil hybrid power plants, compared to solar-only systems, lies in low additional investment costs due to an adaptable solar share and reduced technical and economical risks. On sunny days the hybrid system operates in a solar-only mode with the central receiver and on cloudy days and at night with the gas turbine only. As an alternative to methane gas, environmentally neutral biogas can be used for operating the gas turbine. Hence, the hybrid system is operated to 100\% from renewable energy sources}, language = {en} } @incollection{Alexopoulos2013, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros}, title = {Biomass technology and bio-fuels: Heating/cooling and power}, series = {Renewable energy systems : theory, innovations, and intelligent applications / eds.: Socrates Kaplanis and Eleni Kaplani}, booktitle = {Renewable energy systems : theory, innovations, and intelligent applications / eds.: Socrates Kaplanis and Eleni Kaplani}, publisher = {Nova Science Publ.}, address = {Hauppauge, NY}, isbn = {9781624177415}, pages = {501 -- 523}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{Alexopoulos2015, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros}, title = {Simulation model for the transient process behaviour of solar aluminium recycling in a rotary kiln}, series = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, volume = {78}, journal = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1359-4311}, doi = {10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2015.01.007}, pages = {387 -- 396}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlexopoulosBreitbachHoffschmidt2009, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros and Breitbach, Gerd and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard}, title = {Optimization of the channel form geometry of porous ReSiC ceramic membrane modules}, series = {Proceedings / International Conference \& Exhibition for Filtration and Separation Technology, FILTECH 2009 : October 13 - 15, 2009, Wiesbaden, Germany.

In this pilot study, we present data on the phylogenetic and ecological structure of microorganisms from epipelagic water samples collected in the Small Aral Sea (SAS). The raw data were generated by massive parallel sequencing using the shotgun approach. As expected, most of the identified DNA sequences belonged to Terrabacteria and Actinobacteria (40\% and 37\% of the total reads, respectively). The occurrence of Deinococcus-Thermus, Armatimonadetes, Chloroflexi in the epipelagic SAS waters was less anticipated. Surprising was also the detection of sequences, which are characteristic for strict anaerobes—Ignavibacteria, hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, and archaeal methanogenic species. We suppose that the observed very broad range of phylogenetic and ecological features displayed by the SAS reads demonstrates a more intensive mixing of water masses originating from diverse ecological niches of the Aral-Syr Darya River basin than presumed before.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhaskirTschescheLinkeetal.2023, author = {Alhaskir, Mohamed and Tschesche, Matteo and Linke, Florian and Schriewer, Elisabeth and Weber, Yvonne and Wolking, Stefan and R{\"o}hrig, Rainer and Koch, Henner and Kutafina, Ekaterina}, title = {ECG matching: an approach to synchronize ECG datasets for data quality comparisons}, series = {German Medical Data Sciences 2023 - Science.

Comparing recordings of emerging electrocardiography (ECG) systems to a reference ECG system requires accurate synchronization of data from both devices. Current methods can be inefficient and prone to errors. To address this issue, three algorithms are presented to synchronize two ECG time series from different recording systems: Binned R-peak Correlation, R-R Interval Correlation, and Average R-peak Distance. These algorithms reduce ECG data to their cyclic features, mitigating inefficiencies and minimizing discrepancies between different recording systems. We evaluate the performance of these algorithms using high-quality data and then assess their robustness after manipulating the R-peaks. Our results show that R-R Interval Correlation was the most efficient, whereas the Average R-peak Distance and Binned R-peak Correlation were more robust against noisy data.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinGebhardtetal.2015, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Gebhardt, Andreas and Kallweit, Stephan and Scholl, Ingrid and Tedjasukmana, Osmond Sanjaya}, title = {Improving additive manufacturing by image processing and robotic milling}, series = {2015 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), Aug 24-28, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden}, booktitle = {2015 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), Aug 24-28, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden}, doi = {10.1109/CoASE.2015.7294217}, pages = {924 -- 929}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2014, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {IR stereo kinect: improving depth images by combining structured light with IR stereo}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @incollection{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2014, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {IR stereo kinect: improving depth images by combining structured light with IR stereo}, series = {PRICAI 2014: Trends in artificial intelligence : 13th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence : Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, December 1-5, 2014 : proceedings.

A depth image is computed by calculating the distortion of a known infrared light (IR) pattern which is projected into the scene. While these sensors are great devices they have some limitations. The distance they can measure is limited and they suffer from reflection problems on transparent, shiny, or very matte and absorbing objects. If more than one RGB-D camera is used the IR patterns interfere with each other. This results in a massive loss of depth information. In this paper, we present a simple and powerful method to overcome these problems. We propose a stereo RGB-D camera system which uses the pros of RGB-D cameras and combine them with the pros of stereo camera systems. The idea is to utilize the IR images of each two sensors as a stereo pair to generate a depth map. The IR patterns emitted by IR projectors are exploited here to enhance the dense stereo matching even if the observed objects or surfaces are texture-less or transparent. The resulting disparity map is then fused with the depth map offered by the RGB-D sensor to fill the regions and the holes that appear because of interference, or due to transparent or reflective objects. Our results show that the density of depth information is increased especially for transparent, shiny or matte objects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2018, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {CRVM: Circular Random Variable-based Matcher - A Novel Hashing Method for Fast NN Search in High-dimensional Spaces}, series = {Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods, ICPRAM 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods, ICPRAM 2018}, isbn = {978-989-758-276-9}, doi = {10.5220/0006692802140221}, pages = {214 -- 221}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2019, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {An Efficient Hashing Algorithm for NN Problem in HD Spaces}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, booktitle = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, isbn = {978-303005498-4}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-05499-1_6}, pages = {101 -- 115}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinSchifferFerreinetal.2018, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {Optimized KinectFusion Algorithm for 3D Scanning Applications}, series = {Proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - Volume 2: BIOIMAGING}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - Volume 2: BIOIMAGING}, isbn = {978-989-758-278-3}, doi = {10.5220/0006594700500057}, pages = {50 -- 57}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinSchifferFerreinetal.2019, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {An Optimized Method for 3D Body Scanning Applications Based on KinectFusion}, series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, volume = {1024}, booktitle = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, publisher = {Springer}, issn = {1865-0929}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-29196-9_6}, pages = {100 -- 113}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AllalBannisterBuismanetal.2022, author = {Allal, D. and Bannister, R. and Buisman, K. and Capriglione, D. and Di Capua, G. and Garc{\´i}a-Patr{\´o}n, M. and Gatzweiler, Thomas and Gellersen, F. and Harzheim, Thomas and Heuermann, Holger and Hoffmann, J. and Izbrodin, A. and Kuhlmann, K. and Lahbacha, K. and Maffucci, A. and Miele, G. and Mubarak, F. and Salter, M. and Pham, T.D. and Sayegh, A. and Singh, D. and Stein, F. and Zeier, M.}, title = {RF measurements for future communication applications: an overview}, series = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-6654-8362-9}, issn = {2639-5061}, doi = {10.1109/MN55117.2022.9887740}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In this paper research activities developed within the FutureCom project are presented.
