The effect of tissue preservation condition is an important factor which should be taken into account for protracted biomechanical tests. In this work, tension tests were conducted for a large number of tissue specimens from twenty pigs divided into two groups of 10. Concretely, the first group was tested in fresh state; the other one was tested after a freeze-thaw cycle which simulates the conservation conditions before biomechanical experiments. A modified Fung model for isotropic behavior was adopted for the curve fitting of each kind of tissues. Experimental results show strong effects of the realistic freeze-thaw cycle on the capsule of elastin-rich spleen but negligible effects on the liver which virtually contains no elastin. This different behavior could be explained by the autolysis of elastin by elastolytic enzymes during the warmer period after thawing. Realistic biomechanical properties of elastin-rich organs can only be expected if really fresh tissue is tested. The observations are supported by tests of intestines.}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarLanzlHanssenetal.2012, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Lanzl, Ines M. and Hanssen, Henner and Eberhardt, Karla and Vilser, Walthard and Halle, Martin and Heemann, Uwe and Schmidt-Trucks{\"a}ss, Arno and Baumann, Marcus}, title = {Does increased blood pressure rather than aging influence retinal pulse wave velocity?}, series = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS}, volume = {53}, journal = {Investigative Ophthalmology \& Visual Science, IOVS}, number = {4}, publisher = {ARVO}, address = {Rockville, Md.}, issn = {0146-0404}, doi = {10.1167/iovs.11-8815}, pages = {2119 -- 2126}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Purpose: It was demonstrated previously that retinal pulse wave velocity (rPWV) as a measure of retinal arterial stiffness is increased in aged anamnestically healthy volunteers compared with young healthy subjects. Using novel methodology of rPWV assessment this finding was confirmed and investigated whether it might relate to the increased blood pressure usually accompanying the aging process, rather than to the aging itself. Methods: A total of 12 young 25.5-year-old (24.0-28.8) [median(1st quartile-3rd quartile)] and 12 senior 68.5-year-old (63.8-71.8) anamnestically healthy volunteers; and 12 senior 63.0-year-old (60.8-65.0) validated healthy volunteers and 12 young 33.0-year-old (29.5-35.0) hypertensive patients were examined. Time-dependent alterations of vessel diameter were assessed by the Dynamic Vessel Analyzer in a retinal artery of each subject. The data were filtered and processed using mathematical signal analysis and rPWVs were calculated. Results: rPWV amounted to 1200 (990-1470) RU (relative units)/s in the hypertensive group and to 1040 (700-2230) RU/s in anamnestically healthy seniors. These differed significantly from rPWVs in young healthy group (410 [280-500] RU/s) and in validated healthy seniors (400 [320-510] RU/s). rPWV associated with age and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the pooled cohort excluded validated healthy seniors. In a regression model these associations remain when alternately adjusted for MAP and age. When including validated healthy seniors in the pooled cohort only association with MAP remains. Conclusions: Both aging (with not excluded cardiovascular risk factors) and mild hypertension are associated with elevated rPWV. rPWV increases to a similar extent both in young mildly hypertensive subjects and in aged anamnestically healthy persons. Healthy aging is not associated with increased rPWV.}, language = {en} } @article{KlingeWilkeMuehl2012, author = {Klinge, Uwe and Wilke, Ralf and M{\"u}hl, Thomas}, title = {Auswahl der Herniennetze nach der "effektiven Porosit{\"a}t" - warum das Gewicht weniger wichtig ist}, series = {Chirurgische Allgemeine : CHAZ ; Zeitung f{\"u}r Klinik und Praxis}, volume = {13}, journal = {Chirurgische Allgemeine : CHAZ ; Zeitung f{\"u}r Klinik und Praxis}, number = {12}, publisher = {Kaden}, address = {Mannheim}, isbn = {1615-5378}, pages = {297 -- 301}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{BohrnStuetzFuchsetal.2012, author = {Bohrn, U. and St{\"u}tz, E. and Fuchs, K. and Fleischer, M. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Wagner, P.}, title = {Monitoring of irritant gas using a whole-cell-based sensor system}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical}, volume = {175}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0925-4005}, doi = {10.1016/j.snb.2012.05.088}, pages = {208 -- 217}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Cell-based sensors for the detection of gases have long been underrepresented, due to the cellular requirement of being cultured in a liquid environment.

Cells of the respiratory tract (A549, RPMI 2650, V79), which survive at a gas phase in a natural context, are used as biological receptors. The physiological cell parameters acidification, respiration and morphology are continuously monitored in parallel. Ammonia was used as a highly water-soluble model gas to test the feasibility of the sensor system. Infrared measurements confirmed the sufficiency of the medium draining method.

These sensors are built up in form of a differential set-up of a catalytically active and passive temperature-sensitive structure. Although, various types of catalytically active dispersions have been studied, the passivation layer has to be established and therefore, chemically as well as physically characterised. In the present work, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), perfluoralkoxy (PFA) and epoxy-based SU-8 photoresist as temperature-stable polymeric materials have been investigated for sensor passivation in terms of their chemical inertness against H₂O₂, their hygroscopic properties as well as their morphology. The polymeric materials were deposited via spin-coating on the temperature-sensitive structure, wherein spin-coated FEP and PFA show slight agglomerates. However, they possess a low absorption of humidity due to their hydrophobic surface, whereas the SU-8 layer has a closed surface but shows a slightly higher absorption of water. All of them were inert against gaseous H₂O₂ during the characterisation in H₂O₂ atmosphere that demonstrates their suitability as passivation layer for calorimetric H₂O₂ gas sensors.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Huening2012, author = {H{\"u}ning, Felix}, title = {PowerMOSFETs f{\"u}r Elektromotoren im Automobil : Vom Fensterheber zum EPS}, series = {Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug : Innovationen bei Systemen und Komponenten ; mit 7 Tabellen}, booktitle = {Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug : Innovationen bei Systemen und Komponenten ; mit 7 Tabellen}, editor = {Schmitz, G{\"u}nter}, publisher = {Expert Verlag}, address = {Renningen}, isbn = {978-3-8169-3110-2}, pages = {71 -- 81}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{Huening2012, author = {H{\"u}ning, Felix}, title = {Using Trench PowerMOSFETs in Linear Mode}, series = {Power Electronics Europe (2012)}, journal = {Power Electronics Europe (2012)}, publisher = {DFA Media}, address = {Tonbridge}, issn = {1748-3530}, pages = {27 -- 29}, year = {2012}, abstract = {If we think about applications for modern Power MOSFETs using trench technology, running them in linear mode may not be top of the priority list.
