TY - CHAP A1 - Staat, Manfred A1 - Sponagel, Stefan A1 - Nguyen, Nhu Huynh T1 - Experiment and material model for soft tissue materials T2 - Constitutive models for rubber VI N2 - Biomechanics studies biological soft tissue materials (growth, remodeling) in vivo. For this objective, the detailed information of material properties must be well defined to construct reliable constitutive models. In the paper, the bulge test is carried out with elastomers in order to develop a test method. Then, application of the test for soft tissue materials is straightforward due to the similarities between elastomers with soft tissue materials as proved in Holzapfel 2005, Ogden 2009. It means, after the preliminary experiments and parameter identification with rubber materials has been setup, experiments on soft tissue materials can be similarly carried out. Elastomers have a complex behavior which strongly depends on the largest previous load cycle. For simplicity we consider only the first loading.

Technical challenges in development of such systems are numerous and include 3D-navigation, an appropriate energy source, motion control, etc. Not less important is the problem of forward contamination of the pristine glacial environments with microorganisms and biomolecules from the surface of the probe. This study was devoted to establishing a laboratory model for microbial contamination of a newly constructed ice-melting probe called IceMole and to analyse the viability and amount of the contaminating microorganisms as a function of distance. The used bacterial strains were Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 11775). The main objective was development of an efficient and reliable in-situ decontamination method of the melting probe. Therefore, several chemical substances were tested in respect of their efficacy to eliminate bacteria on the surface of the melting probe at low temperature (0 - 5 °C) and at continuous dilution by melted water. Our study has shown that at least 99.9% decontamination of the IceMole can be successfully achieved by the injection of 30% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide and 3% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite into the drilling site. We were able to reproduce this result in both time-dependent and depth-dependent experiments. The sufficient amount of 30% (v/v) H₂O₂ or 3% (v/v) NaClO has been found to be approximately 18 L per cm² of the probe’s surface.

The reason for the formation of urinary stones are little crystals, mostly composed of calcium oxalate, which are formed in human kidneys. The early diagnosis of the risk for urinary stone formation of patients can be determined by the “Bonn-Risk-Index” method based on the potentiometric detection of the Ca2+-ion concentration and an optical determination of the triggered crystallisation of calcium oxalate in unprocessed urine. In this work, miniaturised capacitive field-effect EMIS (electrolyte-membrane-insulator-semiconductor) sensors have been developed for the determination of the Ca2+-ion concentration in human native urine. The Ca2+-sensitive EMIS sensors have been systematically characterised by impedance spectroscopy, capacitance–voltage and constant–capacitance method in terms of sensitivity, signal stability and response time in both CaCl2 solutions and in native urine. The obtained results demonstrate the suitability of EMIS sensors for the measurement of the Ca2+-ion concentration in native urine of patients.

The light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) can be used as a platform to investigate the sensitivity of a newly developed interface towards (bio-)chemical agents. LAPS measurements are spatially resolved by utilisation of focused light beams to define individual measurement spots. In this work, a new digitally modulated LAPS set-up based on an FPGA design will be introduced to increase the number of measurement spots, to shorten the measurement time and to improve the measurement accuracy.

JF - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science N2 - We consider recent reports on small-world topologies of interaction networks derived from the dynamics of spatially extended systems that are investigated in diverse scientific fields such as neurosciences, geophysics, or meteorology. With numerical simulations that mimic typical experimental situations, we have identified an important constraint when characterizing such networks: indications of a small-world topology can be expected solely due to the spatial sampling of the system along with the commonly used time series analysis based approaches to network characterization.

In this process, the germicidal efficiency of the vapour depends especially on the H₂O₂ concentration. To monitor the H₂O₂ concentration, a calorimetric H₂O₂ gas sensor based on a catalytically activated thin-film thermopile is investigated. Two different sensor layouts, namely a circular and a linear form, as well as two various material pairs such as tungsten/nickel and gold/nickel, have been examined for the realization of a thin-film thermopile. Additionally, manganese oxide and palladium particles have been compared as responsive catalysts towards H₂O₂. The thin-film sensors have been investigated at various H₂O₂ concentrations, gas temperatures and flow rates.
