The herein presented CellDrum technology for testing mechanical tension of cellular monolayers and thin tissue constructs has the potential to scale-up mechanical testing towards medium-throughput analyses. Using hiPS-Cardiac Myocytes (hiPS-CMs) it represents a new perspective of drug testing and brings us closer to personalized drug medication. Methods: In the present study, monolayers of self-beating hiPS-CMs were grown on ultra-thin circular silicone membranes and deflect under the weight of the culture medium. Rhythmic contractions of the hiPS-CMs induced variations of the membrane deflection. The recorded contraction-relaxation-cycles were analyzed with respect to their amplitudes, durations, time integrals and frequencies. Besides unstimulated force and tensile stress, we investigated the effects of agonists and antagonists acting on Ca²⁺ channels (S-Bay K8644/verapamil) and Na⁺ channels (veratridine/lidocaine). Results: The measured data and simulations for pharmacologically unstimulated contraction resembled findings in native human heart tissue, while the pharmacological dose-response curves were highly accurate and consistent with reference data. Conclusion: We conclude that the combination of the CellDrum with hiPS-CMs offers a fast, facile and precise system for pharmacological, toxicological studies and offers new preclinical basic research potential.

Two main operations in mathematical morphology are dilation and erosion. These are based on the construction of a supremum or infimum with respect to an order over the tonal range in a certain section of the image. The tonal ordering can easily be realised in grey-scale morphology, and some morphological methods have been proposed for colour morphology. However, all of these have certain limitations. In this paper we present a novel approach to colour morphology extending upon previous work in the field based on the Loewner order. We propose to consider an approximation of the supremum by means of a log-sum exponentiation introduced by Maslov. We apply this to the embedding of an RGB image in a field of symmetric 2x2 matrices. In this way we obtain nearly isotropic matrices representing colours and the structural advantage of transitivity. In numerical experiments we highlight some remarkable properties of the proposed approach.

T1 - Nutzung von Silage zur fermentativen Produktion von Grund-und Feinchemikalien T2 - Chemie Ingenieur Technik N2 - Grasschnitt hat in Deutschland ein beträchtliches Potenzial als nachwachsender Rohstoff. Da frischer Grasschnitt nur in den Sommermonaten zur Verfügung steht und Gras bei der Lagerung verrottet, wird er unter anderem durch Silierung konserviert. Während der Silierung wird ein Teil der wasserlöslichen Kohlenhydrate unter anaeroben Bedingungen zu Milchsäure fermentiert. Die Kombination aus Luftabschluss und Ansäuerung bewirkt die Konservierung der Silage. Silage als weit verbreitetes landwirtschaftliches Erzeugnis ist somit ein potentieller, in großen Mengen verfügbarer Lieferant für eine Vielzahl von Substraten für mikrobielle Fermentationen. Diese können entweder durch die Hydrolyse der in den Pflanzen enthaltenen Cellulosen und Hemicellulosen oder durch die Verwendung eines Silagepresssaftes nutzbar gemacht werden. Die zu entwickelnden Prozesse sollen die verbleibenden Kohlenhydrate, inklusive der Cellulose und Hemicellulose, sowie die Milchsäure nutzen. Die in der Silage enthaltenen Zucker sollen zu Ethanol, Itakonsäure und Bernsteinsäure und die Milchsäure zu 1,2-Propandiol umgesetzt werden. Anfallende Reststoffe wie Hydrolyserückstände, Presskuchen und Fermentationsrückstände sollen bei allen zu etablierenden Prozessen entweder als Viehfutter verwendet oder der Biogasproduktion zugeführt werden können, wodurch eine vollständige stoffliche und energetische Nutzung der Silage erreicht wird.

Under the heading of “Diversity Management”, anti-bias trainings are mainly offered as one-off workshops intending to raise awareness of unconscious biases, create a diversity-affirming corporate culture, awake awareness of the potential of diversity, and ultimately enable the reflection of diversity in development processes. However, coming from childhood education, research and scientific articles on the sustainable effectiveness of anti-bias in adulthood, especially in academia, are very scarce. In order to fill this research gap, the paper explores how sustainable the effects of individual anti-bias trainings on the behavior of participants are. In order to investigate this, participant observation in a qualitative pre-post setting was conducted, analyzing anti-bias trainings in an academic context. Two observers actively participated in the training sessions and documented the activities and reflection processes of the participants. Overall, the results question the effectiveness of single anti-bias trainings and show that a target-group adaptive approach is mandatory due to the background of the approach in early childhood education. Therefore, it can be concluded that anti-bias work needs to be adapted to the target group’s needs and reality of life. Furthermore, the study reveals that single anti-bias trainings must be embedded in a holistic diversity management approach to stimulate sustainable reflection processes among the target group. This paper is one of the first to scientifically evaluate anti-bias training effectiveness, especially in engineering sciences and the university context.

To assess the sterilization efficiency with H₂O₂, bacterial spores are common microbial systems due to their remarkable robustness against a wide variety of decontamination strategies. Despite their widespread use, there is, however, only little information about the detailed time-resolved mechanism underlying the oxidative spore death by H₂O₂. In this work, we investigate chemical and morphological changes of individual Bacillus atrophaeus spores undergoing oxidative damage using optical sensing with trapping Raman microscopy in real-time. The time-resolved experiments reveal that spore death involves two distinct phases: (i) an initial phase dominated by the fast release of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a major spore biomarker, which indicates the rupture of the spore’s core; and (ii) the oxidation of the remaining spore material resulting in the subsequent fragmentation of the spores’ coat. Simultaneous observation of the spore morphology by optical microscopy corroborates these mechanisms. The dependence of the onset of DPA release and the time constant of spore fragmentation on H₂O₂ shows that the formation of reactive oxygen species from H₂O₂ is the rate-limiting factor of oxidative spore death.
