An enzyme system organized in a flow device was used to mimic a reversible Controlled NOT (CNOT) gate with two input and two output signals. Reversible conversion of NAD⁺ and NADH cofactors was used to perform a XOR logic operation, while biocatalytic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate resulted in an Identity operation working in parallel. The first biomolecular realization of a CNOT gate is promising for integration into complex biomolecular networks and future biosensor/biomedical applications.
In any books about genetics it can still today be read that our genetic code is called “degenerate” because it is still believed that 43 = 64 triplets encode the 20 essential amino acids. Indeed we have to assume the inverse law, what means that 34 = 81 exact code positions are really effective for our genetic code and encode the amino acids, compiled to proteins. This very important discovery leads to two completely new results that are limits-overlooking: 1) 34 (=81) genetic code positions mean exactly the same number as there are stable and naturally existing chemical elements in our universe. This famous argument should now lead to some alternative, as well as new fundamental conclusions about our existence. 2) A genetic code positioning system shows that nature is much smarter than expected: mutations are made less dangerous than believed, because they won't be that easily able any more to cause severe damages in the protein-synthesis. This should also lead to some alternative views upon evolution of life.
Bacillus pumilus reveals a remarkably high resistance to hydrogen peroxide provoked oxidative stress
(2014)
Bacillus pumilus is characterized by a higher oxidative stress resistance than other comparable industrially relevant Bacilli such as B. subtilis or B. licheniformis. In this study the response of B. pumilus to oxidative stress was investigated during a treatment with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide at the proteome, transcriptome and metabolome level. Genes/proteins belonging to regulons, which are known to have important functions in the oxidative stress response of other organisms, were found to be upregulated, such as the Fur, Spx, SOS or CtsR regulon. Strikingly, parts of the fundamental PerR regulon responding to peroxide stress in B. subtilis are not encoded in the B. pumilus genome. Thus, B. pumilus misses the catalase KatA, the DNA-protection protein MrgA or the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase AhpCF. Data of this study suggests that the catalase KatX2 takes over the function of the missing KatA in the oxidative stress response of B. pumilus. The genome-wide expression analysis revealed an induction of bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-malate, BSH) relevant genes. An analysis of the intracellular metabolites detected high intracellular levels of this protective metabolite, which indicates the importance of bacillithiol in the peroxide stress resistance of B. pumilus.

In this study, a high-speed chemical imaging system was developed for visualization of the interior of a microfluidic channel. A microfluidic channel was constructed on the sensor surface of the light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), on which the ion concentrations could be measured in parallel at up to 64 points illuminated by optical fibers. The temporal change of pH distribution inside the microfluidic channel was recorded at a maximum rate of 100 frames per second (fps). The high frame rate allowed visualization of moving interfaces and plugs in the channel even at a flow velocity of 111 mm/s, which suggests the feasibility of plug-based microfluidic devices for flow-injection analysis (FIA).
Synthesis of derivatives of the peptide sequence L-pyroglutamyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-aspartyl-glycyl-L-lysyl-glycyl-glycyl-glycine as the antigenic determinant representing the N-terminal non-helical region of the α-2-chain of rabbit skin collagen, and conjugation to two different polypeptide carriers, are described.
Die tert.-Butyloxycarbonyl-Gruppe (Boc) läßt sich mittels reiner Trifluoressigsäure nicht selektiv neben dem Benzyloxycarbonyl-Rest (Z) abspalten. Das gelingt auch nicht mit Lösungen von Trifluoressigsäure bzw. Chlorwasserstoff in organischen Lösungsmitteln. Kern-substituierte Z-Gruppen wie Z(pCl), Z(mCl) oder Z(pNO₂) sind zwar stabiler, werden aber von den obengenannten Reagenzien ebenfalls angegriffen bzw. sind nicht mehr acidolytisch abspaltbar. – Mit 70proz. wäßriger Trifluoressigsäure gelingt die Abspaltung von Boc neben Z dagegen fast selektiv; dabei werden aber Benzylester, besonders Glutaminsäure-γ-benzylester, teilweise hydrolysiert, während Methyl- sowie Äthylester nahezu beständig sind. Die Brauchbarkeit des Abspaltungsverfahrens wird anhand der schrittweise durchgeführten Synthese zweier Heptapeptid-Derivate gezeigt. – Ähnlich spezifisch gelingt die Abspaltung von Boc mit Bortrifluorid-ätherat in Eisessig; Benzylester sind gegenüber diesem Reagenz stabiler als gegen wäßrige Trifluoressigsäure. Das Bortrifluorid-Verfahren eignet sich besonders für die Abspaltung von Boc-Gruppen neben säurelabilen Thiol-Schutzgruppen (Tetrahydropyranyl- bzw. Trityl-Rest) sowie neben dem Cyclocystinyl-Rest. Die Leistungsfähigkeit der Methode wird durch die Synthese zweier Peptid-Derivate mit S-Trityl-Schutzgruppen belegt. Als Nebenreaktion ist die Acetylierung von aliphatischen Hydroxylgruppen möglich. Sie läßt sich vermeiden, wenn man die Spaltung in anderen Lösungsmitteln durchführt. Die als Modellverbindungen für Stabilitätsuntersuchungen verwendeten Nε-acylierten Lysin-Derivate werden mit dem Aminosäureanalysator quantitativ neben Lysin bestimmt.
Es wird die Synthese der Sequenz A 6–9 des Schafinsulins in der geschützten Form Boc-Cys-Cys-Ala-Gly-OBuᵗ (5) sowie das Verhalten dieses monomeren cyclischen Cystinpeptidderivates gegenüber den in der Peptidchemie gebräuchlichen Reagenzien Bortrifluorid/Eisessig, Triäthylamin und Hydrazinhydrat beschrieben.
Die Darstellung der N-[2-(p-Biphenylyl)isopropyloxycarbonyl]-Derivate (Bpoc-Derivate) des Cysteins unter Verwendung der Thiolschutzgruppen Tetrahydropyranyl (Thp) für 1, Diphenylmethyl (Dpm) für 2, Trityl (Trt) für 3 und S-tert.-Butyl (SBut) für 4 sowie die Synthese von aktivierten Estern der Bpoc-Derivate des Glycins (5), Isoleucins (6) und Prolins (7) werden beschrieben. An einem Beispiel wird die Möglichkeit aufgezeigt, die Bpoc-Gruppe über das Bpoc-Azid nachträglich in den Peptidverband einzuführen.
Die Synthese der Sequenzen A2—21 (13) und A1—21 (15) der Schafinsulin-A-Kette als monomere cyclische Dicystinpeptidderivate wird beschrieben. Die intrachenaren Cystinbrücken A6—7 und A 11 —20 vermitteln die Löslichkeit dieser Derivate in Dimethylformamid und ermöglichen erstmalig die Reindarstellung vollgeschützter Insulin-A-Kettenderivate. Die während der Synthese eingesetzten Schutzgruppen lassen sich mittels Trifluoressigsäure und 2-Mercaptoäthanol quantitativ entfernen.

In this work the transient simulations of four hybrid solar tower power plant concepts with open-volumetric receiver technology for a location in Barstow-Daggett, USA, are presented. The open-volumetric receiver uses ambient air as heat transfer fluid and the hybridization is realized with a gas turbine. The Rankine cycle is heated by solar-heated air and/or by the gas turbine's flue gases. The plant can be operated in solar-only, hybrid parallel or combined cycle-only mode as well as in any intermediate load levels where the solar portion can vary between 0 to 100%.
The simulated plant is based on the configuration of a solar-hybrid power tower project, which is in planning for a site in Northern Algeria. The meteorological data for Barstow-Daggett was taken from the software meteonorm. The solar power tower simulation tool has been developed in the simulation environment MATLAB/Simulink and is validated.
This paper describes the modeling of a high-temperature storage system for an existing solar tower power plant with open volumetric receiver technology, which uses air as heat transfer medium (HTF). The storage system model has been developed in the simulation environment Matlab/Simulink®. The storage type under investigation is a packed bed thermal energy storage system which has the characteristics of a regenerator. Thermal energy can be stored and discharged as required via the HTF air. The air mass flow distribution is controlled by valves, and the mass flow by two blowers. The thermal storage operation strategy has a direct and significant impact on the energetic and economic efficiency of the solar tower power plants.
Selective laser melting of metals: desktop machines open up new chances even for small companies
(2012)
Additive manufacturing (AM) of metal parts by using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) has become a powerful tool mostly in the area of automotive, aerospace engineering and others. Especially in the field of dentistry, jewelry and related branches that require individualized or even one-of-a-kind products, the direct digital manufacturing process opens up new ways of design and manufacturing. In these fields, mostly small and medium sized businesses (SME) are operating which do not have sufficient human and economic resources to invest in this technology. But to stay competitive, the application of AM can be regarded as a necessity. In this situation a new desktop machine (Realizer SLM 50) was introduced that cost about 1/3 of a shop floor SLM machine and promises small quality parts. To find out whether the machine really is an alternative for SMEs the University of Applied Science, Aachen, Germany, designed, build and optimized typical parts from the dentistry and the jewelry branches using CoCr and silver material, the latter being new with this application. The paper describes the SLM procedure and how to find and optimize the most important parameters. The test is accompanied by digital simulation in order to verify the build parameters and to plan future builds. The procedure is shown as well as the resulting parts made from CoCr and silver material.
Optical coherence tomography : a potential tool to predict premature rupture of fetal membranes
(2013)
Since several decades, dam-break waves have been of main research interest. Mathematical approaches have been developed by analytical, physical and numerical models within the past 120 years. During the past 10 years, the number of research investigations has increased due to improved measurement techniques as well as significantly increased computer memories and performances. In this context, the present research deals with the initial stage of two-dimensional dam-break waves by comparing physical and numerical model results as well as analytical approaches. High-speed images and resulting particle image velocimetry calculations are thereby compared with the numerical volume-of-fluid (VOF) method, included in the commercial code FLOW-3D. Wave profiles and drag forces on placed obstacles are analysed in detail. Generally, a good agreement between the laboratory and VOF results is found.
Risk factors for cardiovascular calcifications in non-diabetic Caucasian haemodialysis patients
(2009)
In this study we observed courses of micturition symptoms and differentiated degrees of symptoms for each point in time while also considering the impact of bothersomeness. Our data show that not only significantly more patients who have undergone BT suffer from OAB than those who have undergone RP, but also that those affected show significantly higher values for severity of OAB symptoms throughout the whole observation period of 36 months. Our data analysis further shows that variability of OAB symptoms as well as fluctuation of severity of OAB symptoms vary to a significantly higher degree after BT than after RP. Looking only at mean figures at a given point in time clearly underestimates the underlying problem. This fact is not reflected in the literature.
