Fast Dynamic Synthesis of MIL-68(In) Thin Films in High Optical Quality for Optical Cavity Sensing (2022)

Fabrication of metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films rigidly anchored on suitable substrates is a crucial prerequisite for the integration of these porous hybrid materials into electronic and optical devices. Thus far, the structural variety for MOF thin films available through layer-by-layer deposition was limited, as the preparation of those surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) has several requirements: Mild conditions, low temperatures, day-long reaction times, and non-aggressive solvents. We herein present a fast method for the preparation of the first MIL SURMOF on Au-surfaces under rather harsh conditions: Using a dynamic layer-by-layer synthesis for MIL-68(In), thin films of adjustable thickness between 50-2000 nm could be deposited within only 60 min. The MIL-68(In) thin film growth was monitored in-situ using a quartz crystal microbalance. In-plane X-ray diffraction revealed oriented MIL-68(In) growth with the pore-channels of this interesting MOF aligned parallel to the support. SEM data demonstrated an extraordinarily low roughness of the MIL-68(In) thin films. Mechanical properties and lateral homogeneity of the layer were probed through nanoindentation. These thin films showed extremely high optical quality. By applying a PMMA layer and further depositing an Au-mirror to the top, a MOF optical cavity was fabricated that can be used as Fabry-Perot interferometer. The MIL-68(In)-based cavity showed a series of sharp resonances in the UV-Vis regime. Changes in the refractive index of MIL-68(In) caused by exposure to volatile compounds, led to pronounced position shifts of the resonances. Thus, these cavities are well suited to be used as optical read-out sensors.
Biaxially textured composite substrates (2023)

Single Crystal Growth of Nanoporous C12A7:e− by Controlling Melt State (2009)

It has been known that electron doped 12CaO x 7Al2O3 (C12A7:e-, electride) single crystals, which are composed of a closed-packed periodic quantum dot structure, may be prepared by strong reduction of the precursor C12A7:O2-, but direct single crystal growth of the C12A7:e- from the melt state has never been achieved to date. We report the melt state of polycrystalline electride in pure dry Ar atmosphere at temperatures of 1290 approximately 1500 degrees C, which leads to the direct single crystal growth of the C12A7:e- from the melt. The electride single crystals with a diameter of 7 mm and a length of 43 mm have been grown by a floating zone method, where a polycrystalline electride feed and an electride single crystal seed rod were employed. The electron concentration in the crystal increased up to approximately 1.0 x 10(20) cm(-3) as the growth proceeded. The present findings suggest that electron-entrapped local structure may exist in the melt and the electrons may act as a template for the formation of C12A7 electride in the solidification process of the C12A7 lattice.
Amino Acids Labeled with [<sup>99m</sup>Tc(CO)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>+</sup> and Recognized by the <scp>l</scp>-type Amino Acid Transporter LAT1 (2006)

We have synthesized amino acids conjugated at the alpha-carbon through an alkyl spacer to a small tripod ligand. The tripod coordinates to the fac-[M(CO)3]+ moiety (M = Re, 99mTc). Depending on the lengths of the spacers, these metal complexes with pendent alpha-amino acids are recognized and transported by the l-type amino acid transporter LAT1. The best result was achieved with a butyl spacer. The Ki value of the corresponding complex is comparable to that of the artificial amino acid BCH. Efflux of [3H]-l-phenylalanine shows that the labeled amino acids do not only bind to the transporter but are transported into the cells. These are the first metal-labeled small molecules which are actively internalized to the intracellular space.

Similarity search over graphs using localized spectral analysis (2017)

This paper provides a new similarity detection algorithm. Given an input set of multi-dimensional data points <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> and an additional reference data point for similarity finding, the algorithm uses kernel method that embeds the data points into a low dimensional manifold. Unlike other kernel methods, which considers the entire data for the embedding, our method selects a specific set of kernel eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are chosen to separate between the data points and the reference data point so that similar data points can be easily identified as being distinct from most of the members in the dataset.
Temperature-invariant photoelectron spectra in cerium heavy-fermion compounds: Inconsistencies with the Kondo model (1992)

4f levels in Ce heavy-fermion compounds are examined using resonant photoemission. We find the following inconsistencies with the predictions of the Kondo model: (a) All temperature dependence can be accounted for simply by phonon broadening and the Fermi function; (b) the spectral weights of the features near ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{F}}$ do not scale with ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{K}}$; and (c) the line shape of the feature previously identified as the Kondo resonance is Lorentzian and about an order of magnitude broader than predictions. Instrument resolution is not a limiting factor.
Copper-Catalyzed Defluorinative Borylation and Silylation of <i>gem</i>-Difluoroallyl Groups (2020)

Stereodefined (<i>Z</i>)-fluoroalkenes are bioisosteres of amides and synthetic precursors to value-added fluorinated compounds, but their stereoselective synthesis remains challenging. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed formal S<sub>N</sub>2' defluorinative borylation of 3-substituted 3,3-difluoropropenes to form 3-fluoroallylboronic esters in high yields with excellent <i>Z</i>/<i>E</i> ratios. The primary 3-fluoroallylboronic esters undergo several synthetic sequences involving S<sub>E</sub>2' substitutions, S<sub>N</sub>2' substitutions, and sigmatropic rearrangements to provide tertiary allylic fluorides.
Droplet formation and shrinking in aqueous two-phase systems using a membrane emulsification method (2015)

Using a membrane emulsification method based on porous hollow-fiber membranes in combination with an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), we are able to produce "water-in-water" droplets with narrow-dispersed size distributions. The equilibrium phases of the aqueous two-phase system polyethylene glycol-dipotassium hydrogen phosphate are used for this purpose. The droplet diameter of a given fluid system is determined by the flow rates of the continuous and disperse phase as well as the hollow fiber dimensions. When diluting the disperse phase and thus moving the ATPS system out of equilibrium, the droplet size can be further reduced in comparison to the equilibrium case. Generally, droplets formed with this method have diameters 20%-60% larger than the inner hollow fiber diameter. The new strategy of diluting the disperse phase allows the production of droplet diameter below the inner diameter of the membrane.

Bacillus barbaricus sp. nov., isolated from an experimental wall painting (2003)

In a project concerning bacterial colonization of experimental wall paintings, a large number of isolates have been acquired with high similarities in their whole-cell protein patterns obtained after SDS-PAGE. Of this group, four strains, designated V2-BIII-A2(T), V2-BI-A9, V2-BI-04 and V2-BII-A8, were chosen for further characterization. Banding patterns obtained after ERIC-PCR were barely distinguishable among these four strains, indicating their affiliation within a single species. The isolates also displayed nearly identical biochemical and physiological features. The chemotaxonomic characteristics, including polar lipids, quinone systems, cell-wall diamino acid composition and fatty acid profiles, were in good agreement with those of numerous previously described Bacillus species. 16S rDNA analysis of strain V2-BIII-A2(T) showed that this bacterium belongs to the genus Bacillus, with highest sequence similarities to Bacillus megaterium (94.6%), Bacillus flexus (94.4%) and the alkaliphilic Bacillus cohnii (94.2%). Based on almost identical biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic traits, ERIC-PCR-generated genomic fingerprints and comparative 16S rDNA sequence analysis, it is demonstrated that the four isolates represent a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus barbaricus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is V2-BIII-A2(T) (= CCM 4982(T) = DSM 14730(T)).
Ultra-soft and highly stretchable tissue-adhesive hydrogel based multifunctional implantable sensor for monitoring of overactive bladder (2023)

A highly stretchable and tissue-adhesive multifunctional sensor based on structurally engineered islets embedded in ultra-soft hydrogel is reported for monitoring of bladder activity in overactive bladder (OAB) induced rat and anesthetized pig. The use of hydrogel yielded a much lower sensor modulus (1 kPa) compared to that of the bladder (300 kPa), while the strong adhesiveness of the hydrogel (adhesive strength: 260.86 N/m) allowed firm attachment onto the bladder. The change in resistance of printed liquid metal particle thin-film lines under strain were used to detect bladder inflation and deflation; due to the high stretchability and reliability of the lines, surface strains of 200% could be measured repeatedly. Au electrodes coated with Platinum black were used to detect electromyography (EMG). These electrodes were placed on structurally engineered rigid islets so that no interfacial fracture occurs under high strains associated with bladder expansion. On the OAB induced rat, stronger signals (change in resistance and EMG root-mean-square) were detected near intra-bladder pressure maxima, thus showing correlation to bladder activity. Moreover, using robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, the sensor was placed onto the bladder of an anesthetized pig. Under voiding and filling, bladder strain and EMG were once again monitored. These results confirm that our proposed sensor is a highly feasible, clinically relevant implantable device for continuous monitoring OAB for diagnosis and treatment.
Reduction in serum cholesterol with pravastatin improves endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion in patients with hypercholesterolemia. (1994)

These results suggest that cholesterol-lowering therapy with pravastatin may improve endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion, which may possibly contribute to the improvement of myocardial perfusion as well as the regression of coronary atherosclerosis.
Electrical Characterization of ALD Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and HfO<sub>2</sub> Films on Germanium (2010)

Al 2 O 3 and HfO 2 films were deposited on germanium substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and analyzed by MOS capacitor electrical characterization. In-situ plasma nitridation performed prior to ALD was found to improve the stability of the interface. For Al 2 O 3 /GeON/Ge capacitors, a 450°C anneal in nitrogen ambient reduced hysteresis and oxide fixed charge to 90 mV and 10 12 cm -2 respectively, with low leakage current density. On the contrary, degradation was observed for un-nitrided Al 2 O 3 /Ge capacitors after 300 and 400°C post-metal anneals. HfO 2 /GeON/Ge capacitors benefitted from a 400°C densification anneal but exhibited degradation after post-metal anneals at temperatures greater than 300°C. This degradation is attributed to the influence of Al electrodes on the HfO 2 gate stack. HfO 2 is considered to be a suitable material for the gate stack and Al 2 O 3 for the buried dielectric in a GeOI structure.

Azimuth falloff effects in two-antenna SAR measurements of ocean wave spectra (1996)

Estimates of ocean wave spectra obtained from conventional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images suffer from the azimuth falloff effect which limits the range of azimuth wavenumbers that can be observed by such systems. This effect was earlier predicted to be modified by the use of a second receive antenna which is displaced from the first in the along-track direction. The authors present experimental evidence which is consistent with these theoretical predictions and suggests that the azimuth falloff limitations inherent in conventional SAR systems can be overcome by the use of two or more appropriately spaced antennas.

Percutaneous aortic valve therapy: clinical experience and the role of multi-modality imaging (2009)

Degenerative aortic stenosis accounts for the majority of native valve disease.1 Surgical aortic valve replacement is a treatment option that provides good outcome in the majority of the patients, with good durability of the prosthetic valve.w1 However, a large proportion of patients with severe aortic stenosis are not referred for, or denied, surgery. The Euro Heart Survey on valvular heart disease demonstrated that up to 33% of the patients with severe aortic stenosis did not undergo surgery, although there was an indication.2 Patient’s age and (multiple) comorbidities were the main reasons for denial of surgery.w2 Therefore, there is a need for a less invasive treatment option in older patients with severe aortic stenosis.

In the past few years, new percutaneous aortic valve implantation procedures have been introduced.w3 Two different types of percutaneous aortic valve prostheses now have approval in Europe. In addition, European3 and American4 5 recommendations on percutaneous aortic valve implantation have been published.

In this article, the clinical experience with the two different percutaneous aortic valves will be reviewed. In addition, the role of different imaging modalities in the selection of patients, guidance during percutaneous aortic valve implantation, and follow-up will be discussed.

Currently, two different types of percutaneous aortic valve devices are commercially available. The balloon expandable Edwards SAPIEN valve (Edwards Lifesciences Inc, Irvine, California, USA) and the self expanding CoreValve Revalving prosthesis (CoreValve Inc, Irvine, California, USA). At present, more than 2500 patients worldwide have been treated with percutaneous aortic valve implantation, and the number of studies reporting the clinical experience and results with percutaneous aortic valve procedures is rapidly growing (table 1). In the following paragraphs, technical aspects of the different prostheses and clinical experience with percutaneous aortic valve implantations will be reviewed.

A passive opto-electronic lightning sensor based on electromagnetic field detection for utilities applications (2010)

This paper presents the results of a passive optical lightning sensor for utilities applications. The main sensor application is for the location of lightning strikes in overhead power lines, but it can also be used in substations or in power generation plants. The proposed sensor detects lightning indirectly by means of detecting lightning electromagnetic pulses, which are used to modulate directly a semiconductor laser coupled to a fibre optic pigtail. No solar panels, batteries or electronic control circuits are necessary to implement this sensing technique. This paper shows the results of the sensor characterization made only in laboratory and the possibilities of its use in an optical WDM sensor network.

Near-Shape Manufacturing of Ceramics and Glasses by Electrophoretic Deposition Using Nanosized Powders (2008)

Reducing the shrinkage during sintering is the key factor to enable near-shape manufacturing of complex ceramics or silica glasses. This can be achieved by increasing the green density of the green bodies up to very high values. A linear shrinkage during sintering of e.g. only 7 % can be reached, if a green body has a density of 80 %TD. One possible route to reach such high green densities is to use mixtures of powders with significantly different particle size distribution, such as nanosized particles and particles with a maximum of size distribution in the micrometer range. In this case, comparatively high green strength is achieved because the nano-particles act as an inorganic binder phase. Since deposition rate is independent from particle size, mixtures of nanosized and larger powders can be shaped by electrophoretic deposition without any size-dependent separation. Different complex shapes as well as structured components were electrophoretically deposited from aqueous suspensions of mixtures of nanosized and bigger powders of silica and zirconia. by optimizing size distribution homogeneous green bodies with a density up to 84 %TD were obtained, which showed a comparably low (linear) shrinkage during sintering of less than 8 %. Thus, near-shape manufacturing of complex and structured ceramic and glass components becomes possible.

Relaxin Modulates Proinflammatory Cytokine Secretion from Human Decidual Macrophages1 (2011)

Relaxin (RLN) is a systemic hormone from the corpus luteum, and its levels remain low during normal human gestation. Indeed, elevation of circulating RLN has long been associated with preterm birth, for which there has been no physiological explanation. Recent studies have shown that RLN suppresses endotoxin-induced cytokine secretion from THP-1 monocytic cells by acting on the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), but its effects on primary macrophages are unknown. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the effects of RLN on cytokine secretion from primary decidual macrophages (DMs) obtained at term before labor. Unlike THP-1 cells, RLN had no effects on the cytokine responses induced by either lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin (IL) 1B, mimicking infection-induced or sterile inflammation, respectively. However, RLN alone for 4 h significantly decreased (P < 0.05) colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2; also known as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) and IL8 but for 24 h significantly increased IL6 (P < 0.01). We show that DMs express both the RLN receptor (RXFP1) and the GR. RLN suppression of CSF2 and IL8 was sensitive to the GR-antagonist mifepristone (RU-486). However, RLN activation of RXFP1 induced a dose-dependent cAMP response, which when mimicked by forskolin also caused significantly increased (P < 0.05) secretion of IL6. Thus, RLN may be anti-inflammatory in DMs via activation of the GR but proinflammatory via activation of RXFP1 and cAMP. In summary, we have shown that RLN targeting DMs may modulate proinflammatory cytokine secretion at the maternal-fetal interface and contribute to the localized inflammatory response associated with parturition in women.
