Fluorescenzserologischer Nachweis eines in Syphilitikerseren vorkommenden Antik�rpers gegen ein hitzestabiles Antigen der Reiter-Treponemen
1967
An insgesamt 88 Syphilitikerseren wurde der FTA-Test mit erhitzten Reiter-Treponemen durchgefuhrt. 71 mal reagierte die Serumverdunnung von 1∶100, in 53 Fallen eine solche von 1∶500 positiv. Von 53 Kontrollseren waren nur 2 bei der Verdunnung von 1∶100 positiv. Hieraus wird auf das Vorkommen eines hitzestabilen gemeinsamen Gruppen-Antigens in Reiter-Treponemen und T. pallidum geschlossen. Die Zugehorigkeit dieses Antigens zu den Lipopolysacchariden wird diskutiert. Menschliche Antikorper gegen dieses Antigen sind vorerst nur fluorescenzserologisch nachzuweisen.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Oenococcus oeni immobilized in different layers of a cellulose/starch gel composite for simultaneous alcoholic and malol…
2013
Abstract The production of a two-layer composite biocatalyst for immobilization of two different microorganisms for simultaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation (MLF) of wine in the same bioreactor is reported. The biocatalyst consisted of a tubular delignified cellulosic material (DCM) with entrapped Oenococcus oeni cells, covered with starch gel containing the alcohol resistant and cryotolerant strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae AXAZ-1. The biocatalyst was found effective for simultaneous low temperature alcoholic fermentation resulting to conversion of malic acid to lactic acid in 5 days at 10 °C. Improvement of wine quality compared with wine fermented with S. cerevisiae AXAZ-1 immob…
How was the Turin Shroud Man crucified?
2014
As the literature is not exhaustive with reference to the way the Turin Shroud (TS) Man was crucified, and it is not easy to draw significant information from only a "photograph" of a man on a linen sheet, this study tries to add some detail on this issue based on both image processing of high resolution photos of the TS and on experimental tests on arms and legs of human cadavers. With regard to the TS Man hands, a first hypothesis states that the left hand of the TS Man was nailed twice at two different anatomical sites: the midcarpal joint medially to the pisiform between the lunate/pyramidal and capitate/uncinate bones (Destot's space) and the radiocarpal joint between the radio, lunate…
Fabrication and characterisation of ZnO nanostructures: from nanoscale building blocks to hybrid nanomaterials - towards emerging technologies in sen…
2012
Metal oxide nanostructures characterized by multiple morphologies and structures are at the forefront of applications driven nanotechnology research. In particular, they represent a versatile solution for performance enhancement and applications in multifunctional devices and offer distinct advantages over their bulk counterparts. The current state in ZnO nanomaterials research and its impact in nanotechnology and modern engineering are discussed through the lens of con-tinuing technological advances in synthetic techniques allowing to obtain the material with predefined specific set of criteria including size, functionality, and uniqueness. Aim of this research activity is fabrication and …
ChemInform Abstract: Enhanced Activity and Stereoselectivity of Polystyrene-Supported Proline-Based Organic Catalysts for Direct Asymmetric Aldol Rea…
2010
Several polystyrene-supported proline dipeptides and a prolinamide derivative were prepared by thiol–ene coupling. These materials were used as catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water, and results compared with unsupported catalysts in water. Such an approach gave more active or stereoselective catalysts compared to the unsupported compounds, showing that our immobilization procedure may be useful to develop catalytic materials with enhanced performance. Moreover, these catalysts can be recovered and reused for at least nine times without loss of activity or can be easily regenerated when their activity has decreased. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

DNA-based applications in molecular electronics
2011
This thesis is mainly focused on DNA molecules and especially on self-assembled DNA constructs and their potential applications in nanotechnology and molecular electronics. In the field of molecular electronics the conductivity of DNA is a crucial - yet open - question, and it is of great concern, since DNA is a very promising molecule in a context of bottom-up based nanodevices due to its superior selfassembly characteristics. A key tool in all the experiments presented in this thesis is a dielectrophoretic trapping technique, which was exploited in spatial manipulation of individualDNA molecules, DNA constructs and also semiconducting quantum dots. In the case of DNA, the technique provid…
Nanodevices by DNA based gold nanostructures
2017
In this thesis DNA based structures were utilized to create gold nanostructures for nanosensing and nanoelectronic applications. In the past, both of these fields have been dominated by the conventional lithography methods, e.g., electron beam lithography and UV-lithography, but more recently scaling down the components by these techniques has become increasingly more complex and costly. Especially in the micro- and nanoelectronics, the increase in the component density and thus computational power would require fabrication of sub-10-nm components, which is challenging for the top-down approaches. Aforementioned developments have led researchers to seek alternative methods to fabricate these…
Biomimetic strategy towards gelatin coatings on PET. Effect of protocol on coating stability and cell-interactive properties
2019
Gelatin-modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surfaces have been previously realized via an intermediate dopamine coating procedure that resulted in surfaces with superior haemocompatibility compared to unfunctionalized PET. The present study addresses the biocompatibility assessment of these coated PET surfaces. In this context, the stability of the gelatin coating upon exposure to physiological conditions and its cell-interactive properties were investigated. The proposed gelatin–dopamine-PET surfaces showed an increased protein coating stability up to 24 days and promoted the attachment and spreading of both endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). In parallel, physi…
Optymalizacja procesu immobilizacji komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae w żelu alginianowym
2016
Celem prezentowanych badań była ocena wpływu dwuwartościowych kationów wapnia, magnezu i baru, na zdolność sieciowania żelu alginianowego, stosowanego do unieruchamiania komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oraz oznaczenie aktywności enzymatycznej dehydrogenazy bursztynianowej w immobilizowanych komórkach. Do immobilizacji komórek Saccharomyces cerevisiae wykorzystywano zawiesinę komórek drożdży w alginianie sodu, który następnie żelowano roztworami chlorku wapnia (2, 5, 10 i 30%), chlorku baru (1, 2, 3, 4 i 5%) oraz chlorku magnezu (5%). Aktywność dehydrogenazy bursztynianowej badano spektrofotometrycznie i mierzono za pomocą ilości zredukowanego błękitu metylenowego (sztuczny akceptor elektr…
Opracowanie metody oraz optymalizacja warunków immobilizacji inwertazy drożdżowej w żelu alginianowym
2016
Zbadano wpływ różnych stężeń chlorku wapnia oraz czasu kondycjonowania inwertazy drożdżowej (EC 3.2.1.26) izolowanej z drożdży piekarniczych Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilizowanej w żelu alginianowym. Z wykorzystanych w badaniach różnych stężeń chlorku wapnia (2, 5, 10 i 30%) najwyższą aktywność enzymatyczną uzyskano dla najwyższego wykorzystanego stężenia. Wykazano, że czas 15 minut kondycjonowania żelu alginianowego w chlorku wapnia prowadzi do najefektywniejszego immobilizowania inwertazy. Dodatkowo oceniono wpływ immobilizacji inwertazy drożdżowej na jej aktywność w odniesieniu do wolnej formy tego enzymu w szerokim zakresie pH (3,5; 4,0; 4,5; 5,0; 5,5; 6,0; 6,5) oraz temperatury (21,…
