Lignocellulose feedstock (LCF) provides a sustainable source of components to produce bioenergy, biofuel, and novel biomaterials. Besides hard and soft wood, so-called low-input plants such as Miscanthus are interesting crops to be investigated as potential feedstock for the second generation biorefinery. The status quo regarding the availability and composition of different plants, including grasses and fast-growing trees (i.e., Miscanthus, Paulownia), is reviewed here. The second focus of this review is the potential of multivariate data processing to be used for biomass analysis and quality control. Experimental data obtained by spectroscopic methods, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), can be processed using computational techniques to characterize the 3D structure and energetic properties of the feedstock building blocks, including complex linkages. Here, we provide a brief summary of recently reported experimental data for structural analysis of LCF biomasses, and give our perspectives on the role of chemometrics in understanding and elucidating on LCF composition and lignin 3D structure.
The antiradical and antimicrobial activity of lignin and lignin-based films are both of great interest for applications such as food packaging additives. The polyphenolic structure of lignin in addition to the presence of O-containing functional groups is potentially responsible for these activities. This study used DPPH assays to discuss the antiradical activity of HPMC/lignin and HPMC/lignin/chitosan films. The scavenging activity (SA) of both binary (HPMC/lignin) and ternary (HPMC/lignin/chitosan) systems was affected by the percentage of the added lignin: the 5% addition showed the highest activity and the 30% addition had the lowest. Both scavenging activity and antimicrobial activity are dependent on the biomass source showing the following trend: organosolv of softwood > kraft of softwood > organosolv of grass. Testing the antimicrobial activities of lignins and lignin-containing films showed high antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria at 35 °C and at low temperatures (0-7 °C). Purification of kraft lignin has a negative effect on the antimicrobial activity while storage has positive effect. The lignin release in the produced films affected the activity positively and the chitosan addition enhances the activity even more for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Testing the films against spoilage bacteria that grow at low temperatures revealed the activity of the 30% addition on HPMC/L1 film against both B. thermosphacta and P. fluorescens while L5 was active only against B. thermosphacta. In HPMC/lignin/chitosan films, the 5% addition exhibited activity against both B. thermosphacta and P. fluorescens.
Incoming solar radiation is an important driver of our climate and weather. Several studies (see for instance Frank et al. 2018) have revealed discrepancies between ground-based irradiance measurements and the predictions of regional weather models. In the realm of electricity generation, accurate forecasts of solar photovoltaic (PV)energy yield are becoming indispensable for cost-effective grid operation: in Germany there are 1.6 million PVsystems installed, with a nominal power of 46 GW (Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft 2019). The proliferation of PV systems provides a unique opportunity to characterise global irradiance with unprecedented spatiotemporalresolution, which in turn will allow for highly resolved PV power forecasts.
Miscanthus x giganteus Stem Versus Leaf-Derived Lignins Differing in Monolignol Ratio and Linkage
(2019)
As a renewable, Miscanthus offers numerous advantages such as high photosynthesis activity (as a C4 plant) and an exceptional CO2 fixation rate. These properties make Miscanthus very attractive for industrial exploitation, such as lignin generation. In this paper, we present a systematic study analyzing the correlation of the lignin structure with the Miscanthus genotype and plant portion (stem versus leaf). Specifically, the ratio of the three monolignols and corresponding building blocks as well as the linkages formed between the units have been studied. The lignin amount has been determined for M. x giganteus (Gig17, Gig34, Gig35), M. nagara (NagG10), M. sinensis (Sin2), and M. robustus (Rob4) harvested at different time points (September, December, and April). The influence of the Miscanthus genotype and plant component (leaf vs. stem) has been studied to develop corresponding structure-property relationships (i.e., correlations in molecular weight, polydispersity, and decomposition temperature). Lignin isolation was performed using non-catalyzed organosolv pulping and the structure analysis includes compositional analysis, Fourier transform infradred (FTIR), ultraviolet/visible (UV-Vis), hetero-nuclear single quantum correlation nuclear magnetic resonsnce (HSQC-NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and pyrolysis gaschromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Structural differences were found for stem and leaf-derived lignins. Compared to beech wood lignins, Miscanthus lignins possess lower molecular weight and narrow polydispersities (<1.5 Miscanthus vs. >2.5 beech) corresponding to improved homogeneity. In addition to conventional univariate analysis of FTIR spectra, multivariate chemometrics revealed distinct differences for aromatic in-plane deformations of stem versus leaf-derived lignins. These results emphasize the potential of Miscanthus as a low-input resource and a Miscanthus-derived lignin as promising agricultural feedstock.
Bond graph software can simulate bond graph models without the user needing to manually derive equations. This offers the power to model larger and more complex systems than in the past. Multibond graphs (those with vector bonds) offer a compact model which further eases handling multibody systems. Although multibond graphs can be simulated successfully, the use of vector bonds can present difficulties. In addition, most qualitative, bond graph–based exploitation relies on the use of scalar bonds. This article discusses the main methods for simulating bond graphs of multibody systems, using a graphical software platform. The transformation between models with vector and scalar bonds is presented. The methods are then compared with respect to both time and accuracy, through simulation of two benchmark models. This article is a tutorial on the existing methods for simulating three-dimensional rigid and holonomic multibody systems using bond graphs and discusses the difficulties encountered. It then proposes and adapts methods for simulating this type of system directly from its bond graph within a software package. The value of this study is in giving practical guidance to modellers, so that they can implement the adapted method in software.
Intact Transition Epitope Mapping - Targeted High-Energy Rupture of Extracted Epitopes (ITEM-THREE)
(2019)
Epitope mapping, which is the identification of antigenic determinants, is essential for the design of novel antibody-based therapeutics and diagnostic tools. ITEM-THREE is a mass spectrometry-based epitope mapping method that can identify epitopes on antigens upon generating an immune complex in electrospray-compatible solutions by adding an antibody of interest to a mixture of peptides from which at least one holds the antibody's epitope. This mixture is nano-electrosprayed without purification. Identification of the epitope peptide is performed within a mass spectrometer that provides an ion mobility cell sandwiched in-between two collision cells and where this ion manipulation setup is flanked by a quadrupole mass analyzer on one side and a time-of-flight mass analyzer on the other side. In a stepwise fashion, immune-complex ions are separated from unbound peptide ions and dissociated to release epitope peptide ions. Immune complex-released peptide ions are separated from antibody ions and fragmented by collision induced dissociation. Epitope-containing peptide fragment ions are recorded, and mass lists are submitted to unsupervised data base search thereby retrieving both, the amino acid sequence of the epitope peptide and the originating antigen. ITEM-THREE was developed with antiTRIM21 and antiRA33 antibodies for which the epitopes were known, subjecting them to mixtures of synthetic peptides of which one contained the respective epitope. ITEM-THREE was then successfully tested with an enzymatic digest of His-tagged recombinant human β-actin and an antiHis-tag antibody, as well as with an enzymatic digest of recombinant human TNFα and an antiTNFα antibody whose epitope was previously unknown.
Multi-robot systems (MRS) are capable of performing a set of tasks by dividing them among the robots in the fleet. One of the challenges of working with multirobot systems is deciding which robot should execute each task. Multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) algorithms address this problem by explicitly assigning tasks to robots with the goal of maximizing the overall performance of the system. The indoor transportation of goods is a practical application of multi-robot systems in the area of logistics. The ROPOD project works on developing multi-robot system solutions for logistics in hospital facilities. The correct selection of an MRTA algorithm is crucial for enhancing transportation tasks. Several multi-robot task allocation algorithms exist in the literature, but just few experimental comparative analysis have been performed. This project analyzes and assesses the performance of MRTA algorithms for allocating supply cart transportation tasks to a fleet of robots. We conducted a qualitative analysis of MRTA algorithms, selected the most suitable ones based on the ROPOD requirements, implemented four of them (MURDOCH, SSI, TeSSI, and TeSSIduo), and evaluated the quality of their allocations using a common experimental setup and 10 experiments. Our experiments include off-line and semi on-line allocation of tasks as well as scalability tests and use virtual robots implemented as Docker containers. This design should facilitate deployment of the system on the physical robots. Our experiments conclude that TeSSI and TeSSIduo suit best the ROPOD requirements. Both use temporal constraints to build task schedules and run in polynomial time, which allow them to scale well with the number of tasks and robots. TeSSI distributes the tasks among more robots in the fleet, while TeSSIduo tends to use a lower percentage of the available robots.
Subsequently, we have integrated TeSSI and TeSSIduo to perform multi-robot task allocation for the ROPOD project.
Die Wahrnehmung des perzeptionellen Aufrecht (perceptual upright, PU) variiert in Abhängigkeit der Gewichtung verschiedener gravitationsbezogener und körperbasierter Merkmale zwischen Kontexten und aufgrund individueller Unterschiede. Ziel des Vorhabens war es, systematisch zu untersuchen, welche Zusammenhänge zwischen visuellen und gravitationsbedingten Merkmalen bestehen. Das Vorhaben baute auf vorangegangen Untersuchungen auf, deren Ergebnisse indizieren, dass eine Gravitation von ca. 0,15g notwendig ist, um effiziente Selbstorientierungsinformationen bereit zu stellen (Herpers et. al, 2015; Harris et. al, 2014).
In dem hier beschriebenen Vorhaben wurden nun gezielt künstliche Gravitationsbedingungen berücksichtigt, um die Gravitationsschwelle, ab der ein wahrnehmbarer Einfluss beobachtbar ist, genauer zu quantifizieren bzw. die oben genannte Hypothese zu bestätigen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die zentripetale Kraft, die auf einer rotierenden Zentrifuge entlang der Längsachse des Körpers wirkt, genauso efektiv wie Stehen mit normaler Schwerkraft ist, um das Gefühl des perzeptionellen Aufrechts auszulösen. Die erzielten Daten deuten zudem darauf hin, dass ein Gravitationsfeld von mindestens 0,15 g notwendig ist, um eine efektive Orientierungsinformation für die Wahrnehmung von Aufrecht zu liefern. Dies entspricht in etwa der Gravitationskraft von 0,17 g, die auf dem Mond besteht. Für eine lineare Beschleunigung des Körpers liegt der vestibulare Schwellenwert bei etwa 0,1 m/s2 und somit liegt der Wert für die Situation auf dem Mond von 1,6 m/s2 deutlich über diesem Schwellenwert.
More and more devices will be connected to the internet [3]. Many devicesare part of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) which contains many low-powerdevices often powered by a battery. These devices mainly communicate with the manufacturers back-end and deliver personal data and secrets like passwords.
