T1 - Gemeinsamer Abschlussbericht WIPANO-Vorhaben „Standardisierung und Normung der Ellipsometrie als universeller Spektroskopie“ N2 - Im Vorhaben SNELLIUS wurden in enger Zusammenarbeit der BAM mit den Firmen Accurion und SENTECH Instruments aufbauend auf der Norm DIN 50989-1 „Ellipsometrie - Teil 1: Grundlagen; Ellipsometry – Part 1: Principles“ insgesamt fünf Normenentwürfe erarbeitet, die fünf Modell-basierten Anwendungsfällen der Ellipsometrie entsprechen. Unter Berücksichtigung des neuartigen Modell-basierten Normungskonzepts wurde in den Normenentwürfen erstmals eine GUM- und DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 konforme Bestimmung bzw. Abschätzung der Messunsicherheit umgesetzt. Dies erforderte neben der textlichen Erstellung auch umfangreiche experimentelle Arbeiten bei den Firmen, Vergleichsversuche und komplementäre Modell- und Datenevaluierungen, da sowohl die verwendete ellipsometrische Hardware (unterschiedliche ellipsometrische Funktionsprinzipien) als auch die ellipsometrische Software (Modell-Randbedingungen, Fitalgorithmus) firmenspezifisch zum Teil sehr unterschiedlich sind. Hierbei mussten in einem Konsensprozess Lösungen gefunden werden, die die beiden deutschen Ellipsometer-Anbieter Accurion (Imaging-Ellipsometrie) und SENTECH Instruments (Mapping Ellipsometrie) gleichermaßen akzeptieren konnten und die zudem einen Transfer auf die Internationale Ebene (ISO Norm) ermöglichen, also vom Grundsatz her auch auf weitere Ellipsometerhersteller wie (J. A. Woollam Co., USA; SEMILAB, Ungarn; HORIBA, Japan) mit wieder anderen ellipsometrischen Funktionsprinzipien, Hard- und Softwarelösungen anwendbar sind. Die weitgehende Unabhängigkeit von ellipsometrischen Funktionsprinzipien, Hard- und Softwarelösungen wurde dadurch erreicht, dass normativ festgelegt wurde, dass die ellipsometrischen Größen PSI und DELTA im Sinne von DIN ENISO/IEC 17025 als Rohdaten fungieren.

T1 - Miniaturized Protein Digestion Using Acoustic Levitation with Online High Resolution Mass Spectrometry N2 - The combination of acoustically levitated droplets, mid-IR laser evaporation, and subsequent post-ionization by secondary electrospray ionization was applied for monitoring the enzymatic digestion of various proteins. Acoustically levitated droplets are an ideal, wall-free model reactor, readily allowing compartmentalized microfluidic trypsin digestions. Time-resolved interrogation of the droplets yielded real-time information on the progress of the reaction and thus provided insights into reaction kinetics. After 30 min of digestion in the acoustic levitator, the obtained protein sequence coverages were identical to the reference overnight digestions. Importantly, our results clearly demonstrate that the applied experimental setup can be used for the real-time investigation of chemical reactions. Furthermore, the described methodology only uses a fraction of the typically applied amounts of solvent, analyte, and trypsin. Thus, the results exemplify the use of acoustic levitation as a green analytical chemistry alternative to the currently used batch reactions.

T1 - Quantitative Analysis of Pharmaceutical Drugs Using a Combination of Acoustic Levitation and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry N2 - A combination of acoustic levitation, laser vaporization, and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) is presented in this study that enabled sensitive analysis of pharmaceutical drugs from an aqueous sample matrix. An unfocused pulsed infrared laser provided contactless sample desorption from the droplets trapped inside an acoustic levitator by activation of the OH stretching band of aqueous and alcoholic solvents. Subsequent atmospheric pressure chemical ionization was used between the levitated droplet and the mass spectrometer for postionization. In this setup, the unfocused laser gently desorbed the analytes by applying very mild repulsive forces. Detailed plume formation studies by temporally resolved schlieren experiments were used to characterize the liquid gas transition in this process. In addition, the role of different additives and solvent composition was examined during the ionization process. The analytical application of the technique and the proof-of-concept for quantitative analysis were demonstrated by the determination of selected pharmaceutical drugs in aqueous matrix with limits of quantification at the lower nanomolar level and a linear dynamic range of 3–4 orders of magnitude.

T1 - Laser Ablation Secondary Electrospray Ionization for In Situ Mass Spectrometric Interrogation of Acoustically-Levitated Droplets N2 - The composition of acoustically levitated droplets was probed by a novel combination of mid-IR laser evaporation and subsequent postionization via secondary electrospray ionization. The combination of microliter samples and subnanoliter sampling provided time-resolved interrogation of droplets and allowed for a kinetic investigation of the laser-induced release of the analyte, which was found to strongly depend on the analytes. The observed substancespecific delayed release of the analytes permitted baseline-separated discrimination of the analytes, ideal for the study of complex samples. The additionally applied postionization scheme was found to enable efficient detection of small volatile compounds as well as peptides. The detection of small molecules and peptides occurred under very different sampling geometries, pointing to two distinct underlying ionization mechanisms. Overall, our results suggest that the experimental setup presented in this study can serve as a widely applicable platform to study chemical reactions in acoustically levitated droplets as model reactors.

T1 - Complementarity of molecular and elemental mass spectrometric imaging of Gadovist™ in mouse tissues N2 - Drug biodistribution analyses can be considered a key issue in pharmaceutical discovery and development. Here, mass spectrometric imaging can be employed as a powerful tool to investigate distributions of drug compounds in biologically and medically relevant tissue sections. Both matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–mass spectrometric imaging as molecular method and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric imaging as elemental detection method were applied to determine drug distributions in tissue thin sections. Several mouse organs including the heart, kidney, liver, and brain were analyzed with regard to distribution of Gadovist™, a gadolinium-based contrast agent already approved for clinical investigation. This work demonstrated the successful detection and localization of Gadovist™ in several organs. Furthermore, the results gave evidence that gadolinium-based contrast agents in general can be well analyzed by mass spectrometric imaging methods. In conclusion, the combined application of molecular and elemental mass spectrometry could complement each other and thus confirm analytical results or provide additional information.

A1 - Skrotzki, Birgit A1 - Stekovich, S. T1 - Editorial - Special issue: Recent developments in thermo-mechanical fatigue N2 - Components in the Aerospace, Power and Automotive engineering sectors are frequently subjected to cyclic stresses induced by thermal fluctuations and mechanical loads. For the design of such components, reliable material property data are required which need to be acquired using well accepted and reproducible test procedures for thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) loading. There is limited availability of proven TMF data indicating there is need for further research and testing. The TMF behaviour of materials is often desired to be simulated in models which describe the cyclic stress-strain behaviour, the fatigue life and the cyclic crack growth behaviour. There is a continuous need for the development and amendment of such models. Models can be validated by using materials in industrial applications which are subjected to TMF loading. The 3rd Workshop on Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue was held on 27–29 April 2016 at BAM, Berlin, Germany. The workshop was attended by 90 attendees coming from 17 countries in the world. 38 presentations including five poster presentations were held. The following topics were covered by the workshop: – TMF of materials coated with Thermal Barrier Coatings. – Thermal Gradient Mechanical Fatigue. – TMF crack growth. – TMF + High Cycle Fatigue. – TMF Modelling and Lifetime Prediction. – TMF Properties of steels, cast iron, Al-, Mg- and Ni-alloys – Advanced TMF Testing Techniques. – Industrial Applications. A panel discussion was held regarding the present state of TMF testing standards (ISO and ASTM) and their potential for improvement. The discussion and contributions were summarized and forwarded to the standard committees. The 3rd TMF-Workshop ensured the continuation of international exchange of knowledge providing a forum to present and discuss all recent developments in the field of thermo-mechanical fatigue. The current special issue publishes eleven selected papers of the 3rd TMF-Workshop 2016. The papers were peer reviewed by a number of experts in the Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue sector. I hope you will enjoy reading papers of this special issue.

While several software frameworks have emerged to support these computational efforts, new developments such as machine learned force fields have increased demands for more flexible and programmable workflow solutions. This manuscript introduces atomate2, a comprehensive evolution of our original atomate framework, designed to address existing limitations in computational materials research infrastructure. Key features include the support for multiple electronic structure packages and interoperability between them, along with generalizable workflows that can be written in an abstract form irrespective of the DFT package or machine learning force field used within them. Our hope is that atomate2's improved usability and extensibility can reduce technical barriers for high-throughput research workflows and facilitate the rapid adoption of emerging methods in computational material science.

Spectroscopic imaging ellipsometry (SIE) allows fast data acquisition at multiple wavelengths and provides experimental data for calculating nanometric amorphous layer thickness profiles with micrometric lateral resolution based on a thin-film layer model. For a radially Gaussian laser beam and at moderate peak fluences above the melting and below the ablation thresholds, laterally parabolic amorphous layer profiles with maximum thicknesses of several tens of nanometers were quantitatively attained. The accuracy of the calculations is verified experimentally by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDX). Along with topographic information obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM), a comprehensive picture of the superficial re-solidification of silicon after local melting by femtosecond laser pulses is drawn.

T1 - Comprehensive molecular characterization of a cisplatin-specific monoclonal antibody N2 - Despite their immense and rapidly increasing importance as analytical tools or therapeutic drugs, the detailed structural features of particular monoclonal antibodies are widely unknown. Here, an antibody already in use for diagnostic purposes and for molecular dosimetry studies in cancer therapy with very high affinity and specificity for cisplatin-induced DNA modifications was studied extensively. The molecular structure and modifications as well as the antigen specificity were investigated mainly by mass spectrometry. Using nano electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, it was possible to characterize the antibody in its native state. Tandem-MS experiments not only revealed specific fragments but also gave information on the molecular structure. The detailed primary structure was further elucidated by proteolytic treatment with a selection of enzymes and high resolution tandem-MS. The data were validated by comparison with known antibody sequences. Then, the complex glycan structures bound to the antibody were characterized in all detail. The Fc-bound oligosaccharides were released enzymatically and studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Overall 16 different major glycan structures were identified. The binding specificity of the antibody was investigated by applying synthetic single and double stranded DNA oligomers harboring distinct Pt adducts. The antibody− antigen complexes were analyzed by mass spectrometry under native conditions. The stability of the complex with double stranded DNA was also investigated.

T1 - A new strategy for metal labeling of glycan structures in antibodies N2 - Quantitative analysis of complex proteins is a challenging task in modern bioanalytical chemistry. Commonly available isotope labels are still suffering from limitations and drawbacks, whereas new metal labels open numerous possibilities in mass spectrometric analyses. In this work, we have developed a newmetal labeling strategy to tag glycan structures of proteins, more particularly antibodies. The oligosaccharide glycans were selectively trimmed to the last N-acetylglucosamine to which an artificial azide containing galactose residue was bound. This azide can be used for subsequent cycloaddition of an alkyne. Therefore, we developed a lanthanide-containing macrocyclic reagent to selectively connect to this azido galactose. In summary, the glycan structures of an antibody can be labeled with a metal functionality using this approach. Furthermore, the functionality of the antibodies can be fully maintained by labeling the Fc glycans instead of using labeling reagents that target amino or thiol groups. This approach enables the possibility of using elemental, besides molecular mass spectrometry, for quantitative analyses or imaging experiments of antibodies in complex biological samples.

T1 - Charge-induced geometrical reorganization of DNA oligonucleotides studied by tandem mass spectrometry and ion mobility N2 - Mass spectrometry is applied as a tool for the elucidation of molecular structures. This premises that gas-phase structures reflect the original geometry of the analytes, while it requires a thorough understanding and investigation of the forces controlling and affecting the gas-phase structures. However, only little is known about conformational changes of oligonucleotides in the gas phase. In this study, a series of multiply charged DNA oligonucleotides (n¼15–40) has been subjected to a comprehensive tandem mass spectrometric study to unravel transitions between different ionic gas-phase structures. The nucleobase sequence and the chain length were varied to gain insights into their influence on the geometrical oligonucleotide organization. Altogether, 23 oligonucleotides were analyzed using collision-induced fragmentation. All sequences showed comparable correlation regarding the characteristic collision energy. This value that is also a measure for stability, strongly correlates with the net charge density of the precursor ions. With decreasing charge of the oligonucleotides, an increase in the fragmentation energy was observed. At a distinct charge density, a deviation from linearity was observed for all studied species, indicating a structural reorganization. To corroborate the proposed geometrical change, collisional cross-sections of the oligonucleotides at different charge states were determined using ion mobility-mass spectrometry. The results clearly indicate that an increase in charge density and thus Coulomb repulsion results in the transition from a folded, compact form to elongated structures of the precursor ions. Our data show this structural transition to depend mainly on the charge density, whereas sequence and size do not have an influence.

T1 - Negative nucleotide ions as sensitive probes for energy specificity in collision‐induced fragmentation in mass spectrometry N2 - Rationale: The most commonly used fragmentation methods in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are collision‐induced dissociation (CID) and higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD). While in CID the preselected ions in the trap are resonantly (and m/z exclusively) excited, in HCD the entire m/z range experiences the dissociative acceleration. The different excitation is reflected in different fragment distributions. Methods: As a test‐bed for particularly pronounced fragmentation specificity, here MS/MS experiments on several 4‐mer oligonucleotides were conducted employing both collision methods and the results were thoroughly compared. Oligonucleotides are shown to be sensitive probes to subtle changes, especially in the negative ion mode. A detailed analysis of these differences reveals insight into the dissociation mechanics. Results: Thedifferencesarerepresentedinheat‐maps,whichallowforadirectvisualinspection oflargeamountsofdata.Inthesefalsecolourrepresentationsthe,sometimessubtle,changesinthe individual dissociation product distributions become distinct. Another advantage of these graphic plots can be found in the formation of systematic patterns. These patterns reflect trends in dissociation specificity which allow for the formulation of general rules in fragmentation behavior. Conclusions: Instruments equipped with two different excitation schemes for MS/MS are today widely available. Nonetheless, direct comparisons between the individual results are scarcely made. Such comparative studies bear a powerful analytical potential to elucidate fragmentation reaction mechanism.

A1 - Herbst, Tristan T1 - Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau - Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse für das Mauerwerksrecycling / Schlussbericht zum IGF-Vorhaben 17022 N N2 - In Deutschland fallen mittelfristig erhebliche Mengen von Mauerwerkbruch an. Aus dem jährlichen Bauschuttanfall und den Produktionszahlen von Wandbausteinen lassen sich die Mengen an Mauerwerksrestmassen ableiten, die als Rückbaumaterial bei Abriss-, Umbau und Sanierungsarbeiten in Deutschland anfallen werden. Hiernach ist pro Jahr mit bis zu 10 Millionen Tonnen heute vornehmlich heterogen anfallendem Mauerwerkbruch zu rechnen [1a]. Im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind diese Restmassen zukünftig einem möglichst hochwertigen Recycling zuzuführen. In diesem Spannungsfeld führt die deutsche Mauersteinindustrie das breit aufgestellte gemeinschaftliche Forschungsprojekt "SIM Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau" durch. In insgesamt acht mauersteinübergreifenden IGFForschungsvorhaben wurden und werden technisch orientierte Lösungsmöglichkeiten für das Recycling von Mauerwerk erarbeitet und Anwendungsbereiche für Mauerwerksrestmassen aufgezeigt. Eine grundsätzliche Entscheidung über die Eignung von Mauerwerksrestmassen für bestimmte Recyclingwege kann es letztlich nicht geben. Es wird immer eine Einzelfallentscheidung bleiben, die wesentlich durch komplexe technische sowie ökologische und ökonomische Randbedingungen geprägt wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde im Rahmen des IGF-Forschungsvorhabens 17022 N der Forschungsvereinigung Porenbetonindustrie e.V., Berlin die Nachhaltigkeit verschiedener Recyclingoptionen für Mauerwerkbruch ganzheitlich untersucht und bewertet. Unter Einbeziehung der Hauptwandbausteinarten Ziegel, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton und Leichtbeton wurden dabei material- und verfahrenstechnische sowie ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Aspekte berücksichtigt. Auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurde ein EDV-gestütztes Analysetool (Web-Tool) zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung für das Mauerwerksrecycling entwickelt. Mit dem Web-Tool sollen Anwender (Planer, Architekten, Recycler) die Möglichkeit erhalten, für verschiedene Untersuchungsfälle unter Einbeziehung regional und sachlich bedingter Parameter, wie Materialqualität, Stoffmengen, Logistik, Aufbereitungstechnik, Anwendungsbereiche, Kosten und Erlöse, objektspezifische Aussagen zur Nachhaltigkeit treffen zu können. Auf diesem Wege können im Sinne der aktuellen gesetzlichen Vorgaben nachhaltige Stoffkreisläufe im Mauerwerksbau geschlossen und somit letztlich die Deponierung von Mauerwerksrestmassen vermieden werden. Alle vier Wandbaustoffarten haben sich im Rahmen des Forschungsvorhabens als recyclingfähig und hinsichtlich der Nachhaltigkeit als gleichwertig erwiesen. Das Ziel des Vorhabens wurde damit erreicht.

T1 - DOTA based metal labels for protein quantification: a review N2 - Today, quantitative data play a pivotal role in the understanding of biological processes. This is particularly true for the proteome: protein quantification always follows protein identification. To obtain useful and reliable quantitative data, rather sophisticated strategies using electrospray and MALDI mass spectrometry have been developed, which allow relative and sometimes even absolute quantification. All of those strategies have merits and limitations. In order to overcome some of these limits, methods based on the reliable and sensitive detection and quantification of heavy metals present in proteins using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS have been reported. With specific labels carrying heavy metals, the applicability of ICP-MS has been extended to almost every protein. One of such covalently bound metal tags, allowing the quantification of low abundant proteins, uses 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane N,N',N'',N''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) chelate complexes carrying lanthanides as the metal core. In this review the scope and limitations of peptide and protein quantification will be addressed. The metal tags do not only provide low detection limits, but also due to the large number of different lanthanides and lanthanide isotopes, multiplexing capabilities and previously unknown accuracy based on inherently possible isotope dilution methods came into reach. The developed workflows, including electrophoretic and chromatographic separation and preconcentration techniques, will be addressed to allow a comparison with already established procedures.

A1 - Procop, Mathias A1 - Beck, Uwe T1 - Realisation and metrological characterisation of thickness standards below 100 nm N2 - High-accuracy film thickness measurements in the range below 100 nm can be made by various complex methods like spectral ellipsometry (SE), scanning force microscopy (SFM), grazing incidence X-ray reflectometry (GIXR), or X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). The measurement results achieved with these methods are based on different interactions between the film and the probe. A key question in nanotechnology is how to achieve consistent results on a level of uncertainty below one nanometre with different techniques. Two different types of thickness standards are realised. Metal film standards for X-ray techniques in the thickness range 10 to 50 nm are calibrated by GIXR with monochromatised synchrotron radiation of 8048 eV. The results obtained at four different facilities show excellent agreement. SiO2 on Si standards for SE and SFM in the thickness range 6 to 1000 nm are calibrated by GIXR with monochromatised synchrotron radiation of 1841 eV and with a metrological SFM. Consistent results within the combined uncertainties are obtained with the two methods. Surfaces and interfaces of both types of standards are additionally investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Das Ziel ist die Bereitstellung praxistauglicher, kalibrierter SDM, im weiteren Schichtdickennormale (SDN) genannt. SDN sind Maßverkörperungen, für die der Schichtdickenwert mit einer definierten Messunsicherheit bekannt und auf ein metrologisch anerkanntes Längennormal zurückgeführt ist.

Fabry-Perot layer stacks as information carriers in combination with imaging ellipsometry as optical read-out system provide all-in-one anti-counterfeiting capability that may establish the new security level 'encoded forensic'. Different layer designs are described with regard to all three security levels: public features (e.g. color and tilt effect) perceptible by the human eye, hidden features (e.g. spectroscopic response in the UV or IR), and forensic features (ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ as a function of wavelength λ and angle of incidence AOI). Physically uncloneable functions (PUF) could be realized as a result of a multi-material and a multi-parameter deposition approach as well as by means of specific design features of the Fabry-Perot layer stack. Hence, they are not subject to any reverse engineering strategies. Examples of stratified, micro-structured, and laser-modified Fabry-Perot layer systems are considered that may be used at all perception levels (e.g. human eye, bar code reader, and imaging ellipsometry) for authentication against product counterfeiting and related areas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zur Authentifizierung werden offene, versteckte und forensische Merkmale entweder codiert oder direkt auslesbar verwendet. Mit Fabry-Perot Schichtsystemen als Informationsträger in Kombination mit der abbildenden Ellipsometrie als optischem Auslesesystem steht ein 'all-in-one' Fälschungsschutz-System zur Verfügung, das ein neues Sicherheitsniveau 'kodiert-forensisch' darstellt. Es werden unterschiedliche Schichtdesigns beschrieben, mit denen alle drei Sicherheitsniveaus realisiert werden können: offene Merkmale (z.B. Farbe und Kippeffekt), die mit dem menschlichen Auge wahrnehmbar sind, versteckte Merkmale (z.B. die spektrale Antwort im Sichtbaren oder im IR) sowie forensische Merkmale (ellipsometrische Größen Ψ und Δ als Funktion der Wellenlänge λ und des Einfallswinkels AOI). Physikalisch nicht klonbare Funktionen (PUF) können im Ergebnis einer Multi-Material- und Multi-Parameter Beschichtungsstrategie sowie durch spezifische Design-Merkmale des Fabry-Perot Schichtsystems realisiert werden. Folglich sind solche Schichtsysteme dem 'reverse engineering' nicht zugänglich. Es werden Beispiele für lateral ausgedehnte, mikrostrukturierte und Laser modifizierte Schichtsysteme auf verschiedenen Ausleseniveaus (menschliches Auge, Barcode-Lesegerät, abbildendes Ellipsometer) vorgestellt, die zur Authentifizierung von Produkten und verwandte Gebiete geeignet sind.

In many instances, the legal authentication of a product, a material or a document is required. Among the surface-based encoded labels, bar codes and data matrices are most frequently applied. They are publicly visible. The material itself is irrelevant, only a sufficient optical contrast is required. However, a strong material dependence of the label can be achieved by means of Fabry-Perot layer stacks. Stack designs are described with regard to all three security levels: public features (e.g. color and tilt effect) perceptible by the human eye, hidden features (e.g. optical response in a given spectral range) detectable by commonly available instruments and forensic features (ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ as a function of wavelength λ and angle of incidence AOI) only detectable by sophisticated instruments. Regarding material-correlated authentication, ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ are used as encoded forensic features for the first time. Hence, Fabry-Perot layer stacks as information carriers in combination with imaging ellipsometry as optical read-out system provide all-in-one anti-counterfeiting capabilities.

A1 - Gorbushina, Anna T1 - Microbial hitchhikers on intercontinental dust: catching a lift in Chad N2 - Ancient mariners knew that dust whipped up from deserts by strong winds travelled long distances, including over oceans. Satellite remote sensing revealed major dust sources across the Sahara. Indeed, the Bodélé Depression in the Republic of Chad has been called the dustiest place on earth. We analysed desert sand from various locations in Chad and dust that had blown to the Cape Verde Islands. High throughput sequencing techniques combined with classical microbiological methods showed that the samples contained a large variety of microbes well adapted to the harsh desert conditions. The most abundant bacterial groupings in four different phyla included: (a) Firmicutes—Bacillaceae, (b) Actinobacteria—Geodermatophilaceae, Nocardiodaceae and Solirubrobacteraceae, (c) Proteobacteria—Oxalobacteraceae, Rhizobiales and Sphingomonadaceae, and (d) Bacteroidetes—Cytophagaceae. Ascomycota was the overwhelmingly dominant fungal group followed by Basidiomycota and traces of Chytridiomycota, Microsporidia and Glomeromycota. Two freshwater algae (Trebouxiophyceae) were isolated. Most predominant taxa are widely distributed land inhabitants that are common in soil and on the surfaces of plants. Examples include Bradyrhizobium spp. that nodulate and fix nitrogen in Acacia species, the predominant trees of the Sahara as well as Herbaspirillum (Oxalobacteraceae), a group of chemoorganotrophic free-living soil inhabitants that fix nitrogen in association with Gramineae roots. Few pathogenic strains were found, suggesting that African dust is not a large threat to public health.

T1 - Microbial hitchhikers on intercontinental dust: high-throughput sequencing to catalogue microbes in small sand samples N2 - Microbiological studies on the intercontinental transport of dust are confounded by the difficulty of obtaining sufficient material for analysis. Axenic samples of dust collected at high altitudes or historic specimens in museums are often so small and precious that the material can only be sacrificed when positive results are assured. With this in mind, we evaluated current methods and developed new ones in an attempt to catalogue all microbes present in small dust or sand samples. The methods used included classical microbiological approaches in which sand extracts were plated out on a variety of different media, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based amplification of 16S/18S rRNA sequences followed by construction of clone libraries, PCR amplification of 16S rRNA sequences followed by high-throughput sequencing (HtS) of the products and direct HtS of DNA extracted from the sand. A representative sand sample collected at Bahaï Wadi in the desert of the Republic of Chad was used. HtS with or without amplification showed the most promise and can be performed on ≤100 ng DNA. Since living microbes are often required, current best practices would involve geochemical and microscopic characterisation of the sample, followed by DNA isolation and direct HtS. Once the microbial content of the sample has been deciphered, growth conditions (including media) can be tailored to isolate the micro-organisms of interest.

Die Auswahl an verfügbaren Klebstoffen und Vorbehandlungsoptionen ist dabei ebenfalls vielfältig. Einige Polymere weisen darüber hinaus Eigenschaften auf, die eine Herstellung von festen und dauerhaft beanspruchbaren Klebverbindungen erschweren. Mittels Oberflächenbehandlung, z.B. durch Plasmafeinreinigung bzw. –aktivierung, können die Grenzflächern solcher Polymere - bezogen auf die Eignung als Fügeteilpartner – optimiert werden. Schnelle Prüfverfahren zur Ermittlung von Verbundeigenschaften sind somit erforderlich. Das Messprinzip Centrifugal Adhesion Testing Technologie verwendet die radial gerichtete Zentrifugalkraft als Belastungsgröße des zu testenden Verbunds, die durch Variation der Drehzahl gesteuert wird. Bei Erreichen der kritischen Beanspruchung trennt sich ein aufgeklebter Prüfstempel vom Substrat. Zeitgleich wird ein positionsbezogenes IR-Signal aus dem drehenden Rotor an das Basisgerät gesendet und zusammen mit der Drehzahl an die PC-Software übertragen. Für jede Probe wird die Bruchkraft berechnet und in Echtzeit angezeigt. Der Adhesion Analyser LUMiFrac® untersucht bis zu acht Prüfkörper unter identischen Bedingungen. Das neue Messprinzip erfüllt die Anforderungen von DIN EN 15870, DIN EN 14869-2, ISO 4624 sowie DIN EN 13144. Die Multiprobentestung ermöglicht schnelle Charakterisierungen von Klebverbindungen. So kann der Effekt einer Plasmabehandlung von Bauteilen auf die Verbundfestigkeit zeitsparend bestimmt werden. Die gezielte Veränderung unterschiedlicher Plasma-Parameter, wie beispielsweise, die Plasmazusammensetzung, der Abstand vom Plasmabrenner zur Oberfläche oder die Verweildauer unter dem Brenner, beeinflußt die Festigkeit des Klebsystems und ist dem LUMiFrac direkt quantifizierbar. Neben der Festigkeitsbestimmung von Klebverbindungen ist die Haftung von Schichtsystemen ein wichtiger Anwendungsbereich. Ergebnisse für Zug- und Scherbeanspruchung, realisiert mit unterschiedlichen Prüfkörper-Geometrien, werden vorgestellt. Ferner werden verschiedene festigkeitsbeeinflussende Faktoren, wie Prüfgeschwindigkeit oder Substratverformung bei Beanspruchung untersucht T2 - 35.

Here, the authors present a generalized approach of how to extract the isotropic ellipsometric sample parameters from an imaging Mueller-matrix measurement even if the sample is significantly misaligned. They validate the method by layer-thickness calculations based on imaging Mueller-matrix measurements of flat crystalline silicon samples that were misaligned on purpose. Furthermore, they also exploit this method’s capabilities to perform spatially resolved layer-thickness measurements of a single-layer indium-tin-oxide coating on a fused-silica microlens without the need of realignment or repositioning of the sample during the measurement.

T1 - Comparison of the fragmentation behavior of DNA and LNA single strands and duplexes N2 - DNA and locked nucleic acid (LNA) were characterized as single strands, as well as double stranded DNA-DNA duplexes and DNA-LNA hybrids using tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation. Additionally, ion mobility spectrometry was carried out on selected species. Oligonucleotide duplexes of different sequences – bearing mismatch positions and abasic sites of complementary DNA 15-mers – were investigated to unravel general trends in their stability in the gas phase. Single stranded LNA oligonucleotides were also investigated with respect to their gas phase behavior and fragmentation upon collision-induced dissociation. In contrast to the collision-induced dissociation of DNA, almost no base loss was observed for LNAs. Here, backbone cleavages were the dominant dissociation pathways. This finding was further underlined by the need for higher activation energies. Base losses from the LNA strand were also absent in fragmentation experiments of the investigated DNA-LNA hybrid duplexes. While DNA-DNA duplexes dissociated easily into single stranded fragments, the high stability of DNA-LNA hybrids resulted in predominant fragmentation of the DNA part rather than the LNA, while base losses were only observed from the DNA single strand of the hybrid.

Besides commonly used methods like collision-induced dissociation and electron capture or transfer dissociation, new ultraviolet light–based techniques have the potential to synergistically add to the activation methods. Here, we present a new simple, yet robust, experimental design for polychromatic activation of trapped ions using the 115–160 nm output of a commercially available deuterium lamp. The resulting continuous dissociative excitation with photons of a wide energy range from 7.7 to 10.8 eV is studied for a comprehensive set of analyte classes in both positive and negative ion modes. While being simple, affordable, compact, and of low maintenance, the new setup initiates fragmentation of most precursor ions via their known dissociation pathways. Additionally, some new fragmentation patterns were discovered. Especially, electron loss and electron capture reactions with subsequent fragmentations were observed. For oligonucleotides, peptides, carbohydrates, and organic dyes, in comparison to collision-induced dissociation, a significantly wider fragment distribution was obtained, resulting in an information increase. Since the individual photons carry enough energy to post-ionize the nascent fragments, a permanent vacuum ultraviolet light exposure inside the ion trap potentially goes along with a general increase in detection capability.

T1 - Effect of curvature of spherical microscopic indentations on the ellipsometric readout N2 - The authors describe and interpret curvature-related changes to the ellipsometric readout. As model system for a concave curvature, a set of three spherical microscopic indents in silicon (100) of different sizes was prepared by instrumented indentation testing using a spherical indenter. For reference, these samples were characterized by AFM to reveal the topography of each structure. The concavelike indents were analyzed by Mueller-Matrix imaging ellipsometry to extract lateral intensity images of 12 elements of the Mueller-Matrix. As a result of the detailed analysis of the image elements m22, m23, and m14, it was possible to correlate intensity changes and symmetry properties to depolarization and cross polarization induced by the edge threshold and the curved surface of the indent.

T1 - Comparison of the fragmentation behavior of differentially metal-coded affinity tag (MeCAT)-labeled peptides N2 - Mass spectrometry (MS) became a pivotal technique in the still growing field of quantitative proteomics, since system biology needs quantitative information. This development is not only driven by newly arising demands, but from the availability of modern instrumentation and new quantitative methods. Thus, techniques like isotope-coded affinity tags, isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification and stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture have been used routinely in many laboratories for years. However, only a few of the methods in quantitative proteomics offer absolute quantification.[5–8] Most approaches only deliver relative quantification data by direct comparison of two or more samples.

T1 - MeCAT - new iodoacetamide reagents for metal labeling of proteins and peptides N2 - Besides protein identification via mass spectrometric methods, protein and peptide quantification has become more and more important in order to tackle biological questions. Methods like differential gel electrophoresis or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays have been used to assess protein concentrations, while stable isotope labeling methods are also well established in quantitative proteomics. Recently, we developed metalcoded affinity tagging (MeCAT) as an alternative for accurate and sensitive quantification of peptides and proteins. In addition to absolute quantification via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, MeCAT also enables sequence analysis via electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. In the current study, we developed a new labeling approach utilizing an iodoacetamide MeCAT reagent (MeCAT-IA). The MeCAT-IA approach shows distinct advantages over the previously used MeCAT with maleinimide reactivity such as higher labelling efficiency and the lack of diastereomer formation during labeling. Here, we present a careful characterization of this new method focusing on the labeling process, which yields complete tagging with an excess of reagent of 1.6 to 1, less complex chromatographic behavior, and fragmentation characteristics of the tagged peptides using the iodoacetamide MeCAT reagent.

A1 - Beck, T. A1 - Wittstock, B. A1 - Herbst, Tristan T1 - Sustainability assessment for the recycling of masonry N2 - In Germany, construction debris, road construction waste and excavated material amount to 60% of the total waste. The construction debris originates mainly from Building demolition and comprises of concrete and different types of masonry such as red brick, lime-sandstone, aerated concrete and lightweight concrete, but also other materials such as insulation material, gypsum, plaster, tiles, wood, Steel and plastics. Due to the large amount of building demolition material, the recycling of masonry to high-quality Recycling Products and closed-loop-recycling bears a high potential to reduce environmental impacts. Within the AiF (German Federation of Industrial Research Association) research Project “Sustainability Assessment for the Recycling of Masonry”, different recycling Technologies will be assessed with regard to their sustainability performance. All three pillars of sustainability - the ecological, the economic and the social pillar - will be considered, using the methods of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life Cycle Working Environment (LCWE). The assessment will be carried out for different Recycling technologies, for common ones but also for such technologies that are not yet in large scale application. The applicability of technologies depends on the type of the demolition material and on the purity of variety. One part of the research project is to develop a web-based tool for operators of recycling facilities and for demolition Companies to assess their recycling options. In most cases, demolished masonry has a very heterogeneous material composition, and therefore can only be used for lower-level recycling options or ends up in landfill. The aim of the project is to avoid landfilling and the downcycling of products and to achieve a higher recycling level. Closed-loop-recycling has priority. The main aspects of closed-loop-recycling are to change not the inherent properties of the recycled material and to recycle into the same or other product Systems. In the course of this, it is important to preserve the quality of the recycling material and to ensure a versatile use. To reach this target, different recycling technologies are identified and with the aid of the mentioned methods - LCA, LCC and LCWE - evaluated. In addition to predefined Processing routes, it is possible to assess individual recycling plants. A basic recyclingprinciple is defined to which further System modules can be added. The web-tool enables the user to identify different options - depending on the demolition material and its purity - and yields the sustainability assessment. Thus, the user gets Information about possibilities of the recycling of masonry and the environmental, economic and social Benefits compared to downcycling and landfill.

Im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind diese Restmassen zukünftig einem möglichst hochwertigen Recycling zuzuführen. Im Rahmen des IGF-Forschungsvorhabens 17022 N der Forschungsvereinigung Porenbetonindustrie e.V., Berlin, wird im Gesamtkontext “SIM Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau“ die Nachhaltigkeit verschiedener Recyclingoptionen für Mauerwerksbruch unter Einbeziehung der Hauptwandbausteinarten Ziegel, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton und Leichtbeton sowie unter Beachtung material- und verfahrenstechnischer sowie ökologischer, ökonomischer und sozialer Aspekte ganzheitlich untersucht und bewertet. Auf Grundlage der dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wird ein rechnergestütztes Analysetool zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung für das Mauerwerksrecycling entwickelt. Auf diesem Wege sollen im Sinne der aktuellen gesetzlichen Vorgaben nachhaltige Stoffkreisläufe im Mauerwerksbau geschlossen und somit letztlich die Deponierung von Mauerwerksrestmassen vermieden werden.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Germany, a not unimportant quantity of masonry rubble is generated in the medium term. With regard to a sustainable closed substance cycle waste management, these rest masses have to be recycled if possible. Within the IGF research project “Sustainability Analysis for the Recycling of Masonry”, different recycling options will be assessed with regard to their sustainability performance. In doing so, the main kinds of masonry units (clay units, calcium silicate units, autoclaved aerated concrete units, aggregate concrete units), their material properties, the processing technologies as well as ecological, economic and social aspects will be considered. Based on the results, a web-based tool will be developed to assess the sustainability of different recycling options for masonry rubble.

T1 - Mechanical properties of SiO2 and Si3N4 coatings: a BAM/NIST co-operative project N2 - Mechanical properties, i.e. hardness and elastic modulus, of amorphous SiO2 and Si3N4 PE-CVD coatings have been studied for two coating thicknesses (0.1 and 1.0 µm) and two substrate materials (fused silica, i.e. Herasil, and borosilicate glass, i.e., BK7) using low load instrumented indentation. The coating systems are being considered for possible use as reference materials for thin film mechanical property test methods. Single layers of SiO2 and Si3N4 and a multilayer stack consisting of five double layers of SiO2/Si3N4 (individual layer thickness: 0.1 µm) were investigated on both substrate materials. A special plasma pre-treatment of the substrates prior to deposition ensured that coating adhesion exceeded inner film stress for all systems considered. The applied indentation load ranged from 700 down to 0.1 mN and resulted in indentation depths from more than 1 µm to about 15 nm. The influence of coating thickness and the effect of the substrate on the measurement of hardness and elastic modulus of the films are discussed, with emphasis on the effects of indentation depth vs. coating thickness on the observed coating properties. One coating–substrate system (1.0 µm Si3N4 on Herasil) out of ten was found to be above a critical threshold for tensile cracking of the coating. In this system, termed ‘overcritical’, tensile cracks occurred both prior to, and as a result of, indentation, indicating that Berkovich indentation may also be used to probe residual film stress.

T1 - In operando XAFS experiments on flexible electrochromic devices based on Fe(II)-metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolytes and vanadium oxides N2 - Flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on Fe(II)-metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolytes (Fe-MEPE) and vanadium oxide are studied in operando by means of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The ECDs are blue-purple in the colored state at 0.0 V and become light yellow when a voltage of 1.6 V is applied. The XAFS studies at the K-edge of Fe(II) reveals that the absorption edge is shifted toward higher energies by 1.8 eV in the transparent state. Comparison of two different ECDs and different charge cycles demonstrates the reversibility and repeatability of the process. We attribute the shift to a charge transfer and a change of oxidation state of the ions from Fe2+ to Fe3+. The transition is not accompanied by a noticeable structural change of the octahedral coordination geometry as confirmed by analysis of the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data.
