T1 - TCAIM controls effector T cell generation by preventing Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contact Site-initiated Cholesterol Biosynthesis N2 - T cells need to adapt their cellular metabolism for effector cell differentiation. This relies on alterations in mitochondrial physiology. Which signals and molecules regulate those alterations remains unclear. We recently reported, that the mitochondrial protein TCAIM inhibits activation-induced changes in mitochondrial morphology and function and thus, CD effector T cell formation. Using conditional TCAIM knock-in (KI) and knockout (KO) mice, w now show that it also applies to CD8+ T cells and more importantly, delineate the molecular processes in mitochondria by which TCAIM controls effector cell differentiation. TCAIM KI resulted in reduced activation-induced HIF1α protein expression. Metabolomics and transcriptional data in combination with mathematical flux modeling revealed an impaired induction of anabolic pathways, especially of the mevalonate pathway and cholesterol biosynthesis in TCAIM KI CD8+ T cells. Addition of cholesterol completely rescued HIF1α protein expression, activation and proliferation of TCAIM KI CD8+ T cells. At the molecular level, TCAIM delayed activation-induced mitochondria-ER contact (MERC) formation by binding to MERC promoting proteins such as RMD3 and VDAC2. In summary, we demonstrate that TCAIM suppresses effector cell differentiation by inhibiting MERC formation, which induce HIF1α-mediated increase in cellular metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis.

A1 - Recknagel, Sebastian T1 - A fast and robust direct solid sampling method for the determination of 27 trace, main and minor elements in soda-lime glass based on ETV-ICP OES and using a gaseous halogenating modifier N2 - A method, based on electrothermal vaporization (ETV) coupled to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES), has been optimized for direct solid sampling analysis of soda-lime glass - the most common type of industrially manufactured glass. This method allows fast and reliable quantification of the main elements - Al, Ca, K, Mg, Na, and Si - and trace elements - As, Ba, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, (P), Pb, Sb, (Se), Sn, Sr, Ti, V, Zn, and Zr. In the presented ETV-ICP OES method, calibration is performed predominantly with matrix-free synthetic samples. This metrological advantage is normally not achieved with direct solid sampling methods and is one of the goals of the present study. In a certification interlaboratory comparison for the soda-lime glass CRM BAM-S005c, 2 out of 16 laboratories employed the ETV-ICP OES method. An improved analytical performance was obtained compared with the results of laboratories that used conventional liquid ICP OES. For both methods, the average relative deviations between the laboratory results and certified values as well as the average values of relative standard deviation were with a few exceptions <10%, in most cases even <5%, which indicated high trueness and precision.

T1 - Layered silicate epoxy nanocomposites: formation of the inorganic-carbonaceous fire protection layer N2 - The layered silicate (LS) modification and processing parameters applied control the morphology of the LS/polymer composites. Here, increasing the surface area of the LS particles by using alternative drying processes increases dispersion towards a more typical nanocomposite morphology, which is a basic requirement for promising flame retardancy. Nevertheless, the morphology at room temperature does not act itself with respect to flame retardancy, but serves as a prerequisite for the formation of an efficient surface protection layer during pyrolysis. The formation of this residue layer was addressed experimentally for the actual pyrolysis region of a burning nanocomposite and thus our results are valid without any assumptions or compromises on the time period, dimension, surrounding atmosphere or temperature. The formation of the inorganic-carbonaceous residue is influenced by bubbling, migration, reorientation, agglomeration, ablation, and perhaps also delamination induced thermally and by decomposition, whereas true sintering of the inorganic particles was ruled out as an important mechanism. Multiple, quite different mechanisms are relevant during the formation of the residue, and the importance of each mechanism probably differs from one nanocomposite system to another. The main fire protection effect of the surface layer in polymer nanocomposites based on non-charring or nearly non-charring polymers is the increase in surface temperature, resulting in a substantial increase in reradiated heat flux (heat shielding).

T1 - SHM using Guided Waves – Recent Activities and Advances in Germany N2 - Issues that prevent Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Guided Waves (GW) from being a part of today’s monitoring solutions in industry are not all obvious to the scientific community. To uncover and overcome these issues, scientists working on SHM and GW problems joined in an expert committee under the patronage of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing. An initiated online survey among more than 700 experts and users reveals the hurdles hindering the practical application of GWbased SHM. Firstly, methods for proof of reliability of SHM approaches are missing. Secondly, detailed understanding of phenomenological described wave-damage interactions is needed. Additionally, there are significant unsolved implementation issues and unsolved problems of signal processing including handling of environmental influences. To enable substantial proof of reliability without unaffordable experimental effort also efficient simulation tools including realistic damage interaction are needed, enabling the joint use of experimental and simulated data to predict the capabilities of the Monitoring system. Considering these issues, the committee focusses on simulation, signal processing, as well as probability of detection and standardization. In the presented work, recent activities of the expert committee starting with survey results are summarized. An open access data basis of life-like measurements is presented to allow testing and comparison of signal processing and simulation algorithms. Finally, a strategy for efficient proof of reliability increasing the acceptance of SHM in industry and for successful Integration of SHM into real-world engineering structures is proposed.

T1 - Empfehlungen zur Vermeidung von Überdrücken an Tankfahrzeugen bei Untenbefüllung N2 - Das Risiko von Überdrücken bei der Untenbefüllung von Tankfahrzeugen hat zu Vorfällen mit zum Teil erheblichen Sach- und Personenschäden geführt und ist ein nicht auszuschließendes Gefährdungspotential für Menschen, Umwelt, Anlagen und Transportmittel. Zur weiteren Verbesserung des Managements dieses Risikos und seiner potentiellen Auswirkungen hat der MWV die DGMK gebeten, das Thema in einem Projekt zu bearbeiten, um mögliche Sicherungsdefizite aufzudecken und Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Als Forschungsstelle wurde die Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) ausgewählt, die das DGMK-Projekt 727 „Überdrucksicherung an Tankfahrzeugen“ gemeinsam mit Vertretern von Tankfahrzeug- und Armaturenherstellern, Mineralölindustrie sowie der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) bearbeitet hat. In Messungen an zwei Füllstellen wurden reale Druck-, Temperatur- und Volumenstromverhältnisse für die Beladung eines Tankfahrzeugs aufgenommen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass es in einem Tankfahrzeug, in dem keine zusätzlichen Druckverluste wie z. B. durch Vereisungen im Inneren der Kippventil-Flammendurchschlagsicherungs-Armatur auftreten, zu keinem unzulässig hohen Druckaufbau in einer Tankwagenkammer kommen kann. Zusätzlich erfolgten Versuche in einer Kältekammer, um die Möglichkeit und die Randbedingungen einer Vereisung des Kippventils und der Flammendurchschlagsicherung zu ermitteln. Mit diesen Ergebnissen sind Szenarien erarbeitet worden, die bekannte Überdruckschadensereignisse erklären können. Aus einer Gefährdungsbeurteilung heraus wurden Maßnahmen beschrieben, wie zukünftig solche Überdruckschäden an Tankfahrzeugen vermieden werden können. Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen des Projektes hat die Projektbegleitung diese und weitere Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihrer Umsetzbarkeit diskutiert und die vorliegende Empfehlung zur Vermeidung von Überdrücken an Tankfahrzeugen bei Untenbefüllung erarbeitet.

T1 - Reconstruction procedure for 3D micro X-ray absorption fine structure N2 - A new approach for chemical speciation in stratified systems using 3D Micro-XAFS spectroscopy is developed by combining 3D Micro X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (3D Micro-XRF) and conventional X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (XAFS). A prominent field of application is stratified materials within which depth-resolved chemical speciation is required. Measurements are collected in fluorescence mode which in general lead to distorted spectra due to absorption effects. Developing a reliable reconstruction algorithm for obtaining undistorted spectra for superficial and in-depth layers is proposed and validated. The developed algorithm calculates the attenuation coefficients of the analyte for the successive layers facilitating a new spectroscopic tool for three-dimensionally resolved nondestructive chemical speciation.
