The Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F is a widely used low-cost dust sensor, but despite its popularity, the manufacturer provides little information on the sensor. We installed 16 sensing nodes with Sharp dust sensors in a hot rolling mill of a steel factory. Our analysis shows a clear correlation between sensor drift and accumulated production of the steel factory. An eye should be kept on the long-term drift of the sensors to prevent early saturation. Two of 16 sensors experienced full saturation, each after around eight and ten months of operation.
Luminescence techniques are amongst the most commonly used analytical methods in the life and material sciences due to their high sensitivity and non-destructive and multiparametric character. Photoluminescence signals are, however, affected by wavelength-, polarization-, and time-dependent instrument specific effect and the compound-specific photoluminescence quantum yield. The former hamper the comparability of fluorescence measurements, while the relative determination of the latter requires suitable quantum yield standards with well-known photoluminescence quantum yields (QY). For the simple correction of instrument specific effects in the wavelength region of 300 nm to 950 nm, the set of the five certified spectral fluorescence standards BAM-F001 – BAM-F005, has been extended to the NIR range by including two new fluorescence standards currently under certification. For the reliable and accurate determination of QY which is the key performance parameter for the comparison of different luminophores, we certified a set of 12 quantum yield standards, which absorb and emit in the wavelength range from 300 nm to 1000 nm.
The BAMline at the synchrotron X-ray source BESSY II (Berlin, Germany) is supporting researchers in a wide range of research areas since more than 20 years. These fields include biology, cultural heritage, medicine, and also materials science. As a non-destructive characterization method, synchrotron X-ray imaging, especially tomography with hard X-Rays, plays an important role in structural 3D characterization. A recent upgrade of key equipment at the BAMline expands the imaging capabilities towards shorter acquisition times. Therefore, in-situ and operando experiments can now be routinely conducted. Also, different energy resolutions can be set up to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired. This requires an adaptation of the used reconstruction methods in order to perform necessary analyses also during the experiment. In this presentation the equipment, data handling pipeline as well as various examples from material science are presented.
pH presents one of the most important analytes in the life and material sciences, indicating, e.g., diseases and corrosion processes. This includes the optical monitoring of pH in living cells for studying cellular internalization pathways, such as phagocytosis, endocytosis, and receptor mediated internalization with the aid of molecular and nanoscale fluorescent sensors. Nanoparticle (NP)-based sensors, that are labelled or stained with a multitude of sensor dyes, have several advantages as compared to conventional molecular probes like enhanced brightness, i.e., amplified signals, ease of designing ratiometric systems by combining analyte-sensitive and inert reference dyes, and increased photostability. Moreover, this can enable the use of hydrophobic dyes in aqueous environments. Versatile templates and carriers for the fabrication of nanosensors by staining and/or labelling with different fluorophores and sensor molecules are surface-functionalized particles like silica (SiO2) and polystyrene (PS) particles. Here we present a platform of blue-red-green fluorescent pH nanosensors for the measurement of acidic, neutral, and basic pH utilizing both types of matrices and two spectrally distinguishable sensor dyes with an integrated reference dye and demonstrate its applicability for cellular studies.
Several countries, which use or used nuclear power, started to destruct nuclear power plants. Thus, large amounts of radioactive waste have to be stored safely during the next decades. Large underground caverns will
be used a nuclear waste disposal. Once the cavern is full, a sealing construction is required. The sealing should avoid the contact to any fluids or substances of the storage barrels and reduce hazardous radiation.
Bei der simulationsunterstützten Planung kritischer Ultraschallprüfaufgaben ist die detaillierte Kenntnis der Parameter der eingesetzten Prüfköpfe von entscheidender Bedeutung. Durch die, in den Regelwerken (DIN EN ISO 22232-2) zugelassenen Toleranzen bei der Herstellung der Prüfköpfe sind einige Prüfkopfparameter nur ungefähr bekannt. Durch die Alterung von Prüfköpfen und Verschleiß können auch Parameter variieren, die nicht vollständig durch die erforderliche Justierung ausgeglichen werden können. Daher sind zusätzlichen Vorversuche oft unvermeidlich. In dieser Arbeit wurden nach einer statistischen Versuchsplanung (DoE) Untersuchungen zur relativen Echo-Empfindlichkeit von konventionellen Prüfköpfen durchgeführt. Die Auswertung wurde für prüfkopfbezogene und personenbezogene Stichproben durchgeführt. Es wird gezeigt, wie weit die Daten um den Zentralwert herum verteilt sind bzw. wie sehr sich das Testobjekt im untersuchten Merkmal unterscheidet. Gerade in Hinblick auf die Beurteilung der intrinsischen Fähigkeit von Prüfverfahren und der Human Factors wird das POD-Analysekonzept zur quantitativen Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit weiterentwickelt. Die HF-Quantifizierung bezieht sich auf verschiedene Faktoren und Methoden, die in der Veröffentlichung von M. Bertovic et al. [1] ausführlich beschrieben wurden. Die Schritte, die für das Bewertungsverfahren zur POD-Analyse erforderlich sind, werden in der Veröffentlichung von D. Kanzler et al. [2] detailliert dargestellt. Die grundlegenden Anforderungen an die Testkörpersätze für die POD-Analyse wurden in der Publikation von A. Jüngert et al. [3] zusammengefasst. Diesbezüglich wurden mit Hilfe von Simulationsrechnungen die möglichen Abweichungen an Beispielen der im Projekt norm- POD ausgewählten Prüfanordnungen dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse wurden Messungen an Testkörpern gegenübergestellt.
Photothermal characterization of polyester composites loaded with parallelly arranged graphite rods
(2022)
One of the biggest challenges in the measurement of thermal properties is to measure inhomogeneous materials This work focuses on measuring the thermal properties of cylindrical polyester resin composite materials loaded with graphite rods oriented in the direction of the resin thickness, varying the graphite concentrations starting from zero to 8 75 of volumetric fraction and changing the distribution of graphite rods inside the polyester matrix
The BAMline at the 3rd generation synchrotron X-ray source BESSY II has been supporting researchers in a wide range of research areas for over 20 years. In addition to materials science, these fields also include biology, cultural heritage, and medicine. Being a non-destructive characterization method, synchrotron X-ray imaging, in particular tomography (SXCT), plays a particularly important role in structural characterization. A recent upgrade of key BAMline equipment expands the imaging capabilities: The upgraded dual multilayer monochromator offers flexibility by providing different energy spectra to optimize flux and energy resolution as desired. Different spectra (8 – 60 keV with ΔE/E 0.01%, 1.5%, 4% and pink beam) can be selected. The upgraded detector (in white beam configuration, equipped with an sCMOS camera) allows the higher flux to be exploited with reduced readout times. Shorter tomographic acquisition times in the range of seconds are now possible. Hence, in-situ and operando examinations are routinely available. An integrated slip ring allows continuous rotation of the sample stage for ease of wiring. The pink beam option allows tomographic observation of processes occurring in the time domain of a few seconds with a resolution down to ~ 1 µm. Different scan methods, optimized for quality and speed are available and discussed. Examples of energy related materials from fuel cell and battery research are shown.
An optional end station allows refraction enhanced imaging (synchrotron X-Ray refraction radiography (SXRR) and tomography (SXRCT)). That includes an analyzer Si-crystal in Bragg alignment between sample and detector. This technique obtains sensitivity to smaller structures (cracks, pores) down to a few wavelengths, while obtaining field of view sizes in the range of several mm. Besides medicine (e.g., teeth explants), several applications are found in material science, like studies on diesel particulate filters, ceramics, additively manufactured (AM) alloys and metal matrix composites (MMC). The in-situ capabilities include mechanical load (tension and compression) and heating up to 1100°C. A case study, the microstructural evolution during heat treatment of an AM AlSi10Mg, will be shown.
Responsible treatment of the environment and resources is a key element of sustainability. The building and construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources. Consequently, there is a particular need for regulations and technologies that help to create closed material cycles. From the technological point of view, such efforts are complicated by the growing material diversity and the amount of composites contained in present and future construction and demolition waste (CDW). Nowadays, simple but proven techniques like manual sorting are mainly used. However, this practice not only poses health risks and dangers to the staff performing the work, but also relies on merely obvious, visually striking differences. Automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions. The preliminary results for the identification of a wide variety of building materials with LIBS are presented.
Die Optimierung und Validierung des digitalen Wasserstofftankstellenmanagements mit Sensortechnologien ist das übergeordnete Ziel des Teilprojekts Digitale Qualitätsinfrastruktur mit Sensortechnologien (QIST) am Use Case H2, im Rahmen der digitalen Qualitätsinfrastruktur (QI digital[1]). Hierfür sollen u.a. Sensornetzwerke mit digital-gestützten Auswertungsstrategien intelligent gestaltet werden (Stichwort KI bzw. digitaler Zwilling). Verschiedene, sich ergänzende Sensoren, Systemkomponenten und KI-Methoden stehen als Bausteine intelligenter Sensorsysteme zur Verfügung, mit dem Zweck, die physikalischen und chemischen Parameter an und in Anlagen umfassend und effizient zu überwachen sowie Fehlfunktionen zuverlässig zu detektieren und zu interpretieren, Abbildung 1.

The residual stresses and load transfer in multiphase metal alloys and their composites (with both random planar-oriented short fibers and particles) will be shown, as studied by neutron diffraction, by X-ray computed tomography, and by a model based on the reformulation of classic Maxwell’s homogenization method.
Contrary to common understanding and state-of-the-art models, we experimentally observe that randomly oriented phases possess non-hydrostatic residual stress. Moreover, we disclose that the unreinforced matrix alloy stays under hydrostatic compression even under external uniaxial compression.
The recently developed modeling approach allows calculating the residual stress in all phases of the composites. It rationalizes the presence of deviatoric stresses accounting for the interaction of random oriented phases with fibers having preferential orientation. It also allows the explanation of the unconventional in-situ behavior of the unreinforced alloy and the prediction of the micromechanical behavior of other similar alloys.
The European Metrology Network (EMN) for Advanced Manufacturing has been established in June 2021. Currently nine EMNs focussing on different important topics of strategic importance for Europe exist and form an integral part of EURAMET, the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (NMI). EMNs are tasked to ▪ develop a high-level coordination of the metrology community in Europe in a close dialogue with the respective stakeholders (SH)
▪ develop a strategic research agenda (SRA) within their thematic areas
▪ provide contributions to the European Partnership on Metrology research programme Based on the analysis of existing metrology infrastructures and capabilities of NMIs, the metrology research needs for advanced manufacturing are identified in close cooperation with academic, governmental and industrial stakeholders.
Here, we report on the progress of the EMN for Advanced Manufacturing.
In order to detect small and hidden material defects or micro-cracks, weak and localized magnetic stray fields need to be detected and characterized on the magnetic surface. Current flux leakage sensor elements are rigid and rely on air gaps to detect stray fields several hundred micrometers above the surface. Furthermore, the increasing complexity of critical components, enabled by novel fabrication technologies, primarily additive manufacturing, poses a significant challenge to the available flux leakage testing technologies.
The emergence of flexible magneto-electronics paves the way to a compliant form of magnetic sensors that, on one hand, are able to adapt to highly curved surfaces, allowing these measurements to be conducted on irregularly formed components, which are inaccessible for nowadays electromagnetic NDT equipment and, on the other hand, could enhance the detection limit for small magnetic stray fields, by allowing the magneto-sensitive elements to approximate the object’s surface until only a few µm, mediated by thin and flexible packaging.
Probability based taxonomic profiling of viral and microbiome samples using PepGM and Unipept
(2022)
In mass spectrometry based proteomics, protein homology leads to many shared peptides within and between species. This complicates
taxonomic inference in samples of unknown taxonomic origin. PepGM uses a graphical model for taxonomic profiling of viral proteomes and
metaproteomic datasets providing taxonomic confidence scores. To build the graphical model, a list of potentially present taxa needs to be
inferred. To this end, we integrate Unipept, which enables the fast querying of potentially present taxa. Together, they allow for taxonomic
inference with statistically sound confidence scores.

Introduction:
With the introduction of accurate deep learning predictors, spectral matching applications might experience a renaissance in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) driven proteomics. Deep learning models, e.g., Prosit, predict complete MS/MS spectra from peptide sequences and give the unprecedented ability to accurately predict mass spectra that may arise from any given proteome. However, the amount of spectral data is enormous when querying large search spaces, e.g., metaproteomes composed of many different species.
Current spectral library search software, such as SpectraST, is not equipped to meet run time and memory constraints imposed by such large MS/MS databases, covering several millions of peptide spectrum predictions.
Methods:
Inspired by the fragment index data structure that had been introduced with MSFragger, we implement an efficient peak matching algorithm for computing spectral similarity between query and library spectra. Mistle (Metaproteomic index and spectral library search engine) uses index partitioning and SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) intrinsics, which greatly improves speed and memory efficiency for searching large spectral libraries. Mistle is written in C++20 and highly parallelized.
Results:
We demonstrate the efficiency of Mistle on two predicted spectral libraries for the lab-assembled microbial communities 9MM and SIHUMIx. Compared to the spectral library search engine SpectraST, Mistle shows a >10-fold runtime improvement and is also faster than msSLASH, which uses locality-sensitive hashing. Although Mistle is slower than MSFragger, Mistle‘s memory footprint is an order of magnitude smaller. Furthermore, we find evidence that the spectral matching approach to predicted libraries identifies peptides with higher precision. Mistle detects peptides not found by database search via MSFragger and in turn uncovers unnoticed false discoveries among their matches.
Conclusion:
In this study, we show that predicted spectral libraries can enhance peptide identification for metaproteomics. Mistle provides the means to efficiently search large-scale spectral libraries, highlighted for the microbiota 9MM and SIHUMIx.
Ellipsometry enables the investigation of material properties over a broad spectral range. As a fast and non-destructive method, it is widely used in industry for quality assurance. Despite the wide application of ellipsometry and its high industrial relevance there are some material-specific standards and there have been no generally accepted standards dealing with model validation and measurement uncertainties. The first German standard DIN50989-1: 2018 Ellipsometry – Part1: Principles (currently international standard ISO 23131: 2021) marks the beginning of a 6-part standard series for ellipsometry, which was developed under consideration of GUM.
