New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are used in biomedical research, pharmacology, toxicology, cancer research, radiotherapy, and translational regenerative medicine. Various types of human cells grow as 3D spheroids or organoids when exposed to µg-conditions provided by µg simulating instruments on Earth.

This review summarizes the most recent literature focusing on µg-engineered tissues. We are discussing all reports examining different tumor cell types from breast, lung, thyroid, prostate, and gastrointestinal cancers. Moreover, we are focusing on µg-generated spheroids and organoids derived from healthy cells like chondrocytes, stem cells, bone cells, endothelial cells, and cardiovascular cells.

One significant source of potential vulnerabilities is medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS). Detecting intrusions in this environment faces challenges different from other domains, mainly due to the heterogeneity of devices, the diversity of connectivity types, and the variety of terminology. To summarize existing results, we conducted a structured literature review (SLR) following the guidelines of Kitchenham et al. for SLRs in software engineering. We developed six research questions regarding detection approach, detection location, included features, adversarial focus, utilized datasets, and intrusion prevention. We identified that most researchers focused on an anomaly-based detection approach at the network layer. The primary focus was on the detection of malicious insiders. While several researchers used publicly available datasets for training and testing their algorithms, the lack of suitable datasets resulted in the development of testbeds consisting of various medical devices. Based on the results, we formulated five future research topics. First, the special conditions of hospital networks, the MCPS deployed within them, and the contrasts to other IT and OT environments should be examined. Thereupon, MCPS-specific datasets should be created that allow researchers to address the health domain's unique requirements and possibilities. At the same time, endeavors aimed at standardization in this area should be supported and expanded. Moreover, the use of medical context for attack detection should be further explored. Last but not least, efforts for MCPS-tailored intrusion prevention should be intensified. This way, the emerging threat landscape can be addressed, IT security in hospitals can be improved, and patient health can be protected.}, language = {en} } @article{WangHarthPuzyrevetal.2022, author = {Wang, Jing and Harth, Kirsten and Puzyrev, Dmitry and Stannarius, Ralf}, title = {The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres}, series = {New Journal of Physics}, volume = {24}, journal = {New Journal of Physics}, publisher = {IOP}, doi = {10.1088/1367-2630/ac8bea}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{VollmerMoellmann2020, author = {Vollmer, Michael and M{\"o}llmann, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Unsichtbares sichtbar gemacht: Infrarotkameras f{\"u}r Smartphones}, series = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, volume = {51}, journal = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/piuz.201901551}, pages = {29 -- 35}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{VollmerMoellmann2020, author = {Vollmer, Michael and M{\"o}llmann, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Wenn Licht die Biege macht}, series = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, volume = {51}, journal = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/piuz.202001569}, pages = {46 -- 47}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{VollmerEberhardt2024, author = {Vollmer, Michael and Eberhardt, Wolfgang}, title = {Ein einfaches Modell f{\"u}r die Vorhersage von CO2 Konzentrationen in der Atmosph{\"a}re in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von globalen CO2 Emissionen}, series = {PhyDid B, Didaktik der Physik, Beitr{\"a}ge zur DPG-Fr{\"u}hjahrstagung}, volume = {1}, journal = {PhyDid B, Didaktik der Physik, Beitr{\"a}ge zur DPG-Fr{\"u}hjahrstagung}, number = {1}, publisher = {FU Berlin}, organization = {Fachverband Didaktik der Physik}, issn = {2191-379X}, pages = {379 -- 388}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Es wird das vielleicht einfachst m{\"o}gliche Modell vorgestellt, mit dem zeitabh{\"a}ngige CO2 Konzent-rationen c(t) in der Atmosph{\"a}re ausgehend von verschiedenen globalen Emissionsszenarien f{\"u}r CO2berechnet werden.

Many celestial objects like stars and galaxies as well as transient phenomena such as comets and supernovae can be observed in the night sky. We discuss the furthest distances of such objects and phenomena observable with the naked eye during the night-time for Earth-bound observers. The physics of night-time visual ranges differs from that of daytime observations because human vision shifts from cones to rods. In addition, mostly point sources are observed due to the large distances involved. Whether celestial objects and phenomena can be detected depends on the contrast of their radiation and the background sky luminance. We present a concise overview of how far we can see at night by first discussing the effects of the Earth's atmosphere. This includes attenuation of transmitted radiation as well as its role as a source of background radiation. Disregarding the attenuation of light due to interstellar and intergalactic dust, simple maximum night-time visual range estimates are based on the inverse square law, which can be easily verified by laboratory and demonstration experiments. From the respective calculations, we find that individual stars within the Milky Way galaxy of up to 15 000 light years are observable. Even further away are observable galaxies with several billion stars. The Andromeda galaxy can be observed with the naked eye at a distance of around 2.5 million light years. Similarly, the observability of supernovae also allows a visual range beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Finally, gamma ray bursts as the most energetic events in the universe are discussed concerning naked eye observations.}, language = {en} } @article{Vollmer2025, author = {Vollmer, Michael}, title = {How far can we see at day?}, series = {European Journal of Physics}, volume = {46}, journal = {European Journal of Physics}, number = {3}, publisher = {IOP Science}, doi = {10.1088/1361-6404/adc4a0}, pages = {17}, year = {2025}, abstract = {We discuss the farthest objects on Earth observable for the unaided, healthy naked eye during the daytime, i.e., the maximum visual range for observers on Earth. Visual range depends first on the properties of the material between observer and object and its interaction processes with radiation, but second also on our visual perception system. After a rough comparison of ranges in water, glass, and the atmosphere, we focus on the physical basis of visual range for the latter. As a contrast phenomenon, visual range refers to allowed light paths within the atmosphere. It results from the interplay of geometry, refraction, and light scattering. We present a concise overview of this field by qualitative descriptions and quantitative estimates as well as classroom demonstration experiments. The starting point is the common geometrical visual ranges, followed by extensions due to refraction and limitations due to contrast, which depend on scattering and absorption processes within the atmosphere. The quantitative discussion of scattering is very helpful to easily understand the huge ranges in nature from meters in dense fog to hundreds of kilometers in clear atmospheres. Extreme visual ranges from about 300 km to above 500 km require optimal atmospheric conditions, cleverly chosen locations and times, and a sophisticated topography analysis. Even longer visual ranges are possible when looking through the vertical atmosphere. From the ISS, daytime ranges well above 1000 km are possible.}, language = {en} } @article{Vollmer2026, author = {Vollmer, Michael}, title = {How many stars appear colored to the naked eye?}, series = {Applied Optics}, volume = {65}, journal = {Applied Optics}, number = {9}, publisher = {Optica Publishing Group}, doi = {10.1364/AO.580635}, pages = {C27 -- C37}, year = {2026}, abstract = {Naked eye studies of the clear night sky reveal that a certain percentage of all observable stars can be perceived as having color. Subjective estimates differ widely, ranging from just a few to a maximum of above two hundred. Explanations are based on the emission spectra of the stars, which are modified by interstellar dust clouds, the Earth atmosphere, and mostly the inverse square law. Color changes occur not only for variation of the star's angular elevation above the horizon, but as well for decreasing nighttime sky brightness due to the transition from photopic via mesopic to scotopic vision. The maximum number of stars showing color to the naked eye depends on star illuminances on Earth and the background sky luminance. The limit of observing color is found to correspond to apparent visual magnitudes around , defining the number of colored stars. This also means that naked eye perception of stars with color is only possible for a certain star distance range, which is well below the maximum naked eye visual range of stars.}, language = {en} } @article{VogelWoelferRamirezDiazetal.2020, author = {Vogel, Sven and W{\"o}lfer, Christian and Ramirez-Diaz, Diego and Flassig, Robert and Sundmacher, Kai and Schwille, Petra}, title = {Symmetry Breaking and Emergence of Directional Flows in Minimal Actomyosin Cortices}, series = {Cells}, journal = {Cells}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.3390/cells9061432}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Cortical actomyosin flows, among other mechanisms, scale up spontaneous symmetry breaking and thus play pivotal roles in cell differentiation, division, and motility. According to many model systems, myosin motor-induced local contractions of initially isotropic actomyosin cortices are nucleation points for generating cortical flows. However, the positive feedback mechanisms by which spontaneous contractions can be amplified towards large-scale directed flows remain mostly speculative. To investigate such a process on spherical surfaces, we reconstituted and confined initially isotropic minimal actomyosin cortices to the interfaces of emulsion droplets. The presence of ATP leads to myosin-induced local contractions that self-organize and amplify into directed large-scale actomyosin flows. By combining our experiments with theory, we found that the feedback mechanism leading to a coordinated directional motion of actomyosin clusters can be described as asymmetric cluster vibrations, caused by intrinsic non-isotropic ATP consumption with spatial confinement. We identified fingerprints of vibrational states as the basis of directed motions by tracking individual actomyosin clusters. These vibrations may represent a generic key driver of directed actomyosin flows under spatial confinement in vitro and in living systems.}, language = {en} } @article{VaherTammSalusetal.2023, author = {Vaher, Ivi and Tamm, Anna-Liisa and Salus, Marit and Reisberg, Kirkke and V{\"a}hi, Aleksandra and Pallon, Helena and Paeste, Andra and Pirk, B{\"a}thel-Betty and Merila, Margus and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Effectiveness of massage chair and classic massage in recovery from physical exertion: a pilot study}, series = {Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation}, number = {7}, publisher = {HSPI}, doi = {10.29328/journal.jnpr.1001050}, pages = {8 -- 15}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Quick and cost-effective recovery is foundational to high-quality training and good competition results in today's sports.
