Implementation of -omics era technologies has challenged this paradigm, with comparative analyses providing increased insight into the differences between strains of the same species. The implementation of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic approaches has revealed distinct profiles between toxin-producing and non-toxic strains. Further, metagenomics and metaproteomics highlight the genomic potential and functional state of toxic bloom events over time. In this review, we highlight how these technologies have shaped our understanding of the complex relationship between these molecules, their producers and the environment at large within which they persist.}, language = {en} } @misc{BuergerMagdansGies2016, author = {B{\"u}rger, Andreas and Magdans, Uta and Gies, Hermann}, title = {Adsorption of amino acids on the magnetite-(111)-surface: a force field study (vol 19, 851, 2013)}, series = {Journal of molecular modeling}, volume = {22}, journal = {Journal of molecular modeling}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {1610-2940}, doi = {10.1007/s00894-016-3124-8}, pages = {3}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{TetaliJankowskiLuetzowetal.2016, author = {Tetali, Sarada D. and Jankowski, Vera and Luetzow, Karola and Kratz, Karl and Lendlein, Andreas and Jankowski, Joachim}, title = {Adsorption capacity of poly(ether imide) microparticles to uremic toxins}, series = {Clinical hemorheology and microcirculation : blood flow and vessels}, volume = {61}, journal = {Clinical hemorheology and microcirculation : blood flow and vessels}, publisher = {IOS Press}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1386-0291}, doi = {10.3233/CH-152026}, pages = {657 -- 665}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Uremia is a phenomenon caused by retention of uremic toxins in the plasma due to functional impairment of kidneys in the elimination of urinary waste products. Uremia is presently treated by dialysis techniques like hemofiltration, dialysis or hemodiafiltration. However, these techniques in use are more favorable towards removing hydrophilic than hydrophobic uremic toxins. Hydrophobic uremic toxins, such as hydroxy hipuric acid (OH-HPA), phenylacetic acid (PAA), indoxyl sulfate (IDS) and p-cresylsulfate (pCRS), contribute substantially to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, objective of the present study is to test adsorption capacity of highly porous microparticles prepared from poly(ether imide) (PEI) as an alternative technique for the removal of uremic toxins. Two types of nanoporous, spherically shaped microparticles were prepared from PEI by a spraying/coagulation process. PEI particles were packed into a preparative HPLC column to which a mixture of the four types of uremic toxins was injected and eluted with ethanol. Eluted toxins were quantified by analytical HPLC. PEI particles were able to adsorb all four toxins, with the highest affinity for PAA and pCR. IDS and OH-HPA showed a partially non-reversible binding. In summary, PEI particles are interesting candidates to be explored for future application in CKD.}, language = {en} } @article{RichterSchulzSubkowskietal.2016, author = {Richter, Marina Juliane and Schulz, Alexander and Subkowski, Thomas and B{\"o}ker, Alexander}, title = {Adsorption and rheological behavior of an amphiphilic protein at oil/water interfaces}, series = {Journal of colloid and interface science}, volume = {479}, journal = {Journal of colloid and interface science}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0021-9797}, doi = {10.1016/j.jcis.2016.06.062}, pages = {199 -- 206}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Hydrophobins are highly surface active proteins which self-assemble at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces into amphipathic membranes. We investigate hydrophobin self-assembly at oil/water interfaces to deepen the understanding of protein behavior in order to improve our biomimetic synthesis. Therefore, we carried out pendant drop measurements of hydrophobin stabilized oil/water systems determining the time-dependent IFT and the dilatational rheology with additional adaptation to the Serrien protein model. We show that the class I hydrophobin H*Protein B adsorbs at an oil/water interface where it forms a densely-packed interfacial protein layer, which dissipates energy during droplet oscillation. Furthermore, the interfacial protein layer exhibits shear thinning behavior. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.

This study analyzed how students' perceptions of parents' beliefs and behaviors and students' mathematics values and mathematics-related career plans affect each other bidirectionally, and analyzed the role of students' gender as a moderator of these relations. Data from 475 students in 11th and 12th grade (girls: 50.3\%; 31 classrooms; 12 schools), who participated in 2 waves of the study, were analyzed. Results of longitudinal structural equation models demonstrated that students' perceptions of their parents' mathematics value beliefs at Time 1 affected the students' own mathematics utility value at Time 2. Bidirectional effects were not shown in the full sample but were identified for boys. The paths within the tested model varied for boys and girls. For example, boys', not girls', mathematics intrinsic value predicted their reported conversations with their fathers about future occupational plans. Boys', not girls', perceived parents' mathematics value predicted the mathematics utility value. Findings are discussed in relation to their implications for parents and teachers, as well as in relation to gendered motivational processes.}, language = {en} } @article{BrauneGrossWalteretal.2016, author = {Braune, Steffen and Gross, M. and Walter, M. and Zhou, Shengqiang and Dietze, Siegfried and Rutschow, S. and Lendlein, Andreas and Tschoepe, C. and Jung, Friedrich}, title = {Adhesion and activation of platelets from subjects with coronary artery disease and apparently healthy individuals on biomaterials}, series = {Journal of biomedical materials research : an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, the Japanese Society for Biomaterials; the Australian Society for Biomaterials}, volume = {104}, journal = {Journal of biomedical materials research : an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, the Japanese Society for Biomaterials; the Australian Society for Biomaterials}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1552-4973}, doi = {10.1002/jbm.b.33366}, pages = {210 -- 217}, year = {2016}, abstract = {On the basis of the clinical studies in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) presenting an increased percentage of activated platelets, we hypothesized that hemocompatibility testing utilizing platelets from healthy individuals may result in an underestimation of the materials' thrombogenicity. Therefore, we investigated the interaction of polymer-based biomaterials with platelets from CAD patients in comparison to platelets from apparently healthy individuals. In vitro static thrombogenicity tests revealed that adherent platelet densities and total platelet covered areas were significantly increased for the low (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) and medium (Collagen) thrombogenic surfaces in the CAD group compared to the healthy subjects group. The area per single platelet—indicating the spreading and activation of the platelets—was markedly increased on PDMS treated with PRP from CAD subjects. This could not be observed for collagen or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). For the latter material, platelet adhesion and surface coverage did not differ between the two groups. Irrespective of the substrate, the variability of these parameters was increased for CAD patients compared to healthy subjects. This indicates a higher reactivity of platelets from CAD patients compared to the healthy individuals. Our results revealed, for the first time, that utilizing platelets from apparently healthy donors bears the risk of underestimating the thrombogenicity of polymer-based biomaterials.}, language = {en} } @article{GerthDolkKlassertetal.2016, author = {Gerth, Sabrina and Dolk, Thomas and Klassert, Annegret and Fliesser, Michael and Fischer, Martin H. and Nottbusch, Guido and Festman, Julia}, title = {Adapting to the surface: A comparison of handwriting measures when writing on a tablet computer and on paper}, series = {Human movement science : a journal devoted to pure and applied research on human movement}, volume = {48}, journal = {Human movement science : a journal devoted to pure and applied research on human movement}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-9457}, doi = {10.1016/j.humov.2016.04.006}, pages = {62 -- 73}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Our study addresses the following research questions: Are there differences between handwriting movements on paper and on a tablet computer? Can experienced writers, such as most adults, adapt their graphomotor execution during writing to a rather unfamiliar surface for instance a tablet computer? We examined the handwriting performance of adults in three tasks with different complexity: (a) graphomotor abilities, (b) visuomotor abilities and (c) handwriting. Each participant performed each task twice, once on paper and once on a tablet computer with a pen. We tested 25 participants by measuring their writing duration, in air time, number of pen lifts, writing velocity and number of inversions in velocity. The data were analyzed using linear mixed-effects modeling with repeated measures. Our results reveal differences between writing on paper and on a tablet computer which were partly task-dependent. Our findings also show that participants were able to adapt their graphomotor execution to the smoother surface of the tablet computer during the tasks. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
