This work presents the results of an accurate real-time microwave characterization of low-molecular-weight antioxidant biomarkers in low-volume solutions using a high-Q whispering gallery-mode dielectric resonator with a microfluidic channel. Sodium ascorbate and glutathione were characterized as the most significant non-enzymatic biomarkers of oxidative stress with respect to the reactive oxygen species scavenging system of cells. [...]

The spring school “Physics of Life” provides an introduction to and an overview of current researchtopics in biophysics of living systems, with an emphasis on understanding biological structure, dynamicsand function. Biomolecules, cells, tissues, and their multiscale interactions are the main buildingblocks of biological organisms. [...]

It is an important tradition that the John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) holds biennial symposia, accompanied by proceedings volumes. The present meeting, held on February 22 and 23, 2018, is the 9th NIC symposium in this century; actually the forerunner of today’s NIC, the "Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum (HLRZ)" founded in 1987, held similar meetings in a somewhat different format.
