Need for In Operando Characterization of Electrochemical Interface Features

The problems of understanding the electrode reaction kinetics and in particular the degradation of the kinetics destroying the electrode performance, is briefly described. This is followed by an analysis of information that is needed and which knowledge may be acquired by available in operando and in situ techniques. The latter is illustrated by some examples. Further, it is discussed how research may be improved by refining and combining the available methods. Finally, possible research strategies are discussed.</jats:p

In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy in Materials Science - Possibilities and Prospects

The development of organized, informative, robust, user-friendly, and freely accessible molecular markers is imperative to the Musa marker assisted breeding program. Although several hundred SSR markers have already been developed, the number of informative, robust, and freely accessible Musa markers remains inadequate for some breeding applications. In view of this issue, we surveyed SSRs in four different data sets, developed large-scale non-redundant highly informative therapeutic SSR markers, and classified them according to their attributes, as well as analyzed their cross-taxon transferability and utility for the genetic study of Musa and its relatives. A high SSR frequency (177 per Mbp) was found in the Musa genome. AT-rich dinucleotide repeats are predominant, and trinucleotide repeats are the most abundant in transcribed regions. A significant number of Musa SSRs are associated with pre-miRNAs, and 83% of these SSRs are promising candidates for the development of therapeutic SSR markers. Overall, 74% of the SSR markers were polymorphic, and 94% were transferable to at least one Musa spp. Two hundred forty-three markers generated a total of 1047 alleles, with 2-8 alleles each and an average of 4.38 alleles per locus. The PIC values ranged from 0.31 to 0.89 and averaged 0.71. We report the largest set of non-redundant, polymorphic, new SSR markers to be developed in Musa. These additional markers could be a valuable resource for marker-assisted breeding, genetic diversity and genomic studies of Musa and related species

Følelsernes opdragelse

The essay discusses the role of affect and emotions in Yvonne Rainer's autobiography 'feelings are facts. a life' from 2006 in relation to her films and choreographic work. Buchmann traces the emotional impact on Rainer's formalist work and argues that the autobiography may be seen as a supplementary work to Rainer's artistic work. Implicitly, Buchmann raises the question of how emotional strength may be used as an artistic force
