The publication of the proposed EFSA risk assessment for pollinators resulted in an increasing demand for experiments with non-Apis pollinators (EFSA 2013).However, no official guideline for the standardized semifield trials exists so far.To overcome this lack of guidance, the development of semi-field study designs are under way.The methodology is
Photobleaching Kinetics and Time-Integrated Emission of Fluorescent Probes in Cellular Membranes
Since the pioneering work of Hirschfeld, it is known that time-integrated emission (TiEm) of a fluorophore is independent of fluorescence quantum yield and illumination intensity.Practical implementation of this important result for determining exact probe GEMS MINTS PEPPERMINT distribution in living cells is often hampered by the presence of autof
Encounters of Indic-Abrahamic Religions with Matriliny in Premodern Southern India
This article engages with the matrilineal communities of the Indian Ocean littoral with a focus on the southern Indian context.The matrilineal system was one of the most convenient features in Nursing the context of the Indian Ocean trade.In their transregional journeys, maritime itinerants stayed in one place for months or even a year, depending o
A Robust Conic Programming Approximation to Design an EMS in Monopolar DC Networks with a High Penetration of PV Plants
This research addresses the problem regarding the efficient operation of photovoltaic (PV) plants in monopolar direct current (DC) distribution networks from a perspective of convex optimization.PV plant operation is formulated as a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem while considering two single-objective functions: the minimization of the expecte
