  abstract  = {Integrated and concurrent cultures in rice fields are a promising approach to sustainable farming as the demand for aquacultural and agricultural products continues to grow while land and water resources become increasingly scarce. Prawn farming mainly takes place in coastal regions in improved extensive to semi-intensive aquacultures but a trend to shift the industry to inland regions has been noticed. This inland study in Northern Bangladesh used different input regimes such as fertilizer and additional feed to compare the performance of prawn and fish in flooded paddy fields in regard to water quality measurements. Maximal net yields and body weight gain with minimized negative impact on water quality were found when initial body weights of prawn were optimized. Regarding yield factors in reference to the reduction of costs due to the avoidance of expensive fertilizer/feed and effort, prawn performed better than integrated fish cultures considering a higher market value of prawn with net yields of up to 97 +/- 55 kg ha(-1) for unfed and 151 +/- 61 kg ha(-1) for fed treatments. Rice yields of up to 4.7 +/- 0.1 t ha(-1) for unfed and 4.4 +/- 0.1 t ha(-1) were achieved for fed treatments. The findings suggest that for small scale farmers, prawn cum rice cultures are an economically profitable and comparatively easily manageable alternative to rice cum fish cultures.},

  abstract  = {Management of data to produce scientific knowledge is a key challenge for biological research in the 21st century. Emerging high-throughput technologies allow life science researchers to produce big data at speeds and in amounts that were unthinkable just a few years ago. This places high demands on all aspects of the workflow: from data capture (including the experimental constraints of the experiment), analysis and preservation, to peer-reviewed publication of results. Failure to recognise the issues at each level can lead to serious conflicts and mistakes; research may then be compromised as a result of the publication of non-coherent protocols, or the misinterpretation of published data. In this report, we present the results from a workshop that was organised to create an ontological data-modelling framework for Laboratory Protocol Standards for the Molecular Methods Database (MolMeth). The workshop provided a set of short- and long-term goals for the MolMeth database, the most important being the decision to use the established EXACT description of biomedical ontologies as a starting point.},

  abstract  = {Escherichia (E.) coli ist als kommensales Bakterium ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Mikrobioms von S{\"a}ugern, jedoch zudem der h{\"a}ufigste Infektionserreger des Menschen. Entsprechend des Infektionsortes werden intestinal (InPEC) und extraintestinal pathogene E. coli (ExPEC) unterschieden. Die Pathogenese von E. coli-Infektionen ist durch Virulenzfaktoren determiniert, welche von jeweils spezifischen virulenzassoziierten Genen (inVAGs und exVAGs) kodiert werden. H{\"a}ufig werden exVAGs auch in E. coli-Isolaten aus dem Darm gesunder Wirte nachgewiesen. Dies f{\"u}hrte zu der Vermutung, dass exVAGs die intestinale Kolonisierung des Wirtes durch E. coli unterst{\"u}tzen. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit bestand darin, das Wissen {\"u}ber den Einfluss von exVAGs auf die Besiedlung und damit die Adh{\"a}sion von E. coli an Epithelzellen des Darmtraktes zu erweitern. Die Durchf{\"u}hrung einer solch umfassenden E. coli-Populationsstudie erforderte die Etablierung neuer Screeningmethoden. F{\"u}r die genotypische Charakterisierung wurden mikropartikelbasierte Multiplex-PCR-Assays zum Nachweis von 44 VAGs und der Phylogenie etabliert. F{\"u}r die ph{\"a}notypische Charakterisierung wurden Adh{\"a}sions- und Zytotoxizit{\"a}tsassays etabliert. Die Screeningmethoden basieren auf der VideoScan-Technologie, einem automatisierten bildbasierten Multifluoreszenzdetektionssystem. Es wurden 398 E. coli-Isolate aus 13 Wilds{\"a}ugerarten und 5 Wildvogelarten sowie aus gesunden und harnwegserkrankten Menschen und Hausschweinen charakterisiert. Die Adh{\"a}sionsassays hatten zum Ziel, sowohl die Adh{\"a}sionsraten als auch die Adh{\"a}sionsmuster der 317 nicht h{\"a}molytischen Isolate auf 5 Epithelzelllinien zu bestimmen. Die Zytotoxizit{\"a}t der 81 h{\"a}molytischen Isolate wurde in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Inkubationszeit auf 4 Epithelzelllinien gepr{\"u}ft. In den E. coli-Isolaten wurde eine Reihe von VAGs nachgewiesen. Potentielle InPEC, insbesondere shigatoxinproduzierende und enteropathogene E. coli wurden aus Menschen, Hausschweinen und Wildtieren, vor allem aus Rehen und Feldhasen isoliert. exVAGs wurden mit stark variierender Pr{\"a}valenz in Isolaten aus allen Arten detektiert. Die gr{\"o}ßte Anzahl und das breiteste Spektrum an exVAGs wurde in Isolaten aus Urin harnwegserkrankter Menschen, gefolgt von Isolaten aus Dachsen und Rehen nachgewiesen. In Isolaten der phylogenetischen Gruppe B2 wurden mehr exVAGs detektiert als in den Isolaten der phylogenetischen Gruppen A, B1 und D. Die Ergebnisse der Adh{\"a}sionsassays zeigten, dass die meisten Isolate zelllinien-, gewebe- oder wirtsspezifisch adh{\"a}rierten. Ein Drittel der Isolate adh{\"a}rierte an keiner Zelllinie und nur zwei Isolate adh{\"a}rierten stark an allen Zelllinien. Grunds{\"a}tzlich adh{\"a}rierten mehr Isolate an humanen sowie an intestinalen Zelllinien. Besonders Isolate aus Eichh{\"o}rnchen und Amseln sowie aus Urin harnwegserkrankter Menschen und Hausschweine waren in der Lage, stark zu adh{\"a}rieren. Hierbei bildeten die Isolate als Adh{\"a}sionsmuster diffuse Adh{\"a}sion, Mikrokolonien, Ketten und Agglomerationen. Mittels statistischer Analysen wurden Assoziationen zwischen exVAGs und einer hohen Adh{\"a}sionsrate ersichtlich. So war beispielsweise das Vorkommen von afa/dra mit einer h{\"o}heren Adh{\"a}sionsrate auf Caco-2- und 5637-Zellen und von sfa/foc auf IPEC-J2-Zellen assoziiert. Die Ergebnisse der Zytotoxizit{\"a}tsassays zeigten eine sehr starke und zeitabh{\"a}ngige Zerst{\"o}rung der Monolayer aller Epithelzelllinien durch die α-H{\"a}molysin-positiven Isolate. Auffallend war die hohe Toxizit{\"a}t h{\"a}molytischer Isolate aus Wildtieren gegen{\"u}ber den humanen Zelllinien. Mit den innerhalb dieser Arbeit entwickelten Screeningmethoden war es m{\"o}glich, große Mengen an Bakterien zu charakterisieren. Es konnte ein {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber die Verbreitung von VAGs in E. coli aus unterschiedlichen Wirten gewonnen werden. Besonders Wildtiere wurden sowohl durch den Nachweis von VAGs in den entsprechenden Isolaten, verbunden mit deren Adh{\"a}sionsf{\"a}higkeit und ausgepr{\"a}gter Zytotoxizit{\"a}t als Reservoire pathogener E. coli identifiziert. Ebenso wurde eine zelllinienspezifische Adh{\"a}sion von Isolaten mit bestimmten exVAGs deutlich. Damit konnte der m{\"o}gliche Einfluss von exVAGs auf die intestinale Kolonisierung best{\"a}tigt werden. In weiterf{\"u}hrenden Arbeiten sind jedoch Expressions- und Funktionsanalysen der entsprechenden Proteine unerl{\"a}sslich. Es wird anhand der Mikrokoloniebildung durch kommensale E. coli vermutet, dass Adh{\"a}sionsmuster und demzufolge Kolonisierungsstrategien, die bisher pathogenen E. coli zugeschrieben wurden, eher als generelle Kolonisierungsstrategien zu betrachten sind. Das E. coli-α-H{\"a}molysin wirkt im Allgemeinen zytotoxisch auf Epithelzellen. Ein in der Fachliteratur diskutierter adh{\"a}sionsunterst{\"u}tzender Mechanismus dieses Toxins ist demnach fragw{\"u}rdig. Innerhalb dieser Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass die entwickelten Screeningmethoden umfassende Analysen einer großen Anzahl an E. coli-Isolaten erm{\"o}glichen.},

  abstract  = {The human face shows individual features and features that are characteristic for sex and age (the loss of childlike characteristics during maturation). The analysis of facial dimensions is essential for identifying individual features also for forensic issues. The analysis of facial proportions was performed on photogrammetric data from front views of 125 children. The data were pooled from 2 different studies. The children's data were obtained from a longitudinal study and reduced by random generator to ensure the data of adults from a separate cross-sectional study. We applied principal component analysis on photogrammetric facial proportions of 169 individuals: 125 children (63 boys and 62 girls) aged 2-7 years and 44 adults (18 men and 26 women) aged 18-65 years. Facial proportions depend on age and sex. Three components described age: (1) proportions of facial height to head height, (2) proportions that involve endocanthal breadth, and (3) bigonial to bizygonial proportions. Proportions that associate with sex are connected with nasal distances and nasal to bizygonial distances. Twenty-three percent of the variance, particularly variance that are connected with proportions of lower and middle face heights to head height, do neither depend on sex nor on age and thus appear useful for screening purposes, eg, for dysmorphic genetic syndromes.},

  abstract  = {Isolation of recombinant antibodies from antibody libraries is commonly performed by different molecular display formats including phage display and ribosome display or different cell-surface display formats. We describe a new method which allows the selection of Escherichia coil cells producing the required single chain antibody by cultivation in presence of ampicillin conjugated to the antigen of interest. The method utilizes the neutralization of the conjugate by the produced single chain antibody which is secreted to the periplasm. Therefore, a new expression system based on the pET26b vector was designed and a library was constructed. The method was successfully established first for the selection of E. coli BL21 Star (DE3) cells expressing a model single chain antibody (anti-fluorescein) by a simple selection assay on LB-agar plates. Using this selection assay, we could identify a new single chain antibody binding biotin by growing E. coil BL21 Star (DE3) containing the library in presence of a biotin-ampicillin conjugate. In contrast to methods as molecular or cell surface display our selection system applies the soluble single chain antibody molecule and thereby avoids undesired effects, e.g. by the phage particle or the yeast fusion protein. By selecting directly in an expression strain, production and characterization of the selected single chain antibody is possible without any further cloning or transformation steps.},

  abstract  = {Assessing diversity is among the major tasks in ecology and conservation science. In ecological and conservation studies, epiphytic cryptogams are usually sampled up to accessible heights in forests. Thus, their diversity, especially of canopy specialists, likely is underestimated. If the proportion of those species differs among forest types, plot-based diversity assessments are biased and may result in misleading conservation recommendations. We sampled bryophytes and lichens in 30 forest plots of 20 m x 20 m in three German regions, considering all substrates, and including epiphytic litter fall. First, the sampling of epiphytic species was restricted to the lower 2 m of trees and shrubs. Then, on one representative tree per plot, we additionally recorded epiphytic species in the crown, using tree climbing techniques. Per tree, on average 54\% of lichen and 20\% of bryophyte species were overlooked if the crown was not been included. After sampling all substrates per plot, including the bark of all shrubs and trees, still 38\% of the lichen and 4\% of the bryophyte species were overlooked if the tree crown of the sampled tree was not included. The number of overlooked lichen species varied strongly among regions. Furthermore, the number of overlooked bryophyte and lichen species per plot was higher in European beech than in coniferous stands and increased with increasing diameter at breast height of the sampled tree. Thus, our results indicate a bias of comparative studies which might have led to misleading conservation recommendations of plot-based diversity assessments.},
