German MPs ' outside jobs and their repercussions on parliamentary effort

It is a longstanding debate whether members of parliament (MPs) should be allowed to follow sideline jobs in addition to their mandate. Critics claim that politicians already face binding time constraints and that moonlighting might lead to a neglect of inner-parliamentary duties. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate whether politicians with more sideline jobs show less effort ...

Perspective Rice 2020: A Call For An International Coordinated Effort In Rice Functional Genomics

We describe a call for an international coordinated effort in rice functional genomics in the form of a project named RICE2020. Themission of the project will be: to determine the function of every gene in the rice genome by the year 2020, to identify functional diversity of alleles for agriculturally useful genes from the primary gene pool of rice, and to apply the findings of functional genom...

An EGG study on global and local vocal effort changes in German: preliminary results

The aims of this study are (1) to compare the effects of global vocal effort changes on voice source parameters with effects of focus and word stress, (2) to tease apart the influences of subglottal pressure and vocal fold tension by independently varying sentence accent and word stress. Therefore two EGG experiments were carried out. Results on the calculated voice source parameters indicate t...
