Extracellular immunoglobulin (IgG) deposits were shown by both light and electron microscopy in renal biopsy material using immunogold labelling. After fixation of tissue in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedding in Lowicryl K4M, semithin sections were cut and stained using the immunogold silver stain. The sections were then viewed and areas of interest were noted; ultrathin sections were cut from t...

Digital PCR is rapidly being adopted in the field of DNA-based food analysis. The direct, absolute quantification it offers makes it an attractive technology for routine analysis of food and feed samples for their composition, possible GMO content, and compliance with labelling requirements. However, assessing the performance of dPCR assays is not yet well established. This article introduces t...

Cluster Identification is introduced as the process of jointly evaluating clustering and labelling schemes for cluster-labelling scheme selection. Normalized Rand and BBN metrics for comparing clustering performances across varied clustering and labelling schemes are presented. The merits of the metrics are evaluated and applied for speaker-environment tracking in Broadcast News.

The general disenchantment with command-and-control mechanisms led to pressure to experiment with tools of deregulation which encourage the desired behaviour through financial incentives rather than through legal coercion. Eco-labelling can be seen as a representation of this trend to deregulate environmental protection by allowing industry to make the decision of whether or not to apply for th...

Fast cysteine labelling of peptides promoted by an adjacent arginine has been observed with a standard labelling agent specific for amines, N-succinimidyl 4-[(18)F]fluorobenzoate.

In molluscs, migration of hemocytes and epithelial cells is believed to play central roles in wound healing. Here, we assessed cellular molecular mechanisms healing Pacific abalone, a marine gastropod. Light electron microscopy the wounds showed early accumulation putative hemocytes, collagen deposition by fibroblasts, further coverage this tissue adjacent cells. Cell labelling technique allowe...
