Eurofins MWG Operon

Ebersberg, Germany, September 04, 2012 - Eurofins MWG Operon, one of the pioneers and key providers of next generation sequencing (NGS), has added an Illumina HiSeq 2500 and an Illumina MiSeq sequencer to its fleet of NGS sequencers. With this new equipment, the company will be able to provide customers with NGS services at high accuracy rate and shorter turnaround time (TAT).

Whilst technological innovation has improved the general performance of sequencing equipment in recent years, long turnaround times remain an issue, especially in fields like personalised medicine, pharmacogenomics, marker assisted breeding, or diagnostics. A bench top sequencer such as the Illumina MiSeq, with its smaller read output (10? million reads) but longer read length (currently 2x 150bp, soon 2x 250bp) is the ideal tool for fast data delivery services. The rapid turnaround run mode of the HiSeq 2500 allows overnight sequencing of a human genome to 30fold coverage.

Eurofins MWG Operon has established a solid market reputation as a premium provider for high throughput sequencing, professional project consulting, and innovative developments in library generation for a wide range of applications.

"The investment in these two new sequencers is part of Eurofins' strategic effort to grow its sequencing capacity in line with market demand. The combination of MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 is a versatile solution to service many types of projects and customers, delivering sequencing data at low cost, high-throughput, fast turnaround time and at a high accuracy level. Eurofins will continue to expand and adapt its sequencing portfolio in response to evolving technologies and market demands, and will keep bringing innovative solutions to upcoming markets such as Diagnostics and Agrigenomics", says Bruno Poddevin, Eurofins Senior Vice President, Genomic Services.

Compression Tights - a based level apparel, which is becoming a lot ...

August 28, 2012

With all the rising popularity of your fitness lifestyle, there was a spike within the demand for workout apparel and apparel. Amongst workout clothing and apparel, compression tights are growing within popularity with athletes associated with outdoor sports.

For case in point, outdoor sports for example running, cycling, surfing, and scuba diving consist of long periods of experience of sun UV rays. Sportsmen often find themselves battling temperature, outdoor debris, and fatigue. Players in the know realize that compression tights not only provide UV protection, increase sports performance, but they protect against scratches and reduces (from the adventurous nature of the sports).

The comfort that compression tights provide athletes arises from the thermo-regulating, moisture drinking water removing, and anti-microbial fabric utilised. This really helps to avoid odor and the build up of bacteria. Compression setting apparel also helps eradicate chafing, ensuring a comfortable workout, race or surf.

Besides this, the athlete?s warm-up is enhanced whenever wearing fitness apparel, as it helps to reduce muscle vibration from terrain contact. The retention also provides stability helping to prevent micro shock to the muscles. Last but not least, muscle soreness can be reduced dramatically in the days following strenuous exercising.

There are various types of compression tights designed for physical fitness enthusiasts. Compression pantyhose come in a wide range of designs, colors, and print styles. There are many brands offering compression tights at a range of different costs. Among them is POSS, based in Hong Kong, which designs as well as produces compression clothes.

POSS is a performance apparel sports brand that designs compression tights for athletes. For more information please visit the website at www.possmma.us

PST: Building the MLS Team of the Week

ProSoccerTalk?s Best XI from Week 26 in Major League Soccer includes a wily ol? veteran who hit his first goal this year. And his second, too!

Goalkeeper:

  • Real Salt Lake?s Nick Rimando

Rationale, motive and intent: The U.S. international had four saves in an important win over D.C. United. (New England?s Matt Reis was huge in a weekend draw with Philadelphia. But allowing three in the previous match (which was also part of Week 26) makes the Revs? vet a harder sell. Same for Revolution center back Stephen McCarthy, who was also quite strong in Saturday?s draw at home.)

Back line:

  • Portland?s Hanyer Mosquera
  • Chicago?s Arne Friedrich
  • New York?s Wilman Conde
  • San Jose?s Ramiro Corrales

Rationale, motive and intent: Mosquera won almost every battle in the weekend win over Colorado, and that?s not easy when the other battler is a sledgehammer like Conor Casey. Friedrich and the rest of the Chicago Fire came within minutes of a clean sheet before Brian Ching got loose for a late strike in the Fire?s important 3-1 win over Houston.

Conde and Corrales both played left back. But both turned in impressive performances in storybook conditions. Conde was essentially an ?experiement? as left back in Red Bulls? match with D.C. United. So, who would have possibly thought he would get forward to nail the late equalizer with a stunning first-timer? And with his right foot of all things!

Corrales is no longer a first-choice starter for Frank Yallop at Buck Shaw. But what a night he had in spelling starter Justin Morrow. Corrales hit his first goal this year. And then his second! Both on free kicks, the second one a clever and sneaky effort as Chivas USA arranged its wall.

Midfield:

  • Sporting Kansas City?s Paulo Nagamura
  • L.A. Galaxy?s Juninho (pictured)
  • Seattle?s Osvaldo Alonso
  • Philadelphia?s Brian Carroll

Rationale, motive and intent: A couple of guys just keep popping up on this list.

Juninho makes his second consecutive ProSoccerTalk Team of the Week appearance. Another goal for the Galaxy, and another high-rev overall performance in the Galaxy midfield highlighted a 2-0 win over Vancouver. Of course, for Juninho and the Los Angeles Galaxy, all of that is becoming known simply as a ?Saturday.?

Nagamura may have been a little lucky with his bouncing goal in the 2-1, tougher-than-expected win over Toronto, but all of his hustle, bustle and quality work in midfield was hardly an accident.

Alonso put in the full shift?s worth of work in oppressive conditions, even if he did need to leave just a bit early (in the 78th minute) with a gash in his head. He and Brad Evans helped keep Dallas? David Ferreira from being overly dangerous as the teams matched one goal each in Texas.

Carroll?s work is the kind that?s never really appreciated as it probably should be, positionally solid and extremely reliable in possession. But scoreless draws on the road (at New England in this case) don?t happen with contributions like his.

Forward:

  • Columbus? Federico Higuain
  • D.C. United?s Dwayne De Rosario

Rationale, motive and intent: Higuain is another making a repeat appearance here, thanks to another outstanding week for the Columbus Crew. That week included four assists evenly dispersed over a pair of Crew wins.

?De Ro? hit career goal No. 100 in a draw with New York (and assisted on his team?s other strike in the 2-2 draw.) Then he hit everything but the goal in a tough loss just three nights later at Real Salt Lake.

Red Bull heir held over deadly Ferrari hit-and-run

EPA

Police officers in Bangkok, Thailand, inspect a Ferrari owned by Vorayuth Yoovidhya, a grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink, on Monday. Police allege the vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run incident that killed a police officer.

By The Associated Press

BANGKOK --?A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-and-run, police said Monday.

Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family's gated estate in a wealthy neighborhood of the Thai capital.


He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail.

Vorayuth admitted he drove the charcoal gray sports car but said the police officer's motorcycle abruptly cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, the lead investigator in the case.

Attempt at cover up alleged
Bangkok's top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect.

Comronwit himself led a team of officers to search the compound of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhaya, one of Thailand's wealthiest men before he passed away this year, and confiscated a Ferrari with a badly damaged front bumper and broken windshield.

The victim, Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, 47, was killed during a motorcycle patrol before dawn. Thai media reported that the car dragged the officer and his motorcycle for several dozen yards as it sped through the residential neighborhood.

Comronwit said he suspended the police officer who attempted to subvert the investigation.

"A policeman is dead. I can't let this stand. If I let this case get away, I'd rather quit," he told reporters. "I don't care how powerful they are. If I can't get the actual man in this case, I will resign."

Family wealth
Vorayuth did not speak to the media but the family lawyer said the family will be take responsibility for the damages.

AP

Vorayuth Yoovidhya, a grandson of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhaya, is taken into custody by police in Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday over suspicion of his involvement in a deadly hit-and-run incident.

The Yoovidhaya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.4 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoovidhaya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate.

The family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.

Creative Systems Lab.: Re-Thinking Education and Learning with C ...

I submitted a new paper to the EducationalPatterns workshop, which will be held in Austria this November.Here is an abstract of the paper.

"Making Learning Lively: An Analogical Consideration Inspired by Christopher Alexander?s Theory of Wholeness and Centers" (Takashi Iba, EducationalPatterns Workshop, 2012)

In this paper, I would like to consider how to make learning lively by developing an analogy between architecture and education, inspired by Christopher Alexander?s theory of wholeness and centers, which is proposed in his book, The Nature of Order. The analogy developed in this paper is that a whole that is composed of learning is viewed as a whole in the Alexander?s definition; and that learning that is lively is viewed as a center. In this paper, the following properties that make learning lively is discussed based on the following fifteen fundamental properties proposed by C. Alexander in his book, The Nature of Order: Levels of Scale, Strong Centers, Boundaries, Alternating Repetition, Positive Space, Good Shape, Local Symmetries, Deep Interlock and Ambiguity, Contrast, Gradients, Roughness, Echoes, The Void, Simplicity and Inner Calm, and Not-Separateness. Furthermore, I show the relation between these properties and the patterns of the Learning Patterns, which is a pattern language for creative learning.

This is one of the figure in the paper. ?My illustration summarizing the fifteen fundamental properties proposed by Christopher Alexander in his book, The Nature of Order, Book One.

The following is another figure in my paper. It shows my view of learning with the concepts, whole and centers, proposed by C. Alexander.
