Museum management: Sociological aspects by A. S. Bigvava

“…Museums provide essential information about the development of society and its subsystems in the form of “collections of the past”, i.e. museums help us to consider current problems and phenomena retrospectively - through exhibitions creatively organized, systematically selected and “adapted” to different perceptions. To perform such diverse functions, the museum should be perceived as a special organization that requires clear strategic management, especially of opportunities and risks, and the authors outline those management paths that can make a museum popular and successful.…”

Pseudomonas intra-genus competition determines the protective function of synthetic bacterial communities in Arabidopsis thaliana. by Anton Amrhein, Mingxiao Zhang, Stéphane Hacquard, Anna Heintz-Buschart, Kathrin Wippel

“…Although commensal bacteria display host preference, their beneficial impact on their cognate host and mechanisms of species selection by the plant are still unclear. We use bacterial culture collections derived from the two model species Arabidopsis thaliana (At) and Lotus japonicus (Lj) to design synthetic communities (SynComs) and test their protective function upon exposure of At Col-0 to the detrimental root-colonizing At-derived Pseudomonas isolate R401. …”

Candidate genes associated with fatty acid compositions in north American Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by Barbara L. Langille, Manuel Juárez, Nuria Prieto, Solomon Boison, Panya Sae Lim, Bruce D. Swift, Amber F. Garber

“…Atlantic salmon is a major dietary source of nutritious and digestible fatty acids. Here, we set out to uncover the genomic basis of individual fatty acids and indices (saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, n-3, and n-6) in 208 North American Atlantic salmon, to understand selection potential toward increasing relative quantities of essential fatty acids and to identify candidate genes for future research. …”
