Methodological, political and legal issues in the assessment of the effects of nanotechnology on human health by Schulte, Paul A, Riediker, Michael, Fatkhutdinova, Liliya, Bergamaschi, Enrico, Canu, Irina Guseva

“…Scientific challenges include the array of physicochemical parameters and ENM production conditions, the lack of universally accepted definitions of ENMs and nanotechnology workers, and the lack of information about modes of action, target organs and likely dose–response functions of ENMs. Standardisation of data collection and harmonisation of research protocols are needed to eliminate misclassification of exposures and health effects. …”

Pyrroloquinoline quinone aza-crown ether complexes as biomimetics for lanthanide and calcium dependent alcohol dehydrogenases by Vetsova, Violeta A., Fisher, Katherine R., Lumpe, Henning, Schäfer, Alexander, Schneider, Erik K., Weis, Patrik, Daumann, Lena J.

“…We show that when studying biomimetics for MDH, larger metal ions and those with lower charge in this case promote the dehydrogenation reaction more effectively and that this is likely an effect of the ligand design which must be considered when studying biomimetics. …”

Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…Our results reveal the critical role that spectral graph-theoretic properties of the measurement network play in controlling estimation accuracy; moreover, as a by-product of our analysis we obtain new bounds on the estimation error for the maximum likelihood estimators in SLAM and RA, which are likely to be of independent interest. Finally, we show experimentally that our spectral estimator is very effective in practice, producing initializations of comparable or superior quality at lower computational cost compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques.…”
