Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. Unlike var promoters, promoters of non-var families are not silenced by default, and transcription of non-var families is not subject to the same mode of mutually exclusive transcription as has been observed for var genes. …”

The new "rare metal age" : new challenges and implications of critical raw materials supply security in the 21st century by Umbach, Frank

“…This working paper analyses the global supply and demand balance of three CRMs (REEs, lithium and cobalt, the latter two being major raw materials for batteries) in the foreseeable future and whether ASEAN countries can play a role as producers and suppliers of CRMs. It also examines potential counterstrategies for mitigating and reducing the global demand for CRMs, such as substitution, reduced use of CRMs, and recycling and re-use.…”
