Abstract: The invention provides a detection system for ionizing radiation, a method of manufacturing a detection system for ionizing radiation, a method of detecting ionizing radiation, a detection chamber for detecting ionizing radiation by liquid scintillation counting, and a method of detecting ionizing radiation by liquid scintillation counting. The detection system for ionizing radiation comprises a detector with a detection surface. The detector is configured to detect ionizing radiation that is incident on the detection surface. An adsorption layer is provided on said detection surface, the adsorption layer being configured to bind target particles, wherein the target particles are radioactive atoms or molecules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polynucleotides comprising a first nucleic acid sequence for a chromatin element, which is capable of enhancing expression, and at least one second nucleic acid sequence comprising a curved origin motif. Furthermore, the invention relates to a host cell, a non-human transgenic organism, a vector and a kit comprising the aforementioned polynucleotide. Moreover, the invention relates to methods for expressing a polynucleotide of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor having a conductor arrangement and an intervening dielectric to detect local sensor impedances in response to external forces. The conductor arrangement comprises elongate conductor strips between which the intervening dielectric is arranged as a compressible insulating medium.
