Abstract: A request to calculate workload for a number of time buckets is received. In response to the request, one or more sets of activities with equal execution timeframe are determined. In one aspect, for the one or more sets of activities, net execution duration of activities from the one or more sets of activities is aggregated to determine workloads of the one or more sets of activities. Planned work time consumption of the determined workloads is calculated. In one aspect, calculated planned work time consumption of the workloads is distributed across the number of time buckets. Distributed planned work time consumption of the workloads is aggregated, by the time buckets to calculate the workload for the time buckets.

Abstract: The invention relates to plasmids derived from pBluescript KS(+), which contains more than 1, preferably 2, 7, 14, 21 and 27, respective SK primer elements, and their use in analytical electron microscopy.

Abstract: A method for detecting an element in a sample using a transmission electron microscope to measure a first image of the intensities of the sample at an energy loss in the range of the element signal. The background at various points is determined in a comparator sample which does not contain the element intensity. Energy loss is determined at the front of the element signal, and an energy loss is determined in the range of the element signal. From these values an approximation function is calculated so that an image of the pure element-specific intensities can be calculated.

Abstract: The intention is to provide a process for the contrast enhancement of a specific particle in an image of a specimen, taken by a transmission electron microscope, in which a calculated contrast-rich image is created by way of the background intensities calculated from the intensities of a first image being drawn off pixel by pixel, whereby the background intensities are calculated as a function of the intensities of a second image. In this situation, it is intended that this process should feature a higher range of application than processes known hitherto, and, in particular, are well-suited for contrast enhancement for gold particles in immuno-gold marking.
