--- _id: '1879' abstract: - lang: eng text: When electron microscopy (EM) was introduced in the 1930s it gave scientists their first look into the nanoworld of cells. Over the last 80 years EM has vastly increased our understanding of the complex cellular structures that underlie the diverse functions that cells need to maintain life. One drawback that has been difficult to overcome was the inherent lack of volume information, mainly due to the limit on the thickness of sections that could be viewed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). For many years scientists struggled to achieve three-dimensional (3D) EM using serial section reconstructions, TEM tomography, and scanning EM (SEM) techniques such as freeze-fracture. Although each technique yielded some special information, they required a significant amount of time and specialist expertise to obtain even a very small 3D EM dataset. Almost 20 years ago scientists began to exploit SEMs to image blocks of embedded tissues and perform serial sectioning of these tissues inside the SEM chamber. Using first focused ion beams (FIB) and subsequently robotic ultramicrotomes (serial block-face, SBF-SEM) microscopists were able to collect large volumes of 3D EM information at resolutions that could address many important biological questions, and do so in an efficient manner. We present here some examples of 3D EM taken from the many diverse specimens that have been imaged in our core facility. We propose that the next major step forward will be to efficiently correlate functional information obtained using light microscopy (LM) with 3D EM datasets to more completely investigate the important links between cell structures and their functions. acknowledgement: The Zeiss Merlin with Gatan 3View2XP and Zeiss Auriga were acquired through a CLEM grant from Minister Ingrid Lieten to the VIB Bio-Imaging-Core.

It is based on disjunctive modal transition systems where we allow actions to bear various types of quantitative information. Throughout the design process the actions can be further refined and the information made more precise. We show how to compute the results of standard operations on the systems, including the quotient (residual), which has not been previously considered for quantitative non-deterministic systems. Our quantitative framework has close connections to the modal nu-calculus and is compositional with respect to general notions of distances between systems and the standard operations. acknowledgement: This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant agreement 267989 (QUAREM), by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project S11402-N23 (RiSE), and by the Czech Science Foundation, grant No. P202/12/G061. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Uli full_name: Fahrenberg, Uli last_name: Fahrenberg - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Axel full_name: Legay, Axel last_name: Legay - first_name: Louis full_name: Traonouez, Louis last_name: Traonouez citation: ama: 'Fahrenberg U, Kretinsky J, Legay A, Traonouez L.

Within the genus, a dozen species have been recognized based on morphological diversity, most of them with limited distribution area, in small populations and frequently with potential threats to their survival. To date, however, a molecular evaluation of the current systematic treatments has not been carried out. The aim of the present study is to infer phylogenetic relationships among its subordinate taxa by using plastidial rps16 intron and nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA sequences; and evaluate the phylogenetic placement of the genus Petrocoptis within the family Caryophyllaceae. The monophyly of Petrocoptis is supported by both ITS and rps16 intron sequence analyses. Furthermore, time estimates using BEAST analyses indicate a Middle to Late Miocene diversification (10.59 Myr, 6.44–15.26 Myr highest posterior densities [HPD], for ITS; 14.30 Myr, 8.61–21.00 Myr HPD, for rps16 intron). author: - first_name: Eduardo full_name: Cires Rodriguez, Eduardo id: 2AD56A7A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Cires Rodriguez - first_name: José full_name: Prieto, José last_name: Prieto citation: ama: Cires Rodriguez E, Prieto J.
