- We report the sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, a model for developmental and systems biology. The sequencing strategy combined whole-genome shotgun and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequences. This use of BAC clones, aided by a pooling strategy, overcame difficulties associated with high heterozygosity of the genome. The genome encodes about 23,300 genes, including many previously thought to be vertebrate innovations or known only outside the deuterostomes. This echinoderm genome provides an evolutionary outgroup for the chordates and yields insights into the evolution of deuterostomes.

- The nuclear structure of neutron-rich N≥126 nuclei have been investigated following their production via relativistic projectile fragmentation of a E/A=l GeV 238U beam on a Be target. The cocktail of secondary beam products were separated and identified using the GSI FRagment Separator (FRS). The nuclei of interest were implanted in a high-granularity active stopper detector set-up consisting of 6 double sided silicon strip detectors. The associated gamma-ray transitions were detected with the RISING array, consisting of 15 Euroball cluster Ge-detectors. Time-correlated gamma decays from individually identified nuclear species have been recorded, allowing the clean identification of isomeric decays.

- Neutron-deficient nuclei with N = 126 have been populated following projectile fragmentation of a U-238 beam with energy 1 GeV/A. The decay of several previously reported isomers has been measured. This will allow us to calculate high-spin isomeric ratios and compare them with model calculations to allow a better understanding of the reaction mechanism.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Relativistic projectile fragmentation of a Pb-208 primary beam has been used to produce neutron-rich nuclei with proton-holes relative to the Z = 82 shell closure, i.e., "south" of Pb. beta-delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy allows to investigate the structural properties of such nuclei with A similar to 195 -> 205. The current work presents transitions de-exciting excited states in Au-204, which are the first spectroscopic information on this N = 125 isotone.

- The nuclear structure of neutron-rich N > 126 nuclei has been investigated following their production via relativistic projectile fragmentation of a E/A = 1 GeV U-238 beam on a Be target. The preliminary analysis indicates the presence of previously unreported isomeric states in the N = 128 isotones Hg-208 and Tl-209.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The nuclear structure of neutron-rich N>126 nuclei has been investigated following their production via relativistic projectile fragmentation of a E/A=1 GeV U-238 beam. Metastable states in the N=128 isotones Hg-208 and Tl-209 have been identified. Delayed gamma-ray transitions are interpreted as arising from the decay of I-pi=(8(+)) and (17/2(+)) isomers, respectively. The data allow for the so far most comprehensive verification of the shell-model approach in the region determined by magic numbers Z < 82 and N>126.

- Increasing age is associated with a poor prognosis following traumatic brain injury (TBI). CNS axons may recover poorly following TBI due to expression of myelin-derived inhibitors to axonal outgrowth such as Nogo-A. To study the role of Nogo-A/B in the pathophysiological response of the elderly to TBI, 1-year-old mice deficient in Nogo-A/B (Nogo-A/B homozygous(-/-) mice), Nogo-A/B heterozygous(-/+) mice, and age-matched wild-type (WT) littermate controls were subjected to a controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI. Sham-injured WT mice (7 months old) and 12 month old naïve Nogo-A/B(-/-) and Nogo-A/B(-/+) served as controls. Neurological motor function was evaluated up to 3 weeks, and cognitive function, hemispheric tissue loss, myelin staining and hippocampal beta-amyloid (A beta) immunohistochemistry were evaluated at 4 weeks post-injury. In WT littermates, TBI significantly impaired learning ability at 4 weeks and neurological motor function up to 2 weeks post-injury and caused a significant loss of hemispheric tissue. Following TBI, Nogo-A/B(-/-) mice showed significantly less recovery from neurological motor and cognitive deficits compared to brain-injured WT mice. Naïve Nogo-A/B(-/-) and Nogo-A/B(-/+) mice quickly learned the MWM task in contrast to brain-injured Nogo-A/B(-/-) mice who failed to learn the MWM task at 4 weeks post-injury. Hemispheric tissue loss and cortical lesion volume were similar among the brain-injured genotypes. Neither TBI nor the absence of NogoA/B caused an increased A beta expression. Myelin staining showed a reduced area and density in the corpus callosum in brain-injured Nogo-A/B(-/-) animals compared to their littermate controls. These novel and unexpected behavioral results demonstrate that the absence of Nogo-A/B may negatively influence outcome, possibly related to hypomyelination, following TBI in mice and suggest a complex role for this myelin-associated axonal growth inhibitor following TBI.

Diurea cross-linked poly(oxyethylene)/siloxane ormolytes for lithium batteries

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Poly(oxyethylene) (POE)/siloxane hybrids (di-ureasils) doped with a wide concentration range of lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) were investigated. The host matrix of these materials [d-U(2000)] is a sol-gel-derived siliceous framework to which POE chains with about 40.3 repeat units are bonded through urea linkages. Xerogels with ∞ ≥ n ≥ 5 (n is the molar ratio OCH2CH2/Li+) were obtained as amorphous monoliths thermally stable up to at least 340°C. A crystalline POE/LiCF3SO3 complex was detected spectroscopically in samples with n ≤ 10. Below 90°C the ormolyte with n = 20 exhibits the highest conductivity (5.8 × 10-6 n-l cm-1 at 26°C). The redox stability domain of this material spans 4.1 V. Although Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data suggest that the Li+ ions are complexed by the POE ether oxygen atoms at n ≤10, this threshold composition is probably located at slightly lower salt content "Free" triflate ions and weakly coordinated anions, present in all the samples examined, must be the main charge carriers of the d-U(2000) 20LiCF3SO3 xerogel. Ion pairs (Li +CF3SO3-) or negatively charged triplets ([Li(CF3SO3)2]-) are formed at n ≤ 40. At n ≤ 5 positively charged triplets [Li2(CF 3SO3)]+ also appear. Divalent positively charged multiplets [Li3(CF3SO3)]2+ occur at n = 1.
