Photoacoustic microscopy is an imaging method based on the photoacoustic effect and is a subset of photoacoustic tomography. Photoacoustic microscopy takes advantage of the local temperature rise that occurs as a result of light absorption in tissue. Using a nanosecond pulsed laser beam, tissues undergo thermoelastic expansion, resulting in the release of a wide-band acoustic wave that can be detected using a high-frequency ultrasound transducer. Since ultrasonic scattering in tissue is weaker than optical scattering, photoacoustic microscopy is capable of achieving high-resolution images at greater...

„Unter den Talaren – Muff von 1000 Jahren“ war der Text eines Transparents, das am 9. November 1967 im Auditorium Maximum der Universität Hamburg von den damaligen Studenten und früheren AStA-Vorsitzenden Detlev Albers und Gert Hinnerk Behlmer bei der Rektoratsübergabe in der Öffentlichkeit enthüllt wurde. Das dabei entstandene Pressefoto wurde vielfach abgedruckt, und der Text des Transparents wird bis in die Gegenwart als eine der wesentlichen Kernparolen der Deutschen Studentenbewegung der 1960er Jahre oft zitiert. Der gereimte Slogan „Unter den Talaren – Muff von 1000 Jahren“ spielt kritisch…

Spanish personal pronouns have distinct forms according to whether they stand for the subject (nominative) or object, and third-person pronouns make an additional distinction for direct object (accusative) or indirect object (dative), and for reflexivity as well. Several pronouns also have special forms used after prepositions. Spanish is a pro-drop language with respect to subject pronouns, and, like many European languages, Spanish makes a T-V distinction in second person pronouns that has no equivalent in modern English. Object pronouns can be both clitic and non-clitic, with non-clitic forms...
