An act of will. It enables people to dare to take action, achieve exceptional results and not be de- terred by risks – as so vividly expressed by the word “audacity”. What actually drives people to be bold and to risk going to ex- tremes? Why do athletes, and even engineers for that matter, push things to their limits and beyond? It’s the great, often unparalleled opportunities that present themselves in these moments. The chance to make the impossible possible. To venture forth into un- charted territory, where no one has gone before. This determination is something that we’ve taken to heart at the Friedhelm Loh Group from the very beginning. We wouldn’t be here today if we hadn’t had the boldness to always try new things and take risks. And that this still holds true today is demonstrated by our current investments at our German locations: with 250 million euros among other things, we’re completely realigning Rittal’s pro- DR FRIEDHELM LOH duction landscape here in the region.

In total, three serum samples were seropositive for N. caninum with two of them originating from a flock in Middle-Hesse and one sample coming from a flock in Northern Hesse. Western Blotting confirmed two of three ELISA-positive samples proving a low overall prevalence of 2/41 (0.48%) for caprine neosporosis.

  • Scientists Like Timber-Framed Houses They Are Developing a New Therapy for Pulmonary Infections, Work in the US and Meet in Unter- Seibertenrod
    Scientists like timber-framed houses They are developing a new therapy for pulmonary infections, work in the US and meet in Unter- Seibertenrod. The idea came from the founder of the pharmaceutical company, Dr. Thomas Hofmann. His grandparents’ house is located in our village and that’s where he and his team are meeting. By Joachim Legatis Thomas Hofmann currently lives in Doylestown located in the state of Pennsylvania, but his summer vacations are spent in his old home town. That’s when his son and daughter can play with the neighbor’s children, the same way Dr. Hofmann did when he was a child and like the generations before him. He values the calm atmosphere of the Vogelsberg region and he gets his colleagues excited about the rugged landscape of the state of Middle Hesse. Dr. Kevin Stapleton flew in two days ago from Los Angeles and he admires the diverse surroundings here. Dr. Brandon Banaschewski is impressed by the small villages here: “Everybody knows everyone”. Being from Canada originally, he loves the historic timber-framed farm houses. They all stay in the historic Hofmann farm house, built in 1733. Obstacles with Skype Dr. Hofmann scheduled a work meeting for his company Qrumpharma in Unter-Seibertenrod. During their one week stay the six medical experts discuss plans over the next few months for their new drug under development: QRM-003, an antibiotic therapy to treat a particular type of lung infection. Caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), these infections are different from the bacterium being responsible for the better known tuberculosis.

Im Zuge coleopterologisch orientierter Fließgewässeruntersuchungen im Raum Mar­ burg/Lahn konnte die Art an 12 Probestellen nachgewiesen werden und muß im Gebiet als häufig gelten. In Germany Hydraena excisa is a waterbeetle taken for very rare and endangered. In the course of coleopterological investigations of lotic habitats near Marburg/Lahn (Germany, Middle Hesse) now the species was found in 12 sample stations and has to be concerned as a common one in the area. 1 Einleitung Während im westlichen Rheinischen Schiefergebirge zahlreiche umfassende Ma- krozoobenthon-Erfassungen in Fließgewässern vorgenommen worden sind, bei denen auch die aquatischen Coleoptera Berücksichtigung gefunden haben, muß der hessische Teil des Schiefergebirges als in dieser Hinsicht nahezu unbearbei­ tet gelten. Ähnliches gilt auch für die rechts der Lahn gelegenen Gebiete Mittel­ hessens. K arner (o. J.) beklagt die generell fragmentarische Kenntnis der Kä­ ferfauna der nördlichen und mittleren Landesteile. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte das Vorkommen von Hydraena excisa im Marburger Umland beleuchten und zur Kenntnis der Verbreitung der Art in Deutschland beitragen. 2 Untersuchungsgebiet (Abb.1) und Methode Zwischen 1993 und 1995 wurde die Käferfauna zahlreicher Bäche im näheren und weiteren Marburger Umland untersucht.
