Background: Saccharification and fermentation of pretreated lignocellulosic materials, such as spruce, should be performed at high solids contents in order to reduce the cost of the produced bioethanol.

We argue that there is a need for a more elaborate and sophisticated discussion of if, and then how, the public library fulfils its social role to con- tribute to democracy.

This allows us to engage in discussions on how the library

The presence of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs) in drinking water resources has urged the development of simple and fast screening tools for drinking water surveillance. This article aims to validatea quick test kit for freshwater PSTs detection. Preliminary estimates of the limit of detection (LODs)were done for 5 PSPs variants, namely C1 toxin (a “C” toxin); GTX5(a Gonyautoxin); and
