Title:The function of a newly identified retina homeobox-containing gene，RxL in Xenopus retinal development
Content: There are two interesting themes in study of eye developement. One is the specification of eye field from the neural sytem, and another is retinnogenesis, namely the generation of different types of retinal cells . Each process is related to the regulation of certain kinds of genes. In this research, a new gene has been identified in Xenopus. To understand its function, we use morpholino to knock down the gene's expression or overexpress this gene in Xenopus embryo. The results showed that this gene is essential for the development of photoreceptor cells.
Intercultural Meeting for international PhD students
date: 01/09/2008 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
place: Hörsaal (lecture room) XVIII (located on the 1st floor),Melanchthonianum, Universitätsplatzworking
language: English
This session will address different issues and is divided into two parts:
1) interactive discussion on living and working as a PhD student andguest researcher in Halle
- get to know each other- share your experience
- discuss best-practice examples and urgent demands
- how to succeed in a German academic environment
- how to make most of your stay inside and outside the academy
2) information on specific offers for international junior scientists inWS 2008/09
- German language courses- Teaching and research assistantships
- PhD student network across faculties and institutions
- Cultural event calendar- Intercultural seminar for international PhD students in November 2008
受命发帖：下周一 （9月1 日）的文化沙龙将有一个外办的老师参加。她希望和一些外国留学生来个座谈（听起来此人是管博士口的，但不太确信），听听大家的意见，包括刚来德国或哈勒的留学生有哪些需要帮忙的地方，以及在学习生活中学要组织些什么样的活动等。我觉得挺好的，大家有什么想法不妨来畅所欲言一下，机会难得。此人看来挺随和，务实，且英德兼通 （我拜托帮忙找俩语伴，一英一德，她没拒绝，呵呵。)
要是座谈之后时间还够， 有一个答辩演练。题目好像是：The function of a newly identified retina homeobox-containing gene，RxL in Xenopus retinal development

欢迎感兴趣的朋友参加，也许会有一种云里雾里的美好体验呢。
Title: Pumping Test
Language: English
Content : Spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity is very important for predicting water and solute movement in the subsurface at high resolutions. The pumping test is a way for determining the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer.
The presentation will explain some basic conceptions of groundwater and introduce the experimental station instruments; the process of pumping test as well as the methods to calculate the hydraulic conductivity.
