MaxPlanckResearch 3/2018: The Origin of Life

https://www.mpg.de/12252400/MPR_2018_3

The question of the origins of life still remains an open problem. Various groups at Max Planck Institutes are investigating this genuinely existential question. Some scientists, for example, suspect that the building blocks for organisms have literally fallen from the sky. Other researchers are also focusing on the role played by RNA molecules in the development of life, as well as the problem of the first cells – and experts in the lab are investigating the dynamics of biomembranes.
On the contrary, these patients are classified as a danger to the public.

Legal study offers first comprehensive overview of liability issues in connection with the Fukushima nuclear accident

https://www.mpg.de/4404127/Fukushima_liability_issues

With expected damage claims estimated as high as 90 billion Euros, the nuclear accident in Fukushima represents the largest liability case in Japanese history. Claims for compensation are expected from various categories of victims, including evacuated plant workers and citizens, impacted farmers and fishermen, and representatives of industry and tourism. Notwithstanding the unlimited liability imposed on nuclear operators under Japanese law, lump-sum State payments have been initiated in connection with extra-judicial proceedings.

Hormones dictate breeding success in birds

Some animals produce more offspring than others do. Hormones like prolactin and corticosterone can exercise a crucial influence on the behaviour of birds in the breeding season and therefore on their reproductive success. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell and their colleagues at the universities of Princeton and Edinburgh have now demonstrated that hormone levels not only play a key role during the breeding season, but already dictate, long in advance, how many eggs a breeding pair will lay, when they will lay them and how often. An animal’s hormonal constitution is thus of major significance for its reproductive success, and is possibly an important driving force of evolution.

When the bird is exposed to sudden danger and significant stress as a result, its
