As we started by an unbiased screening in the human plasma, we needed to optimize our already published HUNTER method (https://doi.org/10.1074/mcp.TIR119.001560) for high-throughput and the demands of handling a larger cohort with 143 patient samples (in the end), optimizing timing and efficiency. The improvements were heating it up, making it faster and using a stream-lined approach avoiding multiplex dimethyl labeling to enable "label-free-like" N-terminomics. #Ntermini #SHUNTER 2/n
Vollert hat einen batteriebetriebenen Rangier-Robot Pro BR 150 Shunter geliefert, um eine Diesellokomotive im Steinbruch Carrière d’Arvel in der Schweiz zu ersetzen. Hier herrscht eine raue Umgebung mit Staub und hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit. "Shunting-Operationen erfordern häufige, sanfte Starts, präzises Rangieren von nur wenigen Metern und manchmal lange Inaktivität", sagte Michael Spohn, Senior Sales Manager im Bereich Shunting Systems bei Vollert. „Dafür sind unsere autarken Rangierfahrzeuge optimal ausgelegt, im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Lokomotiven“

On the #workbench this evening - fitting a Zen decoder to my #Hornby 08 #shunter.

This was the second decoder I tried, after I found the first one was a millimetre or so too thick and prevented the body from sitting properly on the chassis.

Miraculously I managed to:
a) get the body back on
b) not lose any retaining screws
c) not break anything!

The 08 shunter, a workhorse of Britain’s railway depots and yards since the 1950s, may still have a long life ahead of it: https://www.railwaygazette.com/uk/class-08-diesel-shunter-converted-to-battery-power/65199.article

The battery-operated 08e has been built from an ex-Inverness 08 by Positive Traction: https://08-e.positivetraction.co.uk

Class 08 diesel shunter converted to battery power

UK: A Class 08 diesel shunting locomotive originally built in the 1950s has been rebuilt to use battery power. Branded 08e, the prototype has been developed by Positive Traction to offer a cost-effective and emission free alternative to diesel power for shunting and industrial applications. 'Class ...
