Slaven Jacob – også kendt som Spurv – vokser op på et bordel i Carthago Nova i Spanien i Romerrigets sidste år. Som voksen ser han tilbage på sin umenneskelige barndom: som forældreløs var han overladt til det barske liv på bunden af samfundet, det hårde slid i værtshuset og blandt de prostituerede. Men trods vold, forfald og lidelse finder Spurv både kærlighed, venskab og ømhed. Og hans fantasi og hans sang lindrer den brutale virkelighed. "Spurv" er en betagende roman om slaveri og sammenhold i Romerriget og en livsbekræftende historie om overlevelse. Om forfatteren:James Hynes (f. 1955) har skrevet seks romaner, "Spurv" er hans første på dansk. Han har skrevet essays og anmeldelser for New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Review og Salon. Han bor i Austin, Texas.

Biological O2 sensing probes and measurement techniques were first introduced in the late 80s. In the last 3-5 years they have undergone major development that have made them available and affordable for a broad range of applications in various disciplines of the life and biomedical sciences. These new chemistries and technologies, which are significantly different from the majority of other fluorescence-based probes and detection techniques, have already demonstrated their high utility. This book will provide a systematic overview of the existing and emerging O2 sensing technologies in their different modifications, a practical guide to their rational selection and use, and examples of biological applications/case studies, including details on how to set up and conduct such experiments, troubleshoot and interpret the data.
