Sommario/riassunto

The media's presentation suggests that American teenage culture today is the most violent, sexual, and amoral youth culture in history. In this book, Nichols and Good deconstruct the negative images held by large numbers of adults. Recognizing that many teenagers are left by adults to socialize themselves and the consequences of this ""careless indifference,"" the authors' goal is to influence a more positive view leading to stronger social policies and better services, resources, and programs to meet the needs of America's youth. Unique features of America's Teenagers--Myths and Re

Sommario/riassunto

Carbon-based nanomaterials have been increasingly used in sensors and biosensors design due to their advantageous intrinsic properties, which include, but are not limited to, high electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, optical properties, large specific surface, biocompatibility, and easy functionalization. The most commonly applied carbonaceous nanomaterials are carbon nanotubes (single- or multi-walled nanotubes) and graphene, but promising data have been also reported for (bio)sensors based on carbon quantum dots and nanocomposites, among others. The incorporation of carbon-based nanomaterials, independent of the detection scheme and developed platform type (optical, chemical, and biological, etc.), has a major beneficial effect on the (bio)sensor sensitivity, specificity, and overall performance. As a consequence, carbon-based nanomaterials have been promoting a revolution in the field of (bio)sensors with the development of increasingly sensitive devices. This Special Issue presents original research data and review articles that focus on (experimental or theoretical) advances, challenges, and outlooks concerning the preparation, characterization, and application of carbon-based nanomaterials for (bio)sensor development.

Sommario/riassunto

Was geschieht, wenn das binäre Geschlechtermodell irritiert wird, also die gesellschaftlich etablierte Unterscheidung zwischen Mann und Frau nicht greift? Wird geschlechtliche Ambiguität toleriert oder werden die Unterscheidung und die Unterscheidbarkeit erzwungen? Die Beiträger*innen besprechen dazu Fallanalysen aus dem Zeitraum vom



17. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. Aus unterschiedlichen Fachperspektiven zeigen sie auf, wie Ambiguität eine epistemische Offenheit generiert, deren Auflösung sich kulturabhängig und epochenübergreifend verschieden gestaltet - von einer Bereicherung und Etablierung neuer Werte bis zu Zurückweisung und Widerstand.
