Künstlerische Einlassungen auf den öffentlichen Raum folgten lange Zeit dem Prinzip des subkulturellen Widerstands. Nur in dem strategischen, invasiven Akt der Intervention sah man noch die Möglichkeit einer weitgreifenden Kritik am kulturellen System. Begriffe wie Cultural Hacking, Guerilla Marketing, Adbusting, Konsumguerilla oder parasitäre Strategien prägten eine rebellische Auffassung der künstlerischen Einmischung. Gleichzeitig konnten diese Haltungen aufgrund ihres rebellischen Chics mühelos von dem, was sie kritisierten, aufgenommen und vereinnahmt werden. Künstlerisches Handeln verharrt jedoch nicht in der Pose des Widerständigen, sondern arbeitet kontinuierlich an der Problematisierung und Gestaltung der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung. Viele Interventionen der Gegenwartskunst weisen unterschiedliche Grade der Ästhetisierung, der Partizipation und der Kooperation in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem öffentlichen Raum auf. Das wache Agieren im urbanen Kontext, die Irritation von Erwartungshaltungen, Fake und Desillusionierungsarbeit verstehen sich als künstlerische Arbeit an der Sensibilisierung der Wahrnehmung.

The development prospects of the world markets for petroleum and other liquid fuels are diverse and partly contradictory. However, comprehensive changes for the energy supply of the future are essential. Notwithstanding the fact that there are still very large deposits of energy resources from a geological point of view, the finite nature of conventional oil reserves is indisputable. To reduce our dependence on oil, the EU, the USA, and other major economic zones rely on energy diversification. For this purpose, alternative materials and technologies are being sought, and is most obvious in the transport sector. The objective is to progressively replace fossil fuels with renewable and more sustainable fuels. In this respect, biofuels have a pre-eminent position in terms of their capability of blending with fossil fuels and being usable in existing cars without substantial modification. Ethanol can be considered as the primary renewable liquid fuel. In this chapter enzymes, micro-organisms, and processes for ethanol production based on renewable resources are described.
Sampling of dry surfaces for microorganisms is a main component of microbiological safety and is of critical importance in many fields including epidemiology, astrobiology as well as numerous branches of medical and food manufacturing. Aspects of biofilm formation, analysis and removal in aqueous solutions have been thoroughly discussed in literature. In contrast, microbial communities on air-exposed (dry) surfaces have received significantly less attention. Diverse surface sampling methods have been developed in order to address various surfaces and microbial groups, but they notoriously show poor repeatability, low recovery rates and suffer from lack of mutual consistency. Quantitative sampling for viable microorganisms represents a particular challenge, especially on porous and irregular surfaces. Therefore, it is essential to examine in depth the factors involved in microorganisms’ recovery efficiency and accuracy depending on the sampling technique used. Microbial colonization, retention and community composition on different dry surfaces are very complex and rely on numerous physicochemical and biological factors. This study is devoted to analyze and review the (a) physical phenomena and intermolecular forces relevant for microbiological surface sampling; (b) challenges and problems faced by existing sampling methods for viable microorganisms and (c) current directions of engineering and research aimed at improvement of quality and efficiency of microbiological surface sampling.
