Finland invests in future rail link to Norwegian Sea

Finland is under pressure to switch its rail to the standard European gauge. In the first phase, a planned train line is to run between Kemi and Haparanda, Sweden.

****What is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?

Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsWhat is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?The rapid advancement of environmental DNA (eDNA) science in the past two decades has inspired a concomitant growth in the development of eDNA sampling and analytical methods. However, these methods are often developed by individual laboratories or institutions, which can isolate protocols within programmes, agencies or regions and prevent the beneficial exchange of data and ideas. Recent efforts to advance national and international coordination have resulted in a groundswell of standardisation efforts, but there is still considerable confusion around the role of formal standards for regulatory or research applications. With this commentary, we hope to provide clarity on the terminology used in standardisation discussions, including the differences between formal standards and best practice guidelines. Additionally, we discuss how eDNA method choice may be informed by environmental management scenarios and review examples of formal eDNA method standards being used to inform management action. The eDNA community now has an opportunity to develop a roadmap for method development to help close standardisation gaps, advance eDNA method adoption and accelerate our ability to monitor biological life at the scales our current environmental challenges demand.

Oh great, seems #RFC9580 as the next version (including cryptographic improvements) of #OpenPGP has just been released:

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/

All relevant implementations will soon support this new standard (well, apart from GnuPG and RNP who apparently enjoy the trip into proprietary format land).

IETF DatatrackerRFC 9580: OpenPGPThis document specifies the message formats used in OpenPGP. OpenPGP provides encryption with public key or symmetric cryptographic algorithms, digital signatures, compression, and key management. This document is maintained in order to publish all necessary information needed to develop interoperable applications based on the OpenPGP format. It is not a step-by-step cookbook for writing an application. It describes only the format and methods needed to read, check, generate, and write conforming packets crossing any network. It does not deal with storage and implementation questions. It does, however, discuss implementation issues necessary to avoid security flaws. This document obsoletes RFCs 4880 ("OpenPGP Message Format"), 5581 ("The Camellia Cipher in OpenPGP"), and 6637 ("Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in OpenPGP").

HVDC Networks Come to Europe

"Driving this expansion in #HVDC are major technical advances.

The flexible control over current and voltage is the hallmark of voltage-source converter (VSC) technology.

Germany has led #standardization TenneT asked all of its suppliers to offer compatible 525-kV HVDC systems with room for extra switchgear, creating the option to interconnect today’s segments in larger networks."

Bring it on!

Since some years, there is talk about bringing the Matrix #protocol to the #IETF for #standardization. I assume, that has been done since long, but I missed the news?

Thanks for the link to #RightsRatchetModel meshedinsights.com/2021/02/02/ — it's a good read!

(Btw. #AGPL is fine for me, but I would strongly object to a #CLA in favour of a business I'm not involved in.)
