It looks like good protection against scratches and dings, but because there is minimal shock-absorbing material inside the bumper, I wonder how much protection there would be against the concussion of a drop.
Work placements, Lyne says, serve as evidence of a student's preparation to transition to industrial employment with minimal culture shock.

I'd done the Trans-Siberian Railway from St Petersburg to Beijing, via Moscow and Siberia, six years before with minimal culture shock, and felt like Russia wasn't half as dangerous as everyone suddenly wanted it to be.
By contrast, pZ310 which is expressed from a minimal heat shock promoter responds to the tissue-specific control that restricts its expression to the posterior follicle cells, but is insensitive to the line-specific control, since it is expressed in both the U and S genetic backgrounds (Fig. 1).
Sequence elements: Sp1 = specificity protein one binding site; mHSP = minimal heat shock promoter; LTR = long terminal repeat; WPRE = woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element.
The gene consists of a multimerized E/GRE response element (hybrid ecdysone/glucorticoid response element) in front of an Sp1 activator and a minimal heat shock promoter (mHSP, Figure 1A) (No et al., 1996).
The pCa4B vector was modified to include the following features from the pHStinger vector [ 53]: the pHStinger polylinker (replacing the pCa4B polylinker), a minimal Heat shock protein 70 (Hspromotermoter driving a GAL4 or GFP reporter gene, and gypsy chromatin insulators to block influence of flanking enhancers that would otherwise modify reporter expression via enhancer trap effects.
One explanation for this difference is that these Gal4-VP16 transgenic lines use a minimal heat-shock promoter, which can induce non-specific early Gal4 expression.
Data from the Cairns group HybMap study include hybridizations using poly(A -enriched RNA -enrichedas well as samples fRNA alternative growth conditionsamplesmas medium, heat shock and DNA damage) (Additional file 1; Table S1) [ 26].
