Abklatschuntersuchung

Die Abklatschuntersuchung ist eine Methode, um die Belastung einer

Oberfläche mit Keimen zu untersuchen und zu bestimmen. Beim

" Abklatschen " wird ein Nährboden kurz auf die zu untersuchende

Oberfläche gedrückt. Die sich auf der zu untersuchenden Oberfläche

befindlichen Keime werden von dem Nährboden aufgenommen. Der Nährboden

wird im Anschluss im " Brutkasten " aufbewahrt und nach einer

festgelegten Zeit untersucht, um die Anzahl und Art der Keime

festzustellen.

Though not 100% sure, I think that this method in English is called

" imprint method " , see e.g.

Hello ,

First of all, I agree with Gilbert's previous propositions

(dermatosis, exudative, papules et al).

My academic Aussie colleagues and I always called articles printed

separately from a journal, " reprints " . In any case, when you publish

a paper in a journal, the journal sends you " reprints " of your

article that you can distribute to colleagues, admiring fans and

your mother ;-).

If they're printed at the same time as the journal in which the article

appears they're " offprints " , if printed subsequently they're " reprints " .

All the best

1. What have we decided to call Sonderdruck (a freestanding

scientific paper, originally in a journal)?

---> reprint

2. How have we decided to distinguish between

Abstrich-/Abklatschkultur? My dictionary refers to both as 'smear'.

---> smear

3. Is a Nativkultur a native culture, or is that a falsches Freund?

---> wet mount

4. ... itching, blisters, pustules, scaling, *** papeln *** = ?

---> papules

Hi Owen:

appears they're " offprints " , if printed subsequently they're " reprints "

This is correct when you order these things from the publisher,

but in the real world (i.e. when you aks your collegues to send you some)

there are always called " repints - at least everywhere where I have worked

in North America

Hello Ursula and Sue

The last time I had anything much to do with " offprints " / " reprints " was

about a dozen years ago and these were copies of articles in the fields of

biology, zoology and ecology in the UK. In that context they were referred

to as offprints but time and circumstances may well have substituted

" reprints " as the standard term. I'm happy to defer to anyone with a more

up-to-date knowledge of the usage than me.

All the best

Owen

Thanks to Gilberto for imprint etc, Sue for reprint, Owen for offprint,

Ursula for wet mount, everyone for the discussion.

I simply couldn't remember reprint/offprint, even though I've had those

myself from magzines that had published my contributions. My dictionaries were

no

help, for some reason. I struggled with printout, imprint etc and rejected them

all. I do have to concur with whoever it was who said that although

publishers use offprint/reprint, in the real world it's always the latter.

Thanks all,

[Guest guest]

Hi Owen:

maybe " offprint " is more often used in the UK? My experience with

" reprints " also goes back many years (in the same fields), but always in a

North American setting. When looking up the two terms in Oxford's and

Webster's, I noticed that " reprint " has several meanings, one of them being

" offprint " .

Best regards,

Ursula
