Stranded 2 Game

[Debora Mccaffery]

Compatiblewith a wide range of samples, including low-quality DNA/RNA and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, TruSeq Stranded Total RNA couples all of the benefits of TruSeq RNA technology with Ribo-Zero ribosomal RNA reduction chemistry. The product enables analysis of coding and multiple forms of noncoding RNA with precise measurement of strand orientation, uniform coverage, and high-confidence discovery of features such as alternative transcripts, gene fusions, and allele-specific expression.

Consistent, precise measurement of RNA abundance is reflected by high reproducibility between technical replicates. These technical replicates of FFPE tissue show high concordance, indicating robust library prep performance. Axes are log2(FPKM). R2 value is shown.

TruSeq Stranded Total RNA gives excellent coverage across the top 1000 expressed transcripts in both fresh-frozen (FF, top) and FFPE (bottom) tumor and matched normal breast tissue, with > 98% aligned stranded reads. X-axis: position along transcript, Y-axis: percent coverge of combined reads.

Companies extracting oil, gas, and coal could be affected by stranded assets as a result of the low-carbon transition, but it is not only the fossil fuel sector that is at risk. Other sectors that use fossil fuels as inputs for production, or are otherwise energy- or carbon-intensive, could also be impacted (the aviation sector, for example). As the world transitions away from high-carbon activities, all technologies and investments that cannot be adapted to low-carbon and zero-emission modes could face stranding.

Several factors could lead to assets becoming stranded. These include: new government regulations that limit the use of fossil fuels (like carbon pricing); a change in demand (for example, a shift towards renewable energy because of lower energy costs); or even legal action against high emitters.

Coal-fired power plants are the most exposed to the risk of becoming stranded and would have to retire 10 to 30 years earlier than they have done in the past to meet international climate goals. Under the Paris Agreement countries have to submit increasingly ambitious plans to cut their emissions (through their Nationally Determined Contributions), which could leave more assets stranded, although firms and investors may still be unsure of when and how these emissions reductions will happen.

The risk of stranded assets might not be fully reflected in the value of companies that extract, distribute or rely heavily on fossil fuels. If this risk were priced in, a sudden drop in value could result, presenting a risk to investors and shareholders.

The economic impact of stranded assets could amount to trillions of dollars. However, the size of potential losses is difficult to estimate because it depends on different future scenarios and how they would affect the value of the underlying assets. For example, an oil company could diversify its portfolio to include renewable energy, or a coal company might be surprised by how quickly technology shifts towards other forms of power production. But, to get an idea of the scale, global estimates of potential stranded fossil fuel assets amount to at least $1 trillion (for example, in 2022 Semieniuk et al. estimated that around $1.4 trillion in oil and gas assets globally are at risk of becoming stranded). Other studies have tried to estimate the risks outside the fossil fuel industry, such as in the buildings and industry sectors.

While we do not have enough information to say for sure, many supervisory authorities (e.g. the ESRB, Finansinspektionen and De Nederlandsche Bank) are considering this question and concluding that there is a potential risk of an abrupt transition having destabilising effects on the financial system. This is less about the shift away from fossil fuels than about how smoothly it is done. For example, credible climate policy can help firms put long-term strategies into place for a slower and smoother adjustment that would avoid sudden shocks. However, the continuing expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and insufficient transparency on the valuation of these assets raises concern that such risks continue to be underestimated by financial institutions.

Individuals concerned about stranded asset risk could talk to their pension funds or asset managers about reducing portfolio exposure to carbon-intensive assets, or increasing investment in low-carbon assets such as renewable energy.

The implementation of ambitious near-term climate policy by governments is essential to avoid investments in new carbon-intensive assets that might later be stranded. To limit future disruptions from existing assets at risk of being stranded, governments will need to rapidly phase out fossil fuel-based infrastructure while developing new low-carbon alternatives in a considered way.

Carbon Tracker introduced the concept of stranded assets to get people thinking about the implications of not adjusting investment in line with the emissions trajectories required to limit global warming.

For existing assets, our research can highlight those assets which are most at risk of becoming stranded through the energy transition, as society looks to restrict global warming to well below 2C, as under the Paris Agreement. There are already examples of coal mines, coal and gas power plants, and other hydrocarbon reserves which have become stranded by the low carbon transition.

For potential new investments, our research aims to prevent stranded assets arising by identifying where capital expenditure may be allocated to investments which may not yield the expected returns as the world decarbonises. Our focus is therefore on advancing the energy transition through the stewardship of capital, with the intention of preventing it from being wasted.

Investors have recognised the value of companies considering a range of scenarios in their business planning, including a scenario of 2C or lower, by supporting initiatives and resolutions which ask companies to report on the implications of this future for their business.

Mine has been like this for over a week. I have spoken to 4 different people but the language barrier is very hard to get around. I decided to only communicate via email & I'm still getting mixed messages. I was told that I had been verified & that all I had to do was sign back into my account , however, when I did, nothing changed. Inventory is still stranded & I am still "NOT FULLY BOARDED." It is very discouraging as I am a very new seller with not one sale thus far.

I am having the exact same issue! My inventory was active in one location and receiving in another location, then the inventory was stranded. I went to the email link and it took me to my seller account info. My bank information is all correct and active. I also have nothing else to verify. Everything else says verified. What to do???

i have had the same issue, inventory reached fba warehouse a month ago, and still showing stranded inventory due to account not fully onboard, spoke to numerous seller supports but they seems to have no authority to check on your account verification status. apart from that, no other supports have been replying on my account verification case.

IOM has repeatedly called for migrants to be included in national COVID-19 response and recovery plans. Too often, however, they are excluded from or, due to their irregular status, unwilling to seek health and other social support services, a situation exacerbated by rising anti-migrant sentiment in some countries.
