BERLIN Women's Nike M2K Tekno Phantom Grey Silver UK , Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The rapist and murderer of a Chinese overseas student in Germany was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment, and his accomplice received a youth penalty of five years and six months for sexual coercion, a court in eastern German town of Dessau-Rosslau delivered the verdict Friday.
Local media Mitteldeutche Zeitung reported both defendants Men's Nike Air Vortex Total Orange Black UK , Sebastian F. and Xenia I., were also ordered to pay damages for pain and suffering of 60,000 euros.
Li Yangjie Men's Nike Air Safari Cobblestone UK , a 25-year-old architecture student went missing while jogging on the evening of May 11, 2016 in the city of Dessau. Her disfigured body was found abandoned in brush near the crime scene two days later before the police identified the both 20-year-old male and female suspects.
According to prosecutors, the two lured her to an empty apartment and then sexually assaulted her. When they found Li still alive Men's Nike Epic React Flyknit Olive Black Green UK , they carried the severely wounded victim away and abandoned her outside.
The case aroused tremendous public attention in both China and Germany. The male culprit's parents are both police officers, and dpa reported there had been temporary suspicion that the parents might have an influence on the investigation.
Chinese expatriates and overseas students across Germany had held memorials in various localities following the tragedy, also demanding a fair and just handling of the case.

Bacteria Fights Flouride Health Articles | January 23 Women's Nike Epic React Flyknit Cargo Khaki Black Green UK , 2012 Scientists have revealed how bacteria manages to fight our use of fluoride. Soon we will be able to use this information to enhance fluoride聮s effect on tooth decay.
Scientists have revealed how bacteria manages to fight our use of fluoride and soon we will be able to use this information to enhance fluoride聮s effect on tooth decay.
For over half a century the U.S. has been adding fluoride to toothpastes, some mouthwashes, and to water because of the fact that it is believed to help fight tooth decay. We all have bacteria in our mouths that live there naturally and feed on the residue of the food that we eat. As we all know it is this bacterial activity that causes enamel erosion and eventually tooth decay. Unfortunately however these bacteria have learned how to circumvent our use of fluoride and have managed to attack teeth anyway. With this new discovery scientists hope to change this circumvention and enhance fluoride聮s usefulness.
The information was recently published in the journal Science Express Men's Nike Air More Uptempo Black Reflective Black UK , where Yale researchers reported that certain sections of our RNA can detect larger quantities of fluoride than normal and will then activate bacterial defenses. The problem with this is that many of those bacterial defenses also cause enamel erosion and tooth decay. The sections of RNA are called riboswitches, and they are used to control how genes are expressed.
"These riboswitches are detectors made specifically to see fluoride," said Ronald Breaker Women's Nike Air Max 1 White UK , the Henry Ford II Professor and chair of the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and senior author of the study.
Since fluoride was made available to the American public in the 1950s we have seen a widespread reduction in the number of dental cavities every year. Logically this reduction is credited to the introduction of fluoride into household oral health products. Enamel works by protecting our teeth from the acids produced by the bacteria in the mouth, but when that bacteria gets to be too much it will erode through the enamel anyway. It is believed that fluoride bonds to the enamel of teeth and acts as a secondary enamel system Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2 Sail Anthracite UK , hardening on the teeth and continuing the protection of the teeth from bacterial acids. High concentrations of fluoride not only keep bacterial acid off of teeth, but are also toxic to the bacteria as well.
The researchers at Yale found in their study that the riboswitches in our RNA will try to change how fluoride interacts with the bacteria. "If fluoride builds up to toxic levels in the cell, a fluoride riboswitch grabs the fluoride and then turns on genes that can overcome its effects Women's Nike Air Max 270 Triple White UK ," said Breaker.
"We were stunned when we uncovered fluoride-sensing riboswitches" he said. "Scientists would argue that RNA is the worst molecule to use as a sensor for fluoride, and yet we have found more than 2000 of these strange RNAs in many organisms."
The researchers noted in their studies that there is evidence to suggest this riboswitch reaction has developed over long periods of time in many species. This means that the species studied will have had to surpass toxic levels of fluoride throughout their history.
Luckily for us we can now use this information to our advantage. Breaker and his team believe that we can use the knowledge learned from this study to manipulate the way the riboswitches work to increase fluori devastating effects on bacteria rather than diminishing them.
