Applications of biotechnology for development

(b) Applications of biotechnology for development.

(c) Applications of biotechnology for development.

This is learning something, learning an idea, from an organism and then applying it.

Once they could do that with cells, they could do it with organisms.

The biology faculty of the University of Havana was prevented from obtaining from the companies Sigma and Clontec a set of reagents for extracting DNA and RNA from biological samples, which are of use in studies with applications in biotechnology.

Can you imagine the potential offspring applications environmental detection of pollutants in soils, customs applications, detection of illicit goods in containers and so on.

Biomass. The increased use of biomass for energy production and heating should be fostered as one of the most effective climate protection measures.

The Biotechnology Action Council programme of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is focused on the applications of biotechnology in plants and marine life.

Humans the animal are pretty lucky creatures because, by and large, we really don't have to adapt to our environment we adapt our environment to us.

Safe applications of biotechnology have the potential to benefit almost all productive sectors.

While IAEA does not have a separate biotechnology programme, it promotes biotechnology where appropriate, to further nuclear applications.

Depending on the sensing molecules, the sensor can be designed to react to a range of reactants, from a specific chemical to entire classes of compounds.

While it does not work directly in the area of biotechnology, UNDP promotes the application of biotechnology for poverty alleviation.

Drug use patterns changed without a concomitant change in attitudes.

And a lot of animals will use their bioluminescence as a lure.

So, whether it's logistics and supply chain management or natural gas and resource extraction, financial services, pharmaceuticals, bioinformatics, those are the topics right now, but that's not a killer app.

Biotechnology related applications and products have permeated all sectors of the economy.

That will require the successful and environmentally safe application of biotechnology in agriculture.

UNEP has taken the lead in this programme area, having focused on biosafety by promoting the protection of the environment through the safe application of biotechnology and its products.

139. Those involved in biosecurity and arms control need to be prepared to adopt advanced biotechniques, even if these methods cannot be applied with ease today.

It is envisaged that the development and application of space plant biology will contribute significantly to the establishment of extraterrestrial human life support systems, in addition to advancing and contributing to Earth based biological and biomedical requirements.

Besides cartographic applications, the IRS 1C mission mainly addressed the following areas crops and vegetation applications with specific reference to mixed crops and vegetation discrimination biological parameters and oceanographic applications, in particular observations of physical oceanographic parameters such as winds, sea surface temperature, waves etc. and atmospheric applications for monitoring global changes such as the depletion of the ozone layer over the Antarctic region.

And then animators can take the data of the motion of those markers and apply them to a computer generated character.

Biofuels. Liquid biofuels are renewable transport fuels made from plant materials.

The sensing molecules react with the substances whose presence is being tested, generating an electric signal proportional to the concentrations detected.

(d) Bio ecology obtaining highly effective strains of micro organisms for producing biodegradable preparations of petroleum, organophosphorous substances, means of protecting plant life and exopolysaccharides used in the oil industry

Regenerative life support research has led to significant advance in the development of new biofilm resistant coatings using application techniques common in industry.

These coatings may have application to preventing biofilm buildup in a number of commercially important areas.

So we were keen to scale this up and apply biomimicry ideas to maximize the benefits.

151. Of course, sophisticated molecular biology techniques have applications that extend far beyond arms control.

For that reason, several United Nations bodies are helping countries to develop biosafety mechanisms to promote the safe use and application of biotechnology to maximize benefits and minimize risks.

In addition to studies conducted on the Mir station or using the Bion spacecraft, pure and applied research is being undertaken in the field of space biology and medicine, and radiation physics and radiation biology experiments, in which biological specimens are returned to Earth.

In my own laboratory, the way we're trying to create inorganic life is by using many different reaction formats.

And this is the ability to program physical and biological materials to change shape, change properties and even compute outside of silicon based matter.

The Technical Cooperation Network on Plant Biotechnology in Latin America and the Caribbean was established in 1990 to accelerate the adaptation, generation, transfer and application of plant biotechnology in relieving crop production constraints and in ensuring genetic resources conservations for the countries in the region.

A joint biotechnology program between NASA and the NIH emphasized establishing joint centers to accelerate transfer of NASA technology and allow its application to biomedical research, developing advanced tissue culturing technology for application to biomedical research and developmental biology advanced protein crystallization technologies to advance structural biology and drug design to fight diseases and technology for early detection of cataracts.

In order to exploit this potential to the full, the German Farmers' Association calls for the promotion of bioethanol production from sugar and or cereals in a manner corresponding to that of biodiesel.

Some types of biosensors, which can be expensive, cannot be used repeatedly i.e., once the sensing element detects a target substance, a one way chemical reaction takes place, and the spent sensing element must be replaced.

Chemical, biological, and nuclear attacks response units.

The 1972 Biological Weapons Convention likewise prohibits their use as well as the production, manufacture, and stockpiling of biological weapons.

That option should be supported. But official encouragement of production of bio fuels on land that would have been used for other purposes must stop.

An advanced course on biochemical engineering applications in environmental biotechnology and cleaner production was held at the Instituto Centroamericano de Investigación y Tecnología Industrial in Guatemala in September.

are authorized for the transport of any liquid or solid substance other than explosives, thermally unstable substances, organic peroxides, self reactive substances, substances where significant pressure may develop by evolution of chemical reaction and radioactive material (unless permitted in 4.1.9).
