Book Synopsis Sugar, Threat Or Challenge? by : Clive Yolande Thomas
Download or read book Sugar, Threat Or Challenge? written by Clive Yolande Thomas and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the "threat" to the traditional role ofsucrose as the leading sweetener brought about by severaltechnological innovations and the "challenges" afforded bysimilar innovations in sucrochemistry. Sucrochemistry is a newfield of science, whose essence is to treat sucrose not as asweetner but as a chemical product that can be transformed intoother chemicals of greater worth. The promise of a radicaldeparture from the traditional sequences of industrialization oftropical staples exists, and its implications for developingareas and the Caribbean are drawn.
Book Synopsis Biophysics and Structure to Counter Threats and Challenges by : Joseph D. Puglisi
Download or read book Biophysics and Structure to Counter Threats and Challenges written by Joseph D. Puglisi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ASI brought together a diverse group of experts who span virology, biology, biophysics, chemistry, physics and engineering. Prominent lecturers representing world renowned scientists from nine (9) different countries, and students from around the world representing eighteen (18) countries, participated in the ASI organized by Professors Joseph Puglisi (Stanford University, USA) and Alexander Arseniev (Moscow, RU). The central hypothesis underlying this ASI was that interdisciplinary research, merging principles of physics, chemistry and biology, can drive new discovery in detecting and fighting chemical and bioterrorism agents, lead to cleaner environments and improved energy sources, and help propel development in NATO partner countries. At the end of the ASI students had an appreciation of how to apply each technique to their own particular research problem and to demonstrate that multifaceted approaches and new technologies are needed to solve the biological challenges of our time. The course succeeded in training a new generation of biologists and chemists who will probe the molecular basis for life and disease.

Book Synopsis Biophysics and the Challenges of Emerging Threats by : Joseph Puglisi
Download or read book Biophysics and the Challenges of Emerging Threats written by Joseph Puglisi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-05-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-molecule techniques eliminate ensemble averaging, thus revealing transient or rare species in heterogeneous systems [1–3]. These approaches have been employed to probe myriad biological phenomena, including protein and RNA folding [4–6], enzyme kinetics [7, 8], and even protein biosynthesis [1, 9, 10]. In particular, immobilization-based fluorescence te- niques such as total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M) have recently allowed for the observation of multiple events on the millis- onds to seconds timescale [11–13]. Single-molecule fluorescence methods are challenged by the instability of single fluorophores. The organic fluorophores commonly employed in single-molecule studies of biological systems display fast photobleaching, intensity fluctuations on the millisecond timescale (blinking), or both. These phenomena limit observation time and complicate the interpretation of fl- rescence fluctuations [14, 15]. Molecular oxygen (O) modulates dye stability. Triplet O efficiently 2 2 quenches dye triplet states responsible for blinking. This results in the for- tion of singlet oxygen [16–18]. Singlet O reacts efficiently with organic dyes, 2 amino acids, and nucleobases [19, 20]. Oxidized dyes are no longer fluor- cent; oxidative damage impairs the folding and function of biomolecules. In the presence of saturating dissolved O , blinking of fluorescent dyes is sup- 2 pressed, but oxidative damage to dyes and biomolecules is rapid. Enzymatic O -scavenging systems are commonly employed to ameliorate dye instability. 2 Small molecules are often employed to suppress blinking at low O levels.

Book Synopsis State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
Book Synopsis Confronting Challenges, Maximising Opportunities by :
Download or read book Confronting Challenges, Maximising Opportunities written by and published by Ian Randle Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following the conclusion of the Second World War, the countries of the Caribbean faced serious challenges that threatened their individual survival. Political independence was meaningless without economic independence and the newly independent states of the Caribbean found themselves severely challenges by an international economic system founded on a development paradigm premised on the belief that the accumulation of wealth was the sole route to prosperity and that creating the conditions for more wealth was the preferred pathway to sustainable development. There have been numerous changes to this scenario over the years and Confronting Challenges Maximising Opportunities traces the Caribbean s response to the varying challenges. Using market access as the point to highlight specific challenges, this collection examines Caribbean Diplomacy and paints a picture of the imperatives for social and economic development and the need for a proactive stance to the conditionalities inherent in market access negotiations.

Book Synopsis Challenges and Change in Middle America by : Katie Willis
Download or read book Challenges and Change in Middle America written by Katie Willis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to the important economic, social and political processes and development issues in this extremely popular region. The Central American nations and those of the Caribbean (including Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana on the mainland) share many historical processes as well as experiencing similar development problems today. These include European colonialism, structural adjustment, small size, reliance on primary production, influence of the United States and moves towards democratisation. While Mexico is obviously a much larger country in area, economy and population terms, it is included in this volume because of its close ties to the other countries in the region through processes such as trade and migration.
