Book Synopsis Biotechnology of Blood Proteins by : Claude Rivat
Download or read book Biotechnology of Blood Proteins written by Claude Rivat and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 1993 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are today five major proteins in plasma fractioning. In the near future, other fractions could also be used as therapeutic agents. But perhaps they could be used for alternative, non-therapeutic applications? For example, producing human culture media with specific ingredients for biotechnology research might also be of use. Whatever the future may hold, there is one essential question: in today's world of cellular and genetic engineering, are extracted therapeutic proteins still of any relevance? For a clear and up-to-date view of recent developments in blood-protein-separation technology, this book will prove an invaluable resource.

Book Synopsis The Light-Green Society by : Michael Bess
Download or read book The Light-Green Society written by Michael Bess and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-11-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accelerating interpenetration of nature and culture is the hallmark of the new "light-green" social order that has emerged in postwar France, argues Michael Bess in this penetrating new history. On one hand, a preoccupation with natural qualities and equilibrium has increasingly infused France's economic and cultural life. On the other, human activities have laid an ever more potent and pervasive touch on the environment, whether through the intrusion of agriculture, industry, and urban growth, or through the much subtler and more well-intentioned efforts of ecological management. The Light-Green Society limns sharply these trends over the last fifty years. The rise of environmentalism in the 1960s stemmed from a fervent desire to "save" wild nature-nature conceived as a qualitatively distinct domain, wholly separate from human designs and endeavors. And yet, Bess shows, after forty years of environmentalist agitation, much of it remarkably successful in achieving its aims, the old conception of nature as a "separate sphere" has become largely untenable. In the light-green society, where ecology and technological modernity continually flow together, a new hybrid vision of intermingled nature-culture has increasingly taken its place.
Book Synopsis Governing Molecules by : Herbert Gottweis
Download or read book Governing Molecules written by Herbert Gottweis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, investors, policymakers, the media, and the general public have all displayed a continuing interest in the commercial promise and potential dangers of genetic engineering. In this book, Herbert Gottweis explains how genetic engineering became so controversial—a technology that some seek to promote by any means and others want to block entirely. Beginning with a clear exposition of poststructuralist theory and its implications for research methodology, Gottweis offers a novel approach to political analysis, emphasizing the essential role of narratives in the development of policy under contemporary conditions. Drawing on more than eighty in-depth interviews and extensive archival work, Gottweis traces today's controversy back to the sociopolitical and scientific origins of molecular biology, paying particular attention to its relationship to eugenics. He argues that over the decades a number of mutually reinforcing political and scientific strategies have attempted to turn genes into objects of technological intervention—to make them "governable." Looking at critical events such as the 1975 Asilomar conference in the United States, the escalating conflict in Germany, and regulatory disputes in Britain and France during the 1980s, Gottweis argues that it was the struggle over boundaries and representations of genetic engineering, politics, and society that defined the political dynamics of the drafting of risk regulations in these countries. In a key chapter on biotechnology research, industry, and supporting technology policies, Gottweis demonstrates that the interpretation of genetic engineering as the core of a new "high technology" industry was part of a policy myth and an expression of identity politics. He suggests that under postmodern conditions a major strategy for avoiding policy failure is to create conditions that ensure tolerance and respect for the multiplicity of socially available policy narratives and reality interpretations.
Book Synopsis Transgenic Plants in Agriculture by : Axel Kahn
Download or read book Transgenic Plants in Agriculture written by Axel Kahn and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 1999 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Axel Kahn's book, published late in 1996, which provided an overview of the opinions expressed by the Commission of Biomolecular Engineering about genetically modified plants, was a great success. Given the scale and importance of the phenomenon, the French Ministry of Agriculture and publishers John Libbey Eurotext have decided to publish an English-language version of this fundamental book about the introduction and development of genetically modified plants. For some years now, plant biotechnology, especially genetic engineering, has enabled us to modify the cycle of plant production, strengthening resistance to weedkillers and pests, improving yields and quality, adapting plants to unfavourable environments and creating new species. In France, the Biomolecular Engineering Commission (CGB) is responsible for authorising the marketing of these modified products. Over the past ten years it has certified 450 new products for public consumption. This book, which is suitable for the general public, reports on the experience acquired by the CGB and the studies it has conducted: What are the potential risks associated with so-called transgenetic plants? Are there any undetectable phenomena involved? - How can such plants be produced more safely? Axel Kahn is a world-renowned geneticist and clinician, chaired the Biomolecular Engineering Commission until 1998. Here he explains the "philosophy" of the CGB, which has gained unrivalled experience in Europe, and sets out ethical and scientific guidelines for the use of genetic engineering techniques.

Book Synopsis Le brevet, outil de la valorisation et de l'innovation by : ACADEMIE DES SCIENCES
Download or read book Le brevet, outil de la valorisation et de l'innovation written by ACADEMIE DES SCIENCES and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La compétition internationale dans le domaine des sciences et des technologies, pilier de l'économie mondialisée, incite inévitablement à réfléchir sur les brevets d'invention, leur pratique et leur devenir. Depuis plus de 10 ans, l'Académie des sciences mène une réflexion sur les questions de propriété intellectuelle dans la recherche, ce qui l'a déjà conduite à organiser, avec l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques, cinq colloques sur ces questions, publiés dans la même collection. Le 5 juillet 2011, l'Académie des sciences et l'Académie des technologies se sont associées pour consacrer un nouveau colloque aux derniers développements du droit et de la pratique des brevets, en tant qu'outils de l'innovation et de la valorisation. Les actes de ce colloque sont consacrés dans un premier temps au droit positif des brevets d'invention et de leur valorisation. Dans un second temps, sont examinées les évolutions, positives ou négatives, que l'économie mondialisée risque de produire ou a déjà commencé de produire sur le droit actuel, de même que les réactions qu'elle suscite, ou devrait susciter, à tort ou à raison. Pour mener ces réflexions, les Académies ont fait appel aussi bien à des intervenants issus du monde de l'industrie qu'à des chercheurs et universitaires, mais également à des représentants de cabinets de brevets, de l'Office européen des brevets et de la Commission européenne. D'élément d'une stratégie d'entreprise à une stratégie d'État, le droit des brevets, souvent encore national, est confronté à cette économie mondialisée. De celle-ci découle également la multiplication des acteurs intervenant dans ce champ d'action traditionnellement restreint aux relations entre inventeurs et employeurs d'une part, brevetés et licenciés d'autre part. Le monopole accordé par le brevet est-il à remettre en cause ou doit-il être modifié du fait de cette évolution ? Autant de questions auxquelles le présent ouvrage contribue à répondre.
Book Synopsis Biotechnology: Economic and Social Aspects by : E. J. DaSilva
Download or read book Biotechnology: Economic and Social Aspects written by E. J. DaSilva and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in 1992. This book deals with an area of great importance: the issues involved in developing biotechnologically based industries in the developing countries. The science and most of the techniques are well established and it is often possible to obtain the desired finance. This book, however, examines the sort of choices that a developing country has to make as to whether to go ahead with any of the projects outlined in the book and their likely socio-economic consequences. Each chapter is written by experts in their field and discusses the current biotechnologically based industries and their state of development, their suitability for various economies and the problems associated with developing them. Chapters discuss environmental questions and further socio-economic factors that need to be considered in order to bring about successful wealth creation in these countries. This book will be invaluable reading for all those interested in biotechnology and its application to the developing world.
Book Synopsis Microbial BioTechnology for Sustainable Agriculture Volume 1 by : Naveen Kumar Arora
Download or read book Microbial BioTechnology for Sustainable Agriculture Volume 1 written by Naveen Kumar Arora and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explains the recent findings on the mutualistic plant–microbe interactions and how they can be utilized for sustainable agriculture practices including land reclamation. The book covers mainly plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) including both the symbiotic bacteria and fungi and their role in mobilization of nutrients, providing protection to the crops from phytopathogens and abiotic stresses. PGPMs play important roles in survival and health of the plant. These useful microorganisms provide plants with nutrients, protect them from pathogens and help them combat abiotic stresses. It is important that these mutualistic interactions between plant and soil microbes are well understood so as to develop reliable products in the form of biostimulants and biopesticides, as well as managing biotic and abiotic stresses in crops. Apart from enhancing crop productivity plant–microbe interactions can also perform activities such as reclamation of degraded lands, degradation of pollutants and remediation of saline or marginal lands. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, plant scientists and microbiologists. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, microbiology, biotechnology, ecology, soil science and environmental sciences.
Book Synopsis L’exploitation des ressources génétiques marines hors juridiction nationale by : Valérie Wyssbrod
Download or read book L’exploitation des ressources génétiques marines hors juridiction nationale written by Valérie Wyssbrod and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Exploitation of Marine Genetic Resources in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction by Valérie Wyssbrod begins by identifying the legal regime applicable to these underexploited resources which offer vast potential for the development of new drugs, bioplastics, depolluting products and other innovations. The author then outlines provisions for a new treaty, currently under discussion at the UN and presents alternatives to a new regime including revised legal instruments, the development of soft law and the creation of an applicable ecolabel. Dans L’exploitation des ressources génétiques marine hors juridiction nationale, Valérie Wyssbrod détermine en premier lieu le régime juridique actuellement applicable à ces ressources. Ces dernières représentent à l’heure actuelle un potentiel énorme pour le développement de nouveaux médicaments, bioplastiques, dépolluants, etc. Encore peu exploitées, elles seront sans aucun doute au coeur d’un futur processus d’innovation et de nouveaux brevets. Dans un second temps, l’auteur dessine les contours et les principaux axes d’un nouveau traité spécifique, projet actuellement discuté à l’ONU. Valérie Wyssbrod explore finalement trois alternatives au nouveau traité : le remplacement du régime actuel par un autre régime existant, le développement d’un instrument de soft law et la création d’un écolabel.
