GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS: PROMISES, CHALLENGES AND SAFETY ASSESSMENTS


Conversation-Based School Building Inspection Support System

A equi-jec 6 conversation-based system is proposed for supporting assessors in performing existing school building inspections.School building safety is a pressing issue; however, some difficulties in the overall process require solutions or improvements, including the complexity of building inspection tasks, the restrictions posed by the paperwork

Validation of dynamic heat-exchanger model for any combination of water and steam states using actual operating data

This paper validates the accuracy of the dynamic heat-exchanger model that deals with any combination of phase states like water and steam inside heat-exchanger tubes.A unique feature of the model is to constrain the mass flow of water and/or steam calculated by momentum balance to satisfy thermodynamic relationships by means of reducing the differ

Modeling Radicalization Phenomena in Heterogeneous Populations.

The phenomenon of radicalization is investigated within a mixed population composed of core and sensitive subpopulations.The latest includes first to third generation immigrants.Respective ways of life may be partially incompatible.In case of a conflict core agents behave as inflexible about the issue.In contrast, sensitive agents can decide either

A gene in the process of endosymbiotic transfer.

BACKGROUND: The endosymbiotic birth of organelles is accompanied by massive transfer of endosymbiont genes to the eukaryotic host nucleus.In the centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana the Psb28 protein is encoded in the plastid genome while a second version is nuclear-encoded and possesses a bipartite N-terminal presequence necessary to target the
