(2021-05-03)
Planning with ethnic minorities burdened under the “cross of history” poses many challenges for settler nation-states. These challenges are tied to identity, culture, historic context, the public representation of local ...
CRISPR-Cas9 Targeted Mutagenesis of Green Fluorescent Protein Transgene and a Native, Granule Bound Starch Synthase, Gene in Potato
(2021-04-16)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) was genetically modified using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, first to evaluate its efficacy in knocking out a genome-integrated transgene and then to alter its starch profile. The CRISPR system, ...
NIK/MAP3K14 IS A BIOENERGETIC STRESS SENSOR AND PROMOTER OF OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION
(2021-01-13)
The control of cell metabolism is intimately linked to the size and shape of mitochondria, which varies significantly across cell types. Mitochondria can elongate (fuse) with other nearby mitochondria, or they can fragment ...
INTEGRATION OF HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING AT THE EARLY DESIGN OF HYDROCARBON AND CHEMICAL PROCESSING FACILITIES
(2021-04-22)
Human error is a major recurrent theme in industrial incidents in the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry and Chemical Processing Industry. However, advances in the science of Human Factors have shown that human error is not ...
Microstructural Instabilities in Nickel-based Single Crystal Superalloys
(2021-04-28)
Single crystal superalloys, mostly Nickel-based, have been, so far, the material of choice for high-temperature applications, such as gas turbine blades. Single crystalline turbine blades are usually cast in the direction, ...
