Whereas first generation GMOs focused on agronomic input traits, it is expected that second and third generation GMOs will embrace new products that better meet consumers expectations. To this aim, scientists are increasingly seeking to exploit the potential for biotechnology to improve food quality, ...
Our analysis was inspired by the race to sequence the human genome, but the proposed theoretical framework can also be used to assess the recent evolution of other research fields, e.g., research on GMOs. The paper also provides guidelines for policies designed to achieve the optimal size of...
In this regard, Solar and Irwin [15], clearly distinguish between what are termed "structural determinants” and “intermediary determinants” in their conceptual framework for action on the social determinants of health, published as a World Health Organization (WHO) discussion paper: The central ...
GMOs (genetically modified organisms) can conduct the biodegradation process faster because they have a modified metabolism, which enables the secretion of substances that support the biodegradation process (Rebello et al.2021). Improvements in phytoremediation methods may include the development of new t...
(GMOs) and their applications in bioremediation, biopesticides and more; (iii) methods of proper management of waste and polluted air treatment using renewable and nonrenewable energy resources with more focus on bioenergy and biofuels; (iv) study of renewable biomass-derived carbonaceous materials ...
based evidence in four case studies on diverse policy debates in sub-Saharan Africa: The eviction of street hawkers in Accra, Ghana; The HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Bill, Uganda; The introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Zambia; and Reform of the chieftaincy, S...
(GMOs), especially as they pertained to foodstuffs marketed in Western Europe by American-based transnational corporations. Linking nanotechnology to GMOs rhetors intended to transfer the negative valence associated with the GMO fiasco to the bourgeoning field of nanoscience. This was followed closely ...
This paper reports research results from the application of the Radical Technology Inquirer (RTI) approach on the emergence of bioeconomy as part of the mega wave of socio-technical change that has taken off with the global financial crisis of ca. 2008 and is expected to peak around 2030. The...
improve guidance for aquatic organism species selection that is based on exposure characterization and extends the surrogate species concept used currently in terrestrial ERA. The goal of this paper is to help guide the ERA approach by demonstrating how comprehensive problem formulation can help identify...
Section 3 introduces previous research on biological technology development. Section 4 describes our methodology. Section 5 describes the dataset. The results of the biological patent analysis are discussed in Section 6, and the paper concludes with Section 7. 2. Background Biological technology ...
