Water and Energy: Integrated Challenges, Integrated Solutions

Nov 7, 2010
Jared Ciferno
Water, once considered a nearly inexhaustible resource, is becoming increasingly limited, and water requirements for electricity production must compete with other demands, such as agriculture and sanitation. The Department of Energy's (DOE) Fossil Energy Program is conducting a considerable R&...

Chemical Engineering Outside the Pipe: Industrial Ecology and Sustainability

Nov 7, 2010
Roland Clift
The 2010 Danckwerts lecture is concerned with explaining the emerging field of Industrial Ecology (IE) and why it represents a new and important area for application of the skills of the chemical engineer. Wikipedia, defines Industrial Ecology (IE) as “a ‘systems-based, multidisciplinary discourse...

QbD for Generic Drugs: Modified Release Drug Products

Nov 7, 2010
Andre Raw
The Office of Generic Drugs ensures the therapeutic equivalence and quality of generic drug product pharmaceuticals. This is based principally upon a regulatory paradigm that requires pharmaceutically equivalent drug products containing the same active ingredient, dosage form, and strength (among...

Model-Driven Minimization of the B. Subtilis Genome

Nov 7, 2010
Christopher Henry
Bacillus subtilis is a gram positive, sporulating bacteria often utilized in industry as a producer of high quality enzymes and proteins [1]. The flexible growth conditions, rapid growth rate, and natural competence of B. subtilis make it an ideal candidate for scientific study and industrial use...

 A Microrna Based Synthetic Network as Stable Expression Unit in Mammalian Cells

Nov 7, 2010
Leonidas Bleris
The utility and scalability of complex synthetic gene networks is hampered by fluctuations in stoichiometry between different gene products in individual cells. A critical contribution to the fluctuations arises from variation in the basic transcription efficiency of a gene product that in turn is...
