Biotechnological and Technical Challenges Related to Cultured Meat Production

Commentary: In vitro-cultured meat production.

Microbial challenges of poultry meat production.

Food safety and shelf-life are both important microbial concerns in relation to broiler meat production. Focus is mainly placed on the absence or control of potentially pathogenic microbes such as Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. but, from the commercial point of view, other spoilage bacteria also play a role as potential threats. Regarding food safety, the primary target should be the pr...

Understanding the Technical and Privacy Related Challenges

This paper reports on the work on a new service using text mining on SMS data: SMSTrends. The service extracts trends in the form of keywords from SMS messages sent and received by ad hoc location-based communities of users. Trends are then presented to the user using a phone widget, which is regularly updated to show the latest trends. This allows the user to see what the user community is tex...

Some legal and technical issues related to water-spreading weirs

Indigenous flood harvesting method for irrigation in Khorasan, which are called water-spreading weir are constructed and operated by farmers without any cost to the government. Although, the benefits of water-spreading weirs are clear for many experts and the authorities as well, this method receives a little attention by governmental soil and water conservation services. This problem and a few...

Biotechnological Production of Vitamins

Vitamins are defined as essential micronutrients that are required in trace quantity and cannot be synthesized by mammals. Apart from their in vivo nutritional and physiological roles as growth factors for men, animals, plants and microorganisms, vitamins are now being increasingly introduced as food/feed additives, as medical-therapeutic agents, as health aids, and also as technical aids.
