Thermoluminescence Dosimetry Studies of Industrially Important Minerals

Evolutionary engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for improved industrially important properties.

This article reviews evolutionary engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Following a brief introduction to the 'rational' metabolic engineering approach and its limitations such as extensive genetic and metabolic information requirement on the organism of interest, complexity of cellular physiological responses, and difficulties of cloning in industrial strains, evolutionary engineering is di...

Improved Models for Thermodynamic Properties of Industrially Important Fluids

NIST work on the properties of hydrogen has been incorporated into two new standards that will support the development of hydrogen as a fuel in vehicle applications. A new, simplified equation for the density of hydrogen gas was developed for the draft SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) procedure J2572. The NIST REFPROP equations for the thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen for...

Approaches to sustainable development of arid regions

Interest in arid ecosystems as a source of food supply for rapidly increasing population of the world, on the one hand, and the problems pertaining to the climatic characteristics, water shortages and soil sensitivity for the inhabitants in such areas, on the other have prompted efforts at both national and international levels to develop a better understanding of these problems as well as to f...
