Applications in Bio-informatics and Biomedical Engineering
In this paper, an overview of the main topics presented in the special session of bioinformatics and biomedical engineering is presented. Bioinformatics consists of two subfields: the development of computational tools and databases, and the application of these tools and databases in generating biological knowledge to better understand living systems, being the main subject genomics and proteo...
متن کاملSurface Engineering of Multifunctional Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications: a Brief Update
Context: In recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. Introduction: <span style="color...
متن کاملEnergy Efficiency: An Engineering Pathway towards Sustainability
Today global warming, climate change and energy supply are of greater concern as it is widely realized that the planet earth does not provide an infinite capacity for absorbing human industrialization in the 21 century. The aim of this paper is to analyze upstream and downstream electricity production in selected case studies: a coal power plant, a pump system and a microwave oven covering and ...
متن کاملProtein engineering and other bio-synthetic routes for bio-based materials: current uses and potential applications
Since the pioneer work of Stanley Cohen, Herbert Boyer and their collaborators almost 40 years ago (Cohen et al., 1973), genetic engineering had advanced greatly. The tools and resources available to the genetic engineer open new opportunities in genome engineering (Carr and Church, 2009) and synthetic biology (Lu et al., 2009). But still much needs to be done to build and control biological sy...
متن کاملEngineering sustainability: thermodynamics, energy systems, and the environment
Thermodynamic concepts have been utilized by practitioners in a variety of disciplines with interests in environmental sustainability, including ecology, economics and engineering. Widespread concern about resource depletion and environmental degradation are common to them all. It has been argued that these consequences of human development are reflected in thermodynamic parameters and methods ...
