The Foundry: the DNA synthesis and construction Foundry at Imperial College

The establishment of a DNA synthesis and construction foundry at Imperial College in London heralds a new chapter in the development of synthetic biology to meet new global challenges. The Foundry employs the latest technology to make the process of engineering biology easier, faster and scalable. The integration of advanced software, automation and analytics allows the rapid design, build and ...

DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM HEAT STRESS INDEX AT A FOUNDRY

This paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. The field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift w...

The UNEP Ontologies and the OBO Foundry

It is now generally accepted that wherever we need to address multiple different kinds of data deriving from multiple different kinds of sources, a strategy is required to ensure interoperability across the various systems involved. The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) is developing an ontology for use in their knowledge management platform—the Sustainable Development Goals Interface...
