Biological Standardization

ضرورت استاندارد کردن عصاره گیاهان دارویی در تحقیقات و نحوه انجام آن

Background: Over 80% of the world population depends on herbal medicines and products for healthy living, and also, around 80% of all pharmaceutical materials are derived directly or indirectly from plant sources. So, there is increasing general acceptability of the use of medicinal plants in today’s medical sciences researches. Plants are valuable for modern medicine in four basic ways; ...

Food Quality Standards: Quality Issues and Challenges of Food Chain in Burkina Faso

Background: In Burkina Faso, the agricultural sector accounts for 35% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 82% of the active population. The agri-food industries must apply the requirements of the management systems to improve their economic position and ensure sustainable development. The present study aimed to highlight the similarities and particularities of these repositories gro...

Consistent design schematics for biological systems: standardization of representation in biological engineering.

The discovery by design paradigm driving research in synthetic biology entails the engineering of de novo biological constructs with well-characterized input-output behaviours and interfaces. The construction of biological circuits requires iterative phases of design, simulation and assembly, leading to the fabrication of a biological device. In order to represent engineered models in a consist...
