چکیده
Biotechnology, since the commencement of 1980, has become an integral feature of the public’s consciousness, hopes and fears. Issues such as novel diseases, genetically engineered foods, cloning, bioterrorism and biosafety impact and interact with the public’s feelings and instincts, which, in turn necessitate the comprehension and conveyance of the fundamentals of biotechnology in an easy and simplistic manner.

متن کاملThe Contribution of Observed and Unobserved Fundamentals to Exchange Rate Movements in Iran
Using a State-space model, this paper investigates the contribution of both observed and unobserved fundamentals to nominal exchange rate movement in Iran for the period 1991:2-2011:4. To this end, we follow Engel and West (2005) and Balke et al. (2013) and use an asset-pricing approach to develop a rational expectations present value exchange rate model. In order to examine the role of fun...
متن کاملBiosorption: current perspectives on concept, definition and application.
Biosorption is a physico-chemical and metabolically-independent process based on a variety of mechanisms including absorption, adsorption, ion exchange, surface complexation and precipitation. Biosorption processes are highly important in the environment and conventional biotreatment processes. As a branch of biotechnology, biosorption has been aimed at the removal or recovery of organic and in...
