Abstract New genomic techniques (NGTs) are powerful technologies with the potential to change how we relate our food, food producers, and natural environment. Their use may affect practices values societies built on. Like many countries, EU is currently revisiting its GMO legislation accommodate emergence of NGTs. We argue that assessing such according whether they ‘safe enough’ will not create...

Introduction Conclusions References

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) have been widely used in many industrial applications. In This paper a new method for multi objective optimal design of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSMs) with surface mounted permanent magnet rotor is presented to achieve maximum efficiency and power density using a Bees algorithm for industrial applications. The objective function is a...

Since independence, Myanmar has prioritised a non-aligned foreign policy to preserve autonomy in the international arena. Yet, it done so contrasting and sometimes opposite ways. Historically, Myanmar's great power diplomacy resembled pendulum swinging between two ideal types: ‘positive non-alignment’ ‘negative neutralism’. The former represents proactive blend of behaviour that seeks assert in...
