Agricultural research drives increases in agricultural productivity, and the number of private agricultural input firms has been declining. The empirical relationship between the number of firms doing applied biotechnology crop research and the amount of research output they produce is investigated in a research profit function model. Increases in seed industry concentration have reduced biotec...

Cellular automata (CA) are dynamic systems, successfully used in mathematics, biology, chemistry or physics. The random generated by these systems has also been used in computer science (e.g. games industry) as well as in cryptographic applications (e.g. random number generators). As in the case of more well-known LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register), the usefulness of these systems in cryptog...

Introduction Nowadays, single-use bioreactors are widely accepted in pharmaceutical industry. This is based on shorter batch to batch times, reduced cleaning effort and a significantly lower risk of cross contaminations [1,2]. One large field of the application of single-use bioreactors is the seed train cultivation of mammalian cells [1]. The focus is further extended to perform state of the a...

Phosphate concentrations in municipal and agricultural wastewaters continuously increase because of the growing use of detergents and fertilizers. Thus, it seems that phosphate recovery from wastewater as calcium phosphate would be attractive due to the vast applications of calcium phosphate in industry. In the current experimental study, the phosphate recovery by addition of calcium chloride t...

White rot caused by Sclerotium cepivorum Berk is a significant threat to garlic and onion industry in the United States. The pathogen produces a great number of poppy seed-sized sclerotia, which can survive in soil for many years. Populations of just a few sclerotia per liter soil can potentially cause severe disease and result in crop failure. Once the land has been infested, it is generally c...

As in many other countries, the take-up rate of eCommerce in Australian SMEs has been poor. The Australian Government has attempted to address this (in part) through its ‘Information Technology On-Line’ (ITOL) program – a program that aims to accelerate the adoption of eCommerce through the provision of seed funding to on-line projects proposed by industry-based consortia. Some 81 projects have...

Meat quality is becoming more important as consumers worldwide are increasingly demanding consistently higher quality meat. This article looks at the improvement of meat quality and also focuses on applied animal husbandry practices that can influence meat quality. Breeding technology for meat quality is still in its infancy, and will only accelerate with new developments in genetic markers, ge...
