The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Biotechnology is expected by many observers to have a significant impact on the world dairy industry over the next decade. In this timely volume Lovell Jarvis analyzes the potential effect of two biotechnologies—multiple ovulation and embryo transfers (MOET) and recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST—on the dairy industry around the world. According to Jarvis's research the effects of these two technologies will vary greatly between the developed and developing nations. He predicts that the technologies will be most profitable for the developed nations where their use will increase milk production and strengthen their positions in dairy export markets. Developing country dairy sectors will probably lose from the use of these two biotechnologies as their own international trade position will be weakened though their own consumers should benefit. Jarvis concludes his study with a look at alternative approaches that might improve the competitive position of developing countries in the dairy sector. | The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms such as auditoria but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them. Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of physics sound perception and applications for small spaces Acoustics of Small Rooms brings together important facets of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections it covers: Sound propagation—the effects of boundaries sound absorbers and time conditions Physiology and psychoacoustics Methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization Examples of how these principles apply in real situations Measurement and modeling techniques

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals peanut tree nuts dried fruits coffee cocoa grapes spices…) both in the field and after harvest particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin or by transfer in food products of animal (milk eggs meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries particularly in Europe have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on important aspects of mycotoxins e. g. mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems mycotoxin occurrence toxicity analysis and management. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently using predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in the occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative tools were also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health of consumers alternative methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested in pre- and post-harvest using microorganisms natural substances or radiation treatments. | Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Traditional fermented foods are not only the staple food for most of developing countries but also the key healthy food for developed countries. As the healthy functions of these foods are gradually discovered more high throughput biotechnologies are being used to promote the fermented food industries. As a result the microorganisms process biochemistry manufacturing and down-streaming processing as well as the bioactive metabolites released by the fermenting organisms and above all the healthy functions of these foods were extensively researched. The application and progress of biotechnology and biochemistry of traditional fermented food systems are different from each other as the microorganisms and the food matrices vary widely. Part I (Biochemistry and Biotechnology) of this book (Fermented Foods) discusses the general aspects of biochemistry and biotechnological application of fermented foods involving acetic acid bacteria lactic acid bacteria ethanolic yeasts and fungi in accelerating the many and variable functional factors in the fermented foods as well as metagenomics of fermented foods. The detailed technological interventions involved in different categories of fermented foods such as fermented cereals (bread and sourdough) fermented milk products (yogurt cheese) fermented sausages fermented vegetables (kimchi sauerkraut) fermented legumes (tempeh natto) and coffee and cocoa fermentations and fermented beverages (animal- and plant-based) with their potential and actual health benefits are discussed in Part II (Fermented Foods: Technological Interventions). | Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Design is about the creation of meaningful connections to solve problems and advance human wellbeing; the discipline has always explored the beneficial links between form and function technology and meaning beauty and utility people and artefacts and problems and solutions among others. This book focuses on the crucial connection between design research and design education. Contemporary society grows increasingly hyper-complex and globally competitive. This state of affairs raises fundamental questions for both Design Education and Design Research: Should research skills be integrated into undergraduate courses? How can we modify design courses without compromising the positive aspects of the educational studio experience? Can the three cycles of higher education in design be combined into a creative and inquisitive educational continuum? To examine the relationship between research and education in Design we must address the topic of knowledge keeping in mind that the development and dissemination of new and useful knowledge is the core purpose of a University. If we agree that design has its own things to know and ways to find out about them then design knowledge resides in people processes products and philosophy. This book explores the intersection of these four areas with the aim of uncovering insights to advance the current state of the design discipline. | Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E
