The BSA is most commonly used in radar, specifically when working with a Sinclair Matrix ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2529967 |
Biologist A biologist is a professional who has specialized knowledge in the field of biology, understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern the functioning of biological systems within fields such as health, technology and the environment. Biologists involved in fundamental research attempt to explore and furthe... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2537522 |
Biologist Some investigate the nano or micro-scale, others emergent properties such as ecological interactions or cognition. There is much overlap between different fields of biology (e.g. zoology, microbiology, genetics and evolutionary biology) and due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field it is often difficul... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2537522 |
Biologist These scientists must consider the business effects of their work. While theoretical biologists usually work in "dry" labs, formulating mathematical models and running computer simulations, some experimental biologists conduct laboratory experiments involving animals, plants, microorganisms or biomolecules. H... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2537522 |
Biologist This work continues to lead to the discovery of genes associated with specific diseases and inherited health risks, such as sickle cell anemia. Advances in biotechnology have created research opportunities in almost all areas of biology, with commercial applications in areas such as medicine, agriculture, and... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2537522 |
Biologist They may be under pressure to meet deadlines and to conform to rigid grant-writing specifications when preparing proposals to seek new or extended funding. Biological scientists typically work regular hours. While the 40-hour workweek is common, longer hours are not uncommon. Researchers may be required to wo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2537522 |
Enstrophy In fluid dynamics, the enstrophy can be interpreted as another type of potential density; or, more concretely, the quantity directly related to the kinetic energy in the flow model that corresponds to dissipation effects in the fluid. It is particularly useful in the study of turbulent flows, and is often ide... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2545846 |

Adolf Overweg (July 24, 1822 – September 27, 1852) was a German geologist, astronomer, and traveler from Hamburg. As a member of a mission to fix trade routes in Central Africa he became the first person of European origin to circumnavigate Lake Chad by boat. In 1849, he joined a 3-man expedition under the command of J... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2559408 |
Metagenics The word metagenics uses the prefix meta and the suffix gen. Literally, it means "the creation of something which creates". In the context of biotechnology, metagenics is the practice of engineering organisms to create a specific enzyme, protein, or other biochemicals from simpler starting materials. The gen... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2564540 |
Metagenics coli" is capable of producing ethanol under anaerobic conditions through metabolizing glucose into two moles of formate, two moles of acetate, and one mole of ethanol. While bioethanol has proved to be a successful alternative fuel source on an industrial scale, it also has its shortcomings, namely, its low ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2564540 |
Metagenics The study found suitable substrates for production of the aforementioned hydrocarbons by means of the "P. luminescens" fatty acid reductase (FAR) complex. A study published in Biotechnology for Biofuels used "S. cerevisiae" to produce short- and branched-chain alkyl esters biodiesel through metabolic enginee... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2564540 |
Metagenics Recombinant human insulin was first approved for clinical trials in 1980. At this time the A and B chains of insulin were produced separately and then chemically joined. Joining of the two chains was often carried out through air oxidation with low efficiency. A 1978 study by Goedell et al. successfully acco... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2564540 |
