Bad Engineering Yields Even Worse Lawsuits

Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2001
A civil engineer performed a condition evaluation of an eight-story building of approximately 1,500 m2 (16,000 ft2) per floor constructed in 1909 in downtown Milwaukee. Subsequent to the evaluation, a failed real estate transaction along with poor forensic engineering investigation and incomplete testing led to a lawsuit filed against the civil ...

High‐yield anthocyanin biosynthesis in engineered Escherichia coli

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2007
AbstractAnthocyanins are red, purple, or blue plant water‐soluble pigments. In the past two decades, anthocyanins have received extensive studies for their anti‐oxidative, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐cancer, anti‐obesity, anti‐diabetic, and cardioprotective properties. In the present study, anthocyanin biosynthetic enzymes from different plant species were

Metabolic engineering to increase crop yield: From concept to execution

Plant Science, 2018
Although the return on investment over the last 20 years for mass screening of individual plant genes to improve crop performance has been low, the investment in these activities was essential to establish the infrastructure and tools of modern plant genomics.

Measurement of Radical Yields To Assess Radiation Resistance in Engineering Thermoplastics

1996
Radiation chemical yields for radicals were assessed for a variety of engineering thermoplastics following γ-irradiation under vacuum at 77 K and at a low dose rate. On the basis of these radical yields the radiation resistance of the polymers increased in the following order: poly(phenylene oxide), polyamide, poly(arylene ether sulfone), poly(arylene ...

Metabolic engineering of Gluconobacter oxydans 621H for increased biomass yield

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2017
The obligatory aerobic acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter oxydans incompletely oxidizes carbon sources regio- and stereoselectively in the periplasm and therefore is used industrially for oxidative biotransformations, e. g., in vitamin C production.

Human TRPV4 engineering yields an ultrasound-sensitive actuator for sonogenetics

Abstract Sonogenetics offers non-invasive and cell-type specific modulation of cells genetically engineered to express ultrasound-sensitive actuators. Finding an ion channel to serve as sonogenetic actuator it critical for advancing this promising technique.
