Innovative technological paradigm-based approach towards biofuel feedstock

An Innovative Approach towards Arithmetic & Control in DNA Paradigm

This paper aims to conceptually evolve a DNA processor modeling its computational ability and control aspects. DNA Encoding transforms the Radix 2 numbers to strings defined over the language set S {A,T,C,G}. A-Adenine, T-Thymine, C-Cytosine, GGuanine are the nucleotides forming the DNA language set. Arithmetic and logical operations are the basis for any implementation of a computing machine. ...

The Biofuel Feedstock Genomics Resource: a web-based portal and database to enable functional genomics of plant biofuel feedstock species

Major feedstock sources for future biofuel production are likely to be high biomass producing plant species such as poplar, pine, switchgrass, sorghum and maize. One active area of research in these species is genome-enabled improvement of lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock quality and yield. To facilitate genomic-based investigations in these species, we developed the Biofuel Feedstock Genomic ...

Soil Management Implications of Producing Biofuel Feedstock

Utilization of Switchgrass As A Biofuel Feedstock

In the first part of the thesis, chemical analyses were conducted for four populations of switchgrass, SW1-SW8. Each population consisted of 69% leaves, 27% internodes, and 4% nodes. The variations in carbohydrates, lignin, extractives content, Higher Heating Value (HHV), and syringyl:guaiacyl (S:G) ratio were determined among the populations and the morphological portions. The experimental res...

THE COEVOLUTION OF INNOVATIVE TIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROXIMITY Towards a Dynamic Approach of Innovation Networks

In innovation research it is widely acknowledged that different dimensions of proximity influence the success of research collaborations and consequently the choice of cooperation partners (Boschma, 2005). Mainly, the relevance of geographical, social and cognitive proximity between partners in term of innovation has been a crucial pillar to several concepts explaining the disparity in economic...
