Session 6: Advances in Enzyme Science and Technology

Session 4 : Advances in technology

Proteolytic and engineered Fab’ fragments have been found to be invaluable as research tools in the laboratory and clinic for decades. This potential has now been extended to their successful therapeutic use, with ReoPro (Eli Lilly), Lucentis (Genentech) and Cimzia (UCB) approved for sale and Mycograb (Novartis) successfully completing phase III clinical trials. In addition to Fab’, a whole spe...

Advances in the Science and Technology of Carbon Nanotube Composites

In recent years there has been tremendous research advances made in the scientific base for carbon nanotubes, and this has enabled significant improvements in the technology of carbon nanotube-based composites. The interplay between basic science and engineering has resulted in some of the most exciting accomplishments in the development of multifunctional materials. This paper highlights these...

Recent advances in high-pressure science and technology

Recently we are witnessing the boom of high-pressure science and technology from a small niche field to becoming a major dimension in physical sciences. One of the most important technological advances is the integration of synchrotron nanotechnology with the minute samples at ultrahigh pressures. Applications of high pressure have greatly enhanced our understanding of the electronic, phonon, a...

Integration of Science and Technology in Primary Curriculum

One of the main issues to be considered in the educational system is education. Education is the result of four elements which are interacting with each other. These four elements are: teaching, learning, structure and curriculum. Curriculum is a plan for action which forms the structure. Another issue is the status of knowledge and the way we can transform it into educational materials. In pos...
