The Role of Land Grant Universities: Responsible Innovation

public research universities. Unlike those others, however, the land grant universities also have responsibilities assigned to them by congressional legislation. Beginning with the Morrill Act, signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, federally enacted legislation has specified several roles and responsibilities for land grant universities. When asking what these universities should be doin...

Estimating Exchange Rate Pass-Through on Producer Prices in Main Sectors of Iranian Economy

Exchange rate changes could impact on prices. Whether exchange rate pass through to prices is complete or incomplete is an interesting question in analyzing impacts of exchange rate policy. An important aspect of exchange rate pass through is in producer price index and in its sub-indices. Our aim is to analyze the effects of exchange rate changes on producer sub-indices. To do that we have use...

Heterologous expression of Mus musculus immunoresponsive gene 1 (irg1) in Escherichia coli results in itaconate production

Itaconic acid, a C5-dicarboxylic acid, is a potential biobased building block for the polymer industry. It is obtained from the citric acid cycle by decarboxylation of cis-aconitic acid. This reaction is catalyzed by CadA in the native itaconic acid producer Aspergillus terreus. Recently, another enzyme encoded by the mammalian immunoresponsive gene 1 (irg1), was found to decarboxylate cis-acon...
