Previous studies discuss how regulatory, technological and market drivers increasingly challenge manufacturing industries to adopt eco-innovations. However, the understanding of the process by which eco-innovations are developed and commercialized as a result of these drivers is not yet well established, in particular because these drivers are perceived differently by the end-users and their su...

The article aims to investigate the presence of a correlation between eco-innovation and economic performance within industrial districts. The case analyzed in this article is based on a study concerning a sample of 54 Italian industrial clusters entitled "Eco-Districts" that has compiled a list of the most eco-efficient districts at the national level. After selecting two districts, this study...

The Eco Real-Time PCR system puts powerful qPCR applications within reach of individual researchers. Large, expensive thermal cyclers that take up an entire workspace are replaced with an affordable, compact system that fits easily on any lab bench (Figure 1). Delivering unsurpassed data quality in less than 40 minutes for 40-cycle runs, the Eco system revolutionizes qPCR accessibility for both...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION : A 1.7 kb Eco RI-Taq I fragment was used as a probe. This fraciment was isolated from pUSE 109 containing a 7 kb Eco RI genomic fragment from the human porphobilinogen(PBG) deaminase(EC 4.1.3.8.) gene. (1) POLYMORPHISM : Pst I digests of human genomic DNA were hybridized to the probe. This presented a two ailele polymorphism with bands of 2.2 kb(A1), 1.4 kb(A2) and constant ...

To create new, effective reagents for affinity modification of restriction-modification (R-M) enzymes, a regioselective method for reactive dialdehyde group incorporation into oligonucleotides, based on insertion of a 1-beta-D-galactopyranosylthymine residue, has been developed. We synthesized DNA duplex analogs of the substrates of the Eco RII and Mva I R-M enzymes that contained a galactose o...

Despite years of research and other activities in society the anthropogenic impact on nature still increase. Eco-design has a potential to reduce this impact, but yet a minority of companies practice it. The aim of this paper is to identify current challenges and trends within eco-design. In addition, the paper further aims to disclose important eco-design related research gaps. Eco-design chal...

PVM and other distributed computing systems have enabled the use of networks of workstations for parallel computation, but their approach of treating all networks as collections of point-to-point connections does not promote e cient communication|particularly collective communication. The E cient Collective Operations package (ECO) contains programs which solve this problem by analyzing the net...
