Engineering education is under the sway of wide-ranging dynamics and drifts that have bearing on how enacted in relation to research innovation obligations universities. Academic, applied, third mission seem configure higher new ways. The article sets out critically explore knowledge production discursively teaching-research-practice-nexus engineering universities applied science (UAS) Denmark....

In biotechnology has been concentrated to review alternative routes for the production of natural compounds. Plant cell culture systems are viable alternatives for the production of secondary metabolites that are of commercial importance in food and pharmaceutical industries. However, relatively very few cultures synthesize these compounds over extended periods in amounts comparable to those fo...

Covering: 2012 to 2016Metabolic engineering using systems biology tools is increasingly applied to overproduce secondary metabolites for their potential industrial production. In this Highlight, recent relevant metabolic engineering studies are analyzed with emphasis on host selection and engineering approaches for the optimal production of various prokaryotic secondary metabolites: native vers...

Background Flusser (2007) argues that by studying the history of factories one can understand the history of humanity, involving the lives, thoughts, actions and sufferings of the people. His work divides history into four manufacturing periods: in the first period—Hand— man uses his own hands to act in the world, being in direct contact with nature but being defenseless. In the second period—T...

Astaxanthin responsible for the red color of red fish and crustacean has beneficial effects on human health as well as its utility as a pigmentation source in aquaculture. Astaxanthin biosynthetic pathway from b-carotene needs two enzymes, a carotenoid 4,4 -ketolase (oxygenase) and a carotenoid 3,3 -hydroxylase. b-Carotene is usually one of dominant carotenoids in higher plants, which lack the ...

The didactic quality of learning materials can be improved by enriching learning material with didactic information. Such content elements assist self-directed learning processes in virtual learning environments effectively. In order to develop didactically motivated for flexible use, e.g., at different terminal devices such as PC or PDA, a structured procedure is required. We propose the selec...
