This paper discusses the identification of dynamic parameters of an industrial robot KUKA KR5 with all revolute joints and serial architecture. For this, the simplified model of the robot was taken into account by considering only those joints which normally operates orthogonal to the gravity vector. The first approach used for finding the dynamic parameters of this simplified model was by form...

background and objectives: heavy metals are considered as high risk biocides due to their harmful effects on human health, the environment and other living organisms. bacterial strains showing resistance to heavy metals has been used for removing such toxic materials from the environment. in this study we isolated and characterized a heavy metals-resistance halophilic bacterial strains from kal...

BACKGROUND 2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BD), a platform and fuel bio-chemical, can be efficiently produced by Klebsiella pneumonia, K. oxytoca, and Serratia marcescens. However, these strains are opportunistic pathogens and not favorable for industrial application. Although some generally regarded as safe (GRAS) microorganisms have been isolated in recent years, there is still a demand for safe 2,3-BD p...

Pesticides are used in large amounts in agriculture and the evaluation of their toxic effects is of major concern to public and environmental health. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genotoxic potential of a commercial formulation of the fungicide mancozeb by the micronucleus test in bone marrow and the comet assay in total blood of Wistar rats. Adult male Wistar rats were tr...

Inbreeding depression is expected to be more severe in stressful environments. However, the extent to which inbreeding affects the vulnerability of populations to environmental stressors, such as chemical exposure, remains unresolved. Here we report on the combined impacts of inbreeding and exposure to an endocrine disrupting chemical (the fungicide clotrimazole) on zebrafish (Danio rerio). We ...

Heuristic algorithms for mining large databases are being adapted to enable discriminatory analysis to be performed on biological data, accelerating the progress in understanding biological diversity and its industrial implications. A range of knowledge discovery algorithms are being applied to yeast characteristics data, providing new research leads and decision making tools. The research pres...

The Environmental Science and Technology Department engage in research to improve the scientific basis tor new methods in industrial and agricultural production. Through basic and applied research in chemistry, biology and ecology the department aspires to develop methods and technology tor the future industrial and agricultural production exerting less stress and strain on the environment. The...

Microalgae are versatile organisms capable of converting CO2, H2O, and sunlight into fuel and chemicals for domestic and industrial consumption. Thus, genetic modifications of microalgae for enhancing photosynthetic productivity, and biomass and bio-products generation are crucial for both academic and industrial applications. However, targeted mutagenesis in microalgae with CRISPR-Cas9 is limi...
