The establishment of a DNA synthesis and construction foundry at Imperial College in London heralds a new chapter in the development of synthetic biology to meet new global challenges. The Foundry employs the latest technology to make the process of engineering biology easier, faster and scalable. The integration of advanced software, automation and analytics allows the rapid design, build and ...

The mortality experienced by a cohort of 10,491 United Kingdom steel foundry workers during the period 1946-85 has been investigated. These workers were all male operatives first employed in any one of the 10 participating foundries in 1946-65; all had worked in the industry for a minimum period of one year. Compared with the general population of England and Wales, statistically significant ex...

With the growing presence of BPM and SOA in the IT industry, their impact on the IT education will be profound. Many institutions are becoming aware of the acute need of developing learning and teaching resource frameworks for the BPM and SOA. In this paper, we present part of such an effort from a team at the University of New South Wales, currently developing Service Learning and Teaching Fou...

Abstract Low-pressure die cast (LPDC) is widely used in high performance, precision aluminum alloy automobile wheel castings, where defects such as porosity voids are not permitted. The quality of LPDC parts highly influenced by the casting process conditions. A need exists to optimize variables improve part against difficult gas and shrinkage porosity. To do this, variable measurements be stud...

This study is part of an ongoing investigation of biomarkers in iron foundry workers exposed to polycyclic aromatic compounds. Foundry workers with the highest exposures had elevated levels of DNA adducts in their white blood cells in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to characterize the nature of DNA reactive chemicals in foundry air samples through incubating the foundry filter ...

evidence- based medicine (ebm) aims to bring the best available evidence into clinical practice.  different clinical methods of education such as in-patient rounds, follow up rounds, out-patients rounds, group sessions, grand rounds, lectures, and journal clubs could be held by ebm approach. the current text presents two interrelated case reports; a case report of ebm decision making in an emer...

Agile software development processes of various kinds have been proposed and put into practice. Generally they are specific-approach oriented at the operational-characteristic level. Ten underlying principles for agile systems were identified by examining over a hundred various non-software systems that exhibit agility. This paper outlines and discusses the first purposeful employment of these ...
