Biotechnology in Leather Industries

-
Picture5

Leather-making is a comparatively complex and labor-intensive process, based on high priced raw materials and chemicals.

The use of biotechnological processes in leather industries reduces the adverse effect of chemicals in the environment. Enzymes can use in many steps of leather making like in soaking, dehairing , dyeing, decreasing or in sewage and solid waste treatment.

The enzymes cut use of a toxic chemical used to ‘burn’ hair from the hides:  sodium sulfide, by 60 percent.

They reduce water use in soaking and dehairing by one-quarter, and the toxicity of the effluent is greatly reduced. The process reduces energy use and emissions of greenhouse gas by almost 30 percent.

Most of these industrial enzymes are produced or extracted from microorganisms but they can be obtained from animals and plants as well.

The production of most of the enzymes is done in deeply submerged fermentation and a few are best produced in semi-solid media. Most fermenters used are of the submerged type because the submerged fermenter saves space and is less complicated to engineering control and design.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a critical component of the effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancer  and other diseases. "Some people think that clinical trials are the last resort," says Jack Whelan of Andover, Mass., who was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007. "I am a survivor of a rare not-yet-curable cancer. Forward-looking science, what is available in clinical trials, was the best choice for me." For researchers and clinicians, trials are critical to determining the potential benefits and safety of investigational cancer therapies  or for understanding if an existing medication could be useful for other types of cancer . Clinical trials are the last step before treatments are made widely available. They come after the completion of basic lab research and testing. Clinical testing in patients is key to understanding how a particular therapy will perform and what kinds of side effects may occur. Clinical tr

Solar Greenhouse

A greenhouse  is a structure secured with a transparent material (glass or plastic) that goes about as a solar gatherer and uses solar brilliant energy to develop plants. It has heating, cooling and ventilating gadgets  for controlling the temperature inside the greenhouse. Solar radiations can go through the greenhouse coating, yet the warm radiations produced by the items inside the greenhouse can't escape through the coated surface. Subsequently, the radiations  get caught inside the greenhouse and result in an expansion in temperature. As the greenhouse structure has a shut limit, the air inside the green­house gets advanced with CO2 as there is no blending of the greenhouse air  with the encompassing air. Further, there is diminished dampness misfortune because of limited tran­spiration. Every one of these highlights helps to maintain plant development for the duration of the day and additionally amid the night and throughout the entire year. To know more: ht

What Is Cancer Research?

-

Cancer research  transforms and saves lives. The goal of studying cancer is to develop safe and effective methods to prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, and, ultimately, cure the many diseases we call  cancer . The better we understand these diseases, the more progress we will make toward diminishing the tremendous human and economic tolls of  cancer .  Research has helped us accumulate extensive knowledge about the biological processes involved in  cancer  onset, growth, and spread in the body. Those discoveries have led to more effective and targeted treatments and prevention strategies. Breakthroughs in prevention, early detection, screening, diagnosis, and treatment are often the result of research and discoveries made by scientists in a wide array of disciplines over decades and even generations. Ultimately , cancer research  requires partnerships and collaborations involving researchers, clinicians, patients, and others to translate yesterday's discoveries into today&#
