Biomass Based Products (Biochemicals, Biofuels, Activated Carbon)Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Biomass use is growing globally. Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-based materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. Biomass (organic matter that can be converted into energy) may include food crops, crops for energy, crop residues, wood waste and byproducts, and animal manure. It is one of the most plentiful and well-utilized sources of renewable energy in the world. Broadly speaking, it is organic material produced by the photosynthesis of light. The chemical materials (organic compounds of carbons) are stored and can then be used to generate energy. The most common biomass used for energy is wood from trees. Wood has been used by humans for producing energy for heating and cooking for a very long time.

They have a variety of applications in the industrial and medical fields .
Biopolymers are polymers produced from natural sources and include polysaccharides like cellulose, starch, and carbohydrate polymers produced by bacteria and fungi, as well as animal protein polymers like wool, silk, gelatin and collagen. There are four main types of biopolymers based on starch, sugar, cellulose, and synthetic materials. Commercially available biopolymers include polylactic acid, which is an aliphatic polyester made from lactic acid obtained via bacterial fermentation of corn or sugars. While polylactic acid has mechanical properties similar to traditional polymers, its thermal properties are less attractive.
This document discusses biodegradation, which is the phenomenon of biological transformation of organic compounds by microorganisms. It involves converting complex organic molecules into simpler ones. Biodegradation is an important property for toxic chemicals as it reduces their concentration and toxicity over time. There are two main types - biomineralization where microbes convert waste into inorganic matter like water and carbon dioxide, and biotransformation where part of the organic matter degrades into smaller organic compounds. The mechanisms involve three stages - biodeterioration, biofragmentation where bonds are cleaved forming oligomers and monomers, and assimilation where the resulting products enter microbial cells. Factors like the chemical nature of the compound, nutrients, oxygen, temperature and pH affect
Biosensors show the potential to complement laboratory-based analytical methods for
environmental applications. Although biosensors for potential environmental-monitoring
applications have been reported for a wide range of environmental pollutants, from a regulatory

consider several interrelated issues. These issues are discussed in terms of the needs, policies,
and mechanisms associated with the identification and selection of appropriate monitoring
methods.

Bioethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugars from various agricultural sources like corn, sugarcane, and cellulosic materials. It has benefits as a renewable fuel that can reduce dependence on crude oil and emissions. There are three main steps in production: fermentation of sugars into ethanol, distillation to separate ethanol from water, and dehydration to purify the ethanol. Lignocellulosic materials like wood and crop residues can also be broken down enzymatically to produce fermentable sugars for ethanol production, but this process is more complex than using easily accessible starch sources. Bioethanol shows potential as a cleaner burning alternative fuel but still faces challenges in efficiency and infrastructure compatibility compared to gasoline.
PHB production by bacteria and its applicationsಶಂತನು ಕೆ. ಗೌಡ
Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are biodegradable polymers produced by some bacteria when excess carbon is available. Bacteria accumulate PHBs intracellularly as carbon and energy reserves. PHB is the most common type and was first discovered in 1925. It has properties suitable for applications like bioplastics, medical implants, and packaging. Research is optimizing production methods like varying carbon sources, nutrients, and growing conditions to improve PHB yields from bacteria. Genetic engineering and mutation studies also aim to develop higher yielding bacterial strains for more economical commercial production of PHB bioplastics.
Biomaterials can be used for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. For tissue engineering, cells are seeded onto a scaffold material and allowed to grow to replace damaged tissue. Common scaffold materials include collagen, gelatin and polymers. Hydrogels are a type of smart biomaterial that can be used as a scaffold. They are cross-linked polymeric networks that swell in water. For drug delivery, biomaterials can be engineered to release drugs at controlled rates or in pulses based on environmental stimuli to maximize the therapeutic effect. Examples include hydrogels that release encapsulated drugs as the gel swells. Biomaterials show promise for regenerative medicine and targeted cancer therapies.

The document discusses the evolution of biomaterials from ancient times to the present. It begins by describing some early uses of biomaterials like prosthetics in ancient Rome. It then covers the major developments in biomaterials in the 20th century, including the introduction and refinement of metals, ceramics, polymers and composites for medical applications. The document also discusses the emergence of biomaterials science and the focus on biocompatibility. Finally, it explores new directions in biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including designing materials that can stimulate specific cellular responses.
Tissue engineering involves generating tissues and organs by seeding cells onto biodegradable scaffolds and stimulating them to proliferate and generate extracellular matrix in vitro. Some key events include Harrison demonstrating active cell growth in culture in 1910, which enabled tissue engineering. Dolly the sheep was the first mammal cloned in 1996 using somatic cell nuclear transfer. Tissue engineering uses cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules to regenerate tissues and has applications like artificial skin and organs. It offers benefits like curing diseases but also faces challenges like ensuring sterility and preventing toxicity.

The document discusses how industrial systems can mimic ecological systems by reducing waste, recycling materials, and using one system's waste as input for another.
Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological functions.
The term has also been applied to efforts to perform specific biochemical functions using cells within an artificially-created support system (e.g. an artificial pancreas, or a bio artificial liver).
A commonly applied definition of tissue engineering, as stated by Langer and Vacanti is “An interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve [Biological tissue] function or a whole organ”
Biomaterials were defined as “any substance, other than a drug, or a combination of substances, synthetic or natural in origin, which can be used for any period of time, as a whole or as a part of a system, which treats, augments or replaces any tissue, organ or function of the body”
The endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotic cells originated from prokaryotic cells engulfing other prokaryotic cells via endocytosis. Over time, the engulfed cells evolved into membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Evidence for this includes similarities between these organelles and prokaryotes like circular DNA, ribosomes, and binary fission. The theory was first proposed by Lynn Margulis and explains the origin of eukaryotic cells and certain organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts.
This document provides information about animal cloning, including its history, processes, examples of cloned animals, and ethical issues. It discusses the three main types of cloning - reproductive cloning, gene cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning aims to produce genetically identical copies of animals and was used to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. While cloning may help protect endangered species and improve livestock, it also raises ethical concerns about technical safety, personal identity, and the commercialization of life.
Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are considered the powerhouses of the cell. They contain their own DNA and machinery for transcription and translation. Evidence suggests that mitochondria originated from bacteria that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells in an endosymbiotic event. Mitochondria have similarities to bacteria in terms of size, membrane structure, ribosomes, and DNA shape. They produce energy for the cell through oxidative phosphorylation and are involved in processes like apoptosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to disease by failing to produce sufficient energy for cellular functions.
This document provides a timeline of key developments in biotechnology from 8000 BCE to 2012 CE.

Biology is the scientific study of living things. Key characteristics of living things include cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. There are many branches of biology that study different aspects of life, including anatomy, physiology, botany, zoology, ecology, genetics, and molecular biology. The scientific method is used to systematically study and understand living organisms.
Bionics is an interdisciplinary science that studies biological structures to develop technological solutions and artificial organs. It involves imitating nature's designs in engineering, such as boats imitating dolphin skin for hulls or sonar technology imitating bats. Bionics has also been applied to artificial neurons, networks, and silicon miniaturization. While only 10% of nature's solutions may currently be imitated, bionics in medicine aims to restore functions through implants like cochlear implants that replace organs and body parts.
The Gut-Brain Connection: An Inside Look at DepressionAugustin Bralley
The document discusses the gut microbiome and its importance in human health and disease. It notes that the gut contains trillions of bacteria that play a key role in nutrient absorption, immune function, and metabolism. Specific tests are mentioned that can provide insight into the gut microbiome, such as stool analysis, intestinal permeability testing, and organic acid testing in urine. The gut microbiome is suggested to influence conditions like obesity, inflammation, and mental health issues like depression. Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is presented as important for overall wellness.
This document summarizes a seminar on biomimetic robots. It begins by defining biomimetic, bio-inspired, and bionic robots. Biomimetic robots fully replicate aspects of biology, while bio-inspired robots take ideas from nature without full replication. Bionic robots integrate electronics into living organisms. The document then discusses examples throughout history of biomimicry in technology. A robotic lobster from the 1970s is presented as one of the earliest true biomimetic robots. The document concludes by outlining current and potential applications of biomimetic robots in areas like defense, entertainment, rescue operations, and industry.
Of all the living things, the human body in particular has been a source of curiosity by most of us. No doubt, the field of biology, anatomy and physiology provide us a clear venue to explore and understand it.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
