Overview of green biotechnology
This document provides an overview of green biotechnology, which uses biological techniques to improve plants. It was introduced in 1987 with the Flavr Savr tomato. Methods discussed include tissue culture, genetic engineering, and hybridization. Genetically modified crops mentioned include cotton, soybean, and papaya. Applications include increasing crop yields, enhancing disease and pest resistance, and improving nutritional value. The future of green biotechnology may involve increasing global food production through new traits while enhancing health, safety, and reducing environmental pollution.
Biotechnology
This document discusses the four main types of biotechnology: red, green, blue, and white. Red biotechnology involves using microorganisms to develop medicines and prevent disease. Green biotechnology applies the technology to agricultural processes and transgenic foods. Blue biotechnology is a newer field focused on health, cosmetics, and other products. White biotechnology aims to produce more sustainable industrial materials with less waste and pollution. The document also notes both benefits, such as crops requiring fewer pesticides, and risks, like possible human health impacts from transgenic food consumption.
Biotechnology for Food and Nutritional security
The document discusses biotechnology approaches for improving food and nutritional security. It notes that over 800 million people currently suffer from hunger globally. Key threats to food security are plants' inability to tolerate stressful conditions. The document outlines molecular marker-based systems and genetic engineering as approaches to develop stress-resistant crop varieties by introducing genes for stress tolerance. Molecular marker-based breeding allows introduction of multi-gene traits through linked markers, while genetic engineering can transfer genes across species when natural variation is limited. Recent advances include genome modification and understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression in relation to stress tolerance.
Application of Genetic Engineering in Crop Improvement through Transgenesis
This document discusses genetic engineering and transgenic crops. It defines genetic engineering as using technologies to modify genomes and transfer genes within and between species. Transgenesis is introducing a transgene from one organism into another to produce a transgenic organism with a new trait. Common transgenic crops mentioned include golden rice, Bt brinjal, Bt cotton, GM tomato, Bt corn, GM potato, and omega-3 canola. Methods for creating transgenic crops include Agrobacterium transformation and gene gun delivery. Transgenic crops offer benefits like biotic/abiotic stress resistance and improved nutrition, but also pose challenges like gene flow and potential health effects that require further research.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS
This document discusses genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods are derived from organisms whose DNA has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally, often by transferring genes between unrelated species. Common GM crops include corn, canola, soybeans, and cotton. Potential benefits include improved yields and nutritional content, while risks involve possible health effects and environmental impacts if GM crops spread unchecked. The conclusion acknowledges GM foods could help address hunger but governments must regulate safely to avoid unintended harm.
Biotechnology applications in agriculture
Application of Biotechnology in Agriculture PPT focusses on techniques such as Genetically Modified Organisms, Bt Cotton, Pest Resistant Plants.
Genetically modified foods
Genetically modified foods are crops that have been altered through genetic engineering to enhance desired traits. Scientists can transfer genes from one organism to another, such as adding bacterial or viral genes, to rapidly create plants with exact desired traits like improved nutritional value, disease resistance, or tolerance to weather changes. While genetically modified foods may provide benefits, some argue they can also cause allergies, harm animals, and increase costs. There is debate around whether these foods should require labels to help consumers make informed choices. Supporters of labeling say it is a right for people to know what is in their food, while opponents argue that labeling could unnecessarily alarm people and drive up food costs without clear evidence that genetically modified foods are actually harmful.
Gmo food
This document discusses GMO foods in Bangladesh. It provides background on genetic modification and lists some common GMO foods like soybeans, corn, and cotton. The top GMO crop producing countries are identified as the US, Brazil, Argentina, India, and Canada. The document also outlines both the advantages and disadvantages of GMO foods. The advantages include increased crop yields and reduced use of pesticides, while disadvantages include potential effects on other organisms and insects developing resistance. Overall, the conclusion is that GMO foods are generally considered safe but public understanding needs to be improved.

Bioengineering Fact Sheet
1) Bioengineering, including genetic modification (GMOs) and gene editing, can be used to develop crops with benefits like increased resistance to pests and tolerance to drought while maintaining safety for consumers and the environment.
2) GMOs involve introducing desirable traits from other plants into a crop using genetic modification, while gene editing allows changing existing plant genes without introducing outside DNA.
3) Hundreds of studies over many years have found GMOs and gene edited crops to be as safe as traditionally bred varieties, without new risks to health or the environment. Bioengineering helps provide more sustainable and nutritious food.
Benefits of Plant Biotechnology
Plant biotechnology can help produce more food to feed the growing global population, develop healthier and more nutritious foods, and improve crops to be better for the environment. It allows scientists to precisely add specific genes to plants rather than combining many genes at once. This technology has led to higher-yielding varieties of major crops and enrichment of staple crops. While some have doubts about safety, most scientific organizations agree that biotechnology poses minimal risks to human health and the environment if properly regulated.
Impact of Genetically Modified Food on Human Health
Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or those plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth is called Food. With the huge increasing population of the world, food production from natural resources could not meet their needs. So researchers move to produce more food using molecular-level techniques. This type of food is called genetically modified food (GM food), whose genetic material has been altered which is not present already in nature. GM food is made to increase nutrient content by alternation, has many advantages for humans as it increases the nutritional content and formation of pest, drought, herbicide, and cold resistant plants. But at the same time, it has negative impacts also. It is genetically unsafe, causing organ damage and allergic reactions in the digestive tract. The researchers are trying to do their best to produce crops with their desired characteristics by using molecular-level techniques.

They have also been engineered for scientific research and to create new colors and varieties of plants. While GMOs have potential benefits, there are also concerns about their safety and environmental impacts. Proper testing, regulation, and labeling are important to address these issues surrounding the use of GMO technology.
Geneticengineering slides
Genetic engineering alters the structure and characteristics of genes. It is used by scientists to observe the effects of knocking out certain genes and to produce beneficial products for humans by manipulating other organisms' genes. Genetic engineering can benefit humans by improving crop yields and quality, using microorganisms to clean pollution, and producing disease-resistant, drought-tolerant "super crops." However, there are also risks like introducing allergens or toxins into foods, producing difficult to control "super weeds," and conflicting with some religious values. While more research is still needed, many argue that with proper regulation and testing, the benefits of genetic engineering outweigh the risks.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECT
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
