Value creation from open data growth faces several challenges, e.g; they risk to be too supply-driven, or that they lack of incentives for the re-use. This paper reports an ongoing research/programme on the stimulation role in an open data ecosystem to mitigate these concerns. First, we present the empirical roots of this role that can be drawn from several initiatives undertaken in different countries and trying to bypass the obstacles faced by potential open data re-users. We discuss the importance of a legal framework inductive to foster innovation and transnationality of the re-use. Then, we introduce the BE-GOOD programme which aims to develop new methods to build an open data ecosystem.

Systems views of innovation are becoming increasingly important to agricultural research. 'New' Agriculture is situated in a global context that is evolving very rapidly with many different players. It requires rapid response and adaptation to this complex and changing context. Innovation Systems is thus critical as it is a means of organising thinking on ways of promoting innovation in complex, continuously changing environments with many actors and where straightforward technology transfer approaches are unlikely to work

[Visit www.innovationstudies.org for more of our work.] Institutional innovation involves enabling new ways of working within an organisation. Two changes have been at centrestage in pressing for institutional innovation in agricultural research and development (ARD): stronger client orientation and greater use of partnerships. Further innovation in ARD Institutions is necessary to reach development goals. It is more sensible to enable institutional change to cope with an evolving situation in a specific context than prescribe changes. Therefore, there is a need to focus on transition rather than on destination in institutional arrangements.

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

1. Innovation systems: Implications for research and
policy
I3L Powertalk
AGRICULTURE
Dr Andy Hall • CSIRO Research Group Leader – Innovation Dynamics for effective agriculture systems (IDEAS)
5 February 2016
2. Outline
• The challenge of moblising science for innovation.
• Defining innovation.
• Technology in a system of use.
• Systems of continuous innovation.
• Role of public research and the private sector
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall2 |
3. The challenge and the paradox
• Science is the most powerful tool for discover and knowledge creation know to
human kind. Ever. And we are getting better at it all the time.
• Business and entrepreneurship is the most powerful tool for driving innovation that
delivery products and services we need and for making money. Ever. And we are
getting better at it all the time.
• Yet scientific research organisations are under intense pressure not just to
demonstrate scientific excellence.
• To be an agent of innovation, an innovation catalyst, an innovation hub, to be client
focused and to demonstrate contributions to social and economic impacts.
• What does that mean and what is this innovation thing that we are been asked to
do?
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall3 |
4. Innovation: the simple meaning
• Research turns money into ideas. Innovation turns ideas into
money.
• A process that combines:
– Technological break - throughs or inventions: The creation of ideas from
research, but also from other sources.
– Technological artifacts: The embodiment of technology and ideas in new
products and services
– Using ideas for gain: The actions, practices and conditions that allow ideas
to be put into productive use.
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall4 |
5. Innovation: more meaning
• The process of creating and putting into use combinations of knowledge from many
different sources
• This knowledge may be brand-new, but usually it is new combinations of existing
knowledge
• Not research or technology, but might involve both.
• To be termed innovation, the use of this knowledge has to be novel to the farmer or
the firm, neighbours and competitors, but not necessarily new globally
• Invention, on the other hand, is the creation of new knowledge new to the world,
usually by research organisations, but also by artisans and others

6. Technology in a system of use
Technology is an important component of innovation but for it to
have social and economic value it needs to be part of a system to
enable its use.
• New crop varieties
• Aeronautical engineering
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall6 |
7. New crop varieties in a system of use
• Crop variety with higher performing characteristics
• Mechanisms for articulating farmer and consumer demand for new
characteristics
• Accompanying technical changes: water management, agronomy, pest
control.
• Changes in input and output markets (seed supply, procurement)
• Farmer organizations to negotiate prices and create markets for new
crop.
• Policy changes: price policy for inputs and outputs, regulation of credit,
seed certifications
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall7 |
8. Aeronautical engineering for passenger line travel
• Technological push from jet engine technology, aircraft design and
navigation systems.
• Accompanying technologies and systems: air traffic control systems, flight
scheduling, travel agents, policy, regulation and safety standards, catering
services (disgusting though their food maybe), airport infrastructure etc.
• continuous process of upgrading and innovation. The low cost airlines
revolution; on-line booking and e-ticketing.
• Not only technology driven innovation, but consumer driven innovation
enabled by technology
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall8 |
9. Different types of innovation?
• Technological innovation: Farmers adopting a new crop variety, a
new agronomic practice, or animal feeding regime.
• Organizational innovation: farmers work collectively to market
produce.
• Institutional innovation. Researchers form new partnerships with
farmers and companies to deliver solutions that give income and
profits
9 | Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall
10. What does innovation look like?
• Business innovation: companies develop new products
and service or new ways of delivering these that create
profit and other value.
• Value chain innovation: Value chain actors use new
ways to procure, add value or market products.
• Policy innovation: regulations, rules and incentives
that add value to social and economic activity. Food
standards, pesticide approvals, new ways of financing
farming and business investment.

Different ways of organising agriculture innovation• Dr Andy Hall
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall
11. How does innovation happen?
• There are broadly 2 views.
• A technology transfer pipeline view
• A “systems” views that suggests different
types of innovation need to be coupled
together.
• Neither can be universally correct.

Different ways of organising agriculture innovation• Dr Andy Hall
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall
12. What do we know about how innovation happens?
• Entrepreneurs are the driving force with motivation to search out
opportunities to extract value from ideas.
• Innovation emerges from a dense network of interaction which allows ideas to
flow and be shared and which allows different ideas to be combined in new
ways.
• Partnerships and other business and social relations help this.
• Routines and other learnt behaviors that make interaction standard practice in
organization are a key element of innovation capability in both the public and
private sectors.
• Innovation is not just risky but is highly uncertain and unpredictable as it
emerges from a complex system of interaction
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall12 |
13. What is an innovation system?
Networks of organizations or actors, together with the
institutions and policies that affect their innovative
behaviour and performance, continuously bring new
products, new processes and new forms of organization
into economic and social use.

15. Some implications and missunderstandings
• Research needs to become a more responsive element of the innovation
system (consumer clients, business clients, policy clients).
• Investments by organisations needed in building partnerships and links.
• Investments by organisations in learning routines that strengthen
interaction, knowledge sharing and access.
• X The market will invest in innovation brokering and intermediation to
build dense networks of interaction.
• X All research must respond to the needs of the market
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall15 |
16. Role of the public sector in enabling innovation.
• Setting framework conditions, policy, regulation, infrastructure, law and order.
• Addressing market systems failures: tax credits for R&D in the private sector,
public good applied research.
• Addressing innovation systems failures?
• Creating mechanisms to promote non-market interactions that underpin
innovation (long term public private sector interface)
• Investing in research and market development in uncertain innovation
trajectories that can create new economic sectors (biotech, ICT, nano-tech etc)
• Investing in innovation trajectories with high social value: renewable energy
and green technology generally, food waste and nutrition, inclusive innovation.
Innovation systems: implications for research and policy • Dr Andy Hall16 |
17. Innovation systems demands more and different
public investment not less
• Mazzucato (2013) argues for an urgent need for “Mission-mode public
investment” in opening up new innovation trajectories and associated markets.
• Investment in research, business capacity development and associated
innovation support services and financing and investment.
• Priorities are likely to involve technological innovation opportunities that sit
across existing areas of research, to uncertain to rely on the private sector alone
in its formative stages
• Efforts to develop business opportunities and markets around these, with close
public private sector partnership.
Presentation title • Presenter name17 |
18. Paradox of the smart phone
• Icon of private entrepreneurial led hi-tech innovation … Or is it?
• Did consumers articulate a demand for smart phones? Or did
technology create that demand?
• Never the less a plethora of transformational impacts on every
sector of the economy and in fact society as a whole
• The key technical innovations came from private investment in
R&D. Right? Wrong!

Public investments that make the iPhone ‘smart’
(source Mazzucato, 2013a, p. 109)
20. Some concluding conundrums
• Innovation is not research or technology, but may involve both.
• Innovation is not supply led or demand led, but involves the iteration between
opportunities and needs.
• Market failures create risks that prevent private investment, innovation is
uncertain and requires public investments.
• Innovation performance has a rate, but also a direction that can not be left to
the market alone.
• Business innovation is a critical driver of economic growth, but this requires a
more entrepreneurial, proactive role for the public sector not a smaller hands
off approach.
