Sleeping Beauty Transposon: Awakening a new approach to cancer treatmentJulie Kendrick
13 million years in the making, Perry Hackett’s Sleeping Beauty transposon has far-reaching implications for identifying causes of disease, use in gene therapy and more. His Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon, reconstructed from a fish DNA sequence that went extinct 13 million years ago, proved to be a gamechanger in non-viral cancer gene therapy.

This is a short power point presentation for all environment lovers. this is basically all about food chains and food webs. it is part 2 because it is from the other half of part one. I have not yet uploaded part one as there are some problems im facing.......so ill try to get them out at the earliest
Ecological succession is a term developed by Botanists
to describe the change in structure of a community of
different species, or ecosystem.Here we also discuss Energy flow/the transfer of energy from one organism to another in an
ecosystem.

In nature, wild animals live on large area and have consequently, a low genetic resistance against parasitic infections because of hoe exposure. When herds of these wild animals are kept in captivity in Zoological Gardens, the problem of parasite infection can aggravate and pose a serious threat to endangered species, occasionally causing sudden and unexpected local declines in abundance; unfortunately, there have been few detailed and comprehensive studies on the common parasitic infections, prevalence of the parasitic infections in the primates and the Health care management of the captive primates. The focus of the research work is on investigation of parasitic infection among primates in selected Zoological Gardens in Nigeria the researcher has the following objectives, The researcher adopted experimental method sample of fresh feaces were collected differently for 5 days and was examined at two different laboratory, that Ibadan and Jos. The Ibadan Zoological Garden twenty seven species of primates were examined, with only six infested with Trichuris Trichuria parasite; common in chimpanzee, mona monkey, Tantalus and white throated. In Jos Plateau Zoological Garden, twenty-four species of primates were examined only thirteen primates were infested with Trichuris Trichuria, F buskii, Eimeria, Ascaris Lumbricoides, ¬S. mansoni, Hetrophyes, Those infested, are Red patas, softy mongabey, Baboon, Mona Monkey, Tantalus, and Chimpanzee. Kano Zoological Garden, thirty species of primates were examined, only eleven were infested with Ascaris Lumbricoides, Eimeria, Trichuris Trichuria, Fasciola those infested are Baboon, Chimpanzee, Mona Monkey, Patas, Tantalus Monkeys. All the above examination of the faecal sample material, a direct wet smear was used to reveal the parasites; examined with a how power objective (10x).

We analyzed the abundance and diversity of soil macrofauna and measured the physical properties of soil in order to study the influence of the inclusion of legumes in Silvopastoral systems. In addition, the soil sampling was performed aiming to evaluate the soil heterogeneity caused by the grazing preference when legume-tree are included.
La Acción de Mitigación Nacionalmente Apropiada (NAMA) de la Ganadería Bovina –la “NAMA bovina”– es una política pública cuyo propósito es orientar la transformación del sector hacia prácticas bajas en carbono, dentro de un contexto integrado de sostenibilidad ambiental, social y económica. La NAMA bovina propone un conjunto de acciones voluntarias, denominadas medidas de mitigación del cambio climático, orientadas a reducir las emisiones
de gases efecto invernadero (GEI), provenientes de la producción ganadera en los predios, a niveles inferiores a los que se tendrían bajo un desarrollo sectorial, sin la introducción de estas medidas. Entre estas acciones, está configurar sistemas productivos ganaderos ricos en vegetación, con la capacidad de absorber y retener carbono y de proveer alimento con un alto contenido de nutrientes.
Con respecto a la financiación e implementación de las medidas de mitigación propuestas, estas se materializarán con la estrecha coordinación de esfuerzos públicos y privados a través de proyectos, políticas y programas del sector bovino que incorporen, en sus objetivos, la mitigación del cambio climático.

Un estudio realizado por expertos de la Alianza Bioversity International y el CIAT aborda esta problemática de una manera integral, estimando los actuales y potenciales impactos de la crisis sanitaria ocasionada por el COVID- 19 en las cadenas de valor de carne y leche.
Como parte fundamental de la transformación de la ganadería bovina en Colombia, la Mesa de Ganadería Sostenible (MGS – Col) presenta una serie de conversatorios que reúnen elementos esenciales para propiciar su sostenibilidad y por ende el mejoramiento de la productividad y logro de la competitividad de la cadena de valor de la carne, la leche y sus derivados, acorde con las expectativas de los mercados y del consumidor final. En ésta oportunidad, de la mano de expertos profesionales reconocidos ampliamente en sus distintas áreas de trabajo, adscritos en su gran mayoría a organizaciones que conforman la MGS – Col, tanto del sector público como privado, nos proponemos llevar a cabo este reto virtual durante las próximas 16 semanas.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Although introduced into Paraguay long ago, Leucaena leucocephala had been considered
a weed up to the turn of the millennium due of mimosine toxicity causing loss of hair,
reduced herbage intake, inflated thyroids and body weight loss.
The introduction of the mimosine degrading bacteria Synergistes jonesii by its Australian
discoverer Dr. Raymond Jones represented the turnaround point for acceptance of leucaena.

Meanwhile, an

Leucaena is excellent
forage, even in winter
when grass is dry. It
is usually being sown
in double rows into
Gatton Panic
pasture.
Problems with
rodents, leaf cutting
ants and termites are
the main reason why
the total leucaena
area remained only
at about 10.000 ha.
