Título : Introduction of Biotechnology in India's Agriculture : Impact, Performance and Economics Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Gandhi, Vasant P ; Jain, Dinesh ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Singapore : Springer Singapore Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XXIX, 272 p. 41 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-981-10-1091-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Management Industrial management Environmental engineering Biotechnology Economic policy Agricultural economics Economics R & D/Technology Policy Engineering/Biotechnology Innovation/Technology Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Biotechnology can bring major breakthroughs in agriculture. The book examines the experience of introduction of biotechnology in Indian agriculture, specifically, examining the performance of Bt cotton versus non-Bt cotton across India's major cotton states, namely Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, which together account for nearly 70 percent of the country's cotton production. Major advances in biotechnology have made it possible to directly identify genes, determine their functions, and transfer them from one organism to another. The advances have spawned many technologies and Bt cotton is one important outcome. Bt cotton has become one of the most widely cultivated transgenic crops and is currently grown in 21 countries - 11 developing and 10 industrialized countries. The Government of India was relatively late in permitting biotechnology, only approving the cultivation of three transgenic Bt cotton hybrids from April 2002. Many concerns were raised about their performance there was strong opposition from some quarters. In India, Gujarat and Maharastra were the first states to adopt them, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh. Based on a sample of 694 farming households, the book examines and analyzes the performance on the yields, pesticide costs, seed costs, overall production costs and profits. It also reports on the environmental impacts, satisfaction with the technology and ways of improving its performance Nota de contenido: 1. Introduction and objectives of the study -- 2.

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book investigates the functioning and ecosystems of biorefineries and assesses the potential of the industrial bioeconomy. The authors present a case study of the biorefinery at Bazancourt Pomacle, near Reims, France, as an outstanding illustration of the creation, work processes, financing, provision of environmental services, competitive benefits and future prospects of a bioeconomy. Analysing the case of Bazancourt Pomacle, the authors show the wide range of products produced by integrated biorefineries such as food, bioenergy, molecules for cosmetics and nutrients for agricultural use. They also analyse Bazancourt Pomacle as an open innovation platform, which encompasses several layers of R&D, including three department chairs from leading engineering and business schools in France. Illustrating a number of global success stories that started in Bazancourt Pomacle, the authors also investigate the provision of pilot- and demonstration plants as inescapable steps in the scaling-up process from the lab to industrial scale. The book provides a systematic overview of the lessons learned, as well as data on an industrial bioeconomy. Investors, decision- makers, public-policy shapers, analysts and scholars will learn about the history, actors, economics, industrial symbiosis, role of cooperatives, R&D and future prospects of a world-class biorefinery and bio-based cluster in Europe Nota de contenido: Preface -- Introduction -- 1 Unique, Multi-Generational Development: A Lesson in Forward Planning -- 2 Changes in the Environment that Made the Bazancourt-Pomacle Biorefinery -- 3 Industrial Symbiosis at the Bazancourt-Pomacle Biorefinery -- 4 Prospects for the Bazancourt-Pomacle Biorefinery Between Now and 2030 -- General Conclusion En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-47374-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35810 Biorefinery 2030 : Future Prospects for the Bioeconomy [documento electrónico] / Schieb, Pierre-Alain ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Lescieux-Katir, Honorine ; Thénot, Maryline ; Clément-Larosière, Barbara . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2015 . - XXXII, 123 p. 44 illus., 25 illus. in color : online resource.

The book consists of two parts. The first part introduces the basic principles of ocean modeling and depicts the long way from the generic principles to the practical modeling of oil spills and of the propagation of other adverse impacts. The second part focuses on the techniques for solving the inverse problem of the quantification of offshore areas with respect to their potential to serve as a source of environmental danger to vulnerable regions (such as spawning, nursing or also tourist areas). The chapters are written in a tutorial style; they are mostly self-contained and understandable for non-specialist researchers and students. They are carefully peer-reviewed by international experts. The goal was to produce a book that highlights all key steps, methods, models and data sets it is necessary to combine in order to produce a practically usable technology and/or decision support system for a particular sea region. Thus the book is useful not only as a description and a manual of this particular technology but also as a roadmap highlighting the complicated technical issues of ocean modeling for practical purposes. It describes the approaches taken by the authors in an understandable way and thus is useful for educational purposes, such as a course in industrially and environmentally relevant applications of ocean modeling Nota de contenido: Foreword -- Preface -- The Baltic Way Project -- 1. Towards Mitigation of Environmental Risks: T.Soomere.- Part I Modelling the Underlying Dynamics: 2. Topography, Hydrography, Circulation and Modelling of the Baltic Sea: K. Myrberg and A.
