Not content with adopting the forms of nature, engineers are looking to adapt the processes of nature to design.
Based on evolutionary engineering, a regimen of step transfer cultivation was designed to breed a yeast strain that adapted the process of closed-circulating ethanol fermentation in PDMS membrane bioreactor.
Previous studies show the importance of adapting the process to the work practices of the participants involved [ 25, 26].
Today, GMAW is the most common industrial welding process, preferred for its versatility, speed and the relative ease of adapting the process to robotic automation.
Our brains adapt, but the process of adaptation is value-neutral -- we might get smarter or we might get dumber, we're just adapting to the environment. .
These results however suggest that people may adapt, although the process of adaptation may require a long period of time.
Two new designs of electrodialysers were developed for adapting the process at the scale of a little village.
Proteins such as CUTI-1 and its orthologues may have evolved to adapt the complex process of cuticle formation to the specialized requirements of the nematode cuticle, which is structurally and compositionally unique from other organisms [3].
More recently, the storyboard concept has been adapted to the process of creating software.
