The desire to industrialise biotechnology is an important driver in the epistemological work of SB (see, for example, Calvert, 2012; Campos, 2012; Hilgartner, 2012) and forms a major element of its promissory capacity of bringing engineering into biotechnology.
This fundamental engineering constraint is an obstacle to synthetic biologists because it limits the computational capacity of engineered gene circuits.
The reinforcement measures, such as pre-stressed anchor cable and concrete anti-seepage layer covering original dam body, are often used to improve the structural stability, control the crack development and advance the carrying capacity of concrete dam engineering.
However, the secretory capacity of wild type S. cerevisiae is limited (Idiris et al. 2010), and improving the secretory capacity through engineering of this pathway would reduce the cost of downstream processes (Nielsen 2013).
Thus, in this paper we explore the origins of the intrapreneurship capacity in engineering settings of hightech firms, thereby concentrating on three issues: Who is the intrapreneur and the engineer-intrapreneur in particular?
Whilst most of these concerns are related to other fields of engineering, the capacity of robots to turn into ethical agents puts forth another set of moral questions, such as those related to the rights and responsibilities of robots [86].
Siemens signed an agreement with DONG Energy on Thursday to design and manufacture the 300 turbines, which would have a total capacity of 1,800 megawatts, the engineering company said.
Varying the relative strength of the two feedbacks we find a trade-off between the engineering capacity of a plant species and its resilience to disturbances.
This paper presents the first measurements of the engineering capacity of natural stromatolite-forming assemblages under ambient conditions.
