In the future, engineering a yeast population to produce large quantities of the natural sunscreen could lead to large-scale production of the UV-protective compound so it can be used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
As the term is paradigmatically used, eugenics involves an intentional, top-down planned social program for engineering an entire population so as to eliminate or universalize particular traits.
Many chemical engineering processes involve a population of particles with a distribution of sizes that changes over time.
In general, we propose that aerobic glycolysis represents an evolutionary strategy described as "niche engineering" in which a population generates environmental properties that decrease the fitness of its competitors.
I'll conclude with one, final thought: I don't enjoy arguing for a small family ethic, or a population engineering scheme.
The Aztec capital, built in the middle of Lake Texcoco and linked by causeways to the mainland, was itself an astonishing engineering achievement: it sustained a population estimated at 200,000.
For this purpose, we conducted two studies with a population of engineering students.
Contained field trials of drives that do cause phenotypic changes are listed as moderate-high risk due to the very real possibility of a containment breach and subsequent unintentional population engineering; a standard drive with few or no expected phenotypic effects would represent a moderate risk, while a suppression drive would represent a high risk.
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the 3 glaucoma classification programs, the FS Mikelberg discriminant function (FSM), Moorfields Regression Analysis (MRA), and Glaucoma Probability Score (GPS) of version 3.0 of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) II (Heidelberg Engineering, Dossenheim, Germany), in a population-based setting for the first time.
They are joined on the task force by six researchers, representing electrical and computer engineering, natural resources, the School of Integrative Plant Science, chemical and biomolecular engineering, and population medicine and diagnostic sciences.
