In 1814 the Lottery Committee was constituted to finance public improvement by means of lotteries, and between 1814 and 1836 it took some effective measures to improve conditions.
In the last years, the development of recombinant DNA technology has provided new tools for approaching yields improvement by means of genetic manipulation of biosynthetic pathways.
A new analytical solution is presented to study soft soil improvement by means of encased stone columns to reduce both settlement and consolidation time.
A systematic analysis and design method, based on the singular value/eigenvalue decomposition analysis of the load-flow Jacobian and the study of the controllability characteristics of an equivalent state model is used to study the voltage instability phenomenon as well as to assess the potential for small-signal voltage stability improvement by means of FACTS compensation.
Cognitive radio and femtocells are recent technology breakthroughs that aim to achieve throughput improvement by means of spectrum management and interference mitigation, respectively.
Its seeds contain enriched oil, protein, carbohydrate and other nutritional elements including vitamins, minerals and bioactive materials, which make peanut a major source of human nutrition, so it is very important to make peanut genetic improvement by means of molecular marker-assisted breeding and genetic engineering.
A potential problem of genome shuffling is that many industrial strains show poor sexual reproduction and therefore are not suitable for strain improvement by means of mating.
Attempting to encourage the hospitals to assume responsibility, the Belgian Ministry of Health decided to stimulate initiatives of quality improvement by means of a limited set of indicators, among which AMI-CFR, to be routinely analyzed.
