Certainly, some of the proposed ideas will be extremely difficult to achieve with current technology (e.g. genetically engineering improved efficiency of rubisco in wheat), but rapid advances in de novo enzyme design provide tantalizing glimpses of a different future (Jiang et al. 2008).
The Deck and Concrete Inputs worksheet values are in accordance with the current engineering practices.
Design of fire and explosion barriers fits well with the current engineering skills and work-processes in investment projects.
As Darwin noted, these solutions that natural evolutionary processes have and are still in the process of perfecting, are in most cases far superior to what we can achieve with our current engineering knowledge and methods.
They are falsifiable today, with our current engineering technologies, if one knows what to test for and how to test for these experimental observations.
It is argued, and discussed on the basis of an example of application to a cogeneration plant, that the new technique, called Extended Exergy Accounting (EEA), is a substantial improvement with respect to current engineering economic techniques, including Thermoeconomics.
The analysis results are compared with experimental results and the current Engineering Critical Assessment procedures.
Moreover, it is shown that the effect of adverse wind in decreasing the tunnel airflow rate predicted by the present simulations is much stronger compared with that suggested by the current engineering design approach.
Bioprinting technology circumvents various discrepancies associated with current tissue engineering strategies by providing an automated and advanced platform to fabricate various biomaterials through precise deposition of cells and polymers in a premeditated fashion.
