Model organisms have lengthy been a mainstay of fundamental and applied study in the life sciences. Among model organisms, it is model animals that have had a central place in medical investigation and in pharmaceutical and biotechnology business investigation, including drug discovery, preclinical studies, and toxicology. Despite the fact that pharmaceutical organizations have lengthy employed animal models based on such mammalian species as mice and rats, dogs, cats, pigs, and primates, far more recently the pharmaceutical/biotechnology business has also adopted several invertebrate and lower vertebrate animal models that have emerged from academic laboratories. These animal models include the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila, and the zebrafish. The adoption of invertebrate and zebrafish animal models by industry has been driven by the advent of genomics, particularly the obtaining that … Read entire article »

Introduction The ocean technologies test bed (OTTB) will be an engineering laboratory, located on the sea floor. The OTTB will be integrated with the Experimental Network under the sea observatory. It will enable scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development and systems engineering. More particularly, it will facilitate analysis into the technologies needed to extend the reach of cabled ocean observatories making use of underwater vehicles, autonomous instrumentation, acoustic networks and manufacturing. In the Sea, machine layout difficulty is solved by Group Technology concept. This article developed the implementation of group technologies at ocean technology. Description The ocean technologies test bed (OTTB) will be an integrated laboratory suitable for scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development, systems engineering and basic marine science, located on the sea floor. This innovative technology has a broad range of … Read entire article »
