Synthetic Biology
Synthetic Biology (SB) is a revolutionary discipline with a vast range of practical applications, but is SB research really based on engineering principles? Does it contributing to the artificial synthesis of life or does it utilise approaches sufficiently advanced to fall outside the scope of biotechnology or metabolic engineering? This volume reviews the development of SB and includes the major milestones of the discipline, the ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approaches towards the construction of an artificial cell and the development of the “iGEM” competition. We conclude that SB is an emerging field with extraordinary technological potential, but that most research projects actually are an extension of metabolic engineering since the complexity of living organisms, their tight dependence on evolution and our limited knowledge of the interactions between the molecules, actually make life difficult to engineer.

Emerging Threats of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Synthetic biology is a field of biotechnology that is rapidly growing in various applications, such as in medicine, environmental sustainability, and energy production. However these technologies also have unforeseen risks and applications to humans and the environment. This open access book presents discussions on risks and mitigation strategies for these technologies including biosecurity, or the potential of synthetic biology technologies and processes to be deliberately misused for nefarious purposes. The book presents strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from 'dual-use concern' biosecurity challenges that may be raised by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors. Several k...

The First Steps of Life
Origin of Life studies have a nearly-impossible goal: understanding nature through the comprehension of its origins and its complexities. As a growing field with poorly-defined borders, Origin of Life studies profit from progress in other disciplines. This book proposes both an overview of this large area and an in-depth look at the opinions and results obtained by some of the active contributors of this fascinating and deeply thought-provoking matter. The topics are presented in a bottom-up order, first touching on the habitability of the universe, then the rationale behind meaningful prebiotic chemistry, the possible or probable prebiotic chemical frames, the problem of chirality, and moving on through the role of minerals in biogenesis, biogenic fertile environments, the in-and-out problem as solved by vesicles physics, the evolution of the codes, the structure of LUCA and its proto metabolisms and the meaning of complex extant biological biomorphs, as exemplified by viroids. These topics and the reasoning within the chapters are provided against the backdrop of the evolution of information and complexity.
Ebrencs del segle XIX
A partir del cicle de conferències "Personatges de la història social, política i econòmica del territori ebrenc al segle XIX" organitzades per la Universitat Rovira i Virgili al Campus de les Terres de l’Ebre, l’any 2007, apareix Ebrencs del segle XIX: Jaume Tió i Noé per Juan Antonio Gonzalez; Joan Abril i Guanyabéns per Jacobo Vidal Franquet; Jules Carvalho, per Emeteri Fabregat; Manuel Porcar i Tió per Emili Llorente; Teodoro Gonzalez, per Josep Bayerri; Ramon Cabrera per Roc Salvadó Poy i el Context social i econòmic del territori ebrenc al segle XIX, per Xavier Ferré Trill. Aquesta publicació fa un recull d’aportacions sobre alguns dels personatges i les seves trajectòries, per a la memòria històrica, per al reconeixement i la identitat territorial i per a la posada en valor del patrimoni intel·lectual de les Terres de l’Ebre.
Cultures of International Exhibitions 1840-1940
Beyond the great exhibitions, expositions universelles and world fairs in London, Paris or Chicago, numerous smaller, yet ambitious exhibitions took place in provincial cities and towns across the world. Focusing on the period between 1840 and 1940, this volume takes a novel look at the exhibitionary cultures of this period and examines the motivations, scope, and impact of lesser-known exhibitions in, for example, Australia, Japan, Brazil, as well as a number of European countries. The individual case studies included explore the role of these exhibitions in the global exhibitionary network and consider their ?marginality? related to their location and omission by academic research so far. ...
