Biometry for Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) power calculation Biometry is the method of applying mathematics to biology. The term was originally used by Whewell initially in the 1800s for calculating life expectancy. The refractive power of the eye primarily depends upon the cornea, the lens, ocular media, and the axial length of the eye.

Biofuel A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter.iodiesel can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles. Biodiesel is produced from oils or fats using transesterification and is the most common biofuel in Europe.

What is Bioremediation? Bioremediation is a waste management technique that involves the use of organisms to remove or neutralize pollutants from a contaminated site. According to the EPA, bioremediation is a “treatment that uses naturally occurring organisms to break down hazardous substances into less toxic or non toxic substances”.Technologies can be generally classified as in situ or ex situ.ccording to the EPA, bioremediation is a “treatment that uses naturally occurring organisms to break down hazardous substances into less toxic or non toxic substances”.

- Biochar is a name for charcoal when it is used for particular purposes, especially as a soil amendment. Like all charcoal, biochar is created by pyrolysis of biomass. want to introduce you to a new product that is changing the way many people understand soil ammendments. This material is being rapidly adopted by compost producers focused on the microbial aspects of compost. It is usually an ingredient in premium compost and it is called Biochar.

The key to stem cell differentiation is the microenvironment mainly due to the bioreactor, the differentiation medium (with growth factors), and the culture mode. The ideal differentiation system is scalable and fully controlled.

What is Bioremediation? 1. Bioremediation is a treatment process that uses naturally occurring microorganisms (yeast, fungi, or bacteria) to break down, or degrade, hazardous substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances. Microorganisms, just like humans, eat and digest organic substances for nutrients and energy.

Cofactor (biochemistry) A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is required for the protein's biological activity. These proteins are commonly enzymes, and cofactors can be considered helper molecules that assist in biochemical transformations. cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is required for the protein's biological activity.

Learning About Your Health What is an Axial Eye Length Biometry? Axial Eye Length Biometry (A-Scan or Biometry), uses sound waves to measure the length of the eye and the thickness of structures inside the eye. A medical eye doctor (Ophthalmologist) uses these measurements to evaluate your eyes prior to cataract surgery. Also, the doctor uses these measurements to choose a new lens for you. This lens will be placed inside the eye once the cataract is removed.

Biochar Biochar is charcoal used as a soil amendment. Like most charcoal, biochar is made from biomass via pyrolysis. Biochar is under investigation as an approach to carbon sequestration to produce negative carbon dioxide emissions. Biochar thus has the potential to help mitigate climate change via carbon sequestration.

Bioreactor Design and Bioprocess Controls for Industrialized Cell Processing Dynamic Bioreactors for Stem Cell Cultivation. Bioreactors are closed systems in which a biological process can be carried out under controlled environmental conditions. A typical system comprises a bioreactor, sensors and actuators, and a controller and software to monitor and control the conditions inside the vessel.

Biofuel Biogas is methane produced by the process of anaerobic digestion of organic material by anaerobes. It can be produced either from biodegradable waste materials or by the use of energy crops fed into anaerobic digesters to supplement gas yields. The solid byproduct, digestate, can be used as a biofuel or a fertilizer.

Biofilter Biofiltration is a pollution control technique using living material to capture and biologically degrade pollutants. Common uses include processing waste water, capturing harmful chemicals or silt from surface runoff, and microbiotic oxidation of contaminants in air.iofiltration is thus usually referred to as a fixed–film process. Generally, the biofilm is formed by a community of different microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc.), macro-organisms (protozoa, worms, insect’s larvae, etc.) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) (Flemming and Wingender, 2010).

What is bioremediation? Bioremediation works by providing these pollution-eating organisms with fertilizer, oxygen, and other conditions that encourage their rapid growth. These organisms would then be able to break down the organic pollutant at a correspondingly faster rate. In fact, bioremediation is often used to help clean up oil spills. Bioremediation of a contaminated site typically works in one of two ways. In the case described above, ways are found to enhance the growth of whatever pollution-eating microbes might already be living at the contaminated site.

Pilot plant A pilot plant of a bioreactor. A pilot plant is a small industrial system which is operated to generate information about the behavior of the system for use in design of larger facilities.Pilot plant is a relative term in the sense that plants are typically smaller than full-scale production plants, but are built in a range of sizes.f a system is well defined and the engineering parameters are known, pilot plants are not used. For instance, a business that wants to expand production capacity by building a new plant that does the same thing as an existing plant may choose to not use a pilot plant.

Bioremediation Biopiles are used to reduce concentrations of contaminants in excavated soil. Bioremediation through use of biopiles involves placing contaminated, excavated soil into piles (cells) and stimulating microbial activity through aeration and/or addition of amendments such as minerals, nutrients, and moisture.

Biomarker In genetics, a biomarker (identified as genetic marker) is a DNA sequence that causes disease or is associated with susceptibility to disease. They can be used to create genetic maps of whatever organism is being studied.ne example of a commonly used biomarker in medicine is prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This marker can be measured as a proxy of prostate size with rapid changes potentially indicating cancer.

DNA In order to preserve biological information, it is essential that the sequence of bases in each copy are precisely complementary to the sequence of bases in the template strand. Many DNA polymerases have a proofreading activity.ranscription is carried out by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that copies the sequence of a DNA strand into RNA. To begin transcribing a gene, the RNA polymerase binds to a sequence of DNA called a promoter and separates the DNA strands.
