Technological directions

Often, the IT life cycle planning today is cost-, project-, reaction-, or necessity-based rather than being based on a well-maintained masterplan. This is not necessarily bad. Projects are sponsored by the local department. Hence project teams are closer to where the needs and record keeping rules are defined. However, the project teams need to understand the technology directions of the larger organization to ensure that the proper infrastructure is in place to support the production system.

With the advances in genetic engineering technology, directed evolution is no longer rocket science. It is a proven technology which opens a fast and relatively inexpensive pathway for developing new biocatalysts [97]. Successful synthetic... 

The manuscript was originally entered into a database by Lu Ziola. Diane Dowhaniuk edited the previous editions. The changes to this edition have been entered by Annabelle Wiseman, and her efficiency and willingness to work long hours to meet deadlines are much appreciated. Dr. Kay Simpson, formerly of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, directed the checking of several of the waste disposal procedures. 

Continuous-wave laser technology directs a continuous laser beam at the target, and the distance is calculated on the basis of frequency, wavelength, and phase shift in the returning beam. It is used for short-range, extremely high-accuracy, clean-air applications usually for positioning and only infrequently for level. 

Smart materials such as these illustrate an important technological direction for materials science the design of materials with sophisticated properties that behave more like biological systems. Let s briefly recap our history. In Chapter 4 we noted a significant period of discovery when people modified natural polymers to improve their properties. We can call this period, roughly before 1900, Stage 1, and it asked the question, How can I improve upon nature This was followed by a century of synthetic polymer science in which...

Fritz Kokesh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Directed research is an interesting term. To me it implies that there is a purpose in mind if it s successful. But the comments here assume that there is another feature to it that assumes that it s not frontier research. And the two aspects can be separate. To illustrate, if someone can see a purpose for something that s still occurring at the frontiers of science, then that should be considered every bit as basic as something that can t be seen.
