Transportation System Engineering. Transportation System Engineering entails the efficient management and operation practices, design, and assessment of the cost-effectiveness of transportation systems. The assessment of transportation systems requires performance modeling techniques, traffic simulation, and environmental impact (noise and air pollution) analyses.

Bacitracin biosynthesis requires a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase with three major protein components, BacABC. This synthetase has a modular structure. There are associated regulatory and transport systems. Biosynthesis of bacitracin has been engineered in the surrogate host, B. subtilis, by genetic techniques. A strain, B. subtilis KE 350, expresses the entire 49-kb bacitracin...

Computer simulation of chemical reaction or reaction-transport systems has long been used in chemical engineering process design, and has more recently moved into the chemical research... 

In all the foregoing discussion on reverse osmosis transport, system analysis and process design, no new chemical engineering principle Is Involved. But the manner In which the known principles are combined and expressed Is new the kind of results arising from such expressions Is new and the direction such approach sets for future work on the subject Is also new, all of which open a new area of chemical engineering.

For an effective symbiotic state, the plant and the microsymbiont must maintain a constant metabolic flow of carbon and nitrogen. While the bacteroids function as an engine for nitrogen fixation the fuel comes from the plant. Dicarboxylic acids are the primary carbon sources fed to the bacteroids by the plant. This unidirectional flow of carbon must be controlled by the PBM. Recently, several specific carbon and amino acid transport systems have been identified in the PBM using isolated peribac-teroid units (PBU Day et al., 1990). Thus, in order for the host plant to house endosymbiotic bacteria and support their metabolic needs, a number of nodulin genes must be induced to support the ontogeny and function of the nodules.

A second, even more speculative point is that the mathematical framework of nonlinear dynamics may provide a basis to begin to bridge the gap between local microstructural features of a fluid flow or transport system and its overall meso- or macroscale behavior. On the one hand, a major failure of researchers and educators alike has been the inability to translate increasingly sophisticated fundamental studies to the larger-scale transport systems of traditional interest to chemical engineers. On the other hand, a basic result from theoretical studies of nonlinear dynamical systems is that there is often an intimate relationship between local solution structure and global behavior. Unfortunately, I am presently unable to improve upon the necessarily vague notion of a connection between these two apparently disparate statements.
