To manage the transition to the open access (OA) model of scholarly publishing, we need to understand better what enables, encourages and inhibits the adoption of OA publishing among scientists, and to appreciate individual differences within disciplines.
This article explores a number of issues in agriculture and agricultural biotechnology putting a special emphasis within the philosophy of biology which is a fruitful area of study. In the era of evidence-based policy, framing and assessing the core evidence is fundamental to our ability to use research in support of public policy. According to her, the tools will provide a shared language and an institutional data set to support proposals at all levels. The American Journal of Bioethics 3.3 (2003) 28-30 1.250.721.8359
Recent debate on industrial policy has shifted toward innovation-related issues and economic geography. During the fall semester, the Working Group and Advisory Committee will complete a draft of data sets for these criteria, begin to collect data on financial considerations, and reach an agreement on developing software to collect and store reports.

A growing variety and number of genetic tests are advertised and sold directly to consumers (DTC) via the Internet, including nutrigenomic tests and associated products and services. Nutrigenomics raises ethical, legal and social issues particularly with respect to how the public may access nutrigenetic tests and associated nutritional and lifestyle advice. An international and inter-disciplinary research team has convened for the last seven years in an attempt to better understand the mechanisms of intellectual property in biotechnology innovation, and...

The semantic conception of scientific theories, which has been employed successfully in the analysis of evolutionary theory, is adopted here to analyse ecological theory.

The new science of nutrigenomics and its ethical and societal challenges Gene-diet interactions--which underlie relatively benign lactose intolerance to life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular disease--have long been known.
The latter is harder to predict than the former, and may pose the most significant challenges to plant-derived vaccines' (PDVs) success.

Nutrigenomics is concerned with the role of nutrients in gene expression, and nutrigenetics is the study of how genetic variants or polymorphisms (mutations) can affect responses to nutrients; nutritional genomics is the umbrella term. Sorry, you need to be a researcher to join ResearchGate. The development of effective agricultural monitoring networks is essential to track, anticipate and manage changes in the social, economic and environmental aspects of agriculture. Student Union Building 3700 Finnerty Road UVic President Jamie Cassels is equally excited by the event. This paper is the product of the work of the Intellectual Property Modeling Group (IPMG) at the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy at McGill University’s Faculty of Law.
An advisory committee has been established to begin reviewing research services and look into some of the issues surrounding the speed with which UVic’s Research Department responds to new initiatives.
In 2007, a producer survey elicited answers to 80 questions regarding their experiences, including production practices, tillage and herbicide use, control of volunteer canola, and weed-control practices.

He recently served as Vice-President, Research at UVic, and was previously the Director of the Innogen Institute at the University of Edinburgh. Academic-researcher-led public engagement and consultation on new biotechnology provides information about new biotechnology to the public, and solicits their attitudes, beliefs and understanding about the technology.

(UVic), and managed and operated by the ONC Society, a not-for-profit established by UVic in 2007. La comercialización y la amplia adopción de canola resistente a herbicidas han cambiado las prácticas de manejo de las malezas en el occidente de Canadá. Promising as this field may be, it raises several important social issues for consideration before the field can be fully endorsed. University of Victoria The use of an overall risk assessment based on genomic information is consistent with precision medicine.
Artificial microbes: Balanced regulation of synthetic biology. Though many of the proposals and reports warranted only a simple update and vote to pass a motion, David Castle, vice-president research, updated the Senate on the Strategic Research Plan, and Sarah Blackstone, Acting Associate Vice-President of Academic Planning, went into great detail about UVic’s Enhanced Planning Tools Initiative (EPTI). According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, aquaculture production has increased 8.8% per year since 1970, far surpassing productivity gains in terrestrial meat production at 2.8% in the same period (FAO 2007). The initiative aims to enhance UVic’s existing planning processes with qualitative and quantitative measures by providing tools to support planning on campus, encouraging evidence-informed decision-making, engaging in transparent resource allocation, and finding new ways to align resources, money, space, time, and people with strategic priorities.

Seaweeds are important and sustainable, yet under-exploited, sources of food and food-flavouring products for human populations, as well as being of great value as fertilizers and fodder for land-based agriculture. • knowledge management and intellectual property; We strive to act as an agent of constructive social change and will not publish racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise oppressive copy. ads@martlet.ca, Though many of the proposals and reports warranted only a simple update and vote to pass a motion, David Castle, vice-president, Premier John Horgan has called a snap election for, About 30 minutes northeast of Port Renfrew, near F, tfw you see your name in print Senior Staff W. Welcome back, UVic! Room B011 Our paper is written and published on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen peoples, and the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose relationships with this land continue to this day. Nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics) examines the links between nutrition and genetic-based disease.
This field has broad implications for understanding the interaction of human genomics and nutrition, but can also have very specific implications for individual dietary recommendations in light of personal genetics. Even if clinically beneficial, uptake would still depend on the attitudes of target populations.
