de-identified data (a controlled access database). Neither type of database will contain information that is traditionally used to identify you, such as your name, address, medical record number, telephone number or social security number. However, people may develop ways in the future that would allow someone to link your genetic or medical information in our databases back to you. For example, someone could compare information in our databases with information from you (or a relative) in another database and be able to identify you (or a relative). Because the DNA sequence of each individual is unique (with the exception of identical twins), there is a very remote possibility that if a complete sequence determination of your DNA were publicly disclosed, it could be used by a researcher to determine your identity. It is also possible that there could be violations to the security of the computer systems used to share the codes linking your genetic and medical information to you. Patterns of genetic variation also can be used by law enforcement agencies to identify a person or his/her relatives. Your privacy is very important to us and we will use many safety measures to protect your privacy. However, in of all the safety measures that we will use, we cannot guarantee that your identity will never become known. Although your genetic information is unique to you, you do share some genetic information with your children, parents, brothers, sisters and other relatives. Consequently, it may be possible that researchers looking at your genetic information could guess your identity based on other genetic information that they might know about your relatives. Similarly, it may be possible that genetic information from you could be used to help identify your relatives. There may be other privacy risks that we have not foreseen. While we believe the risks to you and your family are very low, we are unable to tell you exactly what all the risks are. Planned Follow-up: [Explain the follow-up procedures. For example: We would like to keep track of your medical condition. We would like to do this by [e.g., calling you on the telephone once a year to see how you are doing]. Keeping in touch with you and checking your condition helps us look at the long-term effects of the research study.].

How accurate is the equipment used for measuring quantity (as a percentage or using units e.g. ± X% or X kg)? Also outline steps taken to ensure accuracy is maintained, such as calibration undertaken on a periodic basis (including relevant standards this would be conducted to). [your response to this question should reflect the size and complexity of your installation] What evidence will you retain to substantiate the figure for each consignment used per quarter? Section D: Determining gas yield How will you quantify the proportion of biomethane produced from each consignment of feedstock? If you are planning to use Ofgem’s Biogas and Biomethane Apportioning Tool please ensure you include the following information: whether or not you are using the data provided in the tool; how you have derived the data if you are not using that in the tool. [Please note that sites using only one consignment each quarter do not need to answer this question.] You are required to calculate greenhouse gas emissions based on the net calorific value (NCV) of the biomethane injected (also known as lower heating value (LHV)). I intend to measure the NCV. I intend to convert from gross calorific value (GCV) (also known as higher heating value (HHV)). Please provide further details of how you intend to convert from GCV to NCV or how you will measure this value.
c. Pollination stage d. Fertilization A mature male Angiosperm gametophyte consists of __3__ total cells, while a mature female has ___7___ total cells with __8__ nuclei. Fertilization occurs only after pollination in Angiosperms. a. True b. false A pollen grain is a MATURE/ IMMATURE male GAMETOPHYTE/ SPOROPHYTE. Ovaries are MATURE/ IMMATURE fruits. Fruits are MATURE/ IMMATURE ovaries. Ovules (inside the ovaries) are MATURE/ IMMATURE seeds. Seeds are MATURE/ IMMATURE ovules. While one of the two sperm in a mature gametophyte fertilizes the egg, the other fuses with the ________ to form a triploid cell. This cell within the ovary develops into the _______ for the embryo. Egg; endosperm Egg; Polar nuclei; endosperm Polar nuclei; fruit The endosperm derives its nutrients from the parent _________ and stores it as food for the embryo. Gametophyte Sporophyte Egg cells Sporangium Why do plants undergo an alternation of generations? Plants cannot move around, so it is advantageous for them to have mobile gametophytes, or at the least, mobile male gametophytes, so they can outcross with genetically distant members of their species. This is one means by which genetic diversity in plants arises.

Annexure I Technical Aspects of Biopesticides 1. What are Biopesticides Bio pesticides are living organisms which can intervene the life cycle of insect pests in such a way that the crop damage is minimized. The agents employed as biopesticides are parasites, predetors, fungi, bacteria and viruses which are natural enemies of pests. These bio agents can be conserved, preserved and multiplied under laboratory condition for field release. 2. Major types of bio-agents available for commercial production There are different types of bio-agents which can be commercially mass produced for large scale distribution among the farmers for control of insect pests. They are:

USMC PFC. HAROLD CHRIST AGERHOLM (Racine, WI) Harold grew up in Racine, Wisconsin and worked for a year high school as an operator. In the height of WWII, he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942. He received the Medal of Honor for risking his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 4th Battalion, 10th Marines, 2d Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces in the Marianas Islands in the Pacific in July of 1944. When the enemy launched a fierce, determined counterattack against our positions and overran a neighboring artillery battalion, Harold immediately volunteered to assist in the efforts to check the hostile attack and evacuate our wounded. Locating and appropriating an abandoned ambulance jeep, he repeatedly made extremely dangerous trips through heavy rifle and mortar fire and loaded and evacuated approximately 45 soldiers who were injured, working tirelessly and with utter disregard for his own safety during a grueling period of more than 3 hours. Despite intense, persistent enemy fire, he ran out to aid 2 men whom he believed to be wounded Marines but was himself mortally wounded by a Japanese sniper while carrying out this hazardous mission. His brilliant initiative, great personal valor and self-sacrificing efforts in the face of almost certain death reflect the

A milestone schedule that includes dates for one or more of the following at the direction of the COR: Commencement of lab work Completion of lab work Completion of Draft Final report Commencement of QC review Commencement of QA review Submission of Draft Final report BMDV work described in Part 2.2 ff., cannot commence until COR-approval of the BSMP is received by the Contractor. Analysis Requirements At the direction of the COR, the Contractor shall perform the following biological sample development work. Method Development and Validation Method Development The Contractor shall develop a method to quantitate a chemical, test article, biotransformation products, and/or other specified substances (analyte) in a specified biological matrix. Control matrix used to develop the method shall be from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, unless otherwise specified by the COR. Secondary matrices shall be incorporated into the method via matrix evaluations (see Section 2.3.6). The Contractor shall employ an analytical method suitable for small sample sizes (typically 100 µL for biofluids, typically plasma or whole blood, or 200 mg for tissues). The Contractor shall evaluate analytical methods available from the literature or other sources, including previously developed methods, to determine the lowest feasible concentration that may be measured.
A partial validation must assess the recovery, precision and accuracy of the method across the expected concentration range and determine the method limits (LOD and LLOQ) in the secondary matrix, characterize matrix effects on instrument response and/or recovery for the secondary matrix, and establish the blank response for the chemical or test article in the secondary matrix. The partial validation is run on the secondary matrix(ces) the procedures given in section 4.2.2.5.4.4. Partial Validation Procedure, below. Partial Validation Procedure Solvent Standards Preparation Prepare solvent standards with the same final concentrations (i.e., after any extraction, dilution, or concentration step) as the primary matrix standards. Single replicates of each solvent standard shall be prepared from one stock solution. Use the same standard stock solution (Stock A or Stock B) prepared for the full validation, or a freshly prepared stock at the same concentration, to prepare the solvent standards. Measure the solvent standard responses using the same analytical system used for the full validation in the primary matrix. Matrix Standards Preparation Sample preparation methods are typically based on those used for the primary matrix, but may deviate as

For example, paying attention to one’s diet is known to help with preventing seizures. A low carbohydrate, high-fat diet known as the ketogenic diet may be prescribed to help treat children with epilepsy. Something else to do is to get plenty of sleep each night and set a regular sleep schedule. Another example is to avoid bright, flashing lights and other visual stimuli. Playing video games and watching TV is not a good idea, along with avoiding drugs and alcohol. Finally, taking all medications prescribed by your doctor can also help to control them. All of these suggestions on what to do and what to avoid are known to help patients avoid seizures [26]. Another natural way to prevent someone from having an epileptic seizure is to have the person smell something right before their seizure starts. If an individual is known to have a smelling sensation, a seizure might be prevented by sniffing a strong odor such as garlic or roses. A question may arise if there is a way to actually “stop” a seizure mid-track? The answer is yes there is. If an individual is having a seizure, rubbing the muscles that are twitching during the attack may halt the seizure [27]. The introduction of biosensors into the medical field is a breakthrough in technology. There are so many possibilities and so many options that such a little electronic device gives people struggling with medical issues. This is true with the individuals that cannot get rid of their epileptic seizures through the use of medications, surgery and involving changes to their everyday life. The first biosensor that is used to help prevent epilepsy is called the Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). The “pacemaker for the brain” is designed to prevent seizures by sending regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the Vagus Nerve. These pulses are supplied by a device something like a pacemaker [28]. The Vagus Nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions of the body that are not under voluntary control. It passes through the neck and travels between the chest and abdomen and the lower part of the brain. In order to attach this device to the Vagus Nerve, the biosensor is placed under the skin on the chest. From here a wire runs from the chest
Fauna analysis at landscape level by R. Beudels (IRSNB) According to the project, the IRSNB team will study The contribution of fauna to ES Fauna sub- module will be developed for the DVM. With the followingsspecific tasks: (1) ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE ABUNDANCE of the main animal species (functional groups), (2) IDENTIFICATION/QUANTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERACTIONS between fauna, vegetation and ES”. The third task “(3) IMPLEMENTATION OF A MODULE FOR ANIMAL” will be mainly managed by the UMCCB team. Main traits of the Lac Télé – Lac Landscape It is the largest area of wetlands of Africa mainly covered (>80%) with flooded and swamp forests. These forests host three large primate species (gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos), which is unique in the world. They have an enormous value for biodiversity conservation but also as hydrological resources for local communities and as energy production for people living downstream The huge biological value of the area could be explained by a rather low human density but also by the fact that some communities keep their traditional systems of natural resources management. Otherwise, this is difficult to travel trough the swamp forests, which limits poaching but favours the exchange up to the cities following waterways. Logging only concerns terra firmae forests. To obtain results comparable with surveys conducted elsewhere, we will use standardized methods for data collections. In particular, we will apply the methodology of inventories developed by Hart & Hart (2010). Their specific objectives are summarized in the table below. A) Determine distribution and abundance of fauna B) Habitat evaluation C) Anthropic occupancy and impact evaluation 1 Exploration Area distribution Main forest types and geographic gradients Villages, settlements, footpaths, tracks and forest use signs 2 Inventory Density and abundance Relationships between habitat types and fauna Impacts of hunting and logging
