Download or read book Sustainability Compendium Edition IV written by Fibre2Fashion and published by Fibre2Fashion. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability Compendium is an informative sourcebook that holds detailed description of hundreds of sustainable textile companies filtered from different categories of the textile value chain. It's a guiding tool for companies who are seeking to turn their business sustainable as well as be an inspiration for others to turn towards ecological business. This compendium gives the featured companies a voice to narrate their sustainable story to the corporate world. Each participant have a space in this feature to present their sustainable activities setting an example that would lead others to join the sustainable drive. Sustainable, is what it has to be Fashion in itself is a dynamic industry, and if you choose to look at fashion solely from the sustainability point of view, then keeping track of developments is simply not easy. Inventions, innovations and ideas have already changed the narrative, and the axioms of the business of fashion that dominated the discourse at the turn of the century, today sound hopelessly outdated and out-of-place. ‘Sustainable fashion’ was just another segment of the industry till even in the early half of this decade. But not anymore. Thought leaders are unanimous about one thing—sustainable fashion can no more be a niche, and many of them agree that if it ain’t sustainable, then it ain’t fashion. By and by, many brands are lending credence to that idea, while for many others the idea is just beginning to sink in. This is where this compendium comes in—with ideas. There are many articles in this volume that discuss different aspects threadbare. ‘Fashionable=Sustainable. Is that even possible?’ argues that there is more to sustainable fashion than meets the eye. The article asserts that the relationship between fashion and sustainability is active and complex, and each time we look at the key ideas or issues at stake, different aspects seem to come to light. It looks at sustainability in manufacturing, working conditions of garment workers, and the role of the fashion designer in the entire process. Therein, ‘Revitalising a lifestyle’ is an interview with Edric Ong, an award-winning Malaysian designer of natural textiles, fashion and crafts. Currently, Senior Vice-President of the World Crafts Council Asia Pacific, he set up the World Eco-Fibre and Textile (WEFT) Network to further the cause of natural fibres and dyes. In a freewheeling interview, Ong talks about sustainable fashion and where it is going globally, and how it can be made a more permanent mode of retail fashion. He also talks about his well-known experiments with ikat, and points out that eco-lifestyle is about going back to the basics. ‘The True Cost of Fast Fashion’ goes ahead to underline the fact that it is indeed possible to improve and impact almost every aspect of the production process and factors such as scale, technical viability and global supply chains are no longer limiting as long as businesses are committed to paying the true cost of production. And, ‘No, fast is not sustainable’ takes a deep dive into the entire gamut of fashion, right from the birth of the concept to the explosive growth of the segment, and finally the backlash. I hope this fourth edition will give you thoughts to mull over and even implement some in your day to day business.

Download or read book Advances in Ascochyta Research written by Diego Rubiales and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legume crops provide an excellent source of high quality plant protein and have a key role in arable crop rotations reducing the need for fertilizer application and acting as break-crops. However, these crops are affected by a number of foliar and root diseases, being ascochyta blights the most important group of diseases worldwide. Ascochyta blights are incited by different pathogens in the various legumes. A number of control strategies have been developed including resistance breeding, cultural practices and chemical control. However, only marginal successes have been achieved in most instances, most control methods being uneconomical, hard to achieve or resulting in incomplete protection. This eBook covers recent advances in co-operative research on these diseases, from agronomy to breeding, covering traditional and modern genomic methodologies.

Download or read book Genetic Reconstruction of the Past written by Henry A Erlich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The same DNA technology that allows the analysis of a hair or tiny blood spot at a crime scene also enables sequencing the DNA of a bone fragment from a Neanderthal skeleton. Comparing the DNA sequences of different samples and comparing the frequency of specific genetic variants in different populations is a critical part of both forensic and evolutionary investigations. These two fields share a common goal: solving historical mysteries. The book discusses the intrinsic human curiosity about our origins and the desire to solve crimes and seek justice and how the recent emergence of DNA analysis has transformed our ability to address these universal human aspirations. The unifying theme of the book is the recently developed capacity to use DNA sequence information to make inferences about historical events. Part One is a discussion of how DNA analysis can reconstruct the recent past, in particular, the events that transpired at the scene of a crime. Part Two is a discussion of the application of DNA analysis to reconstructing the ancient past, using DNA sequences from human samples as well as from fossil remains to study the evolution of the human species and the historical relationships among contemporary and extinct human populations. Erlich discuss how he, along with his colleagues at Cetus Corp in the mid-1980s developed the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology of specific DNA amplification, a method of synthesizing millions of copies of a specific targeted DNA sequence and applied it to address forensic and evolutionary questions. It is this capacity, that has transformed both forensic science and evolutionary biology and has led to both the identification-and exoneration-of criminal suspects and a deeper understanding of human evolution. These techniques, now widely used, were applied in the first DNA criminal case, the first exoneration case, and the first identification of a missing person. Discussions on the history and the many remaining contentious issues in forensic DNA analysis in Part One are organized around several specific criminal cases, while the book tries to convey the spirit of "doing science."

Download or read book Molecular Ecology And Evolution The Organismal Side Selected Writings From The Avise Laboratory written by John C Avise and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a reprinted collection of 69 “classics” from the Avise laboratory, chosen to illustrate a trademark brand of research that harnesses molecular markers to scientific studies of natural history and evolution in the wild. Spanning the early 1970s through the late 2000s, these articles trace how the author and his colleagues have used molecular genetics techniques to address multifarious conceptual topics in genetics, ecology, and evolution, in a fascinating menagerie of creatures with oft-peculiar lifestyles. The organisms described in this volume range from blind cavefish to male-pregnant pipefishes and sea spiders, from clonal armadillos to natal-homing marine turtles, from hermaphroditic sea snails to hybridizing monkeys and tree frogs, from clonal marine sponges to pseudohermaphroditic mollusks to introgressing oysters, and from endangered pocket gophers, terrapins, and sparrows to unisexual (all-female) fish species to “living-fossil” horseshoe crabs, and even to a strange little fish that routinely mates with itself. The conceptual and molecular topics addressed in this volume are also universal, ranging from punctuated equilibrium to coalescent theory to the need for greater standardization in taxonomy, from cytonuclear disequilibrium statistics to the ideas of speciation duration and sympatric speciation, from historical population demography to phylogenetic reconstructions of males' sexual ornaments, from the population genetic consequences of inbreeding to Pleistocene effects on phylogeography, and from the molecular underpinnings of null alleles to the notion of clustered mutations that arise in groups to compelling empirical evidence for the unanticipated processes of gene conversion and concerted evolution in animal mitochondrial DNA. Overall, this collection includes many of the best, most influential, sometimes controversial, occasionally provocative, always intriguing, or otherwise entertaining publications to have emerged from the Avise laboratory over the last four decades. Thus, this book conveys, through the eyes of one of the field's longstanding pioneers, what “the organismal side” of molecular ecology and evolution really means.
