Global and local coordinates

This chapter described the global and local coordinate systems utilized in the formulation of spatial multibody systems. Global coordinate system is considered in the present work to denote the inertia frame. Additionally, body-fixed coordinate systems, also called local coordinate systems, are utilized to describe local properties of points that belong to a particular body. Furthermore, the process of transforming local coordinates into global coordinates is characterized by considering a transformation matrix. In the present work, Cartesian coordinates are utilized to locate the center of mass of each rigid body, as well as the location of any point that belongs to a body.

A spin-offs journey into achieving marketable products from bacterial cellulose

[Excerpt] Academic spin-offs, technological ventures born inside Universities, have increasingly strengthen the connections between the scholarship and the economy, by fostering the role of technology transfer and knowledge commercialization. This presentation will outline the major steps in taking an idea or a technology to market, growing the venture and aiming at securing a successful exit. Also, it will present BCTechnologies (Bacterial Cellulose Technologies), a spin-off from the University of Minho (Portugal). (...)

By-products of beer fermentation

Among the most important factors influencing beer quality is the presence of well-adjusted amounts of higher alcohols and esters; as well as the successful reduction of undesirable by-products such as diacetyl. While higher alcohols and esters contribute rather positively to the beer aroma, diacetyl is mostly unwelcome for beer types with lighter taste. Thus, the complex metabolic pathways in yeast responsible for the synthesis of both pleasant and unpleasant by-products of fermentation were given special attention in this last chapter.
