Biological engineering

Biological engineering or bioengineering is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products.

See Pembient and Biological engineering

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that involves the integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences in order to achieve the application of organisms and parts thereof for products and services.

See Pembient and Biotechnology

Black market

A black market, underground economy, or shadow economy is a clandestine market or series of transactions that has some aspect of illegality or is not compliant with an institutional set of rules.

See Pembient and Black market

Elephant

Elephants are the largest living land animals.

See Pembient and Elephant

Endangered species

An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction.

See Pembient and Endangered species

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Pembient and Extinction

Initial coin offering

An initial coin offering (ICO) or initial currency offering is a type of funding using cryptocurrencies.

See Pembient and Initial coin offering

International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

See Pembient and International Union for Conservation of Nature

Ivory

Ivory is a hard, white material from the tusks (traditionally from elephants) and teeth of animals, that consists mainly of dentine, one of the physical structures of teeth and tusks.

See Pembient and Ivory

Poaching

Poaching is the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.

See Pembient and Poaching

Reverse engineering

Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so.

See Pembient and Reverse engineering

Rhinoceros

A rhinoceros (rhinoceros or rhinoceroses), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae; it can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea.

See Pembient and Rhinoceros

Seattle

Seattle is a seaport city on the West Coast of the United States.

See Pembient and Seattle

Synthetic biology

Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary field of science that focuses on living systems and organisms, and it applies engineering principles to develop new biological parts, devices, and systems or to redesign existing systems found in nature.

See Pembient and Synthetic biology

Tissue engineering

Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline that uses a combination of cells, engineering, materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to restore, maintain, improve, or replace different types of biological tissues.

See Pembient and Tissue engineering

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.

See Pembient and United States
