National Systems Of Innovation
The National Innovation System (also NIS, National System of Innovation) is the flow of technology and information among people, enterprises and institutions which is key to the innovative process on the national level. According to innovation system theory, innovation and technology development are results of a complex set of relationships among actors in the system, which includes enterprises, universities and government research institutes. Origins of term The term ''National System of Innovation'' originated when Christopher Freeman and Bengt-Åke Lundvall worked together in the late 1980s. Freeman's research drew heavily on political economy of Friedrich List and his historical account of the rise of Japan as an economic superpower. Lundvall's work explored the important social interactions between suppliers and customers and their role in encouraging innovation in Denmark. Apart from a general definition, as above, there is no canonical definition of national innovation syst ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nitrogen Solubility Index
The nitrogen solubility index (NSI) is a measure of the solubility of the protein in a substance. It is typically used as a quick measure of the functionality of a protein, for example to predict the ability of the protein to stabilise foams, emulsions or gels. To determine the NSI, the sample is dried, dispersed in a 0.1 M salt solution, centrifuged and filtered. The NSI is the amount of Nitrogen in this filtered solution divided by the nitrogen in the initial sample, as measured by the Kjeldahl method The Kjeldahl method or Kjeldahl digestion () in analytical chemistry is a method for the quantitative determination of a sample's organic compound, organic nitrogen plus ammonia/ammonium (NH3/NH4+). Without modification, other forms of inorganic ni .... The relevance of the NSI is based on the fact that proteins are the major biological source of Nitrogen: for various types of protein, there are empirical formulas which correlate the nitrogen content to the protein content.

NASA Standard Initiator
The NASA Standard Initiator (NSI) is a pyrotechnic device used to set off other pyrotechnic devices. It is the central multi-purpose component of a modular system of detonating cords, pyrotechnics and various other explosive charges with many different uses. The ignition charge of the device is a blend of zirconium, potassium perchlorate, Viton B and graphite, often abbreviated as ZPP. Uses of the device include: * Setting off pressure cartridges, pocket sized gas generators which in turn pneumatically activate other systems. * Setting off the NASA standard detonator, which itself activates other systems explosively. * Triggering Pyrotechnic Circuit Interrupters, severing bundles of electrical cables. * Triggering explosive valves to open/close pressurization lines or fuel lines. * Triggering a pyrotechnic pin puller which opens a Marman clamp, separating two spacecraft. * Acting as an igniter. Development The NASA Standard Initiator (NSI) was developed from the Single-Brid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
