Competition causes selection against relatively weaker cells, where a cell' s fitness determines its competition potential. These "loser" cells are eliminated when in co-culture with stronger "winner" cells but are fully viable when grown separately. Indeed, Darwin's theory of the "survival of the fittest" applies at the cellular level. [The lab] seeks to uncover(reverse engineer) and program(forward engineer) the genetic rules of cell fitness in order to answer fundamental biological questions about stem cells and give rise to a novel class of engineered cell therapies for regenerative medicine applications. 2, record 1, English, - stem%20cell%20fitness%20engineering

La tomate McGregor possède dans son patrimoine génétique un gène supplémentaire qui ralentit son pourrissement. Cette tomate peut être cueillie mûre sans poser de problèmes de conservation. Les tomates «normales», elles, sont récoltées vertes puis mûries artificiellement (par un traitement à l'éthylène) afin d'éviter qu'elles ne s'abîment durant leur transport. 2, record 3, French, - tomate%20transg%C3%A9nique

Site investigations. The objective of most geotechnical investigations is to obtain information on the site and subsurface conditions that is required for design and construction of engineered facilities and for evaluation and mitigation of geologic hazards, such as landslides, subsidence, and liquefaction. The site investigation is part of a fully integrated process that includes : 1. Synthesis of available data 2. Field and laboratory investigations 3. Characterization of site stratigraphy and soil properties 4. Engineering analyses 5. Formulation of design and construction criteria or engineering evaluations. 3, record 4, English, - site%20investigation
