  2. Rendering (animal products) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(animal_products)

    In wet processing, either boiling water or steam is added to the material, separating fat into a floating phase. In dry processing, fat is released by dehydrating the raw material. The temperature range used may be high or low. Rendering may be done either in discrete batches or in a continuous process.

    Extenders were originally used to reduce costs, but they were later used to make meat products more healthy by adding dietary fiber, or to improve the texture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat

    Cultured meat production allows the biological processes that normally occur within an animal to occur without the animal. Since cultured meat is grown in a controlled, artificial environment, some have commented that cultured meat more closely resembles hydroponic vegetables, rather than genetically modified vegetables.

    Schematic representation of factors promoting R-loop formation and stabilization. An R-loop is a three-stranded nucleic acid structure, composed of a DNA:RNA hybrid and the associated non-template single-stranded DNA. R-loops may be formed in a variety of circumstances and may be tolerated or cleared by cellular components.

  6. Broiler industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broiler_industry

    Broiler breeder farms raise parent stock which produce fertilized eggs. A broiler hatching egg is never sold at stores and is not meant for human consumption. [9] The males and females are separate genetic lines or breeds, so that each line can be selected for optimal traits for productivity in either females or males, rather than a single line in which a compromise is reached between female ...

  7. Optical communications repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Optical_communications_repeater

    Some repeaters also correct for distortion of the optical signal by converting it to an electrical signal, processing that electrical signal and then retransmitting an optical signal. Such repeaters are known as optical-electrical-optical (OEO) due to the conversion of the signal. These repeaters are also called regenerators for the same reason.
