ACAS is being used to describe short-range systems intended to prevent actual metal-on-metal collisions. In contrast, ASAS is being used to describe longer-range systems used to maintain standard en route separation between aircraft (5 nm {9.25 km} horizontal /1000' {305 m} vertical). Obstacle Collision Avoidance System is a ground based system that uses a low powered radar mounted on or near the obstacle. 2  The radar detects aircraft in the proximity of the obstacle and firstly warns aircraft via flashing medium intensity lights and secondly warns aircraft of the obstacle via a VHF broadcast.
Biotechnology - applied science that is concerned with biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Botany - the scientific study of plants. Cell biology - the study of cells at the microscopic or at the molecular level. It includes studying the cellsâ physiological properties, structures, organelles, interactions with their environment, life cycle, division and apoptosis. Chronobiology - a science that studies time-related phenomena in living organisms.
Marine Biology - study of ocean plants and animals and their ecological relationships Medicine - the science which relates to the prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease. Microbiology - the branch of biology that deals with microorganisms and their effects on other living organisms Molecular Biology - the branch of biology that deals with the formation, structure, and function of macromolecules essential to life, such as nucleic acids and proteins, and especially with their role in cell replication and the transmission of genetic information
