Abstract. The potential hazards posed by RNA interference (RNAi)âbased pesticides and genetically modified crops to nontarget organisms include off-target gene silencing, silencing the target gene in unintended organisms, immune stimulation, and saturation of the RNAi machinery. new peer-reviewed paper in the journal Bioscience draws attention to potential hazards on nontarget species of pesticides and GMOs made with RNA-interference (RNAi) gene-silencing techniques.
Intangible assets include operational assets that lack physical substance, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, franchises and goodwill. A companyâs intangible assets are often not reported on a company's financial statements or will be reported at significantly less than their actual value.
What are fixed assets? Fixed assets are a company's tangible, noncurrent assets that are used in its business operations. A common example of fixed assets is a manufacturer's plant assets such as its buildings and equipment. The word fixed indicates that these assets will not be used up or consumed or sold in the current accounting year.
