Finance and Technology have always been intertwined, from the invention of the abacus to make financial calculations easier to the mammoth supercomputers that are used to drive complex financial models today.

Technological disruptions over the last few decades have changed how we communicate, talk, make purchases, and do business. Emerging technologies in the financial services industry have consistently disrupted how consumers interact with their money, what they expect from financial institutions, and how those organizations operate.

Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is a group of crystallogenic bacillus that includes many variants. The bacteria can produce two major toxins, namely endotoxin (companion cell crystal) and exotoxin, which stop the pests from feeding, and finally the pests die from starvation and poisoning. The effect of exotoxin is slow and obvious during molting and metamorphosis. The effect of this drug is slow, and the effect can only be seen in about 2 days after the pest is fed, and the effective period is about 1 day, so it should be used 2 ~ 3 days earlier than conventional chemical agents, and the effect is better in the early age of the pest. It is safe for fish and bee, but highly toxic to silkworm...

A Comprehensive Overview of Project Finance and Corporate FinanceProject Finance and Corporate Finance (also referred to as Balance Sheet Financing) are two financing models to fulfill the basic objective of meeting the requirement of fund of a business entity, where both rely on debt and equity as a source of funds. The thin line that separates them, are (i) the purpose behind availing these types of finances and (ii) the security offered. Overall financials of a company are managed through corporate finance, which begins with financial modeling, raising capital, and optimizing fund usage. On the contrary, project finance comes into the picture when a specific project needs funding and the project’s assets and the project cashflows are offered as primary security apart from some additional collaterals. Despite the differences, corporate finance has often crept into the territory of Project Finance and has proven itself useful to finance certain projects...

Bridge loan helps real-estate or homebuyers take a loan against their current home in order to make the down payment on their new home. A bridge loan may be a good option for you if you want to purchase a new home before your current home has sold. This form of financing may also be helpful to businesses that need to cover operating expenses while awaiting long-term funding. When used for real estate, a bridge loan requires a borrower to pledge their current home or other assets as collateral to secure the debt — plus, the borrower must have at least 20% equity in that home. Bridge loans also tend to have high interest rates and only last for between six months and a year, so they’re best for borrowers who expect their current home to sell quickly...

3 Financing Methods for Infrastructure ProjectsGood numbers of financing methods that are available for infrastructure projects, and for public-private partnership (PPP) projects in particular. 1#Government FundingThe Government may choose to fund some or all of the capital investment in a project and look to the private sector to bring in expertise and efficiency. This is generally the case in a so-called Design-Build-Operate project where the operator is paid a lump sum for completed stages of construction and will then receive an operating fee to cover operation and maintenance of the project. Another example would be where the Government chooses to source out the civil works for the project through traditional procurement and then brings in a private operator to operate and maintain the facilities or provide the service. Even where Governments prefer that financing is raised by the private sector, increasingly Governments are recognizing that there are some aspects of the project or some risks in a project that may be easier or more sensible for the Government to take...
