From the State Council Development Research Center and the State Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety Forum held informed, pesticide residues is the most prominent food safety issues, the current global pesticide residues in crops has become a serious threat to human health and the "invisible killer" billions of people every year, varying degrees of indirect poisoning by pesticides. Recently, the State "863" Project of major bio-engineering project "vegetables and fruits pesticide-degrading enzyme", by the Agricultural Sciences in China Institute of Biological Technology researchers after five years of hard work, successfully developed and adopted a national identification. The technology will be able to fully decompose pesticide toxic elements, and complete removal of pesticide residues, with international advanced level, and is expected to promote the adoption of technology to solve the global pesticide residues. According to the owner of the technology best Beijing Agricultural Trade Development Co., Ltd. introduces the new, which is named "Zambia pesticide degrading enzyme vegetables and fruits" of biological agents can quickly act on the molecules of organophosphorus pesticide residues through the degradation of molecules phosphate ester bond, to the toxic ingredients insoluble instantaneous decomposition .. more»

FINDING SCIENCE AND ART IN PHOENIX SCHOOLS

Many, many programs are available to students throughout all Phoenix Public Schools districts. Sensing the constant need for improvements, and to keep up with national and global standards, Phoenix Schools are meeting these demands head on. For example, some Phoenix Schools have implemented innovative Science, Art, and IB (International Baccalaureate) programs. InnoWorks, a new science program available to underprivileged Phoenix Schools middle-school students, was implemented in February 2007 by Grace Hsieh, a junior at the University of Arizona. Hsieh was looking to start a peer mentor and tutoring program when she came across a website detailing the program InnoWorks, which had its beginnings at Duke University. Phoenix Schools middle-schoolers take part in a free science camp organized and run entirely by UA undergraduates. Twenty-four students from six Phoenix Schools were selected for the camp. InnoWorks’ leaders hope that by exposing underprivileged Phoenix Schools students to college campuses and science research, more students will be inspired to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "Immediately it was easy to recognize what a great program it was, in its philosophy and vision," Hsieh said. Hsieh has gathered about .. more»

Since 1995, China's power industry maintained a rapid growth rate. The end of 2004, China's installed capacity reached 440 million kW, 2004 annual generation capacity of 2.1 trillion kW? H. It is estimated that by 2010 China's installed capacity will reach 700 million kW, 2020 will reach 10kW. New year Generator Calculated for the 20 million kW installed capacity (conservative), supporting high-voltage circuit breakers per year 200,000 units, high pressure Isolating switch About 40 million, low-voltage electrical components requirements more (about 200 million), of which circuit breaker (ACB), takes up about 46 million units, molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) about 440 million units, AC contactor ( ACC) of about 32 million units. Shows that economic development led to the demand for electricity and growing dependence, as borne power transmission and distribution, power equipment, low voltage electrical protection and control is especially important role. At present, every year around the world invested heavily in research on low-voltage electrical appliances, development. A low voltage electrical equipment industry development and prospects (A) low-voltage electrical products in China History Recent years, low-voltage electrical industry, a dramatic change in the development of low-voltage .. more»
