"What's particularly intriguing about Volvox is that it has learned how to selectively turn down photosynthesis or channel it to support another cell type," said DOE JGI collaborator and co-first author Jim Umen at the Salk Institute. "While we don't yet understand this trait well, it could factor into how photosynthetic organisms can be engineered to do what we want, such as make biofuels or other products, rather than what they typically do, which is grow and make more of themselves."
"The fundamental developmental biology interest in studying the Volvocine algae is that a single cell ancestor has evolved multicellularity and complicated cellular processes in a short evolutionary period," explained DOE JGI bioinformaticist and co-first author Simon Prochnik. What the team found, he said, is "an astonishing lack of innovation" in the Volvox genome when compared with Chlamydomonas, particularly given their completely different morphologies. "The notion that 'if you're small, you're simple' is starting to unravel. The more unicellular organisms we sequence, the more we see this."
Analysis revealed there were approximately 1,800 protein families unique to Volvox and Chlamydomonas. These families likely have served as a rich source of genetic material for generating the developmental and morphological changes in the multicellular species, particularly as some of the families contain proteins known to be associated with multicellularity. How they are used differently in Volvox versus Chlamydomonas, despite being shared, is a question for future research.

This invention relates to the field of non-woven filter elements, and, in particular, filters composed of glass fibers, synthetic short fibers, and polymer fibrids.
The production of a papery product using synthetic fibers is well known. For example, a papery product employing a synthetic fiber such as polyester or nylon or a chemical fiber such as rayon is known. The bonding or matting of such a fiber using a binder, such as a suitable resin, is also known.
A particular type of papery product is that formed mainly of a fiber made of a wholly aromatic polyamide, especially, poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide. Such a product is excellent in its heat-resisting properties and flame retardant properties. For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 35-11851, a poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide solution in an amide polar solvent is dispersed into a dispersing medium formed mainly of water to prepare a thin foliated body having a specific configuration, the thin foliated body is then mixed and intertwined with a fiber in water and dried, and the materials are subjected to heat and pressure to prepare a papery product. According to this method, a papery product which is compact in structure and excellent in its electrical insulating property can be obtained, but since the process for preparing the thin foliated body and the papermaking step use a large amount of liquid, this method requires a considerably large amount of energy in the solvent recovery step and the drying step.
To solve this problem, it has been suggested to produce a papery product of high density without employing a papermaking process, which requires the use of a specific binder and a complicated system. It has also been proposed to apply heat and pressure to wholly aromatic polyamide fibers having a low degree of orientation and a low degree of crystallinity (Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 52-105975). However, according to this method, since the wholly aromatic polyamide fiber used is inferior in mechanical strength and heat-resistance, the thus obtained papery product inevitably has poor mechanical strength and poor heat-resistance.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,398,995 relates to a papery product composed of a fibrous web, at least part of which is made up of wholly aromatic polyamide fibers having a readily soluble skin layer and a sparingly soluble or insoluble core layer. In forming the web, the skin layer is softened and fuses the polyamide fibers. The papery product may, optionally, include fibers of glass and cellulose acetate. The method of forming papery products in accordance with this patent involves complicated treatment steps to form the core/shell polymer fiber used in the formation of the papery product. This renders the product extremely expensive, and hence impractical, to manufacture.
A combination of glass fibers and aromatic polyamide fibers is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,920,428. This patent relates to a filter element adapted to remove particulate from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine comprising a non-woven mat of glass fibers fused with aromatic polyamide fibers. More specifically, the aromatic polyamide fibers may be mixtures of fibrids and short fibers as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,756,908. However, while the materials described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,920,428 may be satisfactory for high temperature applications, it is not a very economically suitable filter under the contemplated circumstances. Moreover, such a filter element is found to exhibit decreased permeability and a low void fraction.
There remains a need, therefore, for an inexpensive and practical filter which is suitable for low temperature applications, and which requires low amounts of energy to provide a strong, yet flexible filter element which has a relatively high void fraction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a strong yet flexible non-woven filter element which is ideally suited for use at lower temperatures.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a flexible, non-woven filter element which is of increased permeability, and which is strong and ideally suited for use at lower temperatures.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive, practical filter element having minimal energy requirements for its manufacture.
These and other objects, which will become apparent to the skilled artisan upon a review of the detailed description of this invention, the drawing and the claims appended hereto, are accomplished by a non-woven filter element according to the present invention.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a filter element of high strength and good flexibility and permeability which is ideally suited for use at lower temperatures, and particularly temperatures below 400° F. The filter element of the present invention is comprised of a wet laid non-woven mat of (i) glass fibers, (ii) synthetic short fibers, e.g., aromatic polyamide short fibers and (iii) polymer fibrids having a softening point below the softening point of the short fibers. The synthetic short fibers are believed bound to the glass fibers by the polymer fibrids, which act as a binder. The resulting filter exhibits good strength and flexibility, improved permeability and can be manufactured in an efficient and cost effective manner. These filter elements are particularly well suited for use in lower temperature filtering applications.
The FIGURE of the Drawing is a plan view of a portion of a non-woven fiber mat of this invention.
The present invention provides a filter element of high strength and good flex which is useful in the filtration of particulates from a medium at lower temperatures, i.e., around 400° F. or less, said filter element comprising a non-woven mat of glass fibers, synthetic short fibers, and polymer fibrids having a softening point below the softening point of the short fibers. In the non-woven mat, the short fibers are believed bound to said glass fibers by use of the polymer fibrids as a binder. It should be noted, however, that the contribution of the fibrids is believed more than just as a binder. The polymer fibrids also add to the unique structural and physical characteristics of the filter mat of the instant invention. It is the combination of components which renders the practice of the present invention so advantageous.
The first component of the non-woven mat is the glass fibers. The glass fibers can generally have any diameter, but preferably from about 0.05-15 microns and lengths from about 1/4 to 3 inches. The glass fibers can comprise macro fibers, micro fibers or a mixture thereof.
In one preferred embodiment, the glass fibers are a mixture of glass macro fibers having a diameter of about 6-15 microns, and glass micro fibers having a diameter of about 0.05-2 microns, and most preferably about 0.6 micron. The macro fiber can be of any length up to about 3 inches or more, while the micro fibers are preferably less than one inch, and more preferably less than 1/4 inch long. For example, good results are obtained using micro fibers of about 0.6 micrometers in diameter and about 1/16 through 1/4 inch in length. During blending they may became chopped up into random lengths. Mixtures containing about 50-90 weight percent macro fibers and 10-50 weight percent micro fibers relative to the total glass fiber content are preferred.
The second component of the non-woven mat is the synthetic short fiber. Among the useful synthetic (man made) fibers for the present invention are the aromatic polyamide short fibers, as well as short fibers of polybenzimidazole, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamides (nylons), polyesters, liquid crystal polymers, polypropylene or carbon short fibers. The most preferred short fiber, however, is that of an aromatic polyamide short fiber. The term aromatic polyamide includes wholly aromatic polyamides as well as non-wholly aromatic polyamids, both of which are contemplated. Examples of suitable aromatic polyamides are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,094,511 and British U.S. Pat. No. 1,106,190, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The preferred wholly aromatic polyamide usable for the present invention contains repeating units of formulae (I1) and (II), ##STR1## wherein Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 respectively represent, independently from each other, an unsubstituted or substituted divalent aromatic radical which comprises a single aromatic ring, or two or more aromatic rings that are condensed together, or are linked together by a single bond, or by a bridging atom or radical, and which is oriented either meta or para, and R1, R2 and R3 respectively represent, independently from each other, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
In the formula (I) and (II), it is preferable that Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 be respectively selected, independently from each other, from the group consisting of the radicals of the formulae: ##STR2## wherein R represents a member selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, lower alkoxy radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen atoms and a nitro radical, n represents zero or an integer of from 1 to 4 and X1 represents a member selected from the group consisting of: ##STR3## wherein Y2 represents a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a lower alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Also, in the formulae (I) and (II), it is more preferable that Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 respectively represent, independently from each other, a member selected from p-phenylene radical, m-phenylene radical, biphenylene and radicals of the formulae: ##STR4## wherein X2 represents a member selected from ##STR5## in which Y2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Furthermore, in the formulae (I) and (II), it is still more preferable that Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 be respectively a p-phenylene or m-phenylene radical.
Moreover, it is preferred that the aromatic polyamide contain the repeating unit of the formula (II) in which Ar2 and Ar3 are respectively a p-phenylene or m-phenylene radical, most preferably, a m-phenylene radical.
The aromatic polyamide may contain 30 molar % or less of one or more comonomers, for example, aliphatic diamines, such as hexamethylene diamine and piperazine, and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, such as adipic acid, based on the entire molar amount of the comonomers contained in the polyamide. The preferred aromatic polyamides are those having a softening temperature above about 350° C. Examples include:
poly(4,4'-diphenylene terephthalamide)
poly(3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diphenylene terephthalamide)
poly(ethylene terephthalamide)
poly(4,4'-methylenediphenylene terephthalamdie)
poly(4,4'-diphenylene isophthalamide)
poly(4,4'-methylenediphenylene isophthalamide)
poly(trimethylene terephthalamide)
poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide)
poly(3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-methylenediphenylene terephthalamide)
poly(p-xylene terephthalamide)
poly(3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diphenylene isophthalamide)
The most preferred aromatic polyamide is poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), which is commercially available under the name "Nomex",(Reg. trademark E. I. du Pont Company).
The synthetic short fibers of the present invention can have about any conventional fiber diameter and length. The preferred polymer fibers used in making the filter element are those conventionally used to make synthetic papers. These short fibers are referred to as "floc" and comprise fibers less than one inch in length, and generally about 0.25 inch in length.
It has been found in the practice of the present invention that when glass fibers are heated with the synthetic short fibers and the polymer fibrids of the present invention, even at temperatures generally below 500° F., the fibrids soften and deform around the glass fibers and the short fibers, thereby binding them to each other. The resulting filter exhibits good strength and flexibility, and also exhibits improved permeability after the heat treatment.
The fibrids according to the present invention are small, non-granular, non-rigid, fibrous or film-like particles. Two of their three dimensions are on the order of microns. Their smallness and suppleness allows them to be deposited in physically entwined configurations such as the fiber mat. The polymer fibrids of the present invention also have a softening point below the softening point of the synthetic short fibers used. Thus, when heat is applied to a fibrous mixture of glass fibers, synthetic short fibers and the polymer fibrids, the fibrids deform and bind the short fibers to the glass fibers, forming a mat. The fibrids may be composed of any polymeric material so long as its softening point is below the softening point of the aromatic synthetic short fibers. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polymer fibrids are comprised of cellulose acetate fibrids.
The ratio of glass fibers to polymer fibers can vary widely. A useful range is from about 30-95 weight percent glass fiber and from about 5-70 weight percent of a mixture of synthetic short fibers and polymer fibrids.
Excellent filters can be made in a preferred embodiment using a mixture of glass micro fibers, poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) short fibers and cellulose acetate fibrids. Preferably the glass micro fibers are in the 0.05-2 micron range, and more preferably in the 0.6 through 1.6 micron range. From about 5 to about 70 weight percent of the mat can be poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) short fibers and cellulose acetate fibrids, and the balance glass micro fibers. More preferably, from about 10-50 weight percent of the mat is poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) short fibers and cellulose acetate fibrids and the balance glass micro fibers having a diameter of about 0.6-1.6 microns.
Referring to the FIGURE of the Drawing, the filter element is seen to be a random nonwoven mat of glass macro fibers 1, aromatic polyamide short fibers 2, and polymer fibrids 3, e.g., cellulose acetate fibrids. The polyamide short fibers 2 are bonded to the glass macro fibers 1 by the melting fibrids 3, thus binding the mat into a unitary flexible filter element of high strength.
The filter element of the present invention can be generally made by (a) forming an aqueous slurry of glass fibers and polymer fibers, (b) filtering the aqueous slurry to form a non-woven mat, and (c) then heating the web for a short period of time to a temperature which is at or above the melting temperature of the polymeric fibrid. With cellulose acetate, good results are obtained by heating the dried web or pad in an oven set at about 525 to 575 degrees F. A mechanical device with more positive means of heat transfer than an oven will, of course, bond the sheet more rapidly and at a lower temperature. Once the sheet is heated to the melting temperature of the fibrid, the melting occurs almost instantaneously.
Useful filter elements can be prepared using a hand sheet mold or, for example, a Fourdrinier machine.
The filter element thickness is determined by the thickness of the web laid down on the wire. Filter porosity can be varied by varying the amount of glass micro fibers used in the filter. This is illustrated by the following prophetic examples.
A series of filter elements can be made from an aqueous slurry of glass macro fibers (6.5 microns, 0.25 inch long), glass fibers (about 0.6 microns) and a mixture of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) short fibers and cellulose acetate fibrids. The short fibers can be prepared, for example, by disintegrating a synthetic poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) paper in a Waring blender. All the ingredients can then be combined in the slurry and blended further.
The filter sheets can be made from the furnish by filtering the furnish on a 150 mesh wire. The wet pad can be couched with dry blotters, removed from the wire, and oven dried. The resultant pad can then be heat-bonded by placing in a convection oven at 550° F. for about 10 minutes. (If an efficient positive heat transfer means is employed, the heat-bonding may be substantially instantaneous.)
The following table exemplifies various proportions of the foregoing components (in percentage by weight) useful in preparing filter elements in accordance with the present invention.

A monopoly firm produces relatively less output for raising the price. It tries to maximize profit by selling less output at higher price. If the output is not produced according to the potential level, then a society would be worse off.
Lower output leads to an inefficient resource allocation. If the available resources are not optimally utilized to produce required goods and services, then it would lead to an undesirable outcome of the society.
An increase in the output is socially beneficial because if will lead to an efficient resource allocation. Thus, output should be produced more to achieve socially beneficial outcome.

Project Syndicate economists + Mohamed El-Erian
Analysis In defence of Yanis VaroufakisMohamed El-ErianIt is now fashionable to disparage the former Greek finance minister. For some he showed too little politesse, but the essence of his agenda remains largely correct
Mohamed El-Erian: There are four general guidelines to help managers adapt their business mindsets and models
Even the most stability obsessed countries have made unexpected economic moves, but barriers to growth remain largely unaddressed – and central banks cannot tackle them alone
Mohamed El-Erian: experts effectively bet on growth, intelligent governance and no accidents – but even the most optimistic gambler would scoff
Global economy – a year of divergence loomsMohamed El-ErianMajor players in world economy all have potential to grow at different speeds while taking divergent paths – policymakers should take note of the risks, writes Mohamed El-Erian
Mohamed El-Erian: The resurgence of the US currency could be the first promising step in steering the world economy away from crisis
Mohamed El-Erian: Why are investors ignoring disappointing growth and global geopolitical tensions?
Is this Mexico's chance to shine?Mohamed el-ErianMohamed el-Erian: Less than two years into Enrique Peña Nieto's presidency, Mexico is implementing an ambitious structural-reform package
The Federal Reserve: a lesson from Disney's FrozenMohamed El-ErianMohamed El-Erian: For many years market participants have been richly rewarded for falling in love with the new policy measures adopted by America's Federal Reserve
The democratic disruption of financeMohamed El-Erian
Mohamed A. El-Erian: Bitcoin is just one example of a process that will challenge regulators to adapt
Europe faces a difficult spring, but its to-do list is achievableMohamed El-Erian
Mohamed A El-Erian: Europe's economy is not well positioned to weather a further disorderly escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine
Lack of investment is stifling the global economyMohamed El-ErianMohamed El-Erian: If advanced economies are to prosper, it is necessary that the corporate sector's willingness to invest match its considerable wallet
America's reputation for sound economic policymaking takes a beatingMohamed El-ErianMohamed El-Erian: Now a related distorted narrative – one that in 2014 could needlessly undermine policies that are key to improving America's economic recovery – is gaining traction
Have we overestimated the power of the central banks?Mohamed El-ErianMohamed El-Erian: The more responsibilities central banks have acquired, the greater the expectations for what they can achieve
The Federal Reserve and Janet Yellen face a tough task with insufficient toolsMohamed A. El-ErianMohamed A. El-Erian: Arguments for the Fed's decision not to taper bond purchases may be sound, but this does not hide the difficulties it faces
Why the US monthly jobs data mattersMohamed El-ErianMohamed El-Erian: The headline figures of job creation and unemployment look positive, but hidden in the data lie more worrying signs
Economics blog Five years since Lehman's collapse the unthinkable has become realityMohamed el-ErianMohamed el-Erian: Our systems of governance have yet to properly address these previously unthinkable outcomes and their profound implications for current and future generations
Eurozone crisis is just on hold for the summerMohamed el-ErianMohamed el-Erian: Each day that passes complicates the design and implementation of lasting solutions to Europe's economic problems
Is Ireland right to stick with austerity?Mohamed el-ErianMohamed el-Erian: With dire problems after a lending binge, Ireland sits in the centre of the eurozone austerity debate, but has it taken the right route?
Currency war could cause lasting damage to world economyMohamed el-ErianMohamed el-Erian: In order for some currencies to depreciate, others must appreciate - here is where things get interesting, complex, and potentially dangerous
Fiscal cliff scramble illustrates inconvenient truthMohamed el-ErianWill messy politics drive bad economics in 2013? Will effective politicians boost growth? Or will the world just muddle through?
US fiscal cliff threat fails to galvanise policymakersMohamed el-Erian
Mohamed el-Erian: The complex fiscal situation in the US has just been complicated by the warning from ratings agency Moody's that it could lose its top credit rating next year
Mohamed el-Erian: What if members of the United States Congress, now returning from their summer recess, were to receive a letter from concerned citizens?
Mohamed el-Erian: In an ideal world Mitt Romney or Barack Obama would rapidly restore job dynamism and financial soundnes - but whoever wins has limited room to manoeuvre
Mohamed el-Erian:Robust US recovery requires a degree of seriousness and constructive collaboration in Washington that seems elusive
Mohamed el-Erian: The four main suspects will get off lightly, compared with the real victims, the most vulnerable segments of the Greek population
Economics blog How the world economy can solve its credit crisisMohamed el-ErianMohamed El-Erian: central banks have become bridges to nowhere – and now they are at risk of toppling over
Mohamed el-Erian: The world has turned upside down – 'rich' countries run deficits while 'poor' countries accumulate assets – triggering a crisis that has shaken the prevailing order to its foundations

Glow- The Bronzing StudioRead MoreThe bounty of hues to pick from—including cocoa, caramel, cappuccino, and mocha—make it hard to pick the most attractive skin-bronzing shade at Glow – The Bronzing Studio. In this tanning mecca, experienced airbrush artists shower skin with droplets of 100% organic tanning spray, which are tailored to the client's original skin tone and the timing of events such as weddings, photo shoots, and vacations on the surface of the sun. Tanning beds emanate UVA and UVB rays to cultivate color, and red-light-therapy pods swathe the body in crimson rays that may boost circulation and counteract stress, helping the body activate adenosine triphosphate, a naturally occurring compound that may help liberate energy from muscles.3 Red Pump RdBel Air, MD US

Just Gents BarbershopRead MoreParting Your Hair: For the Right Look, Choose the Left An important part of any hairstyle is knowing where to part it. Check out Groupon's guide to help you tell the stylist how you want to look. Beyond keeping hair out of your eyes or providing easy access to your brain's escape hatch, the way you part your hair can reflect how the world perceives you?and how you perceive yourself. How to part it depends largely on the shape of your face. Here are a few basic guidelines to finding the right method: Heart: With their wider cheekbones and glowing foreheads, heart-shaped faces radiate with either a side or diagonal part. However, if you have longer hair, a middle part may help to balance out your prominent cheeks. Square: The trick with a square-shaped face is to soften its features. A deep-side part or diagonal part allows hair to fall gently over any sharp angles, rounding them out. In this case, it?s best to begin the part right above the arch of one eyebrow. Circle: A slightly diagonal part that stretches from the middle of the forehead to the back of the hair lends a dramatic curtain effect to circle-shaped faces, enhancing and elongating the features on the side with the greater exposure. Oval: Oval-shaped faces have it toughest of all, since they're doomed to be able to pull off any look they want. The choices are virtually infinite. Part it down the middle or down either side. Don?t part it at all. Part it six times?the world is your oyster cracker. However, many stylists would recommend a middle part, since side parts already suit the shapes above. The decision of where to part the hair, however, isn't completely cosmetic. Some people theorize, for example, that a left part indicates someone with strong leadership skills. This theory earned some cred during the 2000 U.S. presidential election, when left-parting George W. Bush defeated right-parting Al Gore. Even comic books lend it some credence, as the unassuming Clark Kent switches his part from the right to the left when he becomes the all-powerful Superman. Still, it could be just a coincidence?many successful leaders part their hair on the right or not at all, and either way, the decision is not always up for debate; a cowlick, for instance, is nearly impossible to tame, often forcing you to adapt your style to suit it. Whichever part you choose, heed these words: even if the person you see in the mirror seems meek, the world may still see you as powerful. As posited in an episode of NPR's Radiolab, humans tend to favor the version of themselves they see in the mirror, but others will always see them as the opposite image. Our perception of ourselves is inherently flawed. Therefore, if you like the way your hair looks parted to the left, you may want to actually part it to the right, even?and perhaps especially?if it looks strange in the mirror.319 Fulford AveBel Air, MD US

The Land Sector Can Close Half the Dangerous Climate Change Gap
January 27th, 2015
Today we're releasing an important report on what the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases could do to reduce the global warming pollution released by their land sectors—that is, their agriculture and forests. It's called Halfway There? What the Land Sector Can Contribute to Closing the Emissions Gap.
We're Number One! – In What Our Land Can Do for the World's Climate
December 10th, 2014
You hear the phrase "we're number one!" from Americans fairly often, usually in relation to sports or politics. Now new research from the Union of Concerned Scientists shows that there's another domain where it applies. It's not as an assertion of superiority, and probably never will lead to a chant at the Olympics, the World Cup or even the UN climate negotiations. Rather, it's in terms of our potential to use our land sector – that is, agriculture and forests – to reduce our global warming pollution and avoid the worst consequences of climate change.
Why COP 20 Lima Matters to South American Countries

The Conference of Parties (COP20) currently being held in Lima is critically important for South American countries given their exposure to climate change impacts. Land surface changes, fossil fuel extraction, and sea level rise are key concerns for these countries. Read More
Amazon Deforestation in Brazil: New Numbers, Better Understanding
December 1st, 2014
The new annual data on Amazon deforestation in Brazil has just come out, and it's good news. For the latest year—August 2013 through July 2014—the annual total was 4,848 square kilometers. That's 18 percent less than in the previous year, and the second-lowest figure ever. Read More
McDonald's Palm Oil Commitment Fails on National Fast Food Day
November 14th, 2014
Hold on to your hats because this coming Sunday is a day for parties. The Internet tells me that three different holidays fall on Sunday, November 16. First, it's National Button Day which makes sense because who doesn't love buttons? It's also Have a Party with Your Bear Day. I'm thinking the best way to rejoice might be to listen to a classic childhood song. And lastly, it's National Fast Food Day. Read More
The Day After: What the Mid-Terms Mean and How To Move Forward
November 5th, 2014
While this morning's headlines naturally focus on the change in leadership in the U.S. Senate, nothing in the results should change anyone's mind on these clear truths: we know Americans trust science, support cutting global warming emissions, and want help for communities struggling with the very real consequences of climate change.

Bunge Jumps into Deforestation-Free Palm Oil with a Splash
October 29th, 2014
On Monday Bunge, an agribusiness and food ingredient company based out of White Plains, New York, indicated its intention to ensure the palm oil that it sources will be deforestation- and peat-free. Coming from one of the largest traders of palm oil in the world, Bunge's announcement is significant for what it means for both the world climate and for ecosystems at risk due to palm oil production. But to me it also signifies that the status quo—palm oil that is linked with deforestation and peatland destruction—is a sinking ship that is increasingly risky to stay aboard. Read More
Who'll Plant the Trees for Our Grandchildren to Use?
October 8th, 2014
Thinking about trees often makes you think about your grandchildren. Both start small, can live for many decades, and will grow old in a world very different from ours today. And they're connected. I expect that my granddaughter Esme, who just turned 1 ½, will probably live in a house made of wood, will write on paper, and perhaps will keep her house warm in the winter, as my wife and I do, with a wood stove. Have we thought about what trees that wood will come from? Read More
Hershey Bars, Global Warming and Deforestation: a Sweet New Policy
September 24th, 2014
As I rode on the train back to Washington today, The Hershey Company announced its strengthened commitment to zero deforestation for all the palm oil it uses. This is another of the welcome corporate statements, over the last several months and indeed the last few days, that have recognized business' responsibilities to reduce the damage that they cause to the climate.

LPG portability: Consumers can now switch their dealers

- VIDEO: Teased by bodyguard, Agra woman smashes SP leader's Mercedes
- Amid Delhi Chief Secy row, at least dozen govt officers ready to leave city
- Modi govt calls for 'fitting' commemoration of Rajiv Gandhi death anniversary
Cooking gas consumers can now change their dealers as the government has launched LPG portability scheme on the lines of mobile phone services.
However, unlike cellular services where consumers have the option to switch between different mobile companies, LPG consumers would have the limited option of changing only their dealers, not the oil company.
So, if you are a consumer of Indane gas from Indian Oil Corp (IOC), you now have an option to choose from Indane Gas dealers in the locality. But you cannot switch to Bharat Gas of Bharat Petroleum or HP Gas of Hindustan Petroleum.
"LPG distributor (dealer) portability is being launched today in Chandigarh and will be extended to at least 25 more districts in the next fiscal," Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily said.
The scheme would be extended all over the country in a phased manner.
"A pool of 2 to 3 dealers would be cleared for every locality in the district. Consumers will have the option of choosing from this cluster," Moily said.
A ministry official explained, meanwhile, that inter-company portability was not legally possible for the time being as the law provides for a LPG cylinder belonging to a particular company to be submitted to only that company for refills.
"We are looking at the possibility of changing law or creating a situation where the consumer returns the cylinder to that particular company before availing of a new connection from a different company," he said.
Moily announced launched new IT/web enabled initiative, 'Lakshya', to enable consumers book and track refills online as well on mobile phone.
Moily said LPG dealer protability has been launched to provide better services to 13.5 crore customers and end the monopolistic practices of the cooking gas distributors.
Like portability in mobile services, which allow customers to change service providers while retaining their number by paying a small one-time fee, portability of LPG connections allows customers to change their dealers.

Although most whole blood is collected using a citrate-based anticoagulant, knowledge of citrate's relevant non-anticoagulant effects is not widespread. Citrate's anticoagulant activity is achieved through chelation of divalent metal cations (e.g., magnesium, calcium), which may exacerbate cardiovascular and metabolic insults attributable to hemorrhage. Methods: Blood pressures, gas tensions, metabolites, and electrolytes; myocardial metabolites, pressures, and contractility; cardiac output; and left cranial descending and circumflex coronary artery flows were measured in 21 anesthetized dogs after hemorrhage was induced by collection of blood into a citrated reservoir to mean arterial pressure of 45 mm Hg for approximately 60 min (until arterial lactate concentration was 7.0 mmol/L), followed by a 1-h transfusion and 2 h of maintenance. Results: Arterial ionized calcium concentration, total peripheral resistance, and myocardial function decreased significantly during hemorrhage. All aforementioned responses but myocardial function continued to decrease during the initial 20 min of transfusion, then began to recover. Total peripheral resistance and end-systolic elastance were the only factors significantly related to calcium concentration. Conclusion: Transfusion with citrated whole blood may significantly alter calcium concentration, negatively affecting myocardial and vascular function.",

Insys Therapeutics weakness a buying opportunity, says JMP Securities
JMP Securities said Insys Therapeutics (INSY) is weak on concerns that Subsys may be added to Express Scripts' (ESRX) exclusion list in 2015. The analyst does not know if it will or not be added but said the potential impact would not be material to sales or growth because the product is not included in any PBM preferred formula positions and has prior authorization requirements. The analyst would use weakness as a buying opportunity and reiterates its Outperform rating and $65 price target.
