GROWing the next generation of water recycling plants
A vegetated rooftop recycling system has been developed that allows water to be used twice before it is flushed into the communal waste water system. GROW is the brainchild of Chris Shirley-Smith, whose company Wat...More recycling on the farm could reduce environmental problems
Growing environmental problems resulting from farming argue for a shift toward practices that use lower inputs of pesticides and energy and more recycling of energy and materials, according to an article published in the May 2007 issue of BioScience. The author, Craig J. Pearson of the University of Guelph, documents how semiclosed agricultural systems -- which he terms "regenerative" -- could en...Penn researchers link cell's protein recycling systems
Many age-related neurological diseases are associated with defective proteins accumulating in nerve cells, suggesting that the cell’s normal disposal mechanisms are not operating correctly. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered a molecular link between the cell’s two major pathways for breaking down proteins and have succeeded in using this link...ReBlot™ Western Blot Recycling Kit from Upstate
Description:...ReBlot Western Blot Recycling Kit - Trial from CHEMICON
Description:The CHEMICON Re-Blot Western Blot Recycling Kit is effective for removal of antibodies from Western blots that have been developed with chemiluminescence or radioactive iodine or other isotopes. It is not recommended for stripping colorimetric substrates (TMB, DAB, 4-chloronapthol, etc.), as it is not possible to effectively remove substrates that precipitate at the reaction site....UW-Madison step in ALS research; student business plans; tech recycling
UW-Madison researchers may be moving toward a treatment for ALS, a nerve-system disease, using stem cells. Also, students excel at the G. Steven Burrill Technology Business Plan Contest, and Madison offers a computer and television recycling program....Computer recycling: An environmental mandate the private sector can support
But what does your home look like? Are your closets or basements cluttered with...Graduating class includes biotech networkers; cell-phone recycling
Congratulations to this year's graduating class including 20 students in the Master of Science in Biotechnology program. They worked nights and weekends in this two-year professional program to build up diverse business skills. Also: need something to do with your old cell phone? Recycle it with the UW-Madison police department. <a href="/me...Watch Out! Pollution hazard from E-waste recycling in India & China
Recycling of e-waste has resulted in the release of toxic chemicals, including heavy metals, in the surrounding areas of recycling yards yielding reason for concern in India and China. // What is all the more alarming is that toxic chemicals are released during each stage of the recycling process into the workplace and in many cases into the surrounding environment. Concentrat...Recycling Boxes Are Too Heavy And Could Cause Injuries
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says that recycling boxes are unreasonably heavy and could injure anyone trying to lift them. In a new report, the HSE// said that any such injuries could trigger potential lawsuits. The containers, which are used by countless households in the country, could become too heavy when filled with a mixture of glass and paper. These boxes also exceed t...
