Aerospace Manufacturing in Mexico is the Subject of Offshore Group Podcast
2011-07-12
TUCSON, AZ, July 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Carlos Bello, executive director of the Mexican Federation of Aerospace Industries, recently sat down with The Offshore Group to discuss the current state of affairs in Mexico's rapidly developing aerospace sector.

During the session, Bello informed that Mexico is currently home to 232 aerospace and aerospace industry related companies that employ a combined 29,000 workers. According to Bello, "In recent years, aerospace manufacturing in Mexico has been "experiencing a growth rate of about 20% annually, with the exception of 2009, which was a difficult year for the aerospace industry worldwide. However in 2010, the industry started to recover, and continues to make forward strides to date." He also explained that although sixteen Mexican states are home to aerospace manufacturing firms, the lion's share of the activity in the sector occurs in five entities: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon and Queretaro.

In the podcast Bello asserted that "while aerospace manufacturing in Mexico today is characterized by the production of specialized and non-specialized wire harnesses and cable assemblies, fuselage aerostructures, landing gears, engine parts and turbines, and composite structures, steadily improving links between academia and industry are creating an engineering workforce that will enable Mexico to move up the aerospace industry value chain over time."

Individuals that are interested in listening to the discussion in its entirety can access it on The Offshore Group's Mexico outsourcing podcast page. Additional Mexico business and industry information can be accessed by subscribing to Offshore Group RSS Feeds.

EARTH: Is there really a minerals crisis?

2011-07-12
Alexandria, VA – China sent the high-tech industry and markets reeling last fall when it blocked exports of raw rare earth minerals to Japan, Europe and the U.S. The sudden severing of rare earths supply was a frightening prospect as the minerals are key ingredients in a broad range of high-tech products, from smartphones to wind turbines and hybrid cars. Although the bans have since been lifted, governments around the world saw the ban as a kind of wake-up call and started looking at ways to develop their own mineral resources — for rare earths as well as basic industry ...

Is a little negativity the best marketing policy?

Is a little negativity the best marketing policy?
2011-07-12
Tel Aviv — Most marketing departments work hard to establish a flawless reputation for their product or service. But new research from Tel Aviv University is showing that perfection is not all it's cracked up to be. Dr. Danit Ein-Gar of Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Management at the Leon Recanati Graduate School of Business Administration, working in collaboration with Baba Shiv and Zakary Tormala from Stanford University, has uncovered the "blemishing effect," a counterintuitive benefit of negative information. When utilized in the right way, she says, a small flaw ...

New study highlights what works in osteoporosis treatment

2011-07-12
TORONTO, Ont., July 11, 2011—More patients are tested and treated for osteoporosis when fracture clinics have someone dedicated to screening for the bone disease, a new study has found. Those patients also do better when the clinic actually provides bone mineral density (BMD) testing or prescription drug treatment as part of its program rather than just referring fracture patients elsewhere. Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital led by Joanna Sale, a clinical epidemiologist, reviewed osteoporosis screening and management programs involving patients treated for fragility ...

All-cause mortality rates are lower among moderate drinkers than among abstainers

2011-07-12
The author of this paper set out to determine the extent to which potential "errors" in many early epidemiologic studies led to erroneous conclusions about an inverse association between moderate drinking and coronary heart disease (CHD). His analysis is based on prospective data for more than 124,000 persons interviewed in the U.S. National Health Interview Surveys of 1997 through 2000 and avoids the pitfalls of some earlier studies. He concludes that the so-called "errors" have not led to erroneous results, and that there is a strong protective effect of moderate drinking ...

MU psychology study finds key early skills for later math learning
2011-07-12
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Psychologists at the University of Missouri have identified the beginning of first grade math skills that teachers and parents should target to effectively improve children's later math learning. A long-term psychology study indicates that beginning first graders that understand numbers, the quantities those numbers represent, and low-level arithmetic will have better success in learning mathematics through the end of fifth grade, and other studies suggest throughout the rest of their lives. "Math is critical for success in many fields, and the United ...

Research shows 'BPA-free' bottles live up to manufacturers' claims

2011-07-12
CINCINNATI—The alarm caused by bisphenol A (BPA) presence in reusable plastic bottles resulted in a recent industry change, producing products made with supposed BPA-free materials. Prompted by requests and concern from consumers, University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers wanted to see if these alternatives—including products made with stainless steel and coated aluminum—were truly giving the consumer an option free of BPA. In a study reported in the July 8, 2011 advance online edition of the journal Chemosphere, Scott Belcher, PhD, associate professor in the pharmacology ...
