BAY SHORE, NY, August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Bright Bay Mazda is excited to announce that Mazda has developed an industry-first recycling technology that takes old bumpers from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and recycles them into raw materials for new car bumpers. The innovative technology by Mazda is a major step in reducing waste and building greener vehicles.
Mazda's new recycling process is known as thermal recycling. Mazda breaks down the old bumpers into a residue which then gets thrown into an incinerator to recollect the heat energy. The recycled plastic is projected to be 10% of the new bumper.
Mazda's philosophy of fuel efficiency without reducing performance has been a constant guide through the development of Mazda vehicles. Mazda also places a major emphasis on parts that build the car aside from the engine. By using resources better, Mazda can have greener vehicles on two levels, fuel efficiency and material efficiency.
Bumpers are a major car part that uses plastic in Mazda vehicles so finding a way to minimize plastic use was a goal of Mazda's. They began the steps to a new bumper recycling process way back in 1992. In 1992, Mazda began collecting damaged bumpers and recycled them to be used for the undercovers of Mazda cars.
Mazda then moved to a new system in the early 2000's that could strip the paint of old bumpers and developed a plastic recycling process that made the plastic just as strong as the new plastic. Mazda then would take the recycled plastic and use it to reinforce new bumpers.
Because of Mazda's early efforts in recycling bumpers and discovering issues with paint and the removal of metal from the bumpers, Mazda improved bumpers in new cars to make it easier to recycle them in the future. Mazda has seen a significant improvement in ease of recycling the bumpers because of the changes to bumpers through the years. Now Mazda can proudly say that they are the first to develop an automated bumper recycling process that uses old bumpers for new bumper material.
Mazda stays committed to developing the most-advanced technology to improve fuel and material efficiency.

Scientists create natural Alzheimer's-fighting compound in lab
2011-08-27
Scientists at Yale University have developed the first practical method to create a compound called huperzine A in the lab. The compound, which occurs naturally in a species of moss found in China, is an enzyme inhibitor that has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease in China since the late 1990s and is sold in the U.S. as a dietary supplement to help maintain memory. Scientists believe it could also potentially combat the effects of chemical warfare agents.
Until now, researchers have only been able to derive small amounts of the compound directly from the Huperzia ...

Unmarried Fathers Have the Same Rights as Mothers
Unwed fathers have the same constitutional rights as unwed mothers to establish a relationship with his child. However, in order to receive the same rights, the unwed father must first show the state he is the biological father. While state laws vary, generally a man is only presumed to be the father at birth under the following circumstances:
-The child is born during marriage to the child's mother
-He is required to support the child by law
-He has signed a declaration of paternity
Additionally, the father's ...
Yale researchers use genetic code to engineer a living protein
2011-08-27
Yale University researchers have successfully re-engineered the protein-making machinery in bacteria, a technical tour de force that promises to revolutionize the study and treatment of a variety of diseases.
"Essentially, we have expanded the genetic code of E. coli, which allows us synthesize special forms of proteins that can mimic natural or disease states," said Jesse Rinehart of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology and co-corresponding author of the research published in the August 26 issue of the journal Science.
Since the structure of DNA was revealed ...
Slim down by targeting the hormone uroguanylin
2011-08-27
The number of people who are obese and suffer one or more of its associated health problems (including type 2 diabetes) is escalating dramatically. Researchers are seeking to identify new targets for therapeutics that could limit appetite and thereby obesity. A team of researchers, led by Scott Waldman, at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, has now uncovered one such potential target by studying the molecular control of appetite in mice.
In the study, Waldman and colleagues found that nutrient intake by mice caused cells in their gut to secrete the precursor of ...

The "Best Interest" of the Child Determines Custody in Divorce
Courts Have Broad Discretion to Decide a Child's Best Interest
Often the biggest concern for parents going through a divorce is who will obtain custody of minor children. It can also be one of the most hotly contested issues in a divorce. In all states, custody is determined by what a judge determines is in a child's best interest.
States vary in their definitions of what the "best interest" means. Generally, however, state laws allow judges to have fairly broad discretion in what ...
Linking Parkinson's disease and fat levels in the blood
2011-08-27
Parkinson disease (PD) is a relatively common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1-2% of the world's population over the age of 65 years. About 5-10% of PD cases are inherited, and mutations in the Parkin gene are a common cause of familial PD. Michael Sack and colleagues, at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, have now identified a new function for the protein templated by the Parkin gene, it regulates fat uptake from the blood by liver cells and thereby fat levels in the blood. Furthermore, they determine that it does this by regulating the level of expression ...
State Pushes Zero Tolerance for Underage Drinking and Driving Offenses

State Pushes Zero Tolerance for Underage Drinking and Driving Offenses
July 14th, 2011, marked the 17th anniversary of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which required all states to pass legislation setting 21 years old as the minimum age to drink or purchase alcohol. States that did not comply faced a 10 percent penalty in their federal highway funding.
The law was enacted as a measure to combat the problem of underage drinking and associated traffic fatalities. In 2007, nearly 31 percent of teen drivers killed in highway crashes had been drinking, and ...

Protein linked to Parkinson's disease may regulate fat metabolism
2011-08-27
National Institutes of Health researchers have found that Parkin, an important protein linked with some cases of early-onset Parkinson's disease, regulates how cells in our bodies take up and process dietary fats.
Parkinson's disease is a complex, progressive, and currently incurable neurological disorder characterized by shaking, stiffness, slowed movement, and impaired balance. Parkinson's primarily affects people over 50, but in about 5 to10 percent of cases it occurs in people as young as their 20s. This form of the disease, which affects actor, author, and Parkinson's ...
