Mexican Aerospace Industry is Viewed from a European Perspective in Offshore Group Podcast

Companies like Airbus, Aerrnova and the Safran Group give Mexico's aerospace industry a boost.

2012-10-17

TUCSON, AZ, October 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) The latest in a continuing series of Offshore Group podcasts on topics related to manufacturing in Mexico examines the Mexican aerospace industry from a European perspective.

Jean Claude Bouche, a dual Mexican and French citizen currently working to develop connections between the Mexican aerospace industry and the aerospace cluster of Toulouse, France, recently sat down to share his experiences and insights in a discussion centered on the subject of linkages between the Mexican and European aerospace industries.

Throughout the approximately thirty minute-long interview, Bouche points out that, over the last decade, Mexico has not only strengthened its aerospace ties and capabilities within North America, but also is becoming increasingly tied to some of Europe's major industry players.

Among the actions taken by European aerospace manufacturers that will have a long-term positive impact on the development of Mexico's aerospace industry include: The recent decision of Airbus to locate its first non-European manufacturing plant in the State of Alabama. This will cause its European supply chain to look toward Mexico as a possible base for North American manufacturing operations; another important and impacting factor has been the decision of prime contractors such as Eurocopter and the Safran Group to establish an increasing number of production facilities in Mexico.

Bouche believes that at some point all the necessary links in the supply chain will be in place that will enable an entire airplane to be built in and flown out of Mexico, but it is his opinion that achieving this goal will take some time.

The podcast in its entirety can be listened to on The Offshore Group's manufacturing in Mexico website.

The Offshore Group is the largest provider of outsourced business support, "shelter" services in Mexico. Currently 61 businesses operate at The Offshore Group's three Mexico manufacturing industrial parks in the State of Sonora, the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, and at the Group's Vangtel affiliate in Hermosillo, Sonora. Vangtel offers Mexico shelter services to companies that occupy the call center, IT development and BPO markets, while the International Logistic Solutions Company (ILS) is a leading provider of supply chain services. The Offshore Group has recently initiated operations in Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara. Sign up to receive Offshore Group RSS Feeds.

NYU study finds that fathers matter when it comes to their teenager's sexual behavior

2012-10-16

A new study by New York University professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that fathers' parenting behavior influences the sexual behavior of their adolescent children. However, to date most parent-based research on adolescent sexual risk behavior has neglected the role of fathers, a missed opportunity to contribute to their adolescent children's health and well-being. While it is well-established that parenting is closely linked with a teenager's sexual health and reproductive outcomes, it is mothers ...

Physicists crack another piece of the glass puzzle

2012-10-16

When it comes to physics, glass lacks transparency. No one has been able to see what's happening at the molecular level as a super-cooled liquid approaches the glass state – until now. Emory University physicists have made a movie of particle motion during this mysterious transition. Their findings, showing how the rotation of the particles becomes decoupled from their movement through space, are being published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences. "Cooling a glass from a liquid into a highly viscous state fundamentally changes the nature of ...

UCLA researchers reveal how 'cleaving' protein drives tumor growth in prostate, other cancers

2012-10-16

Researchers led by Tanya Stoyanova and Dr. Owen Witte of UCLA's Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have determined how a protein known as Trop2 drives the growth of tumor cells in prostate and other epithelial cancers. This discovery is important because it may prove essential for creating new therapies that stop the growth of cancer, the researchers said. The study is featured on the cover of the Oct. 15 issue of the journal Genes and Development. The Trop2 protein is expressed on the surface of many types of epithelial ...

Young people driving epidemic of prescription drug abuse

2012-10-16

DENVER (Oct. 16, 2012) – A new study by the University of Colorado Denver reveals that today's adolescents are abusing prescription pain medications like vicodin, valium and oxycontin at a rate 40 percent higher than previous generations. That makes it the second most common form of illegal drug use in the U.S. after marijuana, according to Richard Miech, Ph.D., lead author of the study and professor of sociology at CU Denver. "Prescription drug use is the next big epidemic," Miech said. "Everyone in this field has recognized that there is a big increase in the abuse ...

Evidence does not support 3-strikes law as crime deterrent

2012-10-16

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Contrary to what police, politicians and the public believe about the effectiveness of California's three-strikes law, research by a University of California, Riverside criminologist has found that the get-tough-on-criminals policy voters approved in 1994 has done nothing to reduce the crime rate. In a rigorous analysis of crime in California and the nation, sociology professor Robert Nash Parker determined that crime has been decreasing at about the same rate in every state for 20 years, regardless of whether three-strikes policies are in place or ...

New radiation treatment significantly increases survival rate

2012-10-16

Arlington, Va. — A novel drug that mimics a naturally occurring molecule found in coffee and blueberries has been developed to treat radiation exposure. Charles R. Yates, Pharm.D., Ph.D., and colleagues Duane Miller, Ph.D., and Waleed Gaber, Ph.D., from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Baylor College of Medicine, show that application of this drug, starting 24 hours after radiation exposure, increases survival in animal models by three-fold compared to placebo. Their work, which is funded through an NIH grant from the National Institute for Allergy ...

This research is being presented at the 2012 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Annual Meeting and Exposition, the world's largest pharmaceutical sciences meeting, in Chicago, Ill., on Oct. 14 – 18. Lead researcher Jason McConville, Ph.D., and colleagues from University of Texas at Austin, designed the strip for controlled delivery of a local anesthetic, benzocaine, and ...

Great apes, small numbers

2012-10-16

Sumatran orangutans have undergone a substantial recent population decline, according to a new genetic study, but the same research revealed the existence of critical corridors for dispersal migrations that, if protected, can help maintain genetic diversity and aid in the species' conservation. One of two species of orangutans, the Sumatran orangutan is classified as "critically endangered" by the IUCN Red List. Once widespread on the island of Sumatra, only an estimated 6,600 individuals remain, restricted to small forest patches on the northern tip of the island. Recent ...

Novel insights into the physical basis of sickle cell disease could lead to better treatments

2012-10-16

Sickle cell disease—the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States—causes red blood cells to distort into a crescent shape and block small blood vessels. New insights into how these abnormal cells disrupt circulation could lead to more effective treatment strategies, as revealed by a study published by Cell Press in the October 17th issue of Biophysical Journal. "Sickle cell disease entails a central mechanical component, since the circulation gets blocked," explains senior study author Frank Ferrone of Drexel University. "We now finally understand how ...

Prion protein hints at role in aiding learning and memory

2012-10-16

Scientists from the University of Leeds have found that the protein called prion helps our brains to absorb zinc, which is believed to be crucial to our ability to learn and the wellbeing of our memory. The findings published today (Tuesday 16 October) in Nature Communications show that prion protein regulates the amount of zinc in the brain by helping cells absorb it through channels in the cell surface. It is already known that high levels of zinc between brain cells are linked with diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Professor Nigel Hooper from the University's ...
