Offshore Group Podcast Examines U.S.-Mexico Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement

Agreement between two North American neighbors benefits aerospace industry parts manufacturers and OEMs.

2012-11-29

TUCSON, AZ, November 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Tucson, Arizona -based Offshore Group recently dialogued with Alberto Gayou, the principal attorney at the Ciudad Juarez-headquartered Mexican law firm LexCorp Abogados, S.C. on the topic of the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement, or BASA, that exists between the United States and Mexico

During the course of the conversation, Gayou clearly explains the ways in which the accord will concretely affect the growth of the aerospace industry in Mexico for the next decade or more.

According to Gayou, "It (the BASA) is an accord that is of critical importance. It represents a basic understanding between the two governments to have their own authorities reciprocally recognize certification processes needed to deem manufactured aerospace parts "airworthy."

In concrete terms, the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement between the U.S. and Mexico will shorten the supply chain for companies manufacturing aerospace parts in Mexico, which will reduce the cost of goods sold to major aerospace OEMs such as Boeing and Airbus.

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

NIH study suggests immune system could play a central role in AMD

2012-11-28

Changes in how genes in the immune system function may result in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of visual impairment in older adults, based on preliminary research conducted by National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigators. "Our findings are epigenetic in nature, meaning that the underlying DNA is normal but gene expression has been modified, likely by environmental factors, in an adverse way," said Dr. Robert Nussenblatt, chief of the National Eye Institute (NEI) Laboratory of Immunology. Environmental factors associated with AMD include ...

Fish ear bones point to climate impacts

2012-11-28

Scientists believe that fish ear bones and their distinctive growth rings can offer clues to the likely impacts of climate change in aquatic environments. The earbones, or 'otoliths', help fish to detect movement and to orient themselves in the water. Otoliths set down annual growth rings that can be measured and counted to estimate the age and growth rates of fish. "Otoliths can form the basis of new techniques for modelling fish growth, productivity and distribution in future environments," said Dr John Morrongiello of CSIRO's Wealth from Oceans Flagship, lead author ...

4 is the 'magic' number

2012-11-28

According to psychological lore, when it comes to items of information the mind can cope with before confusion sets in, the "magic" number is seven. But a new analysis by a leading Australian professor of psychiatry challenges this long-held view, suggesting the number might actually be four. In 1956, American psychologist George Miller published a paper in the influential journal Psychological Review arguing the mind could cope with a maximum of only seven chunks of information. The paper, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two. Some Limits on Our Capacity ...

Biggest black hole blast discovered

2012-11-28

Quasars are the intensely luminous centres of distant galaxies that are powered by huge black holes. This new study has looked at one of these energetic objects – known as SDSS J1106+1939 – in great detail, using the X-shooter instrument on ESO's VLT at the Paranal Observatory in Chile [1]. Although black holes are noted for pulling material in, most quasars also accelerate some of the material around them and eject it at high speed. "We have discovered the most energetic quasar outflow known to date. The rate that energy is carried away by this huge mass of material ...

Potentially toxic flame retardants found in many US couches

2012-11-28

DURHAM, N.C. -- More than half of all couches tested in a Duke University-led study contained potentially toxic or untested chemical flame retardants that may pose risks to human health. Among the chemicals detected was "Tris," a chlorinated flame retardant that is considered a probable human carcinogen based on animal studies. "Tris was phased out from use in baby pajamas back in 1977 because of its health risks, but it still showed up in 41 percent of the couch foam samples we tested," said Heather Stapleton, associate professor of environmental chemistry at ...
