aflatoxin

 aflatoxin  how to detect? chemical paper test strip  UV  The aflatoxins all have absorption maxima around 360nm with a molar absorptivity of about 20,000: the B toxins are named for their blue fluorescence (425nm) and the G toxins for their green-blue fluorescence (450nm). The B1 toxin is the most common, flowed by B2 toxin, while the G toxins are fairly rare. The fluorescence sensitivity of the G toxins is more than 10 times greater than that for the B toxins. The minimum detectable level is about 100 pgrams for the G toxins and 1 ngram for the B toxins

HK suspends bioNTech jab 復必泰

  新冠肺炎疫苗注射二月底開始,港府今日(3月24日)宣布,今早收到復星實業(香港)有限公司書面通知,由於注意到與批號為210102的復必泰疫苗藥瓶封蓋有關的包裝瑕疵,因安全起見暫停注射以就包裝瑕疵問題的原因進行調查。現時本港為市民所注射的,是210102批次的復必泰疫苗,港府指,為謹慎起見,現階段在調查期間須即時暫停接種。  全港已有逾15萬人接種復必泰疫苗。陳漢儀說,當發現有復必泰疫苗包裝出現裂痕,注射鹽水稀釋時,懷疑壓力大導致噴出來,另外有報告是瓶蓋鬆脫、移位、瓶身有污跡、痕跡等情況,負責人員會隨即將相關疫苗棄置,從未使用過有問題的疫苗為市民接種。  上海復星醫藥(集團)股份有限公司發公告,表示已於今日(3月24)通知香港和澳門,相關主管部門暫停接種批號為210102的疫苗,發現少量供應香港和澳門的疫苗批號為210102產品西林瓶封蓋有瑕疵。 公司表示,今次是出於謹慎性考慮的決定,強調未有證據表明相關批次產品安全可能存在風險,亦將封存供應香港批號為210104的疫苗產品,不再發送至各接種點,直至另行通知,預計暫停疫苗使用並作封存,不會對集團的正常生產經營造成重大影響。 復星醫藥表示,本著對產品安全高度負責的態度,為確保疫苗的接種安全,BioNTech 與集團會調查原因。對於相關批次疫苗在香港和澳門後續接種安排可能存在影響,公司表示,具體會以調查結果為准,重申將密切關注有關進展,及時根據相關規定履行資訊披露義務。   the vaccine has to be go through a de-thawing process from a storage temperature of -70 deg c to room temperature. the vial is designed to withstand such temperature change. the air pressure inside the vial will be increased from - 70 to say 20 deg c. the rubber stopper should be able to withstand such increased air pressure, without the metal seal.

flair 58

As the flair 58 ( size of portafilter) has not yet released any physical dimensions, by estimating from photo dimension: 14L x 7.5W x 11.5H (lever down) 24.25H (lever up) the size is not too much bigger than original flair ( 46 mm portafilter), with similar height, but ~ 1 inch deeper. it also requires ~ 2 inch more (deeper) desk space. the (pivot to piston) to (pivot to handle) is increased from 9 to 12 times or more, and seems to require bigger up-down swing motion. It seems you need to use pushing force of both hands This time, it is using a portafilter with 58 mm basket, and needs external electric jacket to maintain the brew temperature. good news is that you can change it with your preferred basket or portafilter or shower screen or tamper. so this definitely limits the use-abilty: what happens you couldn't find electricity nearby, or when you travel, you will need to find a 110/220V electricity convertor.

聚乙二醇(PEG)and covid vaccine

 polyethylene glycol is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH.   PEGs are also used in everyday products such as toothpaste and shampoo as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture carriers, and they’ve been used as a laxative for decades. An increasing number of biopharmaceuticals include PEGylated compounds as well vaccine, COVID-19, allergic reaction The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) has updated their guidelines regarding the risk of allergic reactions following administration of the COVID-19 vaccine now include information on screenings, observation periods, and the option of forgoing the second dose following a documented allergic reaction from the first dose.

  臭蟲 世界上若有任何生物不可能是進化來的,那一定是放屁蟲(Bombardier Beetle)無疑,因為它需要上帝來創造它,和它所有運作完全的器官系統。人們研究這奇妙驚人的昆蟲已經有一段時日。1928年,C. L. Metcalf 和 R. L. Flint 兩位作者這樣說﹕ 「這放屁蟲,學名﹕龐巴迪甲蟲(Brachinus),能噴出辛辣的液體,排出時還發出清晰的爆破聲和一小片煙霧,看似從小型大砲所噴出的煙。」[i]之後,《時代雜誌》報導﹕ ……放屁甲蟲在動物界中似乎很獨特。它的防衛系統超常地錯綜複雜,好像催淚瓦斯,又像肚腹上長了一支槍。當這甲蟲意識到有危險,它就會攙和﹕在一個體腔內的酵,和在第二個體腔裏的無大害的化合物,過氧化氫(hydrogen peroxide)和對苯二酚(hydroquinones)的濃液。於是產生腐蝕性的苯醌(benzoquinone),華氏212度高溫的、有毒的噴霧,從它的身體爆炸出來。更甚的是,這液體從身體後邊兩個可旋轉的噴嘴噴出來,好像B-17槍的砲塔,以對準靶心般的準確度,擊中一隻饑餓的螞蟻或青蛙。[ii] 也許你會想知道進化論者怎樣解釋這一隻不可思議的昆蟲。進化論者Mark Isaak 說﹕ 放屁蟲是否看似設計產品?是的,它們看似進化程序所設計的。它們的特征、行為、和分佈,正適合進化過程所創造出來的樣式。沒有人在放屁蟲身上找到任何東西,和進化論不吻合。[iii] 進化過程沒思想、沒指引、沒目的、隨機遇的,它怎樣『創造』?猶太學者 Lee Spetner 博士說﹕ 新達爾文理論(neo-Darwinian theory)的一個基本特征就是隨機遇性。我們沒有已知的物理或化學機制,能產生可遺傳的改變、改進適應力、或增加生物的複雜性。故此,新達爾文主義者必須使用機遇來解釋所需的變化。這樣,他們希望,藉著物競天擇的可能方向,他們就能描繪一個進化過程,以解釋生命的自然出現和發展。 於是,新達爾文主義就排除了『非隨機性』作為變化的一個主要特征。[iv] 當進化論使用機遇來解釋放屁蟲的存在和複雜性時,它問題重重。它的特別化學物進化過程的每一步,都可能毀滅它。這隻一寸半長的放屁蟲,攪拌化學物,產生類似爆炸般的猛烈反應。它怎麼可能藉著進化過程得到一個這麼複雜的防衛辦法,而不在過程中毀滅自己?這個問題叫很多進化論團體摸不著頭腦。進化論說,你若不使

ARKTIKA-M1 satellite

  NSSDCA/COSPAR ID: 2021-016A 47719 Arktika-M 1 is the first of a new line of satellites designed to provide persistent weather data on Russia’s Arctic, home to economically lucrative natural resources, energy reserves, and an important region for Russian military operations. The Arktika-M satellites are built by NPO Lavochkin, the same Russian company that builds Fregat upper stages. The Arktika-M 1 satellite is based on the design of Russia’s Elektro-L weather satellites that fly in geostationary orbit over the equator. Weather observatories in geostationary orbit collect imagery 24 hours a day over the same part of the Earth, but they are unable to peer at weather systems over high latitude regions.

RD-120 vs YF-100, YF-130

 the Chinese have spent past 13 years( 1999 to 2014) replicating the RD-120 for the CZ-5 rocket family.  They use a LOx rich mix in the turbopump, which gives them their great performances, and that tend to set the metal parts on fire,. The RD-120 is closed cycle/staged as well, and should gained plenty of experience with LOx rich cycles YF-100 is derived from a modified Ukrainian RD-120 with elements from RD-120K engine version and is designated in Ukraine as KRD-120. KRD-120 is also the basis for developing the RD-870 for Tsyklon-4M and RD-872 is the second stage equivalent of the RD-120. The Commercial Agreement for YF-100 is filed in Ukraine and a redacted copy may be obtainable.   .... To reduce the time necessary for the engine to transition from ignition mode to full-thrust mode, a special hydraulic switch will be replaced with an electric valve. Its design will be based on a similar device developed at KB Yuzhnoe for the KRD-120 engine under a commercial agreement wit

long march CZ 9, 長征九號

   China's Super heavy-lift launch vehicle maiden flight 2025 ( 2030?) Long March 9, a 140 t (310,000 lb) to LEO capable rocket was proposed in 2018 by China, with plans to launch the rocket by 2028. The length of the Long March-9 will exceed 90 meters, and the rocket would have a core stage with a diameter of 10 meters. Long March 9 is expected to carry a payload of 140 tonnes into low-Earth orbit, with a capacity of 50 tonnes for Earth-Moon transfer orbit.   长征九号运载火箭(CZ-9)是中国航天科技集团自行研制的巨型登月火箭。其主要承担中国载人登月、火星科考取样返回、太阳系外圈行星探测等需要大运载能力的高难度任务。长征九号的近地轨道运载能力高达140吨,月球转移轨道运载能力达50吨。这和美国土星五号运载火箭差不多。长征九号预计长度达110米,起飞推力3000吨,能将120吨的航空器送入太空,将3~5人送至月球。 根据2016年深空探测学报的一篇《我国航天运输系统成就与展望》文章透露,长征九号是加速我国从航天大国向航空强国迈进的重要节点。长征九号为三级半构型,芯级最大直径10米级,有效载荷LEO运载能力140吨,GTO运载能力66吨,LTO运载能力50吨,MTO运载能力37吨。长征九号是完成深空探测、载人登月和登火、空间基础设施建设等任务的重要支撑,例如空间太阳能发电站,这将加速我国航天强国的建设步伐。长征九号采用“通用化、系列化、组合化”发展策略,三个构型的对应结构状态一致,可以模块化组合。还可以捆绑液体助推器,也可以捆绑固体助推器。 解放军报的消息显示,重型火箭先期关键技术攻关,主要内容为“一总三大”,“一总即重型火箭的总体技术和方案优化;三大即10米级大直径箭体结构的设计、制造和试验,480吨大
