Spitzer, a process metallurgy professor at the Clausthal University of Technology in the German town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, says the key challenge was to develop a production process that brought all the elements together. his high strength steel cannot be cast by conventional continuous casting,
The resulting DWS (Diagnostic, Warning, Suggestions) system takes advantage of the accumulation of process data generated by modern furnace control systems.
The project started when Christof Schütte, NANOPOLY project coordinator and professor at the Freie Universität Berlin,
As the ACTINOGEN project coordinator, Professor Paul Dyson of the Institute of Life science at Swansea University in the UK explains,
'explains Professor Dyson.''The big question was whether this genetic information was just redundant, or whether it could be used to trigger the production of new antibiotic compounds.'
'says Professor Dyson. During the project, ACTINOGEN scientists successfully triggered the creation of new antibiotics using the cryptic pathways of a number of streptomycete species,
In the past, says Professor Dyson, achieving the necessary level of production took around 10 years. The ACTINOGEN Superhost allows the same result to be achieved within six months to one year.
The approval from the MHRA was described by the project's scientific co-ordinator, Professor Julian Ma of St george's, University of London,
"The conventional production systems referred to by Professor Ma use sophisticated stainless steel fermentation vats containing bacteria or mammalian cells.

college students indicated they d used an illicit drug in the preceding year that s up from 34 percent in the 2006 survey.
Daily marijuana use is now at the highest rate among college students in more than three decades.
Half (51 percent) of all full-time college students today have used an illicit drug at some time in their lives.
or more such drugs in just the 12 months preceding the survey The results are based on a nationally representative sample of some 1100 students enrolled full time in a 2-or 4-year college in spring 2013.
The survey is part of the long-term Monitoring the Future (MTF) study which also tracks substance use among the nation s secondary students
Marijuana has remained the most widely used illicit drug over the 34 years that MTF has tracked substance use by college students
In 2006 30 percent of the nation s college students said they used marijuana in the prior 12 months
This is the highest rate of daily use observed among college students since 1981 a third of a century ago says Lloyd Johnston the principal investigator of the MTF study.
In other words one in every 20 college students was smoking pot on a daily or near-daily basis in 2013 including one in every 11 males and one in every 34 females.
To put this into a longer-term perspective from 1990 to 1994 fewer than one in 50 college students used marijuana that frequently.
Nonmedical use of the amphetamine Adderall used by some students to stay awake and concentrate when preparing for tests
or trying to finish homework ranks second among the illicit drugs being used in college. Eleven percent of college students in 2013 or one in every nine indicated some Adderall use without medical supervision in the prior 12 months.
The use of psychostimulants including Adderall and Ritalin has doubled nearly since the low point in 2008 though there was no further increase in this measure between 2012 and 2013.
The next most frequently used illicit drugs by college students are ecstasy hallucinogens and narcotic drugs other than heroin with each of these three having about 5 percent of college students reporting any use in the prior 12 months.
Ecstasy use after declining considerably between 2002 and 2007 from 9. 2 percent annual prevalence to 2. 2 percent has made somewhat of a comeback on campus. It rose to 5. 8 percent using in the prior 12 months in 2012
Hallucinogen use among college students has remained at about 5 percent since 2007 following an earlier period of decline.
The use of narcotic drugs other than heroin like Vicodin and Oxycontin peaked in 2006 with 8. 8 percent of college students indicating any past-year use without medical supervision.
Past-year use of these dangerous drugs by college students has declined since to 5. 4 percent in 2012 where it remained in 2013.
and other shops ranked fairly high in 2011 with past-year use at more than 7 percent of college students that year.
since however to just over 2 percent in 2013 (secondary school students have shown a similar recent drop in their use of synthetic marijuana according to the Monitoring the Future annual surveys of middle and high school students).
since 2009 when it was added first to the study from 5. 8 percent of college students reporting use in the prior 12 months to just 1 percent in 2013.
The use of some other illicit drugs by college students also has declined in the past decade including crack cocaine powder cocaine tranquilizers and hallucinogens other than LSD
Another encouraging result is that a number of illicit drugs have been used in the prior 12 months by fewer than 1 percent of college students in 2013.
In general female college students (who are now in the majority) are less likely to use these drugs than are their male counterparts.
There remains plenty of alcohol use on the nation s college campuses with about three quarters (76 percent) of college students indicating drinking at least once in the past 12 months
Averaged across years 2005 to 2013 they find that one in eight (13 percent) college students had 10
and are at historic lows among high school students. The age peers of college students that is young adults who are also one to four years out of high school
but are not full-time college students have roughly equivalent proportions to college students in their past-year use of any illicit drug or any illicit drug other than marijuana.
They also have quite similar rates of several specific drugs including past-year use of marijuana ecstasy hallucinogens other than LSD and extreme binge drinking.
However they are twice as likely as college students to be daily marijuana users and they have annual prevalence rates of use for several particularly dangerous drugs that are roughly two to three times as high as rates found among college students.
These include crack cocaine crystal methamphetamine heroin and narcotic drugs other than heroin (including Oxycontin and Vicodin specifically).
what it is among college students but they have a somewhat lower rate of having been drunk in the prior 30 days (34 percent) than do college students (40 percent).
