General motors has stated that they will have a driverless model ready for final testing by 2015, going on sale officially in 2018.

Even though car companies are making plans for the transition planning departments are not. Most local and regional transportation departments are working with models that assume 20 years from now transportation systems will be basically the same, with only slight variations around the edges.

In October 2011, Ford demonstrated three SYNC apps offering in-car health monitoring for drivers to track chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and hay fever.

The US Environmental protection agency (EPA) has agreed to set new rules governing emissions of mercury and other toxic chemicals from power plants by November 2011,

but the administration of former US President George w bush avoided this in part by creating a market-based system that would allow mercury emissions to continue at some plants

they are talking about apples and oranges and Porsches and whales and moons, he says.

An estimated 45-50 Â tonnes of mercury are used each year in Madre de dios to extract the prized gold,

Miners combine mercury with sediments that contain gold Â typically using their feet to mix them in a bucket

to boil off the mercury and leave gold behind. In March, Katy Ashe, a graduate student in environmental engineering at Stanford university in California, published the first study (K. Ashe PLOS ONE 7, e33305;

2012) to show the scale of the health threat from mercury in Madre de dios. She found that in mining zones,

elevated mercury levels were much more common in those who ate a lot of fish: 18%of people who ate 12 Â

or more fish meals each month had unhealthy mercury levels, in contrast to just 6%and 7%of low and moderate fish consumers, respectively.

such as the mota (Calophysus macropterus) and doncella (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum), had the highest levels of mercury.

Fernandez is now leading a project to conduct a more extensive survey of the levels of mercury in fish and humans.

Some march through Puerto Maldonado s main plaza shouting through megaphones that mercury is killing everyone,

Variations of the mercury-amalgamation technique have been used in gold mining for centuries, and it is difficult to dislodge such deep-rooted practices among artisanal miners.

and recovers about twice as much gold as does mercury amalgamation. But cyanide requires more careful handling than mercury

and few artisanal or small-scale miners have the necessary knowledge and skills. The more modern process of thiosulphate leaching might offer a nontoxic alternative,

To reduce miners exposure to mercury, non-governmental organizations have distributed retorts that can capture the toxic vapour.

and the Association for Integral Research and development in Lima have developed other mercury-free technologies for extracting gold.

and is no more expensive than mercury amalgamation. For now, he adds, miners are worried more about the government s demands for them to formalize their work,

and until the price of mercury goes up, or its use is banned, there is little incentive for them to change their practices.

For example, his"Utility MACT rule is aimed purportedly at reducing mercury pollution, yet the EPA estimates that the rule will cost $10 billion to reduce mercury pollution by only $6 million (with an"m). This has stopped not the President from trumpeting the rule as"cost-effective and"common sense,

while claiming it will"prevent thousands of premature deaths. The trick? Making the rule so expensive that it will bankrupt the coal industry,

He takes extended backpacking trips in the Sierras with his family and he tells his two kids:

The combination could be a boon for an auto industry under pressure to market consumer cars that use cheaper natural gas.

This becomes increasingly important as automakers think about powering cars with natural gas. Metal tanks that can handle natural gas under pressure are often much heavier than the automakers would like.

He said the material could help to solve longstanding problems in food packaging too. Remember when you were a kid you'd get a balloon

and compressed natural gas vehicles such as the Honda civic Natural gas. Although driving costs per mile will be lower especially for vehicles powered by natural gas

or electricity the high initial purchase cost is likely to be a significant barrier to widespread consumer acceptance the report says.

All the vehicles considered are and will continue to be several thousand dollars more expensive than today's conventional vehicles.

The beetles don't carry disease but their larvae feed on the ash trees'sap effectively killing the trees by depriving trees of their nourishment.

Baker and a postdoctoral fellow in his lab Michael J. Domingue were using dead female EABS for bait to trap the male beetles.

The two researchers working with a graduate student in Lakhtakia's lab Drew P. Pulsifer created a mold of the top of the female beetle's body.

The decoy beetle is made by a process of layering polymers with different refractive indexes to create the desired iridescence

and create a color similar to the beetle's own iridescent green. The researchers'findings are scheduled to be published in the April issue of the Journal of Bionic Engineering.

They also ran a pilot test in Hungary with a related beetle pest that bores into oak trees.

#Femme fatale emerald ash borer decoy lures, kills malesan international team of researchers has designed decoys that mimic female emerald ash borer beetles

Specifically we coated a dead female beetle with a vapor of nickel and used the'nickelized'shell to fabricate two matching molds in the shape of a resting beetle said Akhlesh Lakhtakia Charles Godfrey Binder professor of engineering science and mechanics

The finished bioreplicated decoys retained the surface texture of the beetle at the nanoscale. Additionally we painted some decoys a metallic green.

According to Domingue the light-scattering properties of the beetle's shell--which the team experimentally demonstrated using a white laser--made the nano-bioreplicated decoys more lifelike and therefore more attractive to males than the non-textured 3d printed decoy.

Beetles appear to be able to recognize this feature of the decoys and are attracted strongly to it.

thus enabling us to figure out how these destructive beetles find each other to mate and how we can exploit this behavior
