Although RA 9003 contains various prescriptions and tools to improve material recovery and waste disposal, the management of electronic waste (EWM) was not integrated yet. However, electronic goods import and application steadily increases in the Philippines, whereas industrial, commercial and municipal sectors are not prepared for EWM yet. So far, a large portion of E-waste either ends up at local dumpsites or is recovered by the informal sector without needed knowledge and tools to dismantle electronic equipment in a proper manner. Consequently, valuable resources are lost during recovery, whereby the recovery process itself often results in health hazards for involved workers through fumes and particle emissions, or causes soil and air pollution due to burning of E-waste performed to recover metals in a perceived "...

A cohort of 32 patients, 12-18 years old, were evaluated between 1 and 5 years post-treatment for brain tumor during the patient's regularly scheduled follow-up clinic appointment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Self-Report questionnaire and the Parent-Report of the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC) were administered to the patient and to one of the patient's parents, respectively. In addition, the BASC Teacher-Report was completed by the patient's teacher. Descriptive statistics were generated; binomial distribution analyses were carried out to assess whether the proportion of individuals with impaired performance on each measure exceeded normative expectations. Comparison of the proportion of patients with elevated scores to normative expectations indicated no excess ...

An organism primarily isolated from soil, identified as Bacillus cereus NK1 was found to secrete an extracellular protease and the enzyme was identified to degrade fibrin. Response ...
