Let’s take a look first, where everyone went in the previous holiday. For example, the hottest city during the May Day holiday is not the super metropolises such as Beijing and Shanghai, nor the vicissitudes of Dali and Lijiang, but a humid, hot, and full of city fireworks—Changsha.

At the May 1st meeting, the average price of air tickets to Changsha as a destination was as high as more than 900 yuan, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of people from all over the country to go to Changsha. Train tickets are even harder to find: on May 1st, there were more than 100 high-speed trains from Guangzhou to Changsha. However, the tickets were all sold out before the holiday. This even makes the local people of Changsha puzzled: Why do people all over the country like us in Changsha so much?

Have you ever wondered when did Changsha start from “Miss Ma from Malan Mountain, Malanpo, Malan Town, and Malan Village” to the Internet celebrity city where even the police station has to check in now? Today we are going to take a look at the road to popularity of the Internet celebrity Changsha.

As before, we have prepared a transcript, but the video is more lively and lively.

Hidden Entertainment Gene

Changsha is hardly a newcomer. As long as you think about it for a moment, you will find that this city is a veteran player who debuted for many years, thanks to the important landmark of Changsha in the national TV network-Hunan Radio and Television. “Happy Camp”, “Everyday Upward”, this classic family carnival show, has long become a veteran TV variety show that accompanies generation after generation to grow up; in the past two years, the hottest shows: “Star Detective”, “Yearing “Life” and “Sister Riding the Wind and Waves” are also produced by Hunan Radio and Television. Hunan Radio and Television is located in Malan Mountain in Changsha. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu stationed soldiers and raised horses here during the “War in Changsha”, hence the name “Malan Mountain”. In the late 1990s, Hunan Radio and Television moved here. After more than 20 years of intensive cultivation, a “Radio and Television Hunan Army” has been trained, and “Malan Mountain” has gradually become synonymous with Hunan Radio and Television from the place where Guan Gong raises horses. Long before Changsha completely became an Internet celebrity, the city has always been a crowded city. In addition to airports in Beijing and Shanghai, Changsha Huanghua International Airport is perhaps the easiest place to see celebrities in China. The most indispensable thing here is the standing sisters and fans who raised their hands and long guns to pick up the idols. After going to Malanshan to watch the recordings of the idols, the young people who came to this city would always rush to the city. Jiefang West’s bar street, check in with the fireworks at Juzizhoutou, and get lost in the countless delicacies in Changsha… Hunan rice noodles, stinky tofu, sugar-oiled rice noodles, flavored shrimps, fried rice bowls, milk tea, these familiar Changsha Snacks are naturally loved by locals, and they have also attracted countless foreign tourists. Pozi Street, Taiping Old Street, Huangxing Pedestrian Street, etc. are all food districts that foreign tourists must check in. Food culture can be said to be another golden sign of Changsha. Something about Changsha cuisine is like this: In Changsha, every time a rice noodle shop closes, another rice noodle shop opens; the crayfish and shrimp shells eaten every year can be piled into a Yuelu Mountain… Xiaoji went to Xiamen At that time, I found that Zengcuo’an Old Street reads “Mom commented on a must-eat street”; If so, Changsha would be a “must eat city”. In fact, whether it is Hunan Radio and Television or food culture, the cultural and entertainment industry has always been the background color of Changsha for so many years. Compared with provincial capitals such as Wuhan and Xi’an, Changsha has an underdeveloped manufacturing base, and its geographical location is deep in the hills of the central-south hinterland. To the south is not as good as Guangzhou, which is near the sea and adjacent to the special economic zone, and to the north is not as good as the “Nine Provinces” Wuhan; and the Wenxi fire in 1938 almost burned out all the historical sites and scenic spots in Changsha, and the tourism resources were also dimmed. Therefore, vigorously developing the tertiary industry, including culture and entertainment, has also become the best choice for Hunan Province. It is precisely because of the above that Changsha’s profound cultural and entertainment heritage has been created; The fan economy and food culture have also become the unique soil that nourishes it to become an internet celebrity check-in city. Internet celebrity elements flourish If Changsha in the past was a powerful old drama player, then in the past two years, Changsha has become the top tourist city in the past two years. The “Life Consumption Report for the 2020 November Holiday” released by Meituan in October last year stated: During the Golden Week of November, it is hard to find a cup of tea and a cup of tea, and it is difficult to order a table of super writers and friends. How popular are these two stores? During the November of last year, Chayanyuese’s orders exceeded 1.1 billion, Wenheyou ranked 40,000, and waited for 20,000…This is a level that makes people suspect that all Chinese people have come to Changsha. Let’s first talk about tea beauty. You may have never been to Changsha, but you must have never heard of Cha Yan Yue Se. Cha Yan Yue Se is a milk tea shop that focuses on the national style, and now it has become a business card in Changsha. With its unique tea taste, cheap prices, classically beautiful cultural core, and the story of trying to make money and defeating cottages, Tea Yanyue Se has swept the whole milk tea industry in Shaanxi and even the whole country. At present, there are more than 270 directly-operated stores in Changsha, which are nicknamed that they have achieved “Ten Steps and One Tea Beauty”. Too many tourists fly far away and come by high-speed train just to drink a cup of tea to make them look good. On Xianyu, it even gave birth to a business of drinking tea and drinking on your behalf, going to Changsha for you and drinking milk tea on your behalf. Another famous food check-in place in Changsha is Super Wenheyou. In the first half of 2018, Hunan Wenheyou Cultural Industry Development Group opened a nearly 5,000-square-meter “Super Wenheyou” in Hisense Plaza, Changsha. This new commercial form embedded in a corner of a modern shopping mall has reconstructed Changsha. City life in the 1980s. Grain shops, department stores, mail boxes, grocery stores, barber shops, bathhouses, as well as exposed red bricks, rough cast iron, iron-clad wooden doors, steaming snack bars at the corners…Visitors can walk in the retro-style alleys Eat stinky tofu and peel crayfish in it. With this kind of human fireworks, Wen Heyou is firmly at the forefront of the check-in list of Changsha tourists. The influence of influencers in Changsha over the past two years is also inseparable from various social apps: open a social software and search Changsha, and you can see all kinds of fashion-dressed hot girls, punching photos in Juzizhoutou. In the past two years, in addition to food and drink brands, red check-in locations have also become a major selling point in Changsha. With the rapid increase in the recognition of red culture among young people, young people have gradually become the core consumer group of red tourism.The report released by Tongcheng Travel “2021 Ching Ming Festival and “May 1st” Holiday Red Tourism Report”It shows that the “post-00s” and “post-90s” who are 21 to 30 years old account for more than 40% of the core population of red tourism.Therefore, the red check-in area has become a major selling point of Changsha.This year’s Ching Ming Festival, Changsha received 675,519 tourists in three days, making it one of the top ten national red tourism destinations during the Ching Ming holiday in 2021. On May 1 this year, the 102 A-level scenic spots included in Hunan Province’s monitoring received 1.353 million tourists. The first and second most popular scenic spots are the two red scenic spots, Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area and Orange Island Scenic Area. Today, Changsha has 93 red tourism resources, including 26 footprints of great men, 22 former residences of celebrities, 26 hot spots for workers and peasants, and 19 memorial sites for revolutionary martyrs. It is a red history museum without walls. This year is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. Under the influence of the rising discussion of film and television works such as “Awakening Age” and “1921”, I believe that Changsha can still be “red” for a longer time with the “cradle of revolution, hometown of leaders”. The situation that arises at the historic moment It is said that Xiaohong relies on holding, and Dahong relies on fate. Even though Changsha has strong strength and good resources, to reach the top, one cannot fail to say a word of time and luck. According to the “White Paper on Vacation and Residence in China” issued by Sohu Focus Research Institute on May 31 this year, before the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, tourism resources with distinctive characteristics, far away from urban agglomerations or central cities, such as provinces such as Yunnan and Guizhou , The travel demand is relatively strong, and the tourism market performs relatively well. After the outbreak of the epidemic, short-distance travel around urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas prevailed. This is the result of the epidemic restricting long-distance travel and the forced travel demand to the suburbs or short distances. It is not difficult to understand why Changsha, a city suitable for three-day excursions, has consistently become the first choice in the hearts of tourists. Moreover, the transportation in Changsha is too convenient. Although the flight density of Changsha is not as good as that of Wuhan and Chongqing, it is located at the intersection of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed rail, Shanghai-Kunming high-speed rail and Chongqing-Xiamen high-speed rail. Changsha is already the largest national high-speed rail hub city in central China, and its railway radiation capacity is too strong. In such a Shanghai-Hong Kong-Chongqing triangle economic circle, Changsha has great advantages in terms of geographical location and traffic conditions. In fact, when the “lying flat culture” prevails, young people are starting to want to settle in Changsha while eating, drinking, playing and having fun in Changsha. One of the very important points is that the wages in Changsha are not low, but the housing prices are not high. According to the data released by Zhaolian Recruitment, the average salary of Changsha during the summer of 2020 will reach 8,299 yuan/month, ranking 15th among the 38 major cities in the country. This is not very prominent, but compared with provincial capitals of the same level, the housing prices in Changsha are very stable. The data shows that an ordinary family in Changsha can afford a house of 100 square meters after 6.4 years of work. This is a fatal temptation for young people who are looking for a house and sighing at the moment. Compared with the big cities starting with 996 and 007 at every turn, Changsha has a food, drink, and nightlife comparable to first-tier cities. Education and medical resources are not inferior. Solving housing problems is not as difficult as in big cities. Isn’t that popular? Some time ago, a friend of Xiao Ji shared his experience in Changsha: “It’s almost 1 am on the way to the hotel. The driver also said: If you are not sleepy, you can go for a supper. Now the nightlife in Changsha has just begun… …” Foreign tourists who have not been to Changsha may have a hard time thinking that when other cities move towards the quiet midnight, Changsha’s nightlife has just begun. What’s even more exaggerated is that it was 3 a.m. after this friend came out after supper, and he looked up and found that there were more people on the street than 1 a.m…. Some people say that Changsha is a “entertainment to death” city; but if it can really bring people endless happiness, for young people living in the cracks of the current various pressures, this is the dream and reality. Where it meets. *Reference materials: It is said that it is the most popular city this year, I am not surprised_Changsha https://www.sohu.com/a/427577459_260616 Exclusive Research Report | White Paper on Chinese Vacation and Residence: Over 70% of tourists prefer short-term outings, and renting a homestay is the most popular_Property News_房天下https://news.fang.com/open/40094840.html Long-term cooling, short-distance and fiery Dragon Boat Festival competition begins CAIJING.COM.CN http://industry.caijing.com.cn/20210531/4769296.shtml Ctrip and Google report: What are the opportunities in the travel industry in the post-epidemic era? -TravelDaily https://www.traveldaily.cn/article/139994 The rise of the Internet celebrity Changsha https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1654943332563748235&wfr=spider&for=pc The mystery of Internet celebrity Changsha’s traffic http://finance.sina.com.cn/tech/csj/2021-05-18/doc-ikmyaawc5937267.shtml

Fight against Corona What speaks for and against child vaccinations

Status: 06/22/2021 8:57 a.m.

The debate about whether children should be vaccinated against Corona is in full swing. Companies are pressing ahead with their studies for the approval of a vaccine for young children as well. What is the current state of research?

From Axel John, SWR

Just a few steps from the magnificent Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin is the rather inconspicuous Hausvogteiplatz. But what is sensational is what happens there in a sober office building. The Association of Research-Based Drug Manufacturers (VfA) has its headquarters here. The experts maintain contact with pharmaceutical companies all over the world – also when it comes to corona vaccine research, which is still under high pressure.

Particularly strict requirements for tests with minors

A team of specialists is constantly collecting the latest data from all over the world. Rolf Hömke is also there. The biochemist is an expert in research and drug safety. “When developing a new drug, it is standard that the preparation is initially only tested on adults. If these results are correspondingly good, studies with minors follow.” However, a prerequisite is a medical benefit in children and adolescents. Hömke gives an example: “A new antibiotic, for example, is also needed for children – but a preparation against prostate cancer is not.” Even higher requirements would apply to the tests in order to avoid stress in young people as far as possible. Both parents must have agreed together. The conditions also demanded that the children also say yes as soon as possible. “Money cannot be earned with such participation. The test subjects receive an expense allowance. The participants are mostly idealists or sick people who hope for an effective treatment.”

Intermediate results of the vaccine test series for children under twelve years of age BioNTech / Pfizer started a study in March 2021 with children aged six months and younger than twelve years. In the first phase, a small number of minors initially received different doses. In the current phase II, around 4500 young people are to be tested for the effectiveness of the vaccine in more than 90 facilities in the USA, Finland, Poland and Spain. Here researchers analyze the respective immune response. Results could be available from September.

Moderna reported the start of the phase II / III study in March. More than 6,700 children between six months and under twelve years of age in the United States and Canada are expected to participate. Here, too, it was initially about the best dosage. The effectiveness is then checked in the further course.

With the vaccine from AstraZeneca investigations began at Oxford University in February. Several hundred young people and children between the ages of six and under 18 should take part. The study has been temporarily stopped by the British authorities after reports of very rare side effects with thrombosis.

Janssen / Johnson & Johnson started testing his vaccine with adolescents aged twelve and over in April 2021. If the interim results are good, younger test persons should join the group. However, this study is also currently on hold.

Sinovac has been testing its CoronaVac vaccine in China since the beginning of May. In phase II, minors between the ages of three and 17 are to be tested here.

STIKO sees no rush

Professor Dr. Fred Zepp follows vaccine development with great interest. On the one hand, Zepp is a member of the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO). The committee drew up the recommendations for the sequence of corona vaccinations. Zepp was also director of the Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the Mainz University Hospital for many years. He believes it is imperative that vaccines be developed for minors as well. This is particularly important for high-risk patients such as children with chronic cardiopulmonary diseases, emphasizes Zepp. “The mRNA vaccine process is an impressive development with excellent prospects. But we do not yet have any broad experience with children,” explains Zepp. For him it is important that the development of an adult’s organism is differentiated. The acute side effects can usually be recognized in the first twelve to 16 weeks. “With infants or children, on the other hand, I have an organism that is subject to constant development. That is why I say: We are currently under no time pressure in this group and should wait for further study results.” In addition, there are hardly any children in Europe who are seriously ill with Covid-19. Less than 80 children in Germany were being treated in an intensive care unit because of Corona. There have also been very few deaths that are even below the rate of flu. Zepp is also referring to a few cases in adolescents in the USA who developed heart muscle inflammation after the second vaccination with BioNTech. The authorities are currently investigating whether there is a connection. “The coronavirus will continue to change. I expect that the older population could also be affected here.”

“The pathogen spreads unhindered, especially in children”

In Munich, Matthias Kromayer leans over the latest results from corona vaccine research in children. The microbiologist recommends vaccinating minors according to the relevant studies and approvals – regardless of the vaccine. Kromayer works on the board of MIG AG. The company is currently investing in 30 start-ups. In 2008, BioNTech received a good 13 million euros as an initial investment from MIG.

For Kromayer, a vaccination rate of 70 to 80 percent in the population is the goal. “Then there is a good chance of paralyzing the spread of the virus and mutated variants. The pathogen spreads unhindered, especially in children. They are closer together and cannot yet adhere to the hygiene rules,” explains Kromayer. According to the Federal Statistical Office, there are more than 8.5 million people under the age of twelve in Germany. For Kromayer, this group is so large that it should not be ignored in the fight against pandemics. At the same time, children have a much stronger immune system that can deal with Corona much better. In this way, fewer pathogens would presumably be transmitted: “The vaccine side effects in children are likely to be very limited, but the resulting protection for other population groups is high. That should be weighed up.”

Politicians do not want to commit themselves yet

In Berlin, too, the Federal Ministry of Health has long since registered the emerging debate. Whether and to what extent children should also be vaccinated in the fight against Corona is still silent. Upon request, the press office simply declares: “The results of studies and possible approval by the European authorities remain to be seen.”

According to BioNTech / Pfizer, reliable results from the currently ongoing study series can be expected from September onwards. By then, at the latest, the discussion about the best vaccination strategy will really start

In fact, drug delivery is also a very important issue in the chain of new drug development. Especially when we use drugs developed using advanced molecular biology strategies, such as macromolecular drugs, gene therapy drugs, etc., safe and efficient delivery is considered essential.

Moreover, according to NIH data, both large-molecule drugs and small-molecule drugs may have serious side effects due to their interaction with non-target targets. Such side effects caused by off-target severely limit the development of drugs, especially the development of the best therapeutic drugs for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and infectious diseases.

Therefore, the research needs of drug delivery are urgent and will definitely attract more and more attention. Already, AI biotechnology companies have begun to deploy in this field.

Solving the problem of drug delivery requires AI technology

At present, the research on drug delivery systems can be divided into four main directions: ①The way of delivery; ②The carrier of delivery; ③The loaded drug; ③The means of targeting.

Among them, the delivery vehicle is an important research direction. More and more clinical studies, and even drugs that have been approved for marketing use viral vectors such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus, or lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vectors. For example, the mRNA vaccine for the new coronavirus uses the LNP vector, and the gene therapy drug Zolgensma for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy uses the AAV vector. However, issues such as the safety of the carrier, immunogenicity, and the ability to load drugs still need to be solved urgently.

Targeting means is another important research direction. For example, how to successfully transport drugs across the blood-brain barrier to the brain is critical to the treatment of brain diseases such as brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Moreover, the target requirements of delivery will become more and more refined, not only targeting to various organs (heart, lung, brain), reaching tissue types (muscles, nerves), reaching disease-specific cells, and even targeting The correct structure inside the cell. Such research means that it is possible to accurately deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells, which will greatly reduce the side effects of traditional drugs.

Therefore, drug delivery is not only to connect the inherent characteristics of drugs, but also to face the complex problems of multiple variables in different microenvironments of the human body. AI technology has natural advantages in managing big data, analyzing or interpreting complex data. With the development of machine learning, especially neural network algorithms, it is natural for artificial intelligence to participate in research in the field of drug delivery.

Introduction of domestic and foreign startups

1. Dyno therapeutics

Dyno was established in 2018, focusing on the use of AI technology to develop AAV vectors for gene therapy. In May of this year, Dyno announced that it had completed a $100 million Series A financing. Natural AAV is easily recognized by the immune system, and it does not have specific cell and tissue targeting, so it must be modified before treatment. The traditional modification method is “directed evolution”. Synthetic biologists randomly mutate a certain amino acid on the capsid protein that is in direct contact with the target cell, and then evaluate whether this change is helpful for AAV targeting the target tissue. Repeated iterations Such a cycle of mutation-evaluation-superimposed mutation-re-evaluation. In view of the large sequence space of the capsid protein, this project is arduous and lengthy, the screening ability is far from keeping up with the market demand, the speed of discovery is slow, and the output is also limited. Therefore, as soon as Dyno appeared, it attracted the attention of many gene therapy companies. Novartis and Dyno signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a new type of AAV vector for gene therapy of severe eye diseases; Sarepta and Dyno signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a new type of AAV vector for gene therapy of muscle diseases; Roche’s Spark also signed a cooperation agreement with Dyno to jointly Develop new AAV vectors for gene therapy of central nervous system diseases and targeted liver delivery. These cooperations are expected to bring a total of more than $3.8 billion in funding for Dyno. Figure 1 The technical process of Dyno therapeutics (source: the company’s official website, compiled by Fengshuo Ventures) As shown in the figure above, Dyno’s technology platform combines machine learning algorithms with biological experiments. First design a batch of AAV capsid sequences, and build a DNA-encoded capsid database after synthesis; through next-generation sequencing methods, the capsid mutations in the library can be tracked and identified; experimentally measured parameters that are critical to successful treatment, such as delivery The five parameters of efficiency, specificity to the target, immune system response, packaging size and manufacturing characteristics; based on these experimental data, train machine learning models to predict the function of the new sequence, and construct a panoramic map of the different properties of the AAV capsid . Continuously looping this process, the panoramic map outlined by machine learning will become more and more detailed. In the end, it can be achieved that for a certain disease, a certain potential treatment method, Dyno inputs the required parameters, and the machine learning algorithm can output the predicted capsid sequence. This is the AAV vector that is expected to achieve the best therapeutic effect. 2. Jitai Medicine Jitai Pharmaceutical was established in 2020 and was incubated by Jingtai Technology, an AI drug crystal form research and development company. As the first AI-driven pharmaceutical formulation development start-up company in China, the company completed a Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of dollars in December 2020. Jitai Pharmaceutical focuses on drug delivery and formulation research and development, and is committed to using AI technology to solve specific problems in the development of new drug preclinical formulations and drug delivery design to the entire chain of process amplification. It has reached strategic cooperation agreements with Huahai Pharmaceutical and Boten Pharmaceutical . From the establishment of Jitai Pharmaceutical, it can clearly reflect the guiding role of domestic pharmaceutical policies on the market. Centralized procurement with a large amount reduces the profit margins of domestic generic drugs, forcing relevant pharmaceutical companies to find innovative ways, or to develop independent innovation drug research and development with high risk and investment, which may take 10-15 years; or to carry out the second category of preparations Research on new drugs, such as cooperation with Jitai, may only take 3-5 years to enter the market at a lower cost. Therefore, at present, Jitai Pharmaceutical will mainly use AI technology and quantum chemistry calculation methods to complete the development of customized complex formulations for traditional pharmaceutical companies. At the same time, the AI ​​design platform of the LNP carrier was built, with a view to providing carrier services for many domestic nucleic acid drug research and development companies. Concluding remarks At present, there have been relatively many studies on the delivery of traditional drugs in the body using machine learning. In the future, more research needs will focus on new drugs and precision treatments. Nowadays, gene therapy is still subject to the biggest bottleneck-the “vector”. The situation is no different from decades ago. Dr. Jim Wilson, the pioneer of gene therapy, feels “embarrassed” about the entire viral vector research. Maybe it’s because we don’t understand enough knowledge? Maybe it’s because we are not getting knowledge fast enough? And AI technology can bring us more and more effective information from a perspective different from human thinking, improve our knowledge base, promote the development of drug delivery technology, and help all kinds of new therapeutic drugs to achieve their due Good treatment effect.

Housing market Tax tricks with Interest settlements

Status: 06/17/2021 10:42 a.m.

Financial investors speculate with billions on the German housing market, but hardly pay taxes – thanks to a legal trick. The federal government wanted to close this loophole. But loud monitor – Research won’t come of it.

By Lutz Polanz and Jan Schmitt, WDR

“Behind this house is an American company, the trail of the owners leads via Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands” , tells Coni Pfeiffer, activist and spokeswoman for the # 200Houses network. Tenants from Berlin have come together to defend themselves against the conversion of their apartments into expensive condominiums and the greed of financial corporations. It is similar with the other houses on the opposite side, explains Pfeiffer. Here the trail of investors leads to tax havens such as Gibraltar or the Virgin Islands. The Berlin real estate market has long since become an Eldorado for major investors who want to remain anonymous. The official owners are companies with names such as Magenta Properties S.à.rl or Berlin Project-1 Property III S.à.rl The names often conceal complex corporate structures with a whole chain of companies. In the end, they lead to well-known tax havens, for example in the Caribbean.

Interest trick to save taxes

The elaborate company structures apparently also serve to avoid paying taxes to the German tax authorities. A completely legal interest trick helps the companies: The parent companies lend money to their subsidiaries who own the houses and land in Germany. In return, they charge them high internal interest rates – much higher than they would otherwise have to pay at banks. The interest payments of the subsidiaries reduce the profit in Germany and thus the taxes that would have to be paid here.

“The profits go to countries in which no tax is levied on interest income”, explains Gerhard Schick, board member of “Citizens’ Movement Finanzwende”. “Thanks to these high interest payments, it is practically possible to push the income abroad, so that in Germany you can tell the tax office that we have actually not earned any money, but that the profit is generated abroad.”

Billions are being lost to the Treasury

“Every year the German state loses five to seven billion euros as a result of the interest rate trick”, adds Christoph Trautvetter from “Network tax justice”.

So far, the tax authorities have been able to do next to nothing about it. There is no corresponding legal regulation. Specialists have been calling for them for years, for example Manfred Naumann, an expert in international tax law and head of department in the Federal Ministry of Finance for many years: “I am frustrated that the legislature and the Federal Ministry of Finance are unable to find such a regulation”, said Naumann in an interview with the ARD -Magazine monitor . For him the state wears one “complicity” because financial resources run into the billions “flow untaxed”. Proposals for such a regulation have long been on the table. Accordingly, the interest rate would always be used as a benchmark at which a group can borrow money from the bank. Demanding higher interest rates internally would only be possible if the group can justify it well. That would be a kind of reversal of the burden of proof, which experts believe would prevent a large part of the tax damage.

Paragraph disappeared

The Federal Ministry of Finance under Olaf Scholz (SPD) had proposed precisely such a new regulation in a draft law. But the CDU / CSU parliamentary group intervened and the corresponding passage was deleted from the draft. The Federal Council then made a new attempt to resume the regulation. But this was also thrown out at the instigation of the Union.

“Braking measures against money laundering, aggressive tax avoidance and tax evasion by the CDU / CSU has a long tradition”, criticizes Sven Giegold from the Greens in the European Parliament. However, he is also surprised that the SPD did not protest against it.

The Union faction wanted to get up monitor -Do not answer the request. The Federal Ministry of Finance, led by Scholz, is now apparently at a distance from its original approach. Corresponding changes “should ideally be coordinated internationally”, it says in a response from the ministry to a request from monitor .

Now the match ball lies with the Federal Council. He wants to decide at the end of June whether to call the mediation committee or wave the law through with the loophole

Soviet Arctic explorer at station NP-8. Photo: Sputnik Searching for a Soviet research station The research station NP-8 was only used by Soviet Arctic explorers until the time the ice sheet began to split. At that time, the scientists could have been urgently evacuated and this abandoned research station continued to float in the ocean until it was destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the Office of Naval Research under the US Department of the Navy conducted a “hunt” for abandoned Soviet research stations. It is said that the Soviet Union installed American submarine sound detectors there. Initially, the target was station NP-9, detected by a reconnaissance aircraft in May 1961. However, the operation was delayed and the research station was located too far in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. Station NP-9. Photo: Sputnik In the spring of 1962, about 970km from the Canadian Air Force base at Resolute Bay, another abandoned and floating research station – station NP-8 – was accidentally discovered. This is an opportunity America cannot afford to miss. Plan “Skyhook” Considering the fact that an icebreaker can’t make it through the dense ice in the area, a helicopter won’t be able to reach NP-8’s location and the plane’s landing on icebergs Floating is also too dangerous. So the US decided to drop the agents there by parachute. But the question then is how to bring those people back [máy bay]. In the end, the US decided to use the evacuation system that the CIA used in hostile lands, also known as the “Skyhook” – developed in the late 1950s. The plan required a balloon. Helium-inflated small, a 150-meter lift and a low-flying aircraft. When the balloon rises to the required height, agents “tethered” to the balloon by lifting ropes will wait on the ground. The approaching aircraft will use a special scraper or “horn” to pull the rope while releasing the balloon. The lifting rope is then automatically wound into the winch, lifting the agent onto the plane. What happened on the iceberg? Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper and fluent Russian, and his colleague Captain Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, had three days to review everything at the research station. . A few boxes of essential equipment were dropped onto the iceberg with the agents. American B-17 bomber. Photo: Uli Elch (CC BY-SA 4.0) As the US predicted, the Soviet scientists left NP-8 station in a hurry without having time to bring all the equipment. Agents discovered more than 80 documents, collected debris from equipment left behind by the Soviet Union, took about 100 photos. By the time the plane returned to pick them up, the weather in the research station area had turned severely bad. Visibility is reduced and wind is very strong. “I was immediately in a situation that one would imagine was flying into space,” recalls Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that arrived to pick up the agents. The “trophies” collected by the agents were easily loaded onto the plane using the Skyhook without any problems, but getting the agents on board was a difficult task. The wind caused LeSchack to be dragged nearly 100 meters until the agent tried to cling to a block of ice. Even after the plane picked up the lifting rope, LeSchack still spent up to 10 minutes “hanging” in the air in cold weather before boarding. After seeing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and held on to a Soviet tractor left beside the research station for as long as possible. In the end, Smith was lifted without any particular difficulty. “Enjoy your time. This is the first time I’ve been able to relax in about a week,” Smith joked to the pilots after being loaded onto the plane. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the field of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, the US also obtained evidence that the Soviet Union used sonar equipment of US submarines in the Arctic. “Overall, the Soviet Union’s remarkable achievements in drifting stations show that they have a long experience in this field and that these research stations themselves are also very important to the Soviet government.” , the commander of the operation, Colonel John Cadwalader said.

According to Lieutenant Colonel, Associate Professor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men, Director of the Center for Clinical Trials and Bioequivalence, Military Medical Academy, phase 3 injected the Nano Covax vaccine to 13,000 people and administered only a single dose group injection. at least 25 mcg and the placebo injection group. Specifically, according to the protocol approved by the Ministry of Health, the first 1,000 trial injectors of the first phase of phase 3, the volunteers are injected with the ratio of “6 people vaccinated, 1 person injected placebo”. The remaining 12,000 people injected according to the ratio “2 people vaccinated, 1 person injected placebo”. It is expected that the first phase of phase 3 will be conducted by the Military Medical Academy and the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City with 1,000 volunteers, each with 500 people. Vietnam’s first COVID-19 vaccine tested in phase 3 on humans. Regarding the reason for choosing the dose group of 25 mcg, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chu Van Men said that testing at 3 dose levels of 25-50-75 mcg showed that the vaccine was safe on volunteers, capable of generating immunity in 3 doses. There was no difference in dose groups. Therefore, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research, Ministry of Health decided to only inject 1 optimal dose of 25 mcg at this stage. Phase 3 is implemented in many centers in the country: The North is deployed by the Military Medical Academy as the focal point at Military Medical Hospital 103, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Center of Hung Yen province to deploy locally; In the South, the Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute is the focal point to deploy, in collaboration with the Preventive Medicine Centers of Long An and Tien Giang provinces to deploy locally. After the phase 1 and phase 2 trials, the Nano Covax vaccine is judged to be quite safe, so the criteria for recruiting volunteers will be relaxed more than the previous two phases. 13,000 volunteers participating in phase 3, aged 18-75 years old, only need to check their blood count and check for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or already have antibodies will be excluded from the test population. As of June 11, more than 6,500 volunteers have registered to test the Nano Covax vaccine against COVID-19 phase 3. Senior Colonel, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Anh Son, Deputy Director of the Military Medical and Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Military Medical Academy added: “It is expected that by mid-September 2021, after about 42 days of the second injection. In two of the first 1,000 experimental injections, we will summarize the results of the quality assessment to report. If it is favorable, we will submit the dossier and propose the Government, the Ministry of Health, and the National Ethical Council in the study. In parallel with that process, the unit will continue to test the Nano Covax vaccine on 12,000 volunteers to continue to control the experimental injection and evaluate the effectiveness. protective power of vaccines”. During the testing process and after the antibody sample is available, the Military Medical Academy will coordinate with the Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, the testing units to conduct the assessment of the ability to neutralize the SARS-CoV virus. -2 in the laboratory for existing virus strains to determine the development direction of vaccine research in the coming period. Through discussions with the expert group of Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Joint Stock Company, in addition to recombinant protein technology, there are other technologies for research and production of vaccines. Nanogen as well as many Vietnamese scientists are very interested in mRNA technology – which has been of great interest to the world in recent years. This technology has the advantage of reacting very quickly to the disease, quickly getting a vaccine. According to available information, vaccines produced by this technology are very safe for human use. More information about the phase 3 trial, Lieutenant General, Prof. Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, said that this trial phase is designed according to the adaptive design method, continuing to inject the experimental vaccine. trial and placebo group; health assessment at the time of the first injection, the second dose (done on the 28th day), the 35th day and the 42nd day after injection. The Director of the Military Medical Academy expressed confidence in the safety of the Nano Covax vaccine with the results achieved through the previous two testing phases. Specifically, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies after the phase 2 trial injection showed that the antibody titre increased very high, from tens to hundreds of times. After the second injection, the volunteers had a physical examination (blood test, blood pressure measurement…) once a week to assess the amount of antibodies appearing in the body; then continue to be monitored for 6 months to get information, assess health as well as immunity ability. Up to now, 100% of volunteers who have been vaccinated with Nano Covax vaccine have produced antibodies in the blood. – Phase I (December 2020), the COVID-19 vaccine Nano Covax was administered to 60 volunteers. – Phase II (February 2021) injected over 554 people. From phase 2, the trial was conducted both at the Military Medical Academy and the Medical Center of Ben Luc district – Long An province (by the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City).

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visits the vaccine research and production laboratory of the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung A representative of the Military Medical Academy said that it has successfully researched and manufactured a test kit to detect the new strain of corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time RT-PCR method, used at more than 100 facilities. healthcare throughout the country and exported to 18 countries around the world. Continuing to research and successfully manufacture Amphabio PCR test kits with the ability to test quickly and in large quantities at the same time, which is currently being used effectively in Bac Giang province. Notably, the Academy has been trusted by the Ministry of Health to carry out phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19 (from December 2020) and both are generating antibodies. It is expected that from June 2021, there will be a phase 3 clinical trial, deploying over 13,000 volunteers 18 years of age or older. In addition, the Academy has mobilized staff to support the prevention and control of Covid-19 in Quang Nam, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Laos. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited and worked at the Military Medical Academy – Photo: Thanh Chung Speaking at the meeting, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue highly appreciated the efforts and achievements that the Military Medical Academy has achieved during 72 years of construction and growth, which has received the most noble achievements of the Party. , state and military. In particular, in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Military Medical Academy is one of the active, active and effective participating units. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in the current period, the task of effective disease prevention is the focus in the implementation of “dual duty”, so vaccines are an important “weapon”, strategic, decisive issues to end and conquer disease. “The XIII Congress of the Party has set a key task of focusing on controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, mass vaccination of the community with Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, the Military Medical Academy closely coordinates with other agencies. Relevant ministries and sectors urgently speed up the phase 3 clinical trial of the Nano Covax vaccine against Covid-19, striving for early results to have a preventive vaccine for the community” – National Assembly Chairman assigned. The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that the Military Medical Academy should identify challenges such as, there are many domestic and foreign facilities focusing on research and production of vaccines. Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue analyzed that if there is no superior vaccine in terms of quality, price and supply quantity, it will fall into an opportunity trap. A number of vaccine products have been born and put into circulation in countries, along with rigorous testing by the health systems of countries, approved by WHO. However, there is currently a vaccine that has shown its effectiveness compared to the new variant; There are scenarios of monopolistic production, imposing price and quantity, but also opportunities for technology transfer in the direction of humane sharing. “So, the Military Medical Academy to research and produce vaccines, it is necessary to have the shortest time of antibodies, the shortest number of days, the better. The side effects must be minimized, especially for people with underlying diseases. and weak health. Having the ability to resist and adapt to new variants of the virus,” suggested the National Assembly Chairman. At the meeting, the Military Medical Academy proposed to allow the Academy to organize the implementation of the project “Research and Development Center for Human Infectious Diseases” which was approved by the Prime Minister at the government office. Document No. 164 dated December 31, 2020 of the Government Office, which is expected to have a number of functions and tasks such as research on pathogens, development and production of biological products for detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. treating infectious diseases, especially dangerous and extremely dangerous diseases, contributing to protecting the health of soldiers and people, especially in emergency and disaster situations. Researching foundational technologies in development, technology transfer and production of vaccines against infectious diseases, especially dangerous and dangerous infectious diseases. Agreeing with the proposal of the Military Medical Academy, National Assembly Chairwoman Vuong Dinh Hue suggested, the Academy needs a state-level scientific research program and emergency approval to research and test. production of vaccines for human infectious diseases. The Ministry of National Defense shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with relevant agencies in, facilitating and directing the Military Medical Academy to accelerate the implementation of the project “Research and development center for human infectious diseases vaccines” under the theme of: Government policy. Also this afternoon, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue visited the vaccine research and production laboratory at the Military Medicine Research Center building, under the Military Medical Academy. The National Assembly Chairman graciously encouraged the forces directly involved in research, production and volunteers to test the Covid-19 vaccine.

Competition with china US Senate passed Billion program

Status: 09.06.2021 09:01 a.m.

With a $ 250 billion program, the US wants to make up economic ground against China. The aim is semiconductor production and the research area Artificial Intelligence. The US Senate has passed a huge investment program in research and technology. Across all parties, the senators voted in favor of the package of measures designed to strengthen the US economy in competition with China. One of the goals is to advance the production of semiconductors in the USA and research in the field of artificial intelligence. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote: “If we don’t do anything, our days as the dominant superpower could be numbered.” US President Joe Biden was satisfied with the Senate decision: “We are competing for victory in the 21st century and the starting shot has been fired.” The US would have to maintain its position as “the most innovative and productive nation in the world”, according to Biden.

Production capacities decreased

According to the White House, the proportion of semiconductor production capacity in the US has fallen from 37 percent to around 12 percent of global production over the past 20 years. US companies are dependent on foreign countries, in particular on countries in Asia, which is a risk in the supply chain. Currently, many automakers and electronics manufacturers are struggling with not enough chips on the market. Among other things, the surge in demand for notebooks and other computer technology during the pandemic led to the shortage of semiconductors.

Discover the technologies of tomorrow

President Biden said the bill will enable the US to discover, manufacture and improve tomorrow’s key technologies – from artificial intelligence to computer chips to lithium batteries used in smart devices and electric vehicles – in the United States United States. The House of Representatives must also give its approval for the Investment Act to come into force. According to the US media, it could meet with resistance there.

In this phase 3, Nano Covax vaccine will be tested in multi-centers at domestic facilities with the deployment of vaccination for 13,000 volunteers. Specifically, in the North, experimental injections were carried out at the Military Medical Academy (Hanoi) and in Hung Yen province; The southern area is carried out by the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, and is planned to be injected in 2 provinces: Long An and Tien Giang. In the immediate future, in phase 3, 1,000 registered volunteers will be tested, and then continue to recruit more. In this phase 3, there is also research and evaluation of the effect of the vaccine against the variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus found for the first time in India. By the end of September 2021, after the phase 3 trial is completed, depending on the test results and epidemic developments, the vaccine will be considered for approval for emergency use on a large scale in our country.

The lack of information raises more questions. Recently, 24 scientists sent a letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) asking for an independent and rigorous investigation because they thought that the international investigation to China in early February was not deep enough. US President Joe Biden on May 26 also ordered intelligence forces to “double efforts” to investigate the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, including the possibility of a leak “from a laboratory accident”. While the theory that the corona virus leaked from the laboratory was “resurrected”, two competing groups of experts in the study of bat diseases in Wuhan became the target of criticism. The reason is that they are willing to ignore safety measures during research. Many new diseases in the past originated in bats. Photo: SCMP. “Batwoman” and Wuhan Institute of Virology Nicknamed “bat woman”, Dr. Shi Zhengli is a famous Chinese corona virus researcher. She has identified many strains of the virus similar to SARS (severe acute respiratory distress syndrome) over the years and forewarned of new pandemic risks. Thach’s laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) also discovered and studied viruses that are closely related to corona virus. However, the scientists point out that the two viruses are still decades apart in natural evolution. According to the report of the WHO expert team, Ms. Thach said that all field activities were carried out with full protective clothing, including N95 masks, overalls, visors, and gloves. However, in a speech in June 2018, Ms. Thach said that is not the case. “Most of the time, we’ll wear simpler protective gear, and that’s fine,” Thach said in her speech. That’s because most diseases in bats can’t be directly transmitted to humans, but can only be through intermediate animals, Ms. Thach explained. To illustrate, Ms. Thach showed the audience during the presentation a photo of her team casting nets to catch bats in the cave and sorting the samples. Some people on the team only wore medical masks and thin rubber gloves, while others used their bare hands and did not wear masks. “When are we going to strengthen the protective gear? For example, when there are too many bats in the cave or when there is a lot of dust when entering the cave,” Thach said. When the pandemic hit, Ms. Thach became quiet and appeared only occasionally. On February 2, 2020, she posted to friends on the social network WeChat and “swore on her life” that her lab was not related to the pandemic. Three months later, Ms. Thach continued to post denying rumors that she had brought intelligence files to the West, according to Global Times . Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Photo: AFP. When suspicions fell on the WIV, Ms. Thach sent a statement to the scientific journal Science in July. She said the corona virus could not have come from the WIV because her team did not encounter this strain during research. In addition, every employee here has tested negative for corona virus antibodies. According to Ms. Thach, before the pandemic, her team “never exposed or studied this virus, and did not know of its existence”. But she also admitted that her lab has not yet sequenced the genes of every sample due to financial and human constraints. She declined to say how many samples remain unsequenced. In January, Thach’s laboratory was questioned even more after the US State Department announced that there were “reasons to believe” that some WIV researchers showed symptoms similar to Covid-19 in the fall of 2019. May, Wall Street Journal also cited intelligence reports that three WIV researchers had been so sick that they needed to be examined. Vien Chi Minh, WIV’s laboratory director, called this a “blatant lie” in response to state media. Bat explorer and Wuhan CDC CDC During this time, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lab was less visible than the WIV. The WHO expert team’s report on the trip to the Wuhan CDC did not include notes on research safety measures. According to the report, the laboratory moved on December 2, 2019 to a location near the Huanan market – the market that was linked to the first cases of corona virus infection. “Such activity can disrupt the operation of any laboratory,” the WHO expert team said. However, the Wuhan CDC laboratory did not record any interruptions, according to the WHO expert. The Wuhan CDC is the place to monitor China’s initial response to the pandemic. At the Wuhan CDC, there is also a person who regularly works with bats – Dien Tuan Hoa. According to the Washington Post , in terms of position, Dien Tuan Hoa is a deputy technician in the pest control department of the Wuhan CDC. But Mr. Dien is known for being an aggressive adventurer when it comes to working with bats and insects. “He often goes to places that other people cannot find to get the necessary specimens,” a colleague said of Mr. Dien on a local TV station in January 2020. “He can confidently say that he can catch what others can’t.” Tian Junhua on a field trip to collect insects in Hubei province. Photo: China Daily. Using nets and traps, Mr. Dien’s team caught 155 bats in his home province of Hubei, and hundreds of bats in other areas for research in 2013. Mr. Dien was also a member of the team. discovered 1,445 new vertebrate RNA virus species. This result was published in a famous scientific journal Nature in 2016. Once, Wuhan CDC held an internal meeting with the theme “Learning from the achievements of Dien Tuan Hoa”. “No one can remember how many mountains he climbed, how many rivers he waded, how many bat caves he explored, how many stables he crawled, and how many landfills he had to search,” the CDC wrote of the event. However, Mr. Dien also admitted that sometimes he did not comply with research safety rules. In 2017, Mr. Dien told the state newspaper Wuhan Evening News that he once forgot his personal protective equipment, so he had to be isolated at home for 2 weeks after being shot in the body by bat urine. On several other occasions, he got bat blood on his skin while trying to control the animal with forceps, Mr. Dien said. On February 3, 2020, Mr. Dien’s team continued to appear in the journal Nature with early-stage clinical descriptions of a corona virus patient in Wuhan. The team’s research indicates that bats can be a host for pathogens. But when Covid-19 spread, Mr. Dien became quiet. March 2020, the state newspaper Health Times An anonymous source said Mr. Dien was not infected with corona virus. According to the article, Mr. Dien was in a bad mood because of rumors about whether he was patient zero. According to a report at the end of March by the WHO expert team, the Wuhan CDC denied storing or experimenting with bat viruses before the pandemic took place. However, in a video, Mr. Dien said he had been to dozens of bat caves and studied 300 types of virus vectors. Also from March, Mr. Dien no longer spoke in public. This highlights the challenge of an independent investigation into the origins of Covid-19: Many of the people who might have had key information in Wuhan are now silent. Mr. Dien continued to research during this time. In August 2020, Mr. Dien was a co-author on a study on ticks. Another of his November 2020 studies focused on antibiotic resistance genes in fish. Mr. Dien no longer speaks or publishes research on bats.

Wax coconut, a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. Photo: MD. The Board of Evaluation and Acceptance of Scientific and Technological Tasks of Tra Vinh Province has just accepted the topic “Design and manufacture of equipment to determine the percentage of wax in coconuts” by Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Tra Vinh University as the chair. Wax coconut is a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. However, determining the percentage of wax in coconuts has long depended on the experience of gardeners. The use of Deep Learning classification equipment helps gardeners determine the percentage of wax in coconuts with the correct probability of up to 95%, determine the percentage of solid wax and liquid wax with 80% probability, should be graded by the council. rather. Mr. Luu Van Nhan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Tra Vinh province, said that in the past to choose wax coconuts, gardeners’ experience was to shake, but often not absolutely accurate. Nhan said, while still working in Cau Ke, a delegation of the National Assembly ordered 50 waxed coconuts, he asked a reputable agent to collect them. But after asking, I found out that there are many fruits like normal dried coconut. Council for acceptance of coconut wax measuring equipment. Photo: Minh Dam. “In such cases, I believe the gardener is not intentional but just mistaken. Therefore, determining the percentage of waxy coconuts is extremely meaningful to avoid the fact that a 150,000 VND waxed coconut turns into a coconut. dry 10,000 VND. I find this research very close to the actual situation and has high practical application significance”, Mr. Nhan emphasized. According to Mr. Nhan, when applying this device, large-scale farmers, businesses that buy raw wax coconuts, and trading facilities will have more favorable conditions in business, especially the There is no doubt between the buyer and the seller. Now Mr. Nhan wants to buy 50 waxed coconuts, just put it in the machine will have results, from that result the price negotiation will be very close to reality. But Mr. Quick said that, to move towards commercialization, the research team’s product should be improved as compactly as possible for easy portability. The meter for measuring the percentage of wax in coconuts works at the acceptance test of the research topic. According to Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Vice Rector of Tra Vinh University, the knowledge economy is developing in line with the trend of industrial revolution 4.0, higher education institutions play a more important role to find new knowledge, transmit spread knowledge and apply that knowledge through scientific research activities and technology transfer into practice. At the same time, schools need to update the latest research from these scientific research results and transfer this technology into teaching to students in order to improve training quality. Because this is a measure for schools in applying knowledge to create practical values ​​for life. At Tra Vinh University, it is clear that 3 basic components including training, scientific research, technology transfer are inseparable, the development trend expands over time to meet the requirements of educational innovation. university education. Successful research on cordyceps at Tra Vinh University. Photo: Minh Dam. Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa shared: “Over the years, Tra Vinh University has promoted applied research and technology transfer activities among lecturers and students. In particular, focus on strongly developing the invention space among students and lecturers – makerspace, developing student research groups – IEEE Student Chapter at Tra Vinh University, developing Lab – invention space for students students, lecturers, student cooperative models, student farmer associations, and policies to encourage the incubation of start-up ideas, applied scientific research and technology transfer to serve the community. “. In the coming time, Tra Vinh University will continue to prioritize the implementation of projects to deploy research products with commercial potential, focusing on investing in strong research directions, prioritizing community service and closely associated with businesses, departments inside and outside the province in ordering scientific research and technology transfer.

This is the result of research from 2020, by a team of University of Sciences, Thai Nguyen University that has successfully carried out the project: “Research and development of a rapid detection kit for SARS-CoV- 2 viruses by Realtime technique”. The product of the project is 20 biological kits that have been used in screening for SARS-CoV2 virus detection at hospitals and Centers for Disease Control of Thai Nguyen province. Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Quang, President of Thai Nguyen University, said that during the 4th outbreak of the epidemic, the University directed to support 100 million VND for over 400 volunteers who are officers, students, and students. volunteered to the University of Medicine and Pharmacy to participate in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in Bac Giang and Bac Ninh provinces. This force has been carrying out tasks such as taking samples, testing, tracing, taking care of patients and other jobs at epidemic hotspots of the two localities. Currently, there are nearly 300 volunteers who are officials, students, and final year students of the school who have registered and are ready to go. In the past 3 epidemics and the current epidemic, member universities of Thai Nguyen University such as the University of Industrial Technology, the University of Information and Communication Technology, the branch of Thai Nguyen University in the province Lao Cai, University of Science, University of Education… also donated automatic body temperature measuring devices, automatic hand sanitizer dispensers, thousands of bottles of antiseptic solution to many agencies and applications. schools, schools in Thai Nguyen province and neighboring provinces to serve the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic. The Board of Directors of Thai Nguyen University has also directed member units to prepare facilities and coordinate with Thai Nguyen Province’s Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control in using the Education Center. National Defense and Security, the dormitories of universities, colleges, centers of Thai Nguyen University as a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 prevention and control. Currently, Thai Nguyen province has issued a decision to establish a concentrated isolation area for COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control at the University of Technology and Industry, University of Agriculture and Forestry and a decision to establish a command center for the isolation area. COVID-19 prevention and control at the National Defense and Security Education Center.

Overcoming prejudice to pursue passion Jocelyn Bell was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Burnell is her husband’s last name, Roger Burnell. Her parents, Allison and Philip Bell, were supportive of her interest in science. Mr. Philip is an architect, credited with building Ireland’s Armagh Planetarium. Her parents’ support was especially important because at the time, girls were discouraged from doing scientific research. In fact, the school she attended, Lurgan College, wanted girls to focus on housework skills. Thanks to the persuasion of her parents, she was finally allowed to study the sciences. Jocelyn Bell Burnell in her youth At the beginning of her academic and research career, she thought that she was not qualified to attend Cambridge University, and she was even ridiculed by male classmates. However, she did not stop striving and in 1965, she graduated from the University of Glasgow with a major in Physics. In 1969, she successfully defended her doctoral thesis at Cambridge University. During her time at Cambridge University, Jocelyn Bell worked on a team led by astrophysicist Antony Hewish that built the Mullard Observatory’s (MRAO) radio-receiving antenna array to observe the quasars. They also created a radio telescope to study quasars, bright distant objects that contain supermassive black holes within them. She detected the first radio signals of a pulsar on October 28, 1967 at the age of 24. This is the first pulsar, a star invisible to the naked eye that can only be detected by radio waves. Neutron stars rotate very quickly and emit beams of radiation, which have a huge gravitational pull. As for the discovery of pulsars, the press described it as “the greatest astronomical discovery of the 20th century”. Jocelyn Bell Burnell’s discovery was also called “one of the most surprising things in the history of astronomy”. Among many other findings, her discovery provided a kind of test for Einstein’s theory of relativity, providing a new treasure of knowledge about how heavy elements in the universe form. However, Burnell’s work was completely ignored. In 1974, together with radio astronomer Martin Ryle, Antony Hewish was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in the field of astronomical observations at radio wavelengths and the discovery of pulsars. It is unfair that Jocelyn Bell was not awarded a part of the Nobel Prize even though she was also named in the scientific report on the discovery of the pulsar. It was a gender-unfair decision, according to observers. Jocelyn Bell Burnell was honored by US scientists with the attendance of President Barack Obama in 2016. The world recognizes the merits Jocelyn Bell Burnell has taught at many universities in the UK and USA. She has won the Beatrice M. Tinsley Award from the American Astronomical Society (1989), was awarded the Royal Medal from the Royal Society in 2015, the Prudential Lifetime Achievement Award and many others. She became President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and President of the Royal Astronomical Society from 2002 to 2004 and was elected President of the Institute of Physics from October 2008 to October 2010. She was recognized by Queen Elizabeth as Commander of the British Empire for her services in the field of astronomy. Her curiosity, diligent observation, and rigorous analysis have revealed some of the most mysterious and interesting objects in the universe. Not only a pioneer and a great tree, Bell Burnell is also the most outstanding role model in the field, a worthy representative of women in science. She has dedicated her career to empowering women and minorities in science.” Chiara Mingarelli, astrophysicist at the Flatiron Institute in New York, USA Bell Burnell’s discovery had a great influence on world science. In early 2018, scientists at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) demonstrated the feasibility of using pulsars for navigation in the SEXTANT experiment carried out on the International Space Station. This experiment stems from the idea that future robotic spacecraft could use the pulsar’s clock-like regular X-rays to triangulate the position of the pulsars. There is currently a project to use pulsars as lighthouses to guide the way during space travel. “Analyzing data in other regions, I found two more mysterious signals. I discovered four other examples of an entirely new class of stars, objects that emit signals as they rotate. Their signal swept across the universe like a lighthouse. We called it a pulsar,” she told the Guardian. Jocelyn Bell Burnell and her work on pulsars Pulsars have been used to weigh the solar system and accurately determine its mass. They are recommended signposts for long-term interstellar navigation. Astronomers also use pulsars to create maps that direct aliens to Earth’s position in space. In 2018, physicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell was awarded the Breakthrough Prize – the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, worth $3 million. She used the $3 million prize money to create scholarships to encourage female students, migrants, and disadvantaged ethnic minorities to pursue a career in physics. For a discovery that many consider worthy of a Nobel Prize, she was recognized by the Breakthrough Committee with a special prize in fundamental physics for her scientific achievements and her “inspirational pioneering role”. ” for more than five decades.

Illustration GS. Dr. Truong Viet Dung, Chairman of the National Ethics Council in Biomedical Research, said in the SK & DS newspaper, in phase 3, the subjects of the Nano Covax vaccine trial in Vietnam will expand. The object here means the area, which can be extended to other areas such as workers in industrial zones. However, areas or industrial zones with COVID-19 cases were not selected for clinical trials because it would be interpreted as the epidemic situation that made people too worried and accepted to participate in the research. Therefore, research can only be carried out in industrial zones at risk of disease outbreaks, not in industrial zones with epidemics. Testing participants for COVID-19 to confirm the absence of antibodies is required. In the spirit of “testing as quickly as possible” of the Government, the Ministry of Health assigned testing units. Fast does not mean cutting, skipping stages. Any stage must comply with international requirements and standards. Do it very quickly but must be very standard, giving it to the Council must be approved immediately. In general, in accordance with the process and step by step of each phase, so that the Ministry of Health has enough scientific basis to be able to grant urgent and conditional use of Nano Covax vaccine in Vietnam. Information on Vietnam plus, Deputy Director of Military Medical Research Institute Ho Anh Son said that according to the latest information, it is possible that as soon as next week (expected in early June 2021) will enter vaccine research. Nano Covax phase 3 with the expected number of volunteers to participate is about 13,000 people. In phase 3, the implementation is very fast, following the correct process, and at the same time meeting the needs of disease control in Vietnam. Up to now, the Military Medical Academy has mobilized a lot of doctors, technicians, students… to participate in the testing process so that it can be ready for deployment in 10 provinces/cities across the country at the same time. country. After testing phase 1 and phase 2, Nano Covax vaccine is quite safe, so the criteria for recruiting volunteers will be relaxed more than the previous 2 phases. Volunteers participating in phase 3 from 18-75 years old, only need to check the blood count and check for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or already have antibodies will be excluded from the test population. More about the phase 3 trial, Lieutenant General, Professor-Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, Ministry of National Defense said that he believes in the safety of the Nano Covax vaccine with the results achieved. through the previous two phases of testing. According to the Director of the Military Medical Academy, immunogenicity is reflected in two main factors: antibody concentration and antibody immunogenicity. Specifically, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus antibodies after injection of the phase 2 trial showed a very high increase in antibody titres, from tens to hundreds of times. Antibody immunogenicity to assess the ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 virus living at the 35th day of good response, above the prescribed threshold. As for the ability to neutralize the virus at day 42, the team has now evaluated 22/110 samples; expected to be completed in early June 2021 to report to the National Ethics Council in Biomedical Research. Phase 3 aims to evaluate the protective effect of the vaccine on the community, designed in many centers, expanding to other localities with a larger number of samples with only 1 injection. Based on the results of the evaluation, the National Ethical Council in Biomedical Research selected the experimental injection of 25mcg dose. Strictly following international guidelines, the National Ethical Council for Biomedical Research also identified a phase 3 trial in 10,000 people. Military Medical Academy complies with the approved outline and deploys to recruit volunteers.

Specifically: V – Virtual, using simulation tools to support the research process; T – Technology, VHT determined to follow the field of research and development from core technology, latest technology (latest technology); O – Open, VHT determines the spirit of openness internally and externally, willingness to cooperate internationally, transfer technology on the basis of its own ownership; P – People, VHT holds talented engineers, in the team there are more than 30% doctors, masters from abroad, there are leading international experts from the US, Singapore, Taiwan…; C – Challenge, setting high goals and challenging is the guiding principle for development; I – Infrastructure, VHT has the most modern lab system in Vietnam and can be said to be not inferior to any country in Southeast Asia. Research group Invention of radio base station of VHT . Broadband Radio Center Answering the question of why VHT can achieve many high-tech research and development achievements, especially the successful registration of 4 exclusive patents in the US, Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang said, the important issue especially their capacity and technology; Internal strength is decisive. All the results have been accumulated over 10 years of VHT. Currently, VHT has world-class products in many fields such as military, information machines, radar equipment, etc., which can completely compete with the world’s leading corporations. “If I can compete in terms of technology, there are certainly a lot of core technologies and algorithms that I can bring to register for intellectual property. Which markets do I target, I will start to register for protection in that market. The first milestone to conquer is the US, if it is already in the US, it will be much simpler in other markets because the US is the most difficult market”, said Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang. The VOTO driving simulation cabin system is researched and developed by VHT In the world today, the US is considered one of the countries with the most patents. Patents granted by USPTO will have to go through many of the world’s most rigorous censorship and evaluation processes. Therefore, getting a patent from this agency is an extremely difficult process. Mr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Appraisal Center, Intellectual Property Department (Ministry of Science and Technology) said: In the last 5 years, the number of Viettel’s patent applications has grown continuously. The fact that Viettel has 4 US-patented patents has great significance in affirming the technological capacity and development orientation of Vietnamese enterprises. Nguyen Vu Ha, General Director of VHT affirmed: “The US patent is a recognition of inventions and scientific research, thereby, affirming that Vietnamese people can compete with corporations. major technologies such as Huawei, LG, Nokia… Intellectual property rights are affirming an indispensable role in the process of forming a comprehensive economy and sustainable development. The certificate of intellectual property rights is the evidence to ensure the success of each enterprise entering the world arena. Field image of the invention “Method of detecting water surface targets in the noisy environment, application in the coast guard radar station” of VHT Radar Center 3đ research orientation of high-tech products of VHT: The first is high-tech defense products.

So she decided to “explore” her new home and post the entire process on TikTok. What was hidden in this house terrified Jaclyn: there were many secret passages around the house and a “tunnel” above the stairs. One of those who saw this clip on TikTok bluntly commented that this is a “perfect place for serial killers”. In the video, Jaclyn opened the window next to the stairs and discovered an empty room littered with dry leaves. The master bedroom also had a door she assumed led to the garage, but Jaclyn had not dared to try it. The 29-year-old also found plenty of narrow spaces for trash or “forgotten” items, such as a pair of orange Converse shoes. According to Jaclyn, the house was built in 1959. On narrow secret paths in the house, she discovered that the previous owner had installed a light switch, a path leading to the shelter room and 16 security cameras in operation. . “When I went up to the attic, I found a small door leading to another door overlooking the bedroom below. I only know that from 1985 up to now, this house has been owned by a single family.” she shares. “The comments I get most often are ‘Move home now’ and ‘This house chills me.’ There are many theories surrounding the house, like someone living in the walls and following. watching me, or even haunted here. Many people even say they dreamed of this house. Jaclyn intends to contact the current landlord to find out about the mysteries surrounding this house.

Edit | 1 At present, with the increasingly stringent domestic emission regulations and tax requirements, domestic small-displacement turbocharged engines are in the heat of the industry. In the high-end market, Chinese auto brands do not have large-displacement engines and self-developed high-end transmissions to match them. But this situation has been broken. On April 19, Great Wall Motor Hive Yichuang released the first domestically-developed 3.0T+9AT/9HAT powertrain. It is understood that this powertrain consists of the 6Z30 engine independently developed by Great Wall Motors and the first domestic 9-speed hydraulic automatic transmission/the first domestic P2 hybrid 9-speed hydraulic automatic transmission. The new powertrain will be used for vertical placement. The layout of the Great Wall Motors tank platform will be mass-produced within this year. As the flagship power of Great Wall Motor’s high-efficiency fuel technology route, the 6Z30 3.0T engine adopts a V-type 6-cylinder type, adopts dual injection system, Miller cycle, dual VGT supercharger, intake manifold integrated water-cooled intercooler, and full map engine Oil pump and other technologies can output 260kW maximum power and 500N·m maximum torque, and currently have the strongest performance attributes among Chinese auto brands’ 3.0L displacement engines. This engine has strong low torque, and the official said it can burst out 340N·m of torque at 1000rpm, which can cover a variety of off-road life related products such as large SUVs, pickups, and RVs. At the same time, this engine meets the national 6b+RDE, Euro VI d, SULEV30 and other emission standards. It is matched with 9AT and 9HAT transmissions. Among them, the 9AT transmission is an advanced transmission used in the vertical high-efficiency fuel power system; the 9HAT transmission is a P2 hybrid transmission used in the hybrid power system. Great Wall Motor’s 9AT transmission is the first 9-speed hydraulic automatic transmission in China. It adopts the self-developed hydraulic automatic transmission structure scheme optimization program and intelligent integrated electronic hydraulic module and other technologies, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in transmission performance. Under the condition that the transmission size is controllable, the transmission load capacity of up to 600N·m is realized. Based on the powerful torque support of the 3.0T engine, the 9AT transmission sets the three gears 7, 8, and 9 as overspeed gears to improve the fuel economy performance of the vehicle. In daily driving, the 9th gear can be engaged when the vehicle speed reaches about 90km/h. The 9HAT transmission released this time is the first P2 hybrid 9-speed hydraulic automatic transmission in China. On the basis of 9AT, 9HAT adds a high-power P2 hybrid motor, which can realize the pure electric or hybrid drive mode of the whole vehicle. The transmission load capacity of up to 750N·m can be achieved while the transmission size is controllable, which further improves the power and ride comfort of the vehicle. In the end, the 3.0T+9HAT powertrain can achieve a total system power of 410kW and a peak torque of 750N·m. Last year, Great Wall Motors released a multi-platform strategy. Among them, the lemon hybrid DHT, 4N20 2.0T+9DCT/9HDCT, P4 three-in-one pure electric bridge in the “Lemon platform” has formed a system power from 35kW to 320kW, and the installed models are from Layout from A00 to D.

Information from VinFast said: “Currently, VinFast is focusing on vehicle development projects involving foreign research institutions. However, the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly hindered the conclusion. connectivity and mobility between countries Therefore, VinFast has decided to bring the entire overseas vehicle development team to its headquarters in Vietnam to optimize all resources and facilitate coordination. with the production team at our complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam. VinFast research centers in Australia. The Vietnamese automaker also added: “For this reason, we temporarily closed our Australian office (Port Melbourne) and moved all staff to Vietnam. In fact, Kevin Yardley has resigned. We will fix all matters in accordance with the law if anyone fails to move to Vietnam “. VinFast also said that the decision to close its research and development office in Port Melbourne “will not affect the Lang Lang car test facility. We will make an official notice if there are any changes” . Lang Lang car test facility. According to the CarAdvice This decision will affect about 50 employees at VinFast’s research center in Australia, including mainly former Holden, Ford and Toyota employees who lost their jobs after the “kangaroo country”. also produces domestic cars./.

Illustration. “We don’t want to talk, because people ask me to share. Actually, Bkav researched Corona virus vaccine (Covid-19) a year ago, ”Mr. Quang told VnEconomy a few minutes ago, regarding a recent online discussion about Covid-19 and he revealed. Bkav has established a new generation vaccine research group. Bkav Chairman said that after finishing the first epidemic, around May 2020, Bkav went to meet with representatives of the Central Epidemiological Party to learn about vaccines, and this activity of Bkav came. Currently still in theoretical research phase. Mr. Nguyen Tu Quang. The new technology vaccine is like making a chemical – 3D printed – that gives the shape of a virus “to fool the body into making antibodies”. “At that time, Bkav’s Institute of AI Technology set up a group to specialize in researching vaccines and epidemic prevention issues, which Mr. Quang said he often shared. Research activities on this vaccine are still going on, ”said Bkav Chairman. According to Mr. Quang, now the new generation vaccine mainly uses technology. Vaccines are like 3D printing. Conventional vaccines have to be grown on other hosts or have real samples and then transplanted to other things before it can be replicated and vaccinated. While new technology vaccines are like creating chemicals, but in 3D printing with nanotechnology, the technology content is very high. This vaccine can be produced in large quantities, and cultured normally cannot do much. According to this leader, the field of research and production of vaccines is very potential because the technology is very high. Because you can imagine virus variation very quickly. If the traditional method of making vaccines responds to variations is many years. But the new method can be adjusted immediately by technological measures … like programming. To put it simply, it is very related to Bkav as programming anti-virus software in your computer, this is a program to create a new virus shape corresponding to a variant virus, like programming anti-virus software. So, Mr. Quang added. Vietnam’s current vaccine technology, according to Bkav President, is still using mainly culture, of course there is also new technology in culture, but the efficiency is still low – it is difficult to produce hundreds of millions of doses. Whereas the new technology vaccine is like making a chemical – in 3D printed form – that gives the shape of a virus “to fool the body into making antibodies”. This is like programming to make vaccines, and technology plays an important role. Mr. Quang also said that when he met with the leader of a vaccine manufacturing company, the leader also analyzed research and production of new generation vaccines now that the technology factor occupies more position – the computer, programming, is information technology, with a lot of content. Of course, there must be knowledge about biomedical science, so Bkav has recruited more human resources in this biomedical field. However, according to Mr. Quang, this is a long-term story, of many decades, not a day or two. And in fact, new technology vaccines have been studied for decades, so when facing the urgent “Covid” period, they were immediately brought to the market and confirmed that they are effective. Why does Bkav want to participate in this field? Mr. Quang questioned and explained to VnEconomy that, as the “Covid disaster” has been going on, the coming here will not be a nuclear weapon and a biological weapon, which everyone can see. And if there is no technology to make vaccines with new technologies, it is “difficult to survive” with viruses similar to Corona virus. Second, according to Quang, in the world today, the production of vaccines depends on several companies, so Vietnam must also master new vaccine production technologies. . “Especially in Vietnam with a hundred million people, we have to master such things, as before, other vaccines we also have to master. Bkav’s goal in entering this field is to master new vaccine technologies, and this is something technology companies must take part in, ”said Bkav Chairman Nguyen Tu Quang. And only that, according to Mr. Quang, if an epidemic occurs, Vietnam can take the initiative. Bkav’s “Vaccine Journey” is a long story with a vision of a biological weapon, after the Covid-19 story, there will certainly be more (large) countries that have more motivation to manufacture weapons. biogas, but Bkav must prepare (research vaccine) right now ”, said Mr. Nguyen Tu Quang.

People were tested with Nano Covax vaccine phase 2. In phase 2, the volunteers were divided into 4 groups, including groups of injections with doses of 25mcg, 50mcg, 75mcg and placebo. All 3 doses of 25mcg, 50mcg and 75mcg injected to volunteers were immunogenic, of which the 25mcg dose level is considered to be the most effective. The research team will report the results of phase 2 to the Ministry of Health. It is expected that on April 27, it will submit to the National Bio-Medical Research Ethics Council of the Ministry of Health a plan to deploy the clinical trial injection of Nano Covax vaccine phase 3. According to the plan, Nano Covax vaccine in this phase will be tested in large groups, from 10,000 to 15,000 people, starting from May 5-2021. The research team is expected to propose a single test injection dose of 25 mcg. Previously, as reported by the New Hanoi News, Nano Covax was the first Covid-19 vaccine in Vietnam to be injected for clinical trials in humans, researched and developed by Nanogen Technology Joint Stock Company. In phase 2, there were 560 volunteers registered for the trial, expanding the subjects from 18 to over 60 years old, of which, some people had background diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, heart disease. 1 degree circuit … not too heavy. The test vaccination of Covid-19 Nano Covax vaccine phase 2 was held at two bridge points: the Military Medical Academy and the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City (participating in the study, conducted in Ben Luc district, province. Long An). For objective reasons, there were 4 people who asked to withdraw from the list of experimental injections. As a result, 556 people completed the second phase of Nano Covax vaccine trial.

Mr. Dinh Danh Thuong (SN 1987) in Ha Huy Tap, Yen Vien, Gia Lam, Hanoi – a player who plays common and mutant orchids for many years, said, there are many reasons why this type of mutant orchid is The giants play orchids and are always available in the garden. Specifically, it is by: The first mutant orchid 5CT Phu Tho appeared ever since no one knows anymore. But in 1972, the circus group evacuated to the communal house of Co Tiet village, Tam Nong, Phu Tho. Seeing the beautiful flower on the banyan tree, it was taken to plant, propagate and radiate the flowers. Since then, the name 5CT Phu Tho has been deeply ingrained in the players’ consciousness until today. Phu Tho’s 5-pointed white orchid is always welcomed by giants The orchid has a beautiful flower face Talking about 5 CTPT cotton, many people think that it is the crystal of the sky, so this cotton face always has a pure beauty, white cotton, white nose, beautiful eyes, balanced wings, color stability and face. The flowers bloom from year to year, without losing the features of the 5 programs. Harmonious shape with wings and shoulders flying, very neat purple cheeks, beautiful goose eyes. In addition, the 5 developmental programs with the special characteristics of the eyes and nose vary according to climatic regions and care methods. They can create many cotton faces with very beautiful and unique eyes. It is the beauty that only 5 programs have this new, that those who have just played orchids or played mutant for a long time will love to collect and develop. 5 CTPT has a pure beauty Strong and healthy tree, good reproduction and propagation In addition to the beautiful flower face, according to Mr. Thuong as well as many other orchid players, only 5 CTPT orchids have beautiful stems, beautiful leaves because they have strong varieties, well developed, kie root, flower face. If you take good care, you can reach 100 eyes like a giant orchid garden in Binh Phuoc. In particular, the care of this orchid is quite easy and similar to other mutant orchids. It is a popular type of mutant orchid If many other mutant orchids are expensive for a few tens of millions or tens of billions / cm, the price of 5 mutant orchids is considered as the most affordable mutant orchid. That price helps those who are new to playing or love spread mutants can learn and collect. Mr. Thuong shared that the lowest price of 5 development programs ranged from 800,000 to 1.2 million VND / cm. Currently, many mutant orchids owners still sell this orchid at a price of 1.8 million VND / cm. Big tree, strong, propagated well High safety and stability To collect a mutant orchid, buyers may have to spend a billion or a few tens of billion / cm. But to own 5 CTPTs, buyers do not need too much money. Because this mutant has a cheap price, the national orchid, the market is accepted by everyone. Therefore, if in the process of the collection, the price falls, the tree dies, the player will not pay too much. Therefore, playing lan 5 programs with lower risk ratio, high safety and good economy. Moreover, because 5 CTPTs are the first var orchids that everyone wants to own when entering to play var orchids, they have high stability. Mutant orchid players, although they already own many different types of orchids, but there are always 5 CTPTs in the garden. Especially those who practice playing orchid, most of them started to invest in 5 program development programs.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Ngo Duc Thanh, Hanoi University of Science and Technology. (Photo: Bich Lien) That is shared by Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh, Hanoi University of Science and Technology – a young scientist who has just received the nomination for the Ta Quang Buu Prize in 2021 announced by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Sincere and full of enthusiasm of the scientist who met us, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Thanh said: Global climate change (CC) is a contemporary challenge that humanity is facing. Many human and computational resources are focused by the world to make future climate change scenarios under different assumptions. In 2012, at an international conference in Vietnam led by Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh co-organized, Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments (Southeast Asia) project coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments (Southeast Asia) was established with the goal of sharing computational resources, human resources and promoting research for Southeast Asia. As soon as CORDEX-SEA was initiated, Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh and his colleagues have embarked on research on simulating extreme temperature and precipitation factors for Southeast Asia. The study focuses on a number of climatic factors for the entire Southeast Asia region such as the number of heavy rainy days, the number of consecutive rainy or no rainy days, the number of days when the temperature is too hot or too cold … The program helped him to be named in the list of nominees for the Ta Quang Buu Award in 2021 – the project “Evaluation of the ability of the RegCM4 model to simulate the extreme indicators of rain and temperature in the CORDEX-Southeast. ASIAN”. According to Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh, there are currently many models with different parameter configurations that can be used to calculate future climate change for the global as well as for individual regions such as Southeast Asia. However, different models will give different errors in different countries, regions, and times. During more than 4 years of implementation, Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh and international colleagues conducted 18 simulation experiments to find the most suitable and optimal model configuration capable of representing the extreme climatic factors of rain and heat. area. 18 experiments were also ranked, from which the most optimal set of model parameters were selected, serving the long-term climate change projection until the end of the 21st century. After being announced, the work received the attention of the research community inside and outside the area. By providing the most optimal model parameters for long-term simulation experiments in Southeast Asia, the work is extremely important, helping to save significant resources and computation time. planning future climate change for the entire region. Initial research results are positive, but things have not stopped. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Ngo Duc Thanh said that, along with the results obtained, many big questions were re-opened: What is the cause of the difference in rainfall increase and decrease in different regions of the region? How do changes in the rain temperature regime affect extreme phenomena such as floods, droughts, hot weather …? However, the thing that Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh feels most confident and confident that it is the handshake association of international scientists. Never before has the inter-country cooperation in the field been so extremely challenging as meteorology and climate change have been so closely coordinated. Talking more about the success of the project, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Thanh said: This is not only an honor for each individual scientist but also an opportunity for the field of meteorology / climate to be “quietly” and Picky learners, workers get more attention from society. Concerned about this field has not been concerned by many people, he expressed: There are very few young people interested in studying this field because this is also a challenging issue. “In recent years, each course has only recruited very few students, leading to this industry often scored relatively low, while the industry is in need of people who are good at math, physics and computer science.” In addition, during his work, he witnessed “inflows of people coming and going” in a number of hydro-meteorological research units, partly due to working conditions and inadequate income. living did not attract them. “We need the push to create a team of high-quality meteorologists that can be dedicated and passionate about the industry. That way can meet the needs of the society, solving practical and urgent problems such as forecasting natural disasters or researching climate change ”, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Thanh shared. /. The Ta Quang Buu Award is awarded annually by the Ministry of Science and Technology to honor scientists who have outstanding achievements in basic research in the fields of natural sciences and engineering. In 2021, together with TS. Bui Minh Tuan, Assoc. TS. Ngo Duc Thanh, a famous meteorologist was nominated for the “Main Award” category of this award. The Awards Ceremony is expected to be held on May 18 – Vietnam Science and Technology Day.

The mystery of the global drone giant DJI’s “car building” has surfaced. At the Shanghai Auto Show that opened on April 19, in addition to the hotly debated rights protection of Tesla owners and the explosive Huawei autopilot, DJI also showed its muscles in autopilot. But unlike Huawei’s call for the absolute number one autonomous driving technology, DJI’s layout in this new field is still as low-key as its founder.

Compared with Huawei and Baidu, which bet on L4 autonomous driving, DJI Automotive is taking a road of “upgrading and fighting monsters”. It gradually advances from L2, L2+ to L3 and L4, which are more difficult to land, which is pragmatic and conservative. Some insiders told Sohu Technology that DJI will not forcefully pursue high-level autonomous driving technology, and will pay more attention to the continuity of the scene.

There is no doubt that the track of autonomous driving is large enough and competition will become more and more fierce, but it will still take time for large-scale commercialization to land. With the emergence of a ceiling in the drone market, DJI’s new battle for outward expansion has just begun.

From drone to smart car

In recent years, news of DJI’s entry into autonomous driving and even car-making has been reported from time to time, but DJI has never let go of it. Until recently, on April 12, DJI officially released its intelligent driving business brand DJI Automotive. But DJI is not about building cars, but researching, producing and selling intelligent driving systems and their core components.

Sohu Technology learned from DJI insiders that DJI has established a pre-research team since 2016 to study whether DJI’s proven space intelligence technologies (sensing, positioning, decision-making, navigation, control, etc.) on drones can be applied. In a broader field, the direction of smart cars will be determined at the end of 2016. In mid-2017, the software and hardware of the on-board system will be initialized after R&D and experiments, and it will enter the formal development stage.

In 2018, DJI obtained the first batch of test licenses for intelligent connected vehicles in Shenzhen, and began to conduct normalized and large-scale tests. In 2019, DJI officially established an automotive business unit to clarify the positioning of DJI’s automotive brand and Tier 1 supplier (Tier 1). In December of the same year, the first automotive-grade intelligent manufacturing center was built, and technology began to transform into products.

It can be said that DJI is one of the first technology companies in the world to enter the research and development of autonomous driving. “But even if it has cooperated with car companies, it is still in a state of confidentiality. Most of the colleagues in the company are not aware of the existence of DJI Vehicles.” The aforementioned DJI insider said.

After five years of low-key layout, DJI’s automotive team currently has 700 people, including more than 500 core R&D personnel, 87% of which are masters and doctors, and has more than 1,000 patents in the automotive field. According to public data, DJI has invested more than 4 billion yuan in research and development in the fields of chips, sensors, lidar, and vehicle-assisted driving systems.

From the point of view, DJI can be regarded as catching up with the wave of intelligent autos. The chaos of the market has begun, and it is still expected to get a share of the pie. It is understood that at present, DJI’s in-vehicle business mainly launches 7 solutions with different configurations for smart driving and smart parking.

Specifically, it includes intelligent driving D80/D80+ covering the speed range of 0 to 80 km/h, suitable for urban expressways; intelligent driving D130/D130+ covering the speed range of 0 to 130 km/h, suitable for expressways and urban rapids road. Intelligent parking includes three scenarios: assisted parking, memory parking for the last 100 meters, and autonomous parking for the last 1 km. The corresponding solutions are P5, P100 and P1000.

From the perspective of perception configuration, D80 is equipped with 1 camera, 5 millimeter wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, D130 is equipped with 6 cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, and is equipped with driving behavior recognition early warning cameras (DMS). It can then support the driver to get rid of it. At the same time, without upgrading the hardware, the D80 and D130 can open assisted driving functions for unstructured roads in urban areas.

D80+ and D130+ are equivalent to the Plus version of D80 and D130. Among them, D80+ adds 5 cameras and a set of lidar based on the D80 sensing solution, and D130+ adds 1 camera and a set of lidar on the basis of D130, both It can support the driver to take his eyes off.

In the smart parking scenario, the three solutions launched by DJI are equipped with 5 cameras, 1 millimeter wave radar and 12 ultrasonic radars. The main difference lies in whether it is equipped with lidar; among them, P1000 needs to be equipped with lidar, which can achieve medium-length Distance autonomous parking and autonomous calling.

Focus on L2+ and L3

From the perspective of DJI’s layout, for the industry’s controversial autonomous driving technology route, DJI did not choose to stand in line. Instead, it placed bets on pure vision and lidar-led routes. OEMs can choose according to their own needs. It is similar to the technical route strategy adopted by Baidu.

In the field of intelligent driving, the outside world often divides the technical level of enterprises by the level of autonomous driving. However, Xie Tiandi, director of public relations at DJI, told Sohu Technology that DJI has not tested or released a plan based on the SAE (International Society of Automata Engineers) classification of autonomous driving.

He believes that SAE is actually a hierarchical model based on “responsibility division”. This is not a sufficient condition to measure the autonomous driving system. There are many tracks covered by autonomous driving, and the difficulty, investment, scene, and market size of each track , Business models are different, and the constraints are also different. It is very inadequate to use the simple classification of L0-L5 to talk about the entire industry.

However, Sohu Technology has noticed that in the intelligent driving and intelligent parking system function tables announced by DJI, the automatic driving level is indicated. For example, intelligent driving D80 and D130 correspond to L2+ level automatic driving, and D80+ and D130+ correspond to Level 3, smart parking covers levels L2, L2+/L3, and L4. In this regard, DJI said that as a solution provider, it provides functional expectations, but the actual installation will still be customized and rated according to the needs of the host manufacturer.

It can also be seen that DJI is currently focusing on L2+ and L3 autonomous driving, while Huawei and Baidu have all launched L4 autonomous driving solutions and are accelerating commercial progress. However, some media reports said that there is actually a team in the DJI vehicle team that is engaged in cutting-edge R&D for L4 autonomous driving technology.

In fact, DJI adopts the ODD (designed operating area) technical strategy for autonomous driving functions and scenarios. The more continuous the ODD, the smoother the functions will be used. For example, D80/D80+, D130/D130+ have specific speed and area restrictions, and the smart parking solution is also aimed at scenes at different distances.

“A reasonable solution for autonomous driving requires facing reality on the one hand and not directly pursuing the so-called high level of technology. If the continuity of some scenes is difficult to achieve, the driver should be led instead of outputting poor automatic driving. Experience, this is better than the experience and safety that people think that the car can drive automatically, but have to stare at any time and take over at any time.” The aforementioned DJI insider said, but on the other hand, it must be “hard and rigid”. When the car enters a scene where the continuity of autonomous driving can be pursued, the continuity needs to be improved to the extreme, so that consumers can truly get the liberation of attention.

This is also DJI’s technical thinking. Only an autonomous driving system that balances the matrix of functional experience, safety, and cost can have the conditions to talk about advancement. To this end, DJI has also self-developed and produced a number of core components, including monocular and binocular cameras, DMS, domain controllers and their middleware, and driving behavior recognition and early warning systems. The company’s engineer team currently has 200 people.

However, DJI is not fully All-in. For example, the lidar is provided by Lanwo Technology. This is a lidar company incubated internally by DJI. Last year, it launched two products for L3/L4 autonomous driving at a price of only It is 6499 yuan and 9000 yuan, which has obvious cost advantages compared with other lidars that cost tens of thousands or even more than 100,000. It has been mass-produced and launched in Xiaopeng Motors.

In addition, satellite navigation systems and high-precision maps are also provided by suppliers. It can be seen that, while ensuring reliability, DJI’s in-vehicle solution intends to reduce dependence on external data sources such as high-cost sensors, V2X infrastructure, and high-precision maps. This is different from Huawei’s layout, and it also determines the different business strategies of the two.

Mass production will be launched within the year

DJI Intelligent Driving has a clear timetable for commercialization. Sohu Technology has learned from DJI that the D80 and D130 are expected to be mass-produced this year, while the D80+ and D130+ will have to wait until 2024; the P100 will be mass-produced next year. Compared with Huawei, Baidu, and new automakers, the process has been much slower.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, DJI also officially announced its first partner, which will join hands with SAIC-GM-Wuling to create “people’s intelligent driving”. The intelligent driving solution provided by DJI Automotive will be the first to be applied to BAOJUN brand models under SAIC-GM-Wuling, and will be mass-produced and launched within the year.

It is understood that the cooperation between the two parties is not a parts procurement model, but is based on a large number of R&D tests and road tests to jointly promote the implementation of a complete set of intelligent driving systems. This also means that DJI Automotive has taken a key step towards commercialization, and Volkswagen is also cooperating with DJI. Volkswagen Group (China) CEO Feng Sihan disclosed for the first time at the beginning of the year that it is cooperating with DJI in the field of visual information processing to develop autonomous driving based on various road scenes, and plans to carry it on the car from 2023 to 2024.

Xie Tiandi told Sohu Technology that DJI Automotive will be open to the entire automotive industry and will not distinguish or exclude the low-end and high-end markets. But in terms of specific strategies, at least for now, DJI has adopted a way of advancing from low-end to high-end autonomous driving, and low-end brands to mid-to-high end. The landing of high-level autonomous driving will take longer to verify, and commercialization will be more difficult. The consulting company Gartner reported that it will take more than 10 years for L4 autonomous driving technology to fully mature.

However, some people believe that DJI is somewhat conservative. Although it may become a strong opponent of Huawei, it has not shown similar ambitions. However, the more critical issue at present is how can DJI persuade more car companies to adopt its own autonomous driving program when the process is somewhat backward.

At the same time, this is also an extremely critical step for DJI, which has a bottleneck in the drone market, which means whether it can create a second growth curve after drones.

In the past decade or so, DJI has gradually become a global drone giant, occupying more than 80% of the global market share and ranking first among global civilian drone companies. However, after announcing that its revenue reached nearly 17.6 billion yuan in 2017, DJI has not released any performance data. Public information shows that its performance growth rate in the first half of last year has dropped from over 60% to 30%.

At the same time, DJI is also facing the unfavorable situation of intensified competition and external suppression, and there has been no obvious breakthrough in the application of drones in the industry. DJI founder Wang Tao said as early as 2016 that the consumer drone market is about to be saturated, and DJI’s revenue will reach 20 billion yuan and it will peak, but this revenue is difficult to support DJI’s US$10 billion valuation.

This may have also greatly promoted DJI’s determination to deploy autonomous driving early. Obviously, it also values ​​the prospects of this track-with a trillion-scale potential, and China is expected to become the world’s largest autonomous driving market. DJI’s expansion under anxiety is somewhat similar to Huawei, whose mobile phone business was reluctantly suppressed and started selling cars.

In addition, for DJI, whose public valuation has reached 100 billion yuan, new stories are also needed to support future valuations. Investors have repeatedly urged DJI to go public. DJI has been listed on the market many times before, but DJI has never recognized it.

At the Shanghai Auto Show, Wang Yunpeng, general manager of Baidu’s Autonomous Driving Technology Department, said in an interview: “Our bragging rights have become cool afterwards.” For this new wave of car intelligence that has just kicked off, various new The gathering of old forces, how capable the low-key DJI can be, and whether it can replicate its status as a giant in the field of drones requires more verification.

He received attention from netizens with a unique but elegant suit thinking. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City boys often post their knowledge of men’s fashion on his personal page. From there, the men can consult and learn. “Don’t come to the important occasion to learn about the first suit” Nguyen Van Huong (born 1993) currently lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. The fashion style he pursues is the inheritance and development of men’s apparel from the early 20th century to the present. He said that this style is not limited to costumes, shoes, hats and ties. It can spread to accessories like watches, pens or perfumes … Nguyen Van Huong attaches great importance to environmental factors when dressing. When asked about the reason for pursuing this style, Nguyen Van Huong shared: “I am a lover of beauty. I am excited by beauty and most of all, learn about its meaning and origin. I am passionate about ancient values. Classic menswear is a world that I can enjoy exploring and enjoying without fearing it will perish in the future. Nguyen Van Huong learns about classic costumes around 2019 for his wedding. However, the boy born in 1993 advised men not to wait until the important occasion to start looking for the suit. On important occasions, a nice and comfortable outfit will help people make memories. Meanwhile, to be able to wear a beautiful suit needs background and time to learn and prepare beforehand. The boy pursues a complicated style The guy in Ho Chi Minh City said that the style he pursues is quite complicated. It shows from the design of items to how to work together in harmony. Currently, his fashion sense is pursued by few people. Therefore, information is limited. “Most people have to try and fail, then learn to continue”, Nguyen Van Huong said. Huong thinks his style is quite complicated. Besides, men need confidence when wearing suit. Besides, he said that before pursuing this style, men need to prepare mentally. The fashion he pursues has a certain solemnity and sophistication. Psychological fear of being noticed or criticized by society will affect the choice of clothes. When people feel shy, people wear less on the street, don’t dare to try it and it will be difficult to find a harmonious, suitable way for themselves. For Nguyen Van Huong, harmony is the most important factor when coordinating. The boy born in 1993 said: “This style has existed for a long time. However, I am living in the present. The outfits need to be in harmony with myself and the environment I aim for.” From there, the new outfit can do the right job of supporting the form and reinforcing confidence. Separating himself from the environment is something he wants to avoid when pursuing this style. The environment affects the dress Choosing and adjusting clothes to suit the circumstances and the environment is a factor that Nguyen Van Huong attaches great importance to. Depending on the structure, the materials …, the suits will have different solemnities. Ho Chi Minh City boy said it is not necessary to bargain suit. He often wears pants or coats. This is one of the ways to make the look less formal. The separation of shirts and pants to coordinate with other designs helps the outfit less formal. Besides, he noticed that tie is an accessory that helps to make a man’s appearance more polite. When chosen correctly, this accessory will significantly elevate your outfit. In Nguyen Van Huong’s wardrobe, there is no shortage of navy suit. “This is a basic but versatile suit. If I can only choose one suit to wear, I will definitely choose a navy suit,” the guy born in 1993 shared. In addition, the overseas Vietnamese prioritizes tailoring because his body physique is not too standard. However, when finding a beautiful design and a suitable fit, he will not pay too much attention to the available or tailor-made elements. Living and working in Finland – where there is a long winter, Nguyen Van Huong mainly mixes outfits with boots. He loves the look of jodhpurs, chelsea or chukka boots. Nguyen Van Huong’s costume is a harmonious blend of classical and modern. When the weather gets warmer, the Vietnamese man coordinates clothes with simple shoes or sneakers. When choosing shoes, he will prioritize the design, evaluate the material structure and then pay attention to the brand. Nguyen Van Huong shared that he spent about $ 3,600 on the most expensive suit including suit, shoes and accessories. However, he does not often pay attention to the most expensive and expensive items. He attaches great importance to the overall, moderation and harmony when coordinating outfits. His locker has many important items but is cheap. A suit is an important design in men’s life. A suitable outfit will bring out the elegant appearance and highlight the physique of men. Therefore, Nguyen Van Huong advised men: “Start learning about the first suit as soon as possible. When you need to use it, there will be enough clothes, knowledge and confidence”.

From Anja Martini, tagesschau.de “There will not be one miracle pill against Covid-19” – with these words Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek dampened the prospect of rapid scientific success. The Federal Ministry of Research intends to spend 50 million euros on drug research. A panel of experts has made recommendations for several projects. Sandra Ciesek, director of the Institute for Medical Virology in Frankfurt am Main, and Christoph Spinner, senior physician for infectiology and pandemic officer at the Rechts der Isar Clinic in Munich, were involved as experts. He says patients need different therapies depending on the severity or stage of the disease. Remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine or antibody cocktails: they have all attracted attention. But how far is research on drugs against Covid-19 actually?

An asthma spray as a “game changer”?

The active ingredient budesonide is currently the focus of research. It is an active ingredient in an asthma spray, also known colloquially as cortisone spray, which is said to be able to prevent severe courses of Covid-19. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at Oxford University in a study that was published in the journal “The Lancet”. The British scientists had randomly divided 146 adult corona patients with mild symptoms into two groups. 73 of them were treated with budesonide twice a day at an early stage of the disease, 73 received standard therapy such as paracetamol for the fever. Subjects who inhaled the active ingredient budesonide had to go to hospital less often and recovered more quickly than those who received standard therapy. According to senior physician Spinner, that sounds good at first – but the study is still based on a hypothesis. A placebo-controlled study must follow in which the second group is treated with a dummy drug. In addition, the number of subjects was very small. The results would have to be checked in larger studies.

Anti-inflammatory drugs slow the immune response

The anti-inflammatory dexamethasone is mainly used in patients who are admitted to the clinic. It is recommended in the national guideline for the treatment of Covid-19 patients. The drug, which belongs to the corticoids, is supposed to slow down an excessive immune reaction, which often occurs with Covid.

Antibody drugs attack the virus

These active ingredients were made public when the former US President Donald Trump became infected with the corona virus in October. Among other things, he received an antibody cocktail that Regeneron had developed and that is produced by the pharmaceutical manufacturer Roche outside of America. At that time, the drug was not yet approved in the United States. After his relatively quick recovery, Trump described the cocktail as a “miracle” and a “cure”. The drug now has emergency approval in the USA. For Europe, the tests are being carried out by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). At the beginning of the week Roche presented the first results of the clinical phase 3 study. According to this, the administration of an antibody combination from the agents casirivimab and imdevimab could reduce the risk of symptomatic corona infections by about 81 percent. Unexpected serious side effects did not occur. Antibody drugs such as Bamlanivimab and REGN-COV2 may be used in clinics in Germany under certain conditions. However, they are only to be used at a very early stage of the infection, according to medical experts Spinner.

New development of the TU Braunschweig to “paralyze” the virus

It is different with an antibody drug that was developed in Braunschweig. The Paul Ehrlich Institute has just approved it for the first clinical studies. It is called COR 101 and is intended to be used for the treatment of hospitalized patients. These are patients with a moderate course of Covid-19 who have to be hospitalized, but not yet in the intensive care unit. Stefan Dübel laid the foundation for this drug. He is a biologist and heads the biotechnology department at the Technical University of Braunschweig. The antibody, according to Dübel, binds to the outside of the virus – in a way that prevents the virus from docking on cells. The pathogen is, so to speak, tied up by the antibody and can no longer move; In addition, the virus can no longer penetrate the cells, so that infection can no longer take place. The company CORAT Therapeutics has been running the clinical work since summer 2020. André Frenzel, clinical director, hopes for results for a possible approval soon.

Convalescent plasma: use of naturally formed antibodies

Research into so-called convalescent plasma is also being continued in Germany. Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are obtained from the blood plasma of recovered Covid-19 patients. The antibodies work in a similar way to synthetically produced ones. Nationwide, clinics have asked those who have recovered from corona for blood plasma donations in order to obtain naturally formed antibodies. But the statements on the effectiveness are not clear, says the Munich infectiologist Spinner.

Remdesivir, chloroquine & Co .: drugs are “misappropriated”

A glimmer of hope was initially the drug Remdesivir – originally an Ebola drug. In October 2020, however, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the agent used as a corona drug had little or no benefit, and a short time later spoke out against hospital treatment. In recent months, the malaria drug chloroquine has also been tested worldwide for its effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2. Ex-US President Trump had touted it as a miracle weapon and “gift from God” at the beginning of the pandemic. The US FDA granted the drug emergency approval – and withdrew it after a few weeks. In June 2020, the WHO finally stopped clinical studies on the effectiveness of the related drug hydroxychloroquine in the fight against the coronavirus.

PVOIL’s General Director Doan Van Nhuom and VPI Director Nguyen Anh Duc signed “Consulting service contract for research on batteries and charging stations for electric cars” VPI Director Nguyen Anh Duc said, according to a survey by Frost & Sullivan (USA), 33% of consumers in Vietnam are interested in buying electric vehicles, the rest is price, charging technology, battery price and battery life. With the role and mission of a scientific research unit of Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, VPI will monitor market indicators, regularly update PVOIL’s leaders to have a basis for making accurate decisions, preparing solutions to cope with risks and take advantage of opportunities in the energy shifting trend. PVOIL’s Chairman Cao Hoai Duong said that in the energy transition trend, PVOIL is a directly affected unit, so there is always a sense of proactively responding to “minimize danger and utilize muscle”. 3 years ago, PVOIL has been interested in researching the development of electric vehicles, the possibility of replacing electric cars for gasoline-powered vehicles and building possible scenarios. PVOIL hopes that, through the cooperation with VPI, experts will support PVOIL in researching technology, engineering, and development trends of batteries and charging stations so that PVOIL will have more information in planning development strategy. development, ready to adapt to the development trend of electric vehicles. As an oil product distribution business, the energy shift will directly affect PVOIL’s business operations. Therefore, PVOIL needs to take advantage of the available infrastructure of the system of more than 600 petrol stations across the country, apply technology 4.0 in business activities to have solutions to welcome the trend. development potential of electric car.

However, when they expanded their study to animals, they discovered some early forms of B117 in dogs, including a sample taken in the US in July 2020. Artwork: AP “These initial variants included most or all of the B117 mutations in the Canidae breed and they could have infected humans after a rapid mutation,” Professor Chen Luonan and colleagues at the State Cell Biology Key Laboratory said in a report posted on biorxiv on April 16. The arrival of the B117 variant has puzzled researchers. After being isolated from two patients in Kent in southeast England and London in September 2020, the new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus quickly became the dominant strain in the UK and many other countries. the ability to spread more strongly than the original virus strain. Some experts believe that the variant may have emerged from the local community due to the selective pressures of antiviral drugs used during the pandemic. According to a popular theory, this variant suddenly appeared in England and then spread to many other parts of the world. However, this variant had nine mutations that were rarely found on previous human variants, said Chan and colleagues. These mutations do not appear in adjacent genes, but spread across the entire genome of the virus. The likelihood of these mutations occurring at the same time is very low. The Shanghai team of researchers believes that these nine mutations created one mutation after another. Their model also suggests that variations may have appeared outside the UK and spawned mutations that were present on non-human hosts. The dogs are the most likely animal in this case, followed by the weasels and the cats. Qu Liandong, a virology professor at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute who was not involved in the study, said that more clear evidence is needed to support the hypothesis. The variations found in dogs do not quite resemble the first confirmed variant in a British patient, although the number of genetic sequences the researchers gathered from hundreds of thousands of patients was still overwhelming. small compared to the total number of patients in the world. Some of the early forms of the B117 variant were missed in the sample collection program, he said. However, if pets like dogs become hosts, “we will have a big problem,” said Professor Qu. “Nearly all of our measures to deal with disease so far have only considered humans. If the animals are also sick, it will completely change the situation,” he said. . When bird flu outbreaks occur in a chicken farm, all chickens are destroyed, even healthy ones, to prevent the risk of infection. Dogs are close friends of man. If they are able to carry or create variant SARS-CoV-2, they could suffer a similar fate, Qu said. Another solution is to inject animals with vaccines. “However, we cannot inject dogs with human vaccines. We need to develop completely new vaccines. Right now, we are still struggling in the campaign to vaccinate humans. Can the vaccination program be extended to both dogs and other animals? “asks Qu. There is growing concern that the B117 could make the dogs weaker. Veterinarians near London discovered a spike in pets, including dogs and cats, with myocarditis, and many of these were positive for the new variant of the SARS-CoV- virus. 2. Humans and animals have different immune systems and it is often difficult for viruses to be transmitted from one species to another. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is thought to have originated in bats and it takes decades to adapt in humans. When and where this virus spreads from animals to humans remains a mystery. The B117 variant has a special evolutionary process to increase infectivity, so it can be spread more easily from one host to another, says Chen’s team. Whether this process helps the variant of SARS-CoV-2 cross the species gap is still in need of further study, the experts said./.

Earth 300 is expected to launch in 2025. In particular, there are 22 laboratories on this ship. Scheduled to launch in 2025, this ship can accommodate 450 people. The Earth 300 ship was built by Aaron Olivera. This researcher expressed a desire to bring an inspiring object that will spur public interest in climate change. “The ship is designed to capture people’s attention, as well as their hearts and imagination. If we want to make big, bold changes, we need everyone’s help, ”Mr. Olivera emphasized. The Earth 300 ship will be nearly 300 meters long and have a 13-story “science ball”. Olivera wants to bring together a team of scientists working in many different fields. As a result, it helps to come up with new climate solutions with modern technology. Equipped with integrated sensors, artificial intelligence, robots, machine learning and real-time data processing, Earth 300 will also have the world’s first commercial quantum computer. With this technology, the ship can process huge amounts of data collected. The information collected by Earth 300 will be shared with other climate scientists, Olivera said. According to the researchers, Earth 300 will be zero emissions. Because, it is powered by the atomic energy from an onboard salt reactor. Described as an atomic battery pack, Earth 300 is based on the technology of TerraPower – the nuclear reactor design company founded by Bill Gates. “Currently, neither quantum computing nor molten salt reactors are installed on board. It will take an extremely high level of technicality to do that. Then we can talk about the fact that this ship will have no less than a million sensors. Basically, it will be built as a floating computer and that will be a challenge, ”said Olivera. Olivera and his team believe that radical thinking is essential to advancing research and concerns about climate change. “We live at a pivotal moment in human history and face the greatest challenge to civilization. But we also live at a time when we have access to talent, tools and technology to tackle any challenge. There’s no reason not to think big. We want to awaken the world and bring new awareness, ”Mr. Olivera emphasized.

6G technology will appear around 2030 Mr. Eric Xu also noted that Huawei is currently working to determine the key specifications of 6G technology, and the company may soon release a white paper on 6G. “We are working with other players in the mobile industry to determine what 6G really is,” added Mr. Eric Xu. Maybe in the near future, we will release our 6G white paper “. Mr. Eric Xu stated that the future development of 6G will depend on potential use cases that need the support of this technology. “If Huawei or the global industry has limited imagination and if we can’t come up with a compelling use case for 6G, then maybe 6G won’t be necessary. If all the use cases for 6G that the industry will come up with could be supported by 5G or 5.5G then we wouldn’t need 6G. Then we may need to wait for our next generation, who might be smarter than us and have different needs. They may come up with some use cases that only 6G can handle. That will be where 6G can find its value… ”, analyzed Eric Xu. In preparation for the next generation of mobile technology, the Chinese government has begun researching 6G technology. According to Chinese state media reports, government agencies and research institutes had initial meetings with the aim of establishing research and development groups. 6G technology National level. China’s Ministry of Science and Technology said it would set up two working groups to carry out 6G research activities. Meanwhile, earlier this week, the German government said it plans to finance up to 700 million euros ($ 833 million) for research on 6G technologies by 2025. In a statement, the Ministry of Education Education and Research The German Federation (BMBF) said it started Germany’s first research initiative on 6G technology this week. Besides China and Germany, many other countries in the world have also planned and invested in the research and development of 6G technology such as the US, Korea, Japan, France and Finland.

Department of Science and Technology transfer and apply the results of scientific and technological research projects and projects at the provincial level to units in the province.

Qubit Report | Public Account QbitAI

I don’t know if you have seen a video similar to “Glass Marble Making”.

In the video, the worker master needs to heat the glass material at a high temperature and then quickly shape it in a fluid state.

Although we are across the screen, we will also sweat for the operator. After all, the bright brightness makes it very hot to look at!

However, a recent study by Science shows that Now it is possible to inject glass under low temperature conditions!

Frederik Kotz and Bastian E. Rapp of the University of Freiburg in Germany proposed a high-throughput injection molding process using silica nanocomposites.

They combined the low-temperature injection molding process (IM) with water-based degreasing and low-temperature sintering processes to develop a new glass processing technology compatible with injection molding technology, which can quickly mass produce high-precision glass products with smooth surfaces.

Processing glass is not that simple

This technological breakthrough can be said to solve the core difficulties of the current glass processing industry.

first of all, High temperature melting, castingIt has always been a problem that plagued the glass processing industry.

The high temperature requirement above 1500℃, on the one hand, causes huge energy consumption during processing (It is estimated that every ton of glass processing needs to consume 5-6 megajoules of energy); On the other hand, to a certain extent, it limits the capacity and efficiency of glass industrial processing.

Secondly, the processing of glass micro-morphology mostly uses hydrofluoric acid, laser etching, etc. The preparation process is dangerous, difficult to operate, and pollutes the environment. The shape and output that can be processed will also be limited.

How to achieve?

However, Markus Mader and others used a low-temperature injection molding process (IM) combined with a water-based degreasing and low-temperature sintering process, which just solved the above problems.

Technical core—— Injection molding process (IM)It is a kind of rapid processing technology suitable for industrialized production. It finally produces a semi-finished product with a certain shape by pressurizing, injecting, cooling, and detaching molten raw materials.

Previously, this technology was mostly used in the processing and production of polymers. This time researchers have applied it to glass processing in a breakthrough.

First, the researchers pre-mixed silica nanopowder, vinyl butyral (PVB) solution, and vinyl butyral (PEG) solution, and evaporated to obtain a thermoplastic silica composite.

Then use a twin-screw extruder to plasticize and extrude the obtained material to obtain granular raw materials;

Followed by 130°C, Injection molding at a specific pressure of 700 ~ 1000 bar, obtained Green bodysection;

Soak the green body in water at 40°C first to remove the PEG from the material, and then use high temperature to remove the remaining binder;

Finally, high-quality transparent fused silica glass is obtained by sintering in a vacuum environment at 1300°C.

Due to the optimized two-step degreasing process, the injection molded green parts (less than 2 mm in size) are converted to transparent fused silica, and only a total of 24 hours.

In addition, the researchers further used the technology to perform high-throughput manufacturing on a commercial injection molding machine (Babyplast Christmann).

It was found that even if the silica nanocomposite is fully automated injection molding with a cycle time as low as 20 seconds, it is possible to produce complex-shaped fused silica parts at the industrial production level.

More than 200 parts were produced in 18 minutes, which means One glass component can be produced every 5 seconds!

Not only that, the energy consumption of the whole process Less than 60% of traditional processing technology; And because the degreasing process is not carried out in a high temperature environment, the adhesive used in the process can still recycle and re-use.

△Frederik Kotz

Researcher Frederik Kotz said: “This method can finally get high-purity silica glass of any shape.” And said that these glass parts will eventually have Commercial telecommunications equipment and chemical reactorsThe required optical and chemical properties.

△André Studart

André Studart, a materials scientist at ETH Zurich, said that this method can lead to more new ideas.

However, he proposed that this new method of mass production of glass components still faces a bottleneck: The PEG removal process takes several days, To ensure that the glass parts will not crack.

“If this process is accelerated, glass injection molding will become as popular as plastic!”
