Tauw has been contracted by the World Bank to advise it on how to deal with old pesticides and organic pollutants that are difficult to decompose (POP) in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Tauw consultants will be engaged in knowledge transfer for the delineation of an inventory and how to treat the former storage space of these toxic substances.

In each of the three countries, ten people will be trained to locate and make an inventory of former storage space. Moreover, inspecting a landfill site in each country more closely, after which they will design a technical sanitation.

Nerviano Medical Sciences (NMS) has obtained approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for first clinical trials of a new antitumor agent. The drug blocks Cdc7, a protein that is responsible for the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells. Preclinical data recently published in Nature Chemical Biology, show that the inhibition of Cdc7 induces cell death and blocked tumor growth of several types of cancer in experimental animal models.

Some of the most important properties to consider in the processing of hydrocarbons:

Density
The density of crude oil and its fractions is expressed in terms of API gravity (° API) rather than the specific gravity. The relationship between the degree API and specific gravity is reversed, a higher specific gravity less º API, and therefore heavier crude.
Crude oil gravity ranges from values ​​lower than 10 º API to values ​​greater than 50 º API, but the most crude oils having a density between 20 and 45 degrees API.
