How insulin is made – material, manufacture, history, used, parts, components, structure, steps, product

iwano@_84 5 hours ago

Background

Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in the
blood and is required for the body to function normally. Insulin is
produced by cells in the pancreas, called the islets of Langerhans. These
cells continuously release a small amount of insulin into the body, but
they release surges of the hormone in response to a rise in the blood
glucose level.

Certain cells in the body change the food ingested into energy, or blood
glucose, that cells can use. Every time a person eats, the blood glucose
rises. Raised blood glucose triggers the cells in the islets of Langerhans
to release the necessary amount of insulin. Insulin allows the blood
glucose to be transported from the blood into the cells. Cells have an
outer wall, called a membrane, that controls what enters and exits the
cell. Researchers do not yet know exactly how insulin works,

definition of manufacture by The Free Dictionary

iwano@_84 5 days ago

Among these the most important was the manufacture of the native cloth,–‘tappa’,–so well known, under various modifications, throughout the whole Polynesian Archipelago.
“I should like to know how the weavers are getting on with my cloth,” said the Emperor to himself, after some little time had elapsed; he was, however, rather embarrassed, when he remembered that a simpleton, or one unfit for his office, would be unable to see the manufacture. To be sure, he thought he had nothing to risk in his own person; but yet, he would prefer sending somebody else, to bring him intelligence about the weavers, and their work, before he troubled himself in the affair.
“I am a great inventor, you must know, and I manufacture my products in this lonely spot.”
An oppressed class under the sway of the feudal nobility, an armed and self-governing association in the mediaeval commune; here independent urban

Ceramics – Chemistry Encyclopedia – structure, water, uses, elements, examples, metal, number, salt

iwano@_84 1 week ago

Ceramics can be defined as heat-resistant, nonmetallic, inorganic solids
that are (generally) made up of compounds formed from metallic and
nonmetallic elements. Although different types of ceramics can have very
different properties, in general ceramics are corrosion-resistant and
hard, but brittle. Most ceramics are also good insulators and can
withstand high temperatures. These properties have led to their use in
virtually every aspect of modern life.

The two main categories of ceramics are traditional and advanced.
Traditional ceramics include objects made of clay and cements that have
been hardened by heating at high temperatures. Traditional ceramics are
used in dishes, crockery, flowerpots, and roof and wall tiles. Advanced
ceramics include carbides, such as silicon carbide, SiC; oxides, such as
aluminum oxide, Al

How old is my appliance? Age finder, date of manufacture code decryption help for your appliances

How old is my appliance?

Homeowners are often curious of the age of their home appliances. We have provided this service to try to help them to date their major appliances (fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc.) accurately from the code usually contained within their serial number.

Unfortunately only modern appliances made after the 1970’s or 1980’s are possible to date this way (and sometimes not even then). This service will NOT date antique models nor even those built in the 1950’s or 1960’s. Those will need manual intervention of a product knowledgeable specialist to date them …if possible at all.

How rayon is made – material, manufacture, making, used, processing, structure, procedure, steps

iwano@_84 4 weeks ago

Background

For centuries humankind has relied upon various plants and animals to
provide the raw materials for fabrics and clothing. Silkworms, sheep,
beaver, buffalo deer, and even palm leaves are just some of the natural
resources that have been used to meet these needs. However, in the last
century scientists have turned to chemistry and technology to create and
enhance many of the fabrics we now take for granted.

There are two main categories of man-made fibers: those that are made from
natural products (cellulosic fibers) and those that are synthesized solely
from chemical compounds (noncellulosic polymer fibers). Rayon is a
natural-based material that is made from the cellulose of wood pulp or
cotton. This natural base gives it many of the characteristics—low
cost, diversity, and comfort—that have led to its popularity and
success. Today, rayon is considered to be one of the most versatile and
economical man-made fibers available.

Pfizer CEO says company on track to manufacture 1.3 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses globally next year

iwano@_84 1 month ago

His interview comes after a weekend in which the vaccine cleared its final hurdle for US emergency use — being approved for people 16 and older — and as hundreds of thousands of vials are loaded on trucks for delivery to all 50 states.
Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, have expressed hope that the immunizations begin Monday, as soon as the vials land in health care workers’ hands. Several state officials have indicated vaccinations will begin Monday.

Bourla’s remarks also come as the US is expected to soon see its coronavirus death toll hit 300,000.

No deal for US second quarter yet

The 50 million doses scheduled for distribution this year have already been manufactured, the CEO said, and half will go to the United States, while the other 25

Vaccine manufacture – How vaccines are made, and why it is hard | Science & technology

iwano@_84 1 month ago

NINE VACCINES against covid-19 have already been approved in one jurisdiction or another, with many more in various stages of preparation. That this has happened within a year of the illness coming to the world’s attention is remarkable. But it is one thing to design and test vaccines. It is another to make them at sufficient scale to generate the billions of doses needed to vaccinate the world’s population, and to do so at such speed that the rate of inoculation can outpace the spread and possible mutation of the virus.

Broadly, there are two ways of making antiviral vaccines. One, tried and trusted, involves growing, in tanks called bioreactors, cell cultures that act as hosts for viruses which are then used in one way

Biden now says US will have enough vaccine for every adult by the end of May

iwano@_84 1 month ago

He also announced he would direct states to prioritize teachers in their vaccination plans, reemphasizing a commitment to returning students to classrooms amid a confusing administration stance on when and how classrooms can reopen.

The new date does not mean all Americans would receive shots by May 31; issues with distribution and personnel mean it could take much longer for all doses to be administered.

But the speedier estimate, helped along by a new partnership between major US drugmakers, makes for an optimistic target as millions of Americans wait to receive their first doses. The timeline speeds up by two months the administration’s previous goal of having enough shots by the end of July.

“That’s progress,” Biden said in remarks from the White House, warning there could still be delays in getting shots in Americans’ arms and suggesting the country would not return to full normalcy for much longer.
