Some economists and journalists looking for a passing story bemoaned statistics revealing a lack of productivity increase over a stated period of time. Is this really a problem? Whatever your job, whether in a business or church or other organization, do you feel that you have productivity metrics? Number of meetings attended Number of memos sent Number of articles written Maybe what is more important is fewer meetings that actually accomplish an objective.

Photo Credit: Getty Images Over many years in the industry, I have noticed a few things that I believe need to change in machine shops. This column describes one that has been bothering me for a long time: quality control. I know this may ruffle a few feathers, but how we do quality control needs to change. The standard practice that I see in most machine shops is that when a machine is set up, the first parts are sent to quality control for inspection and verification.

The tentacle-like device, which measures just 2mm in diameter and is controlled by magnets, paves the way for a more accurate and less invasive approach to treatment. It can reach some of the smallest bronchial tubes and could transform the treatment of lung cancer, the team said. The researchers tested the robot on the lungs of a cadaver and found that it can travel 37 per cent deeper than the standard equipment and leads to less tissue damage.

Unlike glass and aluminium, every time plastic is recycled, the polymer chain grows shorter which decreases its quality. The same piece of plastic can only be recycled about 2-3 times before it can no longer be used to make new products. But a team of researchers at three facilities at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed an infinitely recyclable plastic known as poly(diketoenamine), or PDK.
