A new application note, freely available on the Malvern Instruments’ website, describes how the new ZEN1010 high concentration zeta potential cell for the company’s market-leading Zetasizer Nano particle characterization system, overcomes a major hurdle in measuring the zeta potential of high concentration samples. Taking the notoriously difficult to measure titanium dioxide as an example, the authors describe experimental work that demonstrates accurate and reliable zeta potential measurement of concentrated, turbid suspensions. This ability to measure the zeta potential of more concentrated samples than has previously been possible is thanks to the reduced optical path length of the new ZEN1010 cell, and has applications for a very wide range of materials. The application note can be downloaded at www.malvern.com/titaniumdioxide

Because of its high refractive index, titanium dioxide is widely used as a pigment in products such as paints, coatings, paper, food and cosmetics. To perform optimally, the titanium dioxide particles must be properly dispersed and maintained in suspension, and a key parameter used to study dispersion behaviour is zeta potential. This parameter is measured using the technique of laser Doppler electrophoresis, which normally requires samples to be optically clear. The new ZEN1010 cell, however, features an optical path of reduced length, which compensates for the issues of reduced light scattering detection experienced with standard cells when measuring high-concentration samples..

Although it is used in the same way as a standard cell on the Zetasizer Nano, the ZEN1010 allows robust zeta potential measurements in highly concentrated samples. By requiring less sample dilution, it more closely preserves the pH and chemical structure of the sample, for more directly relevant zeta potential measurements. This is especially important for many colloidal materials, where measuring the sample in its native state avoids the need for the often complicated centrifugation and dilution procedures needed to maintain sample integrity.

French headline unemployment jumped 52,400 in October to 2.627 million, which amounts to a 2% rise over November and a shocking 25% year over year increase. 

Workers over 50 and under 25 have been hit particularly hard. Yet apparenlt it appears difficult to know what exactly the unemployment rate is right now.

Reuters: France’s jobless data is not prepared according to the widely used International Labour Organisation standards and does not include an unemployment rate. However, it is politically significant because it is the mostly widely reported domestic jobs indicator.

Given France’s roughly 26 million-strong working population, unemployment is likely above 10%. Trading Economics puts it 10%.

More often than not, the right domain name can make or break a business. Having the best domain won’t help a horrible service too much and a good one will do alright even with a less-than-inspired domain but, on the whole, it can be a great boon to a websites success. This is why domain names sometimes fetch huge amounts of money and why the ones paying them still profit in the long run. The latest big transaction in the industry was the sale of the Russia.com domain name for a hefty $1.5 million, as the Quitura blog reports.

Apparently the domain name was sold through Sedo, a marketplace for these kind of transactions, to an anonymous buyer. It’s one of the biggest sales of the year but hardly a record breaker. Insure.com was sold last month for a very solid $16 million, one of biggest transactions in history. Other notable sales this year include Toys.com, sold for $5.1 million to the toy maker Toys ‘R’ Us, and Candy.com which sold for $3 million. Korea.com was sold earlier this year for $5 million, setting a high bar for country domain names.

Russia.com was owned by NewMedia Holdings Inc., which licensed it to Paley Media, a group which operates several sites having to do with country names. The site itself was launched in 1995 and since 2004 has been offering generic travel information for the country similar to the … (read more)

SIPOS Aktorik, specialist supplier of variable speed actuators, has marked its tenth anniversary celebrating the achievement of its international objectives for expansion. Success on the global actuation arena has included doubling workforce numbers over the last decade to a current total of 77 people, the appointment of new agents and relocation to purpose-built headquarters. In 2008, a 30% increase in sales was achieved over 2007 and, despite the worldwide economic downturn, SIPOS has maintained this turnover level through 2009.

A previous track record as part of part of Siemens gives SIPOS a history in the actuation industry dating back 100 years. Key achievements reported include differentiating the SIPOS product range with high service standards. The company has also successfully confirmed its capabilities of supporting both standard and bespoke valve applications.

Commenting on SIPOS’ global growth, Dr Matthias Rebhan, General Manager and Head of Research said:

“Over the last decade, we have established an international network of distributors in all continents. We have also relocated our German headquarters to significantly larger, state-of-the-art premises in Altdorf that offer scope for further expansion.

“Service has always been central to SIPOS’ work ethic and I would like to take the opportunity on the tenth anniversary of SIPOS Aktorik of thanking our staff and distributors for consistently ensuring the highest quality standards.”

SIPOS has set itself apart from other suppliers that support valve control applications with variable speed actuation technology. Specialist products that sit alongside SIPOS’ standard solutions are actuators for nuclear power plants and SIMA Masterstations.

Kian Abouhossein at J.P. Morgan delivers some excellent insight into the Dubai crisis. The wealthy UAE will be able to easily bail out Dubai if need be, this time. It just might not be so optimistic to do so in the future.

We are less concerned for global banks about Dubai World’s direct $59bn outstanding debt exposure with $4.3bn due to mature in Dec-09 and a further $4.9bn in 1Q10, considering “only” $13bn of syndicated loans across global banking sector based on Dealogic data. Assuming a 10% “hold” strategy, the most exposed banks would be RBS with $0.23bn, DB and CS with $0.17bn each.

…

The view from our MENA team is that this event reflects cash flow challenges rather than refinancing ability. They believe that obligations on Dubai World and its property unit Nakheel PJSC are likely to be fulfilled at the new May 2010 earliest repayment date, and that Dubai should be eventually be able to fulfill its debt obligations maturing in the short-term ($4bn in Dec-09, relating to Dubai World, and $9 to $10 in 2010) with continued Abu Dhabi support. Abu Dhabi is strong financially with fiscal and current account surpluses, ~$150bn in FX reserves and a ~$300bn sovereign wealth fund. However it seems that Abu Dhabi will no longer be happy to underwrite all debt, and rather will differentiate more strongly between supporting Dubai’s strategically important assets (such as DEWA, and Dubai Ports), and the non strategic assets – hence the concurrent timing of the Dubai World debt restructure and the Abu Dhabi underwritten government of Dubai debt raising.

Here’s one rough measure of relative bank exposure to Dubai, based on Dubai World syndicated loans since 2007. Overall, JP Morgan believes the exposures are relatively small compared with the major banks involved.

Here’s probably a better estimate of relative exposure, by loans made to the UAE as a whole. The amount of direct loan exposure to Dubai specifically, within this UAE-wide figure, are apparently very difficult to know.

Conclusions for some of the major banks exposed:

…

Overall we would argue the UAE direct loan exposure risk is to some extent over-discounted within global banks except for some selective banks. In terms of spillover effect there is a larger concern for IBs considering mark-to-market risk exposure as well as IB revenue exposure to EM, in our view. Current events considered support of our preference for quality credit exposed banks over IBs as discussed in our report “Switching preference from IBs to Credit banks on regulatory changes” 9 Sept 09. Our top picks remain: SocGen, Unicredit, BBVA, DnBNor, NBG and HSBC.

Google is hardly a typical media company despite making the vast majority of its revenue from advertising. In the past, it’s had a rather tense relationship with old media companies and traditional advertising outlets. The strategy seems to have paid off, judging by its success so far, but in recent years Google is using a softer tone and trying to work more with the establishment. In its latest peace offering, the company has pledged an unspecified amount to an initiative by the Advertising Association in the UK to rebuild public trust in advertising and advertisers, not exactly an easy task.

Advertisers are right to be worried, a recent study commissioned by the association found that under 15 percent of adults in the UK trust advertising. Some might say that this is generally a good thing and a healthy amount of skepticism is more than welcomed in a world where everyone is trying to sell you something.

Now, apart from the effect this has on the efficiency of the campaigns themselves, advertisers are even more worried that this would lead to harsher government regulation, the last thing they want. To be fair, more often than not, strict rules create more problems than they solve and the public should be trusted to be able to make its own decisions and judgments, despite countless evidence t… (read more)

The first consignment of Yale forklift trucks has been delivered to TOTAL Petrochemicals UK Ltd in Stalybridge, as part of a new contract to supply a range of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered Yale Veracitor VX counterbalance forklift trucks to assist the handling and loading of polystyrene or granules used in the manufacture of a variety of products for the Teletronics and Food Packaging industries.

Yale has been at the forefront of the development of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to power forklift trucks since the first factory manufactured truck was produced in the mid 1990s.

CNG is well established as a cleaner and safer alternative to LP gas or diesel forklift trucks. The subsequent recognition of the wider environmental issues as well as occupational health concerns and safety in the workplace, has placed greater emphasis on CNG as a viable alternative to other energy sources to power forklift trucks. TOTAL Petrochemicals has considerable experience of using Compressed Natural Gas to power Yale forklift trucks and CNG was the natural choice for the new forklift truck contract.

Yale’s new electric forklift trucks – everything’s in the right place

The new generation of Yale electric counterbalance lift trucks, the VT and VF Series, combines ergonomic excellence, class leading manoeuvrability and “e-balance”, the symmetry of energy efficiency and high productivity.

With over 100 years of experience in the design and manufacture of electric forklift trucks, few lift truck companies understand materials handling quite as well as Yale.

The launch of the next generation of 1.5 – 2.0 tonne 3 wheel (VT) and 4 wheel (VF) trucks marks a new chapter in the long tradition of Yale manufacturing electric counterbalance trucks for world markets.

Announcing the introduction of the new forklift trucks, Yale Product Manager Gaurav Anand said: “The Yale VT and VF Series delivers outstanding ergonomics and performance, resulting in the best overall energy efficiency, productivity and lowest lifetime cost of ownership, for applications where electric forklift trucks are demanded”.

Gaurav Anand explained: “The introduction of the VT and VF Series marks an unprecedented step forward in ergonomic design and operating performance for three and four wheel electric counterbalance trucks”.

“The Yale VT and VF Series offer a number of ‘firsts’ for the industry, including a four wheel truck with the smallest turning circle in each capacity, the best combination of lift and travel speeds for high productivity and the most efficient energy consumption over the VDI test cycle” commented Gaurav Anand.

Yale has an unrivalled heritage in the design and manufacture of electric counterbalance trucks and is credited with introducing the first electric powered lift truck to the European market in 1919.

Yale’s approach to the introduction of the new models has been founded on this heritage and combines this with the latest ergonomic design, efficient AC power systems and proven solid state electronic controls.
