Continuing education is a means of promoting technological development in an enterprise. In the past ten years, Wuhan Iron and Steel Company (WISCO) has achieved significant success in this field. From 1986 to 1990, WISCO ran 573 seminars and classes for advanced studies. Participating specialized staff totalled 18 302. In that period, 127 research projects produced successful results, and 85 of them led to instant economic benefits amounting to 38.46 million Yuan. Li Yunzu describes WISCO's approach to continuing education. He stresses the importance of focusing continuing education programmes on the economic development of the enterprise. Full consideration should be given to seminars and advanced courses on special topics, the development of new technology and improving the quality of employees. It is also necessary to establish a pattern of continuing education that integrates education, research and production.

For The First 40+ Years, Folding Rulers, Tape Measures, And Black And White Photography Were The Standard Tools Of The Trade For Collision Reconstruction Engineers. Armed With These Tools, Engineers Collected As Much Data As Possible In Order To Evaluate A Collision Sequence. Then, And Still True Today, The Quality Of The Data Collected Directly Affects The Accuracy And The Depth Of The Analysis. However, Conventional Data Collection Tools Limited The Quality Of The Recorded Data. Typical Problems Encountered In The Past By Collision Reconstruction Engineers Included The Difficulty Associated With Re-Creating Realistic Representations Of The Collision Area And Vehicle(S), As Well As Performing Diagnostic Examinations Of Vehicles And Measuring Roadway Curvature, Elevations, Roadway Friction Factors, Illumination Levels, And Vehicle Dimensions. New Technology Has Provided Forensic Engineers With The Tools To Address These, And Other Reconstruction Needs. Through The Utilization Of Cutting-Edge Laser Scanning Technology, Engineers Can Now Collect Numerous Measurements Cost-Effectively, With Unprecedented Accuracy, At The Speed Of (Laser) Light. This New Technology Has The Ability To Rapidly Advance The Field Of Forensic Engineering, Not Just In The Area Of Collision Reconstruction, But In Any Discipline That Requires Precision Measurements.

When one considers the changes that have occurred in trends of perinatal mortality or the proportion of severe handicap in infants or adults in most Western countries in the past 20 years, there has been a profound change in the prognosis for life and for long-term sequelae after perinatal distress. The technical reasons for this extraordinary progress are straightforward. But it is much more difficult to Understand the profound effects on the quality of the lives that have come into being as a result of these advances. Indeed, it is hard to assess the precise consequences directly related to the new technology, as opposed to effects related to the long separation of mother and child after an abnormal birth and in pathologic states of the newborn.

In the past several decades,ceramic has been serving as a kind of traditional material which is wildly used in high-tech areas such as industry,electronics,military,etc. This essay aims to study the re-design of ceramic products. It starts with the introduction of ceramic characteristics and makes a detail discussion combined with Chinese thousands of years of cultural accumulation. This essay emphasizes the significance of ceramic re-design from three main aspects: the quality of special ceramic material, cultural characteristics and economic characteristics of ceramic. Meanwhile,it makes a point through analyzing the typical re-design cases thoroughly. Ceramic product re-design can not only revitalize current ceramic industry effectively,but also greatly increase the economic benefits. Consequently,''Design in China'' is bound to infuse fresh vigor and vitality into ceramic industry.

Over 150 years ago engineers dealt with the technological development of heavy industry and its organization to meet society needs. During the past 25 years the issue of reducing environmental impact from technology has opened new engineering challenges. One is the modal shift from trucks on roads to trucks being loaded on coastal ships. Industry, technology and society has created a number of possibilities for realizing the modal shift. The pressure of economics is forcing the industry to seek cost reduction while the technology of high speed marine transport is developing to the point where a number of high speed ships can be utilized. Finally the social concerns of the environment and air pollution is impacting the expansion of current truck operations. The presentation shows the modal shift offers both economic benefits as well as reduction of the environmental impact.

The article analyzes the main shortcomings and mistakes carried out in the past three decades of reform in the management of Russian scientific and technological complex, which led to the chronic underfunding of science, reducing the scientific and technological potential, the systemic gap between science and production. As a result, our science is no longer a leading productive force for the dynamic development of the country, its global competitiveness and security. The author considers the main directions of improvement of public administration system for scientific and technological development that can bring this process to a higher level of quality.

The current stage of political, economic and social development is characterized by the active introduction of digital technologies, which have become an integral part of society. The education sector has not been on the sidelines. Today, the field of education, including professional, includes the use of various electronic media and resources. The need to build a digital educational space is determined by a series of factors, among which the development of the digital economy and its requirements for the training of specialists predominate. Digital technology has transformed learning and teaching. At the center of the modern stage of technological development for the foreseeable future, smart technologies will continue to play a dominant role. The purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of digital technology on the quality of training of students in continuing education courses. A study among students of continuing education courses has established the impact of digital technology on the quality of training of students of continuing education courses. The essence of digitization in education is highlighted in the article, the details of the digital presentation of information are determined, the characteristics of the implementation of digital technologies are revealed, and their capabilities are noted.

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
