Process Seatvo “82 Itfooks like an ordinary weekday in Mexico City: buses and the subway are packed; there is trafic noise, pollution, queues, impatience, stress. People eat tacos at road corners. But take a second look and i is fr from normal. Many people stil wear masks. Few walk hand- inchand or kiss. In lits, everyone is suspicious of one another. Its impossible to tell who carries the influenza virus that is now known to have led to more than 40 deaths and infected more 1,000 people in recent weeks. After several days of sort of voluntary house arrest, people have started getting back out in numbers onto the streets of the capital. The "pseudo-quarantine” is over, but is Mexico getting back to normal? “Of course itis, dont you see the drug gangs have started kiling people again?" a smiling man told the BBC while rushing to catch the green man sign at a road crossing. Despite the light-hearted mood, many wonder how long this "normality" will have to co-exist with restrictions that aim to eliminate the virus. The tourist sector, restaurants, cinemas and sports arenas are not the only tones that have been affected. Many people who work in the informal or black economy saw their income vanish ovemight. "Im happy that | have work again,” said Enrique Landeros, who sells tacos at one of Mexico City’s metro stations. ‘The Mexican govemment alowed businesses to start re-opening, with restrictions on bars, theatres, sports arenas and football stadiums. University and high schools students could go back to class, although younger pups have another few days off ‘nti their schools can re-open. Most of Mexico City’s 35,000 restaurants are open again, but with only half of their previous capacity. This is due to an official recommendation to Keep a gap of at least 2.5m between tables. The measure was labeled as “impractical” by many businessmen, “We lost almost 100% of our sales ‘and we have to pay the rent, the employees, the suppliers," said Alexandro Franco, who owns the Non Solo restaurant in Mexico City. "Its good to re-open, but this is only a paliatve.” According to the new rules, waiters must clean the tables, the menus and the salt and pepper containers after each ‘customer. They must not lend their pens to anyone and are expected to wash their hands constantly. "We'll do our best {o follow all the rules, but we cannot tum waiters into doctors who are about to start surgery,” says Francisco Mijares, president of the naional restaurants’ association, ‘Some people think Mexico will never be the same, The government remains cautious, although it has alowed ise to show a litle opimism. Health Seoretary Jose Angel Cordova sai that the threat of new deaths had diminished - most of them happened before 29 Apri. But he stopped shor of saying the disease is under control. “Speaking of control means not having a single case in at least 15 days,” he said. President Felipe Calderon echoed his health secretary's ‘comments, saying “is not time to shout victory orto say thatthe luis under control and over’ Even when Mexico emerges from the immediate crisis, the epidemic will have a lasting impact on the people and the economy. Many jobs have been lost and will not easily be recreated as the epidemic has coincided with the biggest global economic downtum for a generation. However, most analysts believe that there willbe along, sow, steady recovery - but only as long as the virus does not return.

Textil ‘Arnew type of air-ueled battery being studied Could provide up to 10 times the energy storage of designs currently available, and someday be used to power electric cars, mobile phones, and laptops, say researchers. “Our results so far are very encouraging and have fat exceeded our expectations,” said professor Peter Bruce, of the University of St Andrews’ chemistry department ‘The new idea the researchers are examining is to replace the lthium cobalt oxide electrode in today's rechargeable lithium batteries with a porous carbon electrode. This allows lithium ions and electrons in the cel to react instead with oxygen in the ambient ai. According to the researchers, the new design could potentially improve the performance of portable electronic devices and provide a big boost to the renewable-energy industry. The researchers see a scenario in which the batteries will enable a constant electrical output from sources such as wind or solar. Also the STAIR (St. Andrews Air) cell could help power electric cars, The STAIR cellis expected to be cheaper than rechargeable batteries of today, the researchers said, The new component is made of porous carbon, which is much less expensive than the lithium cobalt oxide it would be replacing. “The key is to use oxygen in the air as a reagent, rather than cary the necessary chemicals around inside the battery," Bruce said. The four-year research project began two years ago and is ‘scheduled to end in June 2011. Bruce expects it wil be at least five years before the STAIR cell is commercially available. ‘Source: CNET News itipinews.one.comy, May2008) 518, Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? a) The new type of battery will probably be more Presto Seo 7082 19.
