OREM, UT, April 21, 2014 (Press-News.org) Agilix Labs, Inc. announced today, at the ASU+GSV Education Innovation Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona, the availability of the Agilix Buzz application. Personalized Learning solutions built upon Agilix BuzzTM and Agilix xLiTM support a wide range of learning models - including: virtual, blended, competency and mastery-based - from individual classrooms to School District and State-Wide adoptions.
Agilix BuzzTM is a flexible, modular, customizable, and scalable Personalized Learning Application designed to be branded and integrated by partners who need to deliver proven personalized learning solutions now. Agilix uniquely delivers solutions built on Agilix xLiTM exclusively through strategic partners and doesn't compete with them in selling to institutions. Agilix BuzzTM has been successfully proven in pilot projects serving 11,000 students in 15 schools throughout Michigan during the 2013-2014 school year - with a majority of students realizing two years of growth in one school year.
"Unlike many existing education applications, Agilix BuzzTM was built from the ground up with an explicit focus on the requirements of its partners to make complete Personalized Learning solutions work effectively and at scale," said Curt Allen, CEO of Agilix Labs Inc. "It motivates students with learning choices and real-time progress feedback and provides teachers with a radar screen that shows real-time progress and pace for each student to support prescriptive guidance based upon individual needs."
Agilix agrees with Stacey Childress, the Gates Foundation's Deputy Director of Education, that "Personalized Learning will go mainstream" in 2014 and her vision of the future in which:
"On any day of the year, students will be able to see how they are doing, where they want to be, and how they might get there. They will feel ownership of their learning and motivated to succeed. They will collaborate and connect with their peers in ways that reflect how they live now and how they will work in the future." (EdSurge, Jan. 1, 2014)
"We believed that all learning will eventually be Personalized Learning," said Curt Allen, CEO of Agilix Labs, Inc. "By leveraging Agilix BuzzTM, our strategic partners can deliver effective Personalized Learning solutions at scale now."
This version of Agilix BuzzTM is built on the Agilix xLiTM platform and leverages modern technologies like Google's AngularJS framework and node.js. This upgrade significantly improves the productivity and speed for partners in delivering unique solutions that are customized to meet the exacting needs of their end user customers. The application is designed to support age-appropriate user interfaces for K-12 learners and supports mobile devices, including Google Chromebooks, Android Tablets, Apple iPads, smartphones, and other form factors.
Agilix is available to demonstrate the Agilix BuzzTM and discuss with strategic partners how it can be successfully integrated into their branded Personalized Learning solutions. The company may be contacted at sales@agilix.com or through the company web site: www.agilix.com.

Why Consumers Pay More for Organic Foods? Fear Sells and Marketers Know it
2014-04-21
An extensive review of more than 200 published academic, industry and government research reports into why consumers adopt organic product purchasing behaviors was conducted by Academics Review - a non-profit led by independent academic experts in agriculture and food sciences. This review was then supplemented with an assessment of more than 1,000 news reports, 500 website and social media account evaluations and reviews of hundreds of other marketing materials, advertisements, analyst presentations, speeches and advocacy reports generated between 1988 and 2014. Our findings ...

Space-tested Fluid Flow Concept Advances Infectious Disease Diagnoses
2014-04-21
A new medical-testing device is being prepped to enter the battle against infectious disease. This instrument could improve diagnosis of certain diseases in remote areas, thanks in part to knowledge gained from a series of investigations aboard the International Space Station on the behavior of liquids. The device uses the space-tested concept of capillary flow to diagnose infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
David Kelso, Ph.D., a researcher at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., had been working for several years to develop a simple, inexpensive ...

UCSF study finds codeine often prescribed to children, despite available alternatives
2014-04-21
Despite its potentially harmful effects in children, codeine continues to be prescribed in U.S. emergency rooms, according to new research from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco.
As reported in the May issue of Pediatrics, solutions include changing provider prescription behaviors to promote the use of better alternatives to codeine, such as ibuprofen or hydrocodone.
"Despite strong evidence against the use of codeine in children, the drug continues to be prescribed to large numbers of them each year," said Sunitha Kaiser, MD, UCSF assistant clinical professor ...
Airport security officers at TSA gaining insight from Sandia human behavior studies
2014-04-21
LIVERMORE, Calif.— A recent Sandia National Laboratories study offers insight into how a federal transportation security officer's thought process can influence decisions made during airport baggage screening, findings that are helping the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) improve the performance of its security officers.
The TSA-funded project, led by Sandia researchers Ann Speed and Kiran Lakkaraju, focused on the impacts on threat detection when transportation security officers are asked to switch between the pre-check (indicated by TSA as TSA Pre✓) ...
Low tolerance for pain? The reason may be in your genes
2014-04-20
PHILADELPHIA – Researchers may have identified key genes linked to why some people have a higher tolerance for pain than others, according to a study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 26 to May 3, 2014.
"Our study is quite significant because it provides an objective way to understand pain and why different individuals have different pain tolerance levels," said study author Tobore Onojjighofia, MD, MPH, with Proove Biosciences and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. "Identifying ...
'Chaperone' compounds offer new approach to Alzheimer's treatment
2014-04-20
NEW YORK, NY (April 20, 2014) — A team of researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Weill Cornell Medical College, and Brandeis University has devised a wholly new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease involving the so-called retromer protein complex. Retromer plays a vital role in neurons, steering amyloid precursor protein (APP) away from a region of the cell where APP is cleaved, creating the potentially toxic byproduct amyloid-beta, which is thought to contribute to the development of Alzheimer's.
Using computer-based virtual screening, ...
Bulletproof nuclei? Stem cells exhibit unusual absorption property
2014-04-20
Stem cells – the body's master cells – demonstrate a bizarre property never before seen at a cellular level, according to a study published today from scientists at the University of Cambridge. The property – known as auxeticity – is one which may have application as wide-ranging as soundproofing, super-absorbent sponges and bulletproof vests.
Most materials when stretched will contract. For example, if one pulls on an elastic band, the elastic itself will get thinner. The opposite is also true: squeeze a material and it will expand – for example, if one squeezes a tennis ...
Computational method dramatically speeds up estimates of gene expression
2014-04-20
PITTSBURGH—With gene expression analysis growing in importance for both basic researchers and medical practitioners, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Maryland have developed a new computational method that dramatically speeds up estimates of gene activity from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data.
With the new method, dubbed Sailfish after the famously speedy fish, estimates of gene expression that previously took many hours can be completed in a few minutes, with accuracy that equals or exceeds previous methods. The researchers' report on their ...
