ESCONDIDO, CA, April 25, 2013 (Press-News.org) Geo-Power System (revolutionary air conditioning system using renewable underground energy) has now officially launched in the U.S.A.
Geo Power System Co. Ltd (www.geo-power.co.jp), having their head office in Yamaguchi Japan, is very proud to announce that their first installation of this innovative renewable energy air ventilation/conditioning system is now up and running in the States.
The system is installed in the community center of Avocado Court in Escondido, CA built by a leader in green residential construction, Community Housing Works (www.chworks.org). Community Housing Works is planning the grand opening ceremony of Avocado Court, new 36-unit affordable housing complex at 215 East El Norte Parkway, Escondido CA 92026, on May 1st, 2013 at 10:00am.
Geo-Power System utilizes natural temperature differences between underground and outside air. The underground temperature below 16ft stays very consistent all year around at the average annual temperature of the location. Here in Escondido, it is about 61 degree F.
During summer time, outside hot air passes through vertically buried Geo-Pipe, which acts as a 24ft long high efficiency heat exchange device, to cool the air before being sent inside buildings. During winter time, the heat exchanger works in reverse, as cold outside air is warmed. Unlike other conventional air conditioning systems which send excessively a hot and cold air, the air come out from Geo-Power System is mild and comfortable to human body.
This particular installation includes hot water heat coil in the system. The apartment has a domestic solar hot water system and it is routed to Geo-Power System, enhancing the heating effect. During 2012-2013 winter, the room temperature was kept around 68 degree F with just Geo-Power system and heat coil in operation.
Additionally, the Geo-Pipe cleans air with controlled volume of water at the bottom. It removes more than 90% of small particles like dust and pollen. Nowadays buildings are extremely "air tight" and mechanized fresh air ventilation is essential to maintain high indoor air quality. Geo-Power System does the job with pre-condition the air temperature. Geo-Power System has a completely closed/sealed air passage so that nothing from underground soil will come into the system ensuring fresh, clean and safe air to the building interiors.
The system can be installed in most of geographic area where there are clearly four seasons. It can be installed in both new and existing buildings. For new buildings, a heat storage chamber can be placed under the building to make the system even more efficient and control temperature more consistently. The Avocado Court Installation includes a storage chamber beneath the community room.
Geo Power System Co. Ltd. is seeking for installation partners to expand the business in the States. Contact below to discuss the business partnership.
"As an unlimited resource, underground energy offers an ideal means of conserving fossil fuel-derived energy. What is more, it provides natural comfort and contributes to human health. We are committed to creating eco-friendly homes and buildings, and invite you to join us working together to do the same in the States using Geo-Power System." said Toko Hashimoto, the inventor and founder of the system.
Masanari Hashimoto, CEO of Geo Power System Co. Ltd, remarks, "The system had received many of Japan's prestigious awards including Minister of Environment award, Good design Award, Eco-Products Grand prize etc. and it has been recognized as one of a vital green technologies to cope with global warming. I hope to work with many partners providing the world the healthy living environment and a way to save energy."

Moms more likely than other employees to leave male-dominated jobs with long hours
2013-04-24
As demands for long work hours continue to increase, an Indiana University study found that mothers are more likely than other employees to leave jobs in male-dominated fields. This trend was not seen in balanced or female-dominated occupations.
"Mothers were 52 percent more likely than other women to leave their jobs if they were working a 50-hour week or more, but only in occupations dominated by men," said Youngjoo Cha, assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at IU Bloomington. "Many of these are lucrative fields, such as law, medicine, finance and engineering." ...
Achilles tendon injuries more likely in male 'Weekend Warriors' than others
2013-04-24
Los Angeles, CA (April 23, 2013) -- Male athletes are the group most likely to tear their Achilles tendon, according to a new study published in the April 2013 issue of Foot & Ankle International (FAI), A SAGE journal. The activity most likely to cause the injury was basketball, and NBA players such as Kobe Bryant have been in the news lately for this exact injury.
Drs. Steven Raikin, David Garras and Philip Krapchev reviewed 406 records from patients at one clinic diagnosed with Achilles tendon injuries from August 2000 and December 2010. The average age was 46 years ...
Drug therapy offers high cure rate for 2 hepatitis C subtypes
2013-04-24
A new drug is offering dramatic cure rates for hepatitis C patients with two subtypes of the infection -- genotype 2 and 3, say a team of scientists led by Weill Cornell Medical College researchers. These two subtypes account for approximately 25 percent of hepatitis C infection in the United States.
The drug, called sofosbuvir, offers more effective treatment for most patients studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial who had no other treatment options, report researchers in The New England Journal of Medicine. After three months of combined therapy with sofosbuvir and the ...

An ACE in the hole for hypertension
There are multiple environmental triggers that contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension), including aging, obesity, stress, alcohol intake, and excess dietary salt; however, the physiological mechanisms that are regulated by these triggers are not fully understood. Blood pressure is controlled in part by the renin angiotensin system (RAS), which manages the release of the hormone angiotensin to control blood vessel constriction. ACE is an enzyme that converts angiotensin to its active form, Ang II, and ACE inhibitors are commonly ...
A potential biomarker for pregnancy-associated heart disease?
2013-04-24
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a deterioration in cardiac function that occurs in pregnant women during the last month or in the months following their pregnancy. This disorder can occur in women with no prior history of heart disease and the causes are not well understood. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Ingrid Struman and colleagues at the University of Liege in Liege, Belgium, identified a molecule, miR-146a, that can serve as a biomarker for peripartum cardiomyopathy. Struman and colleagues found that expression of miR-146a was induced by ...
No rebirth for insulin secreting pancreatic beta cells
2013-04-24
Pancreatic beta cells store and release insulin, the hormone responsible for stimulating cells to convert glucose to energy. The number of beta cells in the pancreas increases in response to greater demand for insulin or injury, but it is not clear if the new beta cells are the result of cell division or the differentiation of a precursor cell, a process known as neogenesis. Knowledge of how beta cells are created and maintained is critical to understanding diseases in which these cells are lost, such as diabetes. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, ...
Firefly protein lights up degenerating muscles, aiding muscular-dystrophy research
2013-04-24
STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford University School of Medicine scientists have created a mouse model of muscular dystrophy in which degenerating muscle tissue gives off visible light.
The observed luminescence occurs only in damaged muscle tissue and in direct proportion to cumulative damage sustained in that tissue, permitting precise monitoring of the disease's progress in the mice, the researchers say.
While this technique cannot be used in humans, it paves the way to quicker, cheaper and more accurate assessment of the efficacy of therapeutic drugs. The new mouse strain ...
Odd experiments by 'America's first physiologist' shed light on digestion
2013-04-24
BOSTON—A fur trader who suffered an accidental gunshot wound in 1822 and the physician who saw this unfortunate incidence as an opportunity for research are key to much of our early knowledge about the workings of the digestive system, say speakers of an upcoming symposium.

Tinkerbella nana -- a new representative from the world of fairyflies
2013-04-24
Mymaridae, commonly known as fairyflies, are one of about 18 families of chalcid wasps. Fairyflies occur worldwide, except in Antarctica. They include the world's smallest known winged insect - Kikiki huna, the body length of which is only 155 μm, and the smallest known adult insect – the wingless male of Dicopomorpha echmepterygis which is only 130 μm. Although fairyflies are among the most common chalcid wasps, they are seldomly noticed by humans because of their minute size. Their apparent invisibility, gracile bodies and delicate wings with long fringes resembling ...
