RICHMOND, VA, June 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) AgilQuest Corporation announced today the availability of a new version of OnBoard, their workplace management technology, which connects office space management efficiencies to the energy savings of intelligent buildings. The combination yields large savings from real estate reduction, additional savings from energy reduction, and increased worker happiness by removing virtually all manual effort.
Current intelligent building systems save energy by turning off unneeded lights and HVAC service, but cannot maximize savings as they don't know who is present and where people are working today. AgilQuest's OnBoard office hoteling and conference room reservation system knows where each worker will be working and meeting on any given day. By integrating with building systems, OnBoard's Smart Buildings unlocks the energy savings available in even the most dynamic, hour-by-hour situations and reduces worker effort by detecting presence via turnstiles, badge systems, and online check in.
Demonstrating their leadership and vision in the federal government workplace, the General Services Administration upgraded their headquarters installation to connect their Smart Occupancy program with these new Smart Buildings capabilities to maximize efficiency and support for their workforce. After successful deployment at GSA, John Vivadelli, CEO of AgilQuest, said "Leveraging OnBoard 5.5.1 and our expertise, AgilQuest now delivers a two-way integration between Smart Occupancy and Smart Building technologies. This first of its kind capability provides operational control of systems such as lighting, HVAC, and security based on actual occupancy to dramatically increase sustainability by reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint."
GSA has rebranded AgilQuest's OnBoard internally as "Book-It", added AgilQuest technologies to their intelligent buildings framework, and made Smart Occupancy the core of their workplace protocols.

Free Divorce Seminars Set for Late June in Six Massachusetts Locations
2013-06-20
Starting next week, leading family law attorneys from the Massachusetts Family Law Group will conduct a series of two-hour seminars teaching men and women how to properly plan and prepare for the "harsh reality of divorce."
Each seminar will give participants a roadmap of the divorce process and focus on the most crucial issues in a typical divorce case - child support and alimony, custody and parenting plans, property division and allocation of debt. With 20 attorneys and well over 100 years of combined legal experience, this "brain trust of Massachusetts ...

Parasites affect the food web more than you think, UCSB researchers say
2013-06-19
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Parasites are ubiquitous. They feed on virtually every animal and even on each other. Yet, for all the parasites' collective contributions to biomass and biodiversity, conventional food webs don't account for the presence of these tiny and numerous consumers. A recent study featuring work by several UC Santa Barbara scientists focuses on the impact parasites have on food webs, with findings that are expected to alter our picture of who-eats-who. The paper, "Parasites Affect Food Web Structure Primarily through Increased Diversity and Complexity," ...
Timely treatment after stroke is crucial, UCLA researchers report
2013-06-19
For years, the mantra of neurologists treating stroke victims has been "time equals brain." That's because getting a patient to the emergency room quickly to receive a drug that dissolves the stroke-causing blood clot can make a significant difference in how much brain tissue is saved or lost.
But specific information has been limited on just how the timing of giving the intravenous drug — known as a tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA — influences outcomes for victims of ischemic (clot-caused), stroke, the most common type of stroke.
Now, a team led by UCLA researchers ...
New Alzheimer's research suggests possible cause: The interaction of proteins in the brain
2013-06-19
PORTLAND, Ore. — For years, Alzheimer's researchers have focused on two proteins that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's and may contribute to the disease: plaques made up of the protein amyloid-beta, and tangles of another protein, called tau.
But for the first time, an Alzheimer's researcher has looked closely at not the two proteins independently, but at the interaction of the two proteins with each other — in the brain tissue of post-mortem Alzheimer's patients and in mouse brains with Alzheimer's disease. The research found that the interaction between ...
Making memories: Practical quantum computing moves closer to reality
2013-06-19
Researchers at the University of Sydney and Dartmouth College have developed a new way to design quantum memory, bringing quantum computers a step closer to reality. The results will appear June 19 in the journal Nature Communications.
Quantum computing may revolutionize information processing, by providing a means to solve problems too complex for traditional computers, with applications in code breaking, materials science and physics. But figuring out how to engineer such a machine, including vital subsystems like quantum memory, remains elusive.
In the worldwide ...
Detour ahead: Cities, farms reroute animals seeking cooler climes
2013-06-19
In spite of considerable human development, the southeastern United States region could provide some of the Western Hemisphere's more heavily used thoroughfares for mammals, birds and amphibians on their way to cooler environments in a warming world, according to new research led by the University of Washington.
The region is among half a dozen areas that could experience heavier traffic compared with the average species-movement across the Western Hemisphere in response to a warming climate. The estimate in southeastern states, for example, is up to 2.5 times the average ...
Validating maps of the brain's resting state
2013-06-19
Kick back and shut your eyes. Now stop thinking.
You have just put your brain into what neuroscientists call its resting state. What the brain is doing when an individual is not focused on the outside world has become the focus of considerable research in recent years. One of the potential benefits of these studies could be definitive diagnoses of mental health disorders ranging from bipolar to post-traumatic stress disorders.
For the last decade, neuroscientists have been using the non-invasive brain-mapping technique functional called magnetic resonance imaging or ...
Laughing gas does not increase heart attacks
2013-06-19
Nitrous oxide — best known as laughing gas — is one of the world's oldest and most widely used anesthetics. Despite its popularity, however, experts have questioned its impact on the risk of a heart attack during surgery or soon afterward. But those fears are unfounded, a new study indicates.
The findings by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will appear in the July issue of the journal Anesthesiology.
"It's been known for quite a while that laughing gas inactivates vitamin B12 and, by doing so, increases blood levels of the amino acid ...
What do memories look like?
2013-06-19
Oscar Wilde called memory "the diary that we all carry about with us." Now a team of scientists has developed a way to see where and how that diary is written.
The team, led by Don Arnold and Richard Roberts of USC, engineered microscopic probes that light up synapses in a living neuron in real time by attaching fluorescent markers onto synaptic proteins – all without affecting the neuron's ability to function.
The fluorescent markers allow scientists to see live excitatory and inhibitory synapses for the first time – and, importantly, how they change as new memories ...
