Truck Owners Embrace the Arrival of a New Approach to Truck Boxes

Truck boxes company reveals first examples of patented technology.

2014-03-10

TEA, SD, March 10, 2014 (Press-News.org) Durable truck boxes are a necessary investment for truck owners who want to prevent their gear from being stolen or damaged, and BackAlley Accessories demonstrated it has big plans for its patented load-and-lock system by introducing the Sidekick Line, a new line of truck boxes that sets the standard for quality and ease of use.

With two seven-inch, durable, non-marring rubber wheels, the Sidekick Line truck boxes are a triumph of ergonomics, as they can be wheeled around easily with minimal effort. In addition, BackAlley's boxes attach to truck beds via a self-aligning, sliding lock mechanism that holds them fast and releases them at the push of a button.

The easy load-and-lock action of the boxes allows them to quickly slide to the edge of an open tailgate at the push of a button. The tailgate can then be used as a pivot point, allowing for the use of simple physics to ease even the heaviest and most fragile equipment to the ground. From there, it is a matter of merely lifting up the handle and carting the equipment easily and safely to a hunt or a job site.

BackAlley Accessories products are made in the USA from tough, rust-resistant .125-gauge aluminum diamond plate, and are precision-welded by high-tech welding robots. The seven-inch non-marring rubber wheels, like the rest of the materials, are water and weather-resistant, and are designed to be reliable even after spending time in the elements.

Currently there are two variations of the Sidekick Line: the Sportsman Model 55 and the Contractor Model 55, both of which are available for purchase via the company's website, www.baaccessories.com. The Bright Aluminum Contractor Model 55 is priced at $750 and pricing for the Sportsman Model 55, which varies by color, starts at $800.

The Sidekick Line is the first of a planned many accessories that will make use of the company's patented load-and-lock technology, as it plans to be a reliable part of work routines and hunting trips for years to come.

BackAlley Accessories is a vehicle accessories manufacturer based in Tea, SD. Founded in 2009, BackAlley Accessories was formed out of the need to better engineer the standard crossover toolbox, which had seen few upgrades over the years.

Targeted drug may prolong survival of patients with cervical cancer

2014-03-10

A new clinical study has found that erlotinib, a targeted antitumor agent, has promising potential to improve treatment for cervical cancer. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the results indicate that larger trials are warranted to determine whether the drug should become part of standard therapy for women with the disease. Nearly half a million new cases of cervical cancer are reported worldwide each year, making it the third most common cancer among females. Despite the widespread use of screening programs and ...

More than just bacteria: The importance of microbial diversity in gut health and disease

2014-03-10

(March 10, 2014) The gut microbiota contains a vast number of microorganisms from all three domains of life, including bacteria, archaea and fungi, as well as viruses. These interact in a complex way to contribute towards both health and the development of disease — interactions that are only now being elucidated thanks to the application of advanced DNA sequencing technology in this field. "Using novel metagenomic approaches, scientists are at last beginning to characterize the taxonomic abundance and community relationships not only of bacteria, but also the other ...

IBS and bloating: When the gut microbiota gets out of balance

2014-03-10

(March 10, 2014) Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) belongs to the most widespread diseases in Western countries, causing up to sixty per cent of the workload of gastrointestinal physicians. One of the most frequent symptoms of IBS is bloating, which reduces quality of life considerably as patients perceive it as particularly bothersome. For quite a long time, IBS was believed to be a primarily psychological condition. "Contrary to this view, recent findings suggest that IBS is linked to clearly detectable gut microbiota alterations. Additionally, bloating can be related ...

Mapping the behavior of charges in correlated spin-orbit coupled materials

2014-03-10

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (March 10, 2014) – In a relatively recently discovered class of materials, known as spin-orbit Mott insulators, theorists have predicted the emergence of new properties at points just beyond the insulating state, when electronic manipulation can transform these compounds into conducting metals. A better understanding of electrons near this transition, theorists have predicted, could allow these new Mott insulators to pave the way to discoveries in superconductivity, new topological phases of matter, and new forms of unusual magnetism. What scientists ...

Farm salmon pose clear reproductive threat to wild gene pools

2014-03-10

Farmed salmon show full reproductive potential to invade wild gene pools and should be sterilised - according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). Findings published today reveal that, while farmed salmon are genetically different to their wild counterparts, they are just as fertile. This is important information because millions of farmed salmon escape into the wild – posing threats to wild gene pools. Lead Researcher Prof Matt Gage from UEA's school of Biological Sciences said: "Around 95 per cent of all salmon in existence are farmed, and domestication ...

UEA research reveals 4 new man-made gases in the atmosphere

2014-03-09

Scientists at the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases in the atmosphere – all of which are contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer. New research published today in the journal Nature Geoscience reveals that more than 74,000 tonnes of three new chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one new hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) have been released into the atmosphere. Scientists made the discovery by comparing today's air samples with air trapped in polar firn snow – which provides a century-old natural archive of the atmosphere. They also looked ...

Mutations in leukemia gene linked to new childhood growth disorder

2014-03-09

Mutations in a gene associated with leukaemia cause a newly described condition that affects growth and intellectual development in children, new research reports. A study led by scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, identified mutations in the DNA methyltransferase gene, DNMT3A, in 13 children. All the children were taller than usual for their age, shared similar facial features and had intellectual disabilities. The mutations were not present in their parents, nor in 1,000 controls from the UK population. The new condition has been called 'DNMT3A ...

First animals oxygenated the ocean, study suggests

2014-03-09

The evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated the earth's oceans – contrary to the traditional view that a rise in oxygen triggered their development. New research led by the University of Exeter contests the long held belief that oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans was a pre-requisite for the evolution of complex life forms. The study, published today in the leading journal Nature Geoscience, builds on the recent work of scientists in Denmark who found that sponges – the first animals to evolve – require only small amounts of oxygen. Professor Tim ...
