Ferman Nissan In Tampa Notes The 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo's North American Debut

The 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO is the fastest generation that's ever been built.

2014-03-17

TAMPA, FL, March 17, 2014 (Press-News.org) Usain Bolt, Jamaican sprinter and world's fastest man, (1) was on hand to help launch the 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO at the Los Angeles Auto Show. And as fast as he is, he couldn't compete with the 600 hp produced under the hood of the fastest GT-R ever built. (2)

NISMO is Nissan's team of motorsports specialists, and they've created the ultimate GT-R for 2015. The car will be on sale in the US -- and at Tampa dealerships -- later in 2014. (2) In the meantime, there are plenty of impressive stats to relish.

The 3.8-liter V6 starts as the same engine under the hood of every GT-R. However, this version has high flow, large diameter turbochargers and individual ignition timing control for each cylinder, plus an upgraded fuel pump, which all adds up to 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque. (2) NISMO's racing experience led the team to develop aerodynamics for the GT-R that generate an additional 100 kg of downforce at 300 km/h (that's 186 mph). (2)

The chassis has to handle all that power without shaking to pieces, which means both adhesive bonding and spot welding are used to increase rigidity for precise handling. The springs and custom Bilstein DampTronic dampers are tuned to maximize grip without compromising comfort. There are also three suspension modes so Tampa Nissan drivers can select the most appropriate for wherever they are: Comfort, Normal, and R for the track. (2) When the GT-R NISMO becomes available later this year, test these modes -- safely -- for yourself at Ferman Nissan of Tampa.

Many parents have infant-feeding, TV, and activity practices which may increase obesity risk

2014-03-17

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Most of the parents included in a new study reported some infant feeding and activity behaviors that are believed to increase a child's risk for obesity later in life. The study found that many of these "obesogenic" behaviors were highly prevalent among all of the parents, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Black parents were more likely to put children to bed with a bottle and report TV watching, while Hispanic parents were more likely to encourage children to finish feeding and to report less "tummy time" – when a baby lays on her belly to play ...

Study: Colon cancer incidence rates decreasing steeply in older Americans

2014-03-17

WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 17, 2014–Colon cancer incidence rates have dropped 30 percent in the U.S. in the last 10 years among adults 50 and older due to the widespread uptake of colonoscopy, with the largest decrease in people over age 65. Colonoscopy use has almost tripled among adults ages 50 to 75, from 19 percent in 2000 to 55 percent in 2010. The findings come from Colorectal Cancer Statistics, 2014, published in the March/April issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.

Study identifies most common, costly reasons for mental health hospitalizations for kids

2014-03-17

Nearly one in 10 children are hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of a mental health condition, and depression alone accounts for $1.33 billion in hospital charges annually, according to a new analysis led by UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. The study is the first to examine frequency and costs associated with specific inpatient mental health diagnoses for children, and is a step towards creating meaningful measures of the quality of pediatric hospital care. "This is the first paper to give a clear picture of the mental health reasons kids are admitted to hospitals ...

Major 'third-hand smoke' compound causes DNA damage -- and potentially cancer

2014-03-17

DALLAS, March 16, 2014 — Leftover cigarette smoke that clings to walls and furniture is a smelly nuisance, but now research suggests that it could pose a far more serious threat, especially to young children who put toys and other smoke-affected items into their mouths. Scientists reported today that one compound from this "third-hand smoke," which forms when second-hand smoke reacts with indoor air, damages DNA and sticks to it in a way that could potentially cause cancer. Their talk was one of more than 10,000 presentations at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition ...

Three-quarters of people with seasonal and pandemic flu have no symptoms

2014-03-17

Around 1 in 5 of the population were infected in both recent outbreaks of seasonal flu and the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, but just 23% of these infections caused symptoms, and only 17% of people were ill enough to consult their doctor. These findings come from a major new community-based study comparing the burden and severity of seasonal and pandemic influenza in England over 5 years, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal. "Reported cases of influenza represent the tip of a large clinical and subclinical iceberg that is mainly invisible to national ...

Potentially safer, greener alternative to BPA could come from papermaking waste

2014-03-16

DALLAS, March 16, 2014 — A waste product from making paper could yield a safer, greener alternative to the potentially harmful chemical BPA, now banned from baby bottles but still used in many plastics. Scientists made the BPA alternative from lignin, the compound that gives wood its strength, and they say it could be ready for the market within five years. They described the research here today in one of the more than 10,000 presentations at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, taking ...
