DALLAS, TX, February 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Dallas Police Department will get some surveillance assistance monitoring Super Bowl XLV parties and activities in and around Dallas this weekend.
Dallas-based TerraHawk, LLC , at the request of Dallas Police, will provide their M.U.S.T. unit, outfitted with the latest thermal and digital recording devices, to monitor and patrol various activities and parties slated for the downtown area.
Designed for ease of deployment during crowd control or emergency situations, TerraHawk's M.U.S.T. (mobile utility surveillance tower) allows occupants a 360 degree view of crowds from a 25-foot elevated platform.
The elevated vantage point of the surveillance module, which also serves as a command center, is allowing DPD the ability to dispatch ground forces to security threats while monitoring and recording situations for evidence retention.
Because the mobile rapid response unit is capable of quickly moving with changing situations, police agencies across the nation have found the two-minute deployment of the M.U.S.T. more convenient and easier to use than other trailer-mounted towers. With winter weather affecting traffic mobility in the Dallas area, the four wheel drive capability of the M.U.S.T. unit is proving to be another practical asset for Dallas Police officers to use during Super Bowl XLV.
TerraHawk, LLC is the only company in the United States patented to manufacture a vehicle for deploying a surveillance module.
TerraHawk, LLC., is the manufacturer of Rapid Response Surveillance Vehicles. For further information or to see a video demonstration, please contact 214-366-2508 or visit on the web at www.terrahawkllc.com

Online Market Experts: "Binary Options to Replace Online Forex Trading Within the Next Two Years"
2011-02-06
Banc De Binary (www.bbinary.com) is riding high, with a company value that has nearly tripled within the past year. As the largest binary options investment house prepares to announce its new platform additions later this month we asked two analysts to weigh in on whether the company can make good on the market's enthusiastic expectations. Here's what they had to say:
Greg Hopkins, Economist, WebValue Experts: "Banc De Binary has taken the online trading field past its given potential. When we sat with the company's board about a year ago, we figured it would eat away ...
Seeing the light: Berkeley Lab scientists bring plasmonic nanofields into focus
2011-02-05
In typical plasmonic devices, electromagnetic waves crowd into tiny metal structures, concentrating energy into nanoscale dimensions. Due to coupling of electronics and photonics in these metal nanostructures, plasmonic devices could be harnessed for high-speed data transmission or ultrafast detector arrays. However, studying plasmonic fields in nanoscale devices presents a real roadblock for scientists, as examining these structures inherently alters their behavior.
"Whether you use a laser or a light bulb, the wavelength of light is still too large to study plasmonic ...
Arctic fisheries' catches 75 times higher than previous reports: UBC research
2011-02-05
University of British Columbia researchers estimate that fisheries catches in the Arctic totaled 950,000 tonnes from 1950 to 2006, almost 75 times the amount reported to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) during this period.
Led by Prof. Daniel Pauly, the research team from UBC's Fisheries Centre and Dept. of Earth and Ocean Sciences reconstructed fisheries catch data from various sources – including limited governmental reports and anthropological records of indigenous population activities – for FAO's Fisheries Statistical Area 18, which covers ...
Blood-clotting protein linked to cancer and septicemia
2011-02-05
In our not-so-distant evolutionary past, stress often meant imminent danger, and the risk of blood loss, so part of our body's stress response is to stock-pile blood-clotting factors. Scientists in the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit (MMPU), a collaboration between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and the University of Heidelberg Medical Centre, have discovered how stressed cells boost the production of the key blood-clotting factor, thrombin. Their work, published today in Molecular Cell, shows how cancer cells may be taking ...
Host or foreign -- the body's frontline defense mechanism understood
2011-02-05
This week, the highly-respected US Academy of Sciences journal (PNAS) published an article describing how the first line of defence of the human immune system distinguishes between microbes and the body's own structures. The basis of this recognition mechanism has been unclear since the key protein components were discovered over 30 years ago – and has now finally been cracked by a collaboration between high-level research groups at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
When a microbe has infected us, the first defence mechanism that attacks it is a protein-based marking ...
Review confirms benefits of outdoor exercise
2011-02-05
A systematic review carried out by a team at the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry has analysed existing studies and concluded that there are benefits to mental and physical well-being from taking exercise in the natural environment. Their findings are published in the leading research journal Environmental Science and Technology today, 4th February 2011.
The research team, supported by the NIHR Peninsula Collaboration in Leadership for Applied Health Research and Care (PenCLAHRC, part of the NIHR family of health and research initiatives) in collaboration with ...
Petrol stations pollute their immediate surroundings
2011-02-05
In Spain it is relatively common to come across petrol stations surrounded by houses, particularly in urban areas. Researchers from the University of Murcia (UM) have studied the effects of contamination at petrol stations that is potentially harmful to health, which can be noted in buildings less than 100 metres from the service stations.
"Some airborne organic compounds – such as benzene, which increases the risk of cancer – have been recorded at petrol stations at levels above the average levels for urban areas where traffic is the primary source of emission", Marta ...
Scientific research reveals brain alterations linking omega 3 deficit with depression
2011-02-05
The link between deficits of omega-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (AGPO-3) and the onset of depressive disorders is not new in the medical field. However, what has not been known until now is the brain mechanism by which diet can condition mental health to a certain extent. Research undertaken by scientists in Bordeaux (France) and at the Faculty of Medicine and Odontology of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and published in Nature Neuroscience, provides new clues to understanding this phenomenon.
The name of the research work, 'Omega-3 nutritional deficiencies ...
New images show cloud exploding from Sun ripples like clouds on Earth
2011-02-05
Physicists, led by a researcher at the University of Warwick, studying new images of clouds of material exploding from the Sun have spotted instabilities forming in that exploding cloud that are similar to those seen in clouds in Earth's atmosphere.
These results could greatly assist physicists trying to understand and predict our Solar System's "weather".
The researchers, led by of the Centre for Fusion Space and Astrophysics, at the University of Warwick's Department of Physics, made their discovery when examining new images of clouds of material exploding from ...
Sugar boost for Oxfordshire scientists who are planning ahead for future medicines
2011-02-05
Scientists continuing to investigate a 50 year mystery have discovered another vital clue that could help pave the way for improved medicines. The results feature in a special edition of Nature celebrating the International Year of Chemistry. The findings reveal an important insight into the way carbohydrates (sugars) bond and this will influence the way drugs are designed in the future.
Using specialist laser equipment from the EPSRC-funded Laser Loan Pool managed by STFC's Central Laser Facility, Professors John Simons and Ben Davis together with co-workers from the ...
