Inland Empire's first speculative industrial development since 2009 breaks ground.

2011-03-24

COSTA MESA, CA, March 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Watson Land Company, one of Southern California's largest industrial real estate developers, has broken ground on a 616,542 square foot industrial building within Watson Commerce Center Redlands. This is the first speculative industrial building to break ground in the Inland Empire since 2009.

"The absorption rate for larger industrial buildings within the Inland Empire market has increased significantly in the past year," said Lance Ryan, vice president of marketing and leasing with Watson Land Company. "This has led to a supply constrained market for properties above 500,000 square feet, with continuing strong demand for new product among large corporate users and third party logistics companies."

The building will feature a cross-dock configuration with two spacious yards offering a 185 foot turning radius and up to 649 trailer storage spaces when combined with the adjacent land within Watson Commerce Center Redlands. Construction is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The property is located at 26635 Pioneer Ave. in Redlands within Watson Commerce Center Redlands near the 10 and 215 Freeways and the San Bernardino International Airport. It is part of Watson Land Company's Legacy Building Series, a class of highly flexible, Class A facilities featuring distinctive architectural detail, maximum efficiency and flexibility. The building will be constructed to obtain LEED Certification, featuring abundant clerestory glass for daylighting and 100 percent concrete truck yards.

Watson Land Company owns and operates more than 15 million square feet of industrial space throughout Southern California.

Watson Land Company's legacy extends two centuries to the Rancho San Pedro Spanish Land Grant. Today, the company is among the largest industrial developers in the nation. For additional information, visit www.watsonlandcompany.com.

Only the weak survive?: Pitt team adds more give for stronger self-healing materials

2011-03-24

PITTSBURGH—Conventional rules of survival tend to favor the strongest, but University of Pittsburgh-based researchers recently found that in the emerging world of self-healing materials, it is the somewhat frail that survive. The team presents in the journal Langmuir a new model laying out the inner workings of self-healing materials made of nanoscale gel particles that can regenerate after taking damage and are being pursued as a coating or composite material. Moreover, the researchers discovered that an ideal amount of weak bonds actually make for an overall stronger ...

Spinal cord processes information just like areas of the brain

2011-03-24

Patrick Stroman's work mapping the function and information processing of the spinal cord could improve treatment for spinal cord injuries. "Basic physiology books describe the spinal cord as a relay system, but it's part of the central nervous system and processes information just like parts of the brain do," explains Dr. Stroman, director of the Queen's MRI Facility and Canada Research Chair in Imaging Physics. Dr. Stroman's research is directed at precisely mapping the areas above and below a spinal cord injury in order to better determine the precise nature of ...

Think you'll ace that test? Think again, then start studying

2011-03-24

We hold many beliefs about memory—for instance, if you study more, you learn more. We are also constantly making judgments about particular instances of learning and remembering—I'll never forget this party! That was easy to understand. I'll ace it on the test. But do beliefs influence judgments, and how do judgments affect memory performance? "There's a disconnect among beliefs, judgments, and actual memory," says Williams College psychologist Nate Kornell. Ask people to predict how or what they will learn and "in many situations, they do a breathtakingly bad job." ...

WSU proves extracellular matrix tugging creates come hither stimulus for cancer migration

2011-03-24

DETROIT – Ninety percent of cancer deaths resulted from metastasis, the spread of cancer to different areas in the body, yet scientific exploration of the possible mechanical factors that promote metastasis has been limited. A Wayne State University researcher, however, is expanding the scientific understanding of what makes malignant tumors spread, and the answer lies within the dense, fibrous matrix that surrounds cancer cells. Karen A. Beningo, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology in WSU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and resident of Plymouth, Mich., has ...

Tahoe native fish population declines sharply, invasives on the rise

2011-03-24

RENO, Nev. – In a lakewide study, a team of scientists lead by University of Nevada, Reno limnologist Sudeep Chandra has found a considerable decline in native fish species density at Lake Tahoe since 1951. In their final report, they are recommending establishing and implementing a management plan to protect the nearshore zone habitat, which is critical to native fish. "The numbers are alarming, and likely caused by multiple stressors in the nearshore zone," Chandra an assistant professor in the University's Department of Natural Resources and Environment said. "The ...

Tree resin the key evidence of current and historic insect invasions

2011-03-24

A University of Alberta-led research team has discovered that insects that bore into trees as long ago 90 million years, or as recently as last summer, leave a calling card that's rich with information. The information is contained in the resin found within trees and on their bark. Resin is produced in large quantities by a tree when it's under attack by insects. Normally, to assess if a tree is under an attack from boring insects researchers have sometimes had to rip patches of bark from healthy trees. But now forestry workers looking for the telltale sign of insect ...

Pre-conception and early pregnancy iron deficiency harms brain

2011-03-24

A mother's iron deficiency early in pregnancy may have a profound and long-lasting effect on the brain development of the child, even if the lack of iron is not enough to cause severe anemia, according to a University of Rochester Medical Center study published in the scientific journal PLoS One. The results are important because obstetricians might not notice or treat mild or moderate iron deficiency, and therefore the study authors believe their research underscores the need for monitoring a pregnant woman's iron status beyond anemia. Low iron is so common that an ...

Elderly victims of abuse often use alcohol or drugs, study says

2011-03-24

Victims of severe traumatic elder abuse are more likely to be female, suffer from a neurological or mental disorder, and to abuse drugs or alcohol, according to research published in the March issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. "Past studies have shown that alcohol abuse by the perpetrator plays a substantial role and is strongly associated with physical abuse," says Lee Friedman, assistant professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago and lead author of the study. "Our findings indicate that ...
