LA JOLLA, CA, March 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) MadCap Software, Inc. (http://www.madcapsoftware.com), the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded MadCap a patent for its "Visual Document Structure Indicator" technology.
The patented design provides the basis of the Structure Bars in MadCap Flare, MadCap's flagship XML-based software for single-source multi-channel publishing, which give users unprecedented ease in creating and publishing structured content. Structure Bars allow authors to simultaneously view a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) representation of the underlying XML structure and architecture of a document without having to view the raw XML code.
Significantly, the Structure Bar views are more than just visual icons. Instead, they use MadCap's patented technology to provide fully functional representations of the document structure that allow authors to manipulate, edit or rearrange the content; revise formatting; apply conditional tags; insert, move and merge numbers, lists and tables; and much more--without ever having to write a line of XML code. Structure Bar views are optional, allowing authors to turn the different Structure Bar displays on or off. A demonstration of the Structure Bar features is available at http://tutorials.madcapsoftware.com/product/flare/StructureBarsDemo2/ ... Bars-V.htm.
"In traditional XML editors or any other visual editors used today, it is often very difficult for authors to manipulate content for even everyday tasks, such as merging or unbinding numbered lists; continuing the numbering on merged lists; and applying conditions to words, paragraphs and tables, to name a few," said Anthony Olivier, MadCap Founder and CEO. "The patented Structure Bar technology in our state-of-the-art Flare publishing software brings the power of XML to non-programmers by combining an intuitive visual representation of documentation with point-and-click simplicity for creating, revising and formatting enterprise content. With Structure Bars, it's simple for everyday authors to perform in seconds what can take hours to accomplish using traditional editors. Moreover, an author does not have to understand XML authoring and never has to look at the underlying XML code to perform even the most detailed editing tasks."

Indications of Alzheimer's disease may be evident decades before first signs of cognitive impairment
2011-03-29
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that patients with Alzheimer's disease have lower glucose utilization in the brain than those with normal cognitive function, and that those decreased levels may be detectable approximately 20 years prior to the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. This new finding could lead to the development of novel therapies to prevent the eventual onset of Alzheimer's. The study is published online in the journal Translational Neuroscience.
Using mice modified to develop Alzheimer's disease, the research team found that ...
Icebergs in the Antarctic play important role in carbon cycle
2011-03-29
Icebergs cool and dilute the ocean water they pass through and also affect the distribution carbon-dioxide-absorbing phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean, according to a team of researchers from UC San Diego and the University of San Diego.
The effects are likely to influence the growth of phytoplankton in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and especially in an area known as "Iceberg Alley" east of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Enhanced phytoplankton growth would increase the rate at which carbon dioxide is removed from the ocean, an important process in the carbon ...
Butterfly study reveals traits and genes associated with establishment of new populations
2011-03-29
A team of scientists has discovered that descendants of "exploratory" butterflies that colonized new habitats differ genetically from their more cautious cousins. The team, led by James Marden, a professor of biology at Penn State University, and Christopher Wheat, a post-doctoral scholar working at both Penn State and the University of Helsinki, has revealed some of the genetic bases for faster egg maturation, a higher rate of energy metabolism, and superior flight ability -- traits that provide an advantage to butterflies that stray from familiar territory to found new ...

Wind can keep mountains from growing
2011-03-29
Wind is a much more powerful force in the evolution of mountains than previously thought, according to a new report from a University of Arizona-led research team.
Bedrock in Central Asia that would have formed mountains instead was sand-blasted into dust, said lead author Paul Kapp.
"No one had ever thought that wind could be this effective," said Kapp, a UA associate professor of geosciences. "You won't read in a textbook that wind is a major process in terms of breaking down rock material."
Rivers and glaciers are the textbook examples of forces that wear down ...
DerekJay Productions Launches Amazon Promotional Codes: Never Pay Full Price On Amazon Again!
2011-03-29
For a long time, Amazon.com shoppers throughout the United States have found themselves constantly searching for promotional and discount codes for the products they wish to purchase or are interested in. Whilst there are many websites online which offer such codes, few (if any) focus solely on the Amazon market. This often results in inaccurate codes, untargeted deals and ultimately a waste of the browsers' time.
Amazon Promotional Codes aims to fill this gap by providing promotional codes, vouchers, offers and news focused purely on Amazon.com. Users can search for ...
The dark side of spring? Pollution in our melting snow
2011-03-29
TORONTO, ON – With birds chirping and temperatures warming, spring is finally in the air. But for University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) environmental chemist Torsten Meyer, springtime has a dark side.
"During the winter months, contaminants accumulate in the snow," says Meyer, an expert on snow-bound organic contaminants and a post-doctoral fellow at UTSC. "When the snow melts, these chemicals are released into the environment at high concentrations."
In a specially designed, temperature-controlled laboratory at UTSC—which includes a homemade snow-gun and a chemical ...

Negative attitudes toward fat bodies going global, study finds
2011-03-29
Stigma against overweight people is becoming a cultural norm around the world, even in places where larger bodies have traditionally been valued. That's according to a cross-cultural study of attitudes toward obesity to be published in the April issue of Current Anthropology.
Researchers from Arizona State University surveyed people in nine diverse locations around the world and found negative attitudes toward fat bodies in every one. The results suggest a rapid "globalization of fat stigma" in which overweight people are increasingly viewed as ugly, undesirable, lazy, ...
