MIAMI, FL, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) According to Cambridge Consultants, every day America's hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, funeral homes, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, tattoo parlors and other sources of infectious biomedical materials and "sharps" (i.e. used needles, lancets and other devices capable of penetrating skin) produce at least 66,000 tons of medical waste. In Florida alone, United Medical Industries ("UMI") Vice President Marlene Yero estimates there are more than 40,000 such medical waste generators, all of whom are required by law to adhere to stringent biomedical waste management and disposal practices designed to protect their employees and the public from serious infection and harm. And providing that growing market with comprehensive medical waste management solutions is the focus of UmiWaste.com, UMI's recently launched Web 3.0 ready and iPad 2 accessible website.
Founded in 2002 by medical waste management industry pioneer Carlos Campos, United Medical Industries is a full service biomedical waste disposal enterprise headquartered in Miami, Florida. His sister Marlene Campos Yero is actively involved in the operations of the company, as is brother-in-law Jose Yero who serves as UMI's hands-on President. With the standards-based and high-visibility Semantic Web design of UmiWaste.com, the family-owned enterprise looks to leverage increased online exposure to expand their share of the Florida medical waste transport and disposal market by providing competitively affordable reliability in an industry where regional acquisitions by corporate giants threaten monopoly. "Through our expanding web, search and social media presence," Marlene Yero stated, "we will not only educate our customers about the dangers of improperly handling medical waste, but also keep them informed about the realities of the medical waste solutions marketplace."
Styled by Miami web designer WebReDesignMiami.com with front-end development by Web3.0DesignMiami.com using dynamic PHP scripting and consisting entirely of Flash-free tableless HTML5/CSS3 source, every web page at UmiWaste.com passes all seven tests of "Web 3.0 Readiness". These include not only basic tests of W3C compliance as to content and format but also behavior, accessibility, semantics, syndication and links. The hand-coded custom template features a Javascript-free, CSS-only vertical navigation panel with animated teasers, a jQuery-driven expandable footer, selectable PHP random relevant image displays, and PNG gradients for backgrounds and overlays. Custom jQuery/Javascript programming also drives page load/unload and image hover animations. User experience is enhanced by providing all forms with auto-focus and auto-scroll functionality, and all pages offer medical waste twitter, an RSS newsfeed and social media integration. Also, every web page has been verified accessible using not only the latest versions of all five major web browsers (Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari) but also by Flash-free user agents like the new Apple iPad 2 tablet computer, of which TechReviews.net says almost 1 million units were sold in the first 2 days of its introduction.
Like the iPad 2, UmiWaste.com was designed with utility in mind. And so far, UMI President Jose Yero seems happy with the delivery: "From the outset Bruce Arnold was instrumental in helping us redesign our drab, outdated and unproductive website. He provided us with guidelines to simplify the web development process, and led us through it all step by step. He was professional in conduct and stayed on top of the project to assure that it was completed on schedule. We appreciate his high level of web marketing expertise, and we're very pleased with the results!"

Nanoparticles improve solar collection efficiency
2011-04-06
Washington, D.C. (April 5, 2011) -- Using minute graphite particles 1000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, mechanical engineers at Arizona State University hope to boost the efficiency—and profitability—of solar power plants.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are popping up more and more on rooftops, but they're not necessarily the best solar power solution. "The big limitation of PV panels is that they can use only a fraction of the sunlight that hits them, and the rest just turns into heat, which actually hurts the performance of the panels," explains Robert ...
Cellular feast or famine
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, Fla., April 5, 2011 – Not all cholesterol is bad. Every cell requires it for growth – they either have to get cholesterol somewhere or they die. In a new study published April 6 in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers from Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) and their collaborators found that a protein sensor known to balance cholesterol sources can also access a previously underappreciated cellular fat storage depot.
The sensor, called sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2), monitors cellular cholesterol levels and ...

WATER PIPE SMOKING AS HARMFUL AS CIGARETTE SMOKING
Two new studies confirm the serious health effects caused by water pipe smoking (WPS), including reduced lung function and other cardiorespiratory conditions. In one study, researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo found that, compared with people who do not smoke, WPS was associated with a significant reduction in lung function, equivalent to cigarette smoking. In a second study, Israeli researchers found that during a single 30-minute smoking session, WPS was associated with an increase in blood pressure, ...
Face time with a female aids males bent on monkey business
2011-04-06
New Haven, Conn. – Male monkeys looking for a good time might benefit from spending a bit longer getting to know a potential mate, according to a new study published online in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The time males spend around a prospective mate might be the key to detecting subtle sexual signals that show which females are fertile and which are not, according to the study, co-authored by an international team of biologists and psychologists.
"The results of this study shed new light on the role that experience can play in reading ...

Reef diversity no insurance against human threats
2011-04-06
In a large collaborative analysis publishing tomorrow in the online, open access journal PLoS Biology, 55 scientists from 49 nations document that the capability of reef fish systems to produce biomass and deliver goods and services to humanity, is functionally linked to the number of species; functioning increases as biodiversity increases. However, mounting pressures from growing human populations is tampering with this functioning of the reef fish communities, especially in the most diverse reefs. The extent of this distress was shown to be widespread and likely to worsen ...
Rejuvenating electron microscopy
2011-04-06
By modifying a protein from a plant that is much favored by science, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues have created a new type of genetic tag visible under an electron microscope, illuminating life in never-before-seen detail. Led by Nobel laureate Roger Tsien, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and UCSD professor of pharmacology, chemistry and biochemistry, a team of scientists radically re-engineered a light-absorbing protein from the flowering cress plant Arabidopsis thaliana. When exposed to blue ...
Study shows that modern surgery for scoliosis has good long-term outcomes
2011-04-06
Teenagers who undergo spine fusion for scoliosis using the newest surgical techniques can expect to be doing well 10 years after surgery, according to a Hospital for Special Surgery study published online ahead of print in the [TK issue] of the journal Spine. Researchers had thought that the surgery would cause damage to the spine just below the fused discs, but the study showed that this was not the case.
"Fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using the newer generation spine implants appears to spare junctional disc degeneration and allows patients ten years out ...
