ATLANTA, GA, April 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Vicinity Manufacturing, Inc., a leading provider of formula-based manufacturing software for Microsoft Dynamics, today announced the availability of its manufacturing ERP solution as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering.
SaaS, also known as software "on demand," is a model in which software is hosted and operated for use by customers over the Internet. Customers do not own the software itself, but rather pay to use it. Vicinity SaaS allows manufacturers to utilize the full benefits of a robust and proven ERP solution without a long term commitment to infrastructures and additional staffing. Vicinity Manufacturing plans to deliver its software through the SaaS delivery channel, in addition to its current on-premise offering.
"Vicinity SAAS offering allows us to reach clients that have limited financial and IT resources. It removes the financial barrier to entry with a traditional software and server purchase. Formula manufacturers that had to pass on Vicinity functionality are now able to implement Vicinity at a much lower cost of ownership," said Vicinity Manufacturing CEO & Co-Founder,Randy Smith.
As part of its cloud-based offering, Vicinity will partner with the experts at TurnOnFood to help customers remotely manage the performance and availability of both the Microsoft Dynamics and Vicinity Manufacturing applications. Since companies do not have to make long-term investments in technology infrastructure to use Vicinity SaaS, it can help free up scarce IT resources to focus on other priorities. Customers can begin using software delivered through Vicinity SaaS in a matter of weeks and, therefore, receive business benefits from their IT initiatives faster. "The value of ERP software is not derived from its deployment," said Peter Joeckel, founder, TurnOnFood. "Rather, the benefit comes from its use. Software-as-a-Service helps organizations quickly unlock the value to the business."
Vicinity software incorporates the entire manufacturing and business processes into one simple solution. Examples of the key integration features in Vicinity include formula management, automated lot control, formula scheduling, compliance, certificates of analysis, country of origin disclosure, batch yields by formula, quality control tracking, and batch ticket processing. The Vicinity solution together with the Microsoft Dynamics suite of financial and distribution systems will keep process manufacturers on track for continued growth and success.

How do life-threatening medical conditions in children impact quality of life?
2011-04-13
New York, NY, April 11, 2011 – How do we assess the current and future quality of life (QoL) for infants and children with life-threatening conditions? In the April issue of Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care, "The Quality of Life of Young Children and Infants with Chronic Medical Problems," presents a collection of essays in which physicians, medical ethicists, parents, and caregivers address one of the most contentious topics in pediatric and clinical ethics today, the assessment of QoL).

Device proves solar cell potential of high bandgap inorganic nanowire arrays
2011-04-13
A report, published in the March 14 edition of the Journal of Materials Chemistry, announced the successful fabrication and testing of a new type solar cell using an inorganic core/shell nanowire structure.
Arrays of core/shell nanowires (described has "quantum coaxial cables") had previously been theorized as a potential structure that, while composed of chemically more stable large bandgap inorganic materials, should also be capable of absorbing the broad range of the wavelengths present in sunlight. High bandgap semiconductors are generally considered not effective ...
Investigational drug may reduce involuntary movements
2011-04-13
HONOLULU – Results of the first randomized, placebo-controlled long-term clinical trial show the investigational drug safinamide may reduce dyskinesia or involuntary movements in mid-to-late stage Parkinson's disease.

Study: Low intensity treadmill exercise is best to improve walking in Parkinson's
2011-04-13
HONOLULU – New evidence suggests that walking on a treadmill at a comfortable speed and for longer duration is the most effective exercise to improve mobility in people with Parkinson's disease. That's according to the first randomized trial comparing three types of exercise training in Parkinson's disease. The late-breaking research will be presented at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, April 9, 2011, in Honolulu.
"Difficulty walking is the greatest cause of disability in people with Parkinson's disease," said Lisa M. Shulman, MD, ...
Parkinson's exercise study results
2011-04-13
Honolulu, HI – April 12, 2011. Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Baltimore VA Medical Center found that Parkinson's patients who walked on a treadmill at a comfortable speed for a longer duration (low-intensity exercise) improved their walking more than patients who walked for less time but at an increased speed and incline (high-intensity exercise). The investigators also found benefits for stretching and resistance exercises. The study results will be presented April 12 at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology ...
Urgent need to improve quality of outpatient care in public and private sector in poorer countries
2011-04-13
The overall poor quality of outpatient healthcare in both the formal private and public sector in low and middle income countries is worrying—especially given the increasing volume of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, which require relatively sophisticated, long-term outpatient medical care.
This conclusion, from a review by Paul Garner from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool, UK and colleagues and published in this week's PLoS Medicine, stresses the pressing need for national governments to find and implement effective strategies ...

Researchers discover the cause of irradiation-induced instability in materials surfaces
2011-04-13
Cambridge, Mass. – April 12, 2011 – A new discovery about the dynamic impact of individual energetic particles into a solid surface improves our ability to predict surface stability or instability of materials under irradiation over time.
The finding may lead to the design of improved structural materials for nuclear fission and fusion power plants, which must withstand constant irradiation over decades. It may also accelerate the advent of fusion power, which does not produce radioactivity.
Publishing in Nature Communications, Michael Aziz, Gene and Tracy Sykes Professor ...
