NEW YORK, NY, May 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Discover Digital Group (DDG), a unique consultancy that focuses on identifying opportunities for business, is providing Fortune 500 corporations with a way to identify new e-revenue opportunities. These include the navigation of digital product development and to cultivate new audiences for existing products through social media, digital acquisition and loyalty optimization.
DDG Founder Justin Tobin and DDG help companies acclimate and rise to the challenges presented by rapid business transformations, especially in e-commerce technologies. Their team of diverse consultants understands and anticipates the ever-changing trends and relays to their clients the most successful strategies that allow them to navigate and adapt to the shifting global marketplace.
For example, DDG New Product Development is essential to connecting companies with consumers, engaging long-term brand loyalty, and maintaining an edge over the competition.
New digital products include anything from a new software application to a real-time online debate forum and vary by industry, technical capabilities, and desired business outcome. Through trend-forward industry insight and innovative thought leadership, DDG guides its clients through the entire product development process from idea conception and generation to development, testing and market launch.
"During my years as a vice president of digital strategy at American Express, I found it difficult to find the kind of insightful and objective external support I needed to accelerate my business and individual success," Tobin said. "The independent consultants available never had the breadth of resources or experience to provide a worldview, and the larger firms were never digitally 'au courant' or nimble enough to drive value at the pace I required. I saw this as a huge opportunity in the marketplace that was only growing with the explosion of e-commerce.
"At the same time, I knew of all these sharp, passionate and talented professionals, across multiple disciplines, who were disappointed in what the job market had to offer. They all had an inherent entrepreneurial spirit and were searching for a role that would value their talents while provide them the ability to explore multiple careers. DDG is at the intersection of these two needs by supplying executives that have tough business challenges with a previously inaccessible talent pool which will help them find effective solutions."
"Discover Digital has played a critical role in both the thinking and execution of our Brand Innovation," said Alan Press, senior vice president and general manager, The Economist. "From product ideation to business strategy and planning to partnership development, I put my full trust in both their work and thought leadership. They help me think differently about the world."
"The Discover Digital Group combines powerful strategic and creative thinking with a wealth of expertise in digital. They are highly attentive and responsive to their clients' needs," said Marc Schiller, founder and president, Electric Artists: "They also understand from firsthand knowledge that, for those of us who work in digital transformation, the attitudes of internal stakeholders are often the most important challenge to overcome."

OU graduate student developing solutions for water problems in Ethiopia
2011-05-17
A University of Oklahoma environmental science graduate student will travel to Ethiopia in June to test materials she has been investigating as possible solutions to fluorosis—a widespread problem in the Rift Valley, where high levels of fluoride in the drinking water result in dental and skeletal disease.
Laura Brunson, graduate student in the OU College of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, works with researchers in the OU Water Center on global water challenges, specifically fluorosis. Left untreated, fluorosis causes darkening of the teeth and bone deformities. ...
Happiness has a dark side
2011-05-17
It seems like everyone wants to be happier and the pursuit of happiness is one of the foundations of American life. But even happiness can have a dark side, according to the authors of a new review article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. They say that happiness shouldn't be thought of as a universally good thing, and outline four ways in which this is the case. Indeed, not all types and degrees of happiness are equally good, and even pursuing happiness can make people feel worse.

COPD patients may breathe easier, thanks to the Wii
2011-05-17
ATS 2011, DENVER – According to a new study conducted by researchers in Connecticut, the Wii Fit™ offers patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) an effective workout – and one that, because it is enjoyable, patients are more likely to use.
"Our study showed that COPD patients exercised at a relatively high percent of their maximum during three to five minutes of specified Wii Fit™exercises, indicating the Wii™ Fit may be a reasonable home-based exercise regimen for COPD patients," said Jeffrey Albores, MD, Internal Medicine Resident, University of ...

New prostate cancer test more specific, sensitive than PSA test
2011-05-17
A new test for prostate cancer that measures levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as well as six specific antibodies found in the blood of men with the disease was more sensitive and more specific than the conventional PSA test used today, according to a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The test, called the A+PSA assay, also reduced the rate of false-positives, tests that indicate the presence of cancer when no disease is actually present, said Gang Zeng, an associate professor of urology, a Jonsson Cancer Center researcher and ...
How can a colorblind animal change its colors to blend into the background?
2011-05-17
U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY, WEST POINT, N.Y.—How could a colorblind animal know how to change its skin color to blend into its surroundings? And what will the animal's predator "see," looking at its prey before and after it hides?
These provocative questions are addressed in article published today by a collaborative team from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Mass., and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. The article, "Hyperspectral imaging of cuttlefish camouflage indicates good color match in the eyes of fish predators," appears in Proceedings ...
New solar product captures up to 95 percent of light energy
2011-05-17
Efficiency is a problem with today's solar panels; they only collect about 20 percent of available light. Now, a University of Missouri engineer has developed a flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light, and he plans to make prototypes available to consumers within the next five years.
Patrick Pinhero, an associate professor in the MU Chemical Engineering Department, says energy generated using traditional photovoltaic (PV) methods of solar collection is inefficient and neglects much of the available solar electromagnetic (sunlight) spectrum. ...
Molecular technique advances soybean rust resistance research
2011-05-17
A new tool is available to select for soybean rust resistance in breeding populations, said Glen Hartman, University of Illinois professor of crop sciences and USDA-ARS scientist. Hartman and his team of researchers successfully used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) assays to assess fungal DNA in soybean leaf tissue to quantify the level of resistance in individual plants with resistance to soybean rust.
"This is not a new technique," Hartman said. "But it is a new tool for use in soybean rust resistance breeding, which has typically used phenotyping or ...
Contrast agent guidelines help prevent debilitating disorder
2011-05-17
OAK BROOK, Ill. – A simple blood test may help prevent a serious complication associated with a contrast agent commonly used in MRI exams, according to a study published in the July issue of Radiology.
Within the past five years, use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) has been linked to the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a rare disorder mainly affecting patients with severe kidney disease. But since 2008, restrictive GBCA administration guidelines implemented by Massachusetts General Hospital have proven effective in preventing NSF.
"It ...
Deer tick bacteria DNA in joint fluid not reliable marker of active lyme arthritis
2011-05-17
New research shows that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for Borrelia burgdorferi DNA—the spirochetal bacteria transmitted by deer ticks—in joint fluid may confirm the diagnosis of Lyme arthritis, but is not a reliable indicator for active joint infection in patients whose arthritis persists after antibiotic therapy. Findings of this study are published in Arthritis & Rheumatism, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).
Lyme disease is caused by the B. burgdorferi bacteria, which is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, ...
