SINGAPORE, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Agoda.com, Asia's global hotel booking site and part of the Nasdaq-listed Priceline.com Inc. (Nasdaq: PCLN), announces a host of summer hotel deals in Rome to coincide with Estate Romana.
Now in its 34th year, Estate Romana is a citywide celebration of all things artistic, musical, and cultural. From pop and rock concerts to classical recitals, art exhibitions, and theatre performances, this summer-long spectacular encapsulates the very spirit of Italy's chic and vibrant capital.
For those who like their music live and loud, Rock in Roma is not to be missed. With more than 20 concerts scheduled from June 16 to July 29, the event will feature a wide selection of world-renowned artists, including Jamiroquai, Jack Johnson, Moby, Ben Harper, Robert Plant, and Slash from Gun n' Roses. Sting, Lou Reed, Cindy Lauper, and Ricky Martin will also headline events.
For those with a more traditional taste in music, Estate Romana 2011 has a variety of classical options. In addition to productions of La Traviata and La Boheme, the festival will include performances of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony by the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, one of the world's oldest and most acclaimed musical institutions.
Art lovers will also be spoiled for choice as dozens of special events are planned. Among the host of shows on offer are works by Lorenzo Lotto at the Scuderie del Quirinale and the superb Portraits of Power exhibition at the Musei Capitoline. As part of a year-long promotion, anyone visiting an exhibition at a state museum on their birthday will be admitted free of charge.
Walking tours are also part of the Estate Romana schedule. The Angels & Demons tour traces the mysterious 'Path of Illumination' as featured in the Dan Brown novel. Other tours give visitors the chance to see Rome's major sights, such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, or discover hidden gems like the Oratorio del Gonfalone, known as the 'Little Sistine Chapel' for its stunning sixteenth-century frescoes.
Between exhibitions and concerts, travelers to Rome in the summertime can indulge in some luxury shopping. Late July to September marks the city's summer clearance sales when top Italian brands such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Gucci significantly drop their prices.
Agoda.com is also offering discounts for Estate Romana 2011, with a selection of hotel promotions available for the duration of the festival. Travelers booking a hotel through Agoda.com will earn Rewards points that can be saved up to reduce the cost of future bookings.

Medicines from plants

This release is available in German.
»Medicines from plants« – one thinks of herbal teas or valerian drops. However, that has nothing in common with what the researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME in Aachen, Germany, are doing. They use plants to produce biopharmaceuticals. Those are proteins that, unlike many other medications, cannot be chemically produced.
Biologically produced medications, such as recombinant insulin or therapeutic antibodies to fight cancer, have become indispensable. Plants are particularly suitable ...

Flexible films for photovoltaics
2011-05-27
This release is available in German.
What do potato chips and thin-film solar cells have in common? Both need films that protect them from air and water vapor: the chips in order to stay fresh and crisp; the solar cells in order to have a useful life that is as long as possible. In most cases, glass is used to protect the active layers of the solar cells from environmental influences. Dr. Klaus Noller from the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV in Freising explains the advantages of a plastic film: "The films are considerably lighter – and ...

Biological circuits for synthetic biology

"If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own." . . . Wes "Scoop" Nisker
Taking a page from the book of San Francisco radio legend Scoop Nisker, biologists who find themselves dissatisfied with the microbes nature has provided are going out and making some of their own. Members of the fast-growing "synthetic biology" research community are designing and constructing novel organisms and biologically-inspired systems - or redesigning existing organisms and systems - to solve problems that natural systems cannot. The range of potential applications for synthetic ...

Superior sound for telephones, mobile and related devices
2011-05-27
This release is available in German.
mp3 for phone calls – Considering the poor sound quality of many phone calls, this is a great idea. Videoconference phone calls in particular can be unintentionally awkward because the participants start to speak at the same time due to the time delay in the transmission. The reasons for this are long delay times and the poor quality of today's video calls. Fraunhofer's task was therefore to improve the quality and simultaneously minimize the delay time. The technology that makes this possible is called Enhanced Low Delay Advanced ...

MIT research: Making materials to order
2011-05-27
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A team of researchers at MIT has found a way to make complex composite materials whose attributes can be fine-tuned to give various desirable combinations of properties such as stiffness, strength, resistance to impacts and energy dissipation.
The key feature of the new composites is a "co-continuous" structure of two different materials with very different properties, creating a material combining aspects of both. The co-continuous structure means that the two interleaved materials each form a kind of three-dimensional lattice whose pieces are fully ...
