PARMA, ITALY, June 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) The partnership between PreGel and POLI.Design, the Consortium of Politecnico di Milano, goes on and strengthens itself. After participating as an Academic Sponsor of "Temporary Exhibition Space & Design", the italian gelato company has chosen to lend its support to another POLI.Design educational project: the fourth edition of the course of high standard training in "Food Experience Design - Design for the innovation of pizza shops and spaces".
Thirty-six professionals, among architects and designers, was selected to attend this course of post-graduate specialisation, which ended in April and developed through 120 hours of research and theoretical lessons in class and practical exercises; the lecturers have highlighted and focused the need to create a new image for pizza shops, in order to create specific concepts of very innovative pizza shops, in line with the latest international trend and design scenarios.
In the catering market, nowadays, design is playing an important and increasing role, not only as a medium to impress customers from an aesthetic point of view, but also as a functional element that aims to entertain and communicate emotions and a particular mood, to let people be comfortable and really enjoy the spaces and the atmosphere.
In other words: products, atmosphere, service and design of the environment combine to offe more than the plain satisfaction of a need, but a complete and intense sensory experience.
Divided into six teams, the designers developed their project works on the virtual refurbishment of a famous restaurant-pizzeria in New York, in terms of its overall image, interior design and commercial proposition.
Each group presented its own project, following the instructions and recommentadion of the two Academic Sponsors: Agugiaro Figna & Mills (a leading company for the production of high quality flours for bread, pizza and pastry) and PreGel, an international leading company for the production of ice cream, gelato and food service products.
Every project was studied to combine and integrate the consumption of pizza and ice cream, within an innovative business proposal.
The work of the participants aimed to underline the quality of products and raw materials and to present a new Italian identity to the US customers, an innovative point of view, which was intended to be alternative as opposed to the traditional italian image.
The final project work also included the design study of a coordinated image, from the shop merchandising to the food packaging, from the menu to the staff uniforms.

Shock and recall: Negative emotion may enhance memory, study finds
2011-06-21
Picture a menacing drill sergeant, a gory slaughterhouse, a devastating scene of a natural disaster.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that viewing such emotion-laden images immediately after taking a test actually enhances people's retention of the tested material.
The data the researchers gathered in recent studies are the first to show that negative arousal following successful retrieval of information enhances later recall of that information.
The finding is counterintuitive. One would think that viewing a negative scene would tend to ...
Father's Day, Mother's Day -- how about Co-Parents Day?
2011-06-21
Fathers stumbling through child-rearing are a familiar sitcom theme. But a growing body of research at the University of California, Berkeley, is challenging the perception that dads are goofy, uncaring or incompetent caregivers. On the contrary, preliminary findings suggest their parenting skills are crucial to their kids' social and academic success, and that teamwork in parenting is the ideal.
"There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day. But there's no Co-Parents Day," which should be celebrated, too, said Philip Cowan, a UC Berkeley psychologist and one of ...

Hampton, the optical science manager at Poker Flat Research Range, is ...
A genetic factor is linked to long-term success of leg bypass surgery
2011-06-21
Outcomes of bypass surgery to repair blocked arteries in the legs tend to be better in the roughly one-in-five people who have inherited a specific genetic variation from both parents, according to a study presented at the late-breaking clinical trials session of the Vascular Annual Meeting in Chicago on June 18, 2011.
For the estimated 8 million people in the United States with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and for their physicians, the new findings may prove useful in weighing treatment options – surgery versus medication alone, for example. More than 100,000 bypasses, ...

Atmospheric carbon dioxide buildup unlikely to spark abrupt climate change
2011-06-21
There have been instances in Earth history when average temperatures have changed rapidly, as much as 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) over a few decades, and some have speculated the same could happen again as the atmosphere becomes overloaded with carbon dioxide.
New research lends support to evidence from numerous recent studies that suggest abrupt climate change appears to be the result of alterations in ocean circulation uniquely associated with ice ages.
"There might be other mechanisms by which greenhouse gases may cause an abrupt climate change, ...
