SAINT-LAURENT, QC, June 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Mirada Media, a leading digital signage integrator, is pleased to announce the recent installation of a customer service dashboard system at the Caisse Desjardins De Lorimier located near the heart of downtown Montreal. The dashboard, which is displayed on employee-facing LCD panels throughout the branches, shows real-time information on customer queues, wait times, and teller performance. There is also a ticker for corporate news and branch alerts located at the bottom of the dashboard. The dashboard is powered by Mirada Media's ChannelView content management system and is integrated with legacy systems created by Frisco Bay. In addition, branch managers are able to remotely access the dashboard, view statistics, and compare results across branches via Mirada's ChannelView online interface.
The management team at the Caisse Desjardins De Lorimier wanted to increase teller productivity by providing real-time metrics on customer queues in the branch. Jean-Francois Lauzon, Associate Director of Assisted Transactions at the Caisse Desjardins De Lorimier, explained that they have "set performance objectives and the dashboard allows us to view how we're doing relative to these benchmarks. Also, having real-time data allows us to adapt quickly. As an example, we strive to keep wait times under 10 minutes. The moment that objective becomes at risk, tellers will see it on the dashboard and ask their colleagues for help in handling the rush."
Mr. Lauzon also noted that "Prior to installing the dashboard system, a supervisor would need to intervene whenever wait times would increase. Now, with the dashboard as a tool, our tellers are able to manage client queues independently and much more effectively. We feel that our level of service has improved and are very happy with the results so far."
In the retail and services sector, digital signage is mainly used in client-facing situations in an effort to promote products and increase client engagement; however, Eric Morello, Mirada Media's Director of Marketing, sees a growing need for digital signage "behind the scenes". He notes that "Having access to timely information is essential to making any decision. In the service industry, this means being nimble and tactically managing resources to ensure customer satisfaction. After all, no one likes to wait in line. Digital signage is an extremely powerful tool because it addresses both the needs for accuracy and accessibility. It shows you how you're doing in real time and thus lets you adapt in real time."

Sequence of ovarian genome identifies predominant gene mutations, points to possible treatment
2011-06-30
HOUSTON -- (June 30, 2011) –The genome of the most common form of ovarian cancer is characterized by a few common gene mutations but also surprisingly frequent structural changes in the genome itself, said members of The Cancer Genome Atlas, including the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center, that sequenced and analyzed more than 300 such tumors. The study was the first to achieve an overview of this type of ovarian cancer.
"We found that ovarian cancer has a dramatic pattern of genomic disruption," said Dr. Richard Gibbs, director of the Baylor ...
Case Western Reserve researchers identify HIV-inhibiting mechanism
2011-06-30
CLEVELAND – June 29, 2011 –Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have discovered a long-sought cellular factor that works to inhibit HIV infection of myeloid cells, a subset of white blood cells that display antigens and hence are important for the body's immune response against viruses and other pathogens.
The factor, a protein called SAMHD1, is part of the nucleic acid sensing machinery within the body's own immune system. It keeps cells from activating immune responses to the cells own nucleic acids, thus preventing certain forms of autoimmunity ...
Most distant quasar found
2011-06-30
"This quasar is a vital probe of the early Universe. It is a very rare object that will help us to understand how supermassive black holes grew a few hundred million years after the Big Bang," says Stephen Warren, the study's team leader.
Quasars are very bright, distant galaxies that are believed to be powered by supermassive black holes at their centres. Their brilliance makes them powerful beacons that may help to probe the era when the first stars and galaxies were forming. The newly discovered quasar is so far away that its light probes the last part of the reionisation ...
Study confirms CT lung cancer screens save lives; other analyses underway
2011-06-30
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Research results from the National Lung Screening Trial, published online June 29 in the New England Journal of Medicine confirm that helical low-dose CT (LDCT) scans for lung cancer reduce deaths in heavy smokers by 20 percent compared to X-ray scans, but several other key findings from the data gathered in the study, including cost-effectiveness, will be released in the next six months, said a Brown University statistician who helped lead the massive government-funded study.
"The results of the study say that the time has come for ...
Scientists use 'optogenetics' to control reward-seeking behavior
2011-06-30
(Embargoed) CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Using a combination of genetic engineering and laser technology, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have manipulated brain wiring responsible for reward-seeking behaviors, such as drug addiction. The work, conducted in rodent models, is the first to directly demonstrate the role of these specific connections in controlling behavior.
The UNC study, published online on June 29, 2011, by the journal Nature, uses a cutting-edge technique called "optogenetics" to tweak the microcircuitry of the brain and then assess ...
Scientists shed light on the private lives of electrons
2011-06-30
A Princeton researcher and his international collaborators have used lasers to peek into the complex relationship between a single electron and its environment, a breakthrough that could aid the development of quantum computers.
The technique reveals how an isolated electron and its surroundings develop a relationship known as a Kondo state – a state of matter that is of great interest to physicists and engineers. The results not only yield insights into a long-standing quandary in theoretical physics, but also may help scientists understand how to store information at ...

Fungus farming ant genome reveals insight into adaptation of social behavior
2011-06-30
June 30, 2011 – The development of agriculture was a significant event in human cultural evolution, but we are not the only organisms to have adopted an agricultural way of life. In a study published online today in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers have sequenced the genome of a fungus farming leaf-cutting ant, revealing new insights into the genetics and molecular biology behind this unusual lifestyle.
Found in Central and South America as well as the southern United States, leaf-cutting ants have evolved a symbiotic relationship with fungus. By breaking ...
Study shows 20 percent reduction in lung cancer mortality with low-dose CT vs chest X-ray
2011-06-30
Scientists have found a 20 percent reduction in deaths from lung cancer among current or former heavy smokers who were screened with low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) versus those screened by chest X-ray. The primary research results from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) were published online today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This article provides a more extensive analysis of the data originally reported in November 2010 while providing additional data to the public and research community without barriers to access. Sponsored by the National ...
