PALO ALTO, CA, July 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provides a flexible and cost-effective means of extending an enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) to the cloud. However, not all PaaS offerings are the same. Some only serve narrow needs--for example focusing solely on integration or application development. Others take a proprietary approach that can make migrating from the PaaS prohibitively difficult and costly. By contrast, WSO2 has extended its entire enterprise middleware platform to the cloud with WSO2 Stratos (http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos?071411p). The 100% open source WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform enables an enterprise SOA to be deployed on a private PaaS, public PaaS, or hybrid environment, giving IT professionals unprecedented deployment flexibility.
IT architects and developers can learn how to navigate WSO2's middleware platform by attending the interactive online class, "Platform-as-a-Service: The WSO2 Way". The two-hour session is being offered at no cost as a part of the WSO2 SOA Summer School program (http://wso2.org/training?071411p). It will be held on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific. To participate, register at http://tinyurl.com/school-PaaS.
The Platform-as-a-Service class will:
* Examine cloud deployment challenges faced by SOA architects and developers in the enterprise.
* Answer common questions about PaaS and software-as-a-service (SaaS).
* Introduce WSO2 Stratos (http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos?071411p), and explain how it offers IT professionals the flexibility to deploy their own private PaaS or run on a public PaaS hosted by WSO2.
* Explore how the common architecture shared by WSO2 Stratos and the award-winning WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform (http://wso2.com/products?071411p) enables a smooth migration between cloud and on-premise deployments.
* Demonstrate key cloud deployment concepts using WSO2 Stratos.
Leading the class are Afkham Azeez, WSO2 director of architecture and an elected member of the Apache Software Foundation (http://wso2.com/about/team/afkham-azeez?071411p), and Kathiravelu Pradeeban (http://wso2.com/about/team/kathiravelu-pradeeban?071411p), WSO2 software engineer. In addition to their track records in product innovation, Azeez and Pradeeban bring proven expertise in developing on-premise and cloud applications.

Study highlights respiratory disorders prevalent in the Middle East
2011-07-14
Lung diseases in the Middle East range from the centuries-old pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) to modern manifestations caused by chemical warfare. A new paper now available in Respirology, a journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology, provides pulmonologists and patients with the first comprehensive review of respiratory illnesses specific to the Persian Gulf region, and the challenges in treating them. This unique review is the first of its kind in this topic and will serve as an important landmark reference article.
A wide spectrum of pulmonary disorders affect ...
Higher cigarette taxes don't deter all smokers
2011-07-14
This release is available in French.
Montreal, July 13, 2011 — Raising taxes on cigarettes, a public health measure used by governments to encourage people to quit, doesn't motivate all smokers to stop the deadly habit.
A study on the long-term impact of taxing cigarettes, led by two Concordia University economists and published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, found higher taxes do prompt low-and middle-income earners to quit.
Yet price increases don't persuade wealthier smokers or those aged 25 to 44 to butt out.

MIT research update: New way to store sun's heat
2011-07-14
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A novel application of carbon nanotubes, developed by MIT researchers, shows promise as an innovative approach to storing solar energy for use whenever it's needed.
Storing the sun's heat in chemical form — rather than converting it to electricity or storing the heat itself in a heavily insulated container — has significant advantages, since in principle the chemical material can be stored for long periods of time without losing any of its stored energy. The problem with that approach has been that until now the chemicals needed to perform this conversion ...
Penn researchers show single drug and soft environment can increase platelet production
2011-07-14
PHILADELPHIA — Humans produce billions of clot-forming platelets every day, but there are times when there aren't enough of them, such as with certain diseases or during invasive surgery. Now, University of Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a single drug can induce bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes to quadruple the number of platelets they produce.
Jae-Won Shin, a graduate student of pharmacology in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, and Dennis E. Discher, professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in the School of Engineering ...
Rise in risk inequality helps explain polarized US voters
2011-07-14
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study of political polarization in the United States suggests that changes in the labor market since the 1970s has helped create more Republican and Democratic partisans and fewer independents.
The growth in partisanship has to do with people's current income and – importantly – their expectations of job security, said Philipp Rehm, author of the study and assistant professor of political science at Ohio State University.
At one time, many voters were "cross-pressured" – when looking at what they earned now and their risks of losing that income, ...
Clemson and DriveSafety create new driving simulator for rehabilitation
2011-07-14
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson University researchers, working with simulation technology company DriveSafety, have developed a new driving simulator designed for patient rehabilitation that now is being used at 11 Army, Navy and Veterans Affairs facilities. The program recently expanded to Europe with the addition of a driving simulator at Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany.

Evolved stars locked in fatalistic dance
2011-07-14
White dwarfs are the burned-out cores of stars like our Sun. Astronomers have discovered a pair of white dwarfs spiraling into one another at breakneck speeds. Today, these white dwarfs are so near they make a complete orbit in just 13 minutes, but they are gradually slipping closer together. About 900,000 years from now - a blink of an eye in astronomical time - they will merge and possibly explode as a supernova. By watching the stars converge, scientists will test both Einstein's theory of general relativity and the origin of some peculiar supernovae.
The two white ...

Omega-3 reduces anxiety and inflammation in healthy students
2011-07-14
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study gauging the impact of consuming more fish oil showed a marked reduction both in inflammation and, surprisingly, in anxiety among a cohort of healthy young people.
The findings suggest that if young participants can get such improvements from specific dietary supplements, then the elderly and people at high risk for certain diseases might benefit even more.
The findings by a team of researchers at Ohio State University were just published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity. It is the latest from more than three decades of research ...
