CARROLLTON, TX, August 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Critical Information Network (CiNet), LLC, announces the release of its newly updated Electrical 1 training series designed to help companies improve the electrical maintenance practices of workers and meet the demands of today's busy training manager.
According to OSHA and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical accidents and the resulting fires cause millions of dollars in damages, countless injuries and life threatening workplace events every year. The tragedy is that many of these could have been avoided by simple maintenance repairs supported by a steady flow of training. OSHA and NFPA's National Electrical Code standards for electrical safety are constantly changing in response to new technology. In order to remain on the cutting edge of safety practices, it is essential to continually update electrical workers' knowledge and skills. While employees who are new to the field will undoubtedly need to learn current safety standards, even veteran electricians have a need to stay current.
The CiNet Industrial Training Institute's training library is comprised of instructionally designed, blended-learning training solutions, including video-based courses from internationally recognized and well-respected brands such as NUS, Williams Learning and Tel-A-Train. Comprehensive student workbooks enhance the training modules and are included with every course to maximize the total learning experience.
"Our Electrical 1 Training Series offers a practical solution with 43 Web-delivered electrical maintenance training courses, representing some of the most common preventive and corrective electrical maintenance practices performed on electrical equipment in an industrial environment. Topics covered range from AC and DC fundamental reviews to motor, generator and circuit breaker maintenance and many more," stated President and CEO Steve Albright. "This is what we do best - purposeful education that goes beyond an enhancement for safety, it saves lives."
CiNet offers flexible delivery options, featuring a custom learning management system that keeps track of all trainee test scores, log times and site-information access and provides custom reporting options.

Stem cell mobilization therapy found to be safe for bone marrow donors
2011-08-12
(WASHINGTON, August 11, 2011) – According to a study published in Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), researchers have reported that administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a drug that releases stem cells from the bone marrow into the blood, is unlikely to put healthy stem cell donors at risk for later development of abnormalities involving loss or gains of chromosomes that have been linked to hematologic disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
G-CSF therapy is given to healthy ...
Heat Wave Sees Surge in Sweat Cure Enquiries
2011-08-12
While many Britons enjoyed the recent heatwave, taking the chance to lie back and top up their tans, for others it only served to heighten their fears of damp armpits and clammy hands.
As a result, Transform Cosmetic Surgery Group recorded a 45% surge in enquiries into use of BOTOX injections a treatment for excessive sweating over a three-day period of the heatwave as the nation become more perspiration-conscious.
Known as hyperhidrosis, the condition sees sweat glands become overactive, something often made worse during periods of hot weather. During the procedure, ...
New model of ALS is based on human cells from autopsied tissue
2011-08-12
By isolating cells from patients' spinal tissue within a few days after death, researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a new model of the paralyzing disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They found that during the disease, cells called astrocytes become toxic to nerve cells – a result previously found in animal models but not in humans. The new model could be used to investigate many more questions about ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
ALS can run in families, but in the majority of cases, it is sporadic, with no known ...
Decade-long study reveals recurring patterns of viruses in the open ocean
2011-08-12
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Viruses fill the ocean and have a significant effect on ocean biology, specifically marine microbiology, according to a professor of biology at UC Santa Barbara and his collaborators.
Craig A. Carlson, professor with UCSB's Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, is the senior author of a study of marine viruses published this week by the International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal, of the Nature Publishing Group.
The new findings, resulting from a decade of research, reveal striking recurring patterns of marine virioplankton ...
New data shows El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake was simple on surface, complicated at depth
2011-08-12
PASADENA, Calif.— Like scars that remain on the skin long after a wound has healed, earthquake fault lines can be traced on Earth's surface long after their initial rupture. Typically, this line of intersection between the area where the fault slips and the ground is more complicated at the surface than at depth. But a new study of the April 4, 2010, El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake in Mexico reveals a reversal of this trend. While the fault involved in the event appeared to be superficially straight, the fault zone is warped and complicated at depth.
The study—led by researchers ...
Urban impacts on phosphorus in streams
2011-08-12
MADISON, WI, JULY 11, 2011 -- Although phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all life forms, essential amounts of the chemical element can cause water quality problems in rivers, lakes, and coastal zones. High concentrations of phosphorus in aquatic ecosystems are often associated with human activities in the surrounding area, such as agriculture and urban development. However, relationships between specific human sources of phosphorus and phosphorus concentrations in aquatic ecosystems are yet to be understood. Establishing these relationships could allow for the development, ...
Scientists explain unique activity of TB drug pyrazinamide
2011-08-12
WHAT:Pyrazinamide has been used in combination with other drugs as a first-line treatment for people with tuberculosis (TB) since the 1950s, but exactly how the drug works has not been well understood. Now, researchers have discovered a key reason why the drug effectively shortens the required duration of TB therapy. The finding potentially paves the way for the development of new drugs that can help eliminate TB in an infected individual even more rapidly. The study was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National ...
Stanford engineers redefine how the brain plans movement
2011-08-12
In 1991, Carl Lewis was both the fastest man on earth and a profound long jumper, perhaps the greatest track-and-field star of all time in the prime of his career. On June 14th of that year, however, Carl Lewis was human. Leroy Burrell blazed through the 100-meters, besting him by a razor-thin margin of three-hundredths of a second. In the time it takes the shutter to capture a single frame of video, Lewis's three-year-old world record was gone.
In a paper just published in the journal Neuron, a team at the Stanford School of Engineering, led by electrical engineers Krishna ...
Carnegie Mellon scientists discover how molecular motors go into 'energy save mode'
2011-08-12
PITTSBURGH—The transport system inside living cells is a well-oiled machine with tiny protein motors hauling chromosomes, neurotransmitters and other vital cargo around the cell. These molecular motors are responsible for a variety of critical transport jobs, but they are not always on the go. They can put themselves into "energy save mode" to conserve cellular fuel and, as a consequence, control what gets moved around the cell, and when.
A new study from Carnegie Mellon University and the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research published in the Aug. 12 issue of Science ...
Federal Court Rules Florida State Drug Law Unconstitutional
2011-08-12
A federal judge in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida has ruled that Florida drug crime laws violated a defendant's due process rights. At issue was whether prosecutors must prove that an accused drug trafficker had knowledge of drug possession, which is a fundamental legal principle in American criminal justice and the common law that preceded it.
Amendments to Florida's criminal code in 2002 removed the mens rea requirement from the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control law. The term is Latin for "guilty mind" and is best summed ...
