WARREN, MI, August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Thin brick installations hit an all-time high this summer, as builders and contractors continue to look for building solutions that are both environmentally sound and affordable. American Brick Company (Ambrico) reports that the popularity of thin brick has been growing steadily in the last ten years, as more attention is being paid to finding economical solutions to building renovations and new construction projects.
According to the experts at Ambrico, thin brick, also known as "faux brick", can be used in just about any type of construction project, from homes and business parks, to sports arenas and hospitals. Many builders prefer using thin brick over traditional brick, as it is a solid alternative to clay bricks which need to be replaced over time due to fading and cracking. Thin brick is much more durable and comes in a variety of styles and colors, offering many different options for those working on either a new construction project, or those looking to renovate an existing building facade.
Ambrico maintains a large selection of thin brick brands in the company's showroom in Warren, including products from Clover Creek Brick Company, Glen-Gery Brick and Endicott Clay Products. The thin brick experts who staff the showroom offer consultations and advice on selecting the right thin brick product, making it easy to pick out the best option for your project. Once you have picked out your thin brick, installations can typically be completed within several hours and not the several days that traditional brick usually requires.
Headquartered in Warren, Michigan, Ambrico includes a showroom, brickyard and manufacturing facility. The company offers free estimates and information for builders and contractors interested in learning more about brick veneer installation, and also maintains a large selection of brick veneer samples to view in the state-of-the -art Ambrico showroom.

New depiction of light could boost telecommunications channels
2011-08-27
Physicists with the Institute of Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers (IUSL) at The City College of New York have presented a new way to map spiraling light that could help harness untapped data channels in optical fibers. Increased bandwidth would ease the burden on fiber-optic telecommunications networks taxed by an ever-growing demand for audio, video and digital media. The new model, developed by graduate student Giovanni Milione, Professor Robert Alfano and colleagues, could even spur enhancements in quantum computing and other applications.

Notre Dame astrophysicists identify missing fuel for galactic star formation
2011-08-27
The Milky Way will have the fuel to continue forming stars, thanks to massive clouds of ionized gas raining down from its halo and intergalactic space. This is the conclusion of a new study by Nicolas Lehner and Christopher Howk, faculty in the Department of Physics at the University of Notre Dame. Their report, "A Reservoir of Ionized Gas in the Galactic Halo to Sustain Star Formation in the Milky Way," will be published in Science tomorrow (Aug. 26).
Using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, one of the newest instruments on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, these researchers ...
Research shows heat in chili peppers can ease sinus problems
2011-08-27
CINCINNATI—Hot chili peppers are known to make people "tear up," but a new study led by University of Cincinnati allergy researcher Jonathan Bernstein, MD, found that a nasal spray containing an ingredient derived from hot chili peppers (Capsicum annum) may help people "clear up" certain types of sinus inflammation.
The study, which appears in the August 2011 edition of Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, compares the use of the Capsicum annum nasal spray to a placebo nasal spray in 44 subjects with a significant component of nonallergic rhinitis (i.e., nasal congestion, ...

Berkeley scientists discover an 'instant cosmic classic' supernova
2011-08-27
BERKELEY, Calif. (Aug. 25, 2011)—A supernova discovered yesterday is closer to Earth—approximately 21 million light-years away—than any other of its kind in a generation. Astronomers believe they caught the supernova within hours of its explosion, a rare feat made possible with a specialized survey telescope and state-of-the-art computational tools.
The finding of such a supernova so early and so close has energized the astronomical community as they are scrambling to observe it with as many telescopes as possible, including the Hubble Space Telescope.

Fermilab experiment measurements decrease surprise difference in neutrino and antineutrino masses
2011-08-27
BATAVIA, Illinois -- The physics community got a jolt last year when results showed for the first time that neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, might be the odd man out in the particle world and have different masses. This idea was something that went against most commonly accepted theories of how the subatomic world works.
A result released today (August 25) from the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory appears to quell concerns raised by a MINOS result in June 2010 and brings neutrino and antineutrino ...
Shod for Success: Parcel2Go Hails Enterprising eBay Couple Whose Footwear Business is Making Great Strides

Free delivery has been a key to the success of a new business which has turned from a home-based hobby into a full-time online enterprise for a Norfolk couple.
Martin and Monica Lott set up FYFO.co.uk, and now sell footwear through their own website and on eBay from more than 60 top brands and offering no-cost delivery on all standard orders has helped them hit the ground running since the site was launched at the start of this month.
But according to marketing director of online delivery services agent Parcel2Go.com, Richard Mercer, they are just one of many examples ...
New imaging method sheds light on cell growth
2011-08-27
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — University of Illinois researchers are giving a light answer to the heavy question of cell growth.
Led by electrical and computer engineering professor Gabriel Popescu, the research team developed a new imaging method called spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) that can measure cell mass using two beams of light. Described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the SLIM technique offers new insight into the much-debated problem of whether cells grow at a constant rate or exponentially.
SLIM is extremely sensitive, quantitatively ...
Possible biological control discovered for pathogen devastating amphibians
2011-08-27
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Zoologists at Oregon State University have discovered that a freshwater species of zooplankton will eat a fungal pathogen which is devastating amphibian populations around the world.
This tiny zooplankton, called Daphnia magna, could provide a desperately needed tool for biological control of this deadly fungus, the scientists said, if field studies confirm its efficacy in a natural setting.
The fungus, B. dendrobatidis, is referred to as a "chytrid" fungus, and when it reaches high levels can disrupt electrolyte balance and lead to death from cardiac ...
Uncovering the spread of deadly cancer
2011-08-27
For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor spreads.
The researchers used a novel cryo-imaging technique to obtain the unprecedented look at a mouse model of glioblastoma multiforme, a particularly aggressive cancer that has no treatments to stop it from spreading.
A description of their work, and images, will be published Sept. 1 in the journal Cancer Research.
"We're able ...
