ATLANTA, GA, December 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Responding to huge consumer demand for mobile television content, Mobilefilmworks plans to stream to mobile, free reruns of TV sitcoms such as "The Cosby Show", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Everybody Hates Chris", "Soul Train", "Good Times", and "The Jefferson's" in 2012. Mobilefilmworks will stream the popular sitcoms to Brazilian mobile viewers "On the Go", and to desktops.
"The more than 70 million Afro Brazilian viewers want relevant, positive, and upward mobile sitcoms, featuring their favorite television personalities, and we think they'll be delighted with the range of programming that Mobilefilmworks has to offer. Mobilefilmworks and a number of leading content owners will deliver a robust catalog of mobile television programming to demonstrate the potential for this new and free streaming service," said Steve Collins, President of the Content Streaming Division for Mobilefilmworks.
Research shows clear mobile viewer interest, for mobile television programming - particularly if the streamed broadcasts, are free. Survey results demonstrates that interest in comedy's such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" ranks high with Brazilian viewers, especially if available when they're on the move, as opposed to a TV tethered to the living room wall. People are mobile and it's time for us to move with them.
"We expect Mobilefilmworks television programming to be extremely popular with younger viewers, given the popularity of mobile devices with millenials from 18 to 29. Recent surveys indicate that young adult viewers will watch more media programming if they can watch it where they work, and play" said Jameela Lee, Vice President of Business Development.
Unlike companies offering subscription based services, Mobilefilmworks sets the stage with the rollout of over 1000 hours of television programming direct to mobile devices at no cost to the viewer.
Mobilefilmworks will utilize its existing wireless platform to deliver television programming to viewers. The new offering of television sitcoms, compliments the current streaming service offered to global independent filmmakers, and film festivals.

Plant-eating dinosaur discovered in Antarctica
2011-12-19
For the first time, the presence of large bodied herbivorous dinosaurs in Antarctica has been recorded. Until now, remains of sauropoda - one of the most diverse and geographically widespread species of herbivorous dinosaurs - had been recovered from all continental landmasses, except Antarctica. Dr. Ignacio Alejandro Cerda, from CONICET in Argentina, and his team's identification of the remains of the sauropod dinosaur suggests that advanced titanosaurs (plant-eating, sauropod dinosaurs) achieved a global distribution at least by the Late Cretaceous*. Their work has just ...

What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater?
2011-12-19
Intensive agriculture practices developed during the past century have helped improve food security for many people but have also added to nitrate pollution in surface and groundwaters. New research has looked at water quality measurement over the last 140 years to track this problem in the Thames River basin.
The NERC-funded study, led by the University of Bristol's Department of Civil Engineering, has looked at nitrate transport from agricultural land to water in the Thames basin. The team used a simple model to estimate the amount of nitrate able to leach from soils ...
Chemicals and biofuel from wood biomass
2011-12-19
Most commonly used raw materials in butanol production have so far been starch and cane sugar. In contrast to this, the starting point in the Aalto University study was to use only lignocellulose, otherwise known as wood biomass, which does not compete with food production.
Another new breakthrough in the study is to successfully combine modern pulp - and biotechnology. Finland's advanced forest industry provides particularly good opportunities to develop this type of bioprocesses.
Wood biomass is made up of three primary substances: cellulose, hemicelluloses and ...
Data-driven tools cast geographical patterns of rainfall extremes in new light
2011-12-19
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. -- Using statistical analysis methods to examine rainfall extremes in India, a team of researchers has made a discovery that resolves an ongoing debate in published findings and offers new insights.
The study, initiated by Auroop Ganguly and colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, reports no evidence for uniformly increasing trends in rainfall extremes averaged over the entire Indian region. It does, however, find a steady and significant increase in the spatial variability of rainfall extremes over the region.
These findings, published in Nature ...
Quotas for women in local politics brings surge in documented crimes against women in India
2011-12-19
An increase in female representation in local politics has caused a significant rise in documented crimes against women in India, new research has found.
That is good news, say the authors of the study carried out at the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) at the University of Warwick in the UK, Harvard Business School and the IMF, who argue that the increase is down to greater reporting of crimes against women, rather than greater incidence of crimes against them.
The research examined the impact of the Panchayati Raj reform passed in 1993, ...
A new kind of metal in the deep Earth
2011-12-19
Washington, D.C. -- The crushing pressures and intense temperatures in Earth's deep interior squeeze atoms and electrons so closely together that they interact very differently. With depth materials change. New experiments and supercomputer computations discovered that iron oxide undergoes a new kind of transition under deep Earth conditions. Iron oxide, FeO, is a component of the second most abundant mineral at Earth's lower mantle, ferropericlase. The finding, published in an upcoming issue of Physical Review Letters, could alter our understanding of deep Earth dynamics ...
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's illness deciphered after 150 years
2011-12-19
Known for her poetry, letters, love affair and marriage to Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning also left a legacy of unanswered questions about her lifelong chronic illness. Now, a Penn State anthropologist, with the aid of her daughter, may have unraveled the mystery.
Born in 1806, Barrett Browning suffered throughout her life from incapacitating weakness, heart palpitations, intense response to heat and cold, intense response to illnesses as mild as a cold, and general exhaustion in bouts that lasted from days to months or years. Her doctors were unable to diagnose ...

Tissue structure delays cancer development
2011-12-19
This press release is available in German.
Cancer growth normally follows a lengthy period of development. Over the course of time, genetic mutations often accumulate in cells, leading first to pre-cancerous conditions and ultimately to tumour growth. Using a mathematical model, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, University of Pennsylvania and University of California San Francisco, have now shown that spatial tissue structure, such as that found in the colon, slows down the accumulation of genetic mutations, thereby ...
