ENCINO, CA, December 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) With families around the world gearing up for the holidays, many are looking for the perfect last minute addition to their home. When it comes to adding functionality, safety, and beauty, nothing beats landscape lights. With the ability to be placed almost anywhere and coincide with all outdoor designs, they can quickly accent any yard. To make the process of finding the perfect landscape lighting just a little bit easier, iLandscapeLights.com is now offering a special promotional discount to ring in the New Year.
With so much focus on energy consumption, many home owners have become hesitant to add just one more drain on electricity to their home. Getting that electric bill in the mail has become a painful experience, especially for those in particularly cold climates. This is why iLandscapeLights.com also offers a wide array of landscape LED lights that require just a fraction of the energy consumption as traditional lights. LEDs can also last thousands of hours longer while still providing the warm lighting that home owners want.
Adding landscape waterfall lights or any other cosmetic lighting is an affordable step to increase property value dramatically. In a time when the housing market is stubbornly remaining in a slump, those that own homes need to find ways to make their property stand out from the pack. Just as with small additions to the interior of a home, these additions to the front, back, and side yards increase the value of a home by adding unique and cosmetic appeal.
A landscape light is not just a cosmetic feature; it is also a major component of functionality. For all homes, especially those with the elderly or young children, landscape step lights can turn potential accidents into a safe walkway at any time of the day. These lights mean more visibility in the dark of night.
With affordable lighting for every yard, iLandscapeLights.com is making 2012 a year to look forward to. Home owners can purchase with confidence with low price guarantee on dozens of products. Now is the time of year to make homes of all types just a little bit brighter.

Penn scientists pioneer new method for watching proteins fold
2011-12-27
PHILADELPHIA — A protein's function depends on both the chains of molecules it is made of and the way those chains are folded. And while figuring out the former is relatively easy, the latter represents a huge challenge with serious implications because many diseases are the result of misfolded proteins. Now, a team of chemists at the University of Pennsylvania has devised a way to watch proteins fold in "real-time," which could lead to a better understanding of protein folding and misfolding in general.
The research was conducted by Feng Gai, professor in the Department ...
Penn engineers develop more effective MRI contrast agent for cancer detection
2011-12-27
PHILADELPHIA — Many imaging technologies and their contrast agents — chemicals used during scans to help detect tumors and other problems — involve exposure to radiation or heavy metals, which present potential health risks to patients and limit the ways they can be applied. In an effort to mitigate these drawbacks, new research from University of Pennsylvania engineers shows a way to coat an iron-based contrast agent so that it only interacts with the acidic environment of tumors, making it safer, cheaper and more effective than existing alternatives.
The research was ...
Shearing triggers odd behavior in microscopic particles

This 12-second video shows the formation of particle strings at angles perpendicular to the direction of shear flow. Many scientists had predicted that the strings would form parallel to the...

Microscopic spheres form strings in surprising alignments when suspended in a viscous fluid and sheared between two plates — a finding that will affect the way scientists think about the properties of such wide-ranging substances as shampoo ...
A new way of approaching the early detection of Alzheimer's disease
2011-12-27
One of our genes is apolipoprotein E (APOE), which often appears with a variation which nobody would want to have: APOEε4, the main genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (the most common form in which this disorder manifests itself and which is caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors). It is estimated that at least 40% of the sporadic patients affected by this disease are carriers of APOEε4, but this also means that much more still remains to be studied. The researcher at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) Xabier ...
Viagra against heart failure: Researchers at the RUB and from Rochester throw light on the mechanism
2011-12-27
How sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, can alleviate heart problems is reported by Bochum's researchers in cooperation with colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Minnesota) in the journal Circulation. They studied dogs with diastolic heart failure, a condition in which the heart chamber does not sufficiently fill with blood. The scientists showed that sildenafil makes stiffened cardiac walls more elastic again. The drug activates an enzyme that causes the giant protein titin in the myocardial cells to relax. "We have developed a therapy in an animal model ...
A new sensor to detect lung cancer from exhaled breath
2011-12-27
Some illnesses such as lung and stomach cancer or liver diseases which, due to the difficulty of diagnosis, have symptoms that are often confused with routine disorders. Therefore, in most cases, the disease is only detected at an advanced stage. New methods for early detection are being investigated as an urgent need.
Tecnalia, through the Interreg project Medisen, is contributing to develop biosensors capable of detecting the presence of tumour markers of lung cancer in exhaled breath. This is possible because of the changes produced within the organism of an ill person, ...
More accurate than Santa Claus
2011-12-27
Every year for Christmas, the North American Air Defence Command NORAD posts an animation on their website, in which the exact flight path of Santa Claus' sled led by reindeer Rudolf is precisely located (http://www.noradsanta.org/en/). The path of navigation satellites, however, has to be determined much more accurately than Santa's flight path, when precise ground positioning is required. GPS is the best known system of this kind, the European system Galileo is planned to be decidedly more accurate.
On 10 December, seven weeks after the start of the first two Galileo ...
Millipede border control better than ours
2011-12-27
A mysterious line where two millipede species meet has been mapped in northwest Tasmania, Australia. Both species are common in their respective ranges, but the two millipedes cross very little into each other's territory. The 'mixing zone' where they meet is about 230 km long and less than 100 m wide where carefully studied.
The mapping was done over a two-year period by Dr Bob Mesibov, who is a millipede specialist and a research associate at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, Tasmania. His results have been published in the open access journal ...
Go to work on a Christmas card
2011-12-27
If all the UK's discarded wrapping paper and Christmas cards were collected and fermented, they could make enough biofuel to run a double-decker bus to the moon and back more than 20 times, according to the researchers behind a new scientific study.
The study, by scientists at Imperial College London, demonstrates that industrial quantities of waste paper could be turned into high grade biofuel, to power motor vehicles, by fermenting the paper using microorganisms. The researchers hope that biofuels made from waste paper could ultimately provide one alternative to fossil ...
UK researchers present findings from Kentucky breast cancer patients with disease relapse
2011-12-27
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 23, 2011) — The University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center breast oncologist Dr. Suleiman Massarweh and his research team presented findings from their studies on relapse of breast cancer at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium this month.
The two studies aimed to characterize further risk factors for presentation with metastatic disease or risk of early metastatic relapse after initial therapy. Data for each study was collected from 1,089 patients at the UK Markey Cancer Center between January 2007 and May 2011.
The studies showed that patients ...
