SAGINAW, MI, January 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Leading Saginaw dentist, Dr. Greg Herzler, remains up-to-date with technology through the launch of his practice's mobile website. At the current rate of growth, most people will own a smart-phone by 2013 and be capable of browsing the web.

A mobile website is designed to load quickly, preferably in about four seconds, while a desktop site can take much longer on a mobile phone because of connection speeds. Dr. Herzler, dentist in Saginaw, MI, is also aware that patients want their information now - they don't want to wait. Patients are often on-the-go, and need to easily and quickly gain access to the right information. With a mobile website, patients can gain all the valuable dental health care information they need with just the point of a finger.

"With more and more patients owning a smartphone, it was clear that I needed a mobile website for my practice. Patients are constantly on-the-go and need information at the drop of a hat. Having a mobile website for my practice allows me to create an easily accessible site for my patients to receive information now, rather than later," said Dr. Greg Herzler, Saginaw, MI dentist.

Patients can also experience easy navigation with the new mobile website for Dr. Herzler, cosmetic dentist in Saginaw. A mobile website contains larger, easy to push buttons, so that every patient can easily access information on Dr. Herzler's site.

Additionally, Dr. Herzler encourages patients to "Like" his practice's Facebook page and "follow" his Twitter page for increased interaction and communication. Patients are invited to visit the practice's Facebook and Twitter pages for an array of information regarding dental health with this Saginaw cosmetic dentist.

Patients can easily join Dr. Herzler's Facebook and Twitter pages by visiting the practice's website. Once a patient is in the network, they will receive instant updates from Dr. Greg Herzler, dentist in Saginaw Township. In addition to updates, patients can also provide feedback and comments for Dr. Herzler and his dental team, or interact with other patients.

"The Internet has become more widely used and our patients seem to be using the Internet for everything these days, including sharing information and interacting with other patients on social media websites. Building our own social network has created a great opportunity for our practice to share educational information and communicate with patients more than we ever have before," said Dr. Greg Herzler, Saginaw Township dentist.

In addition to Dr. Herzler's Facebook and Twitter pages, he has also created a blog for his practice in which he can actively contribute content related to dental health care. Each post from the practice's blog updates the Facebook and Twitter pages, maintaining an up-to-date social network.

Dr. Herzler, Saginaw dental implant dentist, is supported by a highly skilled and energetic team who is committed to providing patients with the most comprehensive and friendly service possible, making them feel as if they are a part of the dental family.

Water sees right through graphene

2012-01-25

Graphene is largely transparent to the eye and, as it turns out, largely transparent to water. A new study by scientists at Rice University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has determined that gold, copper and silicon get just as wet when clad by a single continuous layer of graphene as they would without. The research, reported this week in the online edition of Nature Materials, is significant for scientists learning to fine-tune surface coatings for a variety of applications. "The extreme thinness of graphene makes it a totally non-invasive coating," ...

Diets high in fiber won't protect against diverticulosis

2012-01-25

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – For more than 40 years, scientists and physicians have thought eating a high-fiber diet lowered a person's risk of diverticulosis, a disease of the large intestine in which pouches develop in the colon wall. A new study of more than 2,000 people reveals the opposite may be true. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine , found that consuming a diet high in fiber raised, rather than lowered, the risk of developing diverticulosis. The findings also counter the commonly-held belief that ...

Waiting for Death Valley's Big Bang

2012-01-25

In California's Death Valley, death is looking just a bit closer. Geologists have determined that the half-mile-wide Ubehebe Crater, formed by a prehistoric volcanic explosion, was created far more recently than previously thought—and that conditions for a sequel may exist today. Up to now, geologists were vague on the age of the 600-foot deep crater, which formed when a rising plume of magma hit a pocket of underground water, creating an explosion. The most common estimate was about 6,000 years, based partly on Native American artifacts found under debris. ...

Emergency room visits risky for elderly residents from long-term care facilities

2012-01-25

This press release is available in French. Montreal -- Elderly patients who have visited an emergency department (ED) are three times more likely to develop respiratory or gastrointestinal infections in the week following their return to a long-term care facility, such as a Centre d'Hébergement de Soins de Longue Durée (CHLSD). These are the findings of a new Canadian study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal today. "There certainly seems to be a benefit to isolating residents in the 7 days following their return to a long-term care facility, said ...

Study shines light on ways to cut costs for greenhouse growers

2012-01-25

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Greenhouse bedding plant growers can save themselves time, money or possibly both by giving cuttings in propagation more light, according to a Purdue University study. Flower growers use cuttings from Central America and Africa to start spring bedding plants in greenhouses during winter and early spring. Those cloudy days and cool temperatures make propagation time- and energy-intensive. Roberto Lopez, an assistant professor of horticulture, and horticulture graduate students Chris Currey and Veronica Hutchinson study ways to minimize inputs and ...

Dog skull dates back 33,000 years

2012-01-25

If you think a Chihuahua doesn't have much in common with a Rottweiler, you might be on to something. An ancient dog skull, preserved in a cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia for 33,000 years, presents some of the oldest known evidence of dog domestication and, together with equally ancient dog remains from a cave in Belgium, indicates that domestication of dogs may have occurred repeatedly in different geographic locations rather than with a single domestication event. In other words, man's best friends may have originated from more than one ancient ancestor, contrary ...

Broadcast study of ocean acidification to date helps scientists evaluate effects on marine life

2012-01-25

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Might a penguin's next meal be affected by the exhaust from your tailpipe? The answer may be yes, when you add your exhaust fumes to the total amount of carbon dioxide lofted into the atmosphere by humans since the industrial revolution. One-third of that carbon dioxide is absorbed by the world's oceans, making them more acidic and affecting marine life. A UC Santa Barbara marine scientist and a team of 18 other researchers have reported results of the broadest worldwide study of ocean acidification to date. Acidification is known to be a direct ...

Monogamy reduces major social problems of polygamist cultures

2012-01-25

In cultures that permit men to take multiple wives, the intra-sexual competition that occurs causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality than in societies that institutionalize and practice monogamous marriage. That is a key finding of a new University of British Columbia-led study that explores the global rise of monogamous marriage as a dominant cultural institution. The study suggests that institutionalized monogamous marriage is rapidly replacing polygamy because it has lower levels of inherent social problems. "Our goal was to understand ...
