TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, March 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Based on successful consumer research conducted through Facebook advertising, Avis Israel has launched its new "On Demand" car rental program. On Demand offers flexible and convenient access to short-term car rentals, without having to register or schedule ahead of time.
Focused on younger, urban drivers who would usually use public transportation or borrow a parents' vehicle, the On Demand program provides an attractive option. Drivers can now rent a car for short periods, ranging in time from only one hour up through a long weekend of Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning.
A wide variety of vehicles are available for rent at any one of Avis Israel's 28 branches, with more than 6,000 rental cars in 16 different categories: ranging from urban mini cars to family sedans and up through luxury executive vehicles, and everything in between. Prices are extremely competitive and the On Demand service is available from all of Avis, Israel's branches, ranging from Nahariya in the north to Eilat in the south.
"This segment of the population has not yet been targeted by Israel car rental agencies." commented Gil Sagiv, Head of Marketing for Avis Israel, "Providing attractive car rental options for them at great prices gives young people all over Israel the opportunity to easily and spontaneously have access to any car they'd like to drive. This is very compelling, as they don't have to count on trains or buses or borrow vehicles, and they don't need to register ahead of time."
As an example, a small automatic car, such as a Hyundai i20, rents for 121 shekels from 16:00 until 9:00 the following day, and 222 shekels for a short weekend. All prices include insurance from accident or theft, as well as VAT.
Avis is the leading Israel car rental company, providing business and leisure customers with a variety of auto services at 28 locations throughout Israel; from Nahariya in the North to Eilat in the South. Known all over the world for its value-added rental services and excellent customer service, Avis Israel offers:
Car rental and hire from the airport and cities in Israel and worldwide.
Operational and financial leasing for corporate and private customers.
Used car sales from Avis leasing and rental fleet.
Chauffeur Drive Service from the airport and cities to Israel.

Radiation oncologists are discussing infertility risks with young cancer patients
2012-03-12
More than 80 percent of radiation oncologists discuss the impact of cancer treatments on fertility with their patients of childbearing age, which can lead to improved quality of life for young cancer patients who are living much longer after their original diagnosis thanks to modern treatment options, according to a study in Practical Radiation Oncology (PRO), the official clinical practice journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
In the past, the clinical focus for young cancer patients was strictly survival. With the success of today's treatment ...
New pig model may lead to progress in treating debilitating eye disease
2012-03-12
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A newly developed, genetically modified pig may hold the keys to the development of improved treatments and possibly even a cure for retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the most common inherited retinal disease in the United States. The pig model was developed by researchers in the University of Louisville Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences and at the National Swine Resource and Research Center at the University of Missouri.
"We have previously relied mostly on rodent models to study the development and progression of this disease, and although very ...
Teach your robot well (Georgia Tech shows how)
2012-03-12
Within a decade, personal robots could become as common in U.S. homes as any other major appliance, and many if not most of these machines will be able to perform innumerable tasks not explicitly imagined by their manufacturers. This opens up a wider world of personal robotics, in which machines are doing anything their owners can program them to do—without actually being programmers.
Laying some helpful groundwork for this world is, a new study by researchers in Georgia Tech's Center for Robotics & Intelligent Machines (RIM), who have identified the types of questions ...
'Chum cam' underwater video survey shows that reef sharks thrive in marine reserves
2012-03-12
STONY BROOK, NY -- A team of scientists, led by the Institute for Ocean Conservation Science at Stony Brook University, used video cameras to count Caribbean reef sharks (Carcharhinus perezi) inside and outside marine reserves on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in the Caribbean Sea. Using survey data collected from 200 baited remote underwater video (BRUV) cameras, nicknamed "chum cams," the scientists compared the relative abundance of these reef sharks in two marine reserves with those in two areas where fishing is allowed, and demonstrated that the sharks were more abundant ...

Study pinpoints effects of different doses of an ADHD drug; Finds higher doses may harm learning
2012-03-12
MADISON – New research with monkeys sheds light on how the drug methylphenidate may affect learning and memory in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The results parallel a 1977 finding that a low dose of the drug boosted cognitive performance of children with ADHD, but a higher dose that reduced their hyperactivity also impaired their performance on a memory test.
"Many people were intrigued by that result, but their attempts to repeat the study did not yield clear-cut results," says Luis Populin, an associate professor of neuroscience at the University ...
Drug helps purge hidden HIV virus, study shows
2012-03-12
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have successfully flushed latent HIV infection from hiding, with a drug used to treat certain types of lymphoma.
Tackling latent HIV in the immune system is critical to finding a cure for AIDS.
The results were presented today at the 19th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Seattle, Washington.
While current antiretroviral therapies can very effectively control virus levels, they can never fully eliminate the virus from the cells and tissues it has ...
New discovery shines light on the 3 faces of neutrinos
2012-03-12
A new discovery provides a crucial key to understanding how neutrinos – ghostly particles with multiple personalities – change identity and may help shed light on why matter exists in the universe.
In an announcement today (Thursday, March 8), members of the large international Daya Bay collaboration reported the last of three measurements that describe how the three types, or flavors, of neutrinos blend with one another, providing an explanation for their spooky morphing from one flavor to another, a phenomenon called neutrino oscillation.
The measurement makes possible ...
First findings released from Swaziland HIV incidence measurement survey announced at CROI 2012
2012-03-12
Seattle, Washington - The first findings from a nationally representative HIV survey were presented today at the 19th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2012) in Seattle, WA. The Swaziland HIV Incidence Measurement Survey (SHIMS) found that overall HIV prevalence, or percentage of the population living with HIV infection, is 31% among adults ages 18-49. This figure matches the 2006 Demographic Health Survey findings for the same age group, indicating that the HIV epidemic in Swaziland has stabilized over the past five years.
"The country continues ...
Scientists discover effects of PD-1 blockade on ART therapy in SIV-infected monkeys
2012-03-12
Scientists have discovered that blocking PD-1 (programmed death-1), an immune molecule that inhibits the immune response to viral infections, can have a significant effect on HIV-like illness in nonhuman primates.
In earlier research, the scientists showed that PD-1 blockade could restore T and B cell function against SIV. Now they have new findings about the effects of PD-1 blockade along with antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Vijayakumar Velu, PhD, a scientist at Yerkes National Primate Research Center and the Emory Vaccine Center presented the information at the 19th ...
