Research Now Clients across North America can now gather D-U-N-S(R) Numbers on Business Panelists in Canada and Europe

Enabled by Dun & Bradstreet(R), Research Now's dynamic tool will enable deeper analysis and segmentation of B2B respondent data outside of the United States

2012-03-12
PLANO, TX, March 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Research Now, the leading global online sampling and data collection company, today announced that it has further developed its unique B2B screening tool, now enabling clients in North America to collect additional insight on B2B respondents in Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The tool was first launched on Research Now's US business panel in October 2011, where SIC codes are also available, and is exclusive to Research Now among online panels.

Now with an international scope, the tool will work in conjunction with the pre-screening process to provide clients D&B D-U-N-S(R) Numbers on B2B respondents from Research Now's existing B2B panels in Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Clients can then use the D-U-N-S Number to link back to their own data, uncovering further segmentation attributes for more in-depth analysis based on the respondents' given company or industry. If a client does not currently have the D-U-N-S Number integrated into their data, they can work with D&B to cleanse and match their data to D-U-N-S Numbers, enabling this new insight from Research Now's tool.

"Following a successful launch in the United States and a growing demand for international insight, we are excited to offer this enhanced capability on our business panels in Canada and parts of Europe," said Kurt Knapton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Research Now. "Working closely with D&B, we manage the only online panel now able to offer our clients this exclusive insight that allows for more informed decision-making based on multi-country B2B studies."

Simple to implement and seamless to the survey respondent, Research Now's product offerings consist of both a mandatory and an optional D-U-N-S Number capture. The former method disqualifies respondents if they choose not to provide information, whereas the latter allows respondents to proceed into the survey if they choose to skip this step. Both options are currently available to clients across North America on the e-Rewards(R) Opinion Panel in the United States, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. More information about this service can be found online at http://www.researchnow.com.

BGI achieves next-gen sequencing analysis of FFPE DNA as low as 200 ng

2012-03-12
March 8, 2012, Shenzhen, China – BGI, the world's largest genomics organization, reported that it can use next-generation sequencing to analyze DNA as low as 200 ng from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. This advancement enables researchers to easily identify the genetic details and pathology mechanism of FFPE disease samples, especially for some rare tumors, with higher accuracy and reliability than existing techniques. FFPE samples are common biological materials for disease diagnoses and scientific research. Because FFPE tissue samples may be stored indefinitely ...

New throat cancer gene uncovered by UK and Japanese scientists

2012-03-12
Researchers at King's College London and Hiroshima University, Japan, have identified a specific gene linked to throat cancer following a genetic study of a family with 10 members who have developed the condition. The study, published today in American Journal of Human Genetics, uncovered a mutation in the ATR gene, demonstrating the first evidence of a link between abnormality in this gene and an inherited form of cancer. The researchers say this finding raises new ideas about genetic factors linked to throat cancer and provides a platform for exploring the role of ...

Aging, overweight people stay happy says new study

2012-03-12
Growing older and being overweight are not necessarily associated with a decrease in mental well-being, according to a cross-cultural study looking at quality of life and health status in the US and the UK. The study, led by Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick, analysed lifestyle and health patterns in more than 10,000 people in both countries and their links to participants' mental and physical quality of life and health status. Quality of life was evaluated using a measure which takes in eight different factors including perception of general health, ...

Does moderate wine consumption improve lung function?

2012-03-12
A research team from the Netherlands assessed the impact of wine and resveratrol (a natural polyphenol found in high quantities in red wine) on lung function. It also looked at genetic factors and mechanisms by which resveratrol might be absorbed by the body and its possible effect on longevity of life. The authors report that pure resveratrol intake was associated with higher lung volumes and that white wine intake (but not red wine intake) and was associated with lower risk of airway obstruction. They report that the genetic factors studied did not relate to the associations ...

Saving power, saving money

2012-03-12
In today's computer processors, much of the power put into running the processor is being wasted. A research team at Case Western Reserve University came up with a novel idea called fine-grained power gating, which saves power and money in a couple of ways: less energy would be used, and less heat produced. "Using less power produces less heat. Less heat means less cooling is needed," said Swarup Bhunia, professor of electrical engineering and computer science and an author of the research. "That can avoid the need for a big fan to cool off the processor, which saves ...

Mom's voice may improve the health of premature babies

2012-03-12
Boston, MA – When babies are born prematurely, they are thrust into a hospital environment that while highly successful at saving their lives, is not exactly the same as the mother's womb where ideal development occurs. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is equipped with highly skilled care givers and incubators that regulate temperature and humidity, but Amir Lahav, ScD, PhD, director of the Neonatal Research Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) thought that something was missing - simulation of the maternal sounds that a baby would hear in the womb. Now, new ...

Magnetic moon

2012-03-12
In the nearly five decades since the first lunar surveys were conducted as part of NASA's Apollo program, scientists have advanced a number of increasingly complex theories to explain the vast swaths of highly magnetic material that had been found in the some parts of the Moon's crust. But now a team of researchers from Harvard, MIT and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, have proposed a surprisingly simple explanation for the unusual findings – the magnetic anomalies are remnants of a massive asteroid collision. As described in a paper published March 9 in Science, ...

Metamaterials may advance with new femtosecond laser technique

Metamaterials may advance with new femtosecond laser technique
2012-03-12
Cambridge, Mass. - March 8, 2012 - Researchers in applied physics have cleared an important hurdle in the development of advanced materials, called metamaterials, that bend light in unusual ways. Working at a scale applicable to infrared light, the Harvard team has used extremely short and powerful laser pulses to create three-dimensional patterns of tiny silver dots within a material. Those suspended metal dots are essential for building futuristic devices like invisibility cloaks. The new fabrication process, described in the journal Applied Physics Letters, advances ...

Cultural 'tightness' holds back female leadership -- but not always, says study

2012-03-12
Toronto – Countries that more strictly uphold their cultural norms are less likely to promote women as leaders – unless those norms support equal opportunity for both sexes, shows a new paper from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. "Cultural tightness can prevent the emergence of women leaders because tighter cultures may make a society's people more resistant to changing the traditionally-held practice that placed men in leadership roles," says Prof. Soo Min Toh, who is cross-appointed to the Rotman School and the University of Toronto Mississauga, ...
