The World's Premier Fiberglass Working Boat - Polaris

Workboat builder with 41 years of experience - SSF Fiberglass Workboat for harsh operations.

2012-04-04

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, April 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) The world's first fiberglass working boat, Polaris, was built by SHING SHENG FA BOAT BUILDING CO., LTD. (SSF), one of the boat builders who's been manufacturing and customizing boats for more than 41 years. SSF is recognized as a pioneer in designing and manufacturing workboats and vessels. Their workboats are designed specifically to achieve various challenges in order to present the best. SSF has been building workboats including fishery trials, oceanographic survey ships, oil spill prevent boats, patrol working boats, river working boats, etc. And their strong working boat custom ability allowed them to build any workboats that can cope with harsh operations.

Polaris was a world-class computer controlled system working boat which was worth more than ten million USD. The working vessel, Polaris, has high ability in accomplishing underwater tasks, particularly in searching for the black box when a catastrophe happens. It was equipped with a 1.6 million USD SSS + SBP deep tow vehicle, which had a fully integrated turnkey system with a digital telemetry over single coaxial tow cable up to 6,000m, etc.

Due to the high cost and the long distance for renting a DP vessel, 12,000 USD a day, it further reinforced the need for a work boat to be built in Taiwan. Polaris was aimed to raise the underdeveloped level of marine research and other various tasks in Taiwan. Regardless of whether it is conducting energy resource research, marine species research, historical studies, ocean disaster rescues or offshore drilling, Polaris, the working boat, was capable of completing all those high standard tasks. So far, Polaris has already participated in the remote observation of underwater pipelines for Taiwan's largest power and oil companies.

SHING SHENG FA BOAT BUILDING CO., LTD. (SSF), the working boat builder, imported advanced computer software, design system and integrated new boat building technology to enhance Polaris' capability. It allowed them to leverage their collective technical and practical experience with the best methods and materials available to build light weight FRP working boats, at the same time with more strength.

Working boat is also called dynamic positioning boat, DP boat, ocean research vessel and DP vessel.

New compound targets key mechanism behind lymphoma

2012-04-04

CHICAGO, IL (April 3, 2012)––Scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia have come one step closer to developing the first treatment to target a key pathway in lymphoma. The new findings will be announced at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012 on Tuesday, April 3. "It's an exciting time to be involved in lymphoma treatment and research," says study author Mitchell Smith, M.D., Ph.D., director of Lymphoma Service at Fox Chase. "There's a new understanding of the disease, and new drugs to treat it. I am optimistic that over the next couple of years treatments will continue ...

Annual mammography with screening ultrasound may benefit women at increased risk of breast cancer

2012-04-04

CHICAGO – The addition of a screening ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to annual mammography in women with an increased risk of breast cancer and dense breast tissue resulted in a higher rate of detection of incident breast cancers, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. "Annual ultrasound screening may detect small, node-negative breast cancers that are not seen on mammography. Magnetic resonance imaging may reveal additional breast cancers missed by both mammography and ultrasound screening," according to background information in the article. ...

Changes in diagnostic coding may affect data that indicate decline in pneumonia hospitalizations

2012-04-04

CHICAGO – Although data indicate that between 2003-2009 there was a substantial decline in the U.S. in hospitalizations for pneumonia and inpatient deaths, analysis suggests that trends in documentation and diagnostic coding, rather than improvements in actual outcomes, may explain much of the observed changes, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. Pneumonia is a leading cause of illness and death among U.S. adults, resulting in more than 1 million annual hospital admissions and accounting for more than $10.5 billion in aggregate costs. "Given its public ...

Adding drug to chemotherapy following colon cancer surgery does not improve disease-free survival

2012-04-04

CHICAGO – Adding the drug cetuximab to a regimen of drugs used for the treatment of patients following surgery for stage III colon cancer did not result in improved disease-free survival, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. Patients who have surgery for removal of stage III colon cancer have a 50 percent chance of cure. Multiple trials have established the benefit of chemotherapy after surgery in reducing the recurrence risk. "Specifically, [the drugs] leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX or slightly different method, FLOX) provides significant ...

Oral use of antibiotic fluoroquinolones may increase risk of retinal detachment; absolute risk small

2012-04-04

CHICAGO – In an analysis of a cohort that included nearly one million patients who had visited an ophthalmologist, patients who were taking oral fluoroquinolones had a higher risk of developing a retinal detachment, a serious eye condition, compared with nonusers, although the absolute risk was small, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. "Fluoroquinolones are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of antibiotics. Their broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage and high-tissue distribution provide potency for a wide variety of community-acquired infections," ...

Chemo may get boost from cholesterol-related drug

2012-04-04

Johns Hopkins investigators are testing a way to use drugs that target a cholesterol pathway to enhance the cancer-killing potential of standard chemotherapy drugs. Their tests, in mouse models of pancreatic cancer, may yield new and more effective combinations of current and possibly new anti-cancer drugs. Besides their deadly consequences, pancreatic cancer and heart disease share a connection with genetic pathways that control cholesterol and a cell signaling system known as the Hedgehog pathway. (The name refers to the shape of its mutated protein in fruit flies, ...

How social contact with sick ants protects their nestmates

2012-04-04

In a research article published April 3 in the online, open-access journal PLoS Biology, Prof. Sylvia Cremer and colleagues at the Institute of Science and Technology, Austria show how micro-infections promote social vaccination in ant societies. Like crowded megacities, ant colonies face a high risk of disease outbreaks. These are kept in check by the ants' social immune system—a set of collective hygienic behaviours and adaptive changes in interaction frequencies that acts in conjunction with the physiological, innate immune system of colony members. Prof. Cremer and ...

Researchers use a game to change how scientists study outbreaks

2012-04-04

An international team of scientists has created an innovative tool for teaching the fundamentals of epidemiology—the science of how infectious diseases move through a population. The team teaches a workshop annually in South Africa that helps epidemiologists improve the mathematical models they use to study outbreaks of diseases like cholera, AIDS and malaria. Led by Steve Bellan from the University of California at Berkeley, the team created a new game as a teaching aid for the workshop. The exercise, which has proven extremely effective in demonstrating concepts in ...
