SAN DIEGO, CA, May 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) When Managing Director Philip Sturgess' father started Engine Australia in 1958, he built it where the tarmac ended, and the road turned to dirt. "There were a lot of small farmers who used that road to get in to Brisbane and get their engines serviced," explains Sturgess. "So dad figured that if he built it where he did, he could catch the business coming in from the west."
And that's how a real-life outback yarn was spun by a family of smart, dedicated Australians. Today, with the company still headquartered in that same small rural town of Dalby where the end of the road used to be, Engine Australia has grown into one of Australia's largest aftermarket diesel parts suppliers.
"We have a commitment to quality," he says simply - which means their products and constituent parts are rigorously developed in an integrated operation that starts with Sturgess himself.

Study raises questions about use of anti-epilepsy drugs in newborns
2012-05-12
WASHINGTON -- A brain study in infant rats demonstrates that the anti-epilepsy drug phenobarbital stunts neuronal growth, which could prompt new questions about using the first-line drug to treat epilepsy in human newborns.
In Annals of Neurology EarlyView posted online May 11, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) report that the anti-epilepsy drug phenobarbital given to rat pups about a week old changed the way the animals' brains were wired, causing cognitive abnormalities later in life.
The researchers say it has been known that some of the ...

Navigating the shopping center
2012-05-12
A smartphone with GPS functionality is a delightful tool. It guides its owner safely and with certainty through the streets of an unfamiliar city. But after arriving at the destination, all too often the orientation is gone, because as soon as you enter a building, you lose contact with the GPS satellites. Then you are on your own – whether in the interminable hallways of the trade fair complex, or inside one of the branches of the local megaplex shopping mall. "Wouldn't it be helpful," Harald von Rosenberg thought to himself, "if at such moments the smart phone could quickly ...
First satellite tag study for manta rays reveals habits and hidden journeys of ocean giants
2012-05-12
Using the latest satellite tracking technology, conservationists from the Wildlife Conservation Society, the University of Exeter (UK), and the Government of Mexico have completed a ground-breaking study on a mysterious ocean giant: the manta ray.
The research team has produced the first published study on the use of satellite telemetry to track the open-ocean journeys of the world's largest ray, which can grow up to 25 feet in width. Researchers say the manta ray—listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—has become increasingly ...
Revenue-driven surgery drives patients home too early
2012-05-12
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Revenue-driven surgery and poor planning drive some surgical patients home too early, concludes a pair of logistical studies conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.
The studies show a correlation between readmission rates and how full the hospital was at the time of discharge, suggesting that patients went home before they were healthy enough.
The researchers recommend better planning and other logistical solutions to avoid these problems.
The studies appear in the two most recent issues of the ...
Low-cost nanosheet catalyst discovered to split hydrogen from water
2012-05-12
UPTON, NY – Hydrogen gas offers one of the most promising sustainable energy alternatives to limited fossil fuels. But traditional methods of producing pure hydrogen face significant challenges in unlocking its full potential, either by releasing harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or requiring rare and expensive chemical elements such as platinum.
Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new electrocatalyst that addresses one of these problems by generating hydrogen gas from water cleanly and with ...
