CHICAGO, IL, August 15, 2012 (Press-News.org) 360 Mobile Solutions has launched its NRCard(TM), a dual bootable microSD memory card that allows users to run both the native Nook OS and Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS on the Nook Color and Nook Tablet eReaders. The Android OS boots from the card vs. the system, avoiding warranty forfeiture.
"eReaders [like the Nook and Kindle] were actually around before the tablet, and we find people using them more and more as the demand for technology grows, and our economy, unfortunately doesn't," says Malik Shamsuddin, 360 Mobile Chief Marketing Officer. "We wanted to produce a product that has the affordability of an eReader with the power of an Android Tablet. It allows those without access or simply those that are on the fence about adopting a new tablet, to adopt tablet technology," adds Nabeel Shaukat, 360 Mobile President.
The NRCard(TM) is available in 8GBs, 16GBs, and 32GBs and ranges from $24.95 to $64.95 (Nook Reader Device not included).

PETA, PCRM address ICCVAM 5-year plan
2012-08-14
In public comments submitted today, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) charged that the National Toxicology Program Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) continues to fail at implementing its Congressional mandate to facilitate the uptake of nonanimal testing methods government-wide. Specifically, the groups charge that ICCVAM's Draft Five-Year Plan (2013-2017):

Graphene's behavior depends on where it sits
2012-08-14
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — When you look at a gift-wrapped present, the basic properties of the wrapping paper — say, its colors and texture — are not generally changed by the nature of the gift inside.
But surprising new experiments conducted at MIT show that a one-atom-thick material called graphene, a form of pure carbon whose atoms are joined in a chicken-wire-like lattice, behaves quite differently depending on the nature of material it's wrapped around. When sheets of graphene are placed on substrates made of different materials, fundamental properties — such as how the ...
Seeds of hope amidst Philippine floods
2012-08-14
Amidst horrendous flooding around Manila and major rice-growing across Luzon in the Philippines, some good news has emerged for rice farmers – Submarino rice – rice that can survive around 2 weeks of being under water.
Rice is unique because it can grow well in wet conditions where other crops cannot, but if it is covered with water completely it can die, leaving flooded farmers bereft of income.
Submarino rice was bred by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and can survive floods if they occur before flowering. The latest Submarino variety was released ...
Remaking history: A new take on how evolution has shaped modern Europeans
2012-08-14
Investigators reporting in the Cell Press journal Trends in Genetics say that new analytical techniques are changing long-held, simplistic views about the evolutionary history of humans in Europe. Their findings indicate that many cultural, climatic, and demographic events have shaped genetic variation among modern-day European populations and that the variety of those mechanisms is more diverse than previously thought.
Recent advances in paleogenetics are providing never-before-seen glimpses into the complex evolution of humans in Europe, helping researchers piece together ...
Scientists decode TREX which could see new treatments for cancer realized
2012-08-14
Decoded process could hold the key to future treatments for a wide range of chronic health problems including Motor Neuron Disease, myotonic dystrophy and a wide range of cancers, University of Sheffield scientists have revealed.
Experts from the University's Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, collaborating with scientists from Harvard Medical School in the USA, have revealed how a complicated set of proteins called TREX act as a passport for the transfer of cell blueprints which create proteins that are essential for life.
The researchers believe ...
First GWAS studies of obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome published
2012-08-14
Two papers that will appear in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, both receiving advance online release, may help identify gene variants that contribute to the risks of developing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or Tourette syndrome (TS). Both multi-institutional studies were led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators, and both are the first genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the largest groups of individuals affected by the conditions.
"Previous studies of these disorders have demonstrated that both TS and OCD are strongly heritable and may ...
GWU consensus report outlines new approaches for evaluating benefits and risks of obesity drugs
2012-08-14
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services (GW) today released a report representing consensus findings from a cross-section of stakeholders that could help transform the process used to evaluate interventions to treat obesity, a public health crisis that now affects one in three adults. The report, "Obesity Drug Outcome Measures," results from a stakeholder dialogue group convened by GW that, over a period of nine months, explored why development and approval of obesity drugs have proven so difficult.
"At a time when ...
Potent human toxins prevalent in Canada's freshwaters
2012-08-14
Ottawa, Ontario (August 14, 2012) – Nutrient pollution, one of the greatest threats to our freshwater resources, is responsible for the algal blooms that blanket our lakes and waterways in summer months. Large blooms of cyanobacteria ('blue green algae') can cause fish kills, increase the cost of drinking water treatment, devalue shoreline properties, and pose health risks to people, pets, and wildlife. A new paper just published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences shows that microcystin, a toxin produced by cyanobacteria, is present in Canadian lakes ...
Mysterious snake disease decoded
2012-08-14
A novel virus has been identified as the possible cause of a common but mysterious disease that kills a significant number of pet snakes all over the world, thanks to research led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—and three snakes named Juliet, Balthazar and Larry.
The virus, previously not thought to infect snakes at all, appears to cause "inclusion body disease." Long the bane of zoo officials and exotic pet owners, the deadly illness spreads among boas and pythons in captivity, causing micro clumps of clustered proteins to form inside ...
Moffitt Cancer Center researchers discover how cancer cells 'hijack' a mechanism to grow
2012-08-14
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues at the University of South Florida have discovered a mechanism that explains how some cancer cells "hijack" a biological process to potentially activate cell growth and the survival of cancer gene expression.
Their study appeared in a recent issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
The newly discovered mechanism involves histones (highly alkaline proteins found in cells that package and order DNA), and in this case, histone H2B, one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin. Chromatin ...
