Once downloaded, the e-book provides a quick reference for Thermafiber's product information, installation guides and technical data.

Anthem Marketing Solutions Study Compares Online vs Offline Pricing

2012-09-13

The fourth installment of a bi-annual pricing study produced by Anthem Marketing Solutions has further confirmed the increased competition between brick and mortar stores and online retailers.

When we studied prices higher and lower than that range, no clear advantage is evident for either channel. In an interesting reversal from previous studies, ...

Birth-defect mechanism found by BYU biochemists

2012-09-12

The cellular cause of birth defects like cleft palates, missing teeth and problems with fingers and toes has been a tricky puzzle for scientists. Now Professor Emily Bates and her biochemistry students at Brigham Young University have placed an important piece of the developmental puzzle. They studied an ion channel that regulates the electrical charge of a cell. In a new study published by the journal Development, they show that blocking this channel disrupts the work of a protein that is supposed to carry marching orders to the nucleus. Without those instructions, ...

'Mad Cow' blood test now on the horizon

2012-09-12

Using newly available genetic sequencing scientists discovered cells infected with prions (the infectious agent responsible for these diseases) release particles which contain easily recognized 'signature genes'. Associate Professor Andrew Hill — from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Bio21 Institute — said these particles travel in the blood stream, making a diagnostic blood test a possibility. "This might provide a way to screen people who have spent time in the UK, who currently face restrictions on their ability to donate blood," he said. "With ...

Gut microbes help the body extract more calories from food

2012-09-12

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – You may think you have your food all to yourself, but you're actually sharing it with a vast community of microbes waiting within your digestive tract. A new study from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine reveals some gut microbes increase the absorption of dietary fats, allowing the host organism to extract more calories from the same amount of food. "This study is the first to demonstrate that microbes can promote the absorption of dietary fats in the intestine and their subsequent metabolism in the body," said senior study author ...

Age, not underlying diagnosis, key factor in weight gain in children after tonsillectomy

2012-09-12

Potentially worrisome weight gains following tonsillectomy occur mostly in children under the age of 6, not in older children, a study by Johns Hopkins experts in otolaryngology- head and neck surgery shows. Sudden increases in body mass index, or BMI, have been routinely observed for months after some of the more than half-million surgeries performed annually in the United States to remove the sore and swollen tissues at the back of the throat. The Johns Hopkins study, in 115 children in the Baltimore region, is believed to be the first to dispel long-held beliefs ...
