2010-10-19

SANTA CLARA, CA, October 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) E-Book Systems, creator of the patented Digital Flip(R) e-publishing technology, announces GNP has adopted its 3-D page-flipping FlipViewer(R) Xpress viewer format for its GNP Branded Gear Virtual Catalogs.

Founded in 1985, GNP has since become a leading supplier of branded products specializing in the service of event planning and higher education organizations.

"We chose FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software because it is extremely easy to use. The ability to re-brand the FlipViewer(R) logo and host the catalog on our own server also helped make the decision easier," said Justin Grosskurth, E-Commerce Operations Manager of GNP. "Having reviewed other digital publishing software, we found FlipViewer(R) Xpress solution much easier to use and less expensive. Also, E-Book Systems Customer Support Team has been fantastic, answering all of our questions in a short period of time."

With E-Book Systems' FlipViewer(R) Xpress solution, readers can now go to http://www.brandedgear.com/request-catalog/ and browse through the FlipBook versions of the GNP Branded Gear Virtual Catalogs. In a matter of moments, readers can view the catalog just as they would appear in print -- with real "flipping" pages plus much more.

"Our clients are more impressed with the FlipViewer(R) Xpress FlipBook format of the GNP Virtual Catalogs than anything. The look is great, and the pages load very quickly compared to our competitors'," added Justin. "The best feature for our clients is the search box, making the product research much easier. Being able to find our Item Numbers, Product Names and Descriptions are perfect for our clients and even our Sales Team. The ability to link is also helpful to our business as we are able to have link pages to our website, thus increasing the amount of online sales."

Besides the GNP Branded Gear Virtual Catalog, GNP also has plans to extend the use of FlipViewer(R) Xpress as Justin further disclosed, "FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator has been a great purchase. We have no complaints or concerns about the software's functionality or performance. Actually, we just inquired about purchasing an unlimited license! We certainly look forward to using Virtual Catalogs for our 2011 Green Gear Line."

E-Book Systems' FlipViewer(R) Xpress Creator software enables publishers and corporations to create and publish realistic page-flipping digital publications ("FlipBooks") easily with just a few mouse clicks. The created FlipBook can then be hosted on any web server for online viewing or distributed through any media (e.g. CD, thumb drive, etc.) for offline viewing. The software accepts any PDF, image and Flash documents as inputs. In addition, multimedia elements like audio and video files can be incorporated into the FlipBook to enhance readers' experience. E-Book Systems' optional Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution also helps to safeguard content providers' intellectual properties.

Key difference in how TB bacteria degrade doomed proteins

2010-10-18

UPTON, NY — Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have discovered a key difference in the way human cells and Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which cause TB, deliver unwanted proteins — marked with a "kiss of death" sequence — to their respective cellular recycling factories. This critical difference, described in a paper published online October 17, 2010, in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, may help scientists design drugs to disable the bacterial system while leaving normal ...

Older women with normal T-scores may not need bone mineral density screening for 10 years

2010-10-18

CHAPEL HILL – Since 2002, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that women ages 65 and older be routinely screened for osteoporosis and has suggested that a 2-year screening interval might be appropriate. However, what length the screening interval should be is a topic that remains controversial and undecided, with no definitive scientific evidence to provide guidance. Now a new study led by Margaret L. Gourlay, MD, MPH of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine finds that women aged 67 years and older with normal bone mineral ...

Mice that 'smell' light could help us better understand olfaction

2010-10-18

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard University neurobiologists have created mice that can "smell" light, providing a potent new tool that could help researchers better understand the neural basis of olfaction. The work, described this week in the journal Nature Neuroscience, has implications for the future study of smell and of complex perception systems that do not lend themselves to easy study with traditional methods. "It makes intuitive sense to use odors to study smell," says Venkatesh N. Murthy, professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard. "However, odors are ...

Yale University researchers find key genetic trigger of depression

2010-10-18

Yale University researchers have found a gene that seems to be a key contributor to the onset of depression and is a promising target for a new class of antidepressants, they report Oct. 17 in the journal Nature Medicine. "This could be a primary cause, or at least a major contributing factor, to the signaling abnormalities that lead to depression," said Ronald S. Duman, professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at Yale and senior author of the study. Scientists have had a difficult time pinning down the cause of depression, which afflicts almost 16 percent of Americans ...

Genetic test to predict early menopause

Early menopause affects one in 20 UK women. The study from scientists at the University of Exeter Peninsula Medical School and The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), funded by The Wellcome Trust, tested four genes associated with the menopause. They compared ...
