RICHMOND, VA, January 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) AgilQuest Corporation released a new version of OnBoard, their hoteling and conference room management technology, continuing features and capabilities which increase their lead in the workplace optimization market for large commercial firms and federal government agencies.
"Our customers asked for help shifting their culture from day-at-a-time to hour-by-hour and to support the location-aware phones everyone has, so we are delivering that and more in version 5.5." says Torrance Houlihan, VP of Product Management.
As the leader in hoteling technology for the last 19 years, OnBoard already delivers the features necessary to get started with office space utilization and reach above-average rates of 70% to 85%. Many early adopters have now maxed out and need more to achieve 90% to 95% utilization and still maintain high productivity and morale. OnBoard 5.5's new, customer-driven features lend that support: an iPhone native app interface, autobump warning emails, hour-by-hour reservation length control, autobump at a specific time of day, a 1-click cancel button for last-minute schedule changes, and more.
"The OnBoard native app for iPhone is a huge convenience for mobile workers and a big leap forward for the organization's hoteling program. AgilQuest innovation often focuses on making it easier for users to check in, but here we are leveraging location-based services on the dominant phone and BYOD platforms to increase both user adoption and utilization" says John Vivadelli, CEO and founder at AgilQuest.
These changes improve operations for all organizations who aim to save office space costs and appeal to workers with flexible work, but provide even more support to evolving organizational culture from basic desk sharing and room scheduling to advanced workplace optimization with substantial and long-lasting ROI. OnBoard 5.5 is available immediately.

Case Study Examines Prizes for Innovation in Assessment
2013-01-10
Getting Smart released a report on the Automated Student Assessment Prize (ASAP). The case study illustrates a powerful philanthropic use of prizes to drive focused innovation with the goal of promoting deeper learning.
The first two phases of ASAP were sponsored by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to promote focused innovation in student writing assessment.
"ASAP was designed to answer a basic question: Can a computer grade a student-written response on a state-administered test as well as or better than a human grader?" explained co-author Jaison ...
Who and What Drives MBA Rankings? MBA Compass Compares Businessweek, Financial Times, Economist, Forbes, and US News
2013-01-10
MBA Rankings are used to assess the quality of programs and schools. Depending on the publisher, however, rankings follow different methodologies. The platform Master of Business Administration Compass explored internationally recognized full-time MBA rankings from Businessweek, Financial Times, Economist, Forbes, and US News using three dimensions:
Ranking criteria: Which topics are covered by the ranking?
Sources of information: Who provides the information?
Influence: Which groups and topics are given the highest weighting and have greatest impact on the ranking? ...
NASA's Hubble reveals rogue planetary orbit for Fomalhaut B
2013-01-09
Newly released NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of a vast debris disk encircling the nearby star Fomalhaut and a mysterious planet circling it may provide forensic evidence of a titanic planetary disruption in the system.
Astronomers are surprised to find the debris belt is wider than previously known, spanning a section of space from 14 to nearly 20 billion miles from the star. Even more surprisingly, the latest Hubble images have allowed a team of astronomers to calculate the planet follows an unusual elliptical orbit that carries it on a potentially destructive ...
Nursing gerbils unravel benefit of multiple mothers in collective mammals
2013-01-09
In mammals such as rodents that raise their young as a group, infants will nurse from their mother as well as other females, a dynamic known as allosuckling. Ecologists have long hypothesized that allosuckling lets newborns stockpile antibodies to various diseases, but the experimental proof has been lacking until now.
An in-press report in the journal Mammalian Biology found that infant Mongolian gerbils that suckled from females given separate vaccines for two different diseases wound up with antibodies for both illnesses.
The findings not only demonstrate the potential ...
Scientists peer into a brown dwarf, find stormy atmosphere
2013-01-09
A University of Arizona-led team of astronomers for the first time has used NASA's Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes simultaneously to peer into the stormy atmosphere of a brown dwarf, creating the most detailed "weather map" yet for this class of strange, not-quite-star-and-not-quite-planet objects. The forecast shows wind-driven, planet-sized clouds enshrouding these strange worlds.
Brown dwarfs form out of condensing gas like stars but fail to accrue enough mass to ignite the nuclear fusion process necessary to turn them into a star. Instead, they pass their lives ...
Asteroid belt found around Vega
2013-01-09
Vega, the second brightest star in northern night skies, has an asteroid belt much like our sun, discovered by a University of Arizona-lead team of astronomers. A wide gap between the dust belts in nearby bright stars is a strong hint of yet-undiscovered planets orbiting the stars.
The findings from the Infrared Space Telescopes are the first to show an asteroid-like belt ringing Vega. The discovery of an asteroid belt around Vega makes it more similar to its twin, a star called Fomalhaut, than previously known. Both stars now are known to have inner, warm asteroid belts ...

Small peptide ameliorates autoimmune skin blistering disease in mice
Pemphigus vulgaris is a life-threatening autoimmune skin disease that is occurs when the body's immune system generates antibodies that target proteins in the skin known as desomogleins. Desmogleins help to form the adhesive bonds that hold skin cells together and keep the skin intact. Currently, pemphigus vulgaris is treated by long-term immune suppression; however, this can leave the patient susceptible to infection. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Jens Waschke ...

Newly found 'volume control' in the brain promotes learning, memory
2013-01-09
WASHINGTON — Scientists have long wondered how nerve cell activity in the brain's hippocampus, the epicenter for learning and memory, is controlled — too much synaptic communication between neurons can trigger a seizure, and too little impairs information processing, promoting neurodegeneration. Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say they now have an answer. In the January 10 issue of Neuron, they report that synapses that link two different groups of nerve cells in the hippocampus serve as a kind of "volume control," keeping neuronal activity throughout ...
A new treatment for kidney disease-associated heart failure?
2013-01-09
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients frequently suffer from mineral bone disorder, which causes vascular calcification and, eventually, chronic heart failure. Similar to patients with CKD, mice with low levels of the protein klotho (klotho hypomorphic mice) also develop vascular calcification and have shorter life spans compared to normal mice. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Florian Lang and colleagues at the University of Tübingen in Germany, found that treatment with the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone reduced vascular calcification ...
