GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA, March 13, 2013 (Press-News.org) The South African Guild of Motoring Journalists yesterday awarded the Boxer Porsche as the car of the year, beating rivals that included Range Rover, Ford Bakkies and the Kia family of cars.

Klingshield, the company who created the "smash and grab" concept in the 70's feel very proud and honoured to be the official supplier of Porsche Centre Johannesburg with all their window film requirements to ensure that their drivers experience a safe and comfortable drive.

Klingshield's new Nano Ceramic window film stops 50% of the infra red heat, creating a cooler interior cabin environment. The product has also been tested by the South African Bureau of Standards for impact resistance, scratch resistance and optical clarity. Applying safety film to the side and back windows of a car is like buying insurance. You never know when you are going to need it. Daily news broadcasts show that automotive attacks on cars on side windows are a happening event and car owners in South Africa have realised the importance of shatterproofing their car windows against intruders and flying weapons.

Today Smash & Grab is the number one after sales product for motor car dealers, says Leon Levy, the Managing Director of Klingshield SA cc. "By holding the glass together Klingshield reduces the access to the interior of the car and also buys time during break ins". Klingshield's new Nano Ceramic technology also reduces day and night time glare by up to 60%.

Many other car dealerships including Land Rover, Volvo and Jaguar Bedfordview, Volvo Auckland Park, Suzuki Bramley, to name but a few are utilising Klingshield because of their quality and service.

2013-03-12

New York, NY—March 11, 2013—Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new "plug-and-play" method to assemble complex cell microenvironments that is a scalable, highly precise way to fabricate tissues with any spatial organization or interest—such as those found in the heart or skeleton or vasculature. The study reveals new ways to better mimic the enormous complexity of tissue development, regeneration, and disease, and is published in the March 4 Early Online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Midterm stroke, death rates comparable for TAVR, standard surgery

2013-03-12

SAN FRANCISCO (March 11, 2013) — All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were similar for transaortic valve replacement compared to open-heart surgery in high-risk older patients at three years with no increased risk of stroke after 30 days, according to results from the PARTNER study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 62nd Annual Scientific Session. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system was investigated as an alternative to open-heart surgery for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis—narrowing of a main circulatory gateway ...

Sleep discovery could lead to therapies that improve memory

2013-03-12

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A team of sleep researchers led by UC Riverside psychologist Sara C. Mednick has confirmed the mechanism that enables the brain to consolidate memory and found that a commonly prescribed sleep aid enhances the process. Those discoveries could lead to new sleep therapies that will improve memory for aging adults and those with dementia, Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. The groundbreaking research appears in a paper, "The Critical Role of Sleep Spindles in Hippocampal-Dependent Memory: A Pharmacology Study," published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Earlier ...

Researchers found that retaining moderate levels of logging debris, also known as "slash," helped to both directly and indirectly increase the growth rate of Douglas-fir seedlings replanted after harvest. The findings, which are among the first to speak to the benefits of second-growth logging debris, are published ...
