FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB) November 21, 2017

A2LA has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its Consolidated Audit Program (DOECAP) to provide accreditation to commercial analytical environmental laboratories. These laboratories are assessed based on their ability to provide services in a manner that is technically defensible and legally compliant, based on established contractual and applicable regulations, and in a manner protective of human health and the environment.

"A2LA is proud of this recognition as it is added to the various large government entities that place trust in the third-party accreditation process. A2LA assessments of commercial environmental analytical laboratories will provide DOE’s program managers with confidence that they are receiving high-quality, defensible data," said Chris Gunning, A2LA Accreditation Manager.

Under DOECAP, approximately 30 facilities each year are assessed by DOE staff. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, DOECAP assessments will be performed only by approved third-party assessment bodies such as A2LA. Accreditation in this program includes an assessment to the requirements found in ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the 2009 TNI standard, and the DoD/DOE Consolidated Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories (QSM). All laboratory program participants are expected to transition to third-party accreditation no later than December 31, 2018, unless separate arrangements are made with the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security (AU). A2LA stands prepared with qualified staff and assessor resources who are trained and knowledgeable in the DOECAP requirements, to ensure an effective and efficient transition for all program participants.

New 30kg-class hexapod added to family of 6-axis parallel positioning systems providing precision and versatility for loads from 2kg to 1,000+ kg.

AUBURN, Mass. (PRWEB) November 21, 2017

With the usability of 6-axis hexapods increasing in research and industry applications, PI introduces a new medium load 6-axis precision motion platform, the H-825 hexapod. The H-825 provides a self-locking load capacity up to 30 kg (66lbs). The motion range is up to 55mm (linear) and up to 38 degrees (rotation). High system precision is guaranteed by absolute encoders and an actuator resolution of 8 nanometers – with excellent position repeatability of ±0.1µm and ±2µrad, respectively.

Parallel-kinematic Design

The parallel-kinematic design of the hexapod makes it smaller and stiffer than traditional 6 axis positioning systems while providing a higher dynamic range. The parallel kinematic design (all actuators working in parallel on one moving platform) does away with issues caused by moving cables – a decisive advantage in terms of reduced friction and reliability.

Long Life Motors and Absolute Encoders for Reliability and Efficiency

The brushless servo motors employed in all 6 hexapod struts provide the long lifetime required in industrial precision positioning and alignment applications. The new hexapod also features absolute measuring position encoders, eliminating the need for referencing the system during power up. Absolute encoders also ensure that any operation can be continued seamlessly in case of a power interruption.

Controller / Software

PI hexapods come with state-of-the-art controllers and software tools based on 25 years of hexapod R&D, resulting in fast solution implementation to a plethora of applications from medical to photonics. All 6 axes can be commanded simply as Cartesian coordinates, and the center of rotation can be changed on the fly with a software command.

LabRoots will host the webinar December 14, during which attendees will learn the clinical impact on delivering much needed biomarkers of therapeutic response.

YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB) November 22, 2017

The benefits of genomic analysis are well understood, however, the majority of patients do not harbor druggable alterations in their genomes and thus are not candidates for targeted therapies. In patients whose tumors lack genomic biomarkers for targeted therapies or have developed resistance, clinical proteomics is identifying protein biomarkers for therapies that are benefitting patients, and fueling the emergence of proteogenomics.

This webinar will cover the assay development pipeline utilized to bring these quantitative proteomic markers into our CAP-CLIA laboratory. Starting from a targeted-discovery initiative to the analytical validation of our multiplexed SRM methods, an overview and discussion will cover the metrics used to validate assays.

Additionally, this webinar will introduce the impact these developed markers have on clinical research, including the retrospective analyses of HER2 proteomic expression in adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer and in advanced gastric cancer. Participants will better understand the metrics used to analytically validate a multiplexed proteomic LC-MS assay. They will also learn of the workflows and processes used in working with Liquid Tissue®.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Dr. Todd Hembrough, President of Proteomics of NantOmics and Dr. Maryann Vogelsang, the manager of Assay Development with NantOmics, will be the speakers for this event.

Hembrough obtained his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Virginia, studying the role of proteinases in tumor growth and invasion. Prior to NantOmics, he was a leader of the translational oncology efforts at EntreMed, focusing on defining druggable molecular pathways and inventing new drugs to target these pathways.

Vogelsang earned her doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to NantOmics, she established a CLIA compliant laboratory that offered both ELISA- and MS-based clinical assays. She has more than a decade of experience in translational medicine utilizing the mass spectrometry platform.

LabRoots will host the event, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific, on December 14, 2017, beginning at 8:00 a.m. PST, 5:00 p.m. CEST. To learn more about the webinar, discover the continuing education credits offered, or to register for free, click here.

Augustine also hopes to add an educational component to the meetings by bringing in guest speakers to discuss changes to the local golf scene.

“The more people we get there, the varying organizations that we get there, the better off we’re going to be,” said Augustine. “I hope we’re able to create synergy and benefit each other, and I’m already seeing it.”

Encompassing Myrtle Beach and its surrounding areas, the Grand Strand Golf Alliance aims to be as inclusive as possible. The new group was recently featured in an article in the Myrtle Beach Sun News.

Feedback from participants thus far has been positive, and additional members have asked to join upcoming meetings.

The next meeting of the Grand Strand Golf Alliance is set for December 12.

KeepCalling.com gives away international calling credit for Thanksgiving as a prize to a simple Facebook challenge.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) November 22, 2017

KeepCalling.com, the global telco providing long distance services, gives away free calling credit in a new Thanksgiving challenge this week, on its Facebook page. The contest lasts until November 27, 2017, and the winner will be randomly picked on November 28. To enter the race for the $10 Voice Credit prize, one needs to tag a friend for whom he/she is thankful, in a comment to the Facebook post dated November 21: https://www.facebook.com/iamhomesick/

KeepCalling team hopes to bring the significance of Thanksgiving into the present everyday life, by focusing on a natural celebration among friends and family members besides the historical reality associated with this holiday, which is complex and can be a bit controversial in the nowadays talks.

Plus, this will be a challenge for fans and visitors of the Facebook expat community to "officially" thank someone in their life publicly, which gives a certain depth and seriousness to the statement. That is why it is called a "challenge'.

Anyone who needs international calling credit is welcomed to join the Thanksgiving challenge on KeepCalling Facebook page by tagging a friend who deserves a Thank You. Entries are expected by November 27, 2017, and all comments enter automatically the race for $10 Voice Credit that never expires. The credit can be used to call different destinations in the world at the rates on the website.

Voice Credit on KeepCalling.com works like the most economical calling card, with the exception that credit is purchased online, in seconds, without the hassle of going to the store, staying in a queue or else. The balance never expires and can be used to call in 2 different ways:

• KeepCalling app is free to install on any Android or iOS device. It has 5000 installs every month and it has been optimised per customers' feedback.
• Access numbers are local numbers that allow one to call outside the country without using any data (WiFi, 3G or 4G). This option gives one more freedom to walk and talk, while experiencing the best quality possible on international calls.

Besides Voice Credit, KeepCalling.com makes available long distance mobile credit transfers called Mobile Recharges that are instant and make great gifts or supportive gestures. Most KeepCalling.com fans are expats, and the website gives them the opportunity to help people back home in seconds by providing cellular credit right on their devices, no matter the distance apart.

But many other customers are American, Canadian or Australian residents recharging their own cellular phones online, for the same reasons: easiness and instant processing.

Expats on KeepCalling.com also use Virtual Numbers. That means they live in the USA for example, but own a number in Colombia, so that their family in Colombia can call them as much as they need to without any roaming costs.

Existing customers who left their reviews on specialised platforms like Trustpilot.com, point out certain strong aspects that make KeepCalling.com stand out on the global market:

• Best quality-price ratio on the global market.
• Everyone benefits of free calling features.
• Payment is highly secure; the website bears the label "Verified & Secured" thanks to its strong security system.
• Payment is accepted in all currencies.
• Offers and bonuses are launched regularly for those who follow KeepCalling.com on Facebook.

KeepCalling.com is a website serving expats, travellers and USA, Canada and Australia residents who need long distance telecom services. It is a brand of KeepCalling, a global telecommunications company registered in 2002 in USA, who launched International Homesickness Day for the first time in history in 2016. Presently, KeepCalling provides its services to hundreds of thousands of consumers , with a focus on customer satisfaction.

Establishing India’s First Mobility Solutions Lighthouse City

NEW DELHI, India (PRWEB) November 23, 2017

Nov. 22, 2017 -- NITI Aayog and Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) are opening a Grand Challenge to select a state to host India’s first mobility solutions Lighthouse City. A Lighthouse City is a living lab for conceiving, financing and testing mobility solutions that align with the Government of India’s vision for a shared, electric, and connected mobility future. The selected state will be the first host of India’s Urban Mobility Lab, a program that helps project teams generate solutions to complex mobility problems and test their solutions as pilots in a Lighthouse City. The Urban Mobility Lab will provide:

• a multi-day workshop that rapidly advances teams’ solutions with the support of expert advisors
• an ongoing platform to support financing, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of pilots
• a methodology for integrating multiple pilots that address parts of the mobility transition into a whole system strategy in one location
• support in disseminating lessons learned to other communities in India and beyond.

The Lab will launch in early 2018 with organizational support from NITI Aayog and RMI. India’s Lighthouse Cities, and the mobility solutions that they test, will demonstrate ways to upgrade mobility services to meet the needs of rapidly growing cities while bringing operational efficiency and reducing pollution, congestion, and petroleum demand.

Opportunity and Need:

India has the potential to lead the world in advanced passenger mobility using new technologies, business models, and urban design. The Government of India’s vision is a shared, electric, and connected mobility future. India can realize this vision by leapfrogging the traditional mobility paradigm of privately owned, underutilized, fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. This potential leapfrog could enhance access, reduce congestion, and improve urban air quality, while saving India 876 million metric tons of oil equivalent, worth INR 21 lakh crore, and one gigaton of CO2 emissions by 2030.

Rapidly falling technology costs and business-model innovation make it possible for India to cost-effectively shift to a new mobility system that is shared, electric, and connected. However, India must develop and test mobility solutions on the ground in order to demonstrate the viability and benefits of this new system. Testing solutions at the city and state levels will allow India to establish a blueprint for national-level adoption of these solutions. The Lighthouse Cities supported by the Urban Mobility Lab can meet this need by demonstrating whole-system approaches to mobility transformation and creating replicable models of mobility solutions.

How to Apply to Host the First Lighthouse City and Urban Mobility Lab:

State government officials must submit a one-page application form explaining why their state is a strong candidate to host the first Lighthouse City within four weeks of this announcement. Applications should be submitted by relevant state government officials (for example, a state’s Director of Transportation, CEO of Economic Development Board, Ministry of Industries, or Ministries of Roads and Transport). Please see the “Urban Mobility Lab Grand Challenge Form” on page 4 for details about the application.

What is the Urban Mobility Lab?:

The Urban Mobility Lab brings resources and support to advance the design, integration and implementation of projects that will test new solutions to complex mobility challenges.

• Multi-day workshop: The workshop is an event that aims to take projects from concept to implementation. It provides aceess to investment, resources, connections, and an environment that together advance projects to a point where they are ready to go to market. In partnership with the state government, NITI Aayog and RMI will convene multistakeholder teams working on projects that address high-priority challenges across India’s passenger-mobility system.

By the end of the workshop, the teams will be ready to implement their solutions as an integrated portfolio in the Lighthouse City.

The workshop will be held in early 2018.

• Platform to support implementation, monitoring, and evaluation: NITI Aayog and RMI will create a platform for supporting the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the teams’ pilots. Interaction and transparency among project teams will support the learning and sharing necessary to scaling these solutions across India. This platform’s rapid learning process will enable India to quickly progress from one Lighthouse City to a nation of Lighthouse Regions.
• Integrating multiple pilots: Urban Mobility Lab will provide a process for integrating multiple pilots and identifying and filling gaps to provide integrated solutions that address electric mobility for 2-, 3-, and 4-wheelers, buses, charging infrastructure, data platforms and other issues.
• Disseminating lessons learned: Urban Mobility Lab will communicate lessons learned from Lighthouse Cities through multiple media channels and direct outreach to relevant policymakers and private sector decision makers across the relevant ecosystem of stakeholders.

Participation from local and central government, private-sector actors, and private and multilateral financial institutions will support the financing and implementation of the projects.

Senior leaders from the public and private sectors have already committed to participate in the Urban Mobility Lab.

Step-by-Step Process for Establishing the Lighthouse City and Urban Mobility Lab:

1. Host city selection: The first step is selecting the Lighthouse City, which will host the Urban Mobility Lab in early 2018. Key selection criteria include strong local government support, demonstrated progress on shared and electric mobility, and ongoing plans for smart urban development. The selected city should have a population greater than 1 million and a population density that warrants diverse modes of transportation. An advisory board from NITI Aayog and RMI will select the host state by drawing on these criteria.

2. Recruitment of teams: Once the host state and the Lighthouse City have been identified, the state government, NITI Aayog, and RMI will recruit four to six mission-driven teams, working on economically viable projects that address high-priority challenges in India’s passenger-mobility system, to participate in the workshop. These teams will have projects with high scaling potential, leveraging shared infrastructure and investments. Strong interest already exists from teams working on swappable batteries for electric scooters and rickshaws; fast chargers for electric vehicle fleets; high-mileage electric service vehicles for commuter routes; and data platforms for integrated planning, booking, and payment of multimodal trips.

3. Development of a common knowledge base for project teams.

NITI Aayog and RMI will co-author a set of research papers on key mobility topics to establish a knowledge base.

4. Workshop for pilot design and implementation: Facilitators and technical experts will

provide customized content, training, and feedback for each team’s unique project before, during, and after the event. The workshop will provide participants with structured working sessions to make progress on project design, tools and training to overcome technical barriers, access to private and multilateral investment capital, and a unique environment conducive to creativity and breakthrough ideas.

5. Implementation support and progress monitoring: As demonstration projects deploy,

NITI Aayog and RMI will track each team’s progress and publish relevant insights. The teams will learn from new iterations and use this feedback to improve the solutions in

order to increase their effectiveness as they scale nationally.

Mobile advertising company Curate Mobile Ltd. has released a new method for the early detection and prevention of advertising fraud.

TORONTO (PRWEB) November 23, 2017

Curate Mobile Ltd. has released a dynamic new feature for mobile advertising clients to combat the systemic problem of questionable traffic, resulting in superior traffic sources. By monitoring inventory in real time, advertisers will be assured that the quality of their inventory is on par with media dollars spent. When the detection of questionable activity is triggered, through custom parameters specified to each advertiser’s needs, the source is restricted and an immediate alert is transmitted.

Advertisers can proactively block traffic for a specific supply source, including sub-sources, as well as selected keywords in the URL or domains that are threats to inventory quality. There is also the capability to filter and block specific supply sources using criteria such as geolocation, operating system or the offer level conversion window. “This is a leap beyond simply relying on just the advertiser’s attribution. The mobile ecosystem has historically been very reactive versus proactive – which we are now able to do at the specific source level. Our custom rules can be defined on the actual offer level as opposed to the advertiser level,” says Marc Porcelli, Founder and CEO of Curate Mobile.

Recent studies show that app install fraud is at 7.8% across the globe. Fraudulent impressions within an advertising network contributes to fluctuating media prices. Where mobile attribution has historically fallen short of protecting advertisers, Curate Mobile has taken a proactive approach to safeguard high-performance inventory.
