NanoMarkets Issues New Report on Opportunities for Smart Windows

June 14, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, “Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – June 13, 2013 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, “Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020.” This report analyzes and forecasts opportunities for smart (self-dimming) windows in residential buildings, commercial real estate, automobiles and trucks, aircraft and public transportation. It also includes more than 70 exhibits providing detailed market projections – in both value and volume (square meters) terms — with breakouts by technology and applications. Technology coverage includes: passive retrofit films, thermochromics, and photochromics, along with PDLC, SPD and electrochromics. Both film and glass products are included.

Firms mention in the report include: 3M, Asahi Glass, Audi, BMW, Boeing, Cardinal, Chromogenics, Corning, DuPont, DuPont Teijin, Garware, Guardian, Gentex, GKN, GlasNovations, Glassonice, Innovative Glass, InvisiShade, LTI, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, Polytronix, PPG, Pro Display, RavenBrick, Research Frontiers, Sage, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Scienstry, Sekisui, SKC, SmartGlass, Solutia/Eastman Chemical, Schott, SPD Control Systems, SwitchLite, Switch Materials, Toray, US e-Chromics, Velux, View, Vision Systems, Volkswagen, Xinology and Zeledyne.

NanoMarkets estimates that the market for smart windows is about $2.3 billion today, growing to $4.7 billion by 2018 and $5.3 billion by 2020.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net

The firm has announced that it will be co-hosting a webinar on Smart Windows with the FlexTech Alliance on Wednesday, June 26th of this month. Persons interested in registering to attend may do so at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/519180638

From the Report:

– NanoMarkets’ research indicates that smart windows still have to overcome a perception problem. Many Architects and construction firms still tend to view smart windows as expensive and low performing. Another trap for smart windows companies is misreading the recovery in the real estate markets around the world. This may turn out to be temporary. If so smart windows firms may overinvest and see a rapid decline in profitability if real estate markets go into a slump again.

– NanoMarkets believes that the fastest growing market for smart windows over the period being considered will be for active smart window glass. This is already a substantial market – just over $1 billion – and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2018. Active glass windows combines the transparency of glass with full control of both light and heat and can be used both for buildings and vehicles.

– While the US will continue to be the largest market for smart windows, China is where the greatest growth opportunities in the smart windows sector will be found. Currently the market for smart windows in China is around $285 million, growing to $740 million in 2018. Many of the new commercial buildings in China are LEED-certified, making them very suitable for smart windows use. Also, these buildings are designed by large Western architectural firms with a strong familiarity with smart windows. In addition, the Chinese market for luxury cars – the kind of car most likely to use smart windows — is growing fast and will soon overtake the U.S. market. We expect that by 2020, China will account for 23.8 percent of the smart windows market in cars and light automobile vehicles followed by the US at 21.8 percent. It also seems likely that as smart windows technology is transferred to China, new Chinese smart windows firms will begin to emerge.

About NanoMarkets:
NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in solid-state lighting, energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the smart glass space for more than five years.

Algorithmic Trading, App Development, Financial Markets: Edgar Perez’s The Speed Traders Has it All

June 13, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders: An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, Published by in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012) and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, Beijing and Shanghai).

New York City, NY, USA (June 13, 2013) — Reviews at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071768289) predominantly offer top ratings for The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) by Edgar Perez, a global speaker on high-frequency trading; “The Speed Traders is a clear and informative read that can be useful to both seasoned industry professionals and those who are only exploring the financial industry.”

“One of the least explained areas of finance is high frequency trading and Edgar Perez’s book, The Speed Traders, gives an extensive overview of this topic. The insightful descriptions of the daily activities of the market and their role in the lives of securities dealers allow it to reveal the methods that traders use. The book utilizes interviews with recognized industry professionals and a timeline of the evolution of speed trading to provide the reader with a great idea on what speed trading is and how to use it. Some of the major focusing points of the book are the modern applications of speed trading. These applications are not only explained through examples and interviews but also in a clear way that excludes confusing industry jargon and paints a clear picture of the topic at hand.”

“The Speed Traders, written by Edgar Perez, offers cutting-edge intelligence on the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency-Trading. The substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT. Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly, walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high frequency traders. The interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry understandable. The first person narrative is key because it’s easy to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders that actually know what they are talking about.”

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012) and currently being translated into Bahasa Indonesia and Portuguese.

The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders explains everything there is to know about how today’s high-frequency traders make millions-one cent at a time. In this new title, The Speed Traders, Perez opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading. Inside, prominent figures drop their guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade. He contributes regularly to China’s International Finance News.

URALCHEM presents its new SOLAR product line and launches an NS 30:7 promo campaign at UK Cereals 2013

June 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

URALCHEM is using its traditional participation in the leading technical event for the UK arable industry, Cereals 2013, to present SOLAR, its new line of water-soluble fertilizers, to the British and Irish markets. The exhibition will also mark the beginning of a large-scale, year long promotion campaign for URALCHEM’s sulphur containing fertilizer NS 30:7.

Lincoln, UK (June 12, 2013) — URALCHEM, the second largest ammonium nitrate producer in the world is using its traditional participation in the leading technical event for the UK arable industry, Cereals 2013, to present SOLAR, its new line of water-soluble fertilizers, to the British and Irish markets. The exhibition will also mark the beginning of a large-scale, year long promotion campaign for URALCHEM’s sulphur containing fertilizer NS 30:7.

True to its strategy of developing tailored products that meet the demands of UK market, URALCHEM is now offering its new line of 100% water-soluble fertilizers, SOLAR. Currently, the product portfolio includes potassium nitrate NK 13:46, monoammonium phosphate NP 12:61 and calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2.With guaranteed high chemical purity, environmental friendliness and high quality, these products support a wide range of applications; they are suitable for drip watering, foliar fertilization of plants, root fertilization of seedlings, fertilizing potted ornamental plants, flowers, lawns, soccer fields and other applications. The physiologically balanced content of nutrients ensures proper feeding of plants. URALCHEM’s SOLAR fertilizers also help to extend the service life of drip irrigation systems because no insoluble mineral salt deposits are formed in drippers and pipelines.

“We are sure that our SOLAR fertilizers will add value in our supply chain and help to cement relationships with on-farm customers. Being able to offer a wider range of grades means that we can respond to the results of soil analyses more precisely with in-house products. This helps to improve crop quality and volumes through better balanced plant nutrition, thus improving on-farm economic outcomes. Furthermore, the company’s product range suits both farmers and distributors alike. We are pleased to say that different grades from the SOLAR product line can be mixed to prepare solutions with predetermined proportions of nutrients,” said URALCHEM’s Business Development Director, Mikhail Genkin.

URALCHEM is also using Cereals 2013 to launch a promotion campaign for NS 30:7 in the United Kingdom. The company presented this product at the last Cereals exhibition in 2012. Since then NS 30:7 has proved very popular worldwide as an excellent source of combined nitrogen and sulphur nutrition.

Within the framework of a new large scale campaign, URALCHEM’s specialists will hold a number of seminars with potential customers in all key regions of the UK. Together with representatives of leading machinery manufacturers, they will carry out dispersion tests and lay a number of test fields. The programme will also include a large-scale media campaign.

Mikhail Genkin commented, “As well as being consumers of URALCHEM’s standard mass usage products, the United Kingdom and Ireland remain key markets for the company’s complex fertilisers. The UK’s long tradition of using fertilizers to increase crops and its high level of agricultural sophistication has created stringent criteria for the quality and effectiveness of products on the market. Using special fertilizer grades with an appropriate ratio of nutrients is becoming essential to ensure the continued improvement of crop yield. That’s why we are interested in bringing here our most state-of-the-art and market-tailored products, and we are prepared to reach out to each farmer showing the advantages of these fertilizers.”

The SOLAR product line and NS 30:7 will be presented at the company’s stand 8-H-830.

Visitors will also be able to see URALCHEM’s other products that the company has been successfully supplying to the UK and Ireland since 2008.

Single women who prefer younger men are invited to compete for the title of Miss Cougar America at the American Cougar Convention, Saturday, July 13, 2013, 7:30pm, at Volume Seattle at Pioneer Square, 172 S Washington St, Seattle WA.

PAC Calls for Primary Challengers for GOP Senators Supporting Obama’s Amnesty Bill

June 11, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

America’s only political action committee dedicated to stopping and reversing illegal immigration and any form of Amnesty for illegal immigrants is calling for GOP primary challengers for any Republicans in Washington who vote “Yes on Cloture” for the Obama backed Amnesty bill S. 744 that is currently scheduled for a vote on Tuesday, June 11, at 2:15 pm ET.

Raleigh, NC, USA (June 10, 2013) — Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) Press@alipac.us / (866) 703-0864

“Republicans voting in support of Obama’s illegal alien Amnesty bill will pay a heavy price in the next elections!” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “We want the senators to filibuster S. 744 and vote ‘No on Cloture’ because this bill will destroy America’s ability to ever secure our borders or enforce our immigration laws in the future! This bill will flood the United States with tens of millions of future unstoppable illegal immigrants who will be backed and supported by the illegal aliens given Amnesty and eventual voting rights by S. 744!”

Senate Bill S. 744 is close to having the 60 yes votes on Cloture needed to avoid a filibuster due to the announced support from GOP Senators Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Orrin Hatch, and Lindsey Graham, who are siding with Barack Obama and Harry Reid and most Democrats in support of the Amnesty bill.

ALIPAC believes that most Americans oppose the Amnesty for illegal immigrants contained in S. 744, that a super majority of Republicans oppose the measure, and that much greater numbers will rue the passage of the bill when the negative consequences for American workers, taxpayers, and voters quickly manifest after passage.

“Many more Americans are going to be killed by illegal aliens than the current thousands we are losing each year due to the current under-enforcement of our existing immigration and border laws,” said William Gheen. “The number of Americans who lose their jobs, communities, taxpayer and healthcare resources, and voting impact will rapidly increase. The promises of future immigration and border enforcement will quickly vanish if S. 744 passes!”

A similar bill was passed that gave illegal immigrants Amnesty in 1986. At the time, Americans were promised future border enforcement that never materialized. The 1986 Amnesty was supposed to be for 1 million illegals, but quickly expanded to Amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants. This disaster led to the 12-20 million illegal immigrants residing in America in 2013. Using the mathematics of the 1986 Amnesty bill, passage of Senate Bill 744 “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act” will lead to more than 30 million new illegal immigrants in America by the year 2028.

Isolera™ Dalton easily fits inside a standard fume hood, requires no external pumps and is capable of both normal and reverse-phase separations, so it is completely compatible with the diverse purification needs of the modern research laboratory.

“Compounds are identified in real time during purification and this informs the flash fractionation process, enabling the correct product to be collected by the system. The system automatically accommodates different column sizes and flow rates, overcoming major issues with simple splitter-based systems. Isolera™ Dalton significantly reduces the number of steps required to purify and confirm a target compound, thus improving workflow and increasing confidence that chemists have synthesized what was intended. Quite frankly there is nothing else like it on the market today or that even comes close”
says Dr Sunil Rana, Global Product Manager, Biotage.

The instrument uses a wizard-based approach to method development, simple on screen prompts guides chemists through the system; even those whose expertise or priorities lie in compound synthesis rather than analysis.
