Cerner finds a treasure in data mining - Tampa Bay Business Journal:
llrx-royce.blogspot.com
The North Kansas City-based health care informationtechnology company, known mostly for the health-recorde software sold to hospitals and is leveraging the billionse of anonymous patient records it has at its disposap as marketable information to pharmaceutical companies and researchers. Cerner said the data operatiom is a big reason revenue for its LifeSciencews Group has increased by roughly 20 perceny during each of the pastfive years. Mark the company’s life sciences solutions vice president, predictedd that annual growth will be greater stilkl inthe future. “This is just the beginninh for us in the life he said. Included in Cerner’s data warehouse are 1.
2 billionh lab results. It also has smalletr numbers of medication orders andothetr data. The company collects the informatiojthrough data-sharing agreements with roughly 125 of its software By some estimates, it can take as long as 17 yearzs and $1.2 billion to develop a singl drug. Cerner’s data-mining capabilities can quicken that process and save money for drug companie s by helping the companies establis h a study protocol that maximizes the number of eligibl candidates fora trial. “We believe that can actually eventually reduce the cost ofdrug development,” Hoffma n said.
Cerner would not name its pharmaceutical Pharmaceutical companies and clinical researchers pay for Cerner data for other saidScott Weir, director of the ’zs Office of Therapeutics Discovery and He said Cerner’s data-mining capability can point scientists to potential new uses for existingt drugs. For instance, Weir said, Cerner’ds database might suggest that a drug used to trear cardiovascular disease could be helpful in treatingvcancer patients. Researchers then could run a clinical trial to test the The data is useful to drug companieds for much the same Weir said, including helping them identify and correct side effectzs from drugs.
The KU Cancer Center has used Cerner’s data-miningy capabilities for several projects. “They uncover information we wouldneverr discover,” Weir said. “It’s invaluable.” He said Cerneer stands to benefit financially, as from collaborations with researchers that can lead to intellectual propertyg that produces licensing fees and Cerner also can work with researcheras suchas Dr. Stephen director of the Center for Personalized Medicine and Therapeutifc Innovationat . Spielbert seeks a $3.9 million grant from the for a study of how the center can better capture data in pediatric cancer studies usingfCerner software.

He in turn calleed Starwood, which he said confirmed that the international hospitalithy firm no longer will maintaim the Wigwam as part of its Luxuryh Collectionof hotels. The decision was made in the last two accordingto K.C. Kavanagh, Starwood’w vice president of public relations. “Thie is separate and totallh unrelated tothe foreclosure,” Kavanagh said. Starwood and she said, “have spent many months negotiating and there were several material pointwof difference.

Standardized nuclear plant design eluding utility firms - Triangle Business Journal:
goldenayreyg1666.blogspot.com
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission certified the plantg designof ’s AP1000 at the end of 2005. Pre-certification was intended to help streamline an approvals processa that takes years before plant constructiomeven begins. Along with Duke and Progress, the , and the of Atlanta have applied to the NRC for licenses to buildxAP1000 plants. According to a Feb. 15 NRC letter that sets an application review schedule for the design ofthe AP1000, March 2010 is the targe date for completing the review proces s for the plant’s design.
Westinghouse spokesman Vaughn Gilbert acknowledges that design changez havebeen made, but he says the changes are minor and represent less than 10 percent of the overalk design. He says Westinghouse is responding to newNRC requirements, such as demonstration of safety in the event of an airplane He says the utilities have not requestexd the changes under consideration. But correspondence betwee n regulators and Westinghouse suggest that the company is pursuinfgdesign changes. In a June 27 letter from the NRCto Westinghouse’ds Robert Sisk, a manager in regulatory affairs, the NRC notexs problems with the scheduling due to changeds sought by Westinghouse.
Thomas Bergman, deputy directofr of the NRC division that overseess newreactor licensing, writesx in the letter that “ther remains uncertainty about the schedulde outlined in the February 15, 2008 letterd in light of changes. This uncertainty is created as a result of changee in the scope of work of the review requestedf by Westinghouse since developingvthat schedule, and delayed submittals.” Westinghouse’s latest revision, No. 17, was submittee Sept. 22. Those changes are not yet publicly NRC spokesman Scott Burnell characterizee the numerous changes asthe “back and forth” that is a routind part of the approvals process.
He says the planft design is sound and that the modifications are open itemsx that came up as Westinghouses talked withits customers. He says that because several utilities are interestedd in theAP1000 design, it was more efficient for Westinghouses to submit changes on their behal rather than for applicants to pursue changes Burnell says the final design for these utilitiez or subsequent applicants will be the He characterized the latest revision as the “17t h time that Westinghouse responded to staff Ed Lyman, a senior staff scientist at the who has trackeds the process, says utilities are requesting the design changexs to suit individual sites.
For he says TVA sought modifications forits Bellefonte, Ala., plant’s seismic design to fit the soil type of the Lyman says that if each applicanrt seeks reactor modifications for its the result could be many more changes, each of them requiringv regulatory review. Lyman says design changes add time to the review process and likely would add cost to the He says the outcome of the AP1000 review could affect how otheer utilities move forward with their plane for newnuclear generation. “Ity is a blow to NRC’s concept of standardizing he says.
Progress spokesman Rick Kimble says that while Progress submitted an application to the NRC so it woulsd have the option of pursuing new nuclear it has not committed to buildingy new reactors at its Shearom Harris site inWake County. The utilityh does plan to build a new nuclear plant in Kimble says design changes to the AP10009 have no impact onthe utility. He likens the changess to modifications one mightt make when building a Fixturesmay change, but the overalk design remains constant, he But the reactors, if built, will cost more than originallty estimated. In an Oct. 3 lettefr to the NRC, Progressd uses the $9.
3 billion cost projection of two new Florida plantsw as thenew upper-bound cost estimate for two new reactorxs at Harris. That’s more than double Progress’ previouws estimate of $4.4 billion. But even with the highefr projection, Progress says in document filed with the NRC that the construction at Harriw should not be as expensive as the work at theFlorids plant, which is a greenfield site. Although the Harrise site now has only one it was originally designed for four and will requirer less construction work than theFloridqa site.
Jim Warren, executive director of watchdohggroup , says Progress’ plans to rais e the level of Harris Lake for cooling water would contributd to the cost of new nuclear generation.

Sales heating up for Earth to Air - bizjournals:
aleshnikovenil.blogspot.com
Formed in 2002, Earth to Air Systemsd develops heating and cooling systems based on a technology known as direc texchange geothermal, called DX in the industry. The company’sd applications have been showh to reduce heating and cooling costs by 50 percenrt to80 percent, CEO Randyg Wiggs says. Earth to Air’sz system bypasses the more conventional geothermall heating andcooling model. Instead of usintg water as a source, the technology skips a step and controls heating and temperatures directly from the eartj withcopper tubing.
The tubed tap into wells that are 300 to 500 feet Environmentally friendly refrigerants are then piped through the Earthto Air’s revenue comes from licensing fees collected from heating and coolingt companies who decide to market and instalkl the systems. Earth to Air got its first international distributofr two years ago when Australian entrepreneur John Gagliardi embracedthe technology. He says he’s securer more than $30 million in including contracts withschook systems, mining camps, housin projects and major corporations, such as BP.
“We are movint into significant profitability,” Galiardi adding that he’s planning on expanding into the Southeast Asianmarkeyt soon. Galiardi predicts that Earth to Air willbecome “a billion dollar business or more.” Salees in the first quarter were up 60 percent from the same time last year. “We’r e living in an time when there’zs a huge demand (for products) to reduces our dependence on foreign oil,” Gagliardi says. “Twenth years ago this wouldn’t have worked. It wouldn’tt have even worked 10 years ago. But now the potentiakl is huge.
” There are multiple installationx of Earthto Air’s geothermalk system in the United but the company is just now setting up a formal distributor network, says Claytonm Washburn, chief operations officer at Eartnh to Air. “Our biggest struggle is havinvg to say no at Washburn says. “We’re preparing for a much bigger onslaught.”
