Ecological trends of food availability yield clues to Americans' weight problem
...urces, the researchers conducted computer-assisted searches of English-language publications to calculate per capita estimates of the availability of a number of foods items. Trends showed increases in the availability of fish and chicken, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, and low fat milk. Higher-fat ...BioOne appoints first board of directors

...ofnatural selection," Minsker said. "The algorithm searches the decision space andidentifies subsets of wells that accuratelydescribe the contaminant plume at minimal costs." The genetic algorithm then assigns each candidate monitoring plan a "fitness"based on both cost and error, where the erroris determined...UF Anthropologists Study Techniques To Solve Mysteries Of Dead Bodies
...d. One of the study's main findings so far is that searches for skeletonsusually need to be extended over a much greater area than previouslybelieved, Falsetti said. "This kind of work is important because we do get a number of calls aboutinformants who say they didn't do it, but 'know' or 'heard' where a bod...NIAID Doctor Successfully Treats Longest Case Of Malaria Infection On Record
... Using an extremely sensitive test that searches for genetic signature sequences of a specific malaria parasite, Dr. Vinetz found evidence of that parasite that had eluded detection in multiple standard smears of blood taken from the patient and examined under a microscope. ...World's Experts Plan Global Locator Service For Environmental Information
