Written by the noted science author Colin Tudge, the book is based on interviews with Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell, the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep. They reveal their contribution to genetic engineering and cloning, and the control that science has over the process of life. The book's aim is to explain the story of how and why they came to cloning sheep and the implications for the future, from curing diseases to human cloning.

At twice the mass of Earth, the planet orbits one of the stars in the binary system at almost exactly the same distance from which Earth orbits the sun. However, because the planet's host star is much dimmer than the sun, the planet is much colder thanEarth -- a little colder, in fact, than Jupiter's icy moon Europa.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~4/XzUkZ4I4zBM?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~3/yQFN9n5lxFg/140703102957.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Whales as ecosystem engineers: Recovery from overhunting helping to buffer marine ecosystems from destabilizing stresses</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 03 Jul 2014 07:29 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A review of research on whales shows that they have more a powerful influence on the function of oceans, global carbon storage, and the health of commercial fisheries than has been commonly assumed.

Ahead of it on the tracks are five people tied up and unable to move. You are too far away to untie the people, but if you act quickly, you could push a very large man in front of the trolley and stop its progress. Do you do nothing and let five people die, or kill the large stranger? For the past few decades, many psychologists and other behavioral scientists have used this scenario, known as the trolley problem, to shed light on how people make moral decisions in their everyday lives. A new study finds decades-old psychological "sacrificial dilemma" experiments may have outlived their usefulness.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=Hb3gmyQqF8k:yZzhNP6POjs:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=Hb3gmyQqF8k:yZzhNP6POjs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=Hb3gmyQqF8k:yZzhNP6POjs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=Hb3gmyQqF8k:yZzhNP6POjs:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=Hb3gmyQqF8k:yZzhNP6POjs:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health/~4/Hb3gmyQqF8k?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health/~3/PrRvc0TBiTY/140702165932.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Rapid surgical innovation puts patients at risk for medical errors</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 02 Jul 2014 01:59 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Researchers have found that the risk of patient harm increased two-fold in 2006 -- the peak year that teaching hospitals nationwide embraced the pursuit of minimally invasive robotic surgery for prostate cancer.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=PrRvc0TBiTY:6vrxBYt_CtM:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=PrRvc0TBiTY:6vrxBYt_CtM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=PrRvc0TBiTY:6vrxBYt_CtM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=PrRvc0TBiTY:6vrxBYt_CtM:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=PrRvc0TBiTY:6vrxBYt_CtM:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health/~4/PrRvc0TBiTY?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/health/">Top Health News -- ScienceDaily</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=IzvBTYWYFf9Oq1MZc6VFzzcQALU">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> xrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169045592702403561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809291491922248033.post-61195846913346539292014-07-06T02:05:00.001-07:002014-07-06T02:05:45.192-07:00ScienceDaily: Top Science News<style type="text/css"> h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff !

These predictions are being contrasted with fresh data provided by the Hubble space telescope. It is estimated that only a minute fraction of the matter in the Universe is baryonic matter, which forms stars, planets and living organisms. The rest, comprising over 80%, is dark matter and energy.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~4/TkxX2Zzl62M?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="9" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~3/A_YEE2C2uOU/140701101328.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Orgasms and alcohol influence pillow talk</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 01 Jul 2014 07:13 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Orgasms aren't just good for your sexual relationship; they may also promote good communication. Results of a new study reveal that in the aftermath of having experienced an orgasm, people are more likely to share important information with their partners.

Outside factors can affect that risk, like smoking, which increases cancer risk, and regular aspirin use, which has been shown to decrease it. Now researchers have demonstrated the change in risk connected to colorectal cancer with regard to aspirin use. Numerous studies have confirmed the protective effect of the drug against different types of cancer, including reducing the risk to develop colorectal cancer by an average of 40%. However, it is unknown how exactly the drug influences the cancer risk.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~4/jVgxJtXOa9Y?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~3/DzemjysY1_c/140630094854.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Mysterious features on Saturn's Titan reveal the moon's seasonal changes</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 30 Jun 2014 06:48 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">At first glance, Titan has little in common with Earth. The largest moon of Saturn, temperatures on Titan's surface dip nearly 300 F below zero, its seas slosh with liquid methane, and its sky is a murky shade of creamsicle. And yet, fresh analysis of mysterious features spotted on the moon indicates that it experiences one of the same global processes that is important here on Earth. Bright spots in a large lake on Titan suggest that Saturn's largest moon supports processes similar to Earth's water cycle.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~4/DzemjysY1_c?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/">Most Popular News -- ScienceDaily</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=xrS95yb-J2QlLj8BQH9xK5g7EEE">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> xrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169045592702403561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809291491922248033.post-75620489563627809732014-07-05T02:05:00.001-07:002014-07-05T02:05:02.009-07:00ScienceDaily: Living Well News<style type="text/css"> h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff ! important;} div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div ul { list-style-type:square; padding-left:1em; } div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div blockquote { padding-left:6px; border-left: 6px solid #dadada; margin-left:1em; } div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div li { margin-bottom:1em; margin-left:1em; } table#itemcontentlist tr td a:link, table#itemcontentlist tr td a:visited, table#itemcontentlist tr td a:active, ul#summarylist li a { color:#000099; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; } img {border:none;} </style> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="emailbody" style="margin:0 2em;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <table style="border:0;padding:0;margin:0;width:100%"> <tr> <td style="vertical-align:top" width="99%"> <h1 style="margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"> <a style="color:#888;font-size:22px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/living_well/" title="(http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/living_well/)">ScienceDaily: Living Well News</a> </h1> </td> <td width="1%" /> </tr> </table> <hr style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:0;margin:0" /> <table id="itemcontentlist"> <tr xmlns=""> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="1" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/living_well/~3/HDg02cyFjug/140702203912.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Around two thirds of Viagra may be illegal, warn experts</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 02 Jul 2014 05:39 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">At least two-thirds of the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil consumed in the Netherlands may be illegal, warn researchers.

The results derived from the model demonstrated that the majority of herd outbreaks are caused by multiple transmissions routes -- including failed cattle infection tests, cattle movement and reinfection from environmental reservoirs (infected pastures and wildlife). The study suggests that improved testing, vaccination of cattle and culling all cattle on infected farms would be the most effective strategies for controlling the disease.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health/~4/nm0PgxFazwc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/health/">Top Health News -- ScienceDaily</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=IzvBTYWYFf9Oq1MZc6VFzzcQALU">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> xrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169045592702403561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809291491922248033.post-624897758610487312014-07-05T02:04:00.001-07:002014-07-05T02:04:49.424-07:00ScienceDaily: Top Environment News<style type="text/css"> h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff !

One of the major reasons for the failure of the 2009 Climate Convention Conference in Copenhagen was the issue of carbon debt. Developed countries called for emission reductions in developing countries, while the latter use the former's historical emissions, their carbon debt, as a reason for inaction. A new article suggests how to finally settle this question of historical responsibility.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=pkGFFHCPiMw:sE5AzU25dKs:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=pkGFFHCPiMw:sE5AzU25dKs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=pkGFFHCPiMw:sE5AzU25dKs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=pkGFFHCPiMw:sE5AzU25dKs:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=pkGFFHCPiMw:sE5AzU25dKs:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~4/pkGFFHCPiMw?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~3/deMbvWnQCqk/140704134640.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">The road to sustainable tuna aquaculture</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 04 Jul 2014 10:46 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Domesticating Atlantic Bluefin Tuna may help meet the food industry's demand for this endangered species.

The results derived from the model demonstrated that the majority of herd outbreaks are caused by multiple transmissions routes -- including failed cattle infection tests, cattle movement and reinfection from environmental reservoirs (infected pastures and wildlife). The study suggests that improved testing, vaccination of cattle and culling all cattle on infected farms would be the most effective strategies for controlling the disease.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=nm0PgxFazwc:Qzbx8XhQUrA:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~4/nm0PgxFazwc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="14" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~3/qOTWzJM7-j8/140702102214.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Probiotics for poultry production</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 02 Jul 2014 07:22 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Researchers have identified three new strains of bacteria that show good potential as probiotics for poultry production. Antibiotics have been routinely used to prevent or control poultry diseases. But due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Europe has banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters for poultry production. As a result, there is growing interest in developing alternatives, such as probiotics -- defined as live microbial feed supplements that beneficially affect a host animal by improving its intestinal balance.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=qOTWzJM7-j8:kvnfnWlcUQg:Gqkty0xVXF4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Gqkty0xVXF4" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=qOTWzJM7-j8:kvnfnWlcUQg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=qOTWzJM7-j8:kvnfnWlcUQg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=qOTWzJM7-j8:kvnfnWlcUQg:uY-AgU320Y0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=uY-AgU320Y0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?a=qOTWzJM7-j8:kvnfnWlcUQg:Ue2SbndxCZY"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment?d=Ue2SbndxCZY" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_environment/~4/qOTWzJM7-j8?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/environment/">Top Environment News -- ScienceDaily</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=yI7PCYwULsiAYvPWigDt8n-AHX4">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> xrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15169045592702403561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809291491922248033.post-5831522443787515002014-07-05T02:03:00.003-07:002014-07-05T02:03:58.221-07:00ScienceDaily: Latest Science News<style type="text/css"> h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff !

Most carriers control the infection and are asymptomatic, but severe forms of the disease kill over a million people every year. A new article now identifies a factor made by the host that exacerbates lung damage in severe TB. The results also suggest why gene mutations that render the factor inactive are common.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/fQC_wbfa3i4?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="10" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/0BXqn49cAy4/140703125857.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Women veterans want options, follow up support when dealing with intimate partner violence</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 03 Jul 2014 09:58 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Intimate partner violence is a significant health issue faced by women veterans, but little has been known up until now about their preferences for IPV-related care.

Written by the noted science author Colin Tudge, the book is based on interviews with Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell, the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep. They reveal their contribution to genetic engineering and cloning, and the control that science has over the process of life. The book's aim is to explain the story of how and why they came to cloning sheep and the implications for the future, from curing diseases to human cloning.
