Experimental Radar Provides 3-D Forest View
An advanced radar technique to image forests in three dimensions has undergone an ESA-backed test campaign in Indonesia. A future space-based version could measure global biomass to sharpen the accuracy of climate change models. Teenage Violence Linked To Later Domestic Violence
Adolescents who engaged in violent behavior at a relatively steady rate through their teenage years and those who violence began in their mid teens and increased over the years are significantly more likely to engage in domestic violence in their mid-20s than other young adults, according to a new study. Genetic Evaluations Help Breed Better Bossies
Breeding dairy cattle is an inexact science, so many gene-linked traits must be considered. Some of the major ones are quantity of milk produced, its fat and protein content, mothers' pregnancy rates, calving ease and, most recently, stillbirth rate. Such evaluating of genetic traits has allowed dairy farmers to increase milk production to all-time highs. [Odd] A Romanian couple has named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitu

Planetary scientists have puzzled for years over an apparent contradiction on Mars. Abundant evidence points to an early warm, wet climate on the red planet, but there's no sign of the widespread carbonate rocks, such as limestone, that should have formed in such a climate. A new analysis suggests that on Mars, sulfur went through a whole cycle comparable to the well-known carbon cycle on Earth. Genetic Variation Linked To Alcohol Dependence Found In A Russian Popu
The same gene that accounts for part of a genetic risk for developing alcoholism in a U.S. population is found in a Russian population, according to a published study by a Yale School of Medicine researcher. Study Examines Role Of EGFR Gene Mutations In Lung Cancer Development
