Microwaves Can Probe Fat Content In Supermarket Food
Microwaves used for zapping instant meals can also be used to determine the fat and salt content of supermarket food, according to new research. The aim of the project is to develop a new fast and non-invasive method of predicting the fat content in meat products. This type of constant real-time monitoring during the production process could help reduce waste, maximise yield, reduce laboratory testing and save energy. Search Technique For Images Recognises Visual Patterns
Dutch researcher Mirela Tanase has developed a new technique for finding images using search engines. Her technique is based on how the human eye recognises objects. It can increase the success rate of certain search operations for objects from 10 to 70 percent. Study Reveals High Infection Rate In Teens For Virus Linked To Cervica

Performing Monkeys In Asia Carry Viruses That Could Jump Species To Hu
Some urban performing monkeys in Indonesia are carrying several retroviruses that are capable of infecting people, according to a new study led by University of Washington researchers. The results indicate that contact with performing monkeys, which is common in many Asian countries, could represent a little-known path for viruses to jump the species barrier from monkeys to humans and eventually cause human disease. Forests Damaged By Hurricane Katrina Become Major Carbon Dioxide Sourc
With the help of NASA satellite data, a research team has estimated that Hurricane Katrina killed or severely damaged 320 million large trees in Gulf Coast forests, which weakened the role the forests play in storing carbon from the atmosphere. The damage has led to these forests releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in

New Soybean Pulls Nitrogen From Soil, Not Air
Growers may soon have the option of planting a non-transgenically modified soybean variety that improves recovery of nitrogen from land-applied animal waste. That's thanks to a newly released soybean germplasm that removes large amounts of nitrogen applied to soil. If developed into a new cultivar, it could become an ideal candidate for animal producers managing waste generated by their operations.
