Precision Agriculture Simplified: Yield And Soil Map Data Made Easier
Australian researchers report that they developed a simplified protocol for growers to convert complex yield and soil data into pertinent information. The resulting data and maps can be used to improve crop management, including implementing site-specific nutrient and pest management treatments. An End to Scorched Tongues?

Researchers prove key cancer theory: Animal study demonstrates how who
Researchers have proven the longstanding theory that changes in the number of whole chromosomes -- called aneuploidy -- can cause cancer by eliminating tumor suppressor genes. Doctors Trained On Patient Simulators Exhibit Superior Skills
Senior internal medicine residents who are trained in critical resuscitation skills on patient simulators become more skilled than residents who undergo traditional training, according to new research. Though prior studies have already shown that simulation training is effective in imparting such skills, this study sought to demonstrate the superiority of simulation training over traditional methods. In doing so, researchers found that simulation-trained residents out-performed their traditionally trained counterparts during a simulated scenario of respiratory arrest. Scientists Rule Out Link Between Specific Antibodies, Such As Folic Ac
New research shows that a woman's risk of having a child with a neural tube defect, such as spina bifida, is not linked to folic acid related auto-antibodies. Americans Trail Chinese In Understanding Another Person's Perspective
People from Western cultures such as the United States are particularly challenged in their ability to understand someone else's point of view because they are part of a culture that encourages individualism, new research at the University of Chicago shows. In contrast, Chinese, who live in a society that encourages a collectivist attitude among its members, are much more adept at determining another person's perspective, according to a new study.
