In the second phase the scientists evaluated options for avoiding injury to'Honeycrisp'during controlled-atmosphere storage.

We found that the controlled-atmospheres used induced injuries typical of those associated with CO2

(i e. small brown lesions and associated lens-shaped cavities) and also larger dark brown lesions with often irregular margins the authors said.

The extent of the injury was higher for those fruit in an atmosphere with elevated CO2 for each level of O2.

#No greater injury risk on artificial playing surfaces, study showsnew research presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) found no greater injury risk for athletes

Despite these advantages many elite professional soccer teams are reluctant to install artificial turf because of a perception that injuries occur more often on these types of surfaces.

In the study Safety of Third Generation Artificial Turf in Male Elite Professional Soccer Players Italian researchers reviewed injuries involving players in the top Italian football (soccer) league

For every 1000 hours of play there were 23 injuries recorded on artificial surfaces and 20 on grass with muscle strains being the most common injury (13 on artificial turf 14 on grass).

The authors of the study do not consider the injury rates between the two surfaces to be statistically significant as only three injuries per 1000 hours of play were attributable to artificial surfaces.

The study authors concluded that there are no major differences between the nature and causes of injuries sustained on artificial turf

and those that occur on natural grass surfaces. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
