Dr. Michelle Epstein the lead researcher said We observed that the immune response in mice was the same no matter
These results demonstrate that Î AI transgenic peas are no more allergenic than beans or non-transgenic peas in mice Dr. Epstein added.
because it illustrates the significance of repeating experiments in independent laboratories Dr. Epstein said. It is also vital that investigators are aware of potential unexpected crossreactive allergic responses upon the consumption of plant products as we found in the non-transgenic peas.
Dr. Epstein questions the utility of rodents for evaluating biotech crops and points out that the MUV results highlight the importance of a careful case-by-case evaluation of GM CROPS

Initially doctors didn't realize Aspen's 6 hour and 20 minute surgery on June 29 would make history as the smallest liver-kidney transplant on record.
But recently physicians received confirmation of the historic moment which took place when Aspen was 16-months-old.

and bee researcher Dr Katja Hogendoorn postdoctoral research associate with the University's School of Agriculture Food and Wine.
The'flying doctors'technology is used successfully in Europe to control strawberry grey mould but it's the first time for Australia
and the first time in cherry orchards anywhere Dr Hogendoorn says. Dr Hogendoorn says the use of bees has many environmental and economic benefits compared to spraying fungicide.
The bees deliver control on target every day she says. There is no spray drift or run off into the environment less use of heavy equipment water labour and fuel.
Dr Hogendoorn says adoption of the technique will have the additional benefit of building up the honey bee industry
With increasing availability of suitable biological control agents future application of the'flying doctors'technology is expected to become available for disease control in almonds grapes strawberry raspberry apple pear

To his surprise Dr Askew found there was no significant difference. Dr Askew observed the position of each bird's centre of mass their wing motions
and the movement of the train in take off and then calculated the amount of power used by the birds to accelerate
and so not finding a detectable effect was a bit surprising Dr Askew said. These birds do not seem to be making quite the sacrifices to look attractive we thought they were.
Dr Askew also looked at how much drag the train created during take off by mounting a detached train in a wind tunnel.
Dr Askew pointed out that the feathers might adversely affect flight stability and the birds'ability to run.

#Wildland fire modeling can lead to better predictionsif we can better understand scientifically how wildland fires behave we'll have a better chance to accurately predict the spatial and temporal evolution of high intensity wildfires says Dr. Shankar Mahalingam dean of the UAH College of Engineering
Dr. Mahalingam is studying how wildland fire propagates in an effort to be able to more accurately model such fires via physically based computational models.

Forest Service Division Dr. Mahalingam and his collaborator UAH Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering faculty member Dr. Babak Shotorban are currently supervising four doctoral
students in the MAE department to do the kind of basic forest fire combustion research that can move our predictive ability from the experiential realm to scientific mathematical models and longer-range computational predictions.
In 1998 his previous fundamental work in turbulent combustion at the University of Colorado at Boulder led Dr. Mahalingam to do NSF-sponsored field research in Alaska comparing the properties of prescribed permafrost
The process begins with pyrolysis the thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperature Dr. Mahalingam says.
