The validation of this method for more products will also provide better guarantees to consumers that the labelled content of milk products was determined with globally standardized methodology Dr. van den Bijgaart added.

but the latest research from Queen's Palaeoecologist Dr Chris Hunt suggests otherwise. A major analysis of vegetation histories across the three islands and the SE Asian mainland has revealed a pattern of repeated disturbance of vegetation since the end of the last ice age approximately 11000 years ago.
It is the culmination of almost 15 years of field work by Dr Hunt involving the collection of pollen samples across the region and a major review of existing palaeoecology research
which was completed in partnership with Dr Ryan Rabett from Cambridge university. Evidence of human activity in rainforests is extremely difficult to find

In addition your doctor may recommend a different screening schedule than the general guidelines based on your personal history your family history or other factors.

Study author Dr Gabriele Macho examined the diet of Paranthropus boisei nicknamed Nutcracker Man because of his big flat molar teeth and powerful jaws through studying modern-day baboons
Dr Macho's study finds that baboons today eat large quantities of C4 tiger nuts
Dr Macho's study is based on the assumption that baboons intuitively select food according to their needs.
Dr Macho modified the findings of the previous study on baboons by Stuart Altmann (1998) on how long it took the year-old baboons to dig up tiger nuts
Dr Macho also factored in the likely calorie intake that would be needed by a big-brained human relative.
Dr Macho suggests that hominins'teeth suffered abrasion and wear and tear due to these starches. The study finds that baboons'teeth have similar marks giving clues about their pattern of consumption.
Dr Macho from the School of Archaeology at Oxford university said:''I believe that the theory--that Nutcracker Man lived on large amounts of tiger nuts-helps settle the debate about what our early human ancestor ate.

Apple employee Afshad Mistri is the company's secret weapon in a stealth campaign to get the ipad into the hands of doctors.
Many doctors say that bringing an ipad to the bedside lets them administer a far more intimate and interactive level of care than they'd previously thought possible.
The device has freed up doctors to read papers and look up information no matter where they are.
It's not entirely clear why Apple cares so much about doctors. Why have a guy like Afhsad Mistri spending his days talking to doctors and medical software developers?
Why is healthcare the one vertical market that Apple promotes on its ipad apps for business page?
