Medical doctors can diagnose milk allergies by simply detecting an overproduction of Ige but that does not tell them which one of the numerous proteins in milk--and other foods--is causing the allergic response.
Dr Fiona Clissold who led the study explains why temperature has such a large influence on insect diets.
Dr Clissold adds Being small insects can take advantage of the multitude of microclimates available. As mammals are warm-blooded animals that maintain a constant body temperature it is unlikely that temperature overtly affects the nutrient quality of their diets.
Dr Rachel Crockett Senior Research Fellow at the university's Faculty of education & Health led the research.
Southampton's Dr Abhishek Tiwary who is based within the Centre for Environmental sciences and Dr Prashant Kumar from the University of Surrey found that heritage buildings built from limestone
and sandstone are particularly at risk. Local authorities have been encouraged to invest in green spaces which can reduce greenhouse gases cut down exposure to pollution
Species like sycamore maple and Douglas fir (both commonly found in cities) produced organic compounds which combined with high levels of ground level ozone during the summer heightened the concentration of ground level ozone says Dr Tiwary.
In the future city planners should look into the species of vegetation they plant in green spaces says Dr Tiwary.

In the case of Chamois in The alps this could involve restricting sheep from higher elevations in some areas added Dr Mason who is based now at Laval University Canada.

During the most recent major outbreak the autumnal moth struck first continues Dr Jepsen. In the most severely defoliated areas an outbreak of the winter moth occurred a year or two later.
and after the outbreak and across a range of outbreak severities and found that dense birch forests survive far better than sparse ones says Dr Jepsen.
The small rodents such as voles and lemmings benefit from this says Dr Jepsen while it appears that reindeer use the heavily defoliated areas less.
We believe this may be increased related to pressure on the forest in certain areas explains Dr Jepsen.
The research team led by Dr. Pasinetti tested the effects of extracts from Dutched Natural and Lavado cocoa
There have been some inconsistencies in medical literature regarding the potential benefit of cocoa polyphenols on cognitive function says Dr. Pasinetti.
Because loss of synaptic function may have a greater role in memory loss than the loss of nerve cells rescue of synaptic function may serve as a more reliable target for an effective Alzheimer's disease drug said Dr. Pasinetti.

Funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and led by Dr Stefan Salentinig and Professor Ben Boyd from the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS) the team looked at the nanostructure of milk to find out how its components interact with the human digestive system.
Dr Salentinig said the research provides a blueprint for the development of new milk products.
We could even harness milk's ability as a'carrier'to develop new forms of drug delivery Dr Salentinig said.
Dr Salentinig said the structure is similar to a sponge potentially enhancing the absorption of milk's healthy fats.

Dr. David Jenkins head of the hospital's Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Centre compared people with Type 2 diabetes who ate either a low glycemic index diet that included bread made with canola oil
Dr. Jenkins who is a professor of both nutritional sciences and medicine at the University of Toronto said the reduction in LDL cholesterol observed in his study of 141 people could translate into a 7 per cent reduction in cardiovascular events.
Dr. Jenkins said another interesting finding of the study was that patients on the whole wheat diet seemed to have better blood flow after 12 weeks than those on the canola bread diet as measured by the Endopat test that uses a cuff on the arm similar to a blood pressure test.
Dr. Jenkins and his colleagues developed the concept of the glycemic index in the early 1980s as a way of explaining how different carbohydrates affect blood glucose
Dr. Jenkins said the combination of a low GI diet supplemented with canola oil had not been tested before on people with Type 2 diabetes.*

Dr. Sidani and her colleagues analyzed a sample of 569 first-and second-year University of Florida college students who were surveyed twice over a seven-month period about their attitudes knowledge and behaviors regarding hookah smoking.
Hookah tobacco smoking does not seem to be hampered by many of the negative social stigmas of cigarette smoking said Dr. Sidani.
and marketing of hookah products and regulation of hookah bars and cafes may be another way to counteract the positive attitudes young adults hold toward hookah smoking Dr. Primack said.
Although scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades their mystery remains as yet unresolved states Dr. Stephan Getzin from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig

It's not good news--as greenhouse gases continue to rise we'll get fewer storms chased up into Australia Dr Abram said.
along with data from tree rings and lakes in South america Dr Abram and her colleagues were able to extend the history of the westerly winds back over the last millennium.
Study co-authors Dr Robert Mulvaney and Professor Matthew England said the study answered key questions about climate change in Antarctica.
Strengthening of these westerly winds helps us to explain why large parts of the Antarctic continent are not yet showing evidence of climate warming said Dr Mulvaney from The british Antarctic Survey.

This would cost very little money said senior scientist Dr David Edwards of the University of Sheffield's Department of Animal and Plant sciences.
Lead researcher Dr James Gilroy from the University of East Anglia's school of Environmental sciences carried out the research while at the Norwegian University of Life sciences.
The work led by Dr Jurriaan Ton and Dr Estrella Luna at the University of Sheffield has identified the key receptor binding a chemical called BABA (Î-aminobutyric acid)
which is boosting plant immunity. BABA has long been known for its protective effects against devastating plant diseases such as potato blight
but had never been linked to immune responses in plants Dr Luna said. Binding of the chemical to this protein triggers a secondary function that'primes'the plant immune system against future attacks by pests and diseases.
Dr Ton added: Plant immunity that is controlled by a single resistance gene on which most conventional breeding programs are based is comparably easy to overcome by a pathogen.
Dr Oliver Berkowitz a Research Associate in the ARC Centre for Excellence in Plant Energy Biology and the School of Plant Biology at the University of Western australia was involved also in the research.
Importantly our study also revealed that the undesirable side effect of this vaccination a reduction in growth can be uncoupled from the beneficial immune reaction Dr Berkowitz said.

We seem to have found genetic footprints of the retreat of dwarf birch into its current refuges in the Scottish Highlands said Dr Richard Buggs Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary's School of Biological
but the other biomes have been shortchanged in the process notes Dr. Macedo. Only 50%of the Cerrado forest remains intact
Allowing that to happen would be an environmental disaster emphasizes Dr. Macedo. Despite big losses for the environment the law also introduced two key conservation measures that could pave the way for commoditizing standing forests in all biomes.
According to Dr. Coe No other country has attempted a registry of this scale. By allowing greater transparency the system has the potential to help improve compliance
Dr Ed Mitchard of the University of Edinburgh's School of Geosciences said: Satellite maps of the world's forests don't contain enough information about their carbon content.

The surprise according to Dr. Coe was the importance of drought. The forest didn't burn much in average years but burned extensively in drought years.
According to Dr. Coe We tend to think only about average conditions but it is the non-average conditions we have to worry about.
and makes them vulnerable to escaped fires said Dr. Macedo. These fragmented forests are more likely to be invaded by flammable grasses
According to lead-author Dr. Paulo Brando This study shows that fires are already degrading large areas of forests in Southern Amazonia
and overestimate overall forest health said Dr. Coe. The results of this project show that extreme droughts may interact with fires to push Amazonian forests beyond a tipping point that may abruptly increase tree mortality and change vegetation over large areas.
