Despite this, the Conservatives have decided to axe the watchdog that was set up a decade ago to regulate the junk-food companies.

Junk-food companies admitted they had not yet been asked to provide any money. Mr Lansley defended the plans,

Conversely, when these prices fell, body weight and diabetes rose. This is based on data from more than 5

Satellites smash debris threatens Hubble An active communications satellite owned by Iridium Satellite of Bethesda, Maryland, slammed into a defunct Russian military communications satellite 800 kilometres above Siberia on 10 february 2009.

The collision sent hundreds of pieces of debris flying at high speed across low-Earth orbit, threatening other satellites and increasing the risk to a NASA shuttle mission to fix the Hubble Space Telescope

But the debris has had a big impact here On earth, according to Brian Weeden, an orbital debris specialist at the Secure World Foundation, in Superior, Colorado,

Ways must also be found to remove the roughly 750,000 pieces of debris flying around Earth.

To that end, NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency hosted a conference this month to look at strategies for removing debris. The solutions floated include space tugs and Earth-based lasers.

and obesity fed a group of 80 mice either a junk food diet or a standard diet supplementing half of each group with yogurt.

As expected the junk-food mice wound up fatter and slower than the standard-diet mice and the mice that ate the standard diet plus yogurt were the slimmest of all.

On measuring the males they found that the testicles of the yogurt consumers were about 5 percent heavier than those of mice fed typical diets alone and around 15 percent heavier than those of junk-eating males.

Moreover the participants favored unhealthy snack and junk foods when they were sleep deprived. What we have discovered is that high-level brain regions required for complex judgments

The first main variable to do the classifications was the size of the wood remains in the debris. They are classified according to three sizes from the largest to the smallest explained Salcedo.

Normally the smallest debris in this classification is analysed not. Yet many fungi have to be identified under the microscope

The debris analysed was classified into nine groups. After classifying the debris the fungal species existing in each were identified in other words the community of fungi existing in each twig.

As far as possible the quantity of each species is established also even though this is no easy task. As Salcedo pointed out this last parameter is difficult to apply.

The other European studies have concentrated on large-sized woody debris which is why importance has been attached to the volume of dead wood in the forests

However according to the research by Salcedo and Abrego the factor that exerts the most influence on the diversity of saproxylic fungi is the diversity of the woody debris not the volume of wood in other words that the nine groups classified should appear the maximum possible number of times.

It looks just like the sort of debris that litters the pavement around the Christmas tree stands on Christmas eve.

This may explain the difference between bladderworts and junk-heavy species like corn and tobacco--and humans.

The big story is that only 3 percent of the bladderwort's genetic material is so-called'junk'DNA Albert said.

and flowers and you can do it without the junk. Junk is needed not. Noncoding DNA is DNA that doesn't code for any proteins.

This includes mobile elements called jumping genes that have the ability to copy (or cut) and paste themselves into new locations of the genome.

But Herrera-Estrella Albert and their colleagues argue that organisms may not bulk up on genetic junk for reasons of benefit.

because the enzyme targets a tiny piece of DNA--previously thought of as junk DNA--that had jumped from one area of the genome to another giving that little fragment power to unexpectedly turn on the gene.

#Logging debris gives newly planted Douglas-fir forests a leg-upthe downed limbs and other woody debris that are inevitable byproducts of timber harvest could be among the most important components of postharvest landscapes according to a new study led by the U s. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station.

Researchers found that retaining moderate levels of logging debris also known as slash helped to both directly

and indirectly increase the growth rate of Douglas-fir seedlings replanted after harvest. The findings which are among the first to speak to the benefits of second-growth logging debris are published online in the journal Forest Ecology and Management.

At levels typically left after forest harvesting where 40 percent of the ground is covered by logging debris we found that debris inhibited the growth of competing herbaceous vegetation

and so preserved soil water said Tim Harrington a research forester with the station and the study's lead.

This means that just leaving typical levels of debris in place after forest harvesting helps new Douglas-fir seedlings to become established.

The findings are based on a study of seedling development under three levels of logging debris--0 40 and 80 percent cover--at two sites in Washington

Harrington and his colleagues expanded on previous research on logging debris effects by increasing the number of seedlings studied extending the study period to four years and looking at the responses of additional variables like vegetation abundance

In addition to having a vegetation control effect the retained woody debris helped promote Douglas-fir seedling growth by reducing evaporation;

However where the use of herbicides to control competing vegetation was combined with logging debris seedling growth rates were observed the highest in the study especially where debris cover was 80 percent.

But these new findings suggest that long-term forest productivity will benefit from debris retention indicating much broader applicability of the research Harrington said.

#Celebrity endorsement encourages children to eat junk fooda study by the University of Liverpool has found that celebrity endorsement of a food product encourages children to eat more of the endorsed product.

#New perspective on agricultural plastic, debris burning, and air qualityto reduce fire hazard in the United states wildland managers often utilize the silvicultural practice of mechanically cutting woody shrubs and suppressed trees (ladder fuels).

These cuttings and other post-logging debris are burned then during periods of low fire danger

or part of the debris pile with low-density polyethylene plastic commonly referred to as agricultural plastic in order to keep water out.

and Water Association shows that inclusion of agricultural plastic in debris piles has no effect on smoke emissions.

The controlled laboratory study simulated debris piles that contained agricultural plastic in varying amounts to see

Based on the results of this and previous studies and literature reviews including the small amount of agricultural plastic in silvicultural debris piles as is practiced currently does not appear to affect the emissions produced under optimal burning conditions.

This study supports the hypothesis put forth a decade ago that burning agricultural plastic in debris piles would not add significantly to the emissions from a debris pile.

This research provides a key piece of information for wildland managers using on site burning to dispose of accumulated forest debris in a safe manner under favorable conditions with limited impact on air quality visibility

Forest debris that drains into lakes is important to freshwater food chainsresearch shows forest debris that drains into lakes is an important contributor to freshwater food chains--bolstering fish diets to the extent that increased forest

Debris from forests that washes into freshwater lakes supplements the diets of microscopic zooplankton and the fish that feed off them--creating larger and stronger fish new research shows.

Carbon from forest debris has a different elemental mass than carbon produced by algae in the aquatic food chain.

When these fast-moving streams--full of detritus from forest foliage--hit the slow-moving lake the debris falls out of suspension

Debris is broken down by bacteria which is consumed in turn by zooplankton: tiny translucent creatures that also feed on algae.
