"The CADET tool found that children consumed on average 293 g F&V (95% CI 287 to 303) per day. Clustered (by school) multilevel regression models with total F&V as the primary outcome were conducted to explore how the home environment affects children's F&V intake. Children of families who reported 'always' eating a family meal together at a table had 125 g (95% CI 92 to 157; p=

Oil prices have edged up as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its partners are set to extend output cuts until at least the end of 2019 at their meeting in Vienna.

Oil prices continued their upward trend for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday on expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the first time in more than ten years to support the growth in demand for fuel in the country.

"uBiome is a citizen science project that allows the public access to cutting edge sequencing technology to understand their health through the microbiome. How does the microbiome affect my health? We are all covered in trillions of microbes -- in fact, they outnumber human cells 10:1. The trillions of bacteria live on and in us are collectively called the microbiome. Like the rainforest, the healthy human microbiome is a balanced ecosystem. The correct balance of microbes keeps potential pathogens in check and regulates our immune system. Microbes also perform essential functions such as digesting food and synthesizing vitamins. Studies have also linked the microbiome to human mood and behavior, as well as many gut disorders, eczema, and chronic sinusitis."

"However, anthropological datasets show enormous complexity in how and why men and women behave the ways that they do [vi]. Studies in human biology and anthropology regularly demonstrate a dynamic flexibility and complex biocultural context for all human behavior, and this is especially true for gender.... No matter how much some want it to be true, it is just not that simple; there are no clear cut and easy answers to why we do what we do, and why men and women sometimes have problems getting along. To ignore the enormous wealth of data on how men and women are similar AND different and to try to tackle this enormously complex reality via one-dimensional approaches is just poor science."

Dr Simon Archer and his team at Surrey University were particularly interested in looking at the genes that were switched on or off in our volunteers by changes in the amount that we had made them sleep. "We found that overall there were around 500 genes that were affected," Archer explained. "Some which were going up, and some which were going down." What they discovered is that when the volunteers cut back from seven-and-a-half to six-and-a-half hours' sleep a night, genes that are associated with processes like inflammation, immune response and response to stress became more active. The team also saw increases in the activity of genes associated with diabetes and risk of cancer. The reverse happened when the volunteers added an hour of sleep. So the clear message from this experiment was that if you are getting less than seven hours' sleep a night and can alter your sleep habits, even just a little bit, it could make you healthier

"Minerva combines the best of a liberal arts and sciences education with cutting-edge technology and the latest research on how people learn for improved student outcomes. This unparalleled academic experience is designed to prepare students to be future leaders and innovators across all disciplines."

ScienceDaily (Sep. 4, 2010) - Global agricultural expansion cut a wide swath through tropical forests during the 1980s and 1990s. More than half a million square miles of new farmland -- an area roughly the size of Alaska -- was created in the developing world between 1980 and 2000, of which over 80 percent was carved out of tropical forests, according to Stanford researcher Holly Gibbs.

Throughout our history, mankind has created tools the same way, essentially using the top-down approach. Think about it. In the stone age, a sharp cutting tool was fashioned by using a larger stone to chip away pieces until the cutting stone was sharp enough. Today, a computer chip is made by a large laser that etches the circuits into a piece of silicon.

Our aspiration is to become the course management platform of choice for instructors and students around the globe. But of course, iversity's cutting-edge infrastructure can also be deployed for international research projects. Work is something you do rather than somewhere you go. With this maxim in mind, iversity has designed a cloud-based service that fosters limitless collaboration among academics worldwide. Faculty are no longer forced to work with the outdated software in use at their institution. Instead, they can sign up on an individual basis. Oh, and the best part: it's free.

Medical studies have discovered various factors that enhance the risk of developing prostate cancer. The treatment of prostate cancer can include careful watching and the best ways is to maintain a healthy BMI, cutting down red meat, pan-fried methods of cooking meat, healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and well-balanced diet.

Facts about cell "The shark diagrams help show where to cut," Kiskadden said One shark was distributed to each group of students. Using a worksheet that diagrammed the cuts as a guideline, Jessica Carter and Hunter Adkins got to work after Kiskadden directed Complete with a Venn diagram and a set of snappy instructions we will compare and contrast them and their actions," began the worksheet.
