In a bug-eat-bug world, researchers are using a unique Chinese import to battle soybean aphids
University of Minnesota scientists are field testing a beneficial insect, a stingless wasp from China also known as Binodoxys communis, that kills soybean aphids. A successful field test would be a major breakthrough in controlling a damaging crop pest.   view more (2007-07-25)

Heart failure is more common but less fatal in South Asian people
In the UK, more South Asian people are admitted to hospital with heart failure but are less likely to die than white people, according to a study in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2003-09-03)

Study reveals ethnic differences in treatment for heart disease
South Asian patients are less likely to receive treatment for coronary artery disease than white patients, finds a study in this week's BMJ.   view more (2002-02-27)

Action to prevent diabetes should begin in childhood
Action to prevent non-insulin dependent diabetes and heart disease in South Asian people may need to begin during childhood, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in London identified 3,415 white and 227 South Asian children aged 8 to 11 years from primary schools in 10 British towns. Blood... view more (2002-03-13)

Best Microchemical Study of an Archeomaterial
Bronze age artifacts, physical links between us and people alive 3000 years ago, have long been closely examined with physics-based instruments such as x-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry.   Now scrutiny of microchemical surface properties of such ancient bronze in some... view more (2001-09-04)

South Asian patients are missing out on cholesterol drugs
Patients in general practices with a greater South Asian population are less likely to be prescribed cholesterol lowering drugs, despite being at a higher risk of coronary heart disease than white patients, finds a study in this week`s BMJ.   view more (2002-07-03)

Seniors unfairly stereotyped as grouchy and frail
A study of caregivers of Alzheimer's patients and non-caregivers done by the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada revealed that seniors are being stereotyped as grouchy, inflexible to change, and mostly living in nursing homes, when the opposite is true.   view more (2007-05-02)

Outwitting pesky parasites
Across the southern United States, an invisible, yet deadly parasite known as the root-knot nematode is crippling soybean crops.   view more (2007-07-16)

Conductive plastics made from natural, renewable, environmentally friendly soybeans
Polymer matrix composites with carbon black are very interesting materials. This is because the carbon black can be used as filler material and can beneficially modify the electrical and mechanical properties of the used matrixes.   view more (2007-05-30)

Risk of birth complications varies between racial groups
Babies born to South Asian women are at a higher risk of perinatal mortality (death before, during or shortly after birth) than babies born to black or white women, concludes a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2007-03-02)

Anaemia still common among south Asian and Chinese women in the UK
Lack of awareness of the link between anaemia and diet may partly explain why anaemia remains more common among women of South Asian and Chinese ethnic origin in the United Kingdom than in women of European ethnic origin, suggests a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at the University of... view more (2001-04-18)

Soybean varieties viable in southern Indiana, resistant to root-knot nematode
Purdue University researchers have identified several soybean varieties that grow well in areas of the Midwest like southern Indiana and are resistant to root-knot nematodes, a plant-destroying parasite with a recently confirmed presence in that part of the state.   view more (2008-03-24)

Second generation South Asian babies born in UK still below average weight
Second generation babies born to South Asian families in the UK are still well below national average weight, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Insects take a bigger bite out of plants in a higher CO2 world
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are rising at an alarming rate, and new research indicates that soybean plant defenses go down as CO2 goes up. Elevated CO2 impairs a key component of the plant's defenses against leaf-eating insects, according to the report.   view more (2008-03-25)

'Nanorust' cleans arsenic from drinking water
The discovery of unexpected magnetic interactions between ultrasmall specks of rust is leading scientists at Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) to develop a revolutionary, low-cost technology for cleaning arsenic from drinking water.   view more (2006-11-10)

Researchers identify energy gains and environmental impacts of corn ethanol and soybean biodiesel
The first comprehensive analysis of the full life cycles of soybean biodiesel and corn grain ethanol shows that biodiesel has much less of an impact on the environment and a much higher net energy benefit than corn ethanol, but that neither can do much to meet U.S. energy demand.   view more (2006-07-12)
