A1/A2 Genetic Background of Cows, But Not Their Horn Status, Influences Milk Protein Digestion - Agrarforschung Schweiz
The influence of horn status and the genetic variant of the (A1/A2) β-Casein milk protein on milk quality and digestion is the subject of much debate. This study shows that the milk of cows with a gen...

Erstaunliche neue Erkenntnisse: Die Zahl Pi nimmt langsam zu.
Neue Analysen: Die Zahl Pi nimmt langsam zu
Interdisziplinäre Forschung zeigt: Pi war früher geringfügig kleiner als heute. Daraus ergeben sich dramatische Konsequenzen für die künftige Sicherheit von Kreissägen und Kreisverkehren.

Now!
Are you working with SoilSpectroscopy and RemoteSensing and are interested in how to deal with the annoying moisture content when collecting samples in the field?
Come join this webinar where the results of the EJPSoil ProbeField and STEROPES projects will be presented!

Pro-tip: check out the supplementary table, I think it's very useful for future literature searches ;)
Great work everyone!

Diamond is a solid form of carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure known as diamond cubic. It is metastable at standard temperature and pressure, converting to the chemically stable form graphite under those conditions but at a negligible rate.
