Vitamin E
Published November 18, 2008, 3:34 am, ThirdAge
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that fights damaging natural substances known as free radicals. It works in lipids (fats and oils), which makes it complementary to vitamin C, which fights free radicals dissolved in water.
New life beneath sea and ice
Published November 17, 2008, 8:48 am, PhysOrg
Scientists have long known that life can exist in some very extreme environments. But Earth continues to surprise us. At a European Science Foundation and COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) 'Frontiers of Science' meeting in Sicily in October, scientists described apparently productive ecosystems in two places where life was not known before, under the ...

- Soil persistence of herbicides: This section covers studies on the persistence of several herbicides ("weed killers") in different soils. The decomposition of active substances is largely an oxidation process. Consequently, most herbicides decompose more rapidly in light, highly aerated soils. Heavy, waterlogged soils are more prone to slow decomposition of these active substances which can lead to increased residue levels in current crops and may even injure subsequently planted crops.
