...Chavarro, a research fellow in the Department of Nutrition and an author of the study, wrote in an e-mail. Chavarro’s preliminary results were presented last Monday during the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. According to the press release, the folic acid in multivitamins is thought to be the most direct link to ovulatory fertility. “I think that multivitamins are definitely not going to hurt anybody who’s trying to become pregnant,” Chavarro said in the press release. “They should be recommended?...
...navigated the treacherous terrain of Franklin Park, his legs churning, lungs aching, stomach filling with lactic acid, senior Tim Galebach had just one thought: get to the last half-mile. Get to that last stretch and everything will be fine. “Once you have only a little [of the race] left,” Galebach said, “you can gut your way through it no matter how you’re feeling.” Using a late-race surge over the last portion of the course, Galebach blasted his way to a No. 3 place...
...some, the appeal of I.J.T. has less to do with ideology than a desire for a platform to voice their grievances. Rana Naveed, 22, a soft-spoken communications student who sports just the beginnings of a beard and wears tight, acid-washed jeans, is troubled by some of I.J.T.'s more extreme pronouncements, especially its stand on the proposed new music program. But he is excited about the prospect of becoming a full-fledged member in a few weeks, when he will take an oath of loyalty and then work to spread his faith and dedicate himself to the welfare...
...cities struggling to meet pollution standards. Environmental controls on electric plants have cut emissions of six principal air pollutants by half since 1970, despite a 42% increase in energy consumption. But even with mandated controls, old-fashioned pulverized- coal plants still spew nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide (think acid rain) as well as toxic mercury. Carbon dioxide emissions, blamed for global warming, would soar. Shareholder activists are increasingly aggressive about demanding an accounting when companies like TXU, which had 2005 earnings of $1.7 billion, stick to old coal methods. "TXU," says Leslie Lowe, program director of the Interfaith Center...
Some of the differences could have enormous practical consequences. Since his discovery that human cells lack one specific form of sialic acid, which was accomplished even before the human genome was decoded, Varki and his collaborators have determined that 10 of the 60 or so genes that govern sialic-acid biology show major differences between chimps and humans. "And in every case," says Varki, "it's humans who are the odd one out." Such revelations could probably lead to a better understanding of such devastating diseases as malaria, AIDS and viral hepatitisand likely do so faster than by studying...
