Biomass continues to attract much interest as a renewable, low-CO 2 , and increasingly cost
competitive alternative to traditional fossil fuels for heat and/or electric power generation. At …

Sex-linked barring is a fascinating plumage pattern in chickens recently shown to be
associated with two non-coding and two missense mutations affecting the ARF transcript at the …

Domestication is one of the strongest examples of artificial selection and has produced some
of the most extreme within-species phenotypic variation known. In the case of the chicken, …

Identifying the molecular mechanisms of animal behaviour is an enduring goal for researchers.
Gaining insight into these mechanisms enables us to gain a greater understanding of …

Background The genetics underlying body mass and growth are key to understanding a wide
range of topics in biology, both evolutionary and developmental. Body mass and growth …

A promising option for long-term storage of CO 2 is to fixate carbon dioxide as magnesium-
and calcium carbonates. Slags from iron and steel works are potential raw materials for …

Industrial waste materials, such as steelmaking slags, appear to be potential raw materials
for reducing CO 2 emissions by carbonation. The suitability of applying a carbonation route …

An approach to capture and storage of CO 2 by precipitation of magnesium carbonate was
experimentally studied using aqueous solutions prepared from serpentinite. Serpentinite was …
