A team led by researchers from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) has identified a relationship between body weight and composition of the gastrointestinal microflora. The work, published in the journal Obesity, suggests that the intestinal microflora contributes to the body's energy supply and its influence on the regulation of body weight. The results may encourage the design of new strategies to combat obesity.

CSIC researcher Yolanda Sanz, Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology, explains: "These new research on the relationship between specific components of the intestinal microflora, lifestyle and body weight regulation may be key in advancing the development of new strategies for nutritional intervention to contribute more effectively to prevent obesity and associated metabolic diseases by modulating the composition of the flora.

The European market for industrial applications of carbon dioxide, mainly for the food and water treatment, represents 3 million tons per year and meet a steady growth of 3% per year. To accompany this growth, Air Liquide is investing in two new units of recovery of carbon dioxide in Bazancourt, France, and Rozenburg, The Netherlands, with an overall investment of close to 20 million euros.

The factory will Bazancourt value to 120,000 tons / year of carbon dioxide and will be launched in late 2009. The investment provides a rail connection to the factory to limit road transport. Rozenburg factory, whose implementation is expected in the first half of 2010, will value 50,000 tons / year of carbon dioxide in particular to respond to the strong growth of greenhouse crops in the Netherlands.

Before considering this type of corrosion, differential aeration define as the difference in the degree of oxygenation, usually by aeration, which can exist in different adjacent media. We say "usually by aeration, because it can also be associated with the difference of oxygen in media with different degrees of moisture, or dry.

Differential aeration Examples include:

- Soils with areas of different degrees of permeability, which can coexist in different concentrations of dissolved air, and therefore, with varying concentrations of oxygen.

- Soils with areas of different humidity, a drier and more humid, so that, for this reason, the amount of oxygen in them is different.
