Dear Editor, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative bacillus. Since its discovery in the early eighties by warren and marshall, for the first time in the history of medicine H. pylori was isolated from human gastric biopsy specimens (1). Many studies have presented that H. pylori can be isolated from the oral cavity and salivary secretions. Colonization of the gastric pits in the st...

Surprisingly, at the beginning of the 15 century a new way of painting suddenly began. Differently from the elegant and graceful gothic style characterized by figures of dignified beauty living within unreal scenarios rich of precious decorations often of pure gold, the scenes became full of passion, of pain, of sentiments, full of life and suffused in the light of a real landscape that emphasi...

other crops, non-tillage methods to alleviate compaction CROP COVER ROOT CHANNELS MAY problems have not been extensively researched. DeepALLEVIATE SOIL COMPACTION rooted cover crops are one possible solution to compaction problems, especially in no-till farming systems (UnEFFECTS ON SOYBEAN CROP ger and Kaspar, 1994). The deep growing tap roots of the perennial alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), can...

Allelopathy, the ability of plants to inhibit germination of other plants, is an untapped resource for weed control in crops that could revolutionize organic crop production. The main objective of the study was to evaluate allelopathic potential of various plant species on downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), a major pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To screen for potential allelopathy, plants...

Recently, It has become a rapidly aging society. Coupled with a decrease in the number of farmers, this has becomes a serious problem in agriculture. Agricultural work includes a great deal of heavy work and special work postures, imposing a large physical strain on farmers. Therefore, we developed the Wearable Agri-Robot, which was designed as an exoskeletal mechanism to assist in the wearer’s...

Tobacco smoke products make up an undetermined amount of the atmospheric contaminants of a fleet ballistic missile submarine. A biological measurement of the degree of effective tobacco inhalation both in smokers and non-smokers would be a useful tool in environmental health studies. Salivary thiocyanate levels seemed promising as such a tool. Thirty volunteers were selected from a submarine cr...
