From 1990 through 1992, nematodes were extracted from soil samples taken from the rhizosphere of native species of grapes from four areas of northern California and two areas of southern California. For comparison, samples from domestic grapes as well as a putative hybrid of Vitis califarnica and V. vinifera were also taken. Rhizosoil from California native grapevine contained many more species...

There have only been rare reports of anaphylaxis in adults related to the consumption of grapes, wine or other grape products, mostly in Europe [1-4].

So he watched with large grey eyes, and, because he could not help it, he counted, with swift, furtive ...

It is important to clarify stomatognathic functions. To diagnose them, some measuring devices, such as MKG and the Gnatho-hexagraph, were developed. Such equipment, however, is not widely diffused, due to cost. The purpose of this fundamental study was to obtain information on position using an accelerometer. This system consists of a micro dual-axis accelerometer and a peripheral interface con...
