BACKGROUND Wheat is one of the most common food allergens in children. The purpose of this study is to define the natural course of wheat allergy in children with dominant gastrointestinal symptoms and identify factors that help predict development of tolerance. METHODS The prospective analysis covered 50 children with positive food challenge results (DBPCFC) and positive wheat IgE test resul...

Solids with exchangeable hydrogens are treated with D2O. The free-induction decay in a pulsed hydrogen NMR experiment is then interpreted in terms of the fraction of hydrogens in the sample which have been made mobile by this treatement. Data are provided for the hydrogen of starch in durum wheat semolina.

Background Allergens from wheat (Triticum aestivum) can cause three distinct IgE-mediated allergies: respiratory allergy by inhalation of wheat flour, wheat pollen allergy and wheat food allergy. Wheat and wheat products are a main component in human diet, but currently avoidance is the only therapy for wheat food allergic patients. Diagnosis based on wheat flour extracts does not discriminate ...

To study the effects of wheat-maize intercropping on the population dynamics of wheat aphids and their natural enemies, wheat-maize intercropping patterns were divided into four levels: 8:2, 6:2, and 4:2 intercropping, and monoculture wheat. The results showed that as the wheat coverage rate decreased, the quantities of immigrating winged aphids and their natural enemies significantly differed;...

BACKGROUND Wheat is believed to be an uncommon cause of food allergy in adults; the number of studies that address IgE mediated wheat allergy in adults is all too few. OBJECTIVE Determine how many subjects with a history of wheat allergy have real allergy by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge; identify the symptoms manifested during the challenge; determine the lowest provocation...

BACKGROUND Bioethanol can be produced from sugar-rich, starch-rich (first generation; 1G) or lignocellulosic (second generation; 2G) raw materials. Integration of 2G ethanol with 1G could facilitate the introduction of the 2G technology. The capital cost per ton of fuel produced would be diminished and better utilization of the biomass can be achieved. It would, furthermore, decrease the energy...

Image analysis based on color thresholding is the reference method for measuring severity as percent area affected. It deemed to produce accurate results, usually considered “true” value. More than a dozen applications have been used task in phytopathometry studies, but none was coded R language. Here we introduced and evaluated pliman, suite of plant images. In particular, show functions compu...
