one is, that two individuals in an apparently equal state of good health and in identical external surroundings may contract a chill in th e same way, and that one may suffer merely Irom an ordinary cold, while the other may be attacked by acute lobar pneumonia. The case is one that often occurs, and we explain it by saying that the individual singled out for attack by acute lobar pneumonia, ha...

Photosynthesis in warm-climate plants is substantially reduced after chilling. Tropical and subtropical species offer the opportunity to study the effects of low temperature on photosynthetic processes undisguised by the myriad of protective responses observed in temperate species. In this article, we highlight the primary components of photosynthesis that are affected by a short chill, in both...

The adaptation of temperate fruit crops is a challenge being increased by the global warming. Chilling requirement key factor for adaptation. objective this study was to estimate chilling peach cultivars BRS Bonão, Esmeralda, Granada and Eragil, using Tabuenca test. accumulation computed four different hour (≤ 7.2 ºC ≤ 11 ºC) models; chill units Low Chill model Taiwan model. fresh bud weight wa...

helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the human stomach and affects more than half of the global human population. this microorganism shows variations in its geographical distribution and causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. the development of these clinical entities depends on the ba...

Objects in object-oriented languages have often been treated as a special kind of entity different from other variables or constants. Similarly, their types, which are typically called classes, have often been treated differently from other types. This complicates the understanding of these concepts. The present paper proposes to see the classes as module types leading to a very natural integra...

soluble forms of nonclassical human leukocyte antigen (hla)-g have recently been suggested as immunomodulatory factors in multiple sclerosis (ms). hla-g inhibits the effecter function of t cells and natural killer (nk) cells. also regulatory t cells (treg) are considered as pivotal players in ms pathogenesis. thus, we aimed to evaluate the presence of hla-g molecules and treg cells in relapsing...
