BACKGROUND Traditional alcoholic beverages (TABs) have only received marginal attention from researchers and ethnobotanists so far, especially in Italy. This work is focused on plant-based TABs in the Alta Valle del Reno, a mountainous area on the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna regions. The aims of our study were to document local knowledge about TABs and to analyze and discuss the d...

In this paper, we describe a method that allows a hypermedia document to retain its hyperlinks in the printed copy. The method associates the hyperlinks with cut-out tabs on the edges of the printed pages. A method for modelling the cut-out tabs and optimizing their assignment to the hyperlinks is discussed. We also describe a prototype authoring system that implements the method.  1999 Publis...

Abstract In magmatic nickel-copper-platinum-group element (PGE) deposits, the PGEs are found both in solid solution base metal sulfides and as platinum group minerals (PGMs). Apart from S, most common elements that combine with to form PGMs Te, As, Bi, Sb, Sn (TABS). Whether TABS play a role collecting or simply partition into sulfide liquid along later when phase becomes saturated is not curre...
