Recent evidence (Kolhouse et aL, N. EngI. J. Med. 299: 785-792, 1978) demonstrates that commercial cobalamin (Vitamin B12) radioassay kits contain nonspecific R-protein bindingagents thatcan give falsely normal results in patients who are actually cobalamin deficient. We tested three kits:with“purified” intrinsic factor as the binder, with intrinsic factor and the nonspecific R-protein sites bl...

Introduction Acquired toxoplasmosis may present as acute hepatitis (Vischer, Bernheim and Engelbrecht, 1967; Weitberg et al., 1979; Bars et al., 1978; Kouba, Jira and Zitova, 1971). Bars et al.

Many topographic characteristics of the landscape (e.g. relief, slope, aspect, gradient, slope curvature, slope length and contour curvature) play important roles in the distribution of vegetation and biodiversity (e.g. Merriam, 1890, 1894; Whittaker & Niering, 1965, 1968; Vuilleumier, 1970; Brown, 1971, 1978; Hastings et al., 1972; Simpson, 1975; Hanawalt & Whittaker, 1976; Whittaker, 1977; Be...
