Greek research

Lead concentrations in maternal and umbilical cord blood have been reported by Greek researchers for 50 parturient women at delivery. Twenty-five of the women lived in industrial areas with high air pollution, and twenty-five lived in agricultural areas with low air pollution. The mean lead concentrations (expressed as mean standard deviation) for the women living in areas with high air pollution were 37.2 4.7 pg/L in maternal blood and 20 3.4 pg/L in umbilical cord blood (correlation coefficient, r = 0.57). The mean lead concentrations for the women living in areas with low air pollution were 20.5 5.6 pg/L in maternal blood and 12.9 3.6 pg/L in umbilical cord blood (correlation coefficient, r = 0.70). The authors conclude that the placenta demonstrates a dynamic protective function that is amplified when maternal PbB levels are raised (Vasilios et al. 1997).

First, let s dispel the superiority of wine in general and red wine in particular. According to Greek researchers in 2005, drinking red wine reduced arterial stiffness in the heart disease patients in their study. As Dr. Emmanouil Karatzis of Athens said, This is very important considering the fact that patients vessels are already stiff and this is a major cause of increased blood pressure and consequently increased risk for cardiovascular events. Yet these benefits were also enjoyed by people who drank dealcoholized red wine.

The synthesis and study of dendrimers is a relatively new branch of macro-molecular chemistry. It began in 1985 with the publication of two landmark papers (D.A. Tomalia, H. Baker, J. Dewald, J.M. Hall, G. Kallos, R. Martin and J. Ryder, Polym. J., 1985,17,117-132 and G.R. Newkome, Z. Yao, G.R. Baker and V.K. Gupta, J. Org. Chem., 1985, 50, 2003-2004), and has grown to become a very vibrant research field. The word dendrimer comes from the Greek word dendra, meaning tree, and was applied to these compounds by Tomalia et al. in their very first paper. Newkome s team, by contrast, called their molecules arborols from the Latin word arbor, which also means a tree. The term cascade molecule has also been used, but the word dendrimer is the one that is used most widely throughout the literature, and is also used in the present chapter. 

Viruses are classified initially on the basis of the hosts they infect. Thus we have animal viruses, plant viruses, and bacterial viruses. Bacterial viruses, sometimes called bacteriophages (or phage for short, from the Greek phago meaning to eat), have been studied primarily as convenient model systems for research on the molecular biology and genetics of virus reproduction. Many of the basic concepts of... 

Several strands of evidence came together at the beginning of the twentieth century to suggest that the atom, originally envisaged by the Greek philosophers as the smallest indivisible unit of matter, was, in fact, composed of smaller particles, subsequently named protons, neutrons, and electrons. The story begins in the nineteenth century with efforts to identify the atom itself, followed by research which led to the identification of the...
