Some clinical aspects of prolonged clinostatic hypokinesia
Attendant problems which arise with prolonged confinement of patients to bed are discussed. These disorders are of a hyperkinesic nature, and the symptoms are treated with pharmacological substances

Evaluation of eno-carpological traits in Georgian grapevine varieties from Skra germplasm repository
Eno-carpological traits were evaluated in twenty one colored and fifteen white Georgian autochthonous grapevine varieties grown in the Skra Germplasm Repository, during two years (2012 and 2013). Mostly of the studied accessions were minor varieties originated from various Georgian provinces. The spectrophotometric method proposed in the framework of the COST action FA1003 has been adopted for total anthocyanin and polyphenol analyses in skin and seed extracts. The obtained results showed that the content of phenolic compounds as well as other eno-carpological parameters varies greatly according to the variety. In general, the total phenol contents ranged from 546.7 to 2818.4 mg∙kg-1 of grape, and anthocyanins varied from 49.5 to 2826.6 mg∙kg-1 of grape. The highest content of total phenolics and total anthocyanins was found in the variety 'Saperavi Budeshuriseburi'
Description of the vitis vinifera L. Phenotypic variability in eno-carpological traits by a Euro-Asiatic collaborative network among ampelographic collections
The grapevine intra-specific variability captured an increasing interest during the last decades, as demonstrated by the number of recently funded European projects focused on the grapevine biodiversity preservation. However, nowadays, crop plants are mainly characterized by genotyping methods. The present work summarizes the phenotype data collected among 20 ampelographic collections spread over 15 countries, covering most of the viticultural areas in the Euro-Asiatic region: from Portugal to Armenia and from Cyprus to Luxembourg. Together with agro-climatic characterization of the experimental site, over two years about 2,400 accessions were described. A common experimental protocol mainly focused on the carpological and oe-nological traits was followed, obtaining a general overview of the distribution of the considered phenotypic traits in the cultivated Vitis vinifera species. The most replicated cultivars were selected and, for the subset of these reference cultivars, their behavior in the different environmental conditions over sites and years was described by ANOVA methods

Progress for research of grape and wine culture in Georgia, the South Caucasus
This communication will provide the latest information about the progress of the “Research Project for the Study of Georgian Grapes and Wine Culture”, managed by the National Wine Agency of Georgia since 2014. Local and foreign institutions continue to work together with the aim of stimulating multidisciplinary scientific research activity on Georgian viticulture and viniculture and to reconstruct their development from Neolithic civilizations to the present. The project is multidisciplinary in nature, merging contributions from archaeology, history, ethnography, molecular genetics, biomolecular archaeology, palaeobotany, ampelography, enology, climatology and other scientific fields

The obtained results showed that the content of phenolic compounds as well as other eno-carpological parameters varies greatly according to the variety. In general, the total phenol contents ranged from 546.7 to 2818.4 mg 19kg-1 of grape, and anthocyanins varied from 49.5 to 2826.6 mg 19kg-1 of grape. The highest content of total phenolics and total anthocyanins was found in the variety 'Saperavi Budeshuriseburi'
Renormalisation of non-differentiable potentials
Non-differentiable potentials, such as the V-shaped (linear) potential,
appear in various areas of physics. For example, the effective action for
branons in the framework of the brane world scenario contains a Liouville-type
interaction, i.e., an exponential of the V-shaped function. Another example is
coming from particle physics when the standard model Higgs potential is
replaced by a periodic self-interaction of an N-component scalar field which
depends on the length, thus it is O(N) symmetric. We first compare classical
and quantum dynamics near non-analytic points and discuss in this context the
role of quantum fluctuations. We then study the renormalisation of such
potentials, focusing on the Exact Wilsonian Renormalisation approach, and we
discuss how quantum fluctuations smoothen the bare singularity of the
potential. Applications of these results to the non-differentiable effective
branon potential and to the O(N) models when the spatial dimension is varied
and to the O(N) extension of the sine-Gordon model in (1+1) dimensions are
presented.Comment: v3: final version published in JHEP, 12 pages, 5 figure
