Using High-Spatiotemporal Thermal Satellite ET Retrievals for Operational Water Use and Stress Monitoring in a California Vineyard by Kyle R. Knipper, William P. Kustas, Martha C. Anderson, Maria Mar Alsina, Christopher R. Hain, Joseph G. Alfieri, John H. Prueger, Feng Gao, Lynn G. McKee, Luis A. Sanchez

“…In viticulture, deficit irrigation strategies are often implemented to control vine canopy growth and to impose stress at critical stages of vine growth to improve wine grape quality. To support deficit irrigation scheduling, remote sensing technologies can be employed in the mapping of evapotranspiration (ET) at the field to sub-field scales, quantifying time-varying vineyard water requirements and actual water use. …”

Bacterial community dynamics during distilled spirit fermentation: influence of mash recipes and fermentation processes by Shuang Liu, Isaac V. Greenhut, E. Patrick Heist, Melanie R. Heist, Luke A. Moe

“…While the polymicrobial nature of some alcoholic fermentations is appreciated (e.g., for wine), most grain-based ethanol producers view microbes, apart from the added yeast, as “contaminants” meant to be controlled in order to maximize efficiency of ethanol production per unit of sugar. …”

الرموز الإغريقية في مسرحية شكسبير (أنتوني وكليوباترا) by أحمد طـه

“…Shakespeare in his Antony and Cleopatra embodies all these aspects associated in Greek Mythology with Apollo, like "light", "youth", "sun", "reason", and "culture", in Antony; and he incarnates all these natures associated with Dionysus, like "permissiveness", "vegetation", "instinct", "primitive" nature", and "wine", in the character of Cleopatra. Shakespeare intentionally does not give precedence to either Antony or Cleopatra, striking a balance between their two natures. …”
