Unreferenced date October 2009 The fermentation theory of disease is the now obsolete concept that many diseases, including the diseases which were epidemic, endemic and contagious , owe their origin to the presence of a morbific principle in the system, acting in a manner analogous to, although not identical with, the process of fermentation biochemistry fermentation . It was rendered obsolete by the germtheory of disease , which led to the new science of bacteriology .

FWGE, which was invented in the early 90s in Hungary, differs from ordinary wheat germ in that it is fermented with baker s yeast to concentrate biologically active benzoquinone s. FWGE is available commercially and is sold under the trade name Avemar . In the U.S., the product is classified as a dietary supplement and is marketed as Ave by American BioSciences, Inc.

T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.
