Equisetum

چکیده
posts are held by men. It isn’t always easy for young women to have social confidence necessary to not only engage but stand out in their respective scientific communities and the competition for faculty positions is stiff. That being said, I think a lot has changed for the better in the last 20 years that I have been in science and the climate is still improving. A second challenge that women face is the fact that they are at a fitness disadvantage if they opt for a scientific career in spite of measures to overturn this. If you consider that most people do not reach tenure until their late 30s or early 40s — it is easy to see how this presents a disadvantage for women, who are most fecund before the age of 35. Further, babies and the careers of early investigators both require a lot of investment.....I guess you get the picture. My male colleagues do not face the same trade‐offs between family and career. There are ways around it for women, but they aren’t simple. Perhaps society will eventually make it easier for young women to do both. This will depend in part on how much we value having women in science.

Occurrence of dermatitis in rats fed a cholesterol diet containing field horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.).
The effects of dietary field horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.) powder on lipid components were studied in rats fed a 20% casein diet with or without cholesterol (0.5% cholesterol and 0.15% sodium cholate) for 14 days. The ingestion of 0.4% or 4% Equisetum arvense L. powder did not influence food intake or growth. However, a cholesterol diet with Equisetum arvense L. at 4% caused dermatitis at th...
متن کاملReconstruction and Phylogenetic Significance of a New Equisetum Linnaeus Species from the Lower Jurassic of Cerro Bayo (chubut Province, Argentina)
We describe Equisetum dimorphum sp. nov. from the Lower Jurassic of Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. This new species is based on fertile and vegetative remains preserved as impressions of stems, leaves, strobili, transversal sections of the stems showing their anatomy, and terminal pagoda-like structures. The fine-grained sedimentary matrix also preserved detailed impressions of epiderma...

Present study reports the antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts of Actiniopteris radiata and Equisetum ramosissimum. The analyses carried out were DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS·+, reducing power, and ferrous ion chelating tests. From the analyses, Actiniopteris radiata and Equisetum ramosissimum, were found to have potent antioxidant activity against DPPH with the IC50 value of 93.48 an...

Thiaminase type 1 and 2 activities and thiamine content of five plants were determined. Of these Pteridium aquilinum and Equisetum ramosissimum were found to have considerably more thiaminase activity and lower thiamine content than Malva parviflora, Pennisetum clandestinum and Medicago sativa.

Equisetum is a small and morphologically distinct genus with a rich fossil record. Two subgenera have been recognized based principally on stomatal position and stem branching: subg. Equisetum (eight species; superficial stomates; stems branched) and subg. Hippochaete (seven species; sunken stomates; stems generally unbranched). Prior attempts at understanding Equisetum systematics, phylogeny, ...
