چکیده
Leucas aspera commonly known as 'Thummichittu' is distributed throughout India and in the plains of Mauritius, java and philippines. The plant is used traditionally as an antipyretic and insecticide. Medicinally, it has been proven to possess various pharmacological activities like antifungal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antinociceptive and cytotoxic activity and as an antidote to snake venom .Leucas leaves are used in chronic rheumatism. Further studies reveal the presence of various phytochemical constituents mainly triterpenoids, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid and b-sitosterol, nicotine, sterols, glucoside, diterpenes, phenolic compounds (4-(24-hydroxy-1-oxo-5-n-propyltetracosanyl)phenol). These studies reveal that L. aspera is a source of medicinally active compounds and have various pharmacological effects; hence, this drug encourage finding its new therapeutic uses.

Design and Fabrication of Photochemical Reactor for Scaling up Operation of Laser Isotope Separation Process
atural carbon consists of two stable isotopes, viz. C-13 (1.11%) and C-12 (98.89%). Carbon-13 is an important isotope as a tracer in chemistry, life sciences, medicine and biochemical synthesis. Although the current world production of C-13 at 90% concentration is about 10 kg per annum, an optimistic projection of hundred fold increase in the market demand is anticipated in view of rapid develo...
متن کاملProperty rights and landscape planning in the intermountain west: The Teton Valley case
Non-participation in landscape planning presents a formidable challenge to sustainable development. We hypothesize that even when people hold egative attitudes toward unplanned development, natural property rights values (favorable evaluations of property as an inviolable and pre-political ight) prevent them from acting on their concerns. We chose an intermountain west community as a case study...
متن کاملStochastic optimal control model for natural gas networks
We present a stochastic optimal control model to optimize gas network inventories in the face of system uncertainties. The model captures detailed network dynamics and operational constraints and uses a weighted risk-mean objective. We perform a degrees-of-freedom analysis to assess operational flexibility and to determine conditions for model consistency. We compare the control policies obtain...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), especially for microRNAs (miRNAs), have been widely s tudied as crucial negative regulatory molecules. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) also have attracted the attention of researchers due to their potential contribution in multiple essential biological processes. To understand th e p otential in teractions between miRNAs, l ncRNAs and mRNAs a nd their p otential r oles i...
متن کاملDespotic partner choice puts helpers under pressure?
The authors of the target paper (Bergmüller et al., 2007) try o bring order into the many forms ‘cooperation’ takes in the atural world by designing a decision tree, most branches of hich have endpoints well known from the cooperation literaure. The advantage of this exercise is that it helps to classify atural phenomena into the correct pigeonhole and relate it to ther natural phenomena of the...
