Background & Aim: The traditional knowledge about medicinal plants is the basic step in many drug productions. Traditional medicine and herbal drug have absorbed attraction of many world authorities. Using medicinal plants has developed in many countries even those with a vast use of chemical drugs. Ethno-botanical studies result in documentation of many useful plants. In these studies the main...

Background & Aim:The major teeth problems associated with adults are: Plaque, Tartar, Tooth decay, Gingivitis, Periodontal disease. There is a long and venerable history of the use of plants to improve dental health and promote oral hygiene. There are a number of traditional herbal remedies for the treatment and management of diseases related to teeth, gum and oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene is...

Background subtraction is a widely used technique for detecting moving objects in image sequences. Very often background subtraction approaches assume the availability of one or more clear frames (i.e., without foreground objects) at the beginning of the image sequence in input. This strong assumption is not always correct, especially when dealing with dynamic background. In this paper, we pres...

Change detection by background subtraction is a common approach to detect moving foreground. The resulting difference image is usually thresholded to obtain objects based on pixel connectedness and resulting blob objects are subsequently tracked. This paper proposes a detection approach not requiring the binarization of the difference image. Local density maxima in the difference image usually ...

Local sea-level changes differ significantly from global-mean sea-level change as a result of (1) non-climatic, geological background processes; (2) atmosphere/ocean dynamics; and (3) the gravitational, elastic, and rotational “fingerprint” effects of ice and ocean mass redistribution. Though the research communities working on these different effects each have a long history, the integration o...

conclusions the excellent antimicrobial activities of the tested eos might be due to their major phenolic or alcoholic monoterpenes with known antimicrobial activities. hence, these eos can be possibly used as an antimicrobial agent in treatment and control of oral pathogens. results the tested eos inhibited the growth of examined oral pathogens at concentrations of 0.015-16 µl/ml. among the ex...

Background & Aims: Access to the non-documented experiences and information is one of the valuable ways for developing pharmaceutical sciences and a basis for production of new drugs. Ethnobotany is the science of recovering endangered non-documented traditions. Protection of these traditions would be a precious guide to gain access to new drug sources. The aim of this study was to identify and...

background: in recent years, drug resistance to human pathogenic fungi has been increased. medicinal plants are one way to overcome antibiotic resistance. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal and inhibitory activity of five medicinal plants on the growth of candida albicans. methods: this study was done in the microbiology lab of shahid bahonar university of kerman, iran in 2015...

background & aim: medicinal plants can be a good replacement for common cancer treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery because they don’t have many side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the free radical scavenging in the presence of medicinal plants. experimental: for determination of free radical scavenging activity was...
