ABSTRACT Green synthesis of nanoparticles has received a lot attention from scientists globally because it is eco-friendly, relatively rapid, and cost-effective method. This work presents method for the green nickel oxide (NiO-NPs) using leaf extracts Populus ciliata as reducing stabilising agent. The synthesised NiO-NPs were characterised by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform ...

Poplar belongs to the family Salicaeceae, order Salicales and group Amentiflorae (Dickmann and Stuart, 1983; Eckenwalder, 1996). There are 35 species of poplar currently recognized in the world; out of those, 6 Populus species are indigenous to India– P. alba, P. ciliata, P. euphratica, P. gamblei, P. glauca and P. laurifolia, and during past many clones of exotic species of poplar (P. deltoide...

The present article discusses three cases of human infestation by Corythuca ciliata (Lace bugs), a parasite of plane trees. The cases were all in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy and the symptoms involved a large number of hives on the subjects' bodies which were scarcely or not at all itchy and which spontaneously cleared up in all the cases in less than 24 hours.
