Herbal water is referred to the liquid obtained from the distillation of medicinal plants. Different parts of plants, such as flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds and roots have long been used to produce herbal waters. Herbal waters are used as dietary supplements and alternative medicine and are commonly used for flavoring in baking. Previous studies focused on the non-volatile constituents of herbs...

Regulatory small RNAs, which range in size from 20 to 24 nucleotides, are ubiquitous components of endogenous plant transcriptomes, as well as common responses to exogenous viral infections and introduced double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Endogenous small RNAs derive from the processing of helical RNA precursors and can be categorized into several groups based on differences in biogenesis and functi...

receiver operating characteristics (roc) curves have numerous applications for identifying a cut-off point in diagnostic tests. nonetheless, given that sometimes two cut-off points have to be specified simultaneously, the roc curve can be used to identify such points. the volume under the roc surface (vus) serves as a criterion for the accuracy of diagnostic tests. one of the unfortunate outcom...

background :the present study was conducted to establish the patterns and risk factors of surgical site infections in our institution between 2006 and 2011.   methods: this was a retrospective cross-sectional study. the surgical site infection (ssi) was identified based on the presence of icd-10-cm diagnostic code in hospital discharge records. by using a standardized data collection form predi...

This paper presents a simple and computationally good method for plant species recognition using leaf images. Recognition of plant images is one of the research topics of computer vision. The use of shape for recognizing objects has been actively studied since the beginning of object recognition in 1950s. Several authors suggest that object shape is more informative than its appearance properti...
