Introduction: Nowadays, there is special interest in finding a new contraceptive drug with high safety and fewer side effects. Investigations have shown that dill (Anethum graveolens L.) can be used either as a menstrual cycle regulator or contraceptive. Since cell surface terminal sugars have crucial roles in oocyte maturation, fertilization and implantation, in this study we investigated the ...

Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum Mill.) were dried by using sun and oven (50oC) drying methods. Oven drying decreased the drying time approximately 50% when compared to the sun drying method for both herbs. K, Ca, P, Mg and Na were the most abundant elements in dill and parsley samples. Oven-dried samples had higher mineral values than that of the su...

In order to evaluate cardinal temperatures and optimum thermal range of germination of three medicinal plants including Ajowan, Fennel and Dill an experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Temperatures considered for this study were: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ?C. Results indicated that temperature affected germination rate and percentage of these cro...


 The literature survey has reported that Anethum graveolens extract is inescapably linked with fertility. Recent studies showed the aqueous of an adverse effect on male fertility by affecting serum testosterone level, sperm concentration as well motility. However, its evidence not been established. present paper tries to determine level for dill (Anethum graveolens) MEDLINE, Cochrane Libr...

In this paper, a new direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm, direction lock loop (DiLL), is proposed. It has a similar concept to the delay lock loop (DLL) that is used for synchronization. It estimates the DOA of a signal by iterations, and can track the DOA of a moving source. The DiLL scheme is found to track better than the DOA estimation scheme based on the PASTd, and its performa...

It is of paramount importance for consumers, scientists and industrialists to understand how low-temperature storage of food items affects their bioactive compounds and properties. This study evaluated the effects of cold storage on total phenolics (TP), phenolic acids profile (PA), total anthocyanins (TA), total ascorbic acid (Vit. C) and antioxidant activity (AA) of 19 fruits and vegetables, ...
