Honey is a popular food product produced by honey bees that it is a well-known antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Floral origin of honey plays an important role on its biological properties.This research was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of four sample honey with different floral origin collected from the bee hive in the Golestan province in north of Ir...

Branched chain a-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) deficiency results in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). We examined the molecular basis of familial cases ofMSUD by analyzing the activity, subunit structure, mRNA sequence, and genome structure of the affected enzyme. The BCKDH activity in the proband with MSUD was 6% ofthe normal control level. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the ElB subunit o...

Maple s sum command is a general purpose procedure to calculate di erent types of sums Algorithms for the computation of both inde nite and de nite sums are available Roberto Pirastu gave an excellent overview about rational summation and we take his article as a starting point for ours and thus will not focus on the rational case We will instead discuss three important methods for more general...

Ipomoea (morning glory) is the largest genus in the family Convolvulaceae. Cultivation of morning glory plants began in the late Edo period in Japan, and this horticultural success resulted in thousands of plants with varying floral displays. In addition to the different flower morphologies, leaf shape is highly variable within this family making it an ideal group in which to study leaf develop...

We describe the Maple 23] implementation of multivariate factorization over general nite elds. Our rst implementation is available in Maple V Release 3. We give selected details of the algorithms and show several ideas that were used to improve its eeciency. Most of the improvements presented here are incorporated in Maple V Release 4. In particular, we show that we needed a general tool for im...

We conducted two experiments to determine the usefulness of a chlorophyll content meter (CCM) for the measurement of foliar chlorophyll concentration in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) in the fall color period. In Experiment 1, four sugar maple trees were visually assigned to each of four fall foliage color categories in October 1998. On four dates in the fall of 1999, leaves were taken fro...

In autumn, maple trees disperse their seeds by employing autorotation under windy conditions. Maple seeds equipped with a small wing begin to autorotate within 1 m after they are detached from trees, and the autorotating motion generates the lift force that slows down its descent [1,2]. From measurements using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV), it was elucidated that a stable leading-ed...

Abstract This paper uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to study six types of definite integrals. We can determine the infinite series forms of these definite integrals by using Parseval’s theorem. On the other hand, we provide some definite integrals to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manual calcu...
