Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the causal agents of viral diseases that infected mint (Mentha spp.). CMV is a member of the cucumovirus genus in  Bromoviridae family. The virus is naturally transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner.During  growing season 2007-2008, leaf samples from plants of mint fields with symptoms of viral disease were collected in mint fieldas in Tehran provi...

This article deciphers and analyzes a  previously unknown Sassanian mint location represented by the inscription WLČ., based on the analysis of a Middle Persian inscription found in Persepolis, and on the linguistic changes that occurred during the transition to modern Persian. Evidence is presented to show that this previously unknown Sassanian mint designation corresponds to the modern-day ci...

conclusions based on the results of the current study, it was concluded that aloe vera, licorice and mint extracts had synergistic effects on the viability of dermal fibroblasts; in addition, the combination of aloe vera and licorice with either henna or myrtle, and aloe vera and mint with either cedar or ginger resulted in synergistic effects on viability of dermal fibroblasts. the third categ...

Background. Infantile colic is a distressing and common condition for which there is no proven standard treatment. Objective. To compare the efficacy of Mentha piperita with simethicone in treatment for infantile colic. Methods. A double-blind crossover study was performed with 30 infants attending IMIP, Recife, Brazil. They were randomized to use Mentha piperita or simethicone in the treatment...

The metallic elements concentrations of medicinal plants (coriander, dill, Echinacea, lavender, chamomile, mint, and plantain, used for phytopharmaceutical products), cultivated in unpolluted region, were analyzed by neutron activation analysis. The essential nutrients, macro-, micro-, and trace elements (K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Rb, Sr, and Zn), potentially toxic elements (Al, As, Ba, Co, Sb, Cr...

iced tea is a world popular beverage,for example about 80% of people in italy and united states, consume iced tea as a thirsty-quenching beverage. however, it is also believed that iced tea contains health benefit components. process of iced tea involved tea solid extraction and then mixing with edible acids, flavors, sugar or non-nutritional sweeteners. in this research, regarding to the deman...

In this work, water extracts from different bio-based products of plant origin were studied to evaluate their antioxidant capacity and potential form metal nanoparticles aqueous solutions. Two traditional tests, the Folin–Ciocalteu assay DPPH radical scavenging method compared with a more recent one, SNPAC, based on formation silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticle (SNPAC) was optimized for its ...

In this talk, we consider linear error–correcting codes that are constructed from orbits of a projectivity group of PG(k, Fq). In this way, we obtain linear codes with better parameters with respect to the previously known ones, and improve several entries in MinT’s tables (http://mint.sbg.ac.at/) and Markus Grassl’s Tables (www.codetables.de). Among these new codes, we found of particular inte...
