Plants of the genus Taraxacum Wigg., have long been used as medicinal herbs. A phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Taraxacum bessarabicum (Hornem.) Hand.-Mazz. subsp. bessarabicum (Hornem.) Hand.-Mazz. (Asteraceae) yielded two coumarins [esculetin (1), cichoriin (2)], three flavonoids [ luteolin (3), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucoside (4), gossypetin (5)] and six phenolic acids and their...

Salvia genus, which is generally called Maryam-Goli in the Persian language, belongs to Lamiaceae family and comprises 58 species in Iran. Four flavonoids plus a steroid compound were isolated from the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the aerial parts of Salvia macrosiphon Boiss, using different chromatographic methods on the silica gel and sephadex LH20. The structures of the isolated co...

The O. avara group of Oecetis is formally defined to include 4 described species, O. avara (Banks), O. disjuncta (Banks), O. elata Denning & Sykora, and O. metlacenis Bueno-Soria, and 15 new species. Oecetis marquesi Bueno-Soria, previously considered a member of the O. avara group, is treated as incertae sedis to species group, but is also redescribed and treated in the current work. New speci...

The tetra-nuclear title compound, [Cu(2)Ti(2)(C(6)H(6)NO(6))(2)O(O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(10)]·7H(2)O, lies about a twofold rotation axis that passes through the bridging oxide atom. The titanium atom is N,O,O',O''-chelated by the nitrilo-triacetate and O,O'-chelated by the peroidxo group and is coordinated to the bridging O atom in an overall penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. The O atom of one of the c...

X-ray photoelectron and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopic (XPS-HREELS) studies have shown that the adsorption of carbon dioxide at Mg(100) surfaces at 80K is followed by a dissociative reaction leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate above 80K. The formation of a carbonate species is proposed to proceed through oxidation of C0 (g) by an active oxygen su...

iran is a rather wide country, and, as a rule, the chrage per one call in s. t .d . (subscriber trunk dialing ) is required more compared with a local call , so, just after the opening of the std service widely in national telephone network, unconcerned use of the s. t. d. service has been caused on an incon- ceivable increase in telephone charge of th subscriber. this is a common problem for a...

cerato-ulmin is the most important toxin of fungal causal agents of dutch elm disease and its content is one of the most important factors to distinguish two species ophiostoma ulmi and o. novo-ulmi. with attention to the ophiostoma novo-ulmi is more pathogenicity than o. ulmi, this research was carried out to discuss the role of cerato-ulmin on pathogenicity of causal agent using measurement o...
