A full factorial experiment was conducted to analyze the main and interaction effects on physical mechanical properties of Cupressus funebris Endl. wood subjected vacuum heat modification. The response variables evaluated were mass loss rate (ML, %), moisture resistance (MR, modulus rupture in bending (MOR, MPa). results reveal significant variations modification time, holding temperature, pres...

Recently, new brake pads have been developed using sustainable materials that are not harmful to the environment. In this study, effect of blue-colored Cupressus arizonica cones was determined as a friction modifier in pad composites. Four different samples were prepared by grinding cone material. The samples’ physical and chemical properties performances compared, finally, their microscopic an...

El objetivo de nuestra investigación es identificar los componentes químicos y evaluar in vitro, la actividad antibacteriana extractos las hojas Cupressus sempervirens L. arizonica del norte Argelia contra Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027. La extracción se realizó macerando en disolventes polaridad creciente (cloroformo, éter petróleo metanol acuoso). Se un cribado compuestos fenólicos para una...

Species in the Botryosphaeriaceae are well known as pathogens and saprobes of woody hosts, but little is known about the species that occur in Iran. In a recent survey of this family in Iran two fungi with diplodia-like anamorphs were isolated from various tree hosts. These two fungi were fully characterised in terms of morphology of the anamorphs in culture, and sequences of the ITS1/ITS2 regi...

The commercial essential oils of Citrus aurantium L., Cupressus sempervirens L., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Thymus vulgaris L., isolated by steam distillation by a company of Morocco were evaluated in terms of in vitro antioxidant activity through several methods. In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was also determined. Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. oil...

Spontaneous ignition tests of various forest species were performed with a specifically designed apparatus. The forest species selected: Arbutus andrachne, Cistus incanus, Pinus brutia, Pinus halepensis, Cupressus sempervirens, Pistacia lentiscus, Abies cephalonica are very common in the Mediterranean region which is frequently devastated by forest fires. The same tests were performed in the pr...

Male and female leaves and fruits of eleven different taxons of Iranian conifers (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis, C. sempervirens var. sempervirens, C. sempervirens cv. Cereifeormis, Juniperus communis subsp. hemisphaerica, J. excelsa subsp. excelsa, J. excelsa subsp. polycarpos, J. foetidissima, J. oblonga, J. sabina, Platycladus orientalis and Taxus baccata) were collected from diff...

Rabbits can experience stress during transport. This study explores the effects of Essential Oils (EOs) on heart rate rabbits were submitted to 3 different treatments: no olfactory exposure EOs (treatment 1, control); 30 drops Lavandula angustifolia EO 2); and a blend 5 3, Cananga odorata, Citrus aurantium, Cupressus sempervirens, angustifolia, Litsea citrata EOs) in randomized controlled cross...
