Background:Eugenia species are appreciated for their edible fruits and are known as having anticonvulsant, antimicrobial and insecticidal actions. Methods: The plant material was collected in the southeastern Pará state of Brazil and submitted to hydrodistillation. GC-MS analyzed the oils, and their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities were evaluated by the DPPH and MTT assays. Results: The mai...

Impoundment of the Zipingpu reservoir (ZR), China, began in September 2005 and was followed 2.7 years later by the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake (WE) rupturing the Longmen Shan Fault (LSF), with its epicenter ~12 km away from the ZR. Based on the poroelastic theory, we employ three-dimensional finite element models to simulate the evolution of stress and pore pressure due to reservoir impound...

Recording, mapping, 3D modeling and visualization for structures of architectural significance and objects of importance to cultural heritage have been received attention for digital archives or VR museum. With this motive, the authors have been developing an efficient modeling system for recreating historical city. However, reliable descriptions of ancient landscape are currently requested fro...

Submitted for the MAR13 Meeting of The American Physical Society Spin-orbit scattering in quantum diffusion of massive Dirac fermions WENYU SHAN, Wean Hall 6424, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh — We theoretically study the effects of spin-orbit scattering on weak (anti-)localization in two-dimensional massive Dirac systems. We clarify that weak anti-localization and loca...

While the responses of Tien Shan glaciers--and glaciers elsewhere--to climatic changes are becoming increasingly well understood, this is less the case for permafrost in general and for rock glaciers in particular. We use a novel approach to describe the climate sensitivity of rock glaciers and to reconstruct periods of high and low rock glacier activity in the Tien Shan since 1895. Using more ...
