Siddha system of medicine is one of the ancient systems of medicine in India. According to Siddhars, peptic ulcer is known as Valigunmam with its signs and symptoms as detailed in Siddha literature matching modern terminology of peptic ulcer. Bhasma refers to calcinated metals and minerals. During this study the Bhasma of Musa paradisiaca Linn, is prepared and evaluated for its antiulcer effect...

Abstract Earthquake occurrences are often described using a class of branching models called Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) models. The name derives from the fact that the model allows earthquakes to cause aftershocks, and then those aftershocks may induce subsequent aftershocks, and so on. Despite their value in seismology, such models have not previously been used in studying the in...

Banana streak disease is caused by a variety of banana-infecting badnaviruses. A genome of the episomal form of a banana streak MY virus was recovered from an infected banana plant sampled on Vava'u Island, Tonga, and shares >98% pairwise identity with the six other genomes available in public databases.

The proliferation of mobile devices has refocused interest on location-information exploiting applications. The most prominent problems are the support of devices with widely varying computing and user interface capabilities and a programming model, which promotes the development of location-based services. The article presents the concepts and implementation of MUSA-Shadow, which addresses bot...

The present study was conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Biotechnology Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during the period from September 2004 to June 2005 to investigate the effect of different concentrations of BAP and NAA on virus free plant regeneration, shoot multiplication and different concentrations of IBA and IAA on in vitro root formation of ...

Banana (Musa acuminata, cv Dwarf Cavendish) proteins were extracted from pulp tissue at different stages of ripening and analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The results provide evidence of differential protein accumulation during ripening. Two sets of polypeptides have been detected that increase substantially in ripe fruit. These polypeptides were characterized as glycoproteins by wes...

The goal of MuSA is to create a robust and reliable system for recognizing and visualizing tonal patterns using the Spiral Array model for tonality [1]. This endeavor requires the developing of algorithms for abstracting and extracting pitch/time structures (see Figure 1) in music information. The resulting algorithms are fundamental tools for automated transcription, computer music analysis, c...
