This paper enlists some selected plants and herbs whose curative effects have already been proved by the modern researches and/or their active principles have been isolated. This shows correlation between empirical application and scientific use of medicinal plants for the treatment of certain diseases. In the end, some recent pharmacological screenings of medicinal plants carried out in our la...

RHEUMATIC fever (Rh.F.) has recently been the object of numerous and extensive Italian studies. These have been carried out more especially in the University Medical Clinics directed by Professors F. Micheli (Turin), Ceconi (Turin) and Frugoni (Rome), and in the Institutes of Pathology directed by Professors Pepere (Milan) and Veratti (Pavia). The point of view of the Roman school was summarise...

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...

Various researches have been carried out about benefits of accounting information and their influence on decision making of financial statements users. For example, many researches have examined the relationship between accounting variables and stock returns or stock price. This study determines and compares the relative and incremental content of accounting variables, too. For this purpose, th...

Recently, several researches have been performed for updating XML documents[1][2][12] stored in databases. These researches define update operations and resolve some semantic problems. However, because the update operations are usually validated after execution, conflicts can occur among them. Furthermore, in many studies for updating, they just validate whole XML documents and can’t validate p...

Diarrhoea is a worldwide profound problem for the people of all age groups including new born, young children, adults as well as old age people. About 88% of diarrhoea associated mortality is mainly attributed to poor sanitization and lack of awareness. Despite the global decline in diarrhoea associated mortality by 50% between 2000 and 2013, the disease still carries a high burden of morbidity...

This paper reports results from an investigation into the suction caissons failure mechanisms under vertical pull-out loads. An insight to the failure mechanisms of suction caissons paves the path for developing analytical solutions to their pull-out capacity. The numerical models of suction caissons have first been calibrated by and verified against several experimental data from other researc...
