The present research was conducted to discover antimicrobial compounds in methanolic leaf extracts of Jatropha curcas and Andrographis paniculata and ethanolic leaf extract of Psidium guajava and the effectiveness against microbes on flower preservative solution of cut Mokara Red orchid flowers was evaluated. The leaves were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of nine, ...

The temporal sequence of neural processes supporting figure-ground perception was investigated by recording ERPs associated with subjects' perceptions of the face-vase figure. In Experiment 1, subjects continuously reported whether they perceived the face or the vase as the foreground figure by pressing one of two buttons. Each button press triggered a probe flash to the face region, the vase r...

Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, li...

The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of catechol (CH), as a peroxidase inhibitor, and 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (HQC), as a bacterial inhibitor, on keeping the quality of Gerbera Jamesonii cv. Hongyan cut flowers, known to be limited by vascular occlusion. Blockage in the stem xylem vessels of cut gerbera was studied using light and scanning electron microscope. The results showed th...

Recent neuroimaging studies have described a differential activation pattern associated with specific object images (e.g., face-related and building-related activation) in human occipito-temporal cortex. However, it is as yet unclear to what extent this selectivity is due to differences in the statistics of local object features present in the different object categories, and to what extent it ...

Abstract This is an introduction to and translation of the Vase Deathless Ones’ Ambrosia Tantra . The presents itself as a treasure text that was taught by Padmasambhava in eighth-century Tibet finally revealed five hundred years later. In opening chapter, explains devastating epidemic disease will spread ultimately kill three out every four people world. Despite this dire prognosis, he also me...

Critical to the success of analog synthesis in VASE is the accuracy of analog performance estimation at various levels of abstraction. The analog performance estimator (APE) in VASE is used during mixed signal partitioning, analog behavior synthesis as well as analog circuit synthesis. APE is capable of accepting the design parameters (bias current) of an analog component as input and determine...

nanosilver of nanometer-sized silver (ag+) particles (2-5 nm diam) are used in various applications as an anti-microbial. boric acid (h3bo3) is water soluble (ph=7). boric acid is ethylene synthese inhibitor and reduce ethylene production through reducing the acc synthase and acc oxidase delays senescence of flower. in this study of different concentrations of boric acid and nano-silver was eva...
