We have developed a mulch sheet made by inflation molding of PLA, Ecoflex((R)) and modified starch, which all have different biodegradabilities. A field test of use as an agricultural mulch sheet for mandarin oranges was carried out over two years. The mechanical properties of the mulch sheet were weakened with time during the field test, but the quality of the mandarin oranges increased, a res...

BACKGROUND: There is a strong negative relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) glycoprotein transporter that transfers esters to very low-density (LDL-C). The CETP inhibitor new strategy against CVD because its ability increase HDL-C. Various Indonesian plants have not been optimall...

Regio and stereoselective addition of a phosphine-borane to alkynyl vinyl gold(i) complexes.

Using a C++ compiler, any partial recursive function can be computed at compile time. We show this by using the C++ template mechanism to define functions via primitive recursion, composition, and μ-recursion.

DAPI staining of the metaphase chromosomes pretreated with barium hydroxide generates a C-like banding pattern. In this work a protocol for visualizing similar pattern at the synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads after immunostaining is suggested. This method was used to visualize centromeric and sex heterochromatin at the SC spreads of guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859). The efficiency ...

Flavanones constitute the majority of flavonoids in citrus fruits such as sweet (Citrus sinensis) and sour oranges (C. aurantium) and their near relatives—tangerines/mandarins (C. reticulata), tangors and tangelos. The relevant chemical analytic literature was searched, abstracted, documented, standardized, examined for quality, enumerated, and summarized in a database for these citrus flavanon...

The chemical composition of volatile oils from 22 genotypes of Citrus and related genera was poorly differentiated, but chemometric techniques have clarified the relationships between the 22 genotypes, and allowed us to understand their resistance to D. citri. The most convincing similarities include the synthesis of (Z)-β-ocimene and (E)-caryophyllene for all 11 genotypes of group A. Genotypes...

The influence of the in vitro conditioning and rooting of the microcuttings in different basal media viz., Murashige and Skoog and Gamborg supplemented with various concen­ trations of paclobutrazol (0.25^1.0 mg/1) on their in vivo establishment and growth was in­ vestigated using four citrus species viz., C. reticulata Blanco (Khasi Mandarin), C. volkameriana Ten, and Pasq, C. reshni Tanaka (C...
