Oxidative stress is a major cause of drug-induced hepatic diseases and several studies have demonstrated that diet supplementation with plants rich in antioxidant compounds provides a variety of health benefits in these circumstances. Genista quadriflora Munby (Gq) and Teucrium polium geyrii Maire (Tp) are known to possess antioxidant and numerous biological properties and these endemic plants ...

The theory of scale relativity extends Einstein’s principle of relativity to scale transformations of resolutions. It is based on the giving up of the axiom of differentiability of the space-time continuum. Three consequences arise from this withdrawal. (i) The geometry of space-time becomes fractal, i.e., explicitly resolutiondependent : this allows one to describe a non-differentiable physics...

BACKGROUND Retama monosperma L. (Boiss.) or Genista monosperma L. (Lam.), locally named as "R'tam", is an annual and spontaneous plant belonging to the Fabaceae family. In Morocco, Retama genus is located in desert regions and across the Middle Atlas and it has been widely used in traditional medicine in many countries. In this study, we show that Retama monosperma hexane extract presents signi...

BACKGROUND Saharan plants are known by their high content of antioxidant products like phenolic compounds due to the extreme climatic conditions. They constitute the basis of treatments used by local population for various diseases. The purposes of this study were to measure the total phenolic compounds and total fl avonoid compounds, to determine antioxidant capacity, and to evaluate the antib...

Crotolaria ramosissima is a weed plant belonging to the family Leguminoseae. It is a much branched sticky woody herb. The flowers are yellow tinged with purple. It is distributed in some places of Tamilnadu and coastal areas of Andrha Pradesh. The plant contains waxes, and, when flowering, a yellow exudate appears in the inflorescences. Recently, we published the corrected structure of crotaram...

1. Introduction. Let k be an integer and N be a positive integer divisible by 4. If is a prime, denote by v a continuation of the usual-adic valuation on Q to a fixed algebraic closure. Let f be a modular form of weight k + 1/2 with respect to 0 (N) and Nebentypus character χ which has integral algebraic Fourier coefficients a(n), and put v (f) = inf n v (a(n)). Suppose that f is a common eigen...

One of the most subtle and important invariants of a modular form f is its L-function L(s, f). For holomorphic modular forms, the basic analytic properties of their L-functions were established by Hecke, with Maass treating the real-analytic forms; their construction gave L(s, f) as a Mellin transform of f . In the early 70s, the existence of p-adic L-functions associated with classical modular...
