Essential oils of young and mature rhizomes, air-dried and steamed rhizomes, and seed rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) were prepared, and their inhibition of filamentation by Candida albicans was examined. Ginger essential oils, and particularly those from seed and air-dried rhizomes, had potent inhibitory activity compared to ginger oleoresins obtained by ethanol and hypercritic...

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L) seed polysaccharide (TSP) is of great important due to its various biological activities. The present investigation was carried out to compare extraction yield, morphological characteristics, average molecular weights and antioxidant activities of TSP from gammaand electron beam (EB)-irradiated tamarind kernel powder. The tamarind kernel powder was irradiated with...

Relation extraction is one of the important research topics in the field of information extraction research. To solve the problem of semantic variation in traditional semisupervised relation extraction algorithm, this paper proposes a novel semisupervised relation extraction algorithm based on ensemble learning (LXRE). The new algorithm mainly uses two kinds of support vector machine classifier...

The study was carried out in the laboratories of Faculty Agriculture / University Tikrit to period 2017/11/7 - 1/5/2018. watermelon seed pulp local variety, obtain protein isolates graft after removal fat. results showed chemical composition imported and variety percentage moisture 2.9%, 2.5%, ash 4.2%, 3.8%, fat 41%, 40.2%, carbohydrates 19.4%, 18.5% respectively. result show that at important...

Nicotiana tabacum commonly known as Tobacco plant which has broad application over soap, paint and cigar industries was now investigated for biodiesel production. Nicotiana tabacum seeds were one of the prominent sources for non-edible oil. Oil from Tobacco seeds were expelled with Soxhlet extraction apparatus using n-hexane as extraction solvent. Two stage trans-esterification has been adopted...

Cyanogenic glycosides are a large group of secondary metabolites that are widely distributed in the plant kingdom, including many plants that are commonly consumed by humans. The diverse chemical nature of cyanogenic glycosides means that extraction and analysis of individual compounds can be difficult. In addition, degradation can be rapid under appropriate conditions. Amygdalin is one of the ...

Biologists usually focus on only a small, individualized, subdomain of the huge domain of biology. With respect to their sub-domain, they often need data collected from various different web resources. In this research, we provide a tool with which biologists can generate a sub-domain-size, user-specific ontology that can extract data from web resources. The central idea is to let a user provid...
