The present study reveals the Ethno Botanical studies on uses of medicinal plants in Kailasagiri forest range of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. Role of these studies in rural and forest economies is immense. Tribal people of this area have authentic information on medicinal values of different plant parts like leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds, stem bark, tubers and roots. They have been using...

The present study was conducted at the fish experimental unit belonging to the Faculty of Agriculture, AlAzhar University. Nasr City, Cairo, ARE during the period from 1 July to the 3 of November 2005. The study aimed to investigate the effect of incorporation of dried rumen contents (RC) or sunflower meal (SFM) and sesame seed cake (SSC) to replace 30% of soybean meal protein on growth perform...

introduction intercropping as a common method in sustainable agricultural systems, plays an important role in increasing productivity and yield stability to improve utilization of resources )alizadeh et al., 2010). studies in different countries showed that intercropping causes increase in diversity, production and more efficient use of water resources, land, labor and nutrients and also reduce...

A chemically modified graphene paste electrode was prepared by incorporating appropriate amounts of graphene in a paste mixture, followed by electrodepositing Prussian blue (PB) and coating chitosan on the electrode surface. The electrode was able to bind ssDNA, and gave a better voltammetric response for complement DNA than did ordinary carbon paste electrodes. The response of the electrode wa...

During the freeze-form extrusion fabrication process for aqueous-based pastes, the sub-zero temperature environment aids the part in maintaining its shape by freezing the water present in the paste. The paste freezes very quickly when deposited on a substrate in a freezing environment. However, as the part’s height increases, the freezing time increases as the heat conduction rate to the substr...

The Sesame modeling and simulation framework aims at early and thus efficient system-level design space exploration of embedded multimedia system architectures. So far, Sesame only supported performance evaluation when mapping a single application onto a (multi-processor) architecture at the time. But since modern multimedia embedded systems are increasingly multi-tasking, we need to address th...

background: diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats. methods: forty male alb...
