Mataeomera Butler, 1886, currently referred to the tribe Eublemmini in Boletobiinae (Holloway 2011), was proposed by Butler (1886) to accommodate an Australian species, Mataeomera dubia Butler. This genus was once regarded as a junior synonym of Autoba Walker by Poole (1989) but resurrected by Edwards (1996). Another related genus, Catoblemma Hampson, 1910 originally proposed for Catoblemma sum...

In 1841, T. W. Harris published "A Report on the Insects of Massachusetts, Injurious to Vegetation," a seminal work in North American Entomology and one of the first New World publications to describe Lepidoptera species. Although appearing in several subsequent editions, the eight family-group names proposed by Harris were largely overlooked. In summarizing Harris' family-group names, we show ...

Triazoles with different substituent groups are found to possess diverse applications in the field of medicine and industry. A series of 4-(substituted ethanoyl)amino-3-mercapto-5-(4-nitro)phenyl-1,2,4-triazoles (NU-1 to NU-15) were synthesized as novel antimicrobial agents starting from 4-nitrobenzoic acid. The chemical structures of these newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H ...

A total of 10,154 5'-end expressed sequence tags (EST) were established from the normalized and size-selected cDNA libraries of a marine red alga, Porphyra yezoensis. Among the ESTs, 2140 were unique species, and the remaining 8014 were grouped into 1127 species. Database search of the 3267 non-redundant ESTs by BLAST algorithm showed that the sequences of 1080 species (33.1%) have similarity t...

Background and Objective: Antibiotic resistance is the ability of microbes to survive antibiotic exposure with standard doses. Regular updating of antibiotics is one solution to overcome antibiotic resistance. One source with potential new antibiotics is moonmilk from caves because it contains various bacteria proven to have antibacterial activity. The objective of the present study is to explo...

A series of imidazolidinium ligand precursors are metallated with Ag2O to give silver(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes. All compounds were fully characterized by elemental analyses, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy techniques. All compounds studied in this work were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against the standard strains: Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Staph...

5-Phenyl/methyl-5-morpholinomethyl/pyrrolidinomethyl-2-(5- aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)imino]-4-thiazolidinones (5a-m) were synthesized by the reaction of 5-phenyl/methyl-2-[(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol -2-yl)imino]-4-thiazolidinones (4a-j) with formaldehyde and morpholine or pyrrolidine. The structures of the compounds were determined by analytical and spectral (IR, 1H-NMR, EIMS) methods. The antibac...
