Based on habitat preferences, in this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of Magnolia genus northern part Sulawesi. Habitat characteristics, especially temperature, precipitation, and topography, were determined using analysis. The temperature precipitation datasets obtained from WorldClim BIO Variables V1, topographical data Google Earth Engine. Data collection began 2008–2009 was ...

Pliocene fluviolacustrine deposits within the Yushe Basin of Shanxi Province are extremely well developed, and contain abundant paleobotanical remains. Representative taxa from the early to middle Pliocene include: Magnolia, Liquidambar, Platycarya, Tsuga, and others, indicating a northern subtropical dense forest for the landscape of the Yushe basin during that period. There was, however, a tr...

A/Professor Chong Siew Meng relates the teaching of Pathology in the Medical School since 1905. The Pathology Department of the College of Medicine is closely associated with the Department of Pathology of the Government Medical Service. Pathologists in the Government Medical Service taught medical students till 1955 when the chair of Pathology was filled by Professor R Kirts. Undergraduates an...

Most fungal diversity studies have previously been based on morphological examination and cultivation methods. In this study we use a molecular method based on DGGE coupled with sequence analysis of 18S rRNA gene to assess fungal diversity on leaves of Magnolia liliifera. To achieve this, we extracted total genomic DNA and used fungal specific primers (NS1 and GCFung) to obtain fungal sequences...

This paper addresses the issue of sampling from the posterior distribution of exponential random graph (ERG) models and other statistical models with intractable normalizing constants. Existing methods based on exact sampling are either infeasible or require very long computing time. We propose and study a general framework of approximate MCMC sampling from these posterior distributions. We als...

Saure Carhoxypeptidase, welche Phenylalanin von CbO-Leu-Phe-OH bei pH 5,3 abspaltet, ist ein in höheren Angiospermen weit verbreitetes Enzym. Es scheint dagegen in primitiven Angiospermen (Fagus und Magnolia) sowie in Gymnospermen und Kryptogamen (Ausnahme: Equisetum) zu fehlen. Bei Zitrone ist die Aktivität saurer Carboxypeptidase von Natur und Alter der extrahierten Gewebe abhängig (Exocarp u...

Results: The gastric residue rate of the rats in the drug-treated group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05), while the intestinal propulsive rates were markedly higher (P<0.05). The motilin and gastrin level in serum of the drug-treated groups had significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with the control group. Compared with the raw product group, there was an apparent r...

Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) and other species of ambrosia beetles are key pests of ornamental nursery trees. A variety of laboratory- and field-based experiments were conducted in pursuit of improved monitoring strategies and to develop a trap tree strategy for ambrosia beetles. Traps baited with bolts prepared from Magnolia virginiana L. injected with ethanol caught five times more X. ge...

Developers are familiar with the multitude of small scale content management systems on the market but few know about large scale web content management systems. Up until now, applications such as plone, magnolia, and projects by the Apache foundation have attempted to fill the large market niche. PHP based content management systems have had trouble acquiring enterprise deployments for a numbe...

While working in his garden in the spring of 1763, English clergyman Edward Stone was positive he had found a cure for malaria. Tasting the bark of a willow (Salix alba), Stone noticed a bitter flavor similar to that of fever tree (Cinchona spp.), the Peruvian plant used to make quinine. He reported his discovery to the Royal Society in London, recommending that willow be tested as an inexpensi...
