Prunus serotina (black cherry), commonly known in Mexico as capulín, is used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal diseases. Particularly, P. serotina seeds, consumed in Mexico as snacks, are used for treating cough. In the present study, nutritional and volatile analyses of black cherry seeds were carried out to determine their n...

The casing deformation problems are presented over 36 wells (among 112 horizontal wells by 2016) during fracturing processes in Weiyuan-Changning shale gas play in China.1 Subsequent tools could be blocked in the wellbore.2–4 The segments with serious deformation had to be abandoned before completing fracturing operations.5 The casing deformation issues make a great influence on production of s...

Let λ : G̃ → G be the non-trivial double covering of the symplectic group G = Sp(V, ω) of the symplectic vector space (V, ω) by the metaplectic group G̃ = Mp(V, ω). In this case, λ is also a representation of G̃ on the vector space V and thus, it gives rise to the representation of G̃ on the space of exterior forms ∧• V by taking wedge products. Let S be the minimal globalization of the Harish-Chan...

Ethnomedicinal implies the usage of medicinal plants used by a group of people on account of their traditional knowledge and phytochemical means the individual chemical that plant contains. This review involves the ethnomedicinal and phytochemical perspectives of Pyrus communis Linn. In the “The Indian Materia Medica”, the common pear or gabbu gosha is considered as ‘Amritphale’ because of its ...

Pyrus magyarica was considered as a “superendemic” species of the Carpathian Basin for a long time; however, despite its presumed significance, doubts about its taxonomical status have been raised. the confusions originate from the invalidity of the description and the lack of type material. latter interpretations are not consistent and contradict the description of the species in the protologu...

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology can be a valuable tool for describing and quantifying vegetation structure. However, because of their size, extraction of leaf geometries remains complicated. In this study, the intensity data produced by the Terrestrial Laser System (TLS) FARO LS880 is corrected for the distance effect and its relationship with the angle of incidence between the l...

In this study, methanol and ether extracts of five endemic Asperula species (Rubiaceae) from Turkey (A. antalyensis, A. brevifolia, A. pseudochlorantha, A. purpurea subsp. apiculata and A. serotina), used in the traditional system of medicine, were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar well diffusion method and the broth dilution method. The most active species were Asperula brevifolia ...

the effect of ca, zn and b spray application on preharvest fruit drop, sugars, calcium, zinc, and boron concentrations and as well on some physicochemical fruit properties of five commercial asian pear cultivars (‘ks’7, ‘ks’8, ‘ks’11, ‘ks’12 and ‘ks’14) was investigated under tehran province,s environmental conditions. trees were sprayed one month past fruit set until harvest within two week in...
