The different concentrations of benzene, alcoholic and aqueous root extracts of Dalbergia spinosa Roxb. (Fabaceae) have been studied for its anitmicrobial activity against certain gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus), gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Escherichia coli) bacteria and fungi (Candida albicans) using cup plate method. Benzene, alcoholic extracts(50, 75 an...

Background: Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers causes’ harmful impact on soil, environment and human being, hence demand organic food products has shot up recently. Organic farming aims to optimization crop productivity rather than its maximization through renewal strengthening ecological processes functions whole ecosystem. Limited varieties information is available long term performan...

A green route to synthesise glutathione protected atomically precise silver clusters by sunlight irradiation of silver thiolates confi ned in gel cavities, and the antibacterial properties of the as-synthesized clusters against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. A...

Many bloodstream infections (BSI) in patients with central venous catheters (CVC) are not catheter-related (CR). Assessment of catheter involvement without catheter withdrawal has not been studied in candidemia. We assessed the value of conservative techniques to evaluate catheters as the origin of candidemia in patients with CVC in a prospective cohort study (superficial Gram stain and culture...

Antibacterial in vitro activity of white (bulb), red (bulb) and spring (bulb and leafs) onion towards the Gramnegative Escherichia coli 8752 and the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis 8751 was investigated. Mature onion samples were purchased from a big supermarket while the green onion was organically grown. Experiments were performed via agar well diffusion method. Samples were separately homoge...

This paper surveys some combinatorial aspects of Smith normal form, and more generally, diagonal form. The discussion includes general algebraic properties and interpretations of Smith normal form, critical groups of graphs, and Smith normal form of random integer matrices. We then give some examples of Smith normal form and diagonal form arising from (1) symmetric functions, (2) a result of Ca...
