Musa paradisiaca L. and Musa sapientum L. (Musaceae) are mainly grown in the tropical and subtropical countries and are widely used for its nutritional values all over the world. The fruits as well as the other parts of the plant are used to treat different diseases in human in traditional medicine. This review presents the scientific information on the traditional uses, phytochemistry and phar...

The problem of assigning appropriate pitch spellings is one of the most fundamental problems in the analysis of digital music information. We present an algorithm for nding the optimal spelling based on the Spiral Array model, a geometric model embodying the relations in tonality. The algorithm does not require the key context to be determined. Instead, it uses a center of e ect (c.e.), an inte...

The genetic improvement of banana and plantain has focused on breeding for resistance to black sigatoka. This has been quite successful, but the distribution of improved hybrids has been impeded by the outbreak of Banana streak virus (BSV). Integration of viral sequences in Musa genomes make it diffi cult to apply commonly accepted principles for host-plant resistance. The short-term strategy o...

Banana inflorescences are popularly known as 'navels,' and they are used in Brazil as nutritional complements. However, the nutritional value of banana inflorescences (male flowers and bracts) has never been studied. Therefore, plant material of Musa acuminata, cultivar "ouro", was collected in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, and then submitted to chemical procedures to determine its nutritional ...

With current trends towards moving variability from hardware to software, and given the increasing desire to postpone design decisions as much as is economically feasible, managing the variability from requirements elicitation to implementation is becoming a primary business requirement in the product line engineering process. One of the main challenges in variability management is the visualiz...

This article examines the representation of disability by disabled black South African men as portrayed in two texts from the autosomatography genre, which encompasses first-person narratives of illness and disability. Drawing on extracts from Musa E. Zulu's The language of me and William Zulu's Spring will come, the article argues that physical disability affects heteronormative concepts of ma...

Arranged from oldest to youngest, the main granitic rock units exposed in Khour Abalea are metagabbros, cataclastic rocks, ophiolitic melange, pegmatite and lamprophyre dykes. The presence of radioactivity associated with heavy bearing minerals construction materials—like granite—increased interest extraction process. As it turns out, rocks play an important economic part examination area’s sur...
