I am a herpetologist specializing on exotic animals and plants psychology behavior. was travelling around Japan through my travels lucky to spot an interesting history use of specific type cactus. The city called Cactus City in were the community celebrating promoting health benefits eat cactus and, they managed pass bill introduce as food schools. This unusual devotion towards xerophytes, comi...

Cationic, triple-chain amphiphiles promote vesicle fusion more than structurally related double-chain or single-chain analogues. Two types of vesicle fusion experiments were conducted, mixing of oppositely charged vesicles and acid-triggered self-fusion of vesicles composed of cationic amphiphile and anionic cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHEMS). Vesicle fusion was monitored by standard fluorescenc...

The yeast species found in necrotic stems of three columnar cacti (Pilosocereus machrisii, Pilosocereus vilaboensis, and Praecereus euchlorus) at eight localities in Brazil were described and a similarity analysis using Sorensen distances was used to compare the composition of yeast species at these localities. Of 56 necrotic cactus stems sampled, 32 produced yeast colonies. Ten species of yeas...

In this paper we consider a fundamental problem in the area of viral marketing, called TARGET SET SELECTION problem. We study the problem when the underlying graph is a block-cactus graph, a chordal graph or a Hamming graph. We show that if G is a block-cactus graph, then the TARGET SET SELECTION problem can be solved in linear time, which generalizes Chen’s result [2] for trees, and the time c...

Characterization of three cactus proteins (native and denatured) from Machaerocereus gummosus (Pitahaya agria), Lophocereu schottii (Garambullo), and Cholla opuntia (Cholla), was based on electrophoretic, fluorescence, CD (circular dichroism), DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) measurements. The obtained results of intrinsic fluorescence, DSC, and CD...

The 2-level cactus introduced by Dinitz and Nutov in [5] is a data structure that represents the minimum and minimum+1 edgecuts of an undirected connected multi-graph G in a compact way. In this paper, we study planarity of the 2-level cactus, which can be used, e.g., in graph drawing. We give a new sufficient planarity criterion in terms of projection paths over a spanning subtree of a graph. ...

Abstract Inspired by the interesting functional traits of a climbing cactus, Selenicereus setaceus, found in forest formations Southeastern Brazil, we formulated hypothesis that can directly learn from plants to develop multi-functional artificial systems means multi-disciplinary approach. In this context, our approach is take advantage 3D-printing techniques and shape-memory hydrogels synergis...

The durability of concrete incorporating cactus extract as a bio-admixture is the focus this study, which first its kind in literature. Cactus-infused novel type with exceptional fluidity, strength, and durability. In project, was employed an addition to M25(3626 psi) concrete, designed Indian standards. Cactus (1% 9% total weight) used replace water mix. order look into properties experiments ...
