BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine whether neem Azadirachta indica possesses regenerative potential on the stomach and ileum at 500 mg/kg dose given every 12 hours after mucosa lesion was brought by the administration of 1 ml of 50% ethanol for 21 consecutive days in adult Wistar rats. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats used in the study were divided into 3 groups: group A received o...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of soil amendment with urea coated with nimin (neembased product with neem-triterpenes) and oils of neem, castor, and rocketsalad on the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, and plant growth of mung in pots. Soil amendment with urea coated with different doses viz., 0.02g, 0.04g and 0.06g/pot of nimin and oils of neem, castor rocket-...

The efficacy of essential oils of Cymbopogan nardus (citronella) and Azadirachta indica (neem) on Fasciola gigantica was assessed in vitro. The essential oil of citronella showed a potential anthelmintic activity whereas neem oil did not show any significant effect. Study revealed that 1% citronella oil showed anthelmintic effect on live Fasciola gigantica. The in vitro anthelmintic effect was ...

the effluents of tannery industries are the major source of chromium contamination in thegroundwater. in most of the sub-urban areas ground water is the major source of drinking water. for humanbeing long term exposure to chromium is detrimental. the main objective of this study is to assess thegroundwater contamination and to adopt appropriate methods and to develop suitable techniques either ...

The efficacy of different extracts of neem leaf on seed borne fungi Aspergillus, Rhizopus and chemical characterization of the neem leaf extracts were studied in vitro on the culture medium. The growth of both the fungal species was inhibited significantly (p<0.01) and controlled with both alcoholic and water extract of all ages and of the concentrations used. The alcoholic extracts of neem lea...

How did language evolve? A popular approach points to the similarities between the ontogeny and phylogeny of language. Young children's language and nonhuman primates' signing both appear formulaic with limited syntactic combinations, thereby suggesting a degree of continuity in their cognitive abilities. To evaluate the validity of this approach, as well as to develop a quantitative benchmark ...

In this paper we will fully characterize all types of winning moves in the “takeaway” game of Fibonacci Nim. We prove the known winning algorithm as a corollary of the general winning algorithm and then show that no other winning algorithms exist. As a by-product of our investigation of the game, we will develop useful properties of Fibonacci numbers. We conclude with an exploration of the prob...

The in vitro toxicity of neem seed oil (Azadirachta indica A. Juss, family: Meliaceae, Dogon yaro in Hausa language in Nigeria) was tested against the larvae of a one-host tick, Boophilus decoloratus (family: Ixodidae or hard tick, commonly known as blue tick) parasitic mainly to cattle generally found in savannas of tropical equatorial Africa. The 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% concentrations of neem...

The adsorption of chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated on Neem sawdust (NS), Mango sawdust (MS), Wheat shell (WS), Sugarcane bagasse (SB) and Orange peel (OP). The adsorbent which showed highest chromium(VI) removal was Neem sawdust. The influence of pH, contact time, biomass dosage and initial metal concentration on biosorption was investigated. The biosorptive capaci...
