Abstract Background: Jatropha variegata Vahl is a well-known Yemeni medicinal shrub, used traditionally in wounds treatment. Purpose: investigation of wound healing and antibacterial activities of J. variegata extract as new gel formula. Methodology: J.variegata leaves and stems were collected from Ibb Province, Yemen, and extracted by maceration in methanol. The physicochemical and biologi...

Medicinal herb Bauhinia variegata L. is the main ingredient in “Gandmala Kandan Ras” herbomineral medicine used Ayurveda for treatment of swelling, inflammation and tumors. This study aimed to isolate anti-inflammatory compounds from methanolic extract aerial parts variegata. Through bioassay-guided isolation, three known flavonoids, namely kaempferol, ombuin quercetin were identified variega. ...

Recovery of degraded reefs is dependent on the settlement of coral larvae into habitats typically dominated by benthic algae, so that benthic algae may play pivotal roles in coral settlement and reef recovery. Here we demonstrate that waterborne influences of macroalgae could affect coral settlement before larvae contact reef substrata and that such effects vary between macroalgae. We tested fo...

Un articolo scritto in stile ibrido, fra il paper scientifico e i l saggio, per descrivere le necessità e le suggestioni che hanno dato vita ad un nuovo tipo di corso su temi attinenti alla “digital literacy” insieme ai risultati ottenuti su una vasta e variegata popolazione studentesca nel corso degli ultimi quattro semestri. Si descrivono le caratteristiche di una nuova “classe a pareti sotti...

Uptake and depuration kinetics of dissolved silver were determined in the brown alga Lobophora variegata, using radiotracer techniques. Results indicate that this widely distributed alga could be a useful bioindicator species for surveying silver contamination in tropical environments. Indeed, results showed that the alga readily concentrates silver (algal concentration of silver was 7,000 time...

Intestinal helminths are reported from four species of scincid lizards from southern Africa: Mabuya occidentalis, Mabuya spilogaster, Mabuya striata and Mabuya variegata. The helminth fauna consisted of one species of Cestoda, Oochoristica truncata and five species of Nematoda, Abbreviata paradoxa, Maxvachonia dimorpha, Parapharyngodon rotundatus, Spauligodon petersi and Thubunaea fitzsimonsi. ...

Recently it was demonstrated that holographic interferometry could be used to quantify minute displacements of a mature Stapelia variegata Linn. The previously unobtainable measurements revealed that the short term response of the stapelia was regular enough so that the dynamics could be evaluated through the use of a highly damped mass, spring, dashpot model. Such a model is derived explicitly...

Endophytes from an unexplored plant such as Spatterdock (SD) Nuphar lutea variegata could be a dependable producer of novel secondary metabolites active against drug resistance organisms. This study explored the diversity fungal endophytes mid-rib (MR) and leaf blade (LB) well antimicrobial antioxidant potentials their metabolites. Morphological features observed showed four species were isolat...

Trees in urban areas provide important ecosystem services and are an essential element of green space. The constant increase artificial light from anthropogenic activities around the world creates photopollution that affects phenology physiology plants. Here we conducted a field study to investigate impacts on six trees (Saraca asoca, Terminalia catappa, Bauhinia variegata, Holoptelea integrifo...

In this study, functional and numerical response tests, which are important components in the selection of biological control agent, were carried out. trials, amount food consumed, attack rate (a) handling time (Th) calculated for each developmental period, depending on number preys given after 24 hours. The obtained results evaluated with Holling. experiments, development predator insect was e...
