Light is a fundamental environmental parameter for plant growth and development because it provides an energy source carbon fixation during photosynthesis regulates many other physiological processes through its signaling. In indoor horticultural cultivation systems, sole-source light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown great potential optimizing producing high-quality products. also regulator of...

This paper describes a preliminary assessment of the nutraceutical value of Amaranthus cruentus (A. cruentus) and Amaranthus hybridus (A. hybridus), two food plant species found in Burkina Faso. Hydroacetonic (HAE), methanolic (ME), and aqueous extracts (AE) from the aerial parts were screened for in vitro antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities. Phytochemical analyses revealed t...

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal properties of selected wild nutraceutical plants from Nebbi district in Uganda. Study Design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Parasitology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and BioSecurity, Makerere Univer...

A Thai written text is a string of symbols without explicit word boundary markup. A method for a development of a segmentation tool from a corpus of already segmented text is described. The methodology is based on the technology of competing patterns, evolved from algorithm for English hyphenation. A new UNICODE pattern generation program, OPATGEN, is used for the learning phase. We have shown ...

The oldest Thai script found in the history dated over 700 years ago, in Sukhothai age. Over years, Thai script has been gradually changed. The contemporary Thai alphabet comprises 44 consonants, 32 vowels, 4 tone marks, 2 diacritics, and 10 decimal digits. These cover only the minimal set of symbols to write Thai words. There are additional 3 symbols particularly used for writing Pali and Sans...

Previous literature describes Thai children as unusually polite, deferent, and behaviorally restrained. Yet, in a recent study employing teacher reports, Thai children were reported to show many more behavior problems than American children. Such a finding may reflect culture-linked differences in the perspective of Thai versus American teachers. To explore this possibility, we used trained obs...
