The aim of the present study was to determine the ferulic acid (FA) content of Radix Angelicae Sinensis (AS), Danggui-Buxue-Tang (DBT) and Danggui-Sini-Tang (DST) using the same ultra performance liquid chromatography system and method. FA was eluted using an Acquity BEH C18 column (100×2.1 mm inner diameter; 1.7 μm). A mobile phase of methanol and 0.5% acetic acid was used and a flow rate of 0...

In recent years the equitable lien has been the subject of increasing interest. This renewed attention has been generated primarily by significant developments in case law and by the inclination of litigants to seek a proprietary remedy in the form of the equitable lien, particularly in bankruptcy and insolvency matters.* 1 However, the equitable lien itself has often remained overshadowed and ...

This ancient text is especially evocative for philosophy in that it constitutes a real exception in classical political theory. Whereas the principal sociopolit...

This paper reports results of an experiment LRVE (Leaf Area Index Retrieval and Validation Experiment) that was conducted over agricultural areas of Central India during winter season of 2001-02, aimed at relating field measurements of LAI to space borne IRS LISS-III data, preparation of site-level LAI maps and validation of MODIS-based 1 km LAI global fields,. Measurements of fieldlevel LAI, a...

In this paper, we apply the theory of Chern-Cheeger-Simons to construct canonical invariants associated to an r-simplex whose points parametrize flat connections on a smooth manifold X. These invariants lie in degrees (2p − r − 1)-cohomology with C/Z-coefficients, for p > r ≥ 1. This corresponds to a homomorphism on the higher homology groups of the moduli space of flat connections, and taking ...
