Objectives Literature has shown that micro-organisms contaminate gutta percha (GP) during storage and manipulation. Till date herbal extracts are not explored as an alternative medicament for pre-operative chairside disinfection of GP cones. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and efficacy of lemon grass oil (LG), basil oil (BO), and obicure tea extract (OT) in d...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fertilizers on the yield and essential oils of basil. this experiment was carried out in completely randomized block design with three replications in jiroft area. the treatments included three levels of barvar 2 (10, 20 and 25 g/ha), cow manure at three levels (5, 10 and 15 ton/ha), ammonium phosphate and superphosphate triple each at three le...

Detection and mitigation of Byzantine behaviors in a decentralized learning setting is daunting task, especially when the data distribution at users heterogeneous. As our main contribution, we propose Basil, fast computationally efficient robust algorithm for training systems, which leverages novel sequential, memory assisted performance-based criteria over logical ring while filtering users. I...

in order to develop the high intensive agriculture, more chemical fertilizers are applied to the soil that resulting in soil degradation and environment deterioration. application of organic manure is an important approach for maintaining and improving the soil fertility and increasing fertilizer use efficiency. therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of organic manures and chemical fertiliz...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of 10 volatile oils extracted from medicinal plants, including galangal (Alpinia galanga Linn.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus D...

AIM The objective of this study is to investigate the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects of the aqueous extract of parsley, basil, and chicory whole plant in normal and dexamethasone (Dex) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 50 female albino rats were used in this study and divided into 5 groups (for each 10). Group (1) fed basal diet and maintained as negative control group. G...

Environmental and water pollution through heavy metals is a growing concern. The recycling of untreated wastewater, which is often contaminated with heavy metals, for agricultural applications is becoming more popular. However, information on the amount of absorption and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) at variable concentrations by different crops is limited. This study aims to analyze the impact ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of 638-nm and 665-nm LEDs on changes of antioxidants of basil (Ocimum basilicum) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and to assess the effect of light quality on antioxidative status. Plants were grown in peat substrate for 19 days (21/17 ±2°C, 16 h). Experiments were performed in (I) a controlled-environment: B455,R638,R665,FR731(control); B45...
