The present work evaluated the chemical composition and the DNA protective effect of the essential oils (EOs) from Lippia alba against bleomycin-induced genotoxicity. EO constituents were determined by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. The major compounds encountered being citral (33% geranial and 25% neral), geraniol (7%) and trans-β-caryophyllene (7%) for L. alba specime...

In order for a lignocellulosic bioenergy feedstock to be considered sustainable, it must possess a high rate of growth to supply biomass for conversion. Despite the desirability of a fast growth rate for industrial application, it is unclear what effect growth rate has on biomass composition or saccharification. We characterized Klason lignin, glucan, and xylan content with response to growth i...

Immigration has become one of the most politically contentious and publicly contested issues in modern-day Europe. Immigration and immigrant-related diversity have become facts of life across the continent, but the adjustment by states to this new reality has not always been seamless. What started as a byproduct of colonialism and ill-conceived guest-worker schemes has now become a cornerstone ...

The hexanic extract composition of two populations of Lippia graveolens growing in an arid zone in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley (Zapotitlán Salinas, Puebla), Central Mexico, in different seasons of the year, and in contrasting conditions of ecological disturbance has been studied by GC and GC-MS. Regarding to the composition of these extracts, qualitative differences among the two populations ...

The (2+1)-dimensional higher-order Broer-Kaup (HBK) system is studied by nonlocal symmetry method and consistent tanh expansion (CTE) method in this paper. Some exact interaction solutions among different nonlinear excitations such as solitons, rational waves, periodic waves and corresponding images are explicitly given.
