Sixteen methanolic extracts obtained from thirteen plant species, selected either from ethnobotanical or chemotaxonomical data, were screened for their antileishmanial activity against Leishmania amazonensis. The cytotoxic activity against normal peritoneal macrophages from normal BALB/c mice was also determined. Eight extracts had IC50 values ranging from <12.5 to 37.8 µg/mL against promastigo...

The current practice used to evaluate broadleaf weed cover in turfgrass is visual assessment, which time consuming and often leads inconsistencies among evaluators. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of constructing Random Forest models (RF), either pixel-, object-based (OBIA) or a combination both detect quantify cover. High resolution multispectral images were captured 136 plots...

An influence of various humic-plant feed additives based on some herbs (nettle, chamomile, yarrow, perforatum), lucerne and humic materials on biochemical indices of Lohmann Brown (LB) layers blood plasma was estimated. Hens were housed in deep litter system, 20 birds in a group. Four groups were formed: control (C - standard feeding), and experimental, supplemented with prepara- tions: E-1 her...

Fifteen yarrow populations from different species Achillea millefolium L., A. biebersteinii L. and A. nobilis, from different geographical areas of Iran were studied using 24 morphological traits and peroxidase profiles. Comparison of mean values of different phenotypic traits show A. millefolium and A. biebersteinii L. had higher plant height and crown diameter; however, A. nobilis had higher ...

An operating system kernel uses cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) for creating address space layout randomization (ASLR) offsets to protect memory addresses of processes from exploitation, storing users’ passwords securely and cryptographic keys. However, at present, popular CSPRNGs such as Yarrow, Fortuna /dev/(u)random which are used by MacOS/iOS/FreeBSD, Windows...

Oleander is very frequently planted as an ornamental shrub in urban areas of the Mediterranean.
