Introduction: Borago officinalis flower (borage) is a known sedative in herbal medicine the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antinociceptive effect of borage hydroalcoholic extract in formalin test male rats. Methods: Fifty-six adult male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups: Control groups of A (intact), B (saline), and C (Positive control) plus test grou...

The antimalarial activities of physalins B, D, F, and G (1-4), isolated from Physalis angulata, were investigated. In silico analysis using the similarity ensemble approach (SEA) database predicted the antimalarial activity of each of these compounds, which were shown using an in vitro assay against Plasmodium falciparum. However, treatment of P. berghei-infected mice with 3 increased parasitem...

The r-fold analogues of Whitney trick were ‘in the air’ since 1960s. However, only in this century they were stated, proved and applied to obtain interesting results, most notably by Mabillard and Wagner. Here we prove and apply a version of the r-fold Whitney trick when general position r-tuple intersections have positive dimension. Theorem. Assume that D = D1 ⊔ . . . ⊔ Dr is disjoint union of...

This paper concerns a variational representation formula for Wiener functionals. Let $B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$ be standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion. Bou\'e and Dupuis (1998) showed that, any bounded measurable functional $F(B)$ of $B$ up to time $1$, the expectation $\mathbb{E}\!\left[ e^{F(B)}\right] $ admits in terms drifted motions. In this paper, with slight modification insightful re...

Let M be a space of weakly*-measurable functions F : ? B(H) on measure (?,?,?), for which the function F*F is Gel'fand integrable and integral d? nuclear operator Hilbert H. We show that H*-module contains an orthonormal basis.

We survey results concerning the maximum size of a family F of subsets of an n-element set such that a certain configuration is avoided. When F avoids a chain of size two, this is just Sperner’s Theorem. Here we give bounds on how large F can be such that no four distinct sets A, B, C, D ∈ F satisfy A ⊂ B, C ⊂ B, C ⊂ D. In this case, the maximum size satisfies ( n b 2 c ) ( 1 + 1 n + Ω ( 1 n ))...

In this paper r, s are real numbers. We now state several propositions: (1) 0 ¬ r + |r|. (2) 0 ¬ −r + |r|. (3) If |r| = |s|, then r = s or r = −s. (4) For all natural numbers i, j such that i < j and i 6= 0 holds i j is not integer. (5) {2 · k; k ranges over natural numbers: k > 1} is infinite. (6) For every function f and for all sets a, b, c such that a 6= c holds (f+·(a7−→ . b))(c) = f(c). (...
