This article presents Q-Facies, an open-source Python package for quantitative analysis of hydrochemical facies (HF). HF is widely used to interpret the chemical characteristics groundwater. However, it difficult analyse its spatial or temporal variability due qualitative nature and small number classes. To avoid these limitations, Q-Facies performs parametrization based on calculation five sta...

BACKGROUND/AIM Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Increased oxidative stress has been shown to be a prominent and early feature in AD. Medicinal plants with antioxidant activities have been used traditionally in the treatment of several human diseases. The present study aims to investigate the effect of Salvia triloba and Piper nigrum plant extracts on the oxi...

Many plant species have the capacity to regenerate asexually by resprouting from stem and leaf fragments. In the pan-tropical shrub genus Piper, this tendency is thought to be higher in shade-tolerant than light-demanding species, and to represent a trade-off with annual seed production. Here we use molecular markers to identify clones in five Piper species varying in light requirements. We tes...

Background: Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is mainly cultivated in tropical areas such as South India. It is known as a popular spice in all over the world. Although some studies have been carried out to determine the ingredients of black pepper Essential Oil (EO) cultivated in various regions of the world, but there is little data about some physicochemical characteristics of EO of black pepper c...

To determine the groundwater quality a total of twenty samples were collected from some villages Sirsa district, Haryana, India, which is one most important agricultural areas state. The in November 2016 different city Sirsa. suitability for irrigation was assessed by determining Sodium Absorption Ratio, % Na, Kelly's Index, Permeability index, EC, Chloro-alkaline indices and Residual Carbonate...
