A replacement name is proposed for genus Dayus Gerken, 2001 (Crustacea: Peracarida: Cumacea), preoccupied by Dayus Mahmood, 1967 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). The following changes are proposed: Jennidayus new replacement name = Dayus Gerken, 2001 (nec Mahmood 1967); Jennidayus pharocheradus (Gerken, 2001), comb. n. = Dayus pharocheradus Gerken, 2001; Jennidayus acanthus (Gerken, 2001), c...

This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity, effective concentration and effect of increasing methanol extract Jeruju leaves (Acanthus ilicifolius) on growth inhibition Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. Extraction was carried out by maceration using as a solvent. Testing activity agar diffusion method (modified Kirby Bauer diffusion) means wells. The results were analyzed One way ANOVA...

Parabetaeus acanthus sp. nov. is described based on two specimens from Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, and Madang, Papua New Guinea. The new species is unique within the genus in possessing an anteriorly directed, spine-like tooth on the mid-dorsal line of the carapace, posterior to base of the eyes, and in the stylocerite not reaching the mid-length of the first article of the antennular peduncle. The c...

The anthelminthic efficacy of the crude aqueous extract of Acanthus montanus (Nees) T. Anders (Acanthaceae) against strongylid nematodes of small ruminants was investigated using the in-vitro egg hatch and larval growth inhibition assays. Faecal samples collected per rectum from sheep and goats were subjected to parasitological examination using the McMaster counting technique with a yield of 7...

Acanthus ilicifolius L. (Acanthaceae) is a spiny herb of mangrove widely distributed in southeastern Asia. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-hepatitis agent. Previous pharmaceutical studies on this plant revealed that the crude alcoholic extract of its leaves showed antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antitumour and anticarcinogenic effects [1 – 2]. The con...

The tremendous application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the various scientific fields has rendered its synthesis to be largely significant community. Interestingly, plant-mediated appears sustainable over conventional synthetic method as a result cheap, safe, fast, and clean outcome. This study, for first time, investigates potential Acanthus montanus leaves extract biological reducing ag...

decorative arts have got a special place in iranian architecture traditionally. these types of arts are the symbol of nation's ethnics and indigenous features and also express the artist's feelings of those times. stucco is one type of the decorative arts that has decorated many buildings -especially palaces-that belong to the pre-islamic period and also mosques that built in the isla...

The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...
