The ethanolic extract of S. robusta resin (10 and 30 % w/w applied locally in excised and incised wounds) produced a dose-dependent acceleration in wound contraction and increased hydroxyproline content and tensile strength of wounds in rats. The results demonstrate wound healing activity of ethanolic extract of S. robusta resin.

Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of Vibrio fischeri SR5, a squid symbiotic isolate from Sepiola robusta in the Mediterranean Sea. This 4.3-Mbp genome sequence represents the first V. fischeri genome from an S. robusta symbiont and the first from outside the Pacific Ocean.

The detritivore arthropods promote litter decomposition and nutrient release in soil, but their functional role varies depending on feeding habit and the physicochemical properties of plant litter. We compared the feeding impact of Anoplodesmus saussurei (Humbert) and Porcellio laevis Latraeille, on litter breakdown and soil enzyme activities. These detritivores have contrasting feeding habits ...

Rhagovelia kararao sp. nov., collected in sandstone caves from northern Brazil, is described and compared with similar and related species. Rhagovelia pachymeri Nieser & Melo, 1997 is synonymized with Rhagovelia robusta Gould, 1931. An updated key to the species of the robusta group occurring in Brazil is presented.

This work describes a comparative qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of Maytenus ilicifolia and Maytenus robusta (Celastraceae), extracts by high-resolution gas chromatography (HRGC), using external standards as the method of determination and thin layer chromatographic (TLC). The results show that both plants have a similar chromatographic profile. However, M. robusta exhibited abo...

Stereospecific analysis is an important tool for the characterization of lipid fraction of food products. In the present research, an approach to characterize arabica and robusta varieties by structural analysis of the triacylglycerol (TAG) fraction is reported. The lipids were Soxhlet extracted from ground roasted coffee beans with petroleum ether, and the fatty acids (FA) were determined as t...

Neste artigo descrevemos um algoritmo robusto capaz de determinar os parâmetros extrı́nsecos assumidos por uma câmera na captação dos quadros de um vı́deo, dado que os parametros intrı́nsecos foram previamente estimados, e que esses não variam ao longo do tempo. Apresentamos no final do artigo os resultados do uso desse algoritmo na criação de um sistema capaz de fazer realidade aumentada em um vı́...

The aim of this study was to analyze the variation of different genetic diversity measures in 5 Italian local chicken breeds over a 4-yr period of conservation. The local breeds were Ermellinata di Rovigo, Padovana, Pépoi, Robusta Lionata, and Robusta Maculata. A total of 368 samples were chosen for the analysis among the birds hatched in the years 2002 and 2006. Genetic variation over 30 micro...

Penyambungan (grafting) merupakan salah satu upaya untuk memperbaiki sifat tanaman menggunakan bahan klonal baik pada fase pembibitan, pemeliharaan maupun rehabilitasi. Keragaan kopi Robusta dapat diperbaiki melalui penyambungan intraspesifik (Robusta/Robusta) menghasilkan produktivitas yang lebih tinggi atau interspesifik (Arabika/Robusta) Arabika. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) mengetahui p...

Video images of 215 adult Gila robusta and 148 endangered Gila cypha were collected from May 1991–October 1992 at eight Colorado River basin localities (seven upper basins and one lower basin). The two species were sympatric at five of these locations; G. robusta was absent at one site, whereas G. cypha was missing at two others. Saggital views of each individual were videotaped and 25 morpholo...
