Plants used for curdling of milk practiced by kollimalayalis, the tribes of kolli, hills, Salem District, Tamil Nadu are discussed.

Feldspar grains, as a significant provenance indicator, of two terrigenous formations from Central Iran, the Upper Red Formation, and Moghan area, Zivah Formation, are used for provenance determination and the study of transportation and depositional history. The Upper Red Formation (URF) is volumetrically the most important siliciclastic unit of the Central Iran and Zivah Formation (ZF) repres...

The present review describes the morphological, phytochemical and pharmacologyaspects of Cinnamomum tamala (Lauraceae). The plant grows wild in the tropical and subtropical Himalayas, the Khasi hills, the nilgiri hills and at the foot of the Sikkim Himalayas. There are many plantation of this species. Used as carminative, used in colic and diarrhoea. Bark is aromatic, stimulant, antigonorrhoeic...

In this study, the effect of infrared (IR) on decontamination of Bacillus cereus in cardamom seeds were determined at difference IR radiation powers (100, 200, and 300 W), different sample distances from radiation source (5, 10 and 15 cm) and various holding times. The most successful reduction in B. cereus numbers (5.11 log CFU/g) was achieved after a holding time of 8 min at...

Large cardamom is one of the most important spices that can significantly contribute to economical farming in country Nepal. It grown Nepal and north-eastern states India which provide suitable agroclimatic growing conditions high humidity, ambient temperature rainfall. Meeting demand for quality plants yield challenging with traditional methods propagation. The present study has used plant tis...

We describe a new species of small-sized (SVL 24.6–28.8 mm) rupicolous Cnemaspis from the Biligirirangan Hills (BR Hills), Karnataka based on morphology and molecular (mitochondrial 16S ND2) data. The is nested within monticola , mysoriensis gracilis clades, where it basal to clades in Maximum Likelihood analysis clade Bayesian phylogenetic analysis.

rapidly supervened after the leaves and succulent stalks of Scopolici larida had been eaten in mistake for a very similar and quite harmless plant known to Gurkhas as Tambaku sag or Laringa. It is an accident that might well happen again during a frontier campaign, for the plant is not very uncommon in the hills beyond and within the border though local in its habitat, and there is evidently a ...

In 2009, Shapiro posed the following question: “What is the asymptotic proportion of Dyck paths having an even number of hills?” In this paper, we answer Shapiro’s question, as well as a generalization of the question to ternary paths. We find that the probability that a randomly chosen ternary path has an even number of hills approaches 125/169 as the length of the path approaches infinity. Ou...
