The correlation between the physical paths of a digital circuit has important implications in various design automation problems, such as timing analysis, test generation and diagnosis. When considering the complexity and tight timing constraints of modern circuits, this correlation affects both the design process and the testing approaches followed in manufacturing. In this work we quantify th...

During drilling of Leg 160 in the Eastern Mediterranean (April−May, 1995), Messinian (i.e., uppermost Miocene) facies were identified at a site at the base of the Cyprus slope (Site 968) and at two sites on the Eratosthenes Seamount (Sites 965 and 967). The new results can be compared with the recovery of Messinian evaporites from the Florence Rise west of Cyprus (Deep Sea Drilling Project Site...

Striatal targets related to the dorsal thalamus were studied in reptiles. The lateral striatum projects to globus pallidus and to three cellular groups associated to the lateral forebrain bundle: the anterior entopeduncular nucleus, the suprapeduncular nucleus, and the ventromedial thalamic nucleus. The projection is heavier on the suprapeduncular nucleus, which in turn projects on nucleus rotu...

Haematophagous bats exist only in Latin America, from México to the Northern provinces of Argentina. They are represented by three species, Desmodus rotundus, Diphylla ecaudata and Diaemus youngii. While two species feed only on blood of wild birds, one species, D. rotundus, causes losses feeding on livestock and could be a vector for rabies virus. The cases in which humans were bitten by the b...

Eight essential oils of Chinese medicinal herbs (Angelica sinensis, Curuma aeruginosa, Cyperus rotundus, Eucalyptus robusta, Illicium verum, Lindera aggregate, Ocimum basilicum, and Zanthoxylum bungeanum) were obtained by hydrodistillation and the essential oil of Eucalyptus robusta leaves was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 22 components of the essential oi...

The main objective of present study is to explore the hypotensive and GIT effect of traditionally important plant Cyperus rotudus. Aqueous extract of C. rotundus caused a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure in anaesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats in a dose dependant manner. At the dose of 3 mg/kg the MAB was found to reduce by 42.6% from its control. This fall in the MABP was statistically si...

Authentic Ativisha (Aconitum heterophyllum) is a rare, endangered Himalayan species. Ayurveda classical texts of c. 15(th)-16(th) century, introduced "abhava-pratinidhi dravya" concept, wherein Ativisha was categorized as an abhava dravya (unavailable drug) and Musta (Cyperus rotundus) was suggested as a pratinidhi dravya (substitute) for it. C. rotundus is a weed, abundantly available pan-Indi...
