Ruminal impaction is considered an important internal disease in ruminants, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats. It has been reported that its occurrence is associated with many different causes. This study describes a novel case of ruminal impaction caused by a plant, Ficus esquiroliana Levl., in Boer goats. This case suggests that Ficus esquiroliana should be taken into consideration when pr...

The availability of transcriptomic data sequence is a key step for functional genomics studies. Recently, a repertoire of predicted genes of a Japanese cultivar of fig (Ficus carica L.) was released. Because of the great phenotypic variability that can be found in this species, we decided to study another fig genotype, the Italian cv. Dottato, in order to perform comparative studies between the...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the larvicidal efficacy of different extracts of Ficus benghalensis L. against Culex quinquefasciatus Say, Aedes aegypti L. and Anopheles stephensi L. (Diptera: Culicidae). MATERIALS AND METHODS Larvicidal efficacy of the crude leaf extracts of Ficus benghalensis with three different solvents like methanol, benzene and acetone was tested against the early second, thir...

Ficus is a flexible replication facility with optimistic concurrency control designed to span a wide range of scales and network environments. Optimistic concurrency control provides rapid local access and high availability of files for update in the face of disconnection, at the cost of occasional conflicts that are only discovered when the system is reconnected. Ficus reliably detects all pos...

To create a molecular marker characterization for twenty species of Ficus, eight decamer primers were used to randomly amplify these species genomic DNA producing a total of 172 distinct polymorphic band patterns. One band was chosen to be converted into the more robust sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker format to provide a unique molecular marker characterization for the var...

In Brazil, Ficus mexiae is classified as Vulnerable under IUCN criteria, and to date there is only one report on pollinator activity for this species. Is not unusual to find cases where more than one species of wasp simultaneously occurs on and pollinates the same fig. In this study we present evidence that two Pegoscapus wasp species contribute to the pollination of F. mexiae and relationship ...

The engineering data of a large enterprise is typically distributed over a wide area and archived in a variety of file systems and databases. Access to such information is crucial to team members and relevant processing services (applications, tools and utilities) in a concurrent engineering setting. However, this is not easy because there is no simple way to efficiently access the information ...

Opuntia ficus indica and Pistacia lentiscus L. seeds are used in traditional medicine. The objective of this study was to investigate the toxicity of the fixed oil of Opuntia ficus indica and Pistacia lentiscus L. seeds in mice through determination of LD₅₀ values, and also the physicochemical characteristics of the fixed oil of these oils. The acute toxicity of their fixed oil were also invest...

Objective: Protective effect of Ficus religiosa leaf extract on cyclophosphamide induced oxidative stress on brain. Material and Method: In vitro antioxidative analysis for the exploration of the antioxidative properties of Ficus religiosa leaf extract (FRL) and Ficus religosa bark (FRB) was done. To analysis the In vivo antioxidant property of extracts on the oxidative stress induced by the cy...

it has been reported that latex and extracts of different species of ficus are cytotoxic to some human cancerous cell lines. in this study, cytotoxicity of fruit and leaf extracts as well as the latex of ficus carica l. on hela cell line were evaluated. ethanolic extracts of leaves and fruits were prepared through percolation and ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts were prepared by reflu...
