Background:Musa acuminata fruit peels are used in the northern part of Nigeria for the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular related diseases. The effects of aqueous extracts of ripped fruit peel of three cultivars of Musa acuminata (Saro, Ominni and Oranta) on the hepatic and renal parameters of normal rats were examined. Methods: Fruit peel aqueous extracts (FPAE) of the 3 cultiv...

There is a great need for research aimed at understanding drought tolerance, screening for drought tolerant varieties and breeding crops with an improved water use efficiency. Bananas and plantains are a major staple food and export product with a worldwide production of over 135 million tonnes per year. Water however is the most limiting abiotic factor in banana production. A screening of the ...

The invasion of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay salt marshes (France) by a grass species (Elymus athericus) has led to important changes in vegetation cover, which is likely to modify the habitat for many invertebrates. Some of them constitute the main food items for several fish species, such as young sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus), that feed in salt marsh creeks ...

This paper describes an approach to develop the kinematic and dynamic models of IRB 6640-180-255, an industrial manipulator from ABB. Models’ parameters and constraints that characterize robot motion are extracted frommanuals and tests on the same robot in ABB RobotStudio environment. RobotStudio is a software provided by the robot manufacturer and implements a virtual controller identical to t...

Nuclear safety has been one of the main research domains in EURATOM programs for decades, and accident prevention mitigation have drawn much attention paid over years to this framework. In essence interest are designs reliable systems, accurate methods estimate risk, a permanent search optimizing management. This is focus PIACE, MUSA, AMHYCO projects. A fully passive system decay heat removal o...

Abstract The McCloud River Redband Trout (MRRT; Oncorhynchus mykiss stonei ) is a unique subspecies of rainbow trout that inhabits the isolated Upper Northern California. A major threat to MRRT introgressive hybridization with non-native from historical stocking and contemporary unauthorized introductions. To help address this concern, we collected RAD-sequencing data on 308 total individuals o...

CanaddBritish Columbia Mineral Development Agreement, this area was selected for more detailed analysis than presently available. During the 1986 field season fieldwork was centred on the Cowichan Lake area (Figures 3-9-1 and 3-9-21, Access in the area is provided by an extensive network of logging roads in various states of upkeep. Roadcuts provide most ofthe exposure for mapping; rock units a...
