Labiatae family is well represented in Iran by 46 genera and 410 species and subspecies. Many members of this family are used in traditional and folk medicine. Also they are used as culinary and ornamental plants. There are no distinct references on the ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology of the family in Iran and most of the publications and documents related to the uses of these species are bot...

Despite the numerous studies on the effect of the magnetic field on plants, the exact mechanism of these effects has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of magnetic field on growth and photosynthetic characteristics of two almond species (Amygdalus scoparia and A. eburnea). For this purpose, 21-day-old almond plants were affected by 10 mT static magnetic fie...

The effects of Drought and salinity stress on the growth and chemical compositions pennyroyal(Mentha pulegium L.) plant were investigated. This experiment was carried out in a factorial-randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions and plantlets were subject to four soil moisture regimes (40, 60, 80 and 100 of field capacity (FC)) and five salt treatments with 0, 25...

A core-based forwarding multicast tree is a shortest path tree rooted at core node that distributes multicast packets to all group members via the tree after the packets are sent to the core. Traditionally, the bandwidth cost consumed by transmitting a packet from the core via the tree is evaluated by the total weights of all the edges. And, the cost is minimized by constructing the multicast t...

Background & Aim: Applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. In present study, the antioxidant potential of Morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (CUPRAC assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of Morus alba leaves. Martial & Method...

Although there has been significant reduction in the total number of maternal deaths worldwide, however, many developing countries like Nigeria have not been able to achieve MDG 5 by the end of 2015 [1]. This is buttressed by the fact that Nigeria and India recorded 58,000 (19%) and 45,000 (15%) maternal deaths respectively accounting for 34% of the total global maternal deaths [1]. Moreover, 5...

Many studies have evaluated trauma care in hospitals and systems using a "Preventable Death Rate" (PDR), consisting of the number of deaths judged preventable by some person or committee on the basis of autopsy or chart review divided by the total number of deaths during the same time period.1-3 This quantity may have some value if the denominator is understood to be a proxy for the total numbe...

The relation between the plate count and the direct microscopic count of bacteria is of practical as well as theoretical importance. Particularly during the logarithmic growth period, where the constant rates are used for comparative purposes, it is desirable to know whether the number of cells as determined by plating always bear a constant relation to those enumerated microscopically, that is...

Abstract. We study the statistics of column-convex lattice animals resulting from the stacking of squares on a single or double staircase. We obtain exact expressions for the number of animals with a given length and area, their mean length and their mean height. These objects are closely related to Fibonacci numbers. On a single staircase, the total number of animals with area k is given by th...
