differentiation among populations of the iranian teucrium polium l.was analyzed on the basis of morphological and phytochemical variability, to evaluate the level and distribution of diversity among four distant populations from arid, semi-arid, and sub-humid regions of fars province. morphological analysis included 11 characters related to the plant, leaf, and stem morphology. analyses of vari...

background & aim: matricaria aure is one of medicinal plants belonging to asteraceae family. they naturally grow in some regions of the country and have different medical properties and various applications in medicine production and traditional medications. ecological conditions have a significant impact on growth, performance, and quality of medical plants. the aim of this research is to ...

background & aim: the essential oils are the most important secondary aromatic biochemical compounds in plants and even in some animals. they are of great importance because of their aromatic, flavoring and preventing properties from deterioration in food industries. according to ethnobotany study of aerial parts of bakhtiari celery or kelus (kelussia odoratissma  mozaffarian) in dairy such...

background & aim: drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. in this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. experimental: this study was done in an experimental greenhouse, i.a.u., shahrekord branch, iran at...

background & aim: the major aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the essential oils from five medicinal plants. experimental: the hydro-distillation essential oils from five plant species, including satureja bachtiarica, zataria multiflora, thymus daenensis, thymus carmanicus, and ziziphora tenuior (lamiaceae) which are endemic in iran. in-vitro antibacterial tes...

the achillea l. genus has a wide distributional range, and the differences in oil composition may be affected by different environmental factors such as soil mineral fertilization, the climate conditions and the culture site. to evaluate the effect of temperate climate on content and chemical combination of essential oil of achillea filipendulina lam,  a. arabica kotschy and a. eriophora dc., t...

the essential oils of leaves and flowers of peucedanum ruthenicum (m. bieb.) rochel (umbelliferae) were prepared by hydrodistillation separately and analyzed by gc and gc-ms, and the composition of both essential oils were compared together. sixteen and eleven compounds were identified in leaves and flowers essential oils representing 100% and 96.4% of total oils, respectively. the major compon...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemical composition of the essential oil of Artemisia vestita and to determine the antibacterial activity of the essential oil and its two major components, grandisol and 1,8‑cineole, against certain respiratory infection‑causing bacterial strains, in vitro and in vivo. The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed using gas chro...

We describe a method for searching the optimal hyper-parameters in reservoir computing, which consists of a Gaussian process with Bayesian optimization. It provides an alternative to other frequently used optimization methods such as grid, random, or manual search. In addition to a set of optimal hyper-parameters, the method also provides a probability distribution of the cost function as a fun...
