The synthesis and crystal structure of thermochromic, yellow benzimidazolium tetrachlorocuprate(II), (C7H7N2)2CuCl4 (1), have been reported. The compound crystallizes in the C2/c space group and contains discrete tetrahedral CuCl4 2 species. It absorbs one molecule of water from humid atmosphere at room temperature to produce a hydrated green form, (C7H7N2)2CuCl4 /H2O, which upon heating loses ...

In Rigveda Soma is an evergreen plant, with thousand stalks yellow hued bestowing auspicious energy. Resembling yellow fibres of hemp ephedra was rained in Chlnoso Ho-Ma, Yellow-hemp. It was Sanskritized as Soma. Being an energizer-cum-euphoriant its juice was consumed thrice daily. Finally it became a drug of longevity, rejuvenation and resurrection even god Soma. As drug it was substituted by...

Effects of eugenol (AQUI-S 20E, 10% active eugenol) sedation on cool water, yellow perch Perca flavescens (Mitchill), and warm water, Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus L. fish metabolic rates were assessed. Both species were exposed to 0, 10, 20 and 30 mg L 1 eugenol using static respirometry. In 17°C water and loading densities of 60, 120 and 240 g L , yellow perch controls (0 mg L 1 eugenol)...

Remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) classification of coastal waters is a useful tool to monitor environmental processes and manage marine environmental resources. This study presents classification work for data sets that were collected in the Yellow Sea during six cruises (spring and autumn, 2003; summer and winter, 2006/2007; and spring and autumn, 2007). Specifically, we analyzed classificatio...

Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus Skuse mosquitoes transmit serious human arboviral diseases including yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. Females of the two species have adapted to undergo preimaginal development in natural or artificial collections of freshwater near human habitations and feed on human blood. While there is an effectiv...

Evapotranspiration is a central process of the hydrological cycle, and various water saving measures are based on it. However, there is little research work on evapotranspiration in the world. In particular, there is rare hydrological cycle-based research on the impact of channel lining on evapotranspiration in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper applies a hydrological cycle model to examine...

BATTALION, 11th REGIMENT, AT SUBATHOO, IN 1873. By Surgeon-Major J, Tulloch, M.D., in Medical Charge. The growing interest attached to enteric fever and its seemingly increasing prevalence among British soldiers in India have led me to offer for publication the following account of a mild outbreak which occurred at this IIill Station last year. The fever was, at the time, ascribed to the bad qu...

Yellow tea has been widely recognized for its health benefits. However, its effects and mechanism are largely unknown. The current study investigated the mechanism of dietary supplements of large yellow tea and its effects on metabolic syndrome and the hepatic steatosis in male db/db mice. Our data showed that dietary supplements of large yellow tea and water extract significantly reduced water...
