Progress in practical Bayesian optimization is hampered by the fact that the only available standard benchmarks are artificial test functions that are not representative of practical applications. To alleviate this problem, we introduce a library of benchmarks from the prominent application of hyperparameter optimization and use it to compare Spearmint, TPE, and SMAC, three recent Bayesian opti...

The preparation of flavored vegetable oils using spice and herb plants is considered to be an indispensable opportunity for the application these plants. In present exploration, sunflower oil (SFO) samples by Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) were prepared maceration method (MM) ultrasound-assisted (UM). antioxidant effects, sensory evaluation oxidative stability during accelerated storage; physico...

Agricultural hydrogels improve water retention in a variety of substrates. However, little is known about their impact on herb cultivation rooftop farming. To identify the optimal substrate and hydrogel concentration for growth flowering spearmint ( Mentha spicata ) gardens, coir perlite were mixed three different ratios 80% to 20% (v/v; referred as C 4 P 1 ), 50% (C or ). Hydrogels added into ...

Background: L-theanine (L-THE), a natural amino acid found in green tea, has been shown to improve anxiety and sleep. Neumentix proprietary spearmint extract (PSE), which is commonly beverage flavoring pharmaceutical, also wide range of health benefits, including cognitive performance improvement.

consumption of organic manures such as vermicompost and spent mushroom compost in a system based on organic agriculture beside to maintenance soil health improvement and yield of medicinal plant spearmint. therefore, an completely randomized design experiment with four replication on spearmint (mentha spicata l )was conducted in horticultural department of mohaghegh ardabili university. experim...

the equation of state soave-redlich-kwong (srk) and its modification (predictive srk or psrk) are applied to simulate multicomponet distillation, which separate main component of spearmint essential oil. the simulation model is based on bubble point method, and the wang-henke algorithm. spearmint essential oil is considered in the study and the original experimental data were obtained from pilo...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of spearmint leaves extract on body weight, liver weight and RTWI pups in Swiss albino mice. Study Design: Experimental study Place Duration Study: Anatomy Department, Shaikh Zayed PGMI, Lahore from 1st March 2014 to 30th June 2014. Methodology: Seven male 21 female mice were used. After conception divided into control (A), low dose (B) high (C) experimental g...

Many aromatic plants, such as spearmint, produce valuable essential oils in specialized structures called peltate glandular trichomes (PGTs). Understanding the regulatory mechanisms behind the production of these important secondary metabolites will help design new approaches to engineer them. Here, we identified a PGT-specific R2R3-MYB gene, MsMYB, from comparative RNA-Seq data of spearmint an...

In many aromatic plants including spearmint (Mentha spicata), the sites of secondary metabolite production are tiny specialized structures called peltate glandular trichomes (PGT). Having high commercial values, these secondary metabolites are exploited largely as flavours, fragrances and pharmaceuticals. But, knowledge about transcription factors (TFs) that regulate secondary metabolism in PGT...

HE major components of Mentha oils are a principal ketone, and its related alcohol and ester. Since these compounds account for 75-85 percent of the oil by weight, an elementary genetic understanding of their origin and relationship would seem important to any plant breeding work. In this paper, we wish to consider the genetic relationship between the ketone (menthone) and its related alcohol (...
