Bamboo culm is a renewable and lightweight material with high strength, particularly tensile strength. It well accepted that bamboo culms have played significant role in architecture because of their sustainable contribution. The characteristics properties three-year-old from five species (Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus sericeus, membranaceus, Thyrsostachys oliveri, Phyllostachys makinoi) w...

Streblus asper Lour is a small tree found in tropical countries, such as India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Various parts of this plant are used in Ayurveda and other folk medicines for the treatment of different ailments such as filariasis, leprosy, toothache, diarrhea, dysentery and cancer. Research carried out using different in vitro and in vivo techniques of biologic...

Different concentrations of the methanolic extractable portion of Strebulus asper were tested for antiparasitic activity and 20 mg / 100 ml of the drug solution was found to be most effective. The effect of methanol extract at different concentrations on tissues components like glycogen, total fat, total protein, RNA and DNA showed that the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of Setaria is affect...

BACKGROUND Viperid snakebite envenoming is characterized by prominent local tissue damage, including muscle necrosis. A frequent outcome of such local pathology is deficient skeletal muscle regeneration, which causes muscle dysfunction, muscle loss and fibrosis, thus provoking permanent sequelae that greatly affect the quality of life of patients. The causes of such poor regenerative outcome of...

Current elevated concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere, as they are observed during summer seasons, can cause severe effects on plant vegetation. This study was initiated to analyze whether ozone-stressed plants also transfer signals below ground and thereby alter the bacterial community composition in their rhizospheres. Herbaceous plants, native to Germany, with tolerance (Anthoxanthum od...

The genus Calotriton includes two species of newts highly adapted to live in cold and fast-flowing mountain springs. The Pyrenean brook newt (Calotriton asper), restricted to the Pyrenean region, and the Montseny brook newt (Calotriton arnoldi), endemic to the Montseny massif and one of the most endangered amphibian species in Europe. In the present manuscript, we use an integrative approach in...

The antiparasitic activity of certain indigenous plant extracts was tested against the model bovine filarial parasite Setaria digitata. Among the plants tested, the extracts of Strebulus asper was found to be most effective. The chloroform and other phase of the organic solvents showed most activity indicating that the active compound may be a non polar substance having low molecular weight.
