The phytochemical investigation of the dichloromethane-soluble part of the methanol extract obtained from the fruits of Melia azedarach afforded one new tirucallane-type triterpene, 3-alpha-tigloylmelianol and three known tirucallanes, melianone, 21-beta-acetoxy-melianone, and methyl kulonate. The structure of the isolated compounds was mainly determined by 1D and 2D NMR experiments as well as ...

This study evaluates the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide extracts obtained from the fruit of Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) on the development of Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith, 1797 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), from the larval period until the insect adulthood. For this purpose, a laboratory-scale extraction unit was operated at 60 °C and 200 bar. Larval mortality increased by raising t...

background & aim: tetranychus urticae koch is one of the most important pests of crops, ornamental and greenhouse plants in the world and, can damage to 900 plant species. resistances to pesticides and acaricides have guided researches to introduce new methods to control t. urticae. botanical pesticides are an important group of natural productions that are usually safer than conventional p...

The BRST cohomology analysis of Lian and Zuckerman leads to physical states at all ghost number for c < 1 matter coupled to Liouville gravity. We show how these states are related to states at ghost numbers zero(pure vertex operator states – DK states) and ghost number one(ring elements) by means of descent equations. These descent equations follow from the double cohomology of the String BRST ...

Since 1995 the school education sector has been a dominant focus for education for sustainabi li ty (EfS) in Austra lia (Tilbury, Coleman, & Garlick, 2005, p. 1). The commencement of the Austra lian Susta inable Schools In it iative (AuSSI) in 2003, with its whole school approach, dramatically increased this focus (Department of Education and Training, 2005b). The pilot for the Western Australi...

In this work, a low-cost activated carbon as well as non-hazardous material, with high adsorption capacity, was prepared from Melia azedarach fruit (MF) by ZnCl2 activation for the removal of Pb(II) toxic metal from aqueous solutions. The microstructure of the activated carbon was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments have been performed as a function of pH, contact ...
