This paper reviews the pharmacology of Indian medicinal plants, starting with the historical background of European work on the subject beginning as early as the 17th century, and tracing its history through the work of Sen and Bose in the 1930's, and Vakhil's historic 1949 paper on Sarpaghanda. The often crucial role of patient feedback in early discoveries is highlighted, as is the time lag b...

Abstract This chapter explores the potential importance of local housing market regulation in determining homelessness in the U.S. I begin with a theoretical discussion of the connection betwe...

In this study, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles by Penicillium chrysogenum, isolated from Ahar copper mine, was investigated. The gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the aqueous gold ions using the culture supernatant of the filamentous fungi. The UV–vis spectrum displayed a characteristic peak at 532 nm that is very specific for gold nanoparticles. The XRD spectrum confirmed ...

regional impact studies of the future climate change effects are necessary because projected changes in meteorological variables differ from one region to another, and different climate systems can react in varied ways to the same changes. in this study, the effects of climate change on bioclimatic deficiency were compared in two cultivation methods (irrigated and rainfed) in a semi-arid region...

The Sungun Cu-Mo porphyry deposit forms part of the Ahar–Arasbaran Magmatic Belt (AAMB). Its host Miocene stock is quartz monzonitic in composition and cut by intermediate dykes that post-date mineralization. These contain pyroxene enclaves ambiguous origin. Dykes microdiorite are observed within diorite dykes, whereas later three different kinds (diorite, hornfels) sizes between 1 10 cm. Encla...
