In this paper, we present HYSSOP, a system that generates natural language hypertext summaries of insights resulting from a knowledge discovery process. We discuss the synergy between the two technologies underlying HYSSOP: Natural Language Generation (NLG) and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). We first highlight the advantages of natural language hypertext as a summarization medium for K...

Common hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) is widely used as an aromatic and medicinal plant. In the component composition of essential oil from above-ground mass H. f. cyaneus, collection Nikita Botanical Garden, bicyclic monoterpene ketones isopinocamphone (50.99–64.41%) pinocamphone (3.95–18.88%) predominate, which allows us to attribute this form chemotype for use in pharmacology. An sample wi...

To find a new and safe alternative to conventional insecticides, we evaluated the fumigant toxicity of eight Lamiaceae essential oils and their constituents against the adult rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae. Of the eight species tested, hyssop (Hyssopus offcinalis), majoram (Origanum majorana), and Thymus zygis essential oils showed strong fumigant toxicity against S. oryzae adults at 25 mg/L air...
