The title and subtitle of Iwan Rhys Morus' book indicate a divided loyalty. In making good the subtitle, he offers solid accounts of institutions and activities neglected by the few remaining historians of science who confine their business to an internalist chronicle of advances in high theory and fundamental experiment. Faithful to the usual canons of evidence and argumentation, Morus discuss...

Five new 2-arylbenzofuran derivatives wittifurans A-C, F and G (1-5) have been isolated from the stem bark of Morus wittiorum. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1, 3-5 were evaluated for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities respectively.

Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) is an important tool to screen out plants, based on their tolerance or sensitivity level to different air pollutants. The present study has been conducted to evaluate APTI of four different plant species around polluted and unpolluted industrial site in Sfax, Tunisia. In order to determine the susceptibility level of the selected plant species, it has used f...

In this study, Cercospora sp.on Olea europaea and Pseudocercospora mori on Morus alba are being recorded from Iran. Moreover, new reports were provided for Cercospora apii s.l. (including C. canescens,C. citrullina, C. morina, C. sonchi, C. cruciferarumand C. helianthicola), and Pseudocercospora rubi. Also, Helianthus sp., Morus alba,Raphanus sp. and Taraxacum sp. are reported as new hosts forC...

This study was designed to evaluate the neuro-ameliorative effect of red (Morus rubra) and white berry (Morus alba) extracts against Alzheimer ́s disease (AD) in male rats. AlCl3 was administered orally to male albino rats (100 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks) while, berry extracts (300 mg/kg/day for six weeks) was administered orally post AlCl3 administration. The data showed markedly elevation in lipid ...

BACKGROUND Many changes can occur in proteins, including amino acid modification, fragmentation, changes in absorption and fluorescence spectra and others. All these modifications can be used as markers of protein damage by free radicals. AIM OF THE WORK The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of the aqueous extracts of dry green of pods Phaseolus vulgaris, ...
