We consider an economy where a lender nances his loans to borrowers by issuing a securitized product to an investor and where the credit quality of the product may depend on whether the lender screens the borrowers. In the presence of asymmetric information between the lender and the investor about the credit quality of potential borrowers, overvaluation of the low quality securitized product m...

Five species of Caudinidae occur in New Zealandwaters. Two new species are described: Paracaudina alta sp. nov.; Paracaudina reductia sp. nov. Two species reported previously are discussed: Paracaudina chilensis (Müller) and Paracaudina coriacea (Hutton). A lectotype has been established for P. coriacea (Hutton). Hedingia albicans var. glabra (Théel) is raised out of synonymy with Hedingia albi...

DINUROTHRIPS HOOKERI HOOD (THYSANOPTERA: THRIPIDAE: PANCHAETOTHRIPINAE): UN NUEVO RÉCORD PARA CUCUMIS SATIVUS EN PUERTO RICO

Effect of Coating Agents Silver Nanoparticles on Their Accumulation in and Growth Radish (Raphanus sativus )

Presently there is an increase in the use of chemicals for cultivation plants. This has affected general health consumers. The aim this current study to assess germination, growth and yield Cucumis sativus using homoeopathic Biochemic medicines Calcarea phosphoricum 3X, sulphurica 3X Silicea 3X. Total 40 samples were used, dividing them into 4 groups 10 each randomly. intervention Placebo, admi...

Saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, is got by Crocus sativus L. stigmas. The production of this substance has attracted human interest, since ancient cultures, for its medicinal and culinary properties. Because of saffron high economic value, sometimes, since Middle Ages, it is adulterated with other vegetal materials, dyes or synthetic molecules. Object of this work was the study o...

Neurolathyrism is past history in India since Lathyrus sativus (khesari dal) is no longer used as a staple. A consensus has evolved that khesari dal is harmless as part of a normal diet. L-ODAP (β-N-oxalyl-l-α-diamino propionic acid) the neurotoxic amino acid, from this pulse, is detoxified in humans but not in animals but still no laboratory animal is susceptible to it under acceptable feeding...

Raphanus sativus L. ‘Radish’ locally known as Fijl, is a Brassicaceous plant of cabbage family which has been reputed for its benefic medicinal properties. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the freshly squeezed Radish juice (FRJ) for its anti-gastric ulcer activity in experimental models, besides preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening. Oral administration of FRJ in doses of ...

Spot blotch caused by the hemibiotrophic pathogen Cochliobolus sativus has been the major yield-reducing factor for barley production during the last decade. Monitoring transcriptional reorganization triggered in response to this fungus is an essential first step for the functional analysis of genes involved in the process. To characterize the defense responses initiated by barley resistant and...

Methods: Aqueous extract (AqRS) and fresh juice (FreRS) of Raphanus sativus L. were prepared and evaluated by preliminary phytochemical test. Laxative action of the extract at a dose of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg (p.o) was evaluated using wistar albino rats, weighing 200-300 g, in different experimental model such as loperamide induced constipation, laxative activity test, gastrointestinal motility...
