Hamiltonia suaveolens, Sphaeranthus indicus and Ziziphus jujuba Mill are one of the most important traditional medicinal plants. The primary indigenous use of these plants appears to be of the leaves, flowers and root as a topical treatment for wound healing. The Methanol extract of leaves, flower and root of these plants were used to evaluate the wound-healing activity in rats, using excision ...

Numerical approaches to high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data are often employed independently to address individual questions. We linked independent approaches in a bioinformatics pipeline for further insight. The pipeline driven by heterozygosity and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analyses was applied to characterize Bos taurus and Bos indicus ancestry. We infer a gene co-h...

The present experiments were conducted to determine 1) the relationship between shear force and overall tenderness of 10 major beef muscles, 2) the effect of Bos indicus inheritance on the tenderness of various beef muscles, 3) whether differences in tenderness between genotype are affected by method of cookery, and 4) the relationship between tenderness of the longissimus and tenderness of oth...

Remote triggered black hole filtering describes a method of mitigating the effects of denial-of-service attacks by selectively discarding traffic based on source or destination address. Remote triggered black hole routing describes a method of selectively rerouting traffic into a sinkhole router (for further analysis) based on destination address. This document updates the "IPv6 Special Purpose...

Suckled Bos indicus  Bos taurus cows were used to compare a Select Synch/CIDR + timed artificial insemination (AI) protocol (SSC) vs a modified Co-Synch/CIDR protocol (COS). Five groups of suckled Bos indicus  Bos taurus cows were evaluated (n=659). Cows received GnRH and a CIDR on d 0. On d 7, SSC cows had their CIDR removed and received prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), whereas COS cows had their ...

The Japanese Dryinidae were studied and 11 species recognized. The following 10 species were recorded for the first time from Japan: Thaumatodryinus alienus Olmi, Dryinus bellicus Olmi, D. chenae Xu, Olmi & He, D. browni Ashmead, D. expolitus Xu, Olmi & He, D. indicus (Kieffer), D. krombeini Ponomarenko, D. pyrillae (Kieffer), D. pyrillivorus Olmi, and D. sinicus Olmi. Pseudodryinus shihoae, ne...
