BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitroxin biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer on the growth, yield, and essential oil composition of dill. The experiment was conducted under field condition in randomized complete block design with three replications and two factors. RESULTS The first factor was the concentrations of nitroxin biofertilizer (0%, 50%, and 100%) o...

Anethum graveolens L. is a member of the Apiaceae family and more commonly known as dill. Dill has been used for gastrointestinal ailments such as flatulence, indigestion, stomach ache and colic. It has therapeutic effects such as mucosal protective, antisecretory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antihypercholesterolaemic and antihyperlipidaemic. The aim of our study was to examine the effects of...

We study a simple heteropolymer model containing sequence-independent local interactions on both square and triangular lattices. Sticking to a two-letter code, we investigate the model for varying strength of the local interactions; = 0 corresponds to the well-known HP model K.F. Lau and K.A. Dill, Macromolecules 22, 3986 (1989)]. By exhaustive enumerations for short chains, we obtain all struc...

The aim of this study was to assess the antiglycation and antioxidant properties of aqueous extract of Anethum graveolens (dill). In the in vivo and in vitro experiments, antioxidant properties, blood glucose, and AGEs formation were determined. Dill extract was given orally to healthy and diabetic rats. Our results illustrated that different concentrations of dill extract (0.125, 0.25, 0.5, an...

We study the conformational properties of heteropolymers containing two types of monomers A and B, modeled as self-attracting self-avoiding random walks on a regular lattice. Such a model can describe in particular the sequences of hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues in proteins [K. F. Lau and K. A. Dill, Macromolecules 22, 3986 (1989)] and polyampholytes with oppositely charged groups [Y. Kan...

In neurophysiological experiments, neurmal discharges are often recorded from several units simultaneously with the use of a single micro-electrode. Since it is sometimes desirable to separate the recorded spike potentials with regard to their sources, a number of different types of devices has been designed for that purpose. The apparatus described by Bradley e t al. (1) was provided for selec...
