Context: The essential oils are being tried as potential candidates for pest and disease management. Several essential oils of botanical origin have been reported for their repellant, toxic and developmental inhibitory activities. The ovicidal effect of essential oil is probably the major factor in the suppression of the development of adults from treated eggs. Objectives: To investigate the ov...

Abstract. Land–atmosphere carbon and water exchanges have large uncertainty in terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). Using observations to reduce TBM structural parametric errors is a critical priority for both understanding accurately predicting fluxes. Recent implementations of the Bayesian CARbon DAta–MOdel fraMework (CARDAMOM) yielded key insights into ecosystem cycling. CARDAMOM estimates p...

abstract aims: spices are sources of many bioactive compounds that can improve the taste of food as well as affecting the digestion and metabolism. along with that, they may also contain some substances as heavy metals, which have harmful effects on the body. the aim of present study was to assess the potential health risk of cr, cu, fe and zn contents of cardamom, curry powder and turmeric in ...

We examined three ecological factors potentially causing premating reproductive isolation to determine whether divergent selection as a result of coevolution between South Hills crossbills (Loxia curvirostra complex) and Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta latifolia) promotes ecological speciation. One factor was habitat isolation arising because of enhanced seed defenses of lodgepole...

In this paper we study the class of generalized Motzkin paths with no hills and prove some of their combinatorial properties in a bijective way; as a particular case we have the Fine numbers, enumerating Dyck paths with no hills. Using the ECO method, we define a recursive construction for Dyck paths such that the number of local expansions performed on each path depends on the number of its hi...
