Suspected phytoplasma symptoms of little leaf, yellowing, chlorosis, phyllody, witches' broom, and stunting were observed on ten different ornamental plant species at New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Bengaluru, and Pune, India, during March to July 2016. To investigate the possibility of phytoplasma etiology, PCR assays were performed using universal primer pairs (P1/P7 followed by 3Far/3Rev...

Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin signaling and action are impaired in insulin sensitive tissues and results in hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our previous studies have shown that rosa damascena has antihyperglycemic effects on diabetic and normal rats. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of this medicinal plant on insulin sensiti...

CP2K is a freely available and increasingly popular Density Functional Theory code for the simulation of a wide range of systems. It is heavily used on many Cray XT systems, including ‘HECToR’ in the UK and ‘Monte Rosa’ in Switzerland. We describe performance optimisations made to the code in several key areas, including 3D Fourier Transforms, and present the implementation of a load balancing ...

This experiment treated perilla seeds with different concentrations of NaCl solution to enrich and purify their rosmarinic acid (RosA). The results showed that low salt (0-20 mmol/L) promoted seed germination, while high (> 20 inhibited germination. When the concentration was mmol/L, germination rate highest. content RosA in germinated 3.5 mg/g, which times as much without purified using NK-109...

Ben Neill will demonstrate the mutantrumpet, a hybrid electroacoustic instrument. The capabilities of the mutantrumpet are designed to erase the boundaries between acoustic and electronic musical creation and performance. It is both an expanded acoustic instrument and an electronic controller capable of interacting with audio and video simultaneously. The demonstration will explore the multi-fa...

Hydrosols are hydrodistillation products of aromatic plants. They contain less than 1g/L of dispersed essential oils giving organoleptic properties. Hydrosols are subjected to microbial proliferation. Reasons for spoilage have to be found in the nature of substrates supporting growth and of microbiological contaminants. The composition in essential oils and the microbiota of 22 hydrosol samples...
