We refine the techniques of our previous paper [KM1] to prove that the average order of vanishing of L-functions of primitive automorphic forms of weight 2 and prime level q satisfies ∑ f∈S2(q)∗ ords= 1 2 L(f, s) ≤ C|S2(q) ∗| with C = 6.5, for all q large enough. On the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, this implies rank J0(q) ≤ C dim J0(q) for q prime large enough.

"777 oil" is a code drug of the Siddha system of medicine used in the treatment of Psoriasis. The drug is derived from the leaves Wrightia tinctoria by insolation, with coconut oil as base. The present study is aimed at comparing the drug prepared by insolation with that prepared in darkness.Analytical studies carried out in both the drugs showed difference in acid number without exposing to su...

The causative agents of skin infection are bacteria, fungi and in specific dermatophytes. Many infectious diseases have been treated with plant extracts. The free and bound flavonoids fractions of Wrightia tinctoria (Roxb) R.Br. (Apocynaceae), leaves were tested against 10 bacterial, 3 fungal and 4 dermatophytic strains affecting the skin using disc diffusion and broth micro dilution method. Th...

An experiment was carried out to know the effect of shoot clipping on floral morphology and seed yield in two Indigofera spp. viz. I. tinctoria L. and I. suffruticosa Mill. All parts of shoot including the main stem were clipped at 60 cm height from the base at 120 days after sowing (DAS). At 120 DAS, I. tinctoria already exhibited 1 flowering while I. suffruticosa showed no flowering. Shoot cl...

Chronic myelagenous leukemia (CML) is a slowly progressive disease characterized by the overproduction of granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils). A blood smear shows moderate elevations in white blood cell counts that may persist for years and be benign. Platelets are increased in number although their function is impaired, resulting in symptoms of easy bleeding (purpura, swollen...

Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroid, terpenoid, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and cardie glycoside distribution in five medicinal plants belonging to different families were assessed and compared. The medicinal plants investigated were Asteracantha longifolia (L.) Nees, Psassiflora edulis Sims, Berberis tinctoria Lesch, Sphaeranthus indicus Linn, and Solanum trilobatum Linn. All the plants w...

objective(s) indigofera tinctoria linn. of fabaceae family is claimed to be useful to control epileptic seizures in the indian system of folkore medicine. this study was designed to evaluate i. tinctoria and to verify the claim. materials and methods seizures were induced in male albino rats with pentylenetetrazole (ptz). the test group animals were administered ethanolic extract of indigofera ...
