In Malaysia, there is no research done on the tensile strength of structural size timber. The tension stress found in the Malaysian code of practice, MS 544: Part 2: 2001, was not determined directly and it was taken as 60% of the bending strength values of small clear specimens. This paper presents the results of the tensile test on structural size timber specimens from selected Malaysian Trop...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the cardiovascular effect of three extracts from the root bark of Anthocleista schweinfurthii Gilg.: an aqueous extract (AE), a dichloromethane extract (DCMR) and a fraction enriched in cardiac glycoside type compounds (CARDAN). In isolated perfused frog heart, bolus injection of the extracts produced a positive inotropic effect. The responses to ...
