Aspergillus was found as a dominant fungi to associate with brands of bindis. Among three potencies of four homeopathic drugs, Lycopodium 1M, Sulphur 1M, and Sepia 30 showed maximum inhibition zone of Aspergillus niger in inhibition zone technique. In poison food technique, Sepia 30M, Tellurium 30M, Sulphur 1M and Lycopodium 200 showed maximum percentage inhibition against A. niger

Phoborhodopsin (pR; also called sensory rhodopsin II, sRII) is a receptor of negative phototaxis of Halobacterium salinarum, and pharaonis phoborhodopsin (ppR; also pharaonis sensory rhodopsin II, psRII) is a corresponding protein of Natronobacterium pharaonis. These receptors contain retinal as a chromophore which bind to a lysine residue via Schiff base. This Schiff base can be cleaved with h...

We propose a graphical language that enables the specification of assistance systems for a given application, by means of a set of rules. We implemented it through the SEPIA environment, mainly composed of an assistance editor aimed at assistance designers, and a generic assistance engine able to execute the specified assistance for the target-application end-users, without a need to modify thi...

Pharaonis phoborhodopsin (ppR; also pharaonis sensory rhodopsin II, psRII) is a receptor of the negative phototaxis of Natronobacterium pharaonis. By spectroscopic titration of D193N and D193E mutants, the pK(a) of the Schiff base was evaluated. Asp193 corresponds to Glu204 of bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The pK(a) of the Schiff base (SBH(+)) of D193N was approximately 10.1-10.0 (at XH(+)) and appro...

results the present study revealed that the sobt and sop extracts showed in vitro bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. furthermore, administration of sobt and sop increased the rats’ survival rates by 66.7% and 83.33%, respectively, as compared to the untreated clp-septic rats. treatment of the clp-septic rats with sobt and sop significantly alleviated alterat...

Halophilic archaea, such as Halobacterium salinarum and Natronobacterium pharaonis, alter their swimming behavior by phototaxis responses to changes in light intensity and color using visual pigment-like sensory rhodopsins (SRs). In N. pharaonis, SRII (NpSRII) mediates photorepellent responses through its transducer protein, NpHtrII. Here we report the expression of fusions of NpSRII and NpHtrI...

pharaonis phoborhodopsin (ppR; also pharaonis sensory rhodopsin II, psRII) is a receptor of the negative phototaxis of Natronobacterium pharaonis. In halobacterial membrane, ppR forms a complex with its transducer pHtrII, and this complex transmits the light signal to the sensory system in the cytoplasm. In the present work, the truncated transducer, t-Htr, was used which interacts with ppR [Su...

This study elucidates the nature of melanogenesis in B16 and Harding-Passey (HP) mouse melanomas producing melanin and melanosomes of different color and fine structure, i.e., brownblack eumelanosome-like B16 granules and reddish brown pheomelanosome-like HP granules, and compares them with "typical" 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and sepia eumelanins and sepia eumelanosomes. The melanin con...

Around the posterior pallial vessels in Sepia officinalis a ball-shaped structure has been found which is evidently an accessory organ of the circulatory system. It has also been observed in Loligo forbesi, but not in the two decapods examined, Eledone cirrhosa and Octopus vulgaris. The following description is based on the study of Sepia. In an account of the nerves supplying the accessory org...

SEPIA is an approach that infers state based models from existing proof corpora. These models can then be used for the development of new proofs. As with similar approaches, selecting the best facts to use in new proofs is challenging. We investigate the potential use of ML4PG as a relevance filter for our approach achieving a model only inferred from the lemma suggestions by ML4PG. These reduc...
