Background Tarragon is a spice herb with a long history of culinary and medical use. There exist two cultivars of this species: French Tarragon is used as a spice in cuisine and Russian Tarragon (RT) has been used medically in Russia and middle Asia, mainly to treat gastrointestinal disorders. However, recent studies also reported possible antidiabetic and hypoglycemic activities. Ribnickyet al...

Tarragon is an actor-based programming model and library for implementing latency tolerant asynchronous event driven simulations. It is novel in its support for meta data describing run time virtualized process structures, which may be optimized as a free-standing object. We demonstrate early results with a synthetic benchmark, and observe that Tarragon can mask communication costs with ongoing

Tarragon Consulting Corporation (henceforth Tarragon) contributed two runs to the new Common Core track. Both were manual runs using the NIST judged topics. Both used Solr as the base search engine with the queries semi-automatically constructed from the Topic descriptions and augmented with information from Wordnet and Wikipedia. Results are generally below the published median scores but for ...

OBJECTIVE Some evidence suggests that chronic uptake of estragole and methyl-eugenol, found in the essential oil of Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-carcinogenicity. The present study was conducted to investigate the immumodulatory and anti-inflammatory potentials of estragole and methyl-eugenol free extract of tarragon. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

Objective: Plant extracts are of considerable interest because of their antiepileptic activities. However, the mechanisms of action are not clearly defined. Materials and Methods: Here, the effects of Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) leaves extract on excitability and electrophysiological characteristics of snail neurones were investigated, using an intracellular recording technique. Results...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of Tarragon powder on performance and carcass’ characteristics of broiler chickens. 200 one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chickens in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replicates per treatment and 10 birds in each replicate were used. Experimental diets were set on the basis of corn-soy-wheat and Ross 30...

Two effective cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitors were isolated from tarragon, Artemisia dracunculus. Their structures were spectroscopically identified as 2E,4E-undeca-2,4-diene-8,10-diynoic acid isobutylamide (1) and 2E,4E-undeca-2,4-diene-8,10-diynoic acid piperidide (2). Both compounds had dose-dependent inhibitory effects on CYP3A4 activity with IC50 values of 10.0 ± 1.3 µM for compound 1 and...

Environmental and water pollution through heavy metals is a growing concern. The recycling of untreated wastewater, which is often contaminated with heavy metals, for agricultural applications is becoming more popular. However, information on the amount of absorption and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) at variable concentrations by different crops is limited. This study aims to analyze the impact ...

this study was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of tarragon powder on performance, carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. two hundred ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly allocated into four treatments and five replicates per treatment. at each replicate ten birds were used. experimental diets were set on the basis of corn-soy-wheat and ross 308 broiler chic...
