This paper outlines key design principles of Scilla—an intermediatelevel language for verified smart contracts. Scilla provides a clean separation between the communication aspect of smart contracts on a blockchain, allowing for the rich interaction patterns, and a programming component, which enjoys principled semantics and is amenable to formal verification. Scilla is not meant to be a high-l...

Feulgen bands can be obtained at the sites of constitutive heterochromatin in the chromosomes of Anemone blanda, Fritillaria lanceolata and Scilla siberica, simply by means of a short or extended acid hydrolysis. Extended hydrolysis gives positive bands in A. blanda and F. lanceolata and negative bands in S. siberica. Short hydrolysis gives no bands in A. blanda and S. siberica but gives negati...

Scilla vardaria Yıldırım & Gemici (Asparagaceae) is described as a new species. Diagnostic morphological characters, a full description and detailed illustrations are provided on the basis of the type specimen and observations of wild populations. The new species is characterized by the conical floral corona structure formed by fusion of its filaments, with anthers arising almost at the floral ...

Abstract Superconducting circuits have emerged as a promising platform to build quantum processors. The challenge of designing circuit is compromise between realizing set performance metrics and reducing complexity noise sensitivity. At the same time, one needs explore large design space, computational approaches often yield long simulation times. Here, we automate task using SCILLA. software S...

The morphology and phylogeny of anther smut specimens on Tractema verna collected in the United Kingdom were investigated using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and partial rDNA sequence analyses. The anther smut of Tractema verna shows similarity to Antherospora eucomis, A. scillae, A. tourneuxii, A. urgineae, A. vaillantii, and A. vindobonensis but differs in spore size range, s...

Administration of sodium [1,2-14C2]oxaloacetate and sodium [1-14C]acetate to Scilla maritima plants yielded labelled scillirosid. A systematic degradation of scillirosid indicated that the alpha-pyrone ring of the bufadienolide is formed by the condensation of a pregnane derivative (derived from mevalonic acid via squalene) and one molecule of oxaloacetic acid.

Two new norlanostane-type triterpenoid glycosides and a new phenylpropanoid glycoside were isolated from the bulbs of Scilla scilloides DRUCE (Liliaceae), along with two known alkaloids. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as chemical evidence.

Bu çalışma Trabzon ilinin Tonya ilçesine bağlı yaklaşık 1300m rakıma sahip Kadıralak yaylasında yetişen Orman sümbülü (Scilla bifolia L) bitkisinin farklı kısımlarının (skapus, yaprak, çiçek, bulb) antioksidan aktivitesini belirlemek için yapılmıştır. Bitki aktiviteleri 2,2-difenil-1-pikrihidrazil (DPPH) radikali süpürücü aktivitesi ve troloks eşdeğeri kapasitesi (TEAK) yöntemleri kullanılarak ...
