background: celiac sprue (gluten sensitive enteropathy) is an autoimmune disease which is hereditary and its pathology mainly bases on immunologic intolerance to gluten. it has a vast variety of signs and symptoms and its clinical features range from a silent disease to a typical gastrointestinal disorder. in this study we reviewed and summarized some other related issues about this disease and...

Abstract Island populations may have a higher extinction risk due to reduced genetic diversity and need be managed effectively in order reduce the of biodiversity loss. The Eurasian red squirrels ( Sciurus vulgaris ) south England only survive on three islands (the Isle Wight, Brownsea Furzey islands), with Wight harbouring largest population region. Fourteen microsatellites were used determine...

Antibacterial activity of cold water and ethanolic crude extracts of leaves of Strophanthus wightianus Wall. ex Wight was evaluated against Gram negative bacteria(Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes) and Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Bacillus subtilis). ...

Commiphora caudata (Wight & Arn) is a potential medicinal plant used for its antispasmodic activity, cytotoxic activity and hypothermic activity. Owing to its medicinal importance, macroscopic and microscopic characters of leaves of Commiphora caudata were studied.

Eight wild plant species namely Tragia involucrata L., Cleistanthus collinus (Roxb.)Benth. Ex Hook.f., Sphaeranthus indicus L., Vicoa indica (L.) Dc., Allmania nodiflora (L.) R.Br. ex wight., Habenaria elliptica Wight., Eriocaulon thwaitesii Koern. and Evolvulus alsinoides L. were used for phytochemical extraction with four different solvents. Antibacterial activity of these plants was studied ...

Animal studies have demsonated antiasthmatic, anti-allergic, cytotoxic, hepatoprotective and immunomodulator activites of T.asthmatica. Secera clinical trials hev eebn carried out in case of bronchial asthma; however, design of most of these studies is convoluted. The monograph analyses chemistry, pharmacology a...

This paper presents a Particle Swarm Optimization with Improved Inertia Wight (PSO-IIW) for Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problem. The proposed PSO-IIW technique, which is a population based global search and optimization technique, has been developed to solve the CHPED problem. The CHPED problem is formulated as an optimization problem which is solved by the PSO-IIW techniq...

A single brachiosaurid sauropod cervical vertebra from the Wessex Formation (Barremian, Early Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight is remarkable for its size. With a partial centrum length (i.e., excluding evidence of the anterior condyle) of 745 mm it represents the largest sauropod cervical reported from Europe and is close in size to cervical vertebrae of the giant brachiosaurid Brachiosaurus br...
