Guava leaves polyphenolics-rich extract inhibits vital enzymes implicated in gout and hypertension in vitro

BACKGROUND/AIM Elevated uric acid level, an index of gout resulting from the over-activity of xanthine oxidase (XO), increases the risk of developing hypertension. However, research has shown that plant-derived inhibitors of XO and angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE), two enzymes implicated in gout and hypertension, respectively, can prevent or ameliorate both diseases, without noticeable sid...

Clustering Species Accumulation Curves to Identify Skill Levels of Citizen Scientists Participating in the eBird Project

Although citizen science projects such as eBird can compile large volumes of data over broad spatial and temporal extents, the quality of this data is a concern due to differences in the skills of volunteers at identifying bird species. Species accumulation curves, which plot the number of unique species observed over time, are an effective way to quantify the skill level of an eBird participan...
