Southeastern Yunnan has 4,996 species and varieties of 1,357 genera and 186 families of native seed plants recorded. Floristic attributes and biogeographical affinities of the flora were studied by analyzing its floristic composition and geographical elements. Tropical genera comprise a majority (68.83%) of the flora and those of tropical Asian distribution contribute to 27.34% of the total gen...

An assessment study of the plant diversity in campus Prananath College (Autonomous), Khordha was carried out during 2019-20 and a checklist prepared. A total 241 vascular species belonging to 72 different families were recorded including four Gymnosperms. Among families, Fabaceae, Apocynaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae, Lamiaceae Poaceae dominating plants area. Aquatic plants, medicinal ornament...

The importance of adequate biological assessments rivers based on aquatic assemblages is essential to establish recovery measures. Macrophyte and macroinvertebrate communities react differently in time response strength diverse stressors. Our hypothesis was that each group a result specific combined abiotic factors stressor’s impact. To address the above, both quality elements (BQEs) values eco...

The flora of Xishuangbanna in southern Yunnan, southwestern China, consists of 3340 native seed plant species belonging to 1176 genera and 182 families. Tropical floristic elements at the generic level form a major contribution (78.3%) to the total flora of southern Yunnan, of which the dominant geographic elements are those of tropical Asian distribution. The tropical Asian flora of Xishuangba...

INTRODUCTION The normal flora can be divided into two groups Resident flora and Transient. Some organisms are almost always present in a normal oral cavity and constitute constant/normal microbial flora. It is further divided into two types: indigenous & supplemental. Comprise of those species that are almost always present in high numbers (> 1%) in a particular site, such as the supra gingival...

The southern and tropical southeastern regions of the Yunnan Province in southwestern China have similar monsoonal climates and lowland tropical rain forest vegetations. The floras of both regions are dominated by tropical floristic elements (78.3% in southern Yunnan and 68.83% in southeastern Yunnan), and both belong to the Indo-Malaysian flora at the northern margin of tropical Asia. However,...

BACKGROUND To evaluate associations between alterations in vaginal flora and clinical symptoms in low-risk pregnant women. METHODS Vaginal specimens from 245 pregnant women were analyzed by microscopy for vaginal flora. Signs and symptoms of vaginal infection were determined by patient interviews and gynecologic examinations. RESULTS Abnormal vaginal flora was identified in 45.7% of the sub...

Numerous freshwater ecosystems, dense concentrations of humans along the eastern seaboard, extensive forests and a history of intensive land use distinguish the New England/Mid-Atlantic Region. Human population densities are forecast to increase in portions of the region at the same time that climate is expected to be changing. Consequently, the effects of humans and climatic change are likely ...

The development of the intestinal flora in newborn infants starts during birth when the aseptic gastrointestinal tract of the fetus is inoculated by bacteria from the mother’s intestinal and vaginal flora. This leads to a diverse flora comprising Bifidobacteria, Clostridia, and gram positive Cocci (Heine et al., 1998). After this first inoculation, the flora changes rapidly, presumably under th...

Marine and land plastic debris biodegrades at micro- nanoscales through progressive fragmentation. Oceanographic model studies confirm the presence of up to ?2.41 million tons microplastics across Atlantic, Pacific, Indian subtropical gyres. Microplastics distribute from primary (e.g., exfoliating cleansers) secondary chemical deterioration) sources in environment. This anthropogenic phenomenon...
