The antibacterial activity of plant extracts obtained from Bixa orellana L., Chamomilla recutita L., Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil., Malva sylvestris L., Plantago major L. and Rheum rhaponticum L. has been evaluated against two reference strains and eleven clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori. All the plant species chosen are used in popular Brazilian cuisine and folk medicine in the treat...

The present work was designed to search the possible antibacterial effect of ethanolic extract pollens from six botanical origins, Punica granatum, Quercus ilex, Centaurium erythraea, Coriandrum sativum, Ruta graveolens, and Citrus aurantium, against multidrug pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Sta...

We introduce Naturalowl, an open-source multilingual natural language generator that produces descriptions of instances and classes, starting from a linguistically annotated ontology. The generator is heavily based on ideas from ilex and m-piro, but it is in many ways simpler and it provides full support for owl dl ontologies with rdf linguistic annotations. Naturalowl is written in Java, and i...

Generating text in a hypermedia environment places different demands on a text generation system than occurs in non-interactive environments. This paper describes some of these demands, then shows how the architecture of one text generation system, ILEX, has been shaped by them. The architecture is described in terms of the levels of linguistic representation used, and the processes which map b...

Ilex x wandoensis and M. Kim hybrid nov. (IW) is a new variety formed through the natural hybridization of Ilex. cornuta Thunb Iles. integra Thunb. It was first discovered on Wando Island, Korea. IW has not been studied to date; we investigated industrial application potential leaf for time. We prepared hot water solvent extracts tested biological activity. extract confirmed have antioxidant an...

To evaluate the effect of vegetation change on greenhouse gas (GHG) budget from a wetland ecosystem, CO2, CH4 and N2O budgets whole area (21.5 ha) Bibai Wetland, where dwarf bamboo (Sasa) or Ilex has invaded into original Sphagnum dominated vegetation, located in Hokkaido, Japan were estimated. The Sphagnum-dominated was changed sink to source CO2 by invasion short-Sasa (50 cm > height), whi...
