[1] New maps of kilometer-scale topographic roughness and concavity of the Moon reveal a very distinctive roughness signature of the proximal ejecta deposits of the Orientale basin (the Hevelius Formation). No other lunar impact basin, even the just-preceding Imbrium basin, is characterized by this type of signature although most have similar types of ejecta units and secondary crater structure...

This study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of Teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. The GC and GC–MS analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. The major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

INTRODUCTION Lignans and flavonoids are widely distributed phenolics in the plant kingdom. Aryltetralin type lignans (podophyllotoxin derivatives) as the major secondary metabolites of Linum species play an important role in the production of chemotherapy drugs. In the present study, lignans and flavonoid glycosides from aerial parts of Linum mucronatum subsp. orientale were isolated and identi...

Résumé H. S. Klein et S. L. Engerman — Frets et mortalité dans la traite négrière vers Rio de Janeiro, 1825-1830. Une analyse systématique des documents maritimes et commerciaux pour cette période permet d'établir non seulement les points d'origine des esclaves et leur importance numérique relative, mais encore la mortalité en cours de route. Par rapport à la situation à la fin du XVIIIe siècle...

[1] Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) image and spectral reflectance data are combined to analyze mare basalt units in and adjacent to the Orientale multiring impact basin. Models are assessed for the relationships between basin formation and mare basalt emplacement. Mare basalt emplacement on the western nearside limb began prior to the Orientale event as evidenced by the presence of cryptomaria. The...

Introduction: Many impact basins on the Moon are filled with extensive mare basalts [1]. This obscures a) the primary structure of fresh basin interiors, including the nature and distribution of impact melts, and b) the nature of the early stages of the filling of basins with mare basalts. In contrast, the interior of the Orientale basin, the youngest and most well-preserved large basin on the ...

Some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Teucrium polium (T. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. The T. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. Then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 - ...
