Abstract. In this paper, we define the notion of C*-affine maps in the unital *-rings and we investigate the C*-extreme points of the graph and epigraph of such maps. We show that for a C*-convex map f on a unital *-ring R satisfying the positive square root axiom with an additional condition, the graph of f is a C*-face of the epigraph of f. Moreover, we prove som...

Introduction: Epidemiological studies suggest that dietary limonoids and phytosterols offer protection from some types of cancers (1). In the present study, cancer preventive components from sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) were isolated and identified for the first time. Isolated compounds were tested for the inhibition of human colon cancer cells (HT-29) proliferation, apoptosis. Methods: So...

The actinobacterium Streptomyces wadayamensis A23 is an endophyte of Citrus reticulata that produces the antimycin and mannopeptimycin antibiotics, among others. The strain has the capability to inhibit Xylella fastidiosa growth. The draft genome of S. wadayamensis A23 has ~7.0 Mb and 6,006 protein-coding sequences, with a 73.5% G+C content.

The reproductive response on the fecundity of ornamental fish guppy (Poecilia reticulata) indicates that the 0.01% concentration of natrum muriaticum 30 c potency is more significant than other concentrations. It was suggested that 0.01% concentration enhance the fecundity and increase the production of guppy.
