Context: Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent. (Moraceae), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, has been extensively applied for many years to treat various diseases. Its fruits (Fructus Broussonetiae) have been commonly used as an important tonic for the treatment of age-related disorders with long history; recent research has proved that it contains 32% to 35% fixed oils. The fixed oil is compo...

Broussonetia papyrifera leaves (BPL) as a traditional Chinese medicine are also used in livestock feed for stimulating reproduction, adipose tissue and muscle development; however, the mechanism of their action is still unknown. Through estrogen biosynthesis-guided fractionation in human ovarian granulosa-like KGN cells, five new phenolic glycosides, broussoside A-E(1-5), along with fifteen kno...

Broussonetia papyrifera L. (paper mulberry) is an alternative woody plant, which can used to replace part of the protein feed for ruminants. Ensiling effective way preserve fresh pasture and solve problem stable storage conversion paper mulberry in rapid growth period. However, low dry matter (DM), water-soluble carbohydrate, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) reduce quality silage. This study assesses...

Heterostructure engineering holds exceptional promise for the development of high-performance electrocatalysts overall water splitting. However, production inexpensive and high-efficiency bifunctional remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate simple method to synthesize paper-mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera)-in-spired Co9S8@CoNi2S4/nickel foam (Co9S8@CoNi2S4/NF) heterojunction with high cat...

White birch (Betula papyrifera) is an open pollinate species that is, dominant in the Northern Ontario after land reclamation. In fact, this species represents 65% of all trees in the region. We hypothesized that the exchange of genetic information between fragmented populations by range-wide paternal introgression is possible in wind-pollinated species such as B. papyrifera. On the other hand,...

A fundamental question in Computer Science is understanding when a specific class of problems go from being computationally easy to hard. Because of its generality and applications, the problem of Boolean Satisfiability (aka SAT) is often used as a vehicle for these studies. A signal result from these studies is that the hardness of SAT problems exhibits a dramatic easy-to-hard phase transition...

Of all testing levels, the unit level of testing has undergone the most recent and most dramatic change. With the introduction of new agile (aka, “lightweight”) development methods, such as XP (eXtreme Programming) came the idea of Test-Driven Development (TDD). TDD is a software development technique that melds program design, implementation and testing in a series micro-iterations that focus ...
