BACKGROUND An ethnobotanical survey was conducted on the Caribbean island of Trinidad to identify medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of medical conditions. METHODS A pilot survey was conducted to identify the top ten most common ailments where medicinal plants were used. The results of the foregoing study guided a wider national survey conducted between ...

The phloem provides a network of sieve tubes for long-distance translocation of photosynthates. For over a century, structural proteins in sieve tubes have presented a conundrum since they presumably increase the hydraulic resistance of the tubes while no potential function other than sieve tube or wound sealing in the case of injury has been suggested. Here we summarize and critically evaluate...

[1] Aided by submarine observations of ice thickness for model evaluation, we investigate the effects of assimilating buoy motion data and satellite SSM/I (85 Ghz) ice motion data on simulation of Arctic sea ice. The sea-ice model is a thickness and enthalpy distribution model and is coupled to an ocean model. Ice motion data are assimilated by means of optimal interpolation. Assimilating motio...

In Nitella the protoplasm forms a layer about 15 microns thick surrounding a large central vacuole. The outer part of the protoplasm is a gel, the inner layer is a sol which is in continual motion travelling the entire length of the cell in opposite directions on opposite sides and thus making a complete circuit (cyclosis). If we have a cell devoid of motion and if we regard the protoplasm in a...

Technology in the workplace is widespread in order for an organization to conduct business operations routinely. Technology allows the end user to experience work overload by taking on many projects and work stoppage from misconfigured computers, outdated devices, and network outages. Work overload (techno-overload) and stoppage because of technology has spurned a new terminology from work rela...

A temporary and/or involuntary stoppage of movement is identifiable in the execution phase of writing, walking, and turning movements in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and may be referred to as freezing. However, the unpredictability of such akinetic impairments has made it difficult to study experimentally. The present study compared PD and age-matched control groups in their abilit...
