Abnormal thrombosis plays an important role in development of ischemic heart disease and stroke. Synthetic thrombolytic agents are effective but possess some adverse effects. Therefore, the need for comparatively safer anti-thrombotic drugs from natural resources such as plants arises. Capparis decidua Edgew. (Family – Capparaceae) is a densely branched, xerophytic shrub grows abundantly arid s...

Egypt’s Eastern Desert, located between the Nile and Red Sea, is one of most arid regions world, where organic remains are particularly well-preserved. Archaeobotanical, archaeoentomological textual data from excavation gold mining site in Samut North, occupied at beginning Ptolemaic period (late 4th c.

BACKGROUND The relative ease of movement of physicians across the Canada/US border has led to what is sometimes referred to as a 'brain drain' and previous analysis estimated that the equivalent of two graduating classes from Canadian medical schools were leaving to practice in the US each year. Both countries fill gaps in physician supply with international medical graduates (IMGs) so the move...

Crop diversification is a promising strategy to mitigate climate change through soil carbon sequestration while ensuring fertility maintenance and food security. Here, we assess the impact of different inter-cropping practices on organic (SOC) nitrogen (N) storage stabilization under rainfed irrigated semiarid conditions. Under conditions, an almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.) monocrop was compared w...

background cyclophosphamide (cp) is one of the most popular alkylating anticancer drugs despite its toxic side effects, including nephrotoxicity, hematotoxicity, mutagenicity, and immunotoxicity. capparis spinosa is a multipurpose plant that contains a number of chemically active and diverse secondary metabolites, particularly flavonoids. rutin and quercetin are two major flavonoids in the cape...

Few database query optimizer models have been validated against actual performance. This paper extends an earlier optimizer validation and performance evaluation of R’ to di.rfribu& queries, i.e. single SQL statements having tables at multiple sites. Actual R* message, I/O, and CPU resources consumed and the corresponding costs estimated by the optimizer were written to database tables using ne...
