Celtis australis is an important agroforestry tree in the Himalayan region providing major fodder to livestock and many other needs for sustaining life local rural communities. Including their value wide altitudinal distribution ranges, it extracted by villagers large scale during lean period (May June). Thus, aim was understand nutritive values of species influenced altitude harvesting season....

Insects largely rely on olfactory cues when seeking and judging information on nests, partners, or resources. Bees are known to use volatile compounds-besides visual cues-to find flowers suitable for pollen and nectar collection. Tropical stingless bees additionally collect large amounts of plant resins for nest construction, nest maintenance, nest defense, and to derive chemical constituents f...

Since the 1985 release of methyl isocyanate in Bhopal, India, which killed thousands, the chemical industry has begun to use process hazard analysis techniques more widely to protect the public from catastrophic chemical releases. These techniques can provide a systematic method for evaluating a system design to ensure that it operates as intended, help identify process areas that may result in...

Two 900-year records of annual accumulation at South Pole are compared to evaluate the origin and significance of observed variations. Despite difficulties establishing absolute timescales, due to problems identifying annual layer markers, the two records can be correlated with confidence after moderate smoothing. This correlation shows that over the time period considered (1050-1956 A.D.) no c...

date palm tree reaction to fertilizer is very slow, due to the trunk nutrients. this fact leads to farmer unwillingness to feed the trees. however, balance fertilizing improves vegetative growth and reduce the period for flowering. this study aimed to assess the effects of manure, chemical and organic sulfur on vegetative characteristics of ‘piarom’ date palm offshoot in a randomized complete b...

A strategic selection of tree species will shift the type and quality of litter input, and subsequently magnitude and composition of the soil organic carbon (SOC) through soil microbial community. We conducted a manipulative experiment in randomized block design with leaf litter inputs of four native subtropical tree species in a Pinus massoniana plantation in southern China and found that the ...

In this talk we consider some results and open problems from the Chemical Graph Theory, mainly concerning structural indices/properties. The Atom Bond Connectivity index, also known as ABC index was defined by Estrada [4] with relation to the energy of formation of alkanes. It was quickly recognized that this index reflects important structural properties of graphs in general. The ABC index was...

Cayley's theorem, in principle, can be used in determining the isomers of alkanes lot, which was originally limited to the calculation of the number of isomers of manual calculation, the method of "drawing and counting." Graph structure of the alkane is a tree (the tree). By proving that the alkane is a tree graph of a satisfying E (G) = V (G) with a value of V (G) = 3n + 2 and E (G) = 3n +1, -...

Floral constituents of the Australian tar tree, Semecarpus australiensis, distributed in Melanesia and Northern Australia, were extracted with solvent, analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main 16- 18-carbon fatty acids their ethyl esters. Amongst 67 identified compounds, zingerone was detected minute quantity, providing chemical basis for previous observations fruit fly attrac...
