The share of the annual volume harvester-produced timber in Czech forest bioeconomy has increased last decades. To estimate under-bark volume, harvester systems allow choosing between two different bark deduction models – diameter band (DBM) and linear model. However, were not calibrated for conditions forestry. Therefore, objective this research was to develop, local Czechia, functions estimat...

Objectives: The objective of this study is to extract Phytochemical constituent from Cinnamon Bark and design develop the transdermal patch herbal drug along with modern medicine Glibenclamide using solvent casting method reduce dose required obtain same pharmacological effect, also toxicity drug. Methods: Transdermal patches were formulated by method. physical chemical similarity medication ba...

The present study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant potential of different parts of Oroxylum indicum. 2,2-diphelyl 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging potential and reductive ability assay of methanol extract of different parts i.e. root, root bark, stem, stem bark, leaves and fruits were performed. Leaves and bark extracts exhibits highest f...

Recently O’Grady argued that Quine’s “Two Dogmas” misses its mark when Carnap’s use of the analyticity distinction is understood in the light of his deflationism. While in substantial agreement with the stress on Carnap’s deflationism, I argue that O’Grady is not sufficiently sensitive to the difference between using the analyticity distinction to support deflationism, and taking a deflationary...

There exist many computer graphics techniques which could achieve high quality tree generation. However, only a few works focus on realistic modeling of tree bark. Difficulties lie in the complex appearance of the bark surfaces which are largely determined by their mesostructures. Unlike traditional physical based methods, in this paper, we present an appearance-based method to model tree bark ...

Studies of forest declines are important, because they both reduce timber production and affect successional trajectories of landscapes and ecosystems. Of particular interest is the decline of red pines which is characterized by expanding areas of dead and chlorotic trees in plantations throughout the Great Lakes Region. Here we examine the impact of two bark beetle groups, namely red turpentin...

Drimys brasiliensis Miers, locally known as cataia or casca-de-anta, is a native tree species of the Atlantic Rainforest. Its bark is harvested from natural populations. This study examined the recovery capacity of the bark of D. brasiliensis under different bark harvesting methods, as well as the influence of these approaches on its population dynamics and reproductive biology. While none of t...

Predators feeding on toxic prey may evolve physiological resistance to the preys' toxins. Grasshopper mice (Onychomys spp.) are voracious predators of scorpions in North American deserts. Two species of grasshopper mice (Onychomys torridus and Onychomys arenicola) are broadly sympatric with two species of potentially lethal bark scorpion (Centruroides exilicauda and Centruroides vittatus) in th...
