The title compound, C(16)H(24)O(3), was synthesized from ilicic acid, which was isolated from the aerial part of Inula viscosa- (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia viscosa- (L) Greuter]. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules, in each of which the seven-membered ring shows a chair conformation, whereas the five-membered ring presents disorder. In the two molecules, three C atoms in the fi...

Stampfli A. 1992. Effects of mowing and removing litter on reproductive shoot modules of some plant species in abandoned meadows on Monte San Giorgio. Bot. Helv. 102: 85-92. Reproductive shoot modules have been counted in a permanent plot experiment on Monte San Giorgio (Southern Switzerland) since 1988. The 8 species presented here, including the dominant grass (Molinia arundinacea) and seven ...

This research aims to characterize and analysis of newly cellulosic fiber extracted from Inula viscosa bark. The obtained fibers were also characterized after having been treated with alkali permanganate treatments. effect chemical treatments on the mechanical, physical, thermal properties was investigated by using, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric, scanning electron microscope analysis, o...

Inula cappa is well known for its medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory, digestive, depurative, carminative, analgesics, antipyretics, treatment of peptic ulcer etc. The present study focuses on the ability of I. cappa to alleviate liver damage caused by over carbon tetrachloride. The aqueous extract of whole plant of I. cappa (400 mg/kg, p.o) significantly showed hepatoprotective activit...

Abstract In central Europe, including Germany, Telekia speciosa (heart-leaved oxeye) is a synanthropic, non-native plant species commonly grown as an ornamental plant. A powdery mildew has recently been introduced on this host in Germany. This previously assigned to Golovinomyces cichoracearum (≡ Erysiphe ) sensu lato. Two German specimens of have sequenced and phylogenetically analysed. The an...

Purpose: To compare Orbscan II and Pentacam keratometry readings in terms of their agreement with a manual Javal type keratometer Methods: In this retrospective study, records of patients who had refractive surgery were reviewed. We extracted data of 765 eyes which had keratometry with the Javal keratometer; of these, 577 had Orbscan II and 200 eyes had Pentacam acquisitions. Minimum (min-K) an...
