Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) and other species of ambrosia beetles are key pests of ornamental nursery trees. A variety of laboratory- and field-based experiments were conducted in pursuit of improved monitoring strategies and to develop a trap tree strategy for ambrosia beetles. Traps baited with bolts prepared from Magnolia virginiana L. injected with ethanol caught five times more X. ge...

Developers are familiar with the multitude of small scale content management systems on the market but few know about large scale web content management systems. Up until now, applications such as plone, magnolia, and projects by the Apache foundation have attempted to fill the large market niche. PHP based content management systems have had trouble acquiring enterprise deployments for a numbe...

While working in his garden in the spring of 1763, English clergyman Edward Stone was positive he had found a cure for malaria. Tasting the bark of a willow (Salix alba), Stone noticed a bitter flavor similar to that of fever tree (Cinchona spp.), the Peruvian plant used to make quinine. He reported his discovery to the Royal Society in London, recommending that willow be tested as an inexpensi...

-Migrant warblers mist netted on Appledore Island, Maine, during spring and fall migration in 1990 and 199 1 allowed analysis of seasonal differences in stopover patterns, including recapture rates, stopover lengths, and changes in mass and fat during stopover. Northern Waterthrushes (Seiurus noveborucensis) and American Redstarts (Serophaga ruticilla) had higher recapture rates in the fall tha...

The Magnoliaceae shows strong phylogenetic niche conservatism, in which temporal petal closure has been extensively reported. However, it is yet elusive whether temporal petal closure is an idle floral character inherited from their ancestors or an adaptive trait to their habitats. Here, we monitored the process of temporal floral closure and re-opening in a thermogenic plant, Magnolia denudata...

Alain Badiou’s interpretation of Paul Thomas Anderson’s film Magnolia is a paradigmatic example his peculiar procedure cinematic analysis called axiomatic judgment. According to the judgment, read inquire into effects it has on thought. This essay reconstructs show how various elements—acting style, montage, music, and biblical references—are combined arrange visitation precise idea: that love ...

A ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-photodiode array (PDA) detection method was established for the simultaneous determination of seven constituents in Fructus aurantii-Magnolia bark decoction: naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, narirutin, meranzin hydrate, honokiol and magnolol. These were separated in <17 min using a C18 column with gradient elution using (a) acetonitrile, (b) w...

Two honokiol dimers, houpulins A and B (1 and 2), and two magnolol derivatives, houpulins C and D (3 and 4), were isolated and characterized from an ethanol extract obtained from the roots of Magnolia officinalis. The chemical structures were determined based on spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses, which included 1D and 2D NMR, as well as mass spectrometry data. These four oligomers poss...

The present report deals with the pharmacological properties of a series of quaternary tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline, phenylethylamine and phenanthropyridine alkaloids, isolated from Magnolia and Cocculus plants by Prof. Tomita et al. (1). Marsh et al. (2) reported that some of the quaternary alkaloids isolated from the Cocculus plants showed a considerable curare-like activity. Ogiu and Morita ...
