In the paper at hand the project design of “IGaDtools4MINT”, a research project aiming to promote gender and diversity aspects as well as an opening of the faculty culture of computer science, is introduced. A first approximation on the reasons why women tend to study computer science and other MINT/STEM-subjects far less often than men will be given. Moreover, results of an initial survey of f...

The chemical composition of the essential oils was influenced by many factors including extraction methods. In this study, the effect of extraction methods; hydrodistillation, microwave assisted hydrodistillation and solvent free microwave extraction of Mentha piperita L. growing in Taif, KSA, on the yield and chemical composition of their essential oils were investigated. Furthermore, the oils...

Algebraic Geometric codes associated to a recently discovered class of maximal curves are investigated. As a result, some linear codes with better parameters with respect to the previously known ones are discovered, and 70 improvements on MinT’s tables [1] are obtained.

Das Projekt MINT-ECho ermöglicht Schülerinnen und Schülern erste Fachpublikationen. Allerdings blieb bisher wissenschaftliche Publikation eine Domäne der Universitäten Institute, setzte somit weitgereifte Ausbildung voraus. Wettbewerbe Seminarfächer ermöglichten zwar dem interessierten naturwissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs „Bühnen“ Präsentation eigenen Forschung, doch „echte Kommunikation“ in einem...

In this paper, we propose a laboratory-based computer networking course to better teach various networking concepts to undergraduate students. Specifically, we ask students to build the lab network as a miniature Internet (MINT) from the ground up. Each laboratory builds upon the last until the desired infrastructure is in place. Students are then asked to set up common network services, extend...

Quadratic rotation-orthogonal composite experimental design was applied in this experiment to obtain the ultraweak luminescence property of mint affected by multilateral growth environmental factors including illumination, temperature, humidity, and moisture. The influence models of four factors on luminescence were established. Analysis showed that different factors and their interactions had ...

The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of some spices (M. piperita L., R. coriaria L., T. spicata, S. officinalis, R. officinalis L., C. ovata L., O. vulgare L., L. nobilis L. and C. annum L.) were determined. The higher TEAC values (mmol TE/g extract) were obtained for sage (1.783) and rosemary (1.241). The IC value (mg/ml) ranged between 0.103-4.082 for mint and capers, respectiv...

Several clones of golden ginger mint (Mentha x gracilis, 'Variegata') were found infected with Strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV). The virus was purified and cloned and the complete nucleotide sequence of a mint isolate was obtained. RNA 1 consists of 7,496 nucleotides excluding the poly-A tail and encodes a polyprotein with signature enzymatic motifs found in other picorna-like plant vir...
