1,3 dimethylamylamine or methylexaneamine (DMAA) is a synthetic pharmaceutical patented in the 1940s as a nasal decongestant which can be used as a recreational stimulant. Alleged to occur in nature, DMAA has become a widely used ingredient in sports food supplements, despite its status as a doping agent and concerns over its safety. There is now some doubt as to whether it can be sourced natur...

An illustrated key is provided for the identification of 39 genera of Thysanoptera--Phlaeothripinae with species that live in association with dead branches and leaf-litter in Australia and are considered to be fungus-feeding. Seven of these genera are not previously recorded from this continent, including un-named species of Deplorothrips, Malacothrips, Mystrothrips, Preeriella and Tylothrips,...

Herbicides are the major tool for controlling large populations of yield depleting weeds. However, over-reliance on herbicides has resulted in weed adaptation and herbicide resistance. In recent years, early flowering species related to resistance is emerging, which may cause seed loss before crop harvest, creating a new problem non-chemical management. this study, homologue gene AGAMOUS sub-fa...

purpose : to determine the efficacy of three therapeutic regimens for the treatment of amaurosis fugax secondary to embolic sources from the heart methods : sixty patients randomly divided into 3 groups (20 patients in each group). group 1 received 100 mg aspirin/day, group 2 received the same dose of aspirin plus dipyridamole 75 mg twice daily and group 3 received 10 mg warfarin for 3 days fol...
