The Orientale basin is the youngest and best-preserved major impact structure on the Moon. We used the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft to investigate the gravitational field of Orientale at 3- to 5-kilometer (km) horizontal resolution. A volume of at least (3.4 ± 0.2) × 106 km3 of crustal material was removed and redistributed during basin formation. There is no pres...

Hyalinobatrachium orientale has a complex taxonomic history suggesting that more than one species could be under this name. In this review, we try to clarify the current taxonomic status of this species by means of morphological, bioacoustic, and mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons of specimens from Tobago Island and the Venezuelan Cordillera de la Costa (Oriental Sector, Cordillera del Lito...

In this study, the effect of water and alcoholic (ethanol) extracts Caper Bush Capparis spinosa L., Cumine Cuminum cyminum L. , Black pepper Piper nigrum Sage Salvia sp. Cat thyme Teucrium polium plants on 4th instar larvae Culex quinquefasciatus have been evaluated .The results showed that extract P. had highest larvae, with 48h LC50 155. 9 ppm followed by ethanol C. 308.2 ,315.1and 791.4 resp...

In the mesophyll of Teucrium polium L. leaves, isolated or grouped idioblastic secretory cells occur in contact with the distal (adaxial) vessel elements of the vascular bundles. They appear to originate from one or more bundle sheath cells and their intracellular space is entirely occupied by the secretory material. The latter has a glycoproteinaceous constitution (mucilage), as histochemical ...
