Partial delete relaxation methods, like red-black planning, are extremely powerful, allowing in principle to force relaxed plans to behave like real plans in the limit. Alas, that power has so far been chained down by the computational overhead of the use as heuristic functions, necessitating to compute a relaxed plan on every search state. For red-black planning in particular, this has entaile...

In this article we consider the growth of seed black holes immersed in dark matter halos. We first investigate the adiabatic growth in various initial distribution functions (isothermal, power law, and NFW) and find the resulting density, radial velocity, and anisotropy profiles. In addition we estimate the growth rate for a given black hole mass in the corresponding adiabatically modified dark...

this study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of black cumin (nigella sativa l.) at the experimental station of the research institute of forest and rangeland, damavan region, iran. a split-plot experimental design, based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, was used. i...

Objective: Black cumin or Nigella sativa (N. sativa) seed has been widely used traditionally as a medicinal natural product because of its therapeutic effects. In this review, the medicinal properties of N. sativa as a healing remedy for the treatment of respiratory and allergic diseases, were evaluated. Material and Methods: Ke...

Black seed (Nigella sativa) is considered as a biological response modifier. Thymoquinone (TQ) is the bioactive and the most abundant constituent of the volatile oil of this seed which has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-neoplastic effects. In this study, the effect of TQ on HepG2 cell line was investigated in an attempt to identify its potential mechanism of actio...
