Wild plants are widely utilized as important sources of traditional medicines and food. Ehretia rigida (Thunb.) is one such plant species that occurs naturally in southern Africa different parts the have nutritional, cultural, pharmaceutical importance. The current study aimed at providing information on medicinal biological properties E. rigida. review assessed existing literature uses plant. ...

The Geobacillus icigianus G1w1(T) strain was isolated from sludge samples of unnamed vaporing hydrothermal (97°С) outlets situated in a geyser in the Troinoy region (Valley of Geysers, Kronotsky Nature Reserve, Kamchatka, Russian Federation; 54°25'51.40″N, 160°7'41.40″E). The sequenced and annotated genome is 3,457,810 bp and encodes 3,342 genes.

A theory of higher-derivative 2D dilaton gravity which has its roots in the massive higherspin mode dynamics of string theory is suggested. The divergences of the effective action to one-loop are calculated, both in the covariant and in the conformal gauge. Some technical problems which appear in the calculations are discussed. An interpretation of the theory as a particular D=2 higher-derivati...

Two new benzyl benzoate glycosides were isolated from the leaves and stems of the native North American prairie plant Oligoneuron rigidum (stiff goldenrod). The glycosides were isolated as a mixture of benzoate and acetate esters, which were subjected to mild base hydrolysis to facilitate full structural characterization using LCMSMS and 1D and 2D NMR data.

We investigate the influence of the projective invariance on the renormalization properties of the theory. One-loop counterterms are calculated in the most general case of interaction of gravity with scalar field.

We report here the complete genome sequence of a Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolate, NDV/Altai/pigeon/770/2011, isolated from a rock dove in the Russian Federation. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, this strain was clustered into genotype VIb class II.

A modern classification of pastures in Karakalpak Ustyurt has been developed, which combines 7 pasture types (Anabasis salsa, Salsola arbusculiformis-Anabasis Artemisia terrae-albae-Anabasis Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix hispida-T. elongata, Kalidium caspicum, Halocnemum strobilaceum), 2 classes (pastures stratal plains on gray-brown soils and drainless depressions solonchaks) 42 varieties, a ...
