Analysis of common volatile constituents between herbal pair (HP) Ephedra sinica Stapf (ESS)-Zingiber officinal Rosc (ZOR)and its single herb was performed by the method of GC-MS and alternative moving window factor analysis (AMWFA). Identification of the compounds was also assisted by comparison of temperature-programmed retention indices (PTRIs) on the OV-1 column with authentic samples. AMWF...

One of the most important aromatic plants is Pimpinella anisum. The genus Pimpinella contains 23 species that are found wild in different regions of Iran. Pimpinella eriocarpa is distributed in south and west of Iran. In this research, the oil composition of P. eriocarpa was studied. Essential oils were isolated by hydro-distillation from the arial parts and seeds of Pimpinella eriocarpa indivi...

Patchouli is used as an incense material and essential oil. The characteristic odor of patchouli leaves results from the drying process used in their production; however, there have to date been no reports on the changes in the odor of patchouli leaves during the drying process. We investigated the aroma profile of dried patchouli leaves using the hexane extracts of fresh and dried patchouli le...

The phytochemical investigation of Gymnocarpos decander aerial parts extract afforded two new saponins, 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-2β,3β,16α,23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester (1), 3-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-2β,3β,16α-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1...

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) three-dimensional general circulation/tracer model has been used to investigate the stratospheric behavior of N20 under a range of photodestruction hypotheses. A comparison of observations with these simulations shows that the atmospheric N20 lifetime lies between 100 and 130 years. For the three experiments conducted, it was found that the model...

The acivity-guided fractionation upon the MeOH extract of the aerial parts ofSorbaria sorbifolia var.stellipila led to the isolation of two cucurbitacin-compounds, cucurbitacin D and cucurbitacin F, as active principles. Two compounds were shown to exhibit significant cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines, A-549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF-498, and HCT 15.

The partitioned n-hexane, CHCl₃, and EtOAc extracts from the crude MeOH extract of Phaius mishmensis showed considerable cytotoxicities against the human breast carcinoma (MCF-7), lung carcinoma (NCI-H460), and central nervous system carcinoma (SF-268) cell lines. Four new compounds, phaindole (1), (7'R,8'R)-phaithrene (2), methyl 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxypropiophenone (3), and methyl hematinate ...

12Abstract. Social action depends on the knowledge about all levels of emergent structure and this knowledge is not limited to but produced by the local binary interactions, thus requiring reflexivity and intentionality. This knowledge resides in the impersonal area of symbol systems and is produced by a metalanguage which carries the knowledge of emergent structure beyond local networks to the...

This work focuses on the relationship between prosodic and syntactic domains in order to investigate whether there is a preferred syntactic domain of tonal units and whether there is a preferred prosodic domain of syntactic constituents. Two independent analyses of phonetic prosodic boundaries of syntactic constituents and of syntactic structure of prosodic constituents in Italian spontaneous d...
