in this research the utilization of acacia wood (acacia salicina) in medium density fiber board production was investigated. sample boards were made from acacia fibers at two resin contents (10, 12%), two press temperatures (175, 185 ˚c) and three press times(3, 4, 5 min). the results were analyzed based on a complete randomized design (crd) under a factorial experiment. results revealed that i...

Four plants having known medicinal properties were screened for inhibition of goatpox virus (GTPV) replication in vitro. Of the 4 plants, extract of Acacia arabica (Babul) and Eugenia jambolana (Jamun) leaves had inhibition (%) 99.70 and 99.92 at their maximum non toxic concentrations, 99.93 +/- 0.38 and 1999.73 +/- 0.50 microg/ml, respectively in all cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assays. ...

Objective: Acacia bark-derived proanthocyanidins exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hypotensive effects, and improving skin condition, in addition to beneficial effects on blood glucose. Herein, we evaluated the of acacia fasting postprandial glucose levels healthy Japanese adults with (FBG) between 110–125 mg/dL.Methods: Subjects were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 3...

Japanese Angelica Root prepared from Angelica acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae, known in Japan as “Toki” and “Hokkai Toki”, is an important crude drug used in Kampo medicine (traditional Japanese medicine). However, since these Angelica varieties have recently outcrossed with each other, it is unclear whether Japanese Angelica Root sold for use in Kampo medicine is a pur...

The effect of lignin structural units on enzymatic hydrolysis lignocellulosic biomass was investigated, especially the inhibitory role in non-productive adsorption with enzymes. Milled wood (MWL) isolated from different hardwoods poplar, eucalyptus and acacia. samples were characterized by elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography, nitrobenzene oxidation fourier infrared spectroscopy. m...

[1] In this study, the performance of inverse threedimensional variational assimilation (I3D-Var) is investigated in terms of dissipation process for an advection-diffusion problem. The performance of I3D-Var becomes poorer with larger diffusion coefficients. However, even for strong dissipation, the cost function during early iterations in the I3D-Var decreases still much faster than it does i...
