Pine wilt disease (PWD), a destructive disease for pine trees, is caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and additional bacteria. In this study, extracts of Zostera marina showed a high nematicidal activity against PWN and some of the bacteria that it carries. Light yellow crystals were obtained from extracts of Z. marina through solvent extraction, followed by chrom...

Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) supports e-learning applications with storage and efficient access for e-learning objects (LO)s. ROSA is a LCMS built as a semantic layer on the top of an XML native DBMS. In this paper, we present ROSA Data Model designed as an extension to RDF data model with ordered collections and relationship properties and cardinalities. An algebra is proposed wi...

The cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury greatly influences the therapeutic effect and remains an urgent challenge in clinical therapy. Polypharmacology opens a new therapeutic opportunity to design drugs with a specific target for improving the efficacy. In this study, we first forecasted that Rosmarinic acid (RosA) could be used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease using text mini...

The genus Rosa Linnaeus, 1753 has important economic value in ornamental sector and many breeding activities are going on supported by molecular studies. However, the cytogenetic studies of rose species are scarce and mainly focused on chromosome counting and chromosome morphology-based karyotyping. Due to the small size of the chromosomes and a high frequency of polyploidy in the genus, karyot...

Island loggerhead shrikes (Lanius ludovicianus anthonyi) are an endemic, genetically distinct subspecies of loggerhead shrike on California’s Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and Santa Catalina Islands (USA). This subspecies is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the California Department of Fish and Game and has been petitioned for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. The combination...

Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) supports e-learning applications with storage and efficient access for e-learning objects (LO)s. ROSA is a LCMS built as a semantic layer on the top of an XML native DBMS, Tamino. Together, ROSA and Tamino, offer instructional designers a semantic view of e-learning content. In this paper, we present ROSA Data Model and Query Language, designed as an e...
