A micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method was applied for the identification of geographical origins of Chinese green teas. Under the optimized conditions, chromatographic profiling of collected Maojian tea samples was obtained. Based on MEKC-UV profiling, twenty-four tea samples were successfully differentiated according to the relative peak areas of selected peaks in the chromato...

The genus Goniothalamus is belonging to the Annonaceae family, consists of ca. 2500 species and found in tropical Southeast Asia. essential oils were recognized possess considerable biological activities with varied chemical composition. This article aims overview medicinal uses, compositions, Malaysian considered as a plants, widely used traditional herbal medicines treatment various diseases....

Helichrysum italicum (Roth.) G. Don is an aromatic perennial shrub widespread across the Mediterranean Basin. Plants from this species show a high degree of morphological variability. This research examines variation inside H. population growing in natural conditions and correlation between observed traits. Morphometric characteristics synflorescence were measured on plants wild northwestern co...

Isonitrosoacetophenone (INAP, 2-keto-2-phenyl-acetaldoxime) is a novel inducer of plant defense. Oxime functional groups are rare in natural products, but can serve as substrates depending on existing secondary pathways. Changes in the metabolomes of sorghum and tobacco cells treated with INAP were investigated and chemometric tools and multivariate statistical analysis were used to investigate...

PURPOSE To determine if primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients can be differentiated from controls based on metabolic characteristics. METHODS We used ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry with C18 liquid chromatography for metabolomic analysis on frozen plasma samples from 72 POAG patients and 72 controls. Metabolome-wide Spearman correlation was performed to select differentially exp...

Hypertension is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. In this study, performance of classification techniques is compared in order to predict the risk of essential hypertension disease. A retrospective analysis was performed in 694 subjects (452 patients and 242 controls). We compared performances of three decision trees, four statistical algorithms, and two neural networks. Predictor va...

Thirty groundwater samples were taken from Assiut’s northern outskirts. The physicochemical properties of these investigated. For the evaluation water–rock interaction, saturation index (SI), chloro-alkaline indices (CAI1 and CAI2), Gibbs ratios for cations anions (GC GA), principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster (HCA) used. (1) With exception five that supersaturated, rest unde...

This paper introduces the concept of hierarchical cellular automata (HCA). The theory of HCA is developed over the Galois extension field (2 ), where each cell of the CA can store and process a symbol in the extension field (2 ). The hierarchical field structure of (2 ) is employed for design of an HCA-based test pattern generator (HCATPG). The HCATPG is ideally suited for testing very large sc...

Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), including Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H. T. Chang (NI) and Notopterygium franchetii H. de Boiss (NF), is an important traditional Chinese medicine. Of these two plants, NI, is more commonly used and has a much higher price in the marketplace. To compare these two plants, a combination of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performanc...
