We propose module graphical lasso (MGL), an aggressive dimensionality reduction and network estimation technique for a highdimensional Gaussian graphical model (GGM). MGL achieves scalability, interpretability and robustness by exploiting the modularity property of many real-world networks. Variables are organized into tightly coupled modules and a graph structure is estimated to determine the ...

The Moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L., Lamiaceae) is an annual medicinal plant with beneficial nutritional sources that plays important roles in human and animal feed. Nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma increase biochemical compounds in plants. In this study, the effects of copper nanoparticles and cold atmospheric plasma on biochemical indices of the medicinal plant Draco...

humic acid as an organic substance can bound heavy metals. it is a best way of decreasing the hazardous effect of heavy metals on plants and thereby on humans. a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design of seven replications. the treatments consisted of three cadmium levels (0, 2 and 4 mgl-1), and three humic acid levels (0, 100, 1000 mgl-1) added to nutrient solutio...

The main purpose of the present study is to predict optimal values ultrasound-extraction conditions by employing response surface method based on Box–Behnken design from Moringa oleifera leaves. impact three independent variables, namely extraction time (5,15, and 25 min), solid solvent ratio (60%, 70%, 80%), ultrasonic amplitude (20%, 60%, 100%) yield total phenolic/flavonoid content were stud...

Formaldehyde and phenol biodegradation during the denitrification process was studied at lab-scale, first in anoxic batch assays and then in a continuous anoxic reactor. The biodegradation of formaldehyde (260 mgl(-1)) as single carbon source and at phenol concentrations ranging from 30 to 580 mgl(-1) was investigated in batch assays, obtaining an initial biodegradation rate around 0.5g CH(2)Og...

Background. Enzyme prodrug therapy is a promising strategy to treat solid malignancies. The utilization of two-component systems, including an enzyme and non-toxic prodrug, generate cytotoxic compounds directly at the surface tumor cell can be successful in reducing overall toxic load on body. Aim. To determine antitumor activity pharmacological pair C115H methionine γ-lyase (C115H MGL) conjuga...

The effect of a dietary supplementation of gallic acid and linoleic acid mixture (MGL) and their synthetic salt, sodium 2,3-dihydroxy-5-(((9E,12E)-octadeca-9,12-dienyloxy)carbonyl)phenolate (NGL), on egg quality was investigated. A total of 120 laying hens were allotted into five groups over 4weeks of the experimental period. Birds were fed the following diets: (1) control [commercial diet (CD)...

The waste water generation from the automobile motor workshop activities are responsible for environmental degradation in form of pollution and showed variable impact on plant growth. This paper gives information, assessment screening about effect work shop seedling growth two different types legume bean crops namely, kidney (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) mung (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilkczek) pot cult...

Growing evidence indicates that the endocannabinoid system is important for the acquisition and/or extinction of learning and memory. However, it is unclear which endocannabinoid(s) play(s) a crucial role in these cognitive functions, especially memory extinction. To elucidate the physiological role of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), a major endocannabinoid, in behavioral and cognitive functions...
