variability in morphological traits, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of 15 populations of iranian ferula species collected from natural habitats in different regions of iran were investigated. total phenolic content (tpc) of fruit extracts varied from 12.77 to 120.72 mg tannic acid per 1g dry weight. total flavonoid of fruits extract varied from 5.45 mg quercetin per 1 g dry weight i...

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Objective(s): Based on knowledge from traditional herbal medicine, Ferula assa-foetida (asafoetida) has several therapeutic applications but there is less knowledge about its effect on neurons. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate neuronal differentiation, neuronal ...

Anti-helmintic drug is an agent that destroys or causes the expulsion of parasitic intestinal worm. They may also be called vermifuges (stunning) or vermicides (killing). Asafoetida is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula (three of which grow in India), which is a perennial herb (1 to 1.5 m high). Asafoetida is exten...

Motion compensation using the optimal full search algorithm is often too computational heavy for real time implementation. Many suboptimal fast search algorithms have been proposed. In particular, Liu and Zaccarin proposed the Alternating Subsampling Search Algorithm (ASSA). The ASSA reduces the computation by subsampling the pixels instead of limiting the search locations. It was shown that AS...

Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil and are released to the marine environment by natural seepage and from anthropogenic sources. Due to their chemical inertness, their removal from anoxic marine sediments is primarily controlled by the activity of anaerobic alkane-degrading microorganisms. To facilitate comprehensive cultivation-independent surveys of the diversity and distribution of ...
