Leishmaniasis represents a serious threat to the health as one of the most important neglected tropical diseases as designated by the World Health Organization. The disease is endemic in 82 countries, among them Tunisia is an indigenous area for cutaneous Leishmaniasis. In a previous work, two tritepenic acids namely oleanolic and maslinic acids have been isolated from olive leaf extract. In th...

&nbsp; Background : Fluorine is an essential micronutrient for human health, serving to strengthen the apatite matrix of skeletal tissues and teeth. In regions where the fluoride (F&minus;) concentration of water is naturally low (<0.5 mg/l), some communities have chosen to add this constituent to their drinking water to strengthen teeth and to minimize cavities P.B.

(1) It is shown that if c is real-valued measurable then the Maharam type of (c,P(c), σ) is 2. This answers a question of D. Fremlin [Fr,(P2f)]. (2) A different construction of a model with a real-valued measurable cardinal is given from that of R. Solovay [So]. This answers a question of D. Fremlin [Fr,(P1)]. (3) The forcing with a κ-complete ideal over a set X , |X | ≥ κ cannot be isomorphic ...

endophytes are organisms present in the internal tissues living in symbiotic association with plants. these organisms may be used as alternative source of many secondary metabolites production. the present study was conducted to explore the endophytic fungi that colonize the inner tissues of medicinal plant mimusops elengi l. out of 100 plant segments of both leaves and twigs of mimusops elengi...

abstract soil salinity in huge parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is a factor limiting growth of plant and other organisms. earthworm can be considered as an indicator of soil quality in agroecosystems, because of a positive correlation between earthworm abundance and the productivity of cropped plants. the main objective of this study was to realize the interaction b...

BACKGROUND Dietary glycemic index, an indicator of the ability of the carbohydrate to raise blood glucose levels, and glycemic load, the product of glycemic index and carbohydrate intake, have been positively related to risk of coronary heart disease. However, the relationships between glycemic index and glycemic load and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration in the US popu...

We consider a second-order, selfadjoint elliptic operator L on a smooth one-parameter family of domains {Ωt}t∈[a,b] with no assumptions on the geometry of the Ωt’s. It is shown that the Morse index of L can be equated with the Maslov index of an appropriately defined path in a symplectic Hilbert space constructed on the boundary of Ωb. Our result is valid for a wide variety of boundary conditio...
