INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil on germ tube formation by Candida albicans isolated from denture wearers. METHODS Ten C. albicans isolates recovered from denture wearers were tested using 10% fetal bovine serum with or without 4% R. officinalis essential oil. RESULTS The essential oil from R. officinalis completely in...

Herbal products derived from Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R. Br. ex Schult, Leucas aspera (Wild.), Plumbago zeylanica L., and Tridax procumbens (L.) R. Br. ex Schult. are widely used in traditional medicine. Though the extracts of these plants were found to be antimicrobial in nature and have the potential to be used in clinics, the mechanism of action of is not reported. The ethanolic extracts of H...

Assume that G = (V, E) is an undirected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The ball Br(v) denotes the vertices within graphical distance r from v. A subset C ⊆ V is called an (r,≤ l)-locating-dominating code of type B if the sets Ir(F ) = ⋃ v∈F (Br(v)∩C) are distinct for all subsets F ⊆ V \C with at most l vertices. A subset C ⊆ V is an (r,≤ l)-locatingdominating code of type A if sets Ir(...

The proton-nucleon cross section ratio R = Br(Υ → l+l−) · dσ(Υ)/dy|y=0 /σ(J/ψ) has been measured with the HERA-B spectrometer in fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions at 920 GeV proton beam energy corresponding to a proton-nucleon cms energy of √ s = 41.6 GeV. The combined results for the decay channels Υ → e+e− and Υ → μ+μ− yield a ratio R = (9.0±2.1) ·10−6 . The corresponding Υ production cr...

the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) is one of the most important agricultural pests of the world. it causes direct and indirect damage on plants which decreases in photosynthesis and crop yield. the effect of sublethal concentrations of artemisia annua l. (asteraceae) and rosmarinus officinalis l. (lamiaceae) essential oils were assessed on development a...
