Introduction: Acetaminophen is a common analgesic that is toxic to the liver in the case of high dose and antioxidants such as herbs can partially inhibit the harmful effects of high dose of such substances. Materials and Methods: In this study, 42 mice weighing 25-30 g were randomly divided into six groups (n=7). The first group as the control group received 1 ml/kg (0.5 ml/kg 12 hours apart)...

The blue pansy Junonia orithya Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) is widely distributed along the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Australia. It is also known as a migrant species in the Levant. Here we record Junonia orithya in south Israel and provide a DNA-barcode-based evidence for its Asian (non-African) origin.

The taxonomy of the genus Hansreia Halffter & Martínez is reviewed. The genus consists of six species, including three new species: H. peugeoti sp. nov., H. grossii sp. nov., H. krinskii sp. nov. Lectotypes are designated for Hansreia affinis (Fabricius 1801), H. oxygona (Perty 1830) [here considered a valid species] and H. coriacea (Schmidt 1922). The species status of H. coriacea is recognize...

I would like to make this personal request to viola teache;s: If you continue to teach a student beyond the beginning years, modify some of the things that you taught him initially. Explain to him why you taught him certain things at first and why you are now suggesting some refinements and exceptions: Tell him why you had to teach him that water seeks its own level, and show him why you now ha...

The macroscopic character of the whole plant, physical constant values, extractive values, behaviour on treatment with different chemical reagents. Fluorescence characters under uv light after treatment with different chemical reagents of the powdered whole plant of lonidium suffruticosam Ging (Family; violaceae) were studied to characterize some pharmacognostical parameters. Preliminary photoc...

Mysoria wilsoni H.A. Freeman, 1969, is established as a new junior synonym of Mysoria affinis (HerrichSchäffer, 1869). A lectotype for Pyrrhopyga [sic] affinis Herrich-Schäffer, 1869 is designated.

Most of the eye tracking devices is based on computer vision imaging systems. This paper presents a complete system for eye tracking through avoiding the restrictions that are caused due to the head movements. The Viola-Jones algorithm, in combination with Kalman Filtering, is utilized for detecting and tracking the face. The Viola –Jones-based eye tracker that is employed here offers eye track...

A new lignan glycoside, tianshanoside A (1), together with a known phenylpropanoid glycoside, syringin (2) and two known lignan glycosides, picraquassioside C (3), and aketrilignoside B (4), were isolated from the whole plant of Viola tianshanica Maxim. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by extensive NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY) and high resolution mass spectrometry a...
