We probe the existence of the Epeak–Eiso correlation in long GRBs using a sample of 442 BATSE bursts with known Epeak and with redshift estimated through the lag–luminosity correlation. This sample confirms that the rest frame peak energy is correlated with the isotropic equivalent energy. The distribution of the scatter of the points around the best fitting line is similar to that obtained wit...

The use of gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS), GC-time-of-flight MS (TOFMS), comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GCxGC)-flame ionization detection (FID), and GCxGC-TOFMS is discussed for the characterization of the eight important representative components, including Z-alpha-santalol, epi-alpha-bisabolol, Z-alpha-trans-bergamotol, epi-beta-santalol, Z-beta-santalol, E,E-farnesol, Z-nu...

Thirty-eight Phaeoacremonium isolates collected from pruning wounds of tropical sandalwood in Western Australia were studied with morphological and cultural characteristics as well as phylogenetic analyses of combined DNA sequences of the actin and β-tubulin genes. Three known Phaeoacremonium species were found, namely P. alvesii, P. parasiticum, and P. venezuelense. Phaeoacremonium venezuelens...

Sandalwood (Santalum spp.) has been overharvested throughout its range, including the Hawaiian Islands, where 6 of 19 species Santalum spp. are endemic. As hemiparasitic plant species, sandalwoods require a host for optimal forest establishment, yet importance during seedling development is unclear. Furthermore, understanding interactions between pot hosts and nutrient availability on sandalwoo...

The skin is constantly subject to external stressors (the exposome), including particulate matter and blue light. These can penetrate the deeper layers of skin, inducing release free radicals triggering an inflammatory cascade events contributing cutaneous aging exacerbating conditions. This study demonstrates clinical efficacy Indian sandalwood oil varying concentrations against oxidative stre...

Objective(s): Morbidity and mortality due to diabetes mellitus (DM) result in exorbitant psycho-economical costs, so there is a strong need to create new strategies and drugs for controlling DM. The aim of the current study was to investigate the anti-diabetic effect of the aqueous extract of Pterocarpus santalinus on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DM as compared to glus...
