This study investigates the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties of Bellevalia sosonii, an endemic species with limited prior pharmacological research. The findings reveal that B. sosonii possesses notable radical-scavenging activity, particularly in the subterranean acetone extract, which exhibited the strongest antioxidant effect in both the ABTS (IC₅₀: 1.9 µg/ml) and DPPH (IC₅₀: 11.6 µg/ml) assays. This extract also had the highest total phenolic content (288.5 ± 1.7 µg GAE/mg extract), while the subterranean methanol extract contained the greatest flavonoid concentration (602.8 ± 1.8 µg QE/mg extract). Overall, the antioxidant activity of the extracts was comparable to or approached that of the positive controls. In antimicrobial testing, moderate inhibition was observed, with the aerial methanol extract demonstrating the strongest effect against Candida albicans (inhibition zone: 10 mm; MIC: 1.2 mg/ml). In anticancer evaluations, all extracts showed dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity against HT-29 colorectal cancer cells, with an average reduction in cell viability of 50% after 48 hours. The aerial methanol extract exhibited the most pronounced cytotoxic effect, reducing cell viability to 33%. These results suggest that B. sosonii is a promising natural source of bioactive compounds with potential pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the development of antioxidant and anticancer agents.
Despite deep cultural and lifestyle changes, today, lots of people are unable to face problems, and this makes them vulnerable. There could be many problems during anybody’s life and teenagers are not exception. Some teenagers do not have special skills to face problems nicely, and as a result, encounter problems insufficiently and harm themselves. According the result of research, academic and social performance and group activities like interaction with other students, friends, and relatives could be improved by assertiveness training, and the sensitive and critical period of adolescence can be changed into a quiet and stable period, by reducing behavioral and academic problems. So, with respect to the importance of this period, knowing this period of life correctly is very crucial in order to prevent abnormalities and problems by giving teenagers needed information and training them to face the problems caused by these changes.
Recently, B. Samet et al. (Fixed Point Theory and Appl. 2013:5, 2013, doi:10.1186/1687-1812-2013-5) has introduced the concept of new contraction mappings and obtained results on the fixed point for nonlinear contractive mappings in a metric space. In the present paper, we introduce the concept of a new contraction via the measure of non-compactness on a Banach space, obtain few generalizations of Darbo fixed point theorem and extend some recent results of Aghajani et al. We also show the applicability of obtained results to the theory of integral equations.
This project mainly focus on with the cascaded QZSI, the main aim is reduces the shoot through duty cycle and there by the component stress get reduces which gives the better efficiency and improve the reliability of the system. To increase the number of stage boost factor also increase. It simulates the power simulation software. In conventional method has the voltage buck and boost function in the two stage system, during shoot through states it causes short circuit of the dc link capacitor. In order to overcome this problem in the QZSI shoot through states are used to boost the magnetic energy stored in the dc side inductance. The proposed system can be improved by the efficiency 91%.
Researchers have identified methodologies to enhance the chances of success for various projects\nbut a little concentration has been given to projects related to software industry. An explanatory\nstudy was undertaken to identify the critical success factors for software projects.\nCommunication factors, Technical factors, Organizational factors, Environmental factors,\nProduct factors, Team factors, Project management factors were the seven critical success factors\ntheir effect on project success was measured. Data was collected from Pakistan based software\nhouses and results concluded that there is a strong dependency of software project success over\nTeam and Technical factors.
Presented in paper are the results of a study of hypothetical flora of Venus around the VENERA-14 lander. Because of the previous experience of searching for objects of hypothetical flora and fauna of Venus, successful processing of more complex panoramas of the VENERA-14 lander has been performed revealing multiple \"stems\" that should be added to the hypothetical flora of the planet. They are thin knotty vertical trunks that have a thickness of 0.3-3 cm and are 0.2 to 0.5 m or more in height. On color panoramas, they look black. On close objects, one can see that the \"stem\" at the top end is provided with a large bulge, a \"burgeon\" or “flower” that is 2-8 cm in diameter; and other have petals surrounding a bright center. At the base of the stems, there are features that resemble leaves in a quatrefoil. Although the \"stems\" are numerous in the panoramas on both sides of VENERA-14 (where there are approximately eight stalks rising from cracks on the rocky ground), in the VENERA-13 panoramas, the \"stems\" are rare. Perhaps an object of the \"stem\" type is apparent at the landing site of VENERA-9. Probably, the \"stems\" are widespread on the planet, because the landing distances between the three different VENERA missions were 900 and 4500 km. In general, hypothetical signs of flora on Venus go far beyond the direct results of the VENERA missions.
In this study, the effect of environmental factors of production traits was studied. Data collected of 8381 buffaloes from 129 herds from Khuzestan province by Animal Breeding Organization Of Iran during 13 years(1994-2008). Using linear model of environmental factors herd, lactation period and season of calving analyzed by GLM procedure in SAS software. These traits were milk yield, fat yield and length lactation. The effect of all factors studied for traits were significant. Mean and standard dievesion of milk yield,fat yield and length lactation were 2178.57±763.38kg, 138.23±55.56kg and 224.52±72.151day, respectively. The milk yield, fat yield and lactation length were lower in the first lactation than the other lactations. Buffalo calving in spring showed the highest milk yield , fat yield and lactation length. Phenotypic correlations among traits were positive and strong. Milk yield and fat yield per lactation increased with increasing lactation length.The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of herd, lactation period and season of calving on milk yield, fat yield and lactation length in Khuzestan buffalo of Iran.
Abstact:\nA field experiment was conducted during autumn 2012 to study the effect of different irrigation levels and organic mulches on growth, yield and quality related parameters of maize (Zea mays L.). Three irrigation levels I1 (3-irrigations), I2 (5-irrigations) and I3 (7-irrigations) were applied at different growth stages of the maize crop. Three mulching treatments M1 (control), M2 (maize straw) and M3 (grass clippings) were applied to the soil after sowing. The results established concluded that I3 (7 irrigations) showed maximum plant height, cob length, number of cobs per plant, number of grain rows per cob, number of grains per row, number of grains per cob, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, stalk yield and the harvest index followed by I2 (5 irrigations). Results also indicated that irrigation level I1 (3 irrigations) showed minimum response to maize growth, yield and quality related parameters as well as soil physical parameters. In case of mulching maize stalk mulch (M2) was attributed with the maximum grain yield (4.47 tha-1) as compared to the grass clipping mulch (M3) and the control treatment (M1). Irrigation levels and mulching materials also significantly affected the seed protein contents and seed oil contents as the maximum seed protein contents and seed oil contents were obtained where 7 irrigations combined with maize stalk mulch were applied.\nKey words: Irrigation levels, mulches, grain yield of maize hybrid, sub-tropical condition, autumn season, Pakistan.
