Trends of technological innovation in herbal products

The therapeutic properties of plants are greatly explored by the pharmaceutical industries, they are sources of innovation for industrial property. Formulation of new products can be protected through the patent deposits, market strategy used by companies and researchers in the industry. Therefore, this research aims to conduct a survey of patents related to herbal therapeutic products to trace the technological profile and analyze trends in the use of plant genetic resources in its composition.

The role of educational research in teaching chemistry

An overview of the relationship between educational research and teaching chemistry is presented, covering the opportunity areas between production and science popularization (dissemination of scientific knowledge). Knowledge apprehension and appropriation are also discussed in the educational context of UNAM, in Facultad de Estudios SuperioresCuautitlán. Links between scientific and pedagogical training are defined by considering educational research as a means to broaden the theoretical and methodological options for chemistry teaching.

The influence of different types of manure and planting distance towards the growth and development of plants white mustard (Brassica juncea l.)

Mustard plant is one of a potentially great horticultural crops are to be developed. Although generally cultivated mustard plants on the plateau, but there are varieties that can adapt, developed and high production in the lowlands as long as the grant of the right fertilizer. The purpose of this research was: 1) to know the influence of the type of fertilizer and planting distance towards the growth and development of plant mustard greens.

Major trematode infections of sheep in lemo woreda and associated economic loss due to liver condemnation at Hossana Town, Southern Ethiopia

Trematode infection is a prevalent parasitic disease of livestock that causes one of the major problems leading to a huge economic loss in livestock production. The cross sectional study was conducted from October 2015 to June 2016 at Lemo Woreda and Hossana Town to determine the infection rate, predominant trematode species, fluke burden and severity of liver pathological lesions of sheep slaughtered at Hossana Town, and to assess the direct economic loss due to liver condemnation.

The influence of the type and dose of manure toward growth and development of plants pakcoy mustard (Brassica chinensis L.)

Mustard plants including one type of vegetable leaf that has many benefits in people's lives day to day, so the demand for these commodities is enormous. The type of these vegetables are preferred by the rest of the community that low-income to high-income, patcoy mustard plant so that it takes a relatively high amounts of and continuous improvement. Planting mustard plants in the lowlands on the mineral soil was made one of the alternatives for increasing production plant mustard greens. Mineral soils are less fertile cultivated mustard plants if it will need to give material manure.

The influence of application of organic manures dosage solid and liquid dosage superfertifort against growth and yield of crops of celery

Celery is a vegetable plant grass-shaped spice used as food seasoning and efficacious medicine that lowers high blood pressure, treat hair loss, coping difficult sleep, improve waste water art and strengthen sinew. In terms of its benefits then to get the celery is high and good quality, besides observing the ideal growing, plants also require maintenance, such as the supply of nutrient elements and plants should continue to get sufficient nutrient elements during its growth.

Species composition, frequency and total density of seaweeds

This study was conducted to determine the species composition, frequency and total density of seaweeds found on the island of Nusalaut. There were 33 species of seaweed. Of the 33 species, 15 were from the class of Chlorophyceae (45.5%), 10 species from Rhodophyceae (30.3%), and 9 species from Phaeophyceae (27.3%).Total frequency showed the highest Gracilaria (Rhodopyceae) of 29.63% in Akoon and Titawaii is 20.34%, while Halimeda (Chloropyceae) of 19.60% found on the Nalahia. Highest total frequency Phaeophyceae (Padina) is 12.96% found on the Akoon.

Exploring sprouting and growth response of ixora stem cuttings (ixora cocccinea)

A pot experiment was conducted during 2017-2018 to examine sprouting and growth responses of ixora stem cutting types of and ixora varieties. The cutting 4-6 inches in length of two ixora varieties viz. S.Yellow and N.Grant were taken from well grown plants of ixora. The cuttings included terminal and sub-terminal stem cuttings. The cuttings types viz. C1-Terminal cuttings with two leaves, C2-Terminal cuttings with four leaves, C3-Sub-terminal stem cuttings with two leaves and C4-Sub-terminal stem cuttings with four leaves.

The role of land registers in the expropriation of urban land in South Africa

Scholars often lament that urban areas in post-apartheid South Africa are beset by a shortage of affordable urban residential land and informal settlements.
