SEASONAL AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS OF CLERODANE DITERPENES AND GLYCOSYLATED FLAVONOIDS IN TWO VARIETIES OF CASEARIA SYLVESTRIS SW. (SALICACEAE)

Seasonal and circadian rhythms of clerodane diterpenes and glycosylated flavonoids in two varieties of Casearia sylvestris Sw. (Salicaceae)

Casearia sylvestris Sw.(Salicaceae) is noted for its morphological and chemical plasticity and pharmacological properties.The present study investigates two of its varieties: C.sylvestris var.sylvestris, predominant in dense and humid forests and ecotones and characterized by clerodane diterpenes; and C.sylvestris var.lingua, mainly found in xeric

AERODYNAMIC LOAD OF AN AIRCRAFT WITH A HIGHLY ELASTIC WING

In this article, a method for calculation of air loads of an aircraft with an elastic wing is presented.The method can predict a redistribution of air loads when the elastic wing venus tops and blouses deforms.Unlike the traditional Euler or Navier-Stokes CFD to FEM coupling, the method uses 3D panel method as a source of aerodynamic data.This make

Comprehensive analysis of chromosomal mobile genetic elements in the gut microbiome reveals phylum-level niche-adaptive gene pools.

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drive extensive horizontal transfer in the gut microbiome.This transfer could benefit human health by conferring new metabolic capabilities to commensal microbes, or it could threaten human health by spreading antibiotic resistance genes to pathogens.Despite their biological importance and medical relevance, MGEs from
