Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival and Changes in Germination Response of Rumex obtusifolius Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis during Burial at Three Soil DepthsShiro TsuyuzakiTo investigate patterns in seed germination and survival at three different soil depths over a long time span, seeds of Rumex obtusifolius, Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis were examined as a function of season (spring, autumn) and soil depth (3, 10, 30 cm). Buried seeds were exhumed after 3 years and subjected to two different temperature treatments. These were gradually … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Nopalea cochenillifera Pad ExtractsR. Gomez-Flores, P. Tamez-Guerra, R. Tamez-Guerra et al.Effectiveness of botanical treatments has been recognized by many, but scientific validation on the beneficial use of plants is scarce. Nopalea pads are probably native to Mexico or Central America and are used for human consumption and for medicinal purposes. In this study, in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of fresh and dried Nopalea cochenillifera (NC) were investigated. MICs of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,744 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon Destructive Tests of Structural Bonds by Guided Ultrasonic Waves: Effect of a Surface Pretreatment or a Localized DefectValentina Vlasie, Martine RousseauThe aim of this study was to propose a non destructive method to test the mechanical quality of a bond aluminium/epoxy/aluminium. Thus, for each aluminium/epoxy interface, an intermediate interface modelling between a simple geometrical interface and an interphase (3D material medium), i.e. a 2D material medium. In order to describe the surface stresses, we introduce the surface free energy (the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,883 accessesView PDF Cite
