In article results of the researches on rare and endangered species distributed at Mil steppe of Kura-Araks lowland of Azerbaijan were given. It was determined that in the research area 20 rare and endangered plant species are distributed. These species belong to 13 families. Orchidaceae family is dominated with 4 species. Species which belong to “Vulnerable” (VU) category (10 species) are dominated. Species in “Near Threatened” (NT) category consist of 6 species and “Endangered” (EN)- 4 species.
In this study, the antimicrobial effects of natural products against a total of 5 standard strains (4 strains of periodontitis-associated bacteria and 1 health indicator bacterium) were measured. The results showed that 6 natural extracts (Angelica gigas, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Acer tegmentosum Maxim., Zanthroxylum piperitum, Cinnamomum verum, and Panax ginseng+Poria cocos Wolf) were found to more effectively inhibit the growth of most of the strains used in this study, as their concentration increases. \nThe minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Angelica gigas(AG), Glycyrrhiza glabra(GG), Acer tegmentosum Maxim.(AT), Zanthroxylum piperitum(ZP), Cinnamomum verum,(CV) and Panax ginseng+Poria cocos Wolf(PP) against Streptococcus mutans (SU) was 2.5, 5, 2.5, 0.63, 1.25 and 2.5 mg/mL respectively, and Zanthroxylum piperitum was found to have a high inhibitory effect. The MIC of Fraxinus shynchophylla Hance(FS), Boswellia carterii(BC) and Lepidium meyenii(LM) against SU was 20, 10 and 20 mg/mL respectively. The MIC of Angelica gigas, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Acer tegmentosum Maxim., Zanthroxylum piperitum, Cinnamomum verum, and Panax ginseng+Poria cocos Wolf against Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG) was 1.25, 2.5, 2.5, 0.63, 1.25 and 5 mg/mL respectively, and Zanthroxylum piperitum was found to have a high inhibitory effect. The MIC of Fraxinus shynchophylla Hance and Boswellia carterii against PG was 10 and 20 mg/mL respectively. \nThe MIC of Angelica gigas, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Acer tegmentosum Maxim., Zanthroxylum piperitum, Cinnamomum verum, and Panax ginseng+Poria cocos Wolf against Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (AA) was 1.25, 5, 5, 2.5, 2.5 and 10 mg/mL respectively, and the Angelica gigas extract was found to have a high inhibitory effect. The MIC of Fraxinus shynchophylla Hance and Boswellia carterii against AA was 20 and 20 mg/mL respectively. It was impossible to observe the MIC of seeds of Aegopodium podagraria and Nipa fruticans wurmb against all the strains tested in this study. Most of the natural products, except extracts of seeds of Aegopodium podagraria and Nipa fruticans wurmb, inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause periodontal diseases, including Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, in a more or less degree. Therefore, it can be concluded that extracts from natural products are effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause oral diseases and thus in preventing or treating oral diseases.
With regard to the image analysis technology by pupil close up photography, fixed image analysis through the pupil change and focus change and time series pattern analysis technology on the video stream are used without analyzing the disease or eyesight, and the technologies that determine changes in eye diseases and the ability of visual function training are used, which is beyond the determination of the objects in ordinary image analysis. \nThrough this study, which is a milestone for analyzing the changes in focus, muscle and the progression of eye disease using images photographed by a device and developing and researching a specialized total eye care system for eye examination, eye training, analysis of eye training concentration in comparison with the conventional medical device for simple visual function training, the authors intend to provide a medical platform that enables the eye disease care platform to be linked with other devices without being limited to a specific device after the development of technology.
The purpose of this study is to assess the treatment efficiency of a bench-scale shipboard advanced water treatment plant that uses a PLC automation system. For this purpose, the bench-scale shipboard advanced water treatment plant that uses a PLC automation system was fabricated and the treatment efficiency of organic and nutrient matters was assessed. The SBR and MBR methods were applied for the fabrication. Artificial wastewater was prepared using C6H12O6, KNO3, and KH2PO4. The proportions of COD, T-N, and T-P were 10:3:1. The experiment results showed that the removal rates of COD, T-N, and T-P were 95.33%, 92.37%, and 88.16% after 80 min of mixing and 40 min of aeration and were 91.33%, 97.87%, and 88.64% after 90 min of mixing and 60 min of aeration. Therefore, 90 min of mixing and 60 min of aeration are considered to be the optimal efficiency when the proportions of the raw water properties are 10:3:1.
