Volatile constituents of flowering twig oil
2004
Summary The chemical constituents of the volatile oil of mature flowering twigs of wild Hyptis swaveolens growing widely in northern India were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Forty one compounds consisting of 77.75% of the oil were identified. The major constituents of the oil were sabinene (14.18%), β-caryophyllene (12.52%), caryophyllene oxide (10.50%), abietatriene (6.42%), terpinen-4-ol (4.88%), limonene (4.42%), cis -sabinene hydrate (3.52%), spathulenol (3.14%), α-terpinolene (2.75%), β-pinene (2.42%), p -cymen-8-ol (1.76%), trans -sabinene hydrate (1.33%) and abietadiene (1.01%).
Nimbolide inhibits 2D and 3D prostate cancer cells migration, affects microtubules and angiogenesis and suppresses B-RAF/p.ERK-mediated in vivo tumor…
2021
Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prominent malignancy among men worldwide. PCa cells have a high tendency to metastasize to various distant organs, and this activity is the main cause of PCa mortality. Nimbolide is a promising phytochemical constituent of neem Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae). Previous studies showed that nimbolide exhibited potent anticancer activity however, its role against PCa tumorigenesis has not been fully elucidated. Purpose Our work aims to explore the role of nimbolide in regulating the essential tumor-associated processes involved in the metastatic cascade in PCa cells. Study design Cytotoxicity assay, wound healing and spheroid invasion assays…
Resolving the locus of cAsE aLtErNaTiOn effects in visual word recognition: Evidence from masked priming.
2015
Determining the factors that modulate the early access of abstract lexical representations is imperative for the formulation of a comprehensive neural account of visual-word identification. There is a current debate on whether the effects of case alternation (e.g., tRaIn vs. train) have an early or late locus in the word-processing stream. Here we report a lexical decision experiment using a technique that taps the early stages of visual-word recognition (i.e., masked priming). In the design, uppercase targets could be preceded by an identity/unrelated prime that could be in lowercase or alternating case (e.g., table-TABLE vs. crash-TABLE; tAbLe-TABLE vs. cRaSh-TABLE). Results revealed that…
Subject case alternation in Latvian and Estonian existential clauses
2019
In Latvian and Estonian existential clauses, the subject’s case form alternates between nominative vs. genitive (in Latvian) and nominative vs. partitive (in Estonian). This article is a study of the case-alternation systems of existential clauses and related clause types, locative and possessive clauses in these languages. It includes a corpusbased analysis of Latvian existential clauses that is being compared with Estonian corpus-based findings on similar clause types in Estonian. *** Subjekti kaandevaheldus lati ja eesti keele eksistentsiaallausetes Nii eesti kui ka lati keeles esineb subjekti kaandevaheldust. Lati keeles saab subjekt olla lisaks nominatiivile ka genitiivis, eesti keeles…
Anatomy of a grammatical tone
2018
Abstract“Induced Creaky Tone (ICT)” is a grammatical tone in Burmese. It is the result of a process by which Low or High tone is changed into Creaky tone. This alternation is multifunctional, and one of its functions is possessor marking. This paper demonstrates several well-distinguished conditions of different nature and different domain for this tonal alternation. ICT is primarily induced by syntax, varies due to pragmatic factors, occurs only on the shared right boundary of phrases and stem forms, and its phonological condition has a domain stretching to the left boundary of the prosodic word. A comprehensive account of such conditions provides the basis for a grammatical analysis which…
A quantitative survey of N Prep N constructions in Romance languages and prepositional variability
2018
The distinction between syntagmatic compounds of the type N Prep N, such as Fr. jouet d’enfant, and nominal syntagms of the type N Prep N, such as the partially equivalent Fr. jouet pour enfants, remains unclear and vague. This is mainly because the lexical and syntactic status of syntagmatic compounds still is controversial. In some cases, as in jouet d’enfant and jouet pour enfants, partial equivalent syntagmatic compounds and nominal syntagms may coexist and underlie a specific variation and alternation. In other cases, such as Pt. bracelete de aço and bracelete em aço, two variants of a syntagmatic compound may alternate and coexist. The first part of this paper provides an overview of …
Veus de frontera : «els altres catalans» d?ara
2018
L’estudi que proposem se centra en l’anàlisi d’algunes de les veus migrants de la literatura catalana actual, enteses com aquelles que se situen entre dues cultures, en la frontera entre allò que és conegut i desconegut, en els marges del que els seus protagonistes són i no són; una literatura que no narra epopeies, sinó proeses individuals, sovint relacionades amb l’estat d’ànim generat a partir de la reescriptura de la pròpia personalitat. És en aquest sentit que el treball que presentem cerca una aproximació a l’alteritat a partir d’alguns dels textos de Saïd El Kadaoui, Najat El Hachmi, Agnès Agboton i Francesc Serés. Totes elles veus de frontera que resulten cada vegada més comunes, mé…
Aspectes de la transitivitat en els inicis del català modern
2019
En aquest estudi de corpus hem volgut fer una primera aproximació a diversos aspectes de la transitivitat, entesa com a fenomen amb diversos vessants, en els textos corresponents a l’inici del català modern (segle XVII, amb un èmfasi especial en la primera meitat de segle). Hem tractat, concretament, el cas de diversos verbs que presenten un comportament vacil·lant entre l’ús transitiu i l’ús intransitiu, i ens hem acostat a aquest fenomen des del vessant del marcatge diferencial d’objecte, atès que aquest règim vacil·lant és un factor que pot crear confusió a l’hora d’analitzar l’extensió dels objectes directes introduïts per a (v. § 2). A continuació, i encara mantenint el marcatge difere…
Between distance and privacy: the enunciation of the urban space in Vicent Andrés Estellés
2018
L’article analitza el tractament i la presència de la ciutat en les obres de Vicent Andrés Estellés en funció de l’acostament o la llunyania que el jo poètic hi estableix. Les obres estudiades no remeten a cap període de producció concret, sinó que es troben disseminades al llarg de tota la trajectòria del poeta a causa de la presència constant que l’espai hi té. Ens centrarem, doncs, a estudiar les dues maneres que el poeta té de representar la ciutat: la que la configura com una alteritat observada pel jo poètic i la que la practica des de la proximitat. Tot fent referència als diferents indrets significatius que configuren la identitat del jo poètic. This paper analyses how Vicent Andrés…
Association of ADHD with genetic variants in the 5'-region of the dopamine transporter gene: evidence for allelic heterogeneity.
2008
Contains fulltext : 69953.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Multiple studies have reported an association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the 10-repeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1). Yet, recent meta-analyses of available data find little or no evidence for this association; although there is strong evidence for heterogeneity between datasets. This pattern of findings could arise for several reasons including the presence of relatively rare risk alleles on common haplotype backgrounds or the functional interaction of two or more loci within the g…
