helianthus verticillatus/dental caries

We present a 1.16-μm-radius disk cavity with ultrahigh quality (Q) factor by embedding the disk into a sunflower-type circular photonic crystal (CPC). The bandgap of the CPC reduces the bending loss of the whispering-gallery mode of the disk, leading to a simulated Q of 10(7), at least an order of

We investigated the effect of Helianthus tuberosus agglutinin (HTA) on neutrophil migration in vivo and in vitro. The role of resident cells in this effect was analyzed. Peritonitis was induced by injecting stimuli into rat (150-200 g) peritoneal cavities, and in vitro neutrophil chemotaxis was

The three-dimensional structure in aqueous solution of SFA-8, a 2S albumin 103-residue protein from seeds of sunflower (Helianthus anuus L.), has been determined by NMR methods. An almost complete (1)H resonance assignment was accomplished from analysis of two-dimensional (2D) COSY and 2D TOCSY

Objectives: We aimed at the high-resolution examination of the oral microbiome depending on oil pulling, compared it with saline pulling, and analyzed whether the method is capable of reducing the overall microbial burden of the oral

UNASSIGNED The pathways whereby foliar-applied nutrients move across the leaf surface remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the pathways by which foliar-applied Zn moves across the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) leaf surface, considering the potential importance of the cuticle,
