An appraisal on the ethnobotany and antimicrobial activity of botanicals used for managing plant diseases in South Africa
No full textIncreased food insecurity caused by factors such as plant pests and pathogens has prompted the use of botanicals
as alternative control agents. In this review, the ethnobotany and antimicrobial effect of botanicals used for the
management of plant diseases in South Africa were critically assessed. Electronic databases were accessed for
relevant scientific literature that met the inclusion criteria. The systematic assessment yielded 16 studies that
generated an inventory of 66 plant species (44 families) that are used in managing microbial-related plant
diseases. The dominant plant families were Fabaceae and Solanaceae with each represented by five plant species.
Antifungal activity was the only assay-type recorded for evaluating the plant species while the microplate
dilution method (62.5%) was the most used technique. The leaves (87%) were the most common plant part that
have been evaluated for antifungal activity, while acetone (69%) was the most popular solvent used for
extracting the plant materials. Approximately 80% of the screened plants demonstrated promising antifungal
activity against phytopathogens. For instance, the acetone extract of Breonadia salicina leaves had significant
antifungal activity against Penicillium janthinellum (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, MIC = 0.08 mg/ml),
while the acetone extract of Markhamia obtusifolia leaves displayed strong antifungal activity against Aspergillus
f
lavus (MIC of 0.08 mg/ml) and Fusarium verticilloides (MIC of = 0.08 mg/ml). Breonadia salicina, Harpephyllum
caffrum, Lantana camara, Moringa oleifera, Tagetes minuta and Vangueria infausta were identified as the most
screened plants, showing promising antifungal activity against the highest number of phytopathogens (at least 3
studies reporting =2 pathogens). Among the tested phytopathogens, the genus Fusarium (69%) was the most
tested fungal strain. Overall, South Africa has limited ethnobotanical studies targeting botanicals with potential
to manage microbial-related plant diseases. In addition, more effort should be directed on antimicrobial activity
studies relating to the other phytopathogens such as bacteria and viruses as they are cause substantial crop loses
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
