Micromorphology And Anatomy

<p>The aim of this paper is investigating the micromorphological properties of fruits and seeds in the food and medicinal plant <em>Momordica charantia</em> L. (Cucurbitaceae). A detailed anatomical description on cross-sections of immature fruits and seeds is reported for the first time.</p><p>The fruit is characterized by a thin epicarp, a multi-layered mesocarp and by an inconspicuous endocarp. The seed-coat displays a pattern of organization in five tissues. These endomorphic features were compared and discussed with the results of previous investigations on other representatives of the genus <em>Momordica</em>. Since the structure of seed-coat is considered diacritical in the taxonomy of the genus, this report may offer a set of additional character useful for the characterization of the genus.</p>

This study focuses on the characterization of morphological and anatomical traits of Orthosiphon stamineus which belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Orthosiphon stamineus, better known as “Misai Kucing” or “cats whiskers” by the locals, contained active phenolics compounds such as flavanoids. Despite its wide usage as a medicinal plant, information regarding Orthosiphon stamineus specific developmental stages is relatively scarce. Furthermore, to date, no anatomical data of this plant is available. Therefore, this study aims to systematically identify the developmental stages and its anatomy which may provide more insight to its medical application. The result showed some distinct morphological and anatomical characteristics. In the morphological study, it was observed that Orthosiphon stamineus is a herbal shrub with well-developed creeping rootstock. The leaves are simple, green, and arranged in opposite pairs. The stem is approximately 28 cm in height at the stage (12 days). The flowers have long wispy stamens shaped with pale purple color. In anatomical study, the cross sections of the stem for tow stage (32) and (62) days of this plant were examined. All the detailed systematic study of this plant has not worked earlier.

First Time

The micro- and nanofocus X-ray scattering (MINAXS) beamline of PETRA III is equipped with two consecutively arranged endstations, the last of which is the nanofocus endstation. The first in-beam commissioning of the experimental equipment was successfully performed at the end of 2010, using two-dimensionally confining hard X-ray silicon waveguides with cross sections of 50 nm × 50 µm to 50 nm × 2 µm for nanobeam generation. A full characterization of the waveguide-generated beams was performed, giving values for the beam geometries, the transmission efficiencies of the waveguides and absolute fluxes. Along with these results a detailed description of the setup is presented in this paper. A first high-resolution nanodiffraction experiment on a nanocrystalline TiN hard coating was performed to verify the resolution of the nanodiffraction setup and to reveal the local gradients across the blasted TiN coating. In conclusion, the main concern is the availability of the nanobeam, how it was generated and the fact that a beam out of a two-dimensionally confining waveguide was used for diffraction experiments for the first time.

ABSTRACTExamination of capacitance transients arising from the emission or capture of electrons at a charged GaAs grain boundary reveal for the first time the existence of discrete interface levels. The position of these levels in the bandgap and their associated capture cross sections are determined from the transients.

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a type of medicinal plant that is widely used by the public. Charantin is one of the nutritious compounds contained in bitter melon. Charantin compounds can be used to reduce glucose levels in the blood so that it is widely used as a diabetes medicine. The research aims to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of amprotab as a desintegrant on the physical properties of Pare (Momordica charantia L.) extract tablets has been conducted. Viscous extract was made by maceration method by using ethanol 96%. Tablets made by wet granulation method in two different desintegrant concentration of 9,6% and 18%. Dried granule tested with flowability, angle of repose and indeks of compressibility. Tablet evaluation includes uniformity of weight test, friability test, hardness test and disintegration test. The results showed that formula with amprotab as desintegration at 9,6 % concentration was able to produce tablets that met the requirements. Variation in concentration of desintegrant material take effect on the uniformity of weight, hardness friability and disintegration time.
