description: Alternative mathematical explorations in quantum computing can be of great scientific interest, especially if they come with penetrating physical insights. In this paper, we present a critical revisitation of our geometric (Clifford) algebras (GAs) application in quantum computing as originally presented in [C. Cafaro and S. Mancini, Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebras 21, 493 (2011)]. Our focus is on testing the usefulness of geometric algebras (GAs) techniques in two applications to quantum computing. First, making use of the geometric algebra of a relativistic configuration space (a.k.a., multiparticle spacetime algebra or MSTA), we offer an explicit algebraic characterization of one- and two-qubit quantum states together with a MSTA description of one- and two-qubit quantum computational gates. In this first application, we devote special attention to the concept of entanglement, focusing on entangled quantum states and two-qubit entangling quantum gates. Second, exploiting the previously mentioned MSTA characterization together with the GA depiction of the Lie algebras SO(3;R) and SU(2;C) depending on the rotor group formalism, we focus our attention to the concept of universality in quantum computing by reevaluating Boykin's proof on the identification of a suitable set of universal quantum gates. At the end of our mathematical exploration, we arrive at two main conclusions. Firstly, the MSTA perspective leads to a powerful conceptual unification between quantum states and quantum operators. More specifically, the complex qubit space and the complex space of unitary operators acting on them merge in a single multivectorial real space. Secondly, the GA viewpoint on rotations based on the rotor group carries both conceptual and computational upper hands compared to conventional vectorial and matricial methods.

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease with presently unknown cure. However, its management involves the reduction of pain, and immunological and biochemicals disorders. Natural plants have been proven to be safe and less cost-effective treatment for arthritis management. The study aimed at evaluating the effects of the aqueous extracts of Cucumis sativus fruits on inflammation and cartilage erosion in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. RA was induced in female wistar rats by injecting formaldehyde (2% v/v in saline solution) into the sub‐plantar region of their left hind paw. Animals were then treated by daily gavage (400 mg/kg bw) of C. sativus aqueous extract or glucosamine/chondroitin (a dietary complement) for 14 days. The weight of the animals and the diameter of the edemas were recorded every 3 days. The rats were sacrificed, and the blood collected for the evaluation of hematological and biochemical parameters (C-reactive protein and plasma Ca2+, Mg2+ levels). The aqueous extract of C. sativus exhibited an enthralling suppression in edema of treated animals at the end of the study with 64.91% of protection like glucosamine/chondroitin. In addition, it increased the levels of lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear cells and significantly reduced C-reactive protein, calcium and magnesium levels when compared to the disease control group. Thus, the current study showed that the aqueous extract of C. sativus possesses anti-arthritic activities making it therefore a promising agent for the management of disorders associated to RA.

description: War's a joke for me and you,
 While we know such dreams are true.
 SIEGFRIED SASSOON
 Out there, we walked, quite friendly up to Death, --
 Sat down and ate beside him, cool and bland, --
 Pardoned his spilling mess-tins in our hand.
 We've sniffed the green thick odour of his breath, --
 Our eyes wept, but our courage didn't writhe.
 He's spat at us with bullets, and he's coughed
 Shrapnel. We chorused if he sang aloft,
 We whistled while he shaved us with his scythe.
 Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
 We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
 No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
 We laughed, -- knowing that better men would come,
 And greater wars: when every fighter brags
 He fights on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

description: The pantropical genus Eugenia belonging to the family Myrtaceae has about 1,000 species distributed mainly in the New World and 13 species of Eugenia reported from Peninsular India. Eugenia rottleriana is a small tree and endemic to South Western Ghats and found in evergreen forests at low altitude. The essential oils from several species of this genus have medicinal properties. Many medicinal plants are frequently used in traditional medicine because of their essential oils have been known to possess biological activity and used for the treatment of microbial infections due to the presence of certain compounds. In the present study we focused on GC/MS chemical profiling, antimicrobial and anti-malarial screening of leaf essential oil of Eugenia rottleriana. In GC/MS analysis, E. rottleriana showed six major and 25 minor compounds. The antimicrobial potential of the essential oil were evaluated by disk diffusion method against selected microorganisms such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. The oil at high concentration (200µg/ml) showed high inhibitory activity against all the test microorganisms and higher zone of inhibition recorded against Candida glabrata. In addition, the different concentrations of essential oil were assayed for larvicidal activity against Anopheles stephensi. All the concentrations showed larvicidal activity after 24hrs exposure of larvae. The current study found that the E. rottleriana essential oil has a commercial potential for antimicrobial and anti-malarial products.

description: In twos and threes, they have not far to roam,
 Crowds that thread eastward, gay of eyes;
 Those seek no further than their quiet home,
 Wives, walking westward, slow and wise.
 Neither should I go fooling over clouds,
 Following gleams unsafe, untrue,
 And tiring after beauty through star-crowds,
 Dared I go side by side with you;
 Or be you in the gutter where you stand,
 Pale rain-flawed phantom of the place,
 With news of all the nations in your hand,
 And all their sorrows in your face.

description: Background: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is one of the commonly used models for the induction of liver injury and screening of the hepatoprotective activity of different drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective activity and possible underlying mechanisms of methanolic and hydroethanolic extracts of Croccus sativus stamens using a model of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in rats. Methods: Methanolic and hydroethanolic extracts was daily orally administered to rats at the doses of 250 mg/kg, prior to double intraperitoneal injection of 1% CCl4 on 7 days and 14 days. Their activities were compared with silymarin (250 mg/kg) for 14 days. Parameters of hepatic and renal function, lipid profile, and oxidative stress were evaluated in rat serum and tissues. Results: The results indicated that CCl4 injection in rats increased plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanin aminotransferase (ALT), and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activities, which were normalized by methanolic, and hydroethanolic pretreatment. In addition, administration of both extracts with CCl4 significantly inhibited alterations of kidney indices in the serum levels of creatinine and urea. Moreover, CCl4 administration increased the lipid peroxidation level (MDA) in tissues that is signifanctly reduced by the Methanolic and hydroethanolic extract of the plant. Methanolic and hydroethanolic treatment improved hepatic antioxidant status, by the elevation of the CAT and GSH level in CCl4‑administered rats. Conclusion: These findings demonstrated the potential effect of Croccus sativus stamens as a protector against liver injury. Mediated possibly by their antioxidant properties. Which are comparable to those of the standard hepatoprotective compound silymarin.

description: Visceral pain is a characteristic complaint of gastrointestinal disorders. Arq Ajeeb (AA), is an Unani pharmacopeial formulation used to treat gastrointestinal pain. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of AA in visceral pain models. Acute toxicity study of AA was done as per OECD guidelines 423. For analgesic activity, Capsaicin-induced visceral and Indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer pain models were used. Adult male Swiss mice were divided into five groups of six each, viz. negative, positive, standard, test A, and B groups. AA administered orally (0.05 and 0.1 ml/kg). In first test, pain was induced by intracolonic administration of capsaicin (200 microliters); spontaneous behavior was observed and referred hyperalgesia tested by Von Frey filament. Gastric ulcer was induced with indomethacin (30mg/kg). The standard control animals were treated with omeprazole (20mg/kg) and test groups received AA as in previous test. Referred hyperalgesia was quantified and mucosal surface was examined for ulceration. AA was taken to GCMS analysis as well. The result of AA was safe at 300 mg/kg. In the capsaicin model, mice treated with tramadol and AA at both doses showed significant reduction in pain behavior (p˂0.01; p˂0.001; p˂0.05) respectively. In indomethacin model, pain threshold in standard, test group A and B increased (p˂0.01; p˂0.001; p˂0.001) at 4 hr, and after 24 hours (p˂0.05; p˂0.05; p˂0.05) with significant ulcer reduction (p˂0.01; p˂0.01; p˂0.01) respectively. The study concluded that AA has profound analgesic and anti-ulcerogenic activities in mice, validating the Unani claims that AA is effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal pain.

description: Thrombus formation in cardiovascular diseases is one of the important mechanisms responsible for death and disability. Plants have long been used as traditional remedies for the treatment of many diseases. In this study, we investigated the antithrombotic, antiaggregant, and anticoagulant activities of flavonoids isolated from Juglans regia root bark. The antithrombotic activity was evaluated on collagen plus epinephrine induced acute pulmonary thromboembolism model of mice and murine platelet aggregation was induced by different agonists. Clotting parameters including activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and thrombin time in the platelet-poor plasma were determined in vitro by using a coagulometer in the presence and absence of flavonoid fractions. Flavonoids extracted from Juglans regia exhibited an antithrombotic activity (80% of protection) by preventing the paralysis or death induced by an intravenous injection of collagen and epinephrine. In addition, these compounds significantly inhibited platelet aggregation and prolonged the plasmatic coagulation time. Flavonoids isolated from Juglans regia exert a potent antithrombotic effect via antiaggregant and anticoagulant actions. Juglans regia could be a precious source of antithrombotic compounds.

description: Lavender (Lavandula dentata (L. d.), Lavandula stoechas (L. s.)), mint (Mentha viridis (M. v.)) and Cistus villosus (C. v.) are plants widely used in traditional medicine due to their sedative, carminative, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. They are present in the south of Morocco in the wild except for mint, which is a cultivated plant. The essential oil content of the dried samples varied in a small range between 1.25 % ml/g to 2.6 % ml/g for lavenders and cistus, but for mint, it shows 5% ml/g. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry determines essential oils chemical composition. The results shown that the essential oil of the leaves of L. d. and L. s. are as a source of camphor. The C. v. essential oil consists of different compounds, mainly alloaromadendrene, β-selinene, α-copaene, (-) - α-bourbonene, g-muurolene and α-muurolene. While M. v. is revealed to be a D-carvone mint. Aromatic plants essential oils show high antioxidant activity: values of IC50DPPH between 0.72 mg / ml and 1.1 mg / ml. Results suggest that essential oils have biological activities, namely antioxidant and antiviral activities of at least the predominant compounds. Hence we are proposing the plants for scientific research as a natural antioxidant and a potential substances for beating COVID-19 virulence and transmission spread.

description: People on the autism spectrum can learn about autism from various sources, likely differing in the information, portrayal, and discussion they offer. The present study investigates where autistic people learn about autism, and whether their information source is associated with their level of autism knowledge, perceptions of stigma, and development and expression of an autism identity. A survey of 198 Australian adults with an autism diagnosis showed that learning about autism from conventional sources (e.g., professionals, parents) was associated with more internalised stigma, lower endorsement of special abilities and autism identity, whereas online blogs and social media showed the opposite pattern as well as more accurate knowledge of autism. The findings raise questions about how authoritative sources of information discuss autism.

Eos were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC/MS analysis. A total of 27, 25, and 15 compounds were identified respectively in needles, cones and branches. All analyzed oils were rich in hydrocarbonated monoterpenes (32.57-90.48%). α-pinene (25.11-80.95%), β-pinene (1.86-33.12%) and β-caryophyllene (0.28-21.34%) were the dominant compounds in the volatile oils. All tested samples exhibited interesting antioxidant activities. The phytotoxicity of Eos was evaluated against tow weeds: Sinapis arvensis L. and Phalaris canariensis L. and one cultivated specie Triticum tirgidum L. The antifungal activity was investigated in vitro using five targeted fungal strains. Tested samples were differently effective toward tested plants and target fungi depending on the variability of their chemical compositions. All sample oils showed a significant phytotoxic effects and needles oils exhibited the highest herbicidal effects against all tested species. The highest fungitoxic properties were obtained with needles and cones Eos against all fungi.

description: Now slows the beat of Summer's dancing pulse;
 Her voice has weak and quaverous undertones;
 Cold agues in her hectic limbs convulse;
 Show palsies creep into her sapless bones.
 Ah! is she falling into Death so soon, so soon?
 Ev'n so! and now the peerless forest green
 Is streaked with silvery pallor of decay.
 As a beauteous woman's locks may lose their sheen
 Through fearful dreams, and turn too early grey,
 So Summer paleth now, and moaneth in her swoon.
 The expressions of her once-rich mind, and flowers,
 Are feeble-born, else rank unnaturally;
 And whoso looks on leafy garden bowers,
 Fresh bloodstains every misty morn may see,
 Split from her veins by Winter's lance, and conflict-strewn.
 My power of life, though youthful, also sinks;
 Before my time I bear a hoary head;
 And chill airs strike my brow, that blow, methinks,
 Straight from the icy cavern of the dead.
 Night darkens round; my day shall know no afternoon.
 O never mourn, my brothers! well ye know
 These crimson stains shall vanish from the trees;
 Washed by the precious ointment of the snow.
 A little while, and drowsy Earth's disease,
 Shall feel the healing quickness of another June.
 I, only mourn, because I cannot tell
 What spring-renewing wakes the sleep of Men.
 I do but know, (ah! this I know too well)
 I shall not see the same sweet life again,
 Nor the dear, Sun, nor stars, nor tender moon.

description: Search and recommendation (S&R) are the two most important scenarios in e-commerce. The majority of users typically interact with products in S&R scenarios, indicating the need and potential for joint modeling. Traditional multi-scenario models use shared parameters to learn the similarity of multiple tasks, and task-specific parameters to learn the divergence of individual tasks. This coarse-grained modeling approach does not effectively capture the differences between S&R scenarios. Furthermore, this approach does not sufficiently exploit the information across the global label space. These issues can result in the suboptimal performance of multi-scenario models in handling both S&R scenarios. To address these issues, we propose an effective and universal framework for Unified Search and Recommendation (USR), designed with S&R Views User Interest Extractor Layer (IE) and S&R Views Feature Generator Layer (FG) to separately generate user interests and scenario-agnostic feature representations for S&R. Next, we introduce a Global Label Space Multi-Task Layer (GLMT) that uses global labels as supervised signals of auxiliary tasks and jointly models the main task and auxiliary tasks using conditional probability. Extensive experimental evaluations on real-world industrial datasets show that USR can be applied to various multi-scenario models and significantly improve their performance. Online A/B testing also indicates substantial performance gains across multiple metrics. Currently, USR has been successfully deployed in the 7Fresh App.

description: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) caused more than 15 % mortality worldwide. Spike (S) protein has recently been regarded as a suitable target for drug design. The present in silico docking study was designed to evaluate the effect of potent bioactive molecule citral present in essential oils of lemon grass plant leaves against Spike (S) protein from SARS-CoV-2. Till date there is no work is undertaken on in-silico analysis of these compounds against Spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. In the present study, GC-FID based aroma profile, molecular docking studies were conducted by using Patchdock analysis. Protein Interactions Calculator was used for protein interactions. In-silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) profile was also studied. GC-FID revealed citral as major compound in lemon grass oil. The calculated parameters such as docking score indicated effective binding of citral to COVID-19 S-protein. Interactions results indicated that, Spike (S) protein / citral complexes forms hydrophobic interactions. In-silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) studies provided guidelines and mechanistic scope for identification of potent anti-COVID 19 drug. Therefore, essential oil from lemon grass oil may represent potential herbal treatment to act as COVID-19 Spike (S) protein inhibitor.

description: This review investigates, the corrosion inhibitive action Acid extract of Solanum tuberosum was on mild steel in 1M hydrochloric acid (HCl) and H2SO4 media by weight loss measurements (WL) as chemical measurements and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as electrochemicals ones. The study indicates that as acid concentration increases corrosion rate increases. The corrosion inhibition efficiency increases with increase in concentration of extract. The obtained results reveal that acid extract of Solanum tuberosum was act as an efficient inhibitor.The adsorption of Solanum tuberosum extract obeyed Temkin adsorption isotherm. The S. tuberosum extract shows a good inhibition efficiency in H2SO4 medium than in HCl medium. This may be due to the availability of more sites on the metal surface in H2SO4 medium due to a lower adsorption of sulfate ions on the steel surface.Cathodic and anodic polarization curves show that Solanum tuberosum extract is a mixed-type inhibitor

description: Artemisia campestris L. subsp. glutinosa is a plant growing in Morocco and widely used in traditional medicine as a beneficial remedy for the digestive system. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antiulcer activity of aqueous extract (AEAc) and ethanolic extract of this plant (EEAc) using an experimental model not previously tested against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and acute toxicity in mice. The gastric lesion was assessed by ulcer area, ulcer index, prevention index, histopathological examination, and malondialdehyde (MDA) determination. Administered of AEAc and EEAc at a dose of 100, 200, 400 mg/kg before ethanol ingestion significantly inhibited gastric ulcers. AEAc and EEAc induced a significant decrease in the ulcer area compared to the control group. The preventive index of different doses of both extracts is almost similar to that of Omeprazole. These results were confirmed by a decrease in mucosal thickness in the group treated with the plant in the histological study and the decrease in MDA level in the group treated with the plant compared to the control ulcer group. The acute toxicity study revealed no abnormal sign or death to the mice treated with 4g/kg and 8 g/kg of both extracts. These findings confirm the traditional use of Artemisia campestris L. subsp. glutinosa as a gastro-protective agent.

description: Essential oils of plants contain many bioactive molecules and have recently a considerable place of application in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. The aim of this work is to study antibacterial and antiproliferative activities of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Essential oil was extracted from dried plant by hydrodistillation, and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was tested by micro-atmosphere technique and agar diffusion against seven strains bacteria. The antiproliferative activity was determined by viability test against P3X63Ag8 myeloma cell in presence of various amount of essential oil. The morphological alterations were searched after staining of treated cells by le May-Grünwald-Giemsa. Our results showed that the major component detected in R. officinalis essential oil is 1.8-cineole (42%). This essential oil revealed an important antibacterial activity against resistant bacteria. The viability test showed a cytotoxic effect of essential oil on P3X63Ag8 myeloma cell. The morphological of the treated tumor cells analysis revealed a cellular lysis with membrane rupture, a hypertrophy and chromatin condensation. In conclusion, the R. officinalis essential oil could have an antibacterial activity against resistant bacteria and antiprolioferative activity against myeloma cells.

description: This work aimed to evaluate and to compare the antioxidant potential between essential oils (EOs) and methanolic extracts (MEs) of Anthemis tenuisecta, Cladanthus arabicus Cass., Ismelia carinata Schousb., and Thymus broussonetii Boiss subsp. broussonetii collected from Morocco. The EOs used in this study were isolated by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The MEs were obtained by methanol maceration. The main compounds of EOs were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The MEs of the four plant species were tested for total phenolics and total flavonoids. The in vitro antioxidant activity of EOs and MEs was carried out using diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The antioxidant activity of MEs showed high correlations with phenolic compounds. For both fractions, the best IC50 values were given by T. broussonetii. The MEs revealed signiﬁcantly (p ≤ 0.05) better antioxidant activity than EOs. The results suggest that A. tenuisecta, C. arabicus, I. carinata, and T. broussonetii may be potential sources of natural antioxidants.

description: So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went,
 And took the fire with him, and a knife.
 And as they sojourned both of them together,
 Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father,
 Behold the preparations, fire and iron,
 But where the lamb, for this burnt-offering?
 Then Arbam bound the youth with belts and straps,
 And builded parapets and trenches there
 And strach�d forth the knife to slay his son.
 When lo! and Angel called him out of heaven,
 Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad,
 Neither do anything to him, thy son.
 Behold! Caught in a thicket by its horns,
 A Ram. Offer the Ram of Pride instead.
 But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
 And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

description: The present study concerns the antifungal activity of essential oils (EO) of four aromatic plants: Salvia officinalis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Cymbopogon citratus and Lavandula dentate. It was carried out on the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.Albedinis. The essential oils were extracted from the aerial parts of the plants by the hydrodistillation method. The test was carried out using the method of direct contact with the fungus at different concentrations of essential oils (0.25%, 1% and 2.5%). The results show that the essential oils of lavender and lemon grass exert a strong antifungal activity on the fungus at a concentration of 2.5 g/l for the essential oil of lavender and at a concentration of 1g/l for the essential oil of lemon grass. On the other hand, the two essential oils of sage and rosemary proved to have a lesser impact on the tested strain. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were observed in the four essential oils including, MIC(Rosmary)= 0.2 g/l, MIC(Sage)= 2.5 g/l, MIC(Lavender)= 0.6 g/ l and MIC(Lemon grass)= 0.5g/l. The minimum lethal concentrations (MLC) were observed only in lavender essential oil, with MLC(Lavander)= 1.75g/l and in lemongrass essential oil, with MLC(Lemon grass)= 0.95 g/l .
