Vogel Blok 158X225 171013.Indd What types of hierarchies can be identified in terminologies? Do all hierarchies branch? Does the form of sister terms follow a similar pattern? Are terms in natural sciences formed differently from those in social sciences? Do lexical hierarchies based on classes and members have a different size from those based on whole-part Terminologies, relations? Do individual languages prefer different morphological structures of scientific terms? At which level are Latin and Greek Lexical Hierarchies components more frequent, at the superordinate or the subordinate? Do English and Czech differ substantially in this respect? Are and other they more similar structurally in biological or in economic terminology? Can a terminological level of a taxon be guessed from Configurations the morphological form of its name? Do alternative terms exist for one concept? Do some terms have several meanings? Do all terms have clear equivalents in other languages? Why do irregularities and gaps occur in naming in one language and between languages? What semantic relations do modifiers express towards heads in compound Radek Vogel terms? Is the meaning of such components explicit or implicit? These and similar questions might be asked when dealing with terminologies of scientific disciplines. With the help of numerous examples, tables and extensive reference to lexico-semantic theories, the book Terminologies, Lexical Hierarchies and other Configurations attempts to answer such questions or at least shed more light onto the vast and varied area of scientific terminologies. It is certain, however, that many new questions and potential explanations will arise in the minds of its readers. and other Configurations Hierarchies Lexical Terminologies, Terminologies, lexical hierarchies and other configurations hierarchies lexical Terminologies, Radek Vogel Radek Foreign Languages: Linguistics and Literature Studies Masaryk University Brno 2017 Terminologies, Lexical Hierarchies and other Configurations Radek Vogel Masaryk University Brno 2017 Edition: Foreign Languages: Linguistics and Literature Studies Volume 3 Reviewers: doc.

[email protected] Hallingbäck, T. (2002). Globally widespread bryophytes, but rare in Europe. Portugaliae Acta Biol. 20: 11-24. The need to save not only globally threatened species, but also regionally rare and declining species in Europe is discussed. One rationale of red-listing species regionally is to be preventive and to counteract the local species extinction process. There is also a value in conserving populations at the edge of their geographical range and this is discussed in terms of genetic variation. Another reason is the political willingness of acting locally rather than globally. Among the rare and non-endemic species in Europe, some are rare and threatened both in Europe and elsewhere, others are more common outside Europe and a third group is locally common within Europe but rare in the major part. How much conservation effort should be put on these three European non-endemic species groups is briefly discussed, as well as why bryophytes are threatened. A discussion is given, for example, of how a smaller total distribution range, decreasing density of localities, smaller sites, less substrate and lower habitat quality affect the survival of sensitive species. This is also compared with species that have either high or low dispersal capacity or different longevity of either vegetative parts or spores. Examples from Sweden are given. Key words: Bryophytes, rarity, Europe, dispersal capacity, Sweden. Hallingbäck, T. (2002).

PAZHOUHI Fertility and Infertility Research Center, Health Technology Institute, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran Abstract – Rosa canina L. (Rosacea family) is an ornamental plant with erect prickly shrub and fragrant pink or white flowers, grown for decorative purposes in gardens and landscape designs projects. It is native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. Its fruits are extensively used worldwide in food preparation. It is traditionally proposed as a dietary supplement and herbal remedy for the prevention and treatment of different human diseases. This review aimed to inves- tigate the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of R. canina in traditional medicine and sci- entific papers. Results from numerous studies indicated that this plant owned many biological po- tencies, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, pain reduction, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, neuroprotective, genoprotective, anti-obesity, skin-whitening, and anti-biotic resistance reversal activity as well as exerting a positive influence on the osteoarthritis, anxiety, depression, recognition memory, urinary and reproductive systems disorders, and neutrophil respiratory burst. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of action for these properties is not fully recognized. Due to the lack of toxicity and side effects, this plant has been considered as a valuable complementary drug for various diseases. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm the reported promising experimental effects in clinical use. KEYWORDS: Rosa canina, Anti-oxidant, Anti-cancer, Anti-diabetes, Osteoarthritis.

  • Morton Arboretum Bulletin Popular of Information
    VOL. 31.No.4 APRIL, 1956 MORTON ARBORETUM JOY MORTON· FOUNDER BULLETIN OF LIS LE, ILLINOIS POPULAR INFORMATION THE ORNAMENTAL PRUNUS, AN APPRAISAL The genus Prunus which includes the Almonds, Apricots, Cherries, Peaches and Plums constitutes one of the most important subdivisions of the Rose (Rosaceae) Family, not only from an economic standpoint but ornamentally as well. And, with the fruit value obvious to all, our interest in this appraisal is largely concerned with the latter point, the group's aesthetic qualifications. Floral effectiveness and ornamental foliage accounts for the popularity of a majority of the species included, with showy fruit, decorative bark, picturesque stature and miscellaneous lesser attractions providing the additional interests. Trees Two very hardy Prunus share the distinction of being the first trees in the Arboretum to leaf out in the spring. These are the closely related flaky barked Amur Cherry, (Prumts Maackii), from Korea and Man­ churia and the hybrid Meyer Chokecherry (P. Meyeri) with smooth, darker colored bark. Both are low branched round headed trees (to 45 ft.) whose leaf buds responding to the first sign of warmth sometimes break into leaf in late March or early April. The floral display usually does not come until later in the month, when pendulous racemes of small, very fragrant flowers transform the trees into bouquets of white. Earliest bloom is produced by the dainty David's Peach, 11 davidianan, slender branched, willow-like small tree from China, which after a mild winter may open its fragile pink blooms before March is over. Another bud tender, but sturdier appearing tree, is the Ansu Apricot (P.

The main purpose of this study is to obtain specimens, seeds and living collections with passport data for the potential use. This exploration was the third of our whole research regarding the investigation of the flora of eastern Asia. The expedition was carried out by a team of scientists from T. B. Lee Herbarium, Seoul National University (SNUA), and the Institute of Botany in Beijing (PE). This cooperation insured involvement by both Chinese and Korean experts in all targeted taxonomic groups, and was essential to successful execution of field studies in China. Field survey was carried out two times in July and September, 2004. From our expedition to western Sichuan, we could visited evergreen broad-leaved and deciduous forests mix (1,800 to 2,500 m), subalpine and alpine conifers [2,500 to 3,200 m; its mountain valleys abundant in spruces, firs and pines, form the (somewhat overlogged) major wood resource for Sichuan], alpine shrublands and meadows (3,200 to 4,500 m) and alpine rock vegetation (above 4,500 m).

  • THE BETTER ORIENTAL CHERRIES Is Always Much Interest in the Oriental Flowering Cherries at This Time Therethroughout the Eastern United States
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR I~1FORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 10 AYRIL 28, I9aO NUMBER 3 THE BETTER ORIENTAL CHERRIES is always much interest in the oriental flowering cherries at this time THEREthroughout the eastern United States. In Washington, l’hiladelphia, New York and other eastern cities extensive plantings of them can be seen in late April when they first burst into bloom, for the flowers have the most desirable trait of appearing before the leaves (in the case of most single flowered forms) or with the leaves in the case of the double flowered forms. Certainly in no cases are the flowers hidden by the fohage! In New England there are some that are perfectly hardy, some that are hardy in all but the most severe winters, and others which should not be grown at all, either because they are tender, or be- cause they are similar in flower to some of the better species and varieties. The Arnold Arboretum has been responsible for the introduction of many of these oriental trees and has planted numerous varieties over the years. Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson and others have been outstanding in the study and introduction of many of these plants, so it may prove helpful to gar- deners in New England to review some information about these plants at this t~me, as they come into flower. The Sargent Cherry is the tallest of all, being a standard tree up to 75 feet in height, although m this country few trees have exceeded 50 feet.
