Calendula (English Marigold, Pot Marigold, Calendula Officinalis L.)
Calendula (English marigold, pot marigold, Calendula officinalis L.) Nancy W. Callan, Mal P. Westcott, Susan Wall-MacLane, and James B. Miller Western Agricultural Research Center Montana State University Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) is an annual with bright yellow or orange daisy-like flowers. The flowers are harvested while in full bloom and dried for use as a medicinal or culinary herb. The entire flower heads or the petals alone are used. An industrial oil may be expressed from the seeds and an absolute oil is obtained from the flowers. Laying chickens may be fed orange calendula flowers to give the egg yolks a deep yellow color. Calendula is a fast-growing annual that is easy to cultivate. It may be direct-seeded in the field and begins to flower in about two months. Harvest of calendula is time-consuming because the flowers form over a long period of time and individual flowers mature quickly. Overmature flowers are undesirable in a herbal product. Frequent hand harvest is necessary to obtain the highest quality product, but some mechanization of harvest may be possible for a lower- grade product or for seed for industrial use. Western Agricultural Research Center Two cultivars of calendula, 'Resina' and 'Erfurter Orangefarbige,' were direct-seeded on May 15, 1998, and May 18, 1999, at 5 lb/a in six-row plots 8 ft long, with rows 18" apart and four replications. Final stand of Resina was 3.3 (1998) and 4.6 (1999) plants/ft and of Erfurter Orangefarbige was 5.5 and 3.9 plants/ft. Flower heads were plucked from the plants by hand and air-dried out of direct sunlight. -
272 Development of Herbal Vaginal Gel Formulation
DEVELOPMENT OF HERBAL VAGINAL GEL FORMULATION AND TECHNOLOGY Nkazana Malambo National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Introduction. The herbal vaginal gel extracted from herbal material can be used to treat bacterial vaginosis, vaginal dryness caused by yeast infection and/or in women with experiencing post-menopausal stage. This medicine of local action will quick up the treatment and because it possesses plant material, this is an advantage on the therapeutic effect. The composition of herbal vaginal gel was formulated at Industrial Phamacy department. The research work was supervised by Associate Professor Mansky A.A. and Associate Professor Sichkar A.A. Aim. The aim is to successfully formulate a gel that will have optimal healing properties for bacterial vaginosis infections. Materials and methods. Tea tree oil (melaleuca alternifolia), sage oil (salvia officinalis), calendula oil (calendula officinalis). Results and discussion. Among the medicinal plant material that we will use to make the gel for vaginal vaginosis are sage, tea tree oil and calendula. Pot marigold or C. officinalis, calendula comes from the latin word calendae ‘’little calendar’’. It is from the asteraceae family with genus of 15 to 20 species traced way back to ancient Egypt to have rejuvinating properties. It has great anti-inflammatory action, inflamed and itchy skin conditions. Bacterial vaginosis main side effect is unpleasant fish - like vaginal odor, discharge when present sometimes appears white or grey and thin in appearance. Tea tree oil because of its antimicrobal and antifungal effects will help in the treatment by selective control of pathogenic microflora enclosing Candida albicans infections. -

Effect of Seed Priming on Germination and Seedling Growth of Two Medicinal Plants Under Salinity
Emir. J. Food Agric. 2010. 22 (2): 130-139 http://ffa.uaeu.ac.ae/ejfa.shtml Short Communication Effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of two medicinal plants under salinity Mohammad Sedghi1∗, Ali Nemati2 and Behrooz Esmaielpour3 1Faculty of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran; 2Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch 2, Iran; 3Faculty of Horticultural Sciences, College of Agriculture, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran Abstract: Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increasing seed performance (germination and emergence) under stress conditions such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of different priming types on seed germination of two medicinal plants including pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) and sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) under salinity stress. Treatments were combinations of 5 levels of salinity stress (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 ds m-1) and 5 levels of priming (control, GA3, Manitol, NaCl and distilled water) with 3 replications. Seeds of pot marigold and sweet fennel were primed for 24 h at 25°C. Results indicated that with increasing salinity, germination traits such as germination percent, rate and plumule length decreased, but seed priming with GA3 and NaCl showed lower decrease. In all of the salinity levels, primed seeds (except manitol) possessed more germination rate and plumule length than control. The highest radicle fresh and dry weight in pot marigold was seen at 7.5 ds m-1 salinity stress level. It seems that higher germination rate in pot marigold shows higher tolerance to salinity than sweet fennel. -

WWRF VIP WG CONNECTED VEHICLES White Paper Connected Vehicles: The Role of Emerging Standards, Security and Privacy, and Machine Learning Editor: SESHADRI MOHAN, CHAIR CONNECTED VEHICLES WORKING GROUP PROFESSOR, SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT UA LITTLE ROCK, AR 72204, USA Project website address: www.wwrf.ch This publication is partly based on work performed in the framework of the WWRF. It represents the views of the authors(s) and not necessarily those of the WWRF. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an emerging technology that provides secure vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and safety for drivers and their passengers. It stands at the confluence of many evolving disciplines, including: evolving wireless technologies, V2X standards, the Internet of Things (IoT) consisting of a multitude of sensors that are housed in a vehicle, on the roadside, and in the devices worn by pedestrians, the radio technology along with the protocols that can establish an ad-hoc vehicular network, the cloud technology, the field of Big Data, and machine intelligence tools. WWRF is presenting this white paper inspired by the developments that have taken place in recent years in standards organizations such as IEEE and 3GPP and industry consortia efforts as well as current research in academia. This white paper provides insights into the state-of-the-art regarding 3GPP C-V2X as well as security and privacy of ETSI ITS, IEEE DSRC WAVE, 3GPP C-V2X. The White Paper further discusses spectrum allocation worldwide for ITS applications and connected vehicles. A section is devoted to a discussion on providing connected vehicles communication over a heterogonous set of wireless access technologies as it is imperative that the connectivity of vehicles be maintained even when the vehicles are out of coverage and/or the need to maintain vehicular connectivity as a vehicle traverses multiple wireless access technology for access to V2X applications. -
