In many parts of the world Allium cepa, Allium roseum, Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica are extensively used as food and are popular in herbal medicine. The four were screened against 26 pathogens and all exhibited broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity. The aqueous as well as fractionated methanol extract of Allium cepa and A. roseum demonstrated broader level of activity against most of the organisms. On the other hand the unfractionated methanol extracts as well as the fractions of both Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica showed broad spectrum of activity. Fractionation was found to improve their level of activity. In both cases the ethyl acetate fractions exhibited higher level of activity. All the materials tested were inactive against any of the four moulds. Allium cepa, Allium roseum, Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica are proposed as non toxic, safe, broad spectrum antibacterial agents.

In the Asian sub-continent Momordica charantia and Allium sativum are extensively used as food and are popular in herbal medicine. The two were screened against 15 pathogens and both exhibited broard spectrum antimicrobial activity. As compared to the standard antibiotics, M. charantia demonstrated broader and higher level of activity against most of the organisms. On the other hand A. sativum showed comparable activity to the standard antibiotics. Both M. Charantia and A. sativum are proposed as non toxic, safe, broad spectrum antibacterial agents.

Assuming that EEG(electroencephalogram), which is generated by a nonlinear electrical of billions of neurons in the brain, has chaotic characteristics, it is confirmend by frequency spectrum analysis, log frequency spectrum analysis, correlation dimension analysis and Lyapunov exponents analysis. Some chaotic characteristics are related to the degree of brain activity. The slope of log frequency spectrum increases and the correlation dimension decreasess with respect to the activities, while the largest Lyapunov exponent has only a rough correlation.

The antioxidant activity of solvent extracts isolated from barley leaves was investigated by measuring peroxide value. The fractions of methanol extract obtained from preparative TLC was also studies, with UV-Visible spectrum, total phenol contents and hydrogen donating ability(HDA) The antioxidant activity of various solvent extracts was, in decreasing order, methanol> ethyl ether> methylene chloride $\geq$ ethyl acetate $\geq$acetone> hexane. The antioxidant activity of the fractions of methanol extract was, in decreasing order, fraction 2> fraction 3> fraction 1 and their activity was all superior to that of tocopherol at 500 ppm level. All fraction(1, 2 and 3) exhibited a strong UV absorption at 280 m which would be specifically produced by phenolic compound. UV absorption at 280 m of fraction 2 was greater than those of fraction 1 and 3. In the visible spectrum of these fractions, the maximum .absorption wavelengths of fraction 1, 2 and 3 were 660, 460 and 460 m, respectively. Antioxidant activity of barley leaves seemed to be due to the flavonoids containing phenolic group by UV spectrum and total phenol content.

The spectrum allocation is an attractive issue for mobile cognitive radio (CR) network. However, the time-varying characteristic of the spectrum allocation is not fully investigated. Thus, this paper originally deduces the probabilities of spectrum availability and interference constrain in theory under the mobile environment. Then, we propose a prediction mechanism of the time-varying available spectrum lists and the dynamic interference topologies. By considering the node mobility and primary users' (PUs') activity, the mechanism is capable of overcoming the static shortcomings of traditional model. Based on the mechanism, two prediction-based spectrum allocation algorithms, prediction greedy algorithm (PGA) and prediction fairness algorithm (PFA), are presented to enhance the spectrum utilization and improve the fairness. Moreover, new utility functions are redefined to measure the effectiveness of different schemes in the mobile CR network. Simulation results show that PGA gets more average effective spectrums than the traditional schemes, when the mean idle time of PUs is high. And PFA could achieve good system fairness performance, especially when the speeds of cognitive nodes are high.

A number of Myristica species are used in herbal medicine for a variety of ailments. The methanol extracts of the leaves and the stem and root barks of Myristica subabulata were fractionated into petrol, dichloromethane and finally ethyl acetate. These were then screened against a total of 31 micro-organisms comprising of 13 G +ve, 12 G ve, one protozoa and 5 moulds. A broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity was observed. As compared to fractionated the un-fractionated extracts exhibited much better level of activity.

The aim of this research was to identify candidate probiotic lactic bacteria among indigenous dadih lactic isolates. Dadih is an Indonesian traditional fermented milk of West Sumatra which is fermented naturally. Viability of the strain is critical in determining the capacity of lactic bacteria to induce immune stimulation as well as to colonize in the intestinal tract. Therefore, LAB are proposed to exert health promoting or probiotic effects in human, such as inhibition of pathogenic microflora, antimutagenic, and the reduction of cholesterol levels. This manuscript reports in vitro probiotic properties of indigenous dadih lactic bacteria, especially some important colonization factors in GI tract, such as lysozyme, acid and bile tolerance. Bile Salt Hydrolase (BSH) activity, spectrum of bacteriocin, and antimutagenic activity of bacterial cells were also assessed. Twenty dadih lactic isolates were screened further for their tolerance to low pH, at pH 2 and 3 as well as their bile tolerance. There were ten isolates classified as acid and bile acid tolerant, and further screened for lysozyme tolerance, BSH activity. The spectrum of bacteriocin activity of isolates was assayed using cell-free neutralized supernatants by agar spot test against variety of pathogens. Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-10285, IS-7386, IS-16183, IS-11857 and IS-29862, L. brevis IS-27560, IS-26958 and IS-23427, Leu.mesen.mesenteroides IS-27526, and L. casei IS-7257 each has good survival rate at low pH values and in the presence of lysozyme, and short lag time in the presence of 0.3 % oxgall. Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-11857 and IS-29862 each has high BHS activity, Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-10285 and IS-16183 each had a positive spectrum of bacteriocin activity against E. coli 3301 and Lysteria monocytogenes ATCC 19112, while L. brevis IS-26958 has high BHS activity as well as positive spectrum of bacteriocin against E. coli 3301, Lysteria monocytogenes ATCC 19112, and S. aureus IFO 3060. All of the ten dadih lactic strains performed in vitro acid and bile tolerance, indicating a possibility to reach the intestine alive, and display probiotic activities.

Power spectrum analysis is a powerful noninvasive tool for quantifying autonomic nervous system activity. In this paper, We developed a measuring system for Autonomic Nervous Activity by using power spectrum analysis method to obtain the activities of autonomic nervous system. This system adopt a isolated power for patient's safety. In this system, Two output signal is obtained - R-R interval time variability and Respiration time variability. Time variability is use to find out some disease related to Autonomic Nervous System. Experimental tested range is 30 ～ 240 BPM for ECG and 15～80 BPM for Respiration.

The purpose of this paper was the determination of the relationship between the chaotic charateristics and various levels of brain activities. Assuming that EEG(eletroencephalogram), which is generated by a nonlinear electiecal behavior of billions of neurons in the brain, has chaotic characteristics, it was confirmed by frequency spectrum analysis, log frequency spectrum analysis, correlation dimension analysis and Lyapunov exponents analysis. Chaotic characteristics are related to the degree of brain activity. The slope of log frequency spectrum increased and the correlation dimension decreased with respect to the brain activities, while the lagrest Lyapunov exponent has some rough correlation.

Acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor, was purified from the culture broth of a Bacillus sp. B-6, which had been isolated from soil, by chloroform extract, silica gel column chro matography and preparative TLC. The purified acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor showed higher Antifungal activity against C. al-bicans (MIC: 8${\mu}$g/ml). Though the analysis of UV spectrum, melting point, IR spectrum, Mass-spectrum, $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectrum, the inhibitor could be identified as phenazine-l-carboxylic acid.
