ABSTRACT The antibacterial activity of plant extracts compared to a known antibiotic (ampicillin) was evaluated against ten gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria which can infect humans. In addition, the efficacies of different extraction methods were studied. Soxhlet, cold aqueous, and hot aqueous extractions were used in this study. Moreover,... Continue Reading

Preamble In traditional grammar, words are the basic units of analysis. Grammarians classify words according to parts of speech and identify and list the forms that words can be grouped. Although the matter is really very complex, for the sake of simplicity we will begin with the assumption that we are all generally able to distinguish words from... Continue Reading
