    Abstract: This article describes small neurotransmitters as particles of a spinless quantum field. That is, the particles are Bosons that e.g. can occupy equal energy levels. In addition, we consider the particles of the presynaptic region before exocytosis occur as elements of a grand canonical ensemble that is in a thermodynamic equilibrium. Thus, the part... Show More

    Abstract: This study was performed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activities of Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus essential oils by three different methods, revealing an important antioxidant potential for both species. The results of the total antioxidant capacity of the EO's were 212.42 mg AE / g DM for J.phoenicea and 88.14 mg AE / g DM fo... Show More

    Abstract: Oils of Zyziphus spina (Z. spina) and Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) seeds were analyzed for physicochemical, phytochemical and lipid composition. M. oleifera seeds gave oil yield of 40.47% while Z. Spina seeds gave 30%. Refractive index, density and acid value (mg KOH g-1) of M. oleifera oil were 1.471, 0.81, 1.16 while Z .spina had 1.441, 0.79, 7... Show More
