Manila colleges. Monocots were collected, identified, dried, and mounted in a white Bristol board for the purpose of constructing a herbarium. With regards to the specimens which were impractical to mount, photographs of the same were instead taken. Based on the survey conducted, it has been found that there are fifty-four (54) different species of monocots in existence within the boundaries of the U.P. Manila campus. 1988-02-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/3756 Title: A Study on the Relationship Between the Extent of Rigor Mortis and the Different Possible Causes of Death in Rats Authors: Sandejas, Jonathan Emmanuel Arce I. Abstract: This research was conducted so as to determine whether a relationship does exist between the time needed for the onset of Rigor mortis and the different types of death that can be applied on to the rats. The rats were killed four different ways. They were killed through suffocation, strangulation, drowning, and laceration and it was discovered that the rate of Rigor Mortis was fastest for those rats that drowned. This was followed by strangulations, then suffocation and then by laceration. Since the loss of ATP can account for the manifestation of Rigor Mortis, it can be concluded that the activities of the rats prior to their death generally dictated how early this phenomenon will be exhibited. This is the only relationship that seems to be exhibited. Based on the statistical test used, it was established that there is a significant different in the values that were taken. As to the existence of a relationship, there is not significant relationship that was established between the extent of Rigor Mortis and the different causes of death and this can be attributed to the very slight difference in the ties for the manifestation of Rigor Mortis between those that died by strangulation and suffocation. 1988-02-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/3755 Title: A Comparative Study of the Anti-Bacterial Effects of Ampalaya, Bawang, Bayabas, Duhat and Ikmo in Staphylococcus aureus Authors: Tinio, Lawrence S. Abstract: This thesis is a comparative study of the antibacterial effects of the extracts of ampalaya, bawang, bayabas, duhat and ikmo on Staphylococcus aureus. The herbs were cut, decocted and applied to cultures of S. aureus using the KIRBY-BAUER agar disc diffusion method. The zone of inhibition, being the criteria of anti-bacterial property, the most effective extract had been derived from bawang secondarily thereafter, from bayabas, ikmo, duh.at and ampalaya, in that order. 1988-09-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cas.upm.edu.ph:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/3752 Title: The Effect of Bayati (Anamirta cocculus L.) on Damselfish (Pomacentrus coelestis L.) Authors: San Felipe, Michael C. Abstract: For many decades, the people of Pagsanjan Laguna have used the Bayati fruit in catehing fishes from the Pagsanjan River. Ripe fruits of the plant were dried, crushed, mixed with earthworms and thrown into the river. This paper aims to study the action and effect of this fruit on a fish living in the marine biome, particularly, damselfish. After mixing traditionally prepared Bayati fruit powder with dried ground shrimps and making it into a paste, this was fed to the fishes. It was observed that the fishes showed great distress and disorientation before dying shortly afterwards. This was mainly due to the picrotoxin content of the Bayati fruit. Picrotoxin is occasionally used as a drug depressant among humas, an overdose of which is lethal. 1989-02-24T00:00:00Z
