Phytochemical, pharmacological and industrial application of Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed): An overview based on review of literature

Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M. King & H. Rob.) of Asteraceae family, a perennial shrub with an invasive character, has been shown potential application in many of scientific communication. On the basis of broader geographical distribution across tropical and subtropical regions, research is mainly concentrated in ten countries of Africa, Asia and Oceania Australia. C. odorata has been largely studied for diverse phytochemical content including flavonoids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds responsible for many of its potential health and industrial application. In present work we reviewed several scientific literature and found antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and anti-cancer application of C. odorata. Additionally, environmental applications of C. odorata as a phytoremediation and ecosystem restoration are in agricultural innovations are well established including natural pesticide and soil fertility enhancer. Moreover, several industrial applications including bioenergy and development of sustainable materials are also established. Finally based on balanced summary of available evidence on the ecological challenges and potential as a valuable biological resource for C. odorata and synthesizes current research knowledge that can help in the filling of knowledge gaps and defining of future research directions

Numerical study on Longitudinal control of Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft by Tail arm length

Abstract This paper covers a new method of longitudinally controlling an aircraft by changing the horizontal tail arm length, without the conventional control surface called ‘elevator’. The effects of changing horizontal tail arm length from its steady level trimmed condition are determined numerically for the chosen Cessna aircraft. From the numerical calculations, the possibilities of implementing this type of control in the chosen Cessna aircraft are analyzed. At last, some recommendations are suggested for the effective longitudinal control of the Cessna aircraft by changing horizontal tail arm length. Further, it is also suggested that employing both elevator control and tail arm length control together will make an aircraft to meet any kind of longitudinal controllability and stability requirement at any instant. This optimal aircraft configuration can be achieved by proposing a novel configuration and morphing solutions.</jats:p
