A modern drawing of a clay vessel unearthed in Vinča, found at a depth of 8.5 m (28 ft) The Vinča symbols [a] are a set of undeciphered symbols found on artifacts from the Neolithic Vinča culture and other "Old European" cultures of Central and Southeast Europe. [3] [4] They have sometimes been described as an example of proto-writing. [5]
Additional researched vinca alkaloids include vincaminol, vineridine, and vinburnine. Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic derivative of vincamine (sometimes described as "a synthetic ethyl ester of apovincamine"). [14] Minor vinca alkaloids include minovincine, methoxyminovincine, minovincinine, vincadifformine, desoxyvincaminol, and vincamajine ...
In 2010, 2.5 tonnes of waste, including 13 kg of 80% highly enriched uranium, were transported from Vinča to a reprocessing facility at Mayak, Russia. [18] This was the IAEA 's largest ever technical cooperation project, and thousands of police protected the convoys.
A microorganism, or microbe, [a] is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.. The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from sixth century BC India.
Vinca difformis in habitat, Cáceres, Spain. Vinca plants are subshrubs or herbaceous, and have slender trailing stems 1–2 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) long but not growing more than 20–70 cm (8– 27 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) above ground; the stems frequently take root where they touch the ground, enabling the plant to spread widely.
Vinblastine is a vinca alkaloid [9] [2] [10] and a chemical analogue of vincristine. [11] [12] It binds tubulin, thereby inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. [13]Vinblastine treatment causes M phase specific cell cycle arrest by disrupting microtubule assembly and proper formation of the mitotic spindle and the kinetochore, each of which are necessary for the separation of chromosomes ...
Microbial genetics can focus on Charles Darwin's work and scientists have continued to study his work and theories by the use of microbes. [7] Specifically, Darwin's theory of natural selection is a source used.
Like the genus Vinca, they are known commonly as periwinkles. [3] There are eight known species. Seven are endemic to Madagascar, [4] though one, C. roseus, is widely naturalized around the world. [2] [5] The eighth species, C. pusillus, is native to India and Sri Lanka. [6] The name Catharanthus comes from the Greek for "pure flower". [7]
