The main compounds identified from Salvia species essential oils were as follows: 1,8-cineole (71.7%), α-pinene (5.1%), camphor (4.4%), and β-pinene (3.8%) in Salvia apiana; borneol (17.4%), β-eudesmol (10.4%), bornyl acetate (5%), and guaiol (4.8%) in Salvia elegans; bornyl acetate (11.4%), β-caryophyllene (6.5%), caryophyllene oxide (13.5%), and spathulenol (7.0%) in Salvia leucantha; α-thujene (25.8%), viridiflorol (20.4%), β-thujene (5.7%), and camphor (6.4%) in Salvia officinalis. In biting-deterrent bioassays, essential oils of S. leucantha and S. elegans at 10 μg/cm(2) showed activity similar to that of DEET (97%, N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) in two species of mosquitoes, whereas the activities of S. officinalis and S. apiana essential oils were lower than those of th...

This study is designed to address the issue of the national environments of Japan, Germany, and the U.S. and the prospect of global leadership for each nation.

With large Power Distance and weak Uncertainty Avoidance, work-related values of Sudanese managers were found to lie in accordance with Hofstede's findings for some other African and Arabic nations. The British scores were very close to the ones reported by Hofstede. The study showed that the Pakistanis in Britain, despite a lifetime spent in Britain, scored closer to their country of origin than to their current home.
