What is Lorem Ipsum
What is Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
Abstract
Valeriana acutiloba Rydb. is an
essential oil-bearing plant that is native to much of the western region of the
United States, including the state of Utah. Roots of the flowering plant were
collected, and steam distilled. The resulting essential oils (n = 3) were
analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FID. Prominent compounds of V. acutiloba essential oil include α-fenchene (avg. 5.0%), bornyl
acetate (avg. 6.0%), β-gurjunene (avg. 6.8%), kessane (avg. 5.5%), and calarene
epoxide (avg. 5.6%). The essential oil contains several prominent unknown
compounds that were unidentifiable with commercially available mass spectral
libraries, including an unidentifiable compound with an average relative area
of 19.6% (prominent mass spectral ions: 43.0, 109.1,
125.1, 238.2). The essential oil yield was 0.16% (w/w). This study is the
first, to the best knowledge of the authors, to characterize the essential oil
profile of this species and establishes a foundation for future chemotaxonomic
and other investigations.
