Some nodes of the network are target nodes, and we focus on the statistics of first hitting of these nodes.

- The research investigates the potential of using fennel by-products from Southern Italy by analyzing their chemical properties and health benefits.
- The study identifies useful compounds in the extracts, like flavonoids and essential amino acids, and highlights trans-anethole and limonene as key components in essential oils.
- Results show that while the hydroalcoholic extracts have moderate antioxidant activity, the essential oils exhibit antimicrobial properties against several common bacteria, suggesting that fennel waste can be a valuable resource.
In recent years, essential oils (EO) are a sustainable and effective alternative to conventional chemical treatments in response to heavy metals in plants. These natural molecules can increase the resilience of plants under stress conditions. In the present work, the ability of EOs from the aerial parts of Ocimum basilicum L.
