Various Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices are used to improve the power quality and reliability of system. In addition technical constraints, installation maintenance costs limit exploitation such devices. To maximize efficiency FACTS, least possible number must be placed optimally in network. this vein, many types research have been conducted offer optimal placem...

AIM To investigate the inhibitory effect of Liuwei Dihuang Pill (LDP) on gastric tumorigenesis induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in diabetic mice. METHODS Four-week-old mice were divided into four groups: A, 12 db/m mice treated with MNU and saline, as the non-diabetic control; B, 12 db/db mice treated with MNU and saline, as the diabetic control; C, 12 db/db mice treated with MNU and m...

The activity of de novo DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase (DNA methylase) in various rat tissues after administration of a single dose of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) has been analyzed. The total and specific activities of the DNA methylase of the brain, where tumor induction is important, are increased. In kidney, the DNA methylase activity first increases up to 16 h and decreases afterwards...

No previous report has demonstrated the relationship between Helico bacter pylori (HP) infection and gastric carcinogenesis in an experimental animal model. A total of 170 male Mongolian gerbils (MGs) were divided into nine groups (18 S n S 20 for each group). MGs of four groups were inoculated with HP before or after continuous A'-methyl-A'-nitrosourea (MNU) administration via the drinking wat...

In this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (PMUs) is proposed to minimize the number of PMU installation subjected to full network observability. Three main purposes of PMUs output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. We have combined Binary Imperialistic Competitio...

The induction of tumors with chemicals and the production of transgenic animals are two experimental approaches to study oncogene involvement in carcinogenesis. The combination of both strategies offers an excellent model system to study tumor development. This study analyzes the potential cooperation of N-methylnitrosourea (MNU) treatment and N-ras proto-oncogene overexpression in tumorigenesi...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the major steroid precursor of androgens and estrogens produced in peripheral tissues in primates, is an effective chemopreventive agent in the A/-methyl-A/-nitrosourea (MNU)induced rat mammary tumor model. Dietary 1)111 \ (5-600 ppm; 600 mg/kg diet) was administered beginning 1 week before MM and admin istered continually throughout the duration of the experiment...
