The genetic effects of human exposure to anticancer drugs remain poorly understood. To establish whether exposure to anticancer drugs can result not only in mutation induction in the germ line of treated animals, but also in altered mutation rates in their offspring, we evaluated mutation rates in the offspring of male mice treated with three commonly used chemotherapeutic agents: cyclophospham...

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is used in power distribution system to protect sensitive loads in voltage disturbances. The performance of DVR is related to the adopted configuration and control strategy used for inverters. In this paper, an asymmetrical voltage-source inverter controlled with fuzzy logic method based on hysteresis controller, is used to improve operation of DVR to compensate v...

Abstract. The design of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer that is suitable for compensating regional voltage sags in 10kV distribution system is introduced in this paper. The design of the main circuit based on cascaded H-bridge, the device for energize DVR and the transformer-less coupled circuit are presented. For the voltage sags in neutral point non-grounded system, a reference voltage calculation...

Mitochondrial gene expression was characterized during meiosis in sunflower anthers. In situ hybridization experiments showed that there was a marked accumulation of four mitochondrial gene transcripts (atpA, atp9, cob, and rrn26) in young meiotic cells. This pattern of transcript accumulation was only detected for mitochondrial genes and not for transcripts of two nuclear genes (atpB and ANT) ...

Sorghum is one of the most important cereal crops in the semi-arid tropics. Several insect pests damage it. The possibility of identifying genotypes with multiple resistance to these pests and transferring the relevant genes into high-yielding varieties and hybrids has been considered as an attractive approach to reducing yield losses. A set of 12 cytoplasmic male-sterile and maintainer lines, ...

Power quality (PQ) is a key issue, particularly for technologically advanced process equipment, whose performance mainly depends on the of supply. Problems with PQ such as voltage swells/sags, interruptions, and harmonics are defined by any voltage, current, or frequency abnormalities causing damage failure end-user equipment. Outages interruptions lead to malfunctioning equipment sensitive loa...

Embryo cryopreservation is a valuable tool for maintaining genetic variability and preserving breeds lines, allowing to assess the response selection enabling diffusion. This study aimed evaluate impact of rederivation by embryo vitrification transfer procedures on growth reproductive traits in paternal rabbit line selected average daily gain from weaning (28 days old) fattening (63 old). The r...
