was found that PQ-9 was required for both photoreduction of ferricyanide and photosynthetic phos,phorylation in Euglena chloroplasts. The structural integrity of PQ-9 was not required to the same degree in the 2 photochemical reactions. Photosynthetic phosphorvyation seemed to require the entire molecular structure of PQ-9 for the activity, whereas shortening in isoprenoid ch-ain and modificati...

In this paper we consider the problem of computing the weak visibility polygon of any query line segment pq (or WVP(pq)) inside a given polygon P . Our first non-trivial algorithm runs in simple polygons and needs O(n log n) time and O(n) space in the preprocessing phase to report WVP(pq) of any query line segment pq in time O(log n + |WVP(pq)|). We also give an algorithm to compute the weak vi...

Primaquine (PQ) is recommended to prevent relapses in patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria infection. However, treatment with PQ causes methemoglobinemia. In this study, we measured the methemoglobin (MetHB) levels in three groups of subjects who received PQ treatment at 0.58, 0.83, or 1.17 mg/kg/d. A total of 112 subjects were studied. MetHB levels were detected at > or = 4% in 46-50% 1 day ...

We investigate the local existence, finite time blow-up and global existence of sign-changing solutions to inhomogeneous parabolic system with space-time forcing terms $$ u_t-\Delta u =|v|^{p}+t^\sigma w_1(x),\,\, v_t-\Delta v =|u|^{q}+t^\gamma w_2(x),\,\, (u(0,x),v(0,x))=(u_0(x),v_0(x)), where $t>0$, $x\in \mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, $p,q>1$, $\sigma,\gamma>-1$, $\sigma,\gamma\neq0$, $w_1,w_2\no...

Rhodium(III) complexes containing 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoline (PQ) were prepared by the reaction of RhCl3 6H2O and PQ in 1:2 mole ratio followed by addition of an excess of sodium salts to the reaction mixture. The new complexes cisRhX2(PQ)2 Y (where X = NO2 , Y = PF6 ; X = SCN or NO3 , Y = Cl; X = Y = I) and cisRh(N3)2(H2O)2(PQ) PF6 were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measuremen...

Electrical power quality (PQ) disturbance has become an important issue in India. On a distribution network, it is mainly caused by various nonlinear loads. Due to the varying power produced, it is affected by penetration of solar PV system as well. Therefore it is necessary detect and classify PQ events in account of evaluating a PQ problem. In other side due to increase of smart meters in sma...

The power quality (PQ) signals are traditionally analyzed in the time-domain by skilled engineers. However, PQ disturbances may not always be obvious in the original time-domain signal. Fourier analysis transforms signals into frequency domain, but has the disadvantage that time characteristics will become unobvious. Wavelet analysis, which provides both time and frequency information, can over...
