Thirty-nine multiparous ewes (19 Pelibuey and 20 Romanov × Pelibuey) treated with fluorogestone acetate impregnated intravaginal sponges were used to evaluate the effects of low pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) doses and genotype on their reproductive efficiency under heat stress conditions. The sponge treatment lasted for 12 days, and 24 h before sponge removal, ewes of each genotype we...

Wind energy is a leader area of application for variable-speed generators operating on the constant grid frequency. This paper depicts the power quality enhancement in wind power system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and Quasi Z-source Inverter. The PMSG is connected to the power network by means of a quasi z-source inverter (qZSI). The PMSG are used by these technologies d...

Estimation of the long-term consequences on reproduction performance of the oestrus synchronisation treatments that are annually applied to ewes was carried out on nine officially controlled dairy flocks in the Roquefort region of France. A hormonal treatment combining the insertion of a vaginal fluoro-gestone acetate (FGA) sponge for 14 days and the injection of about 500 IU of pregnant mare s...

A group of Southdown ewes (n=lll), two years and older, which had been maintained in isolation from rams had intravaginal sponges (Repromap, Upjohn) inserted on 18 Dee (day 0). On day 10 after sponge insertion rams (10%) were introduced to the ewes and at sponge withdrawal on day 12 they were harnessed and the ewes were allocated at random to PMSG treatment. The doses of PMSG were 0, 100, 200, ...

The estrous cycle influence on the number of ovulated eggs after injection of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was investigated in 12, 18, and 24 weeks old adult female Wistar-Imamichi (WI) rats. PMSG (150 IU/kg) was injected at metestrus, diestrus, proestrus, or estrus, followed by hCG (75 IU/kg) 55 h later. Ovulation was induced at all ages and st...

To optimize the output power and reduce the frequency fluctuation in conventional fixed speed Induction Generator (IG) based wind farm, various controlling devices are used. But, this paper proposes that Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) can work both as a power producing device and as a controlling device for IG. In this paper a more practical case has been considered where a wind ...

Gonadotropic hormones PMSG (15 IU/rat), FSH (3 micrograms/rat), LH (9 micrograms/rat) and hCG (3 micrograms/rat) were shown to decrease the free cytosolic lysosomal enzymes during the acute phase of hormone action in rat ovaries. When isolated cells from such rats were analyzed for the cathepsin-D activity, the granulosa cells of the ovary showed a reduction in the free as well as in the total ...

Different types of permanent magnet generators for wind power application have been subject of research during last two decades. In this thesis different topologies of electrical generators have been investigated for small scale vertical axis wind turbine application. A two stage induction generator is proposed as a alternative solution with respect to the cost of such a system. However, a bigg...

Peptide mass-signature genotyping (PMSG) is a scanning genotyping method that identifies mutations and polymorphisms by translating the sequence of interest in more than one reading frame and measuring the masses of the resulting peptides by mass spectrometry. PMSG was applied to the RDS/peripherin gene of 16 individuals from a family exhibiting autosomal dominant macular degeneration. The meth...
