results the results reveal that pq can decrease mitochondrial viability, deplete gsh content, increase mitochondrial ros formation, and enhance lpo and mitochondrial membrane damage. the pretreatment of mitochondria with ng has the ability to reduce the toxic effects of pq in isolated mitochondria. background paraquat (pq) is a dipyridyl herbicide that sustains damage due to redox cycling. an i...

This article introduces a specific and simple model for electric vehicles suitable for load flow studies. The electric vehicles demand system is modeled as a PQ bus with stochastic characteristics based on the concept of the queuing theory. All appropriate variables of stochastic PQ buses are given with closed formulas as a function of charging time. A specific manufacturer model of electric ve...

We demonstrate that AdS5 × T pq is unstable, in the sense of Breitenlohner and Freedman, for unequal p and q. This settles, negatively, the long-standing question of whether the T pq manifolds for unequal p and q might correspond to non-supersymmetric fixed points of the renormalization group. We also show that the AdS3×S vacuum of Sugimoto’s USp(32) open string theory is unstable. This explain...

 Background: Paraquat (PQ), as the most widely used herbicide in agriculture, induces poisoning in humans and animals mainly through oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of nano-curcumin compared with curcumin against PQ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats were used in this study. They were separated into 6 groups...

Edaravone, an antioxidant and radical scavenger, showed protective effects against oxidative stress-like condition. Paraquat (PQ) is a toxic herbicide considerable evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to PQ toxicity. In this study, protective effect of edaravone against PQ induced toxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in A549 cells and...

The increasing trends toward the accurate identification of power quality disturbances (PQD) via (PQ) monitoring require an appropriate digital signal processing (DSP) technique and a robust classifier. To this end, Stockwell transform (ST), one most efficient feature extraction DSP tools, its several variants play utmost role in PQ assessment framework. Its time-varying spectral characteristic...

For the analysis and design of coastal offshore structures, viscous loads represent one most influential parameters that dominate their response. Very commonly, potential flow theory is used for identifying excitation wave loads, while damping are taken into consideration as distributed drag type and/or linear quadratic approximated with use motion decay curves structure in specific degrees fre...

We describe some new applications of nonabelian pq-groups to construction problems in Graph Theory. The constructions include the smallest known trivalent graph of girth 17, the smallest known regular graphs of girth five for several degrees, along with four edge colorings of complete graphs that improve lower bounds on classical Ramsey numbers.
