Paraquat (PQ), is one of the most widely used herbicides all over the world. PQ could induce dopaminergic cell death. Since dopamine involves in memory processing, we investigated the recovery effect of vitamin C on spatial memory along with oxidative stress parameters during PQ induced neurotoxicity in male rats. Rats were divided into five groups (n= 7): control (saline 0.9%), PQ (2.67 and 5 ...

this paper presents a grid connected photovoltaic system, which acts as both power generator and active power filter (apf), based on flying capacitor multicell (fcm) converter. increase in the number of output voltage levels, natural self-balancing of flying capacitors and dc link voltage and lower power rating of components are the main futures of fcm converter compared with conventional multi...

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...

ABSTRACTThis paper presents the simulation of single phase shunt active filter based on PQ theory. Generally PQ theory is used for 3 phases 3 wires or 3 phases 4 wire system but here it is used for single phase system. This paper also concentrates hardly on reduction of THD of load current. Since the system has only single phase signal for both voltage and current, thus the dummy signal with 12...

Let D:= (X,B,I) be a 2-design. For each xeX set Bx:= {jeB:xIj}, and define Xh dually for each h e B. We call D reduced if Xh = Xt implies that h = i for all h,ieB. Assume that D is a reduced 2-design with parameters v, b, k, r, X. Let G be a flag transitive automorphism group of D. By F*(G) we mean (as usual) the generalized Fitting subgroup of G which is defined to be the inverse image in G of...

Non-universal axion models, with the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry acting on Standard Model (SM) fermions in a generation-dependent way, are typically accompanied by two different sources of flavour violation, dubbed here as infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV). The former is due to violating couplings SM fermions, while latter arises from heavy degrees freedom that UV complete effective field theor...

Interval graphs were used in the study of genomics by the famous molecular biologist Benzer. Later on probe interval graphs were introduced by Zhang as a generalization of interval graphs for the study of cosmid contig mapping of DNA. A tagged probe interval graph (briefly, TPIG) is motivated by similar applications to genomics, where the set of vertices is partitioned into two sets, namely, pr...

Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide. However, a large number of cases of accidental or suicidal poisoning from PQ has been reported. Membrane damage induced by lipid peroxidation, inactivation of protein or damage to DNA by radical formation have been suggested as toxicity mechanisms of PQ. In the present work, the effects of atropine, propranolol, procainamide and dipyridamole on PQ-...

A bstract Parity solutions to the strong CP problem are a compelling alternative approaches based on Peccei-Quinn symmetry, particularly given expected violation of global symmetries in theory quantum gravity. The most natural these break parity at low scale, giving rise host experimentally accessible signals. We assess status simplest parity-based solution light LHC data and flavor constraints...
