Cytotoxic activity of pisosterol, a triterpene isolated from Pisolithus tinctorius (Mich.: Pers.) Coker & Couch, 1928.

Pisolithus tinctorius (Basidiomycete) is an ectomicorrhizal fungus found in the roots and soil surrounding of many species of eucalyptus and pine trees. The present work verified the cytotoxic potential of pisosterol, a triterpene isolated from P. tinctorius collected in the Northeast region of Brazil, on three different animal cell models: mouse erythrocytes, sea urchin embryos and tumor cells...

The problem of wind turbine control has received significant attentions in recent years. The maximization of energy generation and load reduction are two major objectives for the control of wind turbine systems. Varieties of approaches have been proposed to achieve the above two objectives. Specifically, indirect speed control (ISC) and PID control have been widely used for the energy maximizat...
