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...

Objective: Paraquat (PQ) is a herbicide which induces oxidative stress and inflammation. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects were shown for Zataria multiflora (Z. multiflora) and carvacrol previously. The effects of Z. multiflora hydroalcoholic extract and carvacrol on systemic inflammation and oxidative stressinduced by inhaled PQ were examine...

This paper presents a new automatic detection and classification approach of power quality (PQ) problems using Kalman filter. filter is used as an estimator to calculate the fundamental frequency harmonic components amplitudes voltage or current signals. Then instantaneous total distortion (iTHD) energy are calculated. For each half cycle processed signal, five decision quantities calculated ba...

Recorded disturbances are often evaluated manually by specialists. However, a lot of time could be saved if a majority of the recorded information could be classified automatically. This paper proposes a novel classification system based on the Support Vector Machine method for automatic classification of seven types of voltage disturbances. The performance of the classification system was inve...

Let E pq be the vertical homology Hg(E 0 p∗) of this complex. In other words, if Z pq = ker(d v pq), B pq = im(d v p,q+1), then E pq = Z 1 pq/B 1 pq. We note that d h induces maps E pq → E p−1,q as follows. The condition dd = −dd shows that d(Z pq) ⊆ Z p−1,q and d(B pq) ⊆ B p−1,q; therefore, there is a homomorphism d̃pq : E 1 pq → E p−1,q. Let E pq be the horizontal homology Hp(E ∗q) of this com...

Perturbed Quantization (PQ) steganography scheme is almost undetectable with the current steganalysis methods. We present a new steganalysis method for detection of this data hiding algorithm. We show that the PQ method distorts the dependencies of DCT coefficient values; especially changes much lower than significant bit planes. For steganalysis of PQ, we propose features extraction from the e...

We augment a tree T with a shortcut pq to minimize the largest distance between any two points along the resulting augmented tree T + pq. We study this problem in a continuous and geometric setting where T is a geometric tree in the Euclidean plane, where a shortcut is a line segment connecting any two points along the edges of T , and we consider all points on T + pq (i.e., vertices and points...

The evenness and the values modulo 4 of lengths periods continued fraction expansions p 2p for p≡3(mod4) a prime are known. Here we prove similar results expansion pq, where p,q≡3(mod4) distinct primes.
