Paraquat is a commonly used herbicide in many countries which can lead to systematic poisoning on exposure, In this study, paraquat (PQ)-induced changes in the expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) along with biochemical and histopathological changes in the lungs, liver and kidneys were studied. Twenty four male Wistar rats (180-200 g) were exposed either against saline as control group or var...

Primaquine (PQ), a racemic drug, is the only treatment available for radical cure of relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria and blocking transmission of P. falciparum malaria. Recent studies have shown differential pharmacologic and toxicologic profiles of individual PQ enantiomers in rodent, dog, and primate animal models. This study was conducted in six healthy adult human volunteers to determine...

BACKGROUND Because corneal infiltrative events (CIEs) may result from bacterial components on contact lenses, which can come from contaminated lens cases, we evaluated the biocidal efficacy of five multipurpose solutions against Gram-negative commonly isolated and CIE-associated organisms. METHODS Of the multipurpose solutions tested, one contained polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)/polyquate...

this paper presents novel active filter for mitigation electromagnetic interference (emi) and other adverse effects of pulse width modulation (pwm) inverter-fed ac motor system. an active filter proposed and devised for this system is characterized by sophisticated connection of two small separate filters, capable of mitigating all the adverse effects. this paper provides high frequency models ...

Multilevel converters have received serious attention on account of their capability high voltage operation, efficiency, and low electromagnetic interference. It has many advantages compared to conventional two-level inverters such as dc-link voltages, reduced harmonic distortion, fewer stresses, interferences. The multilevel been used for STATCOM widely it can improve the power rating compensa...

The herbicide paraquat (PQ) has increasingly been reported in epidemiological studies to enhance the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, case-control studies report that individuals with genetic variants in the dopamine transporter (DAT, SLC6A) have a higher PD risk when exposed to PQ. However, it remains a topic of debate whether PQ can enter dopamine (DA) neurons through...

Paraquat dichloride (N,N-dimethyl-4-4'-bipiridinium, PQ) is an extremely toxic chemical that is widely used in herbicides. PQ generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causes multiple organ failure. In particular, PQ has been reported to be an immunotoxic agrochemical compound. PQ was shown to decrease the number of macrophages in rats and suppress monocyte phagocytic activity in mice. Howeve...

ISSN: 2319-1112 /V3N1: 36-46 ©IJAEEE Abstract—Application with renewable energy sources such as solar cell array, wind turbines and diesel generator have increased significantly during the past decade. To obtain the clean energy, the hybrid solar–wind power generation is used. Consumers prefer quality of power from suppliers. The quality of power can be measured by using parameters such as volt...

This paper presents a detailed harmonic analysis in terms of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for different power circuit topologies of multi level inverter fed induction motor drives. The most common multilevel inverter topologies are the neutral-point-clamped inverter (NPC), flying capacitor inverter (FC), and cascaded H-bridge inverter (CHB). This work is to analyze the performance of all the...
