hydro-induction sediment discharge technique (hsdt) aims to prevent reservoir sedimentation by withdrawing the discharge water from the reservoir bottom to suck up and discharge sediments, and by inducing vertical vortexes and undercurrents in the reservoir bay to keep sediments agitated and moving. the technique is facilitated with an innovative discharge conduit system having bottom intakes t...

Power Generation from Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro is predominant now days and among the renewable energy sources, small hydro and wind energy have the ability to complement each other. For Power generation by small or micro hydro as well as wind systems, the use of squirrel-cage induction generators (SCIGs) is mostly adopted. As regards in recent ye...

PURPOSE Plant-derivate therapeutic agents can perform cancer chemotherapeutic activity through triggering apoptotic cell death. Our aim was to investigate the cytotoxic effects, induction of apoptosis, and the mechanism of cell death of Iranian orthodox black tea extracts (BTEs) and hydro methanolic purified fractions (40, 60, 80 and 100%) in KB cells (oral squamous cell carcinoma). METHODS I...

Self exited Induction generators are widely used in non conventional energy systems such as wind, micro/mini hydro, etc. The squirrel cage induction generator is simple, reliable, cheap, lightweight, ruggedness, and requires very little maintenance. This paper presents the self-excitation and modeling, steady-state, performance analysis and generating schemes of induction generators.

This paper is the result of a study undertaken to assess the steady state and transient behavior of an Induction Generator (IG) driven by Mini Hydro or Wind turbines under grid abnormalities, as encountered in practice. Behavior under varying input power typically observed in wind machines is also reported. A computer simulation study was undertaken and results on a 220 KW Hydro machine and 55 ...

Objective: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities of Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris) could be helpful in the treatment of acute pancreatitis; thus, this study was designed to investigate the effects of T. terrestris on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice. Materials and Methods: Three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) of T. terrestris hydro-alcoholic extr...

The intestinal peptide transporter, PepT1, is known to be regulated by a variety of dietary factors, including protein quantity, protein quality, and feed intake. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of dietary protein composition on mRNA abundance of chicken PepT1. From day of hatch to day 8, chicks from 2 genetic lines (A and B, selected under different dietary conditi...

This study investigates the effects of magnetic induction, ion slip and Hall current on flow linear viscous fluids in a rectangular buoyant channel. In hydro-magnetic scenario with permeable conducting walls, one wall has temperature variation that changes over time, while other keeps constant temperature; research focuses this situation. Asymmetric heating suction/injection are also examined s...
