Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Location of Static Var Compensator Device for Damping OscillationsM. W. Mustafa, N. MagajiProblem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. The effectiveness of this controller depends on its optimal location and proper signal selection in the power system network. A residue factor had been proposed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Control of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuIn this research the performance of a three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) using Model Reference Controller (MRC) has been compared with that using instantaneous active and reactive (p-q) theory. The novelty of this research lies in the application of MRC to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the APF circuit and the successful implementation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multi-Objective HPSO Algorithm Approach for Optimally Location of UPFC in Deregulated Power SystemsSeyed Abbas Taher, Seyed Mohammad Hadi TabeiThis paper presents the application of hybrid particle swarm optimization technique to find optimal location of unified power flow controller to achieve optimal power flow. Objective function in the OPF, that is to be minimized, are the overall cost functions, which include the total active and reactive production cost function of the generators and installation cost of UPFCs. The OPF … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPatient and Mouse Antibodies against Dengue Virus Nonstructural Protein 1 Cross-React with Platelets and Cause Their Dysfunction or DepletionChiou-Feng Lin, Huan-Yao Lei, Ching-Chuan Liu et al.Thrombocytopenia is a clinical manifestation in dengue virus (DV) infection, yet its pathogenic mechanisms are unresolved. We previously showed that dengue patient sera contained antibodies cross-reactive with platelets. In this study, we demonstrated that the anti-platelet activity of dengue patient sera was due to the antibodies against DV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). Studies using DV-infected or recombinant NS1-immunized mouse sera … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneration of Anti-platelet Autoantibody During Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin, Hsiao-Sheng Liu et al.Dengue virus infection causes dengue fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Thrombocytopenia is common in dengue fever and is always found in DHF/DSS. The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood. To further understand the relationship between anti-dengue virus antibody and anti-platelet antibody, we generated monoclonal anti-dengue virus antibodies from the dengue virus infected mice that developed … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,762 accessesView PDFCite
