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 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 abstractTransmission Congestion Management by Determining Optimal Location of FACTS Devices in Deregulated Power SystemsSeyed Abbas Taher, Hadi BesharatIn a deregulated electricity market, it may always not be possible to dispatch all of the contracted power transactions due to congestion of the transmission corridors. The ongoing power system restructuring requires an opening of unused potentials of transmission system due to environmental, right-of-way and cost problems which are major hurdles for power transmission network expansion. Flexible ac transmission systems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiomarkers of Oxidative DNA Damage and Soluble Fas/Fas Ligand in Type 2 Diabetic PatientsMohamed H. Mahfouz, Ibrahim A. Emara, Ghada A. OmarProblem statement: Involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications has been proposed. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been reported to serve as a new sensitive biomarker of the oxidative DNA damage in vivo. Apoptosis via Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) interactions has been proposed to be a major T-cell-mediated effector mechanism in autoimmune diabetes. This study was undertaken to investigate whether … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2012 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Melatonin in Prevention of Neuropathy in STZ-Induced Diabetic RatsNasser Zangiabadi, Vahid Sheibani, Majid Asadi-Shekaari et al.Problem statement: Diabetes mellitus occurs mainly with chronic polyneuropathy, and oxidative stress plays an important role in emergence of most neurologic and behavioral changes in diabetic patients. Many studies have focused on the beneficial effects of various antioxidants such as melatonin on diabetic neuropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of melatonin in prevention of neuropathy … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 9,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSelenium Effect on Hyperoxia-Induced Glutathione Peroxidase Activity and Free Radicals Production in the BrainIsmaeel Bin-JaliahThe purpose of this study was to examine the behavior of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity and Free Radicals (FR) production in the brain during graded hyperoxia exposure with and without selenium preventive intake. Forty two adult male rats were assigned to seven groups, six animals each. The first group served as control and the second, third and fourth groups were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2013 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of in vivo Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Activity of Portulaca oleracea L. against Paracetamol-Induced Liver Toxicity in Male RatsMohamed H. AhmidaProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity. Portulaca oleracea (P.O.) has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of P.O. on the oxidative stress in Paracetamol-induced hepatic toxicity in male rats. Approach: Forty male rats were divided into four groups. Group I served as control; Group II Received … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordProphylactic Effects of Melatonin on Sodium Valproate-Induced Neural Tube Defects and Skeletal Malformations in Rat EmbryosOmolbanin Rahgazar, Reza Ranjbar, Hossien Najafzadeh Varzi, Mahmood Khaksary MahabadyProblem statement: Some reports showed the teratogenic effects of sodium valproate can be prevented by application of antioxidant drugs and stimulation of the maternal immune system. Therefore, in this study, the prophylactic effect of melatonin on teratogenic effects of sodium valproate was compared. Approach: This study was performed on 31 pregnant rats that were divided into five groups. Control group … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Effect of a Prophylactic Dose of Ibuprofen on Plasma Level of Interleukin 1, Interleukin 6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in a 1500 m Running PracticeGholamreza Sepehri, Mohammad Pourranjbar, Ghollam-Reza Moshtaghi-Kashanian et al.Problem statement: there are controversies about the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on exercised induced changes on plasma cytokines in untrained male athletes, so the primary purpose of this study was to measure the influence of a prophylactic dose of ibuprofen use on plasma cytokines during a 1500 m running race. Approach: Subjects were 10 untrained male Medical University students who … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
