- The current study investigated the protective potential of Azolla pinnate ethanolic extract (APE) against lead-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Sixty male Wistar albino rats were randomly allocated into six groups (n = 10). The control group was orally administrated with saline. The second group received lead acetate (100 mg/kg body weight (BW) orally for 60 days). The third group was fed with APE (10 mg/kg BW orally for 60 days). The fourth group was administrated with lead acetate like the second group and APE like the third group, concomitantly, for 60 days. The fifth group was administrated with APE like the third group for 30 days, then orally administrated with the lead acetate like the second group for another 30 days. The sixth group was administrated with lead acetate like the second group for 30 days, then with APE like the third group for a further 30 days. Phytochemical analysis of APE indicated the presence of peonidin 3-O-glucoside cation, vitexin, rutin, thiamine, choline, tamarixetin, hyperoside, astragalin, and quercetin. The latter has been elucidated using one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS-MS). Lead acetate increased the serum levels of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and that of urea, creatinine, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin 1β, hepatic tissue malondialdehyde contents, and caspase 3 protein expression, as well as altering the hepatic tissue architecture. However, it decreased the serum levels of interleukin 10 and glutathione (GSH) contents, and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in hepatic tissue. In contrast, the administration of APE ameliorated the lead-induced alterations in liver function and structure, exemplifying the benefits of Azolla’s phytochemical contents. Collectively, A. pinnate extract is a protective and curative agent against lead-induced hepatotoxicity via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic impacts.

- The recent commercial trends towards using smaller dish antennas for satellite receivers and the growing density of broadcasting satellites necessitate the application of robust adjacent satellite interference cancellation schemes. This orbital density growth along with the wider beamwidth of a smaller dish have imposed an overloaded scenario at the satellite receiver, where the number of transmitting satellites exceeds the number of receiving elements at the dish antenna. To ensure successful operation in this practical scenario, we propose a satellite receiver that enhances signal detection from the desired satellite by mitigating the interference from neighboring satellites. Towards this objective, we propose an enhanced list-based group-wise search detection (E-LGSD) receiver under the assumption of spatially correlated additive noise. To further enhance detection performance, the proposed satellite receiver utilizes a newly designed whitening filter to remove the spatial correlation among the noise parameters, while also applying a preprocessor that maximizes the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. We exploit the structure of this filter and propose a reduced complexity LGSD (RC-LGSD) receiver. Extensive simulations under practical scenarios show that the proposed receiver enhances the performance of satellite broadcast systems in the presence of adjacent satellite interference compared with existing methods. Also, under pointing error, RC-LGSD exhibits similar behavior to that of the optimum receiver

- The structural and transport properties of Nd1-xCaxBa2Cu3Oy (x = 0.0, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.10) and Nd1-xLax- Ba2Cu3Oy. (x nominally 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15) have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, electrical resistivity, and thermoelectric power measurements. In both series, the a- and b-axis lattice parameters decrease with increasing doping while the c-axis lattice parameter increases. The transport properties suggest improved metallic behaviour with increasing Ca doping in contrast to La doping. An anomalous sharp peak in the thermoelectric power close to T-c was observed, which depended on the doping content. We analysed the thermoelectric power as a function of temperature with a two-band model with an additional linear T term. An excellent agreement between model and data was obtained.

Thermoelectric power and resistivity of Nd1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-delta

- The structural and transport properties of Nd1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-delta (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15), have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, electrical resistivity measurements, and thermoelectric power measurements. The decrease of the superconducting critical temperature with doping is described by a parabolic term and a linear term. The c-axis lattice parameter and the cell volume decrease with doping up to x = 0.10. Analyses of the thermoelectric power, critical temperature, c-axis lattice parameter, and the cell volume suggest that the Pr ions have a valence close to +4 at low doping concentration. The room temperature resistivity indicates that hole concentration decreases with increasing Pr doping. The room temperature thermoelectric power is positive for all samples and increases with increasing Pr doping due to a decrease in the carrier concentration. We analyzed the thermoelectric power as a function of temperature with a two-band model with an additional linear T term. An excellent agreement between model and data was obtained. The band width of the narrow band increases and its peak position moves away from the Fermi energy with increasing doping concentration.
