The suggested design uses four unequal DC sources and an H-bridge to provide a maximum 31-level output voltage. For applications using renewable energy, the topology designed for the 31-level can be employed. This lowers the system's total cost, number of components, and size. Higher level counts for lower total harmonic distortion (THD), however, dependability concerns are more significant than MLIs' many benefits. Total standing voltage (TSV), cost function (CF), and power loss are the various metrics that are examined for 31-level MLI. Experiments with different combinational loads and dynamic load fluctuations with sudden load disturbances are performed to assess the inverter's performance. The cost-effectiveness of the suggested MLI is demonstrated while comparing its TSV with the cost function against other topologies that have been recently published.","PeriodicalId":104760,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences","volume":"17 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During surgery, in four cases, a perforation of the Schneiderian membrane was detected. An attempt to suture the perforated membrane may increase the risk of enlarging the perforation. Therefore, we suggest a more conservative protocol be applied in all four cases where perforation occurred. The procedure consists of the 3-layer technique: an absorbable oxidized cellulose gauze moisturized with Dicynone was placed in this area. Under it, as a second layer, a PRF membrane is applied and then covered with a slow-resorbable collagen membrane. At that point, the surgery continues with the placement of the bone substitute material, and the sinus-lifting is finalized according to the selected protocol. \u0000The clinical studies demonstrate that the bone graft has a slower healing rate in areas with perforation, which is a proof of the osteogenic properties of the Schneiderian membrane. The cases described reveal that using this surgical protocol is risk-free and has a high success rate.","PeriodicalId":104760,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences","volume":"29 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malondialdehyde (MDA), chlorophyll a and b, total carotenoid, and enzymatic activity were examined. NaCl treatment led to decreases in photosynthetic pigment contents (chlorophyll a and b, total carotenoid). NSi applications significantly increased superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activity. However, MDA content was significantly decreased. The results support foliar application of nSi to increase the defense system of pepper, which enables it to tolerate the negative effects induced by salinity.","PeriodicalId":104760,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences","volume":"14 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that co-exposure to CCl4 and AAE significantly improved hepatic enzyme markers, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), compared to the CCl4-exposed group.

Drugs or treatments with antioxidants are reflected in the literature but the choice of those used for tuberculosis is quite limited. Selected natural and synthetic compounds (hybrid molecules consisting of fenchane scaffold and cinnamoyl like residues attached through amide bond), possessing antimycobacterial activity were studied for their capacity to accelerate or decelerate lipid oxidation process. Three of the compounds under study showed prooxidant activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about the prooxidant activity of piperine under spontaneous autoxidation conditions. The presence of fenchane scaffold together with the 1,3-benzodioxole fragment, positively affects the activity but we can only speculate about the role of the amide part. Effect of equimolar binary mixtures with curcumin has also been studied.

Dense coniferous forests dominated by Pinus sylvestris, Abies alba, Pinus peuce and some Picea abies were distributed between 4000 and 3000 years ago and below them thrived isolated stands of Fagus. The subsequent transformations in the forest cover include the invasion of spruce in the coniferous belt between 2500 and 800 years ago and the enlargement of beech communities since 1500 years ago.

When allocating available spectrum to Secondary Users (SUs), in the absence of Primary Users (PUs), it is essential to ensure the Quality of Service (QoS) of SUs. The motivation behind this research is to devise a mechanism to ensure the QoS of SUs. The End to End delay (EED) experienced by SU through the devised mechanism need to be kept within the threshold suggested by WRAN standard. To achieve the above requirement, Dynamic Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (DCSS) is developed in this research. Two entities namely Spectrum Manager (SM) in Base Station (BS) and Spectrum Automation (SA) in SUs are engaged to realize them. They do the sensing of channel occupancy by the PUs. Further, a concept of Urgent Coexistence Situation (UCS) notification is issued by BS to indicate the re-arrival of PUs to SUs. The impact of modulation schemes, occurrence of PUs traffic on average EED is analysed. From the simulation results, the modulation scheme that provides average EED within the threshold as per IEEE 802.22 is identified, thereby ensuring the QoS of the SUs.","PeriodicalId":104760,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences","volume":"14 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
