This study stimulated atherosclerosis in C57BL/6J mice using P-407 via intraperitoneal injection, and treatment with Andrographolide (AGP) (15, 30 and 45 mg/kg BW) was carried out for six weeks. The heart and aorta were harvested after six weeks and assessed using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and histological studies. The results demonstrated that the treatment with AGP reversed the effects of P-407 induced atherosclerosis. The doses of AGP correlated with the reduction of atherosclerosis biomarkers, and a high dose (45 mg/kg BW) was the most significant dose. The Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Triglycerides (TG), and Atherogenic Index (AI) were significantly reduced by the AGP treatment. The histological results showed a reduction in inflammation, fibrosis and hypertrophy in the heart tissues of the groups treated with AGP compared to the disease control. In addition, AGP treatment significantly decreased Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and the inflammation marker (NF-kB). Furthermore, the AGP-treated groups showed typical morphological characteristics of the aorta, while the disease control cells were highly affected. The results demonstrated that AGP is highly recommended as a natural treatment to reduce the symptoms of atherosclerosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.","PeriodicalId":153434,"journal":{"name":"Natural and Applied Sciences International Journal (NASIJ)","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141373650","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 key reasons included unplanned built-up regions, town expansion on the mountain slopes, lack of awareness, and poverty. Floods are considered one of Pakistan's most devastating and recurring natural catastrophes. Similarly, district Swat is a highly prone area to flooding and has been severely impacted by recent floods in 2010, 2016, and 2020. Primary data were acquired through field surveys and direct observation. For micro-level analysis, four villages were selected randomly, i.e. Ningulai, Amamdherai, Shagai, and Paklai. The analysis revealed that floods mainly occurred in summer in July and August in upper Swat, while riverine floods were experienced in lower Swat. The resultant analysis shows that 95 people died in July 2010, 19 in 2016, and 13 in floods in 2020. The comparison of pre-and-post-flood satellite images reveals that significant changes happened in the post-flood scenario, most notably in the water class, and it was found that the area under water bodies has increased in the post-flood situation.","PeriodicalId":153434,"journal":{"name":"Natural and Applied Sciences International Journal (NASIJ)","volume":"87 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141395466","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}

Weaknesses in the DFIG system can arise from issues with the power grid due to the stator's direct connection and the excitation converter's power rating limitation. Under situations of unbalanced grid voltage, this study aims to explore the efficacy of the Direct Power Control (DPC) approach in managing wind turbine systems based on DFIG. Throughout the experimental investigation, we evaluated the system in standard and unbalanced grid voltage settings. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations implement DPC, specifically tailored for a 9 MW DFIG-based wind farm. The results of these simulations show that the changed control method effectively reduces torque oscillations by making it possible to create active and reactive power references for the rotor-side converter. This eliminates the requirement for sequence component excitation, which was previously necessary. Furthermore, the research highlights the intrinsic link between control techniques and grid circumstances, showing this connectivity's crucial role in improving wind energy systems' stability and operational efficiency based on DFIG.

Moreover, the highest extent of CO2, CH4 and AOD was observed in 2017. At the same time, O3 magnitude was evaluated as high during summer seasons which may be attributed to high temperature that leads to elevated formation of O3.

This study aims to express a clear and precise method for multivariate time series. The models make predictions based on data sets and are trained on past data. Their performance is evaluated using root mean squared error. Their performance was compared, and results are given for the one-hour-ahead forecasts for electricity consumption using machine learning models.

This study employs a mixed-methodology approach, incorporating qualitative methods (interviews) and quantitative analysis (questionnaire surveys and property data analysis). Statistical tools such as Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the Chi-square goodness of fit test were used for correlation and hypothesis testing. This research reveals that proximity to a major road infrastructure project directly impacts property purchase prices, rents, and land development in BTK, either positively or negatively.
