LP-Conjugation: Unraveling Time Series Dynamics through Chaotic Map Convolution
Get PDFLP-Conjugation, introduced by Padua and Libao, is a versatile method used in solving the Inverse Frobenius-Perron problem (IFPP) for chaotic systems based on time series data. While their initial work focused on the logistic map and prime gap data, this article highlights the broader significance of LP-Conjugation as a powerful tool for the IFPP. Any chaotic map can be employed with established chaotic time series data to reconstruct unknown maps. LP-Conjugation utilizes a known chaotic map ?(?) and invariant distribution F(?) to construct an unknown chaotic map ?(?) with known invariant distribution H(?). The article presents a detailed proof, illustrating the method's robustness and adaptability. Further illustrations on how to construct a chaotic map from this logistic-based chaotic map sample is also provided. Real-world examples demonstrate LP-Conjugation's efficacy in diverse applications, solidifying its role as a valuable approach for solving the IFPP and understanding chaotic dynamics.

No full textThe study was aimed at evaluating the effects of an aqueous extract of Allium sativum on the biochemical parameters and histo-architecture of lead-induced cerebella damage in male Wistar rats. Sixteen male rats were procured for the study. They were divided into 4 groups, with 4 rats in each group. Group 1 (Control group) received only food and water, those in group 2 were given lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg body weight. Group 3 received lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg body weight and the extract at 300 mg/kg body weight while those in group 4 were given lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight of the extract. The extracts were administered orally for 21 days. Blood samples were collected for biochemical evaluation. The rats were sacrificed, and their cerebella were harvested for histo-morphological studies. The levels of Superoxide dismutase (22.49 ± 1.21) and Malondialdehyde (1.17 ± 0.092) were normal in group 1. There was significant derangement in their levels in group 2, Superoxide dismutase (9.83 ± 0.93) and Malondialdehyde (11.42 ± 1.82). In groups 3 and 4, the levels of Superoxide dismutase increased towards the levels of the control group (12.81 ± 1.13, 16.06 ± 0.29), while those of Malondialdehyde also decreased towards the levels of the control group (6.49 ± 0.57, 3.12 ± 0.36). The histo-architecture of the cerebella in group 1, appeared normal, those in group 2 showed traumatic encephalopathy of the granular cell layer. In groups 3 and 4, there was mild tissue traumatic encephalopathy. The extract of A. sativum showed a significant protective effect on the biochemical parameters and histo-architecture of lead-induced cerebella damage in adult male Wistar rats

WINGED WORDS AND RELATED LANGUAGE UNITS
No full textWinged words have a special place in national and world culture; they represent the thoughts of famous philosophers, scientists, writers and statesmen in a polished form. Winged words are individual phrases that are used as a figurative expression in speech. They are widely used in the speech of peoples who speak different languages. Winged words have entered the language as a whole and are used as an expressive description of social, domestic, and spiritual phenomena. They are phrases that clearly and figuratively convey deep thoughts in a concise form, briefly clarify the meaning of complex situations and characters, and move from language to language. Winged words differ from other linguistic units in terms of stability, meaningfulness, specific formation, and active use, association with an event or occasion, re-perception in the mind, ownership of an author or source. The following article will discuss the difference between the existing winged words in the French language and such units as phraseological units, aphorisms, proverbs and sayings, maxims, sentences, adages, and quotations. The specific features of each unit are analyzed in detail, similarities and differences are explained with the help of examples, and concluding remarks are given
Expression of Acetyl Coa Carboxylase Gene from Cleome Viscosa L. and Its Seed Oil
No full textAsian spider flower (Cleome viscosa L.) is annual herbaceous weed plant. Its seed oil has similar properties to the seed oil from Jatropha curcas L. which is the biodiesel plant. This research focused on the expression of acetyl CoA carboxylase gene in 4 stages of seeds (1-4 weeks after fruit set (WAF)) by Reverse transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) is the essential enzyme for the first step in the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty and glycerol. The heteromeric ACCase consists of 4 subunits. accA, accB and accC gene were located in nuclear, while the accD gene was in chloroplast. The result showed that the expression of accA gene showed the most highly expressed in 3 WAF, while the expression of accC and accD showed the most highly expression in 2-3 WAF. These results indicated that co-expression of accA, accC and accD were highest in 3 WAF and down regulated in 4 WAF. In contrast, accB gene showed the high expression level in 4 weeks after fruit set. The total oil was obtained by petroleum ether soxhlet extraction. The high oil content was 3-4 WAF. These findings suggested that comparatively high expression of the Accase gene related to the persistence of oil accumulation during the late stage of seed oil formation for C. viscosa L
