Antioxidant and antihemolytic activities of methanol extract of Hyssopus angustifolius
This study was designed to evaluate antioxidant and antihemolytic activities of Hyssopus angustifolius flower, stem and leaf methanol extracts by employing various in vitro assays. The leaf extract showed the best activity in DPPH (63.2 ± 2.3 μg mL-1) and H2O2  (55.6 ± 2.6 μg mL-1) models compared to the other extracts. However, flower extract exhibited the highest Fe2+ chelating activity (131.4 ± 4.4 μg mL-1). The extracts exhibited good antioxidant activity in linoleic acid peroxidation and reducing power assays, but were not comparable to vitamin C. The stem (23.58 ± 0.7 μg mL-1) and leaf (26.21 ± 1 μg mL-1) extracts showed highest level of antihemolytic activity than the flower extract
Patterned and Disordered Continuous Abelian Sandpile Model
We study critical properties of the continuous Abelian sandpile model with
anisotropies in toppling rules that produce ordered patterns on it. Also we
consider the continuous directed sandpile model perturbed by a weak quenched
randomness and study critical behavior of the model using perturbative
conformal field theory and show the model has a new random fixed point.Comment: 11 Pages, 6 figure
Pulse and quench induced dynamical phase transition in a chiral multiferroic spin chain
Quantum dynamics of magnetic order in a chiral multiferroic chain is studied.
We consider two different scenarios: Ultrashort terahertz (THz) excitations or
a sudden electric field quench. Performing analytical and numerical exact
diagonalization calculations we trace the pulse induced spin dynamics and
extract quantities that are relevant to quantum information processing. In
particular, we analyze the dynamics of the system chirality, the von Neumann
entropy, the pairwise and the many body entanglement. If the characteristic
frequencies of the generated states are non-commensurate then a partial loss of
pair concurrence occurs. Increasing the system size this effect becomes even
more pronounced. Many particle entanglement and chirality are robust and
persist in the incommensurate phase. To analyze the dynamical quantum
transitions for the quenched and pulsed dynamics we combined the Weierstrass
factorization technique for entire functions and Lanczos exact diagonalization
method. For a small system we obtained analytical results including the rate
function of Loschmidt echo. Exact numerical calculations for a system up to 40
spins confirm phase transition. Quench- induced dynamical transitions have been
extensively studied recently. Here we show that related dynamical transitions
can be achieved and controlled by appropriate electric field pulses.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures, submitted in PR
