Differential Inequalities and Univalent Functions
Let be the class of analytic functions in the unit disk \ID
with the normalization , and satisfying the condition \left
|z^2\left (\frac{z}{f(z)}\right )''+ f'(z)\left(\frac{z}{f(z)}
\right)^{2}-1\right |\leq 1, \quad z\in \ID. Functions in are
known to be univalent in \ID. In this paper, it is shown that the harmonic
mean of two functions in are closed, that is, it belongs again
to . This result also holds for other related classes of
normalized univalent functions. A number of new examples of functions in
are shown to be starlike in \ID. However we conjecture that
functions in are not necessarily starlike, as apparently
supported by other examples.Comment: 10 pages; To appear in Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematic
Optimization of a charge-state analyzer for ECRIS beams
A detailed experimental and simulation study of the extraction of a 24 keV
He-ion beam from an ECR ion source and the subsequent beam transport through an
analyzing magnet is presented. We find that such a slow ion beam is very
sensitive to space-charge forces, but also that the neutralization of the
beam's space charge by secondary electrons is virtually complete for beam
currents up to at least 0.5 mA. The beam emittance directly behind the
extraction system is 65 pi mm mrad and is determined by the fact that the ion
beam is extracted in the strong magnetic fringe field of the ion source. The
relatively large emittance of the beam and its non-paraxiality lead, in
combination with a relatively small magnet gap, to significant beam losses and
a five-fold increase of the effective beam emittance during its transport
through the analyzing magnet. The calculated beam profile and phase-space
distributions in the image plane of the analyzing magnet agree well with
measurements. The kinematic and magnet aberrations have been studied using the
calculated second-order transfer map of the analyzing magnet, with which we can
reproduce the phase-space distributions of the ion beam behind the analyzing
magnet. Using the transfer map and trajectory calculations we have worked out
an aberration compensation scheme based on the addition of compensating
hexapole components to the main dipole field by modifying the shape of the
poles. The simulations predict that by compensating the kinematic and geometric
aberrations in this way and enlarging the pole gap the overall beam transport
efficiency can be increased from 16 to 45%
Bidirectional Hybrid DC Circuit Breaker with Zero Voltage and Current Switching for Radar Power System
This paper proposes a novel zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) based hybrid DC circuit breaker for a radar power system. Long-range radars demand huge power, in the order of hundreds of kW. Radar's phased array antenna houses a large number of electronic devices and works primarily on a DC power supply. Typically, military systems are required to have the highest operational reliability, as a result, electrical system protection plays a crucial role. A high power 310 V DC electrical power grid in radar carries hundreds of amperes of current under nominal operating conditions, results in significant fault current due to very low impedance, and demands a very fast fault interruption device. This paper proposes and demonstrates the complete operation of a hybrid DC circuit breaker topology for radar applications. The proposed DC circuit breaker employs a mechanical switch that carries the entire current during the nominal operating conditions, and a Power Electronic Module (PEM) connected in parallel helps in diverting the fault current from the main path. Fault current transfers to the PEM branch in a fraction of a second (5μs), which ensures faster load-side isolation. During the fault interruption process, mechanical switch contact opening experiences both ZVS and ZCS features, resulting in arcless operation, and also helps in faster contact separation. The ZVS and ZCS feature greatly improve the reliability of the mechanical switch. The proposed concept does not involve any capacitors and corresponding pre-charging circuits for the ZVS/ZCS features. The proposed DC circuit breaker is analyzed theoretically, and also by simulations in LTspice. Additionally, an experimental prototype with a DC system rating of 310 V - 10 A is developed to experimentally validate the performance of the proposed breaker topology. The paper also presents a detailed design and comparative analysis, along with a discussion on the limitations of the proposed DC circuit breaker, and the scope for improvements

Therapeutic effect of hydroethanolic extract of Trianthema portulacastrum L. against N-Nitroso-N-Methylurea-induced mammary tumors in Wistar rats
406-415This study evaluated the therapeutic action of hydroethanolic extract of Trianthema portulacastrum L. (TPE) on N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU)-induced mammary tumors in Wistar rats. A hydroethanolic was prepared and subjected to qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening. After acclimatization, Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each: Group A (vehicle control), Group B (TPE control), Group C (TPE treatment) and group D (NMU control). NMU (50 mg/kg body weight) was injected intraperitoneally at 50, 80 and 110 days of age. After the induction of palpable tumors, the rats were administered 200 mg/kg bw of TPE by oral gavage for 2 months. The treatment with TPE significantly (pin vivo therapeutic action of TPE extract on NMU-induced mammary tumors.

A hydroethanolic was prepared and subjected to qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening.

After the induction of palpable tumors,the rats were administered 200 mg/kg bw of TPE by oral gavage for 2 months. The treatment with TPE significantly (p<0.05) decreased tumor incidence, frequency, size and malignancy in comparison to the tumor-bearing rats that were not administered TPE. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that TPE treatment significantly reduced the expression of PCNA, VEGF, ER-α and ER-β, and caused non-significant reductions in matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9). Caspase-3 expression significantly increased in TPE-treated rats in comparison with NMU-treated controls. The qRT-PCR resultsshowed PCNA and ER-β expression was down regulated and caspase-3 expression was up regulated in the TPE-treated group. The present study showed the in vivo therapeutic action of TPE extract on NMU-induced mammary tumors. TPE exhibited antitumor activity through its antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, pro-apoptotic, and estrogen receptor-modulatory properties
