Effect of different seed deterioration treatments and germination under different temperatures on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in Pumpkin (Cucurbita p... by S. Ghahremani, M. Sedghi, R. Seyed Sharifi

“…The highest respiration index (0.018 mg) achieved in 5 days deterioration and 35°C and the lowest value (0.009 mg) was related to 10 days deterioration and 35°C. It seems that reduction in seed vigor under deterioration and high temperatures causes to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation and leads to increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in order to face the related damages. …”

Analysis of Rotor Lamination Sleeve Loss in High-Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor by Yiming Tian, Shiqiang Liang, Fukang Wang, Jiahao Tian, Kai Chen, Shi Liu

“…This investigation demonstrated that compared with conventional solid sleeves, segmented sleeves, and carbon fibre sleeves, the laminated structure with a coordinated design of aluminium oxide and epoxy resin insulating layers effectively blocked the eddy current paths to achieve a substantial reduction in the sleeve eddy current density. This research concurrently highlights that the dynamic stress response and long-term operational reliability require further experimental validation. …”
