Abstract Sounding rockets provide unique opportunities for microgravity and near-space research, but telemetry bandwidth limitations are a significant challenge to managing large volumes of dynamic vibration data during flight. The present study proposes novel hybrid DCT-modal analysis-based compression method specifically tailored sounding rocket subsystems, raising the scientific question whether incorporating mechanical properties, in this instance, modal analysis, can result more...

Indole alkaloids ellipticine (1), cryptolepine triflate (2a), rationally designed 11-(4-piperidinamino)cryptolepine hydrogen dichloride (2b) and olivacine (3) (an isomer of 1) were evaluated in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum vivo berghei-infected mice. 1-3 inhibited P. (IC₅₀≤1.4 μM, order activity: 2b>1>2a>3). In toxicity to murine macrophages was revealed selectivity indices (SI) 10-12 for 2a SI>2.8×10² 1, 2b 3. 1 administered orally at 50mg/kg/day highly active berghei (in inhibition...

SUMMARY The major changes noted in the roasting of cocoa beans are destruction amino acids and reducing sugars, followed by production volatile earbonyl compounds. relation between these reactions was demonstrated means acid analysis, titrimetric determination gas chromatography. It is postulated that majority compounds produced during course process result oxidative deamination free acids.

Free and bound volatile components of a Brazilian cashew apple variety (Anacardium occidentale L. var. nanum) were obtained by simultaneous distillation−extraction (SDE) XAD-2 adsorption. According to gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses retention indices, 62 free constituents characterized quantified. They esters (40%), terpenes (20%), hydrocarbons (14%), fatty acids (9%), aldehydes (8%), alcohols (3%), lactones ketones (1%), phenols norisoprenoids (1%). The glycosidically...

Carbon steel corrosion in CO2-saturated solutions, simulating the produced water generated oil and gas extraction, was investigated using weight loss, electrochemical measurements surface characterization. The effectiveness of two isatin compounds, N-morpholine-isatin (MI) N-morpholine-3-isatin-thiosemicarbazone (MIT) as inhibitors these highly saline media also evaluated. Only MIT shown to act a inhibitor for carbon immersed both simulated solutions impedance results corroborated mechanisms...

The effect of trans-dehydrocrotonin (t-DCTN) from Croton cajucara Benth. was investigated in mice on Triton WR 1339 (tyloxapol)-induced hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia. Mice treated with single application tyloxapol (400 mg/kg, i.p.) demonstrated significantly increased blood levels total cholesterol triglycerides at 24 h 48 after its injection, compared to normal controls. These increases were found be markedly suppressed animals orally 25 50 mg/kg t-DCTN or 100 gemfibrozil,...

Abstract This work evaluates the performance of compression algorithms based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) when used to encode sounding rockets’ vibration signals. Different methods that use three-step strategy (transform, quantization, and entropy encoder) are presented. The performances evaluated using relationship between rate distortion, latter being measured peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) difference observed in power spectral density. focus is signals from rocket launches...

The study of microgravity, a condition in which an object experiences near-zero weight, is critical area research with far-reaching implications for various scientific disciplines. Microgravity allows scientists to investigate fundamental physical phenomena influenced by Earth’s gravitational forces, opening up new possibilities fields such as materials science, fluid dynamics, and biology. However, the complexity cost developing conducting microgravity missions have historically limited...
