Two females of heterosexual pairs of chimaeric horse twins were fertilized by their co-twin brother and PMSG production examined during gestation. Four pregnancies developed in one mare and two in the other. The levels of PMSG were high in both mares and remained detectable in the peripheral blood until 220 and 265 days of gestation. The fetal membranes of one mare contained remnants of cup secretion with PMSG activity at term. The findings support the thesis of Allen & Moor (1972) that the endometrial cups are of fetal origin and that they are destroyed by immunological mechanisms.

In biomedical research, ovulation induction is a critical step in the reproductive biology of laboratory animals. This study evaluates the efficacy of peforelin, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog, in comparison to pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG, synonym: eCG), traditionally used for ovulation induction in mice. PMSG is derived from the serum of pregnant horses, and its production is becoming increasingly problematic due to animal welfare concerns and regulatory restrictions.

In this study, the use of an Unscented Kalman Filter as an indicator in predictive current control (PCC) for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) that employs a permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) and a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system connected to the main power grid is presented. The suggested UKF indication in the hybrid WECS-SMES arrangement is in charge of estimating vital metrics such as stator currents, electromagnetic torque, rotor angle, and rotor angular speed. To optimize control strategies, PCCs use these projected properties rather than direct observations.

This article represents a novel study of the design and analysis of a wind turbine system that includes a line-side permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with an ultra-step-up DC-DC converter for voltage regulation. Integrating renewable energy sources such as wind power into the grid requires efficient and reliable power conversion systems to handle fluctuating power and ensure a stable power supply. The wind turbine system utilizes a PMSG, which offers several advantages over traditional induction generators, including higher efficiency, reduced maintenance, and better power quality.

Rat animal models are widely used owing to their relatively superior cognitive abilities and higher similarity compared with mouse models to human physiological characteristics. However, their use is limited because of difficulties in establishing embryonic stem cells and performing genetic modifications, and insufficient embryological research. In this study, we established optimal superovulation and fertilized-egg transfer conditions, including optimal hormone injection concentration (≥150 IU/kg of PMSG and hCG) and culture medium (mR1ECM), to obtain high-quality zygotes and establish in vitro fertilization conditions for rats.
