Silver metal oxide materials of three different compositions Ag-10CdO, Ag-7.6SnO2-2.3ln2O3 and Ag-10ZnO were prepared by internal oxidation process under identical processing conditions. These materials were tested for electrical conductivity, hardness, and erosion loss. Performing an accelerated test on the actual contactor assessed the electrical performance, involving erosion loss and temperature rise of the processed materials. The arc-eroded surface was characterized under scanning electron microscope. The study of the eroded surfaces of contacts indicates that the thermal stability of metal oxides depends on nature of silver-metal oxide interface and their mode of erosion. An attempt is made to correlate the surface features of the eroded contacts with the thermal stability of metal oxides.展开更多

Methods: Reduced glutathione wasmeasured in the seminal plasma by the method of Moron et al (1979), and vitamin E estimation was performed by themethod of Taylor et al (1976). Results: Vitamin E levels in seminal plasma of oligospermic and azoospennic sam-ples were significantly decreased to 65.54% and 66.04% respectively as compared to the normospermic group. Levelsof reduced glutathione were also significantly decreased in oligospermic and azoospennic group, and the reduction inazoospermic group (76.73%) was more pronounced than oligozoospermic group (62.07%). Conclusion. The de-crease in reduced glutathione, an endogenous antioxidant, levels in azoospermic and oligozoospermic conditions maycause dismption in the membrane integrity of spermatozoa as a consequence of increased oxidative stress.展开更多
