TL;DR: In this article, modified function projective synchronization between hyperchaotic Lorenz system and Lu system using adaptive method using Lyapunov stability theory has been investigated, and the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived to make the state of two hyper-chaotic systems modified functionprojective synchronized.

Inhibition of Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis by a dietary antioxidant is a novel approach. Quercetin is one of the most abundant dietary flavonoids widely present in many fruits and vegetables, possesses potent antioxidant and anticancer properties. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is a key oncomiR significantly elevated in the majority of human cancers that exerts its oncogenic activity by targeting the tumor suppressor gene programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). The present study examined the effect of quercetin on the inhibition of Cr(VI)-induced malignant cell transformation and the role of miR-21-PDCD4 signaling involved. Our results showed that quercetin decreased ROS generation induced by Cr(VI) exposure in BEAS-2B cells. Chronic Cr(VI) exposure induced malignant cell transformation, increased miR-21 expression and caused inhibition of PDCD4, which were significantly inhibited by the treatment of quercetin in a dose dependent manner. Nude mice injected with BEAS-2B cells chronically exposed to Cr(VI) in the presence of quercetin showed reduced tumor incidence compared to Cr(VI) alone treated group. Stable knockdown of miR-21 and overexpression of PDCD4 or catalase in BEAS-2B cells suppressed Cr(VI)-induced malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. Taken together, these results demonstrate that quercetin is able to protect BEAS-2B cells from Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis by targeting miR-21-PDCD4 signaling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of perceived supervisor support and psychological empowerment on employee engagement and found that psychological empowerment fully mediated the relationship between perceived supervising support and employee engagement.
Abstract: This research examines the impact of perceived supervisor support and psychological empowerment on employee engagement. Social exchange theory and job demands-resources model of work engagement are used for explaining the association between these constructs. Data for the sample was collected from 177 employees in three service sector organizations in Central Kerala, South India. Regression analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. The results showed that perceived supervisor support and psychological empowerment positively influenced employee engagement and perceived supervisor support positively influenced psychological empowerment. Also, it was found that psychological empowerment fully mediated the relationship between perceived supervisor support and employee engagement. This research adds to the current body of literature by providing insight into the influence of perceived supervisor support and psychological empowerment on employee engagement in the Indian context.
