RESUMO
Understanding and characterizing multistabilities, whether homogeneous or heterogeneous, is crucial in various fields as it helps to unveil complex system behaviors and provides insights into the resilience and adaptability of these systems when faced with perturbations or changes. Homogeneous and heterogeneous multistabilities refer, respectively, to situation in which various multiple stable states within a system are qualitatively similar or distinct. Generating such complex phenomena with multi-scrolls from inherent circuits is less reported. This paper aims to investigate extreme multistability dynamics with homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-scrolls in two coupled resonant oscillators through a shunted Josephson junction. Analysis of equilibrium points revealed that the system supports both hidden and self-excited attractors. Various dynamical tools, including bifurcation diagrams, spectrum of Lyapunov exponents, and phase portraits, are exploited to establish the connection between the system parameters and various complicated dynamical features of the system. By tuning both system parameters and initial conditions, some striking phenomena, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous extreme multistability, along with the emergence of multi-scrolls, are illustrated. Furthermore, it is observed that one can readily control the number of scrolls purely by varying the initial conditions of the investigated system. A multi-metastable phenomenon is also captured in the system and confirmed using the finite-time Lyapunov exponents. Finally, the microcontroller implementation of the system demonstrates strong alignment with the numerical investigations.
RESUMO
The antidiabetic activity of the aqueous root extract of Pseudarthria viscida (L.) Wight & Arn., Fabaceae, was investigated in normal and neonatal streptozotocin (n2-STZ)-induced non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) rats and compared with glibenclamide as a reference standard. Two different doses (250 and 500 mg/kg) of the extract were administered to normal and experimental diabetic rats for 21 days. Fasting blood glucose levels, serum lipid profiles and changes in body weight were evaluated in normal and diabetic rats while serum insulin, glycated hemoglobin, urea, creatinine, magnesium, protein, albumin and glycogen, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in kidney and liver were evaluated additionally in diabetic rats. Treatment with extract at both dose levels was found to exhibit antidiabetic activity, with the higher dose showing more significant activity.
