Synthesis of Bio-Inspired Silver Nanoparticles by Ripe and Unripe Fruit Extract of Tinospora cordifolia and Its Antioxidant, Antibacterial and Catalytic Studies

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by both ripe and unripe fruit extract was carried out by an important medicinal plant Tinospora cordifolia. The ripe and unripe fruit extract mediated bioinspired Ag NPs showed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 431 and 421 nm respectively and confirmed the formation of Tc-Ag NPs. The functional groups of bioactive components of ripe and unripe fruits were identified which reduced silver nitrate to silver ions by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The size distribution of biosynthesized Tc-Ag NPs of ripe and unripe was determined by particle size analyzer which revealed that the Z average of Tc-Ag NPs was around 3035 nm ± 1 nm and 30-35.8 nm ± 1 nm with an Z average of 25.9 and 28.5 nm respectively. Tc-Ag NPs exhibited stability due to its high negative zeta potential for both ripe and unripe fruit extract mediated Tc-Ag NPs as of -27.2 and -24.6 mV. Tc-Ag NPs were used to evaluate the antibacterial, antioxidant and catalytic activities. The Tc-Ag NPs revealed good antimicrobial activity. Antibiotic erythromycin was used as a standard in the present study. The Tc-Ag NPs of both ripe and unrippen fruits disclosed greater free radical scavenging efficacy which proved to be potent antioxidant agents and also exhibited potential catalytic activity by converting 4 nitro-phenol to 4 amino phenols at rapid pace. It was concluded that the Tc-Ag NPs synthesized by ripe and unripe fruits almost showed similar results, and so both of them proved to have excellent multifunctional biomedical properties.

Evaluation of nerium cultivars for morphological, flowering and yield traits under Coimbatore conditions

Nerium (Nerium oleander L.) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae. The family has a widespread distribution throughout tropical and temperate regions. Nerium is an ornamental plant used in the urban landscaping due to its spectacular flowering which can have different colorations as the variety and its resistance to long drought periods. The objectives of this study were to evaluate four nerium cultivars for vegetative, flowering and yield straits. The cultivars under study showed significant variation for different characters. Among the four cultivars of nerium, Pink cultivar recorded maximum plant height, plant spread, number of branches, internodal length and leaf width and lowest plant height, plant spread, number of branches, internodal length and leaf width, was recorded in Yellow cultivar at six month after planting. Regarding leaf length, highest leaf length was recorded in White cultivar and lowest leaf length was recorded in Yellow cultivar at six month after planting. Similarly Pink cultivar recorded maximum number of inflorescences per plant, number of flowers per inflorescence, flower diameter, corolla tube length, hundred bud weight and yield per plant on other hand lowest number of inflorescence per plant in Yellow cultivar, number of flowers per plant, flower diameter and corolla tube length in white cultivar, hundred bud weight and yield per plant in Yellow cultivar. From the study it was found that Pink cultivar was found as superior for vegetative, flowering and yield traits. Hence, the Pink cultivar may be used in breeding programme for further varietal development.
Diverse student bodies and diverging performance trajectories

Recent research suggests there is a divergence of performance between UK and Chinese students as they progress through their degree. The current study uses a large dataset that includes sufficient detail to enable us to categorise students according to their previous educational experience to test for differential progression trajectories across a broader range of categories. We find that students who progress with identical grades subsequently experience a systematic divergence of performance that depends on the subject they are studying and their previous educational experience. Not only are inferior performance trajectories not restricted to Chinese students, but for more quantitative courses the performance of Chinese students frequently progresses at a rate that is comparable or superior to UK and other international students. The results not only contribute to our understanding of student achievement, but they also have practical implications for student recruitment, curriculum design and student support.

Mantle-Derived Corundum-Bearing Felsic Dykes May Survive Only within the Lower (Refractory/Inert) Crust: Evidence from Zircon Geochemistry and Geochronology (Ivrea–Verbano Zone, Southern Alps, Italy)

Corundum-rich (up to 55 vol.%) felsic dykes formed with albite, ±K-feldspar, ±hercynite and ±biotite-siderophyllite cut the lower crustal rocks exposed in the Ivrea–Verbano Zone (NW Italy). Zircon is an abundant accessory mineral and its investigation through laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma (multi-collector)-mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-(MC)MS) has allowed results to directly constrain the timing of emplacement, as well as petrology and geochemistry of parental melts. Zircons are characterized by very large concentration in rare earth elements (REE), Th, U, Nb and Ta, and negative Eu anomaly. U–Pb analysis points to Norian emplacement ages (223 ± 7 Ma and 224 ± 6 Ma), whereas large positive εHf(t) values (+13 on average) indicate a derivation from depleted to mildly enriched mantle source. The mantle signature and the corundum oversaturation were preserved thanks to limited crustal contamination of the host, high-temperature refractory granulites and mafic intrusives. According to the geochemical data and to the evidence of the development of violent explosions into the conduits, it is proposed that dykes segregated from peraluminous melts produced by exsolution processes affecting volatile-rich differentiates during alkaline magmatism. This work provides robust evidence about the transition of the geochemical affinity of Southern Alps magmatism from orogenic-like to anorogenic during Norian time, linked to a regional uprising of the asthenosphere and change of tectonic regime.
Heat Exchanger Sizing for Organic Rankine Cycle

Approximately 45% of power generated by conventional power systems is wasted due to power conversion process limitations. Waste heat recovery can be achieved in an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) by converting low temperature waste heat into useful energy, at relatively low-pressure operating conditions. The ORC system considered in this study utilises R-1234yf as the working fluid; the work output and thermal efficiency were evaluated for several operational pressures. Plate and shell and tube heat exchangers were analysed for the three sections: preheater, evaporator and superheater for the hot side; and precooler and condenser for the cold side. Each heat exchanger section was sized using the appropriate correlation equations for single-phase and two-phase fluid models. The overall heat exchanger size was evaluated for optimal operational conditions. It was found that the plate heat exchanger out-performed the shell and tube in regard to the overall heat transfer coefficient and area.
Identification and development of genic male sterile line in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.)

A male sterile plant named DKC-2363, in the population of chilli line DKC-5 was detected in 2005 at Horticultural Regional Research Station Dhaulakuan (HP). To reproduce the plant progeny, this plant was crossed with seven other male fertile plants of the same population. The F1 population of six crosses produced fertile progeny while the population of a cross named DKC-2363 x P4 segregated into 1:1 ratio of fertile: sterile plants, consecutively for five years. Such inheritance indicates the presence of genic male sterility controlled by single recessive gene.
Preservation of Raw Camel Milk by Lactoperoxidase System Using Hydrogen Peroxide Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) activated lactoperoxidase system (LPs) on keeping quality of raw camel milk at room temperature. Camel milk samples were collected from Errer valley, Babile district of eastern Ethiopia. The level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for activation of LPs was optimized using different levels of exogenous H2O2. Strains of LAB (Lactococcus lactis 22333, Weissella confusa 22308, W. confusa 22282, W. confusa 22296, S. Infatarius 22279 and S. lutetiensis 22319) with H2O2 producing properties were evaluated, and W. confusa 22282 was selected as the best strain to produce H2O2. Storage stability of the milk samples was evaluated through the acidification curves, titratable acidity (TA), total bacterial count (TBC) and coliform counts (CC) at storage times of 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 hours. The LP activity and the inhibitory effect of activated LPs were evaluated by growing E. coli in pasteurized and boiled camel milk samples as contaminating agent. Results indicated that the W. confusa 22282 activated LPs generally showed significantly (P 2O2 producing LAB and exogenous H2O2 activated LPs in pasteurized camel milk significantly reduced the growth of E. coli population compared to non-activated pasteurized milk. Overall, the result of acid production and microbial analysis indicated that the activation of LPs by H2O2 producing LAB (i.e. W. confusa 22282) maintained the storage stability of raw camel milk. Therefore, it can be concluded that the activation of LPs by biological method using H2O2 producing LAB can substitute the chemical activation method of LPs in camel milk.

Application of Lean Manufacturing Concepts to Reduce Manufacturing Lead Times within the Meatball Production Process

The case study company, a meatball manufacturer, is having problem meeting customer demand. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to help reduce the case study company’s manufacturing lead times through the application of Lean Manufacturing concepts. Value Stream Mapping was used to identify the key problems to be found across the production process. It was found that the current process used to lower the temperature of the meatballs causes a bottleneck as it takes 16 hours, which represents 92% of the entire production time. To release this bottleneck, a one-half fraction of a 2 experimental design was used to determine those parameters that significantly affect the temperature of the meatballs in the meatball cooling processes. As a result, the study established a new process; that before placing the meatballs in the refrigerator, the company should change from cooling them down using blowing air at room temperature, to dropping cold water on them for 10 minutes. Introducing this change reduced the time taken to lower the temperature of the meatballs from 16 hours to 4.5 hours, a reduction of 71%. This new process will allow the company to increase the number of meatballs products manufactured, plus will allow the company to meet customer demands while delivering the same high quality product.

Effect of gamma rays, ethyl methane sulphonate and sodium azide on seedling traits, fertility and varietal sensitivity in Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)

Seeds of two mungbean varieties viz., WGG-42 and LGG-460 were treated with various dose/concentrations of gamma radiation (200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 Gy) and ethyl methane sulphonate (0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.6%) and sodium azide (1 mM, 2 mM and 3 mM) for studying the effect of the mutagens on seedling emergence (%), seedling survival (%), seedling height (cm), pollen fertility (%) and seed fertility (%) in M1 generation. The increasing dose/concentration of mutagens, decreased seedling emergence (%), seedling survival (%), seedling height (cm) and pollen fertility (%) in both the varieties of mungbean. The reductions in all these traits were observed to be more prominent in SA treatments followed by EMS and gamma rays treatments. The variety WGG-42 was found highly sensitive to various mutagens when compared with LGG-460.
Analysis of Acoustic Observations of Double‐Diffusive Finestructure in the Arctic Ocean

Double‐diffusive convection may occur if both temperature and salinity increase with depth, as in the Arctic Ocean. The process is identifiable by a staircase structure, with mixed layers separated by high‐gradient interfaces in temperature and salinity. These staircases, which persist if turbulence levels are weak, are widely present in the Arctic Ocean and responsible for transporting heat toward the overlying sea ice. Acoustic observations (reflection coefficients) from a broadband echo sounder are analyzed here to track the detailed evolution of interfaces in the Arctic's double‐diffusive staircase. We infer interface thicknesses from reflection coefficient profiles and find that thicknesses appear to be related to water column displacements. Further, we relate reflection coefficients to interface stratification and interpret stratification changes in the context of turbulence acting to thicken interfaces. The high‐resolution capabilities of the echo sounder allow for insights into how double‐diffusive heat fluxes and inferred mixing levels may vary in space/time.
