STYLISTIC ANALYSIS ON WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR’S ‘ACON AND RHODOPE; OR, INCONSTANTLY’

This descriptive study is aimed to find out the types and the functions of imagery and to figure out the examples and the functions of archaic words which are found in poem. The documentary data was used in form of poem script “Acon and Rhodope; or, Inconstantly” written by Walter Savage Landor. Content analysis was used by the writer to analyze the content of poem which was adapted from Cohen, et al. (2007, p. 475). The findings showed that there were 174 words or expressions found in poem which were divided into seven types of imagery such as: visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, tactile, thermal, and kinesthesia. There were also seven functions of imagery in the poem: 1) visual imagery representing the sense of sight; 2) auditory imagery representing the sense of sound; 3) gustatory imagery or representing the sense of taste; 4) olfactory imagery representing the sense of smell; 5) tactile imagery representing the sense of touch; 6) thermal imagery representing the sense of heat and cold; and 7) kinesthesia imagery appealing to physical sensations of movement, balance, and muscular tension. Also, there were 95 archaic words found in poem to enhance the aesthetical or musical value of the poem, to find out the social life, customs, belief systems and generally cultural richness of the time he emerged, and to make his language old and solemn. It is suggested for the teacher to understand stylistic analysis used by the poets in their poems; and introduce stylistic analysis to the students so that they can improve knowledge of stylistic analysis and understand its meanings. Keywords: archaic words, imagery, stylistic analysis, Walter Savage Landor
RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF WHELPING SYMPTOMS AND MATERNAL CHANGES IN SIXTY UTERINE INERTIA CASES IN CANINES

Uterine inertia is a significant cause of maternal dystocia in bitches. This study was undertaken to identify the various whelping symptoms and maternal changes that might occur uterine inertia in 60 female dogs presented fortreatment at VCC, Nagpur Veterinary College, Nagpur. During the present study, the temperature, heart, pulse and respiratory rates were within normal physiological limits at the time of presentation. In the present investigation only those bitches were included which had duration of pregnancy period of minimum 58 days from the day of initial mating and the mean gestational length was calculated as the interval from the first day of mating to the time of presentation. Comparative duration of gestational length in bitches suffering from uterine inertia was studied on the basis of first mating date and on the basis of ultrasound measurements of foetal head.
High-resolution topograms of fingerprints using multiwavelength digital holography

Abstract. Fingerprint analysis is a popular identification technique due to the uniqueness of fingerprints and the convenience of recording them. The quality of a latent fingerprint on a surface can depend on various conditions, such as the time of the day, temperature, and the composition of sweat. We first developed latent fingerprints on transparent and blackened glass slides by depositing 1000-nm-thick columnar thin films (CTFs) of chalcogenide glass of nominal composition Ge28Sb12Se60. Then, we used transmission-/reflection-mode multiwavelength digital holography to construct the topograms of CTF-developed fingerprints on transparent/blackened glass slides. The two wavelengths chosen were 514.5 and 457.9 nm, yielding a synthetic wavelength of 4.1624 μm, which is sufficient to resolve pores of depths 1 to 2 μm. Thus, our method can be used to measure the level-3 details that are usually difficult to observe with most other techniques applied to latent fingerprints.

Generation of Highly Oblique Lower Band Chorus Via Nonlinear Three‐Wave Resonance

Chorus in the inner magnetosphere has been observed frequently at geomagnetically active times, typically exhibiting a two‐band structure with a quasi‐parallel lower band and an upper band with a broad range of wave normal angles. But recent observations by Van Allen Probes confirm another type of lower band chorus, which has a large wave normal angle close to the resonance cone angle. It has been proposed that these waves could be generated by a low‐energy beam‐like electron component or by temperature anisotropy of keV electrons in the presence of a low‐energy plateau‐like electron component. This paper, however, presents an alternative mechanism for generation of this highly oblique lower band chorus. Through a nonlinear three‐wave resonance, a quasi‐parallel lower band chorus wave can interact with a mildly oblique upper band chorus wave, producing a highly oblique quasi‐electrostatic lower band chorus wave. This theoretical analysis is confirmed by 2‐D electromagnetic particle‐in‐cell simulations. Furthermore, as the newly generated waves propagate away from the equator, their wave normal angle can further increase and they are able to scatter low‐energy electrons to form a plateau‐like structure in the parallel velocity distribution. The three‐wave resonance mechanism may also explain the generation of quasi‐parallel upper band chorus which has also been observed in the magnetosphere.
What's Brewing? A Statistics Education Discovery Project

ABSTRACT We believe that students learn best, are actively engaged, and are genuinely interested when working on real-world problems. This can be done by giving students the opportunity to work collaboratively on projects that investigate authentic, familiar problems. This article shares one such project that was used in an introductory statistics course. We describe the steps taken to investigate why customers are charged more for iced coffee than hot coffee, which included collecting data and using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Interspersed throughout the article, we describe strategies that can help teachers implement the project and scaffold material to assist students who may have gaps in their mathematical background and offer suggestions if using the lesson with students who are mathematically stronger. Students were highly motivated and enthusiastic to work on a problem with a rich, readily understood context. This article provides teachers with an alternative way to assess student learning, and gives students the opportunity to work the way statisticians work.

The aim of study to assess the shelf life of chicken meatballs made with or without incorporation of whey protein concentrate and skim milk powder at refrigeration temperature (4±1°C). During storage of chicken meatballs the moisture, protein and fat declined significantly while pH, TBA, Tyrosine values increased significantly. The sensory scores for all the attributes declined with the progress of storage but all the products were acceptable up to 20th day of storage. Similarly, the total plate count, psychrophilic count and staphylococcal count increased significantly during 20 days storage but were within the spoilage limit. It is concluded that that the product could be safely stored for 20 days at refrigeration temperature without adversely affecting the sensory and physico-chemical characteristics.
Phenotypical and molecular assessments on the pharmacological effects of curcumin in Drosophila melanogaster

Curcumin, a dietary polyphenol derived from turmeric’s rhizome, exhibits a range of pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been investigated for its therapeutic potential in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to its ability to inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), modulate oxidative stress, impact cell viability, and regulate gene expression. However, most studies have been limited to in vitro conditions. To address this gap, we conducted in vivo experiments using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to explore the antioxidant activities and biological significance of curcumin. Several parameters were assessed using different assays, including curcumin toxicity assay, fly survival, locomotor response to curcumin treatment (with or without cigarette smoke), trypan blue staining, larval crawling assays, and gene expression analysis. Our data revealed no significant differences in toxicity and locomotor tests across various curcumin concentrations. D. melanogaster tolerated curcumin at concentrations of 0.5 μM, 5 μM, 50 μM, and 500 μM, suggesting its safety without negatively impacting locomotor. Furthermore, curcumin at 5 μM extended the lifespan of D. melanogaster exposed to cigarette smoke, while reversing the negative effects of smoke exposure on gut cell viability and larval locomotor activity. In conclusion, curcumin administration appeared safe for D. melanogaster, with potential benefits for longevity and locomotory function. These findings support the idea that curcumin possesses in vivo antioxidant properties and may serve as a promising pharmacological agent. However, further study is needed to explore its potential applications in human health and disease management, particularly in the context of COPD.
Non-localized boundary layer instabilities resulting from leading edge receptivity at moderate supersonic Mach numbers

This paper uses matched asymptotic expansions to study the non-localized (which we refer to as global) boundary layer instabilities generated by free-stream acoustic and vortical disturbances at moderate supersonic Mach numbers. The vortical disturbances produce an unsteady boundary layer flow that develops into oblique instability waves with a viscous triple-deck structure in the downstream region. The acoustic disturbances (which for reasons given herein are assumed to have obliqueness angles that are close to a certain critical angle) generate slow boundary layer disturbances which eventually develop into oblique stable disturbances with an inviscid triple-deck structure in a region that lies downstream of the viscous triple-deck region. The paper shows that both the vortically generated instabilities and the acoustically generated oblique disturbances ultimately develop into modified Rayleigh-type instabilities (which can either grow or decay) further downstream.
Review of experimental Richtmyer–Meshkov instability in shock tube: From simple to complex

Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instability is regarded as a central role for understanding the hydrodynamic processes involved in inertial confinement fusion, supersonic combustion and supernova explosion. Because of its academic implication and engineering applications, the RM instability has received much attention since it was proposed. As an important tool for studying RM instability, shock tube experiment on shock–fluid interface interaction has been widely adopted and great progress has been achieved in past decades. The generation of a shock wave, the formation of an initial interface and the diagnostic of flow field are the three elements for studying the RM instability experimentally. This review surveys the advances in experimental investigations of RM instability in shock tube environment. Originating from a simple configuration as a planar shock interacting with a simple perturbed interface, the experimental study of RM instability approaches more complex situations like a convergent shock with a simple interface, or a planar shock with a complex interface. It is then expected that the experimental study on the real circumstance may be realized by using a complex shock with a complex interface. Finally, we propose the following issues for future study: (1) evolution of the RM instability induced by cylindrically converging shock waves; (2) effect of the three dimensions on the RM instability; (3) interaction of perturbed shock wave with an initially uniform or perturbed interface; and (4) formation and mixing mechanism of the compressible turbulence in the final stage of the RM instability.
Correlation of Physical Activity to Mental Health State and Grade Point Average Among Medical Students in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) significantly impacts mental health. However, studies addressing the influence of PA on the mental health and academic performance of medical students are scarce. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,819 students pursuing their medical degrees in Saudi Arabia. PA was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the state of their mental health was recorded using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. A multi-logistic regression was performed to predict the risk factor of poor academic performance. Results: The prevalence of abnormal anxiety and depression levels were found to be 45.3% and 31.6%, respectively, which were comparatively more prevalent among students of younger age (p < 0.001). Students with abnormal anxiety levels had significantly lower grade point average (GPA) levels than others (p < 0.001). Those who were aged < 21 years, female gender, with chronic disease presence, low PA levels, and abnormal anxiety levels were independently associated with lower GPA levels (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Low PA and high anxiety and depression levels were found to affect the academic performance of medical students in Saudi Arabia. Hence, health education about the importance of PA should be directed to those students.
Graphene-Al 2 O 3 -silicon heterojunction solar cells on flexible silicon substrates

The quest of obtaining sustainable, clean energy is an ongoing challenge. While silicon-based solar cells have widespread acceptance in practical commercialization, continuous research is important to expand applicability beyond fixed-point generation to other environments while also improving power conversion efficiency (PCE), stability, and cost. In this work, graphene-on-silicon Schottky junction and graphene-insulator-silicon (GIS) solar cells are demonstrated on flexible, thin foils, which utilize the electrical conductivity and optical transparency of graphene as the top transparent contact. Multi-layer graphene was grown by chemical vapor deposition on Cu-Ni foils, followed by p-type doping with Au nanoparticles and encapsulated in poly(methyl methacrylate), which showed high stability with minimal performance degradation over more than one month under ambient conditions. Bendable silicon film substrates were fabricated by a kerf-less exfoliation process based on spalling, where the silicon film th.
Evaluation of Lactic Acid Bacteria for the Control of Aflatoxin Contamination in Silage

: This study evaluated the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on fermentation and aflatoxin concentrations of napier grass, whole crop green maize and whole crop dry maize plant silages, infested with aflatoxigenic mold Aspergillus flavus. The forage was chopped into 10kg portions in duplicates and inoculated with 100 ml of 10 6-7 CFU/ml, B2 27 Lb. plantarum/pentosus/paraplantarum (LAB1); B410 Lb. plantarum/pentosus/paraplantarum (LAB 2); LAB 1 + 100 ml of cultured spores (100 cfu/ml) of mold; LAB 2 + 100 ml of cultured spores (100 cfu/ml) of mold ; control 1-no addition; control 2 – mold only; control 3 – LAB 1 only; control 4 – LAB 2 only. The inoculated silage bags were sealed for 90 days and sampling done monthly to evaluate LAB, fungal counts and aflatoxin B1. Dry matter (DM), pH, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) were determined using AOAC methods. Mold population decreased in month one but increased thereafter. Silage type determined LAB ( p = 6.2e-08) and mold ( p = 3.9e-08) proliferation. Dry maize and napier grass silages favoured LAB and mold growth, respectively. LAB inhibited mold growth and aflatoxin production ( p = 2.2e-04). Silage pH in the third month ranged between 4.55 – 5.67 with no smell of butyric acid. Though napier and dry maize plants showed higher nutritional qualities, they favoured mold growth and aflatoxin proliferation. Aflatoxin-inhibiting LAB starters are useful in controlling aflatoxin risk in silage.
Microwave-photonics direction finding system for interception of low probability of intercept radio frequency signals

Abstract. Direction finding (DF) systems are fundamental electronic support measures for electronic warfare. A number of DF techniques have been developed over the years; however, these systems are limited in bandwidth and resolution and suffer from a complex design for frequency downconversion. The design of a photonic DF technique for the detection and DF of low probability of intercept (LPI) signals is investigated. Key advantages of this design include a small baseline, wide bandwidth, high resolution, minimal space, weight, and power requirement. A robust postprocessing algorithm that utilizes the minimum Euclidean distance detector provides consistence and accurate estimation of angle of arrival (AoA) for a wide range of LPI waveforms. Experimental tests using frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) and P4 modulation signals were conducted in an anechoic chamber to verify the system design. Test results showed that the photonic DF system is capable of measuring the AoA of the LPI signals with 1-deg resolution over a 180 deg field-of-view. For an FMCW signal, the AoA was determined with a RMS error of 0.29 deg at 1-deg resolution. For a P4 coded signal, the RMS error in estimating the AoA is 0.32 deg at 1-deg resolution.
Seasonal variation affects biochemical and immunological traits of various rural backyard poultry under tropical climatic conditions of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India

ABSTRACT The performance and productivity in poultry flocks are affected by climate change, especially in tropical islands. This study has been designed to understand the impact of two major seasons viz. summer (February-June) and rainy (July-September) on biochemical and immunological traits in three backyard poultry breeds viz. Desi (non-descript indigenous), Nicobari Fowl, and Vanaraja of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, for the first time. Ninety adult poultry birds were randomly selected from three different rural villages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands including Desi (D, n = 30), Nicobari Fowl (NF, n = 30) and Vanaraja (V, n = 30). Ten birds each of D, NF and V from each village (sex ratio− 1:1) were chosen for the study. Serum samples collected (n=/bird/season/breed) from the three breeds were analysed. The study revealed that season had significant effect on biochemical parameters, i.e. serum albumin (p < 0.0001), globulin (p < 0.01), ALP (p < 0.05), total bilirubin (p < 0.05) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (p < 0.05). Moreover, season had significant effect on immune parameters i.e. IL−2 (p < 0.0001), IL−4 (p < 0.0001), IL−6 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.05), HSP−70 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.01), TLR−4 (p < 0.01&p < 0.05) and INF-γ (p < 0.0001). It was observed that breed had significant effect on total bilirubin (D-V & NF-V, p < 0.0001), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (NF-V, p < 0.01 &D-V, p < 0.05). And also had significant effect on. IL−2 (D-NF, p < 0.001 &NF-V, p < 0.01), IL−4 (D-NF& D-V, p < 0.0001;NF-V, p < 0.05; D-V&NF-V, p < 0.01), IL−6 (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001), HSP−70 (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001; D-NF p < 0.01; NF-V, p < 0.05), and INF-γ (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001&D-NF, p < 0.05). This study could establish the seasonal influence on biochemical and immunological traits of rural backyard poultry breeds in tropical climate of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
