Published: May 2021

The effect of fabrication methods on polysiloxane (POS) composites were studied by analysing both method of casting (CA) and compression (CO). The POS composites were reinforced with 2-12 wt% of natural derived silica from rice husk (RHA SiO2) as a filler which incinerated at 700°C. The composites behaviour were analysed through tensile testing (ASTM D412). Through comparison study on both CA and CO composites’s tensile behaviour it shows that both composites strength keep increasing with 2wt% - 10wt% RHA SiO2 addition but strength decreased at 12wt% due to agglomeration of RHA SiO2. Moreover, it was found that the tensile strength of CO composites had offer 23.56% higher compared to CA composites. The difference were influenced by the distribution of RHA SiO2 as filler. The surface morphology of CO composites had showed that the most of RHA SiO2 were embedded and less agglomeration, compared to CA composites that had lots of agglomeration which lead to higher tendency of crack propagation. The arrangement of filler due to the CO method that helps RHA SiO2 to distributed homogenously and embedded in a matrix of POS to avoid agglomeration and lead better adhesion respectively. Thus, CO method had potential to offer in enhancing tensile behaviour compared to CA method by influencing filler distribution arrangement for vibration absorber application.

The incorporation of filler and plasticizer provides effective nucleation and mechanical reinforcement in polymer composites to impart flexibility, toughness, thermal stability and tensile strength of PLA composites that can be used in the development of packaging applications. In this paper, the inclusion of plasticizer and reinforcement of nanofiller in PLA matrix prepared using solvent casting method aims to improve the thermomechanical properties that consequently alter the crystallization and melting behavior of PLA composites. Plasticized PLA with different percentages of TiO2 at 2.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 7.0 % w/w were dispersed in PLA solution using mechanical mixer and ultrasonication technique to introduce a matrix reinforcing nanophase within the composite. The thermomechanical properties and thermal behavior of PLA nanocomposites were characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). DSC cooling curves at low scanning rate of 2.0 K·min-1 proved that the presence of TBC in PLA matrix increased the crystallinity of plasticized PLA nanocomposites that initiated the formation of perfect spherulites. TBC increased the crystallization activity during cooling, which in turn reduced the recrystallization effect on heating, in parallel with DMA results that revealed small peak of cold-crystallization activity on PLA nanocomposites with the addition of plasticizer observed at temperature range of 80 °C to 100 °C. Nanofiller induced nucleation for crystallization of PLA matrix and plasticizer accelerated the overall crystallization process. Considerable adjustments of plasticizer and nanofiller in PLA matrix in having a good balance of stiffness and flexibility are a practical strategy that has a potential in biopolymer medical engineering and in the development of packaging applications.
Effect of pH Value on the Synthesis of NiO Nanoparticles and Microstructure of NiO Based Composite Anode
Authors: Zakaria Noor Hidayah Aniza , Osman Nafisah
Published: May 2021

NiO nanoparticle was synthesized by a sol-gel method with three different pH values namely pH=1, 7 and 11, and then calcined at temperature of 450 ᵒC. The influence of different pH values on the physical properties of NiO nanoparticles were investigated by a particle size analyzer (PSA), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Structural analysis confirmed that a cubic structure of NiO nanoparticle was obtained without any secondary phase for NiO powders prepared with pH=1, while the peak of secondary phase (Ni) appeared for NiO powders prepared with pH= 7 and 11. Morphological observation showed that the NiO nanoparticles prepared with pH=7 and 11 tend to form more agglomerates compared to one prepared with pH=1. The average diameter of NiO nanoparticles with pH 1, 7 and 11 were approximately in the range of 19-26 nm, 21-28 nm, and 24-30 nm, respectively. NiO powder that was synthesized with pH=1 was further used to prepare composite anode of NiO Nps-BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O2.95 (BCZY) powder. Unfortunately a composite of NiO Nps-BaCeO3-BaZrO3 was obtained instead of BCZY and governed by agglomerates with size in the range of 70-300 nm.

Published: May 2021

This study aims to synthesize microwave absorbent material from barium M-Hexaferrite doped Co-Mn-Ni ions (BaFe12-2xCoxMnxNixO19) using co-precipitation method with varying concentrations (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) and calcinations temperatures in the range of 200 to 800°C. The samples characterization was conducted to investigate the effect of doping concentration variations on the electrical, magnetic and microwave absorption properties using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM-EDX), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Network Vector Analyzer (VNA). The results from XRD characterization showed that the sample formed the barium iron oxide (BaFe12O19) phase with a = b = 5.03Å and c = 13.43Å. The results of SEM-EDX and TEM samples of BaFe9.6Co0.8Mn0.8Ni0.8O19 showed that the sample size ranged from 79-165 nm in the hexagonal crystal structure form. The magnetic properties with VSM indicate that the sample coercivity value decreases significantly from 0.41 T at x = 0.0 to 0.09 T at x = 0.8, indicating that the sample is soft magnetic. The value of electrical conductivity is in the range of 2.42 x 10-4 to 9.30 x 10-4 S/cm shows that the sample is a semiconductor. Analysis of the absorption properties of microwaves with VNA produced maximum permittivity and permeability values ​​of 28.40 and 54.40 at 10.30 GHz, and a maximum Reflection Loss (RL) value of -20.20 dB at a frequency of 15 GHz with an absorption coefficient of 99.05 % at concentration x = 0.6. The high permittivity, permeability, RL, and absorption coefficients indicate that the BaFe12-2xCoxMnxNixO19 sample has the potential to be a microwave absorbent material on X-band to Ku-band frequency.

Published: May 2021

Electronic packaging is the technology concerning to the establishment of electrical interconnections and it is a major discipline within the field of electronics engineering. Packaging of an electronics system should considered the protection from mechanical damage, cooling, radio frequency noise emission and protection from electrostatic charge. Solder alloys have been extensively used as interconnection materials for microelectronic package. Solder joint in radiation environment requires higher reliability and resistance to any damage caused by ionizing radiation. The electrical failure during radiation has proved that the reliability of solder joint is importance and sensitive to the service condition. In this study, a lead-free solder alloy, SAC305 (96.5Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu wt.%) were prepared into two batches, which are unirradiated and irradiated batches with the various doses 5, 50, 500 Gy of gamma radiation. Nanoindentation was used in order to investigate the effect of the radiation to micromechanical properties such as hardness, H and reduced modulus, E of the solder. The results showed that the SAC solder changed when exposed to gamma rays. The hardness of the specimens calculated from the nanoindentation were decreased to 195.4 from 279.6 MPa with the increasing of radiation dose. These values of hardness are also lower than the hardness of non-irradiated sample indicating possible radiation damage and needs further related atomic dislocation study. The reduced modulus for irradiated specimens significantly increased as well, with values from 25.6 to 123.9 GPa after exposure. The increment of the reduced modulus occurred as a result of strain hardening or softening of the solder.

Published: May 2021

Abstract Microstructure profiling measurements collected at the continental shelf of the Yellow Sea (35°38'N, 121°20'E) from December 4 to 5, 2019, were analyzed by focusing on the characteristics of turbulent mixing in the Yellow Sea and its associated influencing
factors. The vertical thermohaline structure of the water column was nonstratified during the observation period, resulting in the vertically and temporally consistent distribution of turbulence dissipation and diapycnal diffusivity. The average (in time and space) dissipation rate and diapycnal
diffusivity were 2.95 × 10−8 W kg−1 and 1.86 × 10−4 m2 s−1, respectively. In the vertical distribution, intense mixing occurred near the sea surface and within the bottom layers. The temporal variation
in dissipation exhibits a diurnal variation that was strongly affected by surface buoyancy flux and wind energy, and a high amount of dissipation was observed at night, with an average dissipation rate of 2.45 × 10−8 W kg−1, which was almost one order
of magnitude higher than that in the daytime (3.55 × 10−9 W kg−1). The cumulative distribution functions of the dissipation rate and diapycnal diffusivity across the entire water column during the measurement period could be parameterized by a lognormal
distribution model. Further analysis shows that the dissipation rate was positively related to wind speed and rotational barotropic tidal velocity. Compared with the rotating tidal current, wind-driven turbulence was able to penetrate the surface, thereby causing layer mixing throughout the
entire water column (R = 0.71), and is a dominant driver of elevated turbulent mixing during wintertime.

Published: May 2021

Abstract Drilling rigs for deep seabed shallow strata are commonly used to explore ocean cobalt-rich crust resources and other fields. This paper mainly presents the structure and mechanism of a mobile drilling rig for use in acquiring seafloor cores that are up to 1.5 m
in length. The software Simcenter Amesim is used to establish the mobile drilling rig's hydraulic propulsion system model, which is the basis and a core part of the rig. Moreover, closed-loop and PID (proportion-integral-differential) control methods are separately used to control the hydraulic
propulsion system for simulation analysis. Comparison of the simulation results shows that the PID control method is more convincing in verifying the design rationality of the hydraulic propulsion system. In the simulation of the PID-controlled hydraulic propulsion system, the co-simulation
technology of Simcenter Amesim and MATLAB/Simulink not only establishes the hydraulic and control models but also determines the relevant simulation parameters, thereby helping improve system simulation efficiency. In its verification deployment in the South China Sea, the mobile drilling
rig has been operated many times at different depths, and some cores have been successfully obtained. It was also used during the 55th Voyage of China Oceanic Scientific Expedition, which was supported by the China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association. Several sites were explored, and
a large number of cobalt-rich crust cores were obtained. Theory and sea trials are explained to support further research on the survey of abyssal resources.
Equilibrium Conditions of Methane Hydrates in Seawater From Krishna-Godavari Basin, India
Authors: Kiran Burla Sai , Sowjanya Kandadai , Prasad Pinnelli S.R.
Published: May 2021

AbstractImmense gas hydrate reservoirs have been reported in the Krishna-Godavari Basin, India. They mostly constitute methane gas and could serve as an alternative energy source. For efficient exploitation of methane from hydrates, it is crucial to know the region's stability conditions. The present study reports the stability and equilibrium conditions of methane hydrates, synthesized with seawater obtained from the Krishna-Godavari Basin. At Station MD161/02/GH, the water samples are collected at depths ranging from 500 to 1,500 m. The influence of salinity on methane hydrate formation and dissociation in the presence of seawater is established. The hydrate dissociation patterns in seawater and saline water (4 wt% NaCl) are similar and follow the phase equilibrium around 6 wt% NaCl. The identical dissociation behavior of the two systems ascertains seawater to have ~4 wt% salinity. The salinity concentration varies little with depth because the hydrate dissociation temperatures are the same for all the samples collected at the three depths. Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, dissociation enthalpies are calculated. The dissociation enthalpy in saline systems is about 6% higher. The hydrate growth kinetics is marginally faster in the saline system.
Pan trapping in habitats supporting Platanthera (Orchidaceae) shows little difference in insect family-level diversity
Authors: van der Voort Genevieve E. , Saunders Manu E. , Janes Jasmine K.
Published: May 2021

The role of insects as pollinators within plant communities is well established, yet our knowledge of insect biodiversity in many habitats is lacking. Given the growing concern that insect biodiversity is declining, it is increasingly important to document insect assemblages from a wide range of geographic locations and habitats. Pan trapping is a common means of sampling local insect diversity. Many studies have found different insects associated with different-coloured pan traps. Here, eight different-coloured pan traps were used to sample local insect diversity in habitats supporting Platanthera (bog and rein) orchids on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. A total of 16 sites supporting seven orchid species resulted in 435 insects from 53 families being caught over 64.9 hours of pan trapping. Both Shannon and Simpson diversity index values were low despite sampling in markedly different habitats. Yellow traps caught higher numbers of insects, but no statistical difference was found among colours overall. No activity indicating pollination was recorded from a total of 254 insect observations over 21.5 hours. Our results contribute important baseline data on the diversity and behaviour of insect communities in orchid habitats of Vancouver Island and on the use of pan traps to characterise insect communities.

Published: May 2021

Purpose Osteosarcoma (OS) universally exhibits heterogeneity and cisplatin (CDDP) resistance. Although the Wee1/CDC2 and nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) pathways were reported to show abnormal activation in some tumor cells with CDDP resistance, whether there is any concrete connection is currently unclear. We explored it in human OS cells.Materials and Methods Multiple OS cell lines were exposed to a Wee1 inhibitor (AZD1775) and CDDP to assess the half-maximal inhibitory concentration values. Western blot, coimmunoprecipitation, confocal immunofluorescence, cell cycle, and Cell Counting Kit-8assays were performed to explore the connection between the Wee1/CDC2 and NF-κB pathways and their subsequent physiological contribution to CDDP resistance. Finally, CDDP-resistant PDX-OS xenograft models were established to confirm that AZD1775 restores the antitumor effects of CDDP.Results A sensitivity hierarchy of OS cells to CDDP and AZD1775 exists. In the highly CDDP-tolerant cell lines, Wee1 and RelA were physically crosslinked, which resulted in increased abundance of phosphorylated CDC2 (Y15) and RelA (S536) and consequent modulation of cell cycle progression, survival, and proliferation. Wee1 inhibition restored the effects of CDDP on these processes in CDDP-resistant OS cells. In addition, animal experiments with CDDP-resistant PDX-OS cells showed that AZD1775 combined with CDDP not only restored CDDP efficacy but also amplified AZD1775 in inhibiting tumor growth and prolonged the median survival of the mice.Conclusion Simultaneous enrichment of molecules in the Wee1/CDC2 and NF-κB pathways and their consequent coactivation is a new molecular mechanism of CDDP resistance in OS cells. OS with this molecular signature may respond well to Wee1 inhibition as an alternative treatment strategy.

Published: May 2021

We consider Calabi–Yau n-folds X arising from certain hyperplane arrangements. Using Fu–Vial’s theory of distinguished cycles for varieties with motive of abelian type, we show that the subring of the Chow ring of X generated by divisors, Chern classes and intersections of subvarieties of positive codimension injects into cohomology. We also prove Voisin’s conjecture for X, and Voevodsky’s smash-nilpotence conjecture for odd-dimensional X.

Independence and Family Support as the Cost and Reward Influences the Women’s Marriage Decision:A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Hernole Jeeja
Published: May 2021

Marriage is an important event in an individual’s life. The decision of choosing the right partner is partially based on the human survival instinct that psychologically orients with cost vs reward assessment strategy. Hence, to identify the factors that influence a woman when she selects the right alliance for marriage, a survey-based statistical analysis study was performed by n = 107 women who participated. In this study, it is observed that the current family type influences the women’s preference for partners’ family type post marriage. Age also plays an important role when women make considerations for post-marriage family type. Moreover, women evaluate and consider situations such as independence, family support as the cost/reward categories to make choices when it comes to family type post marriage. In addition to this, women highly prefer tier 1 over the tier 2 cities as well as the future husband having a job or business but the least preference is given to an individual with the farming occupation. Therefore a noticeable shift in the trend of cost vs. reward assessment in matrimonial selection is seen. Moreover, the inclination towards nuclear family type is increasing compared to a joint family which may have on the Indian socio-economic scenario.
Ecotourism and Sustainable Community Development: A Case Study of Sillery Gaon, West Bengal
Authors: Das Pranab Kr.
Published: May 2021

Ecotourism has a significant role in community development in the host areas through alternative but sustainable livelihood. This tourism practice meets the needs of the tourists and hosts together, protecting the natural environment. Nowadays, this tourism involves visiting new areas to learn about various landscapes, environment, habitats as well as the cultural activities of an individual community. It also expands the possibilities for future. So, ecotourism can be an effective method for sustainable rural development in the Himalayan tract of West Bengal. In Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts of West Bengal, ecotourism is still a community-based activity which involves local people and their culture. Most of the ecotourism sites in this part of West Bengal are within forest and hilly tract. Here growth of ecotourism has been phenomenal during the last decades with the influx of tourists that boosted the local economy. Sillery Gaon, a small village, in ‘Silk Route Circuit’ of West Bengal, is a new addition to it and a perfect example of this scenario. It is situated in Kashyone, gram panchayat of Kalimpong District. This pictorial village is surrounded with the dense forest of Pankhasari range and blessed with the panoramic view of Tista River and Kanchenjunga. In the last ten years, the villagers have developed ecotourism facilities and activities which transformed their traditional agrarian economy to tourism-based livelihood. This paper is based on a case study that analyses the symbiotic relationship between the ecotourism practice and sustainable community development of Sillary Gaon village. It also deals with the prospects and challenges of ecotourism sector of this village.
Changing Scenario of Family System in India: An Analysis Against the Backdrop of Changing Social Values
Authors: Gopalakrishan Karunanithi
Published: May 2021

The predominant type of living arrangement in pre-independence India was joint family system. It was based on the notion of collectivism and charity. It was a serving place for not only nurturing and preserving social values, but also passing them down through generations. After the advent of industrialization and subsequent emergence of urbanization and modernization, the joint families started disintegrating into nuclear families. The modern nuclear family is perpetually promoting the principle of individualism or independence in contrast to the value of collectivism deep-rooted in joint family. It is, therefore, a value shift in family from collectivism to individualism. It is followed by a loyalty shift in family from lineal ties to conjugal ties. Consequently, nuclear family has become an indispensible social unit in contemporary Indian society. However, its sustainability may perhaps be uncertain in a distant future because of the inclination of present younger generation to complete independence in life. Probably this may result in the emergent of a new type of living arrangement to satisfy the needs of generations of people in a remote future.
Archaeology and Research in the History of Kashmir- Perspectives and Concerns
Authors: Paray Abdul Adil
Published: May 2021

Research in history is digging into the past through multidisciplinary approach, with the requisites of professionalism, critical aptitude, technical erudition, analytical mind and incisive faculty to reconstruct the past and to elaborate, analyze, synthesize, philosophize the ideas and critically examine the data in the light of objectivity. Historical research is primarily based on literary and archaeological sources. Literary sources are more or less infected of personal bias and prejudice by the author or interpreter. So, here archaeology comes to rescue for reconstructing comparatively an unbiased history. Archaeology is an auxiliary science or ancillary discipline with its numerous approaches, which assist in historical research. It is a sub-discipline of anthropology which is concerned with the study of human evolution and his environment and the material culture associated with him in pre-historic, proto-historic and historic periods through practical undertakings, methods and theories. Kashmir is an ancient geological land with glorious past where the man lived since the pre-historic times and has always been contacts with her neighbors and witnessed influx and efflux of races and cultures. So the role of archaeology with literature is of vital significance in the research of history of Kashmir. But, the application of archaeology in the research of history of Kashmir in general and in ancient and medieval history in particular seems very negligible. The attitude and interest of research about the ancient history of Kashmir and fresh explorations of archaeological sites among the regional institutions,students and scholars is meager. The national and international surveys and studies about archaeological research have also come to halt. The deteriorating condition of archaeological sites in the valley gives us the glimpse of our vanishing history. Archaeology is not confined to historical archaeology, it includes ethno-archaeology, Environmental Archaeology, Rural and Urban Archaeology, Marine Archaeology, and the list goes on. In this paper I will try to investigate the different perspectives and concerns of archaeological research in the history of Kashmir, its application on vast and wide areas of research, keeping in view the post-processual and postmodern viewpoint. Besides methodological problems, descriptions and fundamental goals, this paper seeks to evaluate the reasons why and based on these evaluations some suggestions for future research in Kashmir history are proposed. As the history of Kashmir is the significant and an inseparable part of Kashmir Studies

Ekonomik gelişme ile eş tutulan güç unsurunun devletler açısından öneminin anlaşılması ile birlikte ekonomik kalkınmaya yönelik faaliyetler gündeme gelmiştir. Sanayi Devrimi sonucunda artan üretim ile daha müreffeh bir yaşama ulaşılsa da bu gelişme yeterli görülmemiş ve zamanla daha büyük kazanımlar elde edebilmeye yönelik atılımlar yapılmıştır. Ekonomik gelişmelerin teknolojik gelişmelerle iç içe geçmesi sonucunda küresel anlamda bir pazar ortaya çıkmış ve ticari faaliyetlerde sınır kavramı giderek ortadan kalkmaya başlamıştır. Ancak gelişmeler her zaman istenen sonuçları doğurmamıştır. Nitekim dünya genelinde ekonomik anlamda sorunların ortaya çıktığı “kriz” dönemlerinin de yaşandığı bilinmektedir. II. Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra ekonomik anlamda yaşanan olumsuz durumlar ülkelerin bu durumlardan kurtuluş çareleri aramasını beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu çare arayışları geçmiş dönemler için uygun ve tecrübe edilmiş bir sistem olan kapitalist sistemin yeniden yapılandırılmasını gündeme getirmiştir. Eski sistemin canlandırılmasına yönelik bu çabalar ise sonuçları itibariyle oldukça büyük eleştirilere maruz kalan “yeni dünya nizamatı”, “yeni dünya sistemi” veya “yeni dünya düzeni” adı verilen yapının ortaya çıkması sonucunu doğurmuştur. Amaç: çalışmada “yeni dünya düzeni” olarak ifade edilen yapının ekonomik, sosyal vb. olgularla küresel anlamda yaptığı etkileri ve bu bağlamda dünyada değişen veya gelişen güç dengelerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda literatürde benzer konularla ilgili çalışmalarda yer verilen hususlar incelenerek bir araya getirilmiş ve bir derleme çalışma oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Yeni dünya düzeni olarak adlandırılan sistem ekonomik krizler açısından belirli çözümler veya rahatlamalar sağlamakla birlikte belli başlı problemlerin temel kaynağı olma özelliğine sahiptir. Nitekim yeni dünya düzeni uygulamaları ile özellikle çalışanların sorunlar yaşaması ile gelişen olaylar ekonomik anlamdaki krizin sosyal bir krize dönüşmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Özgünlük: Konuya ilişkin konuların sosyolojik açıdan bir arada ele alınması nedeniyle çalışma literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır.

Bu çalışmada; 2017-2020 yılları arası Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Kliniğine göbek lezyonu şikâyeti ile getirilen buzağıların tanı, uygulanan tedavi şekli ve sonuçları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın materyalini çeşitli şikayetlere bağlı olarak getirilen toplam 350 adet buzağıdan göbek bölgesi lezyonu tespit edilen farklı ırk, yaş ve cinsiyette 100 adet (%28.57) buzağı oluşturdu. Göbek lezyonlu buzağıların 64’nü (%64) erkek, 36’sını (%36) dişiler oluşturdu. Göbek bölgesi lezyonu tespit edilen buzağılar ırklara göre değerlendirildiğinde Simmental ırkı 55 (%55), Montofon ırkı 38 (%38), Holstein ırkı 2 (%2), Şarole ırkı 2 adet (%2), Yerli ırk 2 (%2) ve Angus ırkı 1 adet (%1) olarak tespit edildi. Göbek lezyonlu buzağıların olgulara göre dağılımlarını sırasıyla 35 adet (%35) omfaloflebitis, 25 adet (%25) hernia umbilikalis, 17 adet (%17) omfalitis, 9 adet (%9) omfaloflebitis+omfaloarteritis, 6 adet (%6) omfaloarteritis, 4 adet (%4) göbek apsesi, 2 adet (%2) urakus fistülü ve 2 adet (%2) evantratio umbilikalisin oluşturduğu belirlendi. Omfalitis (omfaloflebitis, omfaloarteritis) olgularında göbek kordonu kalınlaşmaları 64 olguda 0.5-3 cm, 3 olguda ise 4 cm olarak ölçüldü. Fıtık defekt genişliği ortalama 2.8 cm çapında olan 19 olguya açık herniyorafi, 8.25 cm çapında olan 6 olguya ise herniyoplasti yapıldı. Sonuç olarak; yeni doğan buzağılarda önemli ekonomik kayıplara neden olan göbek lezyonlarının erken tanı ve erken cerrahi sağaltım yöntemleri ile ekonomik kayıpların önüne geçilebileceği kanısına varılmıştır.
Research on the Influence of Train Speed Change on the EMI of Pantograph-Catenary Arc to Main Navigation Stations
Authors: Tang Yutao , Zhu Feng , Chen Yingying
Published: May 2021

The electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the pantograph-catenary arc (PCA) to the main
navigation stations will be affected when the speed of the high-speed train is changed. In order to study the influence of the speed change, we measured and analyzed the electric field intensity of the PCA generated at common and neutral section of power supply line at different train speeds. The frequency range in this study is the frequency of the main
navigation stations (108 ~ 336 MHz). Both theoretical and experimental results show that PCA radiation increases with the increase of train speed. Besides, we calculated the maximum train speed without interfering the navigation signal. This work is useful for estimating EMI of the PCA at different train speeds and mitigating the interference to the navigation station near the highspeed railway by proposing corresponding speed limits.

As the condition has significant effect on quality of life, personal health, and working hours and there are several limitations and adverse effects in modern medicine, its Ayurvedic management is of great importance. Randomized clinical study was conducted in Govt. Ayurveda College Hospital for Women and Children, Poojappura to evaluate the effectiveness of Rasna swadamstraadi ksheerapaaka in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea and to compare its result with that of Sukumaram kashayam. Total 30 patients between the age group 15-35 yrs were taken in to the study who had complaints of severe or moderate lower abdominal pain and associated complaints such as low back ache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and allocated them into two groups. Study group were treated with Rasna swadamstraadi ksheerapaaka and control group with Sukumaram kashayam. Administration of drug started10 days before menstruation and continued till 4th day of menstruation for 3 consecutive cycles for study group and control group. Follow up without medicine was done for next 3 consecutive cycles for both the groups. Results were analyzed and compared statistically. The research drug Rasna swadamstraadi ksheerapaaka had shown effectiveness in controlling pain in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea and associated symptoms like low back ache and nausea, but in the case of vomiting, and diarrhoea it showed less sustained action in follow up period. The control drug Sukumaram kashayam had also shown effectiveness in controlling pain in spasmodic dysmenorrhoea and associated complaints nausea and low back ache. But in the case of vomiting, and diarrhoea this medicine also showed less sustained action in follow up period. On conclusion the study revealed that the research drug Rasna swadamstraadi ksheerapaaka and control drug Sukumaram kashayam are equally effective in treating spasmodic dysmenorrhoea, without any side effects.

Usually, it affects due to pollution further follower by bacterial infection in naso-pharyngeal track. Most often it is managed instantly with anti-allergic medications like nasal drop & tablet, syrup, etc. but due to suppression of condition for a longer period it remains dormant causing multiple complications in future. Looking to the condition a nasal drop prepared from few herbs processed with mustard oil was taken into multiple clinico – experimental trail both invivo & invitro study to access the efficacy. The nasal drop in the form of Nasya i.e., modified Marichyadi taila (MMT) in management of Pratishyaya (rhinitis) has been evaluated from different angle i.e., clinical, radiological, biochemical, biological and anti-bio gram study etc. show significant result in comparison with modern control drug Otrivin. After comparing both the results it has found that MMT was more effective than Otrivin as because of its multi-stained bactericidal & virucidal effect along with maximum relief in clinical sign & symptoms. It was also observed that the drug is effective from 48-72hrs & to be continued for one to two weeks for optimum relief.
