Published: January 2025

Pada awalnya, teknologi komunikasi inframerah menghadapi tantangan ketidaksesuaian standar antar perangkat, yang berdampak pada efisiensi transmisi. Namun, pada tahun 1993, Asosiasi Data Inframerah (IrDA) dibentuk sebagai standar industri untuk komunikasi nirkabel inframerah, mengatasi berbagai masalah kompatibilitas. Sistem ini pada dasarnya terdiri dari dua komponen utama, yaitu transmitter dan receiver. Komponen transmitter, dalam hal ini TSAL6200 IR LED, bertugas memancarkan cahaya inframerah pada panjang gelombang 940 nm, yang optimal untuk transmisi stabil. Komponen receiver, PT204-6B phototransistor, kemudian mendeteksi cahaya tersebut dan mengonversinya menjadi sinyal listrik yang dapat dianalisis.Hasil simulasi menunjukkan kinerja TSAL6200 IR LED dengan peningkatan arus hingga 20 mA dalam 4 detik pertama, yang kemudian menurun secara bertahap hingga nol pada detik ke-10. Sementara itu, PT204-6B phototransistor menunjukkan respons optimal dengan keluaran tegangan hingga 3 Volt saat menerima sinyal dari  LED,  yang juga menurun seiring waktu. Interaksi antara TSAL6200 dan PT204-6B ini menegaskan efektivitas sistem dalam proses transmisi dan penerimaan sinyal nirkabel secara efisien. Berdasarkan hasil ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kombinasi kedua komponen ini membentuk sistem komunikasi inframerah yang handal dan memiliki potensi untuk dioptimalkan lebih lanjut di masa depan.

Effective utilization of microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers along with ongoing advanced technologies in the field of molecular biology have made great advantages. In the present study, the genomewide distribution of SSRs in Eri silkworm, Samia ricini Donovan was studied along with the in-silico transferability of SSR primers to the closely related species S. wangi and S. watsoni. We also analyzed and compared the SSRs in two closely related Samia species with the motifs identified in S. ricini genome. The overall abundance of SSR motifs was more in S. watsoni compared to S. ricini and S. wangi. The crossamplification analysis through in-silico PCR method with the 25,252 SSR primer pairs developed for S. ricini, showed that 2,978 and 1,508 primer sets were amplified in the S. wangi and in S. watsoni, respectively. The distribution of SSR motifs in S. ricini genome showed a higher proportion of SSR motifs in intergenic regions than exonic and intronic regions (41%, 30% and 29%, respectively). The gene ontology analysis of the SSR containing genes showed that a greater number of genes were associated with the biological process (889) followed by molecular function (215) and cellular components (213). The SSRs present in the coding region revealed, Alanine (Ala) as the most abundant amino acid in these loci followed by Tyrosine (Tyr) and Methionine (Met) in the coding region of the Samia ricini. To validate our in-silico analysis, we randomly selected 20 SSR primers and amplified them in different morphotypes of Eri silkworm.

Published: January 2025

Psoriasis is a T-cell mediated, chronic, inflammatory, non-communicable, auto-immune, cutaneous disease affecting around 1-2% of the world’s population. Hyperactivity of the immune system leads to quick multiplication of the skin cells, resulting in sharply demarcated erythematous plaques with whitish scales, which may affect the body’s visible areas. It has multiple sub-types: plaque, guttate, pustular, inverse, scalp and erythrodermic, and plaque psoriasis is the most prevalent. Beyond the physical irregularities, it also has an extensive emotional and psychosocial effect on patients, affecting their social functioning and interpersonal relationships. It is multifactorial, with diet, genetics, obesity, smoking, stress, and alcohol consumption having associations with it. It is found to have associations with multiple comorbidities, namely psoriatic arthritis (PsA), cardiovascular diseases, hepatic diseases and psychological disorders. No drug has been found to cure this pathology to date, and these drugs are found to have multiple side effects in the long run as the recurrent nature of the disease demands on-and-off treatment schedules. Moreover, these biologics are very expensive, thereby creating an economic burden on the patient throughout the years. As a result, patients are moving towards dietary management as it is more reliable, inexpensive, and can be adjusted according to the patient’s requirements. Ayurveda mentions the importance of diet in the management of various skin diseases including Ekakustha (~psoriasis). The concept of Viruddha Ahara (~incompatible foods), Mithya Ahara (~improper diet), Pathyas (~foods to be included) and Apathyas (~foods to be avoided) is highly emphasised to prevent and treat various diseases, including skin disorders. A diet rich in Pathyas and exclusive of Apathyas can be very beneficial in the management of psoriasis. Unbalanced diets rich in Amla (~sour foods), Lavana (~salt), Katu Rasa (~pungent, spicy), sugar, etc., are advised to be avoided. Moreover, incompatible foods such as milk with sour fruits, salty foods, fish, etc., are advised to be avoided as it is found to cause and exacerbate psoriasis. Thus, this paper focuses on the importance of nutrition and proper dietary habits in the management of psoriasis and mentions various food items that should be included and avoided in our diet to keep this chronic ailment in check.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease; from epidemiology to clinical and nutrition management: A narrative review
Authors: Partsafa Maria , Panagiotakos Demosthenes
Published: January 2025

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, in more than 5% of hepatocytes. NAFLD includes two main conditions: nonalcoholic fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with the latter being more likely to progress to severe liver diseases (e.g. cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma). The global prevalence of NAFLD is estimated at approximately 30%, with higher rates in men compared to women. However, among lean individuals, NAFLD is more common in women. Several metabolic conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and atherogenic dyslipidemia are linked to this condition and can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a leading cause of mortality in NAFLD patients, with risk escalating with disease severity. This narrative review explores the clinical and nutritional management of NAFLD and CVD, focusing on shared risk factors and available therapeutic interventions. The growing prevalence of obesity and related metabolic conditions are leading to an increase of NAFLD cases, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and targeted interventions. Management strategies prioritize weight loss through diet and exercise, with pharmacotherapy and surgical options considered when necessary. In conclusion, NAFLD poses a significant health risk due to its link with metabolic syndrome and CVD. Effective management requires a comprehensive approach along with collaborative efforts from healthcare professionals and patient advocacy groups.

Aim: Tahini (sesame paste) is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, mainly lignans (sesamine, sesamolin, sesamol). Given the gap in literature, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of tahini meal consumption on hemodynamic parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients postprandially.
Patients and methods: The study involved 12 T2DM patients with well-controlled blood glucose levels (HbA1c<7%) and stable antidiabetic treatment over the previous three months, excluding insulin treatment. Following an overnight fast, participants underwent baseline hemodynamic assessments before consuming either a test meal (two slices of bread with 50g of tahini) or a control meal (two slices of bread with 46g of margarine and 38.2g of cheese). The meals, matched for overall nutritional content but differing in fatty acid composition and fiber levels, were administered in random order. Hemodynamic parameters were reassessed 4 h after meal consumption.
Results: A statistically significant increase in flow-mediated dilatation was observed at the end of the intervention compared to baseline, after consuming both tahini (p=0.022) and control meal (p=0.038). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased 4h postprandially compared to baseline after control meal (p=0.042). No significant differences in SBP were observed either after tahini meal or between the 2 meals at the end of the trial. No changes were observed in other indices measured at the end of the intervention compared with baseline.
Conclusions: The consumption of a meal with tahini may exhibit a cardioprotective effect in T2DM patients, suggesting a good choice for breakfast or snack.

It also analyzes the development of WiFi, Lightbridge and OcuSync graphics transmission systems using DJI brand products as case studies. The analysis shows that digital image wireless transmission, especially COFDM and advanced proprietary systems such as DJI's OcuSync, has significant advantages in terms of transmission distance, interference immunity, encryption techniques, and reusability. However, factors such as building obstruction, frequency interference, and weather conditions can affect the transmission quality. To mitigate these challenges, solutions are proposed, such as auxiliary signal enhancement systems, adaptive frequency hopping and software-defined radio technologies.

Gold Nanoparticle Enhanced Polyurethane Elastomer with High-Efficiency Self-healing and Potent Mechanical Property
Authors: Luo Songqian
Published: January 2025

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are renowned for their superior mechanical properties, including elasticity, durability, and abrasion resistance, which make them indispensable in industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics. However, conventional TPUs often lack self-healing capabilities, limiting their lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. This study addresses this limitation by developing a novel TPU elastomer (PUAN-1) that incorporates gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and disulfide bonds to enhance both mechanical strength and self-healing efficiency. The AuNPs serve as a reinforcing phase, improving the TPU's mechanical performance by strengthening the hard segments and promoting dynamic disulfide bond reformation through photothermal effects. This innovative approach enables the TPU to achieve rapid self-healing under mild conditions while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. Experimental evaluations demonstrated that PUAN-1 exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 4.4 MPa, an elongation at break of 1165%, and a toughness of 39.7 MJ/m, significantly outperforming conventional TPUs. Additionally, PUAN-1 displayed a high self-healing efficiency, with over 88% recovery in mechanical properties within two hours of damage. Conversely, a higher concentration of AuNPs, as in PUAN-2, was found to hinder both self-healing and mechanical performance due to restricted chain mobility and suppressed microphase separation. These findings highlight the critical balance required in optimizing AuNP content to maximize both reinforcement and flexibility. The developed TPU elastomer presents a promising candidate for applications demanding durable, self-repairing materials, such as wearable electronics, flexible sensors, and biomedical devices. This study provides valuable insights into the design of advanced TPUs that combine high mechanical robustness with effective self-healing capabilities, offering significant potential for use in dynamic and demanding environments.

Response Mechanism of Plants to Cadmium Pollution in Soil
Authors: Jiang Baichuan
Published: January 2025

Cadmium (Cd), as a widespread heavy metal pollutant in soil, has become one of the globally recognized contaminants due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulative properties. Soil cadmium pollution not only hinders the normal growth of plants but also poses a threat to human health through the food chain. Microbe-plant combined remediation is an essential approach for the treatment of heavy metal contamination in soil. Plants primarily respond to cadmium stress through intrinsic physiological and biochemical adjustments, including inhibiting cadmium absorption, promoting cadmium compartmentalization in vacuoles, and facilitating cadmium efflux from cells. Moreover, plants enhance their tolerance to cadmium through mechanisms such as the regulation of plant hormones. Gene expression regulation is the molecular mechanism underlying plant cadmium tolerance. To date, multiple resistance genes, transcription factors, and microRNAs involved in cadmium tolerance have been identified. Exogenous additives mitigate the effects of cadmium stress on plants by chemical adsorption, enhancing plant cadmium tolerance, and improving the physical and chemical properties of the soil, as well as the structure of soil microbial communities. Investigating the mechanisms by which plants respond to cadmium stress and exploring remediation measures for cadmium pollution will provide a basis for developing effective pollution control and remediation strategies.

Authors: Gu Zheyi , Wang Guidong
Published: January 2025

Numerous studies have been carried out on various flow control techniques aimed at enhancing the aerodynamic performance of different aerofoil designs. This research examines the aerodynamic properties of the NACA2412 aerofoil across different Reynolds numbers and angles of attack through numerical simulations. A structured mesh along with a 'C'-type computational domain was utilized, and CFD analyses were performed in Fluent to evaluate the lift coefficient (CL) and drag coefficient (CD) for Reynolds numbers between 20,000 and 100,000, as well as angles of attack from 0 to 20. The findings reveal that an increase in Reynolds number results in a higher CL; however, CD also rises significantly at elevated Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, as the angle of attack increases, CL reaches its maximum at 15 before experiencing a sharp decrease, while CD shows a steep increase indicative of stall conditions. This study offers valuable insights for optimizing aerofoil design and enhancing aerodynamic performance.
