BACTERIOPHAGES: COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY IN ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANT BACTERIAL STRAINS
Authors: Bhati Taruna , Kumar Sudesh , Khandelwal Shivali , Dhruw Reshma
Published: June 2024

Bacteriophages, or phages, constitute a class of viruses that selectively infect and replicate within bacterial hosts. Although phage therapy has been employed for nearly a century, the global surge in antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains has revitalized interest in phages as a plausible alternative or adjunctive therapeutic strategy. Traditional phage therapy involves utilizing naturally occurring phages to target and eliminate bacteria at the infection site. Distinguishing themselves from conventional antibacterial agents, phages execute parasitic and enzymatic bactericidal activities, rendering them effective against a broad spectrum of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recent biotechnological progress has introduced innovative approaches, encompassing bio-engineered phages, phage cocktails, and purified phage lytic proteins, thus expanding the arsenal of phage-based therapeutics. The integration of phage therapy, either as an alternative to antibiotics or in synergy with antibiotic regimens, holds promise for mitigating the escalating challenge of infectious diseases amid the prevailing antibiotic crisis. However, a comprehensive understanding of phage biology is imperative, along with the imperative for rigorous clinical trials to assess phage efficacy across various pathogens, infections, and diseases.

Authors: Roy Arindam , Madhumita Mukhopadhyay Dr.
Published: June 2024

The field of electro catalysis, particularly the area of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), has witnessed significant progress with far-reaching impacts in a variety of fields, as highlighted in recent research (Li et al.). Through the ORR mechanism, electro catalysis plays an important part in natural processes such as respiration, where it improves the conversion of oxygen to water in living organisms (Lane et al.). Theoretical importance does not restrict our comprehension of ORR processes in these biological systems. This has far-reaching implications for biomedical technology, such as implanted biosensors and biofuel cells (Li et al.). To optimize their performance, these technologies rely on efficient and selective ORR catalysts. Because of their high catalytic activity, noble metal catalysts such as platinum traditionally, platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) have been used as standards (Gasteiger et al.). Because of their scarcity and expensive cost, researchers have been pushed to investigate alternatives, resulting in substantial development in the design and synthesis of non-precious metal catalysts. As feasible alternatives, transition metal compounds, metal-free carbon materials, and hybrid Nano materials with high ORR activity, selectivity, and stability have developed (Zhu et al. the). These alternatives offer long-term and cost- effective energy transition solutions, indicating a significant shift in the catalytic environment. ORR electro catalysts hold the key to designing a more sustainable future, alongside their relevance in life sciences, biomedical technology, and fuel cells. In the future, the development of these catalysts will be critical in addressing global concerns such as renewable energy generation and environmental sustainability. Non-precious metal catalyst advances, as well as continued research into ORR processes, are opening the path for more efficient and sustainable beneficial energy conversion technologies. The chapter investigates the critical function of ORR electro catalysis in fuel cells, which transform chemical energy into electrical energy successfully. The incorporation of non-precious metal catalysts into fuel cells not only improves their performance but also adds to the progress of clean energy solutions. This is of particular significance as the globe encourages sustainable energy generation and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This includes the opportunity for widespread implementation of fuel cells as a clean energy source, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and reducing the harmful effects of climate change.

Published: June 2024

Over the last decade, there has been remarkable progress in the manufacture and application of all sorts of nanomaterials. This is especially true for nanoparticles, which are now found in practically every area of our life. Construction is a crucial industry that provides building and infrastructure on which all sectors of the economy rely. Though the building industry is conventional, it is evolving by incorporating modern materials and technologies such as nanotechnology. Construction is recognised as one of the top ten nanotechnology applications that will most likely have an impact on people's daily lives. Because construction materials such as cement, concrete, plastic, glass, and steel are utilised in vast quantities, even slight advances at the nano level in materials and processes could result in significant benefits. Concrete is the most frequently used man-made substance, and cement is the principal ingredient; yet, cement manufacture is a highly energy-intensive process that accounts for 6-8 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. Because mechanical strength and performance are governed by the micro- and nano-structure, the use of nanoparticles in cement and concrete may lead to the development of stronger and more lasting concrete structures. With the development of microscopic tools and manipulation at the nanoscale, cement-based materials' chemical reactions, temperature, electricity, magnetism, and other properties can be altered. Rapid industrialization has increased the building industry's growth, putting severe demand on natural resource availability. The environment and sustainability are being negatively tempered by widespread resource exploitation. Therefore, the need is to create new materials with lower energy requirements. The adoption of low-energy production processes and the usage of innovative materials with high energy efficiency are also justified by the current energy situation. The use of nanoparticles in multifunctional materials can significantly address this dilemma. The fascinating field of nanotechnology in cement is explored in depth in this chapter, along with its uses, advantages, and prospective advancements in the future.
GRÜNEISEN PARAMETER AND DEBYE TEMPERATURE UNDER THE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF SIZE AND PRESSURE
Authors: Pachauri Uma , Prashant Mr. , P. Joshi Deepika
Published: June 2024

A theoretical investigation has been conducted to examine the impact of size and pressure on the Debye temperature, utilizing a size-dependent Grüneisen parameter. The Grüneisen parameter, a dimensionless and crucial parameter, serves as a representation of the thermodynamic and thermoelastic characteristics of solids, offering insights into lattice anharmonicity. The Debye temperature signifies the point at which collective vibrations transition to independent thermal vibrations. While there exists an abundance of theoretical and experimental research on the pressure dependence of Debye temperature in bulk materials, measuring it at the nanoscale presents challenges. In recent years, numerous studies have explored the size-dependent variations in the Debye temperature. However, the investigation into the combined effects of size and pressure on the Debye temperature has remained unexplored until now. In this study, the research conducted by Kumari and Dass has been utilized to examine the combined impact of size and pressure on the Debye temperature for nanoparticles. The findings reveal a reduction in the Grüneisen parameter under pressure at the nanoscale. Furthermore, the Debye temperature exhibits enhancement for a specific particle size due to variations in the unit cell parameter under pressure, particularly up to 1 GPa. These outcomes align consistently with data extracted from experimental studies on the melting temperature, which is dependent on both size and pressure. Understanding the pressure dependence of the Debye temperature is essential for observing the recoilless fraction of γ-ray emission or absorption in the Mӧssbauer effect.

Published: June 2024

Agriculture faces numerous challenges such as the reduce in crop yield, a decrease in the organic content of soil as well as nutrient deficiencies. Conventional fertilizers are applied to address these issues, but their nutrient release often does not align with the plant's needs, resulting in low nutrient use efficiency [1, 2]. Nanotechnology offers a promising solution through the development of nanoparticles (NPs) and nanodevices for agricultural applications. Nanofertilizers are materials that releases nutrients in a regulated manner, leading to a higher crop growth and reduced nutrient loss compared to chemical fertilizers [3]. However, the introduction of NPs into soil raises concerns about their impact on microbial communities and soil properties. NPs can interact positively and negatively with plants and rhizospheric communities, affecting soil properties and the environment [4, 5]. The presence of NPs in soil can lead to hazardous environmental effects and may alter soil microflora through toxicities or changes in toxin bioavailability. Microbial communities take up a critical role in agricultural productivity, and understanding the impact of NPs on beneficial bacteria is crucial. NPs can induce ROS production, leading to cell damage and microbial biomass reduction [6]. Comprehensive technology, public awareness, and integrated legislation are essential for regulating NPs and preventing their toxicity [7]. In conclusion, although NPs offer significant agricultural improvements, their potential adverse effects on the microbial communities and the environment should be considered. Implementing sustainable soil management practices and evaluating NP fate through modern approaches can help minimize environmental damage and promote responsible nanofertilizer use in agriculture.

Authors: Dey Debarati
Published: June 2024

Uses of different modern devices e.g. in medical diagnostics, energy production and storage, research laboratories, broadcast antennas, Wi-Fi, mobile network, security monitors etc have exposed the whole biological kingdom to high strength magnetic field (MF). The radical species generated within the living systems are mostly affected by the external MF. Higher concentration of radicals initiate different signalling pathways, leads to oxidative damage to proteins, nucleic acids and lipids and even sometimes to apoptosis. Though this higher radical accumulation is self controlled by different antioxidants present within the cell, so the effect of external MF is sometimes very fuzzy especially when the experiments are done within living systems. Further the strength and type of MF also plays vital role.

Published: June 2024

The use of edible oil is an integral part of daily cooking. Different people have different opinions about selecting edible oils globally; however, regions, family trends, individual choice, taste, flavor, availability, and affordability are the factors in choosing such oils. There is a growing scenario of such edible oils as palm oil, followed by canola and soybean oil in the global market. Indian cooking practices exhibit notable variations compared to other regions worldwide. One key distinction is in the frequent heating of oils during the process of stir-frying, which leads to the degradation of essential antioxidants such as vitamins E, A, B vitamins, folate, etc. To mitigate exposure to harmful substances, it is recommended to refrain from consuming refined oils and low-smoke-point- based oils as they tend to undergo rapid degradation and possess elevated levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The edible oils with MUFA or PUFA are also considered suitable for consumption. Finally, blended oils have notable thermal and oxidative stability, rendering them indispensable in preserving the optimal dietary balance of fatty acids. Overall, every oil has significance, but blended oils would perform better in the kitchen and keep health sound. This study comprehensively reviewed all the common cooking oils, particularly popular and available in India. Every oil has significance, but selecting the right oil for cooking would be wise.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIAN FISCAL FEDERALISM
Authors: P Kaveya , M S Rhwithwik
Published: June 2024

Federalism is a fundamental feature of our constitution. The federal fiscal system consists of two components: revenue sharing, which is overseen by the Finance Commission, and expenditure financing through other measures. Despite the fact that state governments' tax-to-GDP ratios are currently lower than those of the federal government, the ratio has consistently increased over time. As exemplified by a revenue expenditure-to-GDP ratio that has consistently exceeded the tax-to-GDP ratio, all states have relied on intergovernmental transfers, borrowing, or other income sources to support their expenditures. The division of responsibilities and powers between the centre and states is intended to ensure the resources are allocated efficiently, and development is not concentrated in one region. This helps to promote balanced economic growth across the country.

In India, the percentage of people using mopeds are comparatively high and replacement of the fuel tank if damaged demands a very big-budget affair. therefore it calls for a solution. Consequently, the paper proposes to design and fabricate low-cost fuel indicator system which overcomes these vulnerabilities. The system addresses the problem of non-linear behaviour of fuel level indicator typically employing a float and a potentiometer. The system uses an LED as a source of light and a number of LDR’s as receivers. As the light passes through the optical opening in the tank it gets diffused, absorbed and reflected through the fuel. The amount of light received on the other side is a function of fuel present in the reservoir. Since there is multiple receiving points (LDRs) whose readings are averaged, the readings have negligible effect from the turbulence within the reservoir due to the shaking of vehicle itself. In the fabrication of the a signal condition circuit is used in order to convert resistance in voltage and is assembled with an Arduino that quantifies and presents the volume on an LCD.

The latest novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has devastated the entire world. It spreads from person to person contact with an infected person and through respiratory droplets from an infected person. In many countries the spread of the deadly virus is getting intensified from outsiders or own citizens, having recent history of travelling abroad. Since most of the travelers (or own citizens coming from outside) via air routes. Many countries are taking preventive measures in airports and even cancelled flights from different parts of the World. In this article we have proposed a new mechanism at airports to monitor the spread of COVID-19 disease. The proposed mechanism will adopt blockchain technology to access a database which combines United States Aviation Security Model (USASM) and Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE). The blockchain technology, conceptualized a little more than a decade ago (2008) has gained popularity among researchers and practitioners. Initially it was developed for crypto currencies, but for the last couple of years it has been extensively used in different areas like- healthcare, supply chain management, public sector, governance.

Environmental degradation is becoming a fundamental issue as it is directly associated with human lives and environmental sustainability. This research particularly highlights the significance of green transportation taxes in achieving environmental sustainability due to limited available literature considering the environmental sustainability and green transportation taxes nexus. By employing the newly developed QARDL approach, this study is unfolding the linkages of green transportation taxes on transport-based CO2 emissions for Chinese economy spanning 1992 to 2020. The results infer that green transportation taxes to enhance environmental sustainability in the long-run for the highest quantiles, i.e., 0.70 to 0.95. Though, green transportation taxes enhance environmental sustainability in all quantiles in the short-run. Based on these results, the study suggests that the Chinese government and policymakers should increase green transportation taxes that help in combating CO2 emissions, which ultimately enhances environmental sustainability.
