Published: April 2022

The study focuses on investigating the DNA binding ability of cerium oxide nanoparticle (CeO NPs) for various biomedical applications. CeO NPs were synthesized by solution combustion method and hydrothermal method. The CeO NPs were characterized by Scanning electron microscopic technique and powdered Xray diffraction technique (XRD). Binding kinetics of CT-DNA and CeO NPs was studied using UV visible spectroscopy. Hypochromic shift was observed with the gradual addition of CT-DNA to CeO NPs indicating that the synthesized CeO NPs bind to CT-DNA by partial or non-intercalative binding. Based on the binding constant for the interaction between the DNA and CeO NPs, higher binding affinity was observed for CeO NPs synthesized by combustion method compared to hydrothermal method. This shows that the method of synthesis has impact on the interactions between nanoparticles and CT-DNA.

Published: April 2022

Virtual technology advancements have made it easier to recreate reality using virtual or simulation-basedpatients shown on a digital screen.virtual clinical simulation is a computer-based representation of reality in which actual individuals interact with simulated systems. It's a simulation that puts players in the middle lane by putting their decision-making, motor control, and communication abilities to the test. Virtual patients are used in active and realistic clinical contexts spanning from hospital to outpatient clinics in clinical virtual simulation. Advances in digital and virtual technologies have made it simpler to replicate reality using virtual patients projected on a computer display.Early education is commonly dominated by the presenting of knowledge in a theoretical and science-oriented manner, with few links to clinical practise. Orientation toward specialised disciplines leads to information fragmentation, a mismatch of competencies to requirements, and a restricted holistic picture of the patient. As a result,Academics have been looking for techniques to make health professional education more interesting, achieve a higher audience, and be more efficient. Virtual patient simulations are now being taught at medical schools around the country. It's hard to estimate the global adoption rate, but early indications suggest that it's high and that demand is growing. Virtual patient simulations were used in 26 out of 108 responding medical schools in the United States and Canada, according to a study performed by Huang et al in 2005. In 2016, it was stated that the MedU virtual patient gathering was being used at 130 medical schools in those nations.

Published: April 2022

An off-grid photovoltaic (PV) system's PV array is connected with a charge controller as the first power conversion stage. The average efficiency of the power stage of charge controllers is around 90%. Supercapacitor (SC) battery hybrid PV system is a novel PV system that utilizes some of the wasted energy of a typical system and enhances the system's efficiency up to 98%. However, the feasibility of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for this system is yet to be validated. This paper presents a comparative study to adapt MPPT for the proposed system consisting of a series-connected SC bank with PV array and step-down DC-DC converter. The step-down converter is used as the impedance matching network. Different solar irradiance profiles were emulated to check the feasibility and efficiency of MPPT. Experimentally, it was shown that the typical MPPT could be adapted to the proposed PV system with very high MPPT efficiency.

Authors: Kaur Rajpreet , Khullar Poonam , Gupta Anita
Published: April 2022

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays an important role in various biochemical processes. Various binary mixtures of industrially important zein have been blended with rice and wheat proteins to expand their biological applicability. Zein-rice, zein-hard wheat, and zein-soft wheat mixtures show different behavior toward in vitro synthesis of Au NPs. This can also be explained by the TEM, FESEM, and DLS studies of PPI-Au NPs mixtures. Zein-rice-Au NPs mixture showed their mutual favorable interaction with high colloidal stability and high reduction ability towards nucleating Au NPs. This may be due to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interaction of zein-rice PPI, which resulted in regular and shape-controlled Au NPs. In the case of zein-wheat PPI interaction, lesser hydrophobic interaction resulted in the incomplete unfolding of wheat protein and demixing of wheat protein with zein protein to anisotropic and irregular Au NPs. The study of these interactions will lead to the development of therapeutic centers toward different diseases and their environmental applications.

Published: April 2022

Kidney stones impact up to 5% of the population, with a lifetime probability of passing one of these stones of 8-10%. In the industrialized world, a higher frequency of kidney stones is linked to higher living standards and is significantly linked to race or ethnicity as well as geographic location. Men have higher urine calcium oxalate saturation in the summer, while women have it in the early winter. Three stones are twice as common in men as they are in women. Men attain their peak age at 30, while women achieve their peak between the ages of 35 and 55. In five to seven years, a kidney stone has a 50 percent risk of developing again. Conclusion: Although much progress has been made in understanding nephrolithiasis caused by single gene abnormalities, polygenetic origins of kidney stones remain mostly unknown. The chemical composition of precipitating solutes in urine has accounted for a large portion of the data that has led to novel therapeutic and preventative strategies, which can be empirical or definitive. Manipulation of inhibitors and epithelial factors is critical, and additional research is needed. Physicians and scientists must collaborate to better understand the aetiology of nephrolithiasis in order to make progress in treatment.

A series of Ho3+/Yb3+-codoped cubic Y2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by complex based precursor solution method. The phase purity of the samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Crystal structure of Y2O3:Ho3+(1 mol %), Yb3+ (30 mol %) phosphor was refined using Rietveld refinement method. The energy-transfer (ET) phenomenon between Ho3+ ions and Yb3+ ions was verified by steady-state as well as time resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy measurements. An efficient green emission has been observed upon excitation by 449 nm, which decreases monotonously with increasing Yb3+ concentration. Beyond that, the decay curves were also measured to certify the existence of the ET process. The down conversion phenomena appeared when the samples were excited by 449 nm wavelengths corresponding to the transition of Ho3+:5I8→5G6/5F1. On the basis of the analysis of the relationship between the initial transfer rate of Ho3+: 5F3 level and the Yb3+ doping concentration, it indicates that the ET from 5F3 state of Ho3+ ions to 2F5/2 state of Yb3+ ions is mainly through at wo step ET process, not the long-accepted cooperative ET process. In addition, a 97% ET efficiency and 197% quantum cutting can be achieved in Y2O3:1% Ho3+, 20% Yb3+. The current research indicates that Y2O3:Ho3+/Yb3+is a promising material to improve conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cell.

Atherosclerosis, or the formation of fibrofatty lesions in the corridor divider, is liable for a brilliant deal of distress and mortality round the sector, along with most myocardial necrosis and plenty of strokes, in addition to incapacitating fringe deliver direction sickness. Low-thickness lipoprotein, a molecule that enables ldl cholesterol move thru the bloodstream, is idea to be required for the development of atherosclerotic lesions. High blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and diabetes mellitus are all risk factors for atherosclerosis and related thrombotic complications. Growing records additionally emphasizes the importance of the immune system, because irritation and clonal haematopoiesis are new risk factors. Atherogenesis research on the cellular and subatomic ranges has found out plenty approximately the mechanisms that relate every of these hazard factors to atheroma progression and scientific signs of the contamination. A spread of invasive (which include coronary angiography) and noninvasive (including blood biomarkers, strain checking out, CT, and atomic scanning) diagnostic strategies are to be had to assess cardiovascular disorder danger and treatment precedence. CONCLUSION: Atherosclerosis is a long-time period inflammatory condition that influences the inner partitions of huge and medium-sized arteries. Irritation and oxidative pressure are the number one pathogenic tactics, which can be prompted by a selection of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental variables. Through the generation of inflammatory cytokines, LDL-c and its oxidatively modified variants contribute to numerous levels of atherosclerotic plaque development.

Authors: Yurievna Shvets Irina
Published: April 2022

Changes in the economy have influenced many areas of the life of the consumer. It also determines the behavior of consumers consumer-related to product consumption and purchasing. Consumers have reported different modifications in behavior related to their shopping behavior, particularly in the last few years, when the economic situation has undergone remarkable changes worldwide. As a recession time, consumers change their buying behavior and decrease or limit their purchasing due to financial issues. They focus on particular products that they find essential for survival. Due to the adverse economic environment, consumers constantly cut down their expenses until they feel stable regarding their finances. Changes in the economy determine consumers to change their extravagant lifestyle to a restrained one or vice versa by making expenses and buying patterns. This research paper examines changes in consumer behavior that occurred due to economic changes.

Urban Water Resilience in Landscape of Digitally Connected Built Environment: An Assessment Matrix for Cities of Developing Nations
Authors: Sharma Manish , Sharma Bansari , Kumar Nand , Kumar Ashwani
Published: April 2022

One of the major challenges faced by the local level agencies is the identification and applicability of assessment metrics and standards for urban water resilience, especially in India, as most of the considerable research on the resilience assessment refers to the developed western world context. These metrics have limited applicability in Indian context owing to limited data availability and varied significance of various indicators. It is of vital importance to assess the inherent urban water resilience, so as to channelize the limited resources in prioritized sectors, based on the assessment of water services for cities. This paper attempts to develop an urban water resilience assessment matrix, typically highlighting the integration of technology based on the applicability in Indian context. This matrix is based on a mix of household level indicators as well as utility level indicators. This novel matrix, for the cities of developing countries, attempt to capture the heterogeneity prevailing in the urban water sector based on the supply modes for city households.
Review Article on Guillain Barre Syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease caused by a viral or viral infection and can be reduced. The most common HIV virus is Campylobacter June, which is a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Immune-mediated immune responses may play a role in the development of GBS by interacting with brain tissue. Because the infected organism contains homologous epitopes, it initiates molecular and cell immune responses that interact with the ganglioside surface areas of the peripheral nerve (cell imitation). The immune response to epitopes in the upper layer of Schwann cells acts as a target for acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (85%) caused by a reaction to epitopes found in the Schwann-cell surface or myelin. A strong axonal variation of GBS is caused by a reaction to epitopes found in the axonal membrane (15 percent of cases). Although caring for these people may be difficult, complete predictions are good. The basis of treatment is to provide the best supportive care and expectation and avoidance of complications. Patients in need of intubation and respiratory assistance should be admitted to the intensive care unit by 33% of cases. Immunomodilution with IgG infusions or plasma exchange therapy can accelerate the progression of this condition. Conclusion: High-quality intensive care is the necessary aspect of management of cases of GBS. Clinical studies show plasma exchange is one of the most promising treatments. Intravenous immunoglobulin is also effective but has side effects. Corticosteroid with IMG is insufficient and the evidence of this working is less.
