Authors: Silakari Pragati , Yadav Aditi , Arora Aneesha , Arora Anushka , Gulsheen  , Kaur Paranjeet , Kumar Sahu Sanjeev
Published: January 2024

Huntington's disease (HD), a multifaceted neurological disorder, presents a complex clinical scenario. An autosomal dominant neurodegenerative ailment called Huntington's disease is brought on by increase in number of CAG (Cytosine-Adenine-Guanine) repeats, which causes the creation of a mutant Huntingtin protein (mHTT) resulting in neuronal death and mental disabilities in human beings. End signs and symptoms can include significant weight loss, difficulty swallowing or breathing, recurrent aspiration pneumonia, declined health and uncontrolled pain. The excessive production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) in nervous tissues is considered a significant risk factor in most of the neurological diseases including HD. Transcriptional regulation, immunological system, and mitochondrial function are all disrupted by mHTT. Although natural products have shown promise in ameliorating symptoms, it is important to note that no singular "phytoconstituent" has been definitively linked to its therapeutic intervention. Nevertheless, certain naturally occurring compounds have exhibited promising outcomes in preclinical investigations. This article focuses on a few phytoconstituents that are known to have a variety of neuroprotective effects through a wide range of biological activities. By stimulating the Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor) pathway and suppressing NF-κB (Nuclear Factor Kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), astaxanthin, berberine, and sulfarophane increase the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, resulting in neuroprotection. Curcumin leads to metal chelating effect and decline in reactive oxygen species which are certainly one among the vital processes to impede and manage the disorders causing neurodegeneration including HD. This affects the upregulation of HSPs (Heat Shock Proteins) which helps in HD management. Naringin reduces level of oxidative stress and inflammation by free radical scavenging, NF-κB stimulates cell survival and prevents apoptosis by upregulating anti-apoptotic genes expression and downregulating proapoptotic genes.

Authors: Manzoor Shaista , Sharma Manka , Singh Rahul
Published: January 2024

Ramsar wetlands are one of the least investigated areas for microplastic contamination. Harike wetland is located downstream of the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej rivers. Rivers are nature's drainage systems, which collect waste from everywhere and move ahead. On the same note, the Harike wetland, the largest wetland in North India, is an ideal home for migratory birds and aquatic animals. The water in the canal and the fish living within it have been examined for microplastics. Results revealed that the number of microplastics did not significantly differ between sites 1 and 2, but showed a seasonal variation with higher levels observed in the winter season compared to summer and the rainy season. The most common types of plastics detected in the wetland and canal were HDPE and nylon, which were further analyzed using conformational tests, ATR-FTIR, and GC-MS techniques. Additionally, microplastics measuring less than 5mm in size were recovered from the gut of Cyprinus carpio fish, with a 7% recovery rate from the total number of fish analyzed. Although this percentage may seem low, it cannot be ignored given the potential impact on the aquatic environment. This percentage may be less, but it is not ignorable. Indeed, the amount of poorly managed plastic garbage generated by people living around or illegal outskirts garbage dumping near rivers and tributaries is a potential source of aquatic debris.

Published: January 2024

Cisokan River is one of the main inflow rivers of Cirata Reservoir aside from Citarum River. Cisokan River is the second largest contributor to Cirata inflow after Citarum River. In May of 2023 Cisokan River experienced instances of flash flood disasters that submerged houses in Cianjur Regency, one of the affected villages is Ciranjang Village. Several news outlets reported that this flood also left debris and mud in the affected areas, which indicated that the flood was debris flow. This study conducts the risk analysis resulting from debris and non-debris flow with the changes in river cross-section due to sedimentation. In this study, modeling was carried out employing a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) map and utilizing the Hec-RAS software. One focus of the modeling was on simulating the Newtonian (non-debris) and non-Newtonian (debris), comparing the results and analyzing the risk from both. The result showed that the non-Newtonian flow’s flood inundated area is larger than the Newtonian flow’s, which means the high flood risk area of debris flow is 12.5% larger than the non-debris flow’s high flood risk area.

Authors: Fattakhov Irik , Kuleshova Lyubov , Samigullina Liliya
Published: January 2024

The study confirms the hypotheses on the impact of the injection rate and the specific flow rate of the acid composition on the efficiency of treatments. Factors that increase the risk of inefficient measures were identified: fracture pressure excess during the implementation of the technology significantly increases the risk of water flooding of a well after treatment; energy state of the formation – level of formation pressure at targeted development is below 40% of the initial state; presence of active water-saturated feed zones that support formation energy during development, but increase the risk of water breakthrough. The following changes to the technology were proposed to increase the efficiency of carbonate reservoir treatment: when calculating the planned volumes of the acid composition to use specific parameters depending on the length of the treated interval or perforated thickness; acid composition is injected at the maximum possible specific flow rate (at least 1.8 m3/h per meter) without exceeding the fracture pressure; to reduce the minimum permissible level for large-volume acid treatments of formation pressure from 60 to 40% of the initial level.

Published: January 2024

At the current level of development of cell engineering methods in cattle breeding, the accelerated production of monozygotic twins is acquiring important scientific and economic significance. This will make it possible to determine the effectiveness of breeding methods in assessing genetic progress in a population over a number of generations. The method of embryonic cloning by microsurgical separation of embryos is close to solving this problem. Of particular interest is the long-term preservation of demi-embryos to obtain genetic analogues. But the possibilities of preserving demi-embryos at low temperatures are limited, since existing methods are multi-stage and extremely difficult to implement in practice. The search for applied methods of microsurgery in combination with long-term preservation of demi-embryos is an urgent task. Early studies have reported micromanipulation of frozen-thawed embryos. In 1984, in experiments by S. Willadsen & R. Godke, after microsurgery of deconserved embryos, the survival rate was 54.2%. Data on survival rate are not provided. No other data was found, and therefore we conducted studies to determine the influence of the processes of cryo- and deconservation, and dissection of embryos on the survival and ability of demi-embryos to develop totipotently after transplantation. The research was carried out in 2022 at the Regional Research and Production Center for the Reproduction of Farm Animals of Kalmyk State University named after B.B. Gorodovikov. The efficiency of dissection of intact embryos was 86.1% - after separation of 61 embryos, 105 suitable demi-embryos were obtained out of 122 possible, which was 5.7% higher than the same figure for dividing deconserved embryos - 80.4% (37 suitable demi-embryos out of 46 possible after separation 23 embryos). The survival rate of demi-embryos as the ability to nidate in the recipient's uterus in intact and depreserved demi-embryos differed within acceptable limits - 52.2% when transplanting 1 intact demi-embryo (12 pregnant out of 23 recipients) and 65.9% when transplanting 2 demi-embryos (27 pregnant from 41). Similar indicators for transplantation of deconserved demi-embryos were respectively: 42.8 (3 pregnant recipients out of 7 transplanted) and 60.0% (9 pregnant recipients out of 15).

Choice of the most effective hoe design among their set, used in practice, has been justified. Methodology has been developed for selecting the most effective hoe design for complete tillage from those offered by LLC Trading House MTZ-NORTH-WEST. For each model, the required engine power, price and weight of machine are justified, per 1 m of working width, as well as energy intensity of the cultivation process per 1 hectare of cultivated arable land. Fulfillment of the initial requirements for full cultivation has been analyzed in comparison with series-produced, widely used test units, and preference has been given to the proposed ones, due to the complexity of machine-tractor unit (MTU). Proposed decision-making technique for choosing the best design of a universal steerage hoe, is based on the Harrington’s desirability function. Scales have been developed for the desirability of justified private evaluation indicators of the design of compared hoes, which have been taken as: tractor specific power, required for hoe aggregation, price and weight of structure, as well as the work process energy intensity. For each of the five hoes, a composite index of comprehensive design assessment has been found. Preference is given to the hoe with maximum value of composite index of comprehensive design assessment. Calculations have accounted for the value of the composite index, both considering weight of private evaluation indicators and without it. According to calculated data, preference from the family of universal steerage hoes has been given to the METI ULTIMA 15000 wide-grip designs due to its optimal power-to-weight ratio and its unit price, even despite the highest work process energy intensity.
Agrophysical properties of the soil depending on the crops of the grassland crop rotation
Authors: Mamiev Dmitry
Published: January 2024

The agrophysical condition of the soil is important for the successful development of agricultural production. The purpose of the study is to study the influence of grassland crop rotation crops on the agrophysical, biological properties of soil fertility and crop productivity in the forest-steppe zone of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The research was carried out in the field stationary crop rotation of the NCMPARI VSC RAS in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the RNO-A. It was found that at the beginning of the growing season, the lumpy fraction under crop rotation crops varied from 13.34% to 49.45%, in the macrostructure – from 48.42% to 81.77%, on an aggregate 0.25 mm thick – from 1.77% to 7.99%. By the end of the growing season, the proportion of the silt fraction under winter wheat decreased from 8.01% to 1.09%. The structural coefficient ranged from 2.22% (corn) to 2.49% (oats + clover). Surveys have shown that the studied soil has a good structure, since it contains from 46.0% to 66.2% of water-bearing aggregates. On crops of oats + clover (on average 0-30 cm of soil layer), the soil density was 0.95 g/cm3 at the beginning of the growing season, 1.19 g/cm3 during the period of intensive growth, 1.22 g/cm3 at the end of the growing season. This tendency is evident in all crops of crop rotation. It should be noted that rotation grass links are more productive, where food units harvesting (14.49 t/ha) exceeds the indicators of the tilled crop link (13.4 t/ha). In general, the energy value of the grassland link of the crop rotation turned out to be 206.62 MJ more than the tilled one, and amounted to 245.08 MJ/ha.

Superconducting microwave cavities featuring ultrahigh Q-factors, which measure the efficiency of energy storage in relation to energy loss in a system, are revolutionizing quantum computing by providing long coherence times exceeding 1 ms, crucial for the development of scalable multi-qubit quantum systems with low error rates. In this work, we provide an in-depth analysis of recent advances in ultrahigh Q-factor cavities, integration of Josephson junction-based qubits, and bosonic-encoded qubits in 3D cavities. We examine the sources of quantum state dephasing caused by damping and noise mechanisms in cavities and qubits, highlighting the critical challenges that need to be addressed to achieve even higher coherence times. We critically survey the latest progress made in implementing single 3D qubits using superconducting materials, normal metals, and multi-qubit and multi-state quantum systems. Our work sheds light on the promising future of this research area, including novel materials for cavities and qubits, modes with nontrivial topological properties, error correction techniques for bosonic qubits, and new light–matter interaction effects.
Self-consistent phonon calculations and quartic anharmonic lattice thermal conductivity in 2D InS monolayer

Published: January 2024

Low lattice thermal conductivity (κl) is a crucial factor for higher figure-of merit and hence the efficiency of thermoelectric generators. There are several reports on intrinsically low κl values in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials using density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations. In general, phonon dispersions are studied at absolute zero temperature using the finite-displacement approach within harmonic approximations. In addition, the κlis calculated using the third-order cubic interatomic force constants (IFCs) by solving the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons. In these calculations, we use quartic IFCs to solve self-consistent phonon equations to obtain dynamical dispersion relations at a finite temperature of 300 K using finite-temperature Green’s function for Bosonic systems in 2D indium sulfide (InS) monolayer. The cubic and quartic IFCs are calculated using machine learning algorithms, namely, the ordinary least square fitting and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. It was found that there is a lowering of the renormalized anharmonic phonon frequencies in the dispersion relations at 300 K upon the inclusion of quartic IFCs and anharmonic terms in the case of the InS monolayer. Thus, the κlvalue is reduced to 0.6 W/mK as compared to 0.9 W/mK obtained using cubic IFCs.
Enhanced plasma jet generation through numerical integration and dielectric influence analysis
Authors: Ouali M. , Lagmich Y.
Published: January 2024

This paper reports a study on the production of plasma jets that are out of equilibrium through numerical solutions of electron energy distribution function using a self-consistent methodology. The approach includes the integration of the continuity, momentum, and Poisson equations, which allows the use of the mean electron energy to fit the transport and source coefficients. The paper concurrently presents an analysis of cold plasma generation in a tube. This investigation utilizes COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate the electric field, potential, and electron density in space. Moreover, the study examines how the dielectric’s permittivity impacts plasma propagation. The simulated outcomes are compared with experimental and numerical results. As electron density, ionization rate and electric potential vary during plasma propagation on a dielectric surface, and the permittivity of dielectric materials increases, it promotes an increase in electron density around it. This, in turn, accelerates the ionization front, indicating efficient polarization and accumulation of electric charges, specifically electrons, near the dielectric surface.

An innovative approach was adopted to improve the photocatalytic response of nanoparticle-coated cotton fabric for self-cleaning application. Fabrics with layers of TiO2, Ag, and ZnO nanoparticles were assessed for photodegradation of Rhodamine B, methyl orange, and methyl red. A dual-scheme charge transfer method was designed for the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Ag/ZnO nanoparticles on cotton fabric. To produce the multilayer structure of nanoparticles, the fabric was first functionalized with atmospheric pressure nonthermal plasma and then sonochemically coated with TiO2/Ag/ZnO in a layered form. The plasma functionalization enhanced the stability of TiO2/Ag/ZnO nanoparticles on the fabric. It was revealed that a combination of Ag, TiO2, and ZnO nanoparticles produced a Schottky barrier among the silver metal and metal oxides (TiO2 and ZnO), resulting in enhanced photocatalytic properties. Methyl red underwent the highest photocatalytic degradation of 93% over the designed photocatalyst-coated fabric after 120 min of light exposure. This study provides a promising strategy for improving the photocatalytic self-cleaning efficacy of nanocoated fabrics.
