Authors: SABIR PAYAM SADQ , ABBAS KAMARAN A
Published: January 2023

Minerals are used widely as feed additives in the diets of poultry to enhance bone and egg quality and productivity. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the impact of strontium ranelate and cerium oxide addition in the diet on egg production and eggshell quality in laying hens. In this experiment, a total of 240 laying hens at the age of 44 weeks old, were divided into six treatments, with four replicates per treatment (10 hens per replicate). The hens were fed a standard diet for five weeks as an introductory period of preparation. The design of the dietary treatments was formulated as: control (T1) basal diet, Strontium ranelate (SrR) 400 and 800 mg/kg in basal diet (T2 and T3), Cerium oxide (CeO) 250 and 500 mg/kg in basal diet (T4 and T5) and their combination 400 mg/kg of Strontium ranelate + 250 mg/kg of Cerium oxide (T6) in the basal diet. Laying hen’s performance and, egg quality (eggshell strength, eggshell thickness, eggshell percentage, minerals in eggshell, yolk index and Haugh unit), were analyzed. The results showed that the addition of SrR and CeO did not affect performance, yolk index, Haugh unit, ratio of Ca, P, and Ce in the eggshell. However, supplementing 800 mg/kg SrR significantly increased eggshell strength, thickness, percentage, Sr in the eggshell compared to the control, while supplementing 250 or 500 mg/kg CeO significantly increased eggshell strength and thickness. The combination of SrR and CeO significantly increased eggshell strength compared to the control group. In conclusion, supplementing SrR (800 mg/kg) and CeO significantly improved the quality of the eggshell.

The present study has indicated non significant difference among integrated and organic nutrient treatments under coconut-based cropping system (CBCS) and there is a trend towards a positive impact of organic treatment on maintaining the productivity in the system. The experimental results proved the fact that treatment with a 50% RDF + 50% N through organic recycling-vermicompost (12.5 kg/ tree) + vermiwash (5.0 litre/tree) + Azospirillum (100 g/ tree) and in situ green manuring (cowpea) (15 kg/tree) gives maximum benefit (T2). The findings of the field trials over a period of 6 years offered useful information for an agronomic assessment of various INM modules in coconut based cropping system for central zone of Karnataka. In summary, integrating organic compost into INM module can not only help to replace chemical fertilizers in whole or in part, on the other hand also encourage farmers to recycle various farming wastes into a more viable, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and substitute product through composting.

Published: January 2023

A field experiment was conducted at vegetable research farm of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) during 2019–21 to evaluate the performance of 8 improved genotypes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) and compare them with the popular check genotype in terms of yield attributes and yield, quality and biochemical traits. Among the okra genotype, DOV-44≥Punjab Padmani≥Kashi Kranti produced significantly (P<0.05) higher pod weight as compared to the remaining cultivars and recorded an improvement of 10.7–16.4% for pod weight over the local check (Parbhani Kranti). DOV-44 ≥Punjab Padmani ≥Kashi Kranti produced 110.7–120.1% higher okra pod yield over the check (Parbhani Kranti) averaged over the years. Significant positive correlation of yield attributes like days to 50% flowering (r= 0.5294*, P<0.05) leaf length (r= 0.8217**, P<0.001), pod length (r= 0.6863*, P<0.05), pod diameter (r= 0.7866*, P<0.05) and pod weight (r= 0.8417**, P<0.001) with okra pod yield also affirmed it better performance as compared to local check. Among the cultivars, chlorophyll A among the cultivars also varied significantly (P<0.05) from 7.26 in DOV-88 to 5.13 in Pusa Bhindi-5. Calcium content was observed highest in Kashi Kranti (93.67) ≥ DOV-88 (92.00) and it was 21.5–23.8% higher than local check (Parbhani Kranti). The genetic make-up responsible for higher growth, better physiological and biochemical attributes may help in improving adaptive capacity for achieving optimal productivity. Thus, exploring improved genotypes suitable to J&K ecosystem promises improvement of okra productivity along with maintaining better biochemical traits in the J&K of India and other similar agro-ecological regions.

Background: Fruit yield in vanilla cultivation depends on climatic and genetic factors and management practices; however, studies on the influence of the environment on management systems for vanilla production are still limited. Objective: To evaluate the yield of vanilla fruit in three different management systems in correlation with their climate parameters. Methodology: 16 fruit yield components were evaluated in at least 10 repetitions; in addition, temperature, relative humidity, photosynthetically active radiation, and accumulated precipitation were recorded during the production cycle. The analysis of variance, Tukey´s test (α=0.05), and canonical correlation between yield components and climate parameters were performed under a randomized complete block design. Results: Vanilla fruit yield was influenced by the management system. The intensive system in shade mesh with an inert tutor (Barriles) had the highest yield of three evaluated sites, however, its fruits had lower weight and size than the system in acahual (20 Soles) and shade mesh with a living tutor (Solteros de Juan Rosas). The acahual system had a middle yield and the largest and heaviest fruits. The cultivation in shade mesh with living tutors in Solteros had low yield, attributable to high relative humidity and low photosynthetically active radiation during the cultivation cycle due to excessive shading of living tutors that as a whole could cause low floral induction and environmental stress promoting the development of diseases and premature fruit drop. Nevertheless, the fruits harvested in Solteros had physical characteristics similar to those of acahual (20 Soles). The effect of climate parameters was mainly reflected in inflorescences and fruit density. Implications: The incorporation of more study sites and cultivation cycles are necessary to extend the research, however, the information provided may be useful for producers to modify some of their management practices. Conclusions: The yield and size of vanilla fruits is influenced by the management system, since the highest yield occurred in the intensive system of shade mesh with inert tutors. The presence of diseases is a factor that could influence low fruit yield. Relative humidity and photosynthetically active radiation are the climate parameters with the greatest influence on fruit yield, particularly on fruits and inflorescences density in vanilla cultivation.

Plant growth promoting bacteria have been mainly used in agriculture to promote seed germination, plant vigor and growth, and improve crop yields. Objective: To analyse the effect of germination in two roselle varieties that were inoculated with extracellular plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria of the genus Pseudomonas and in seven solutions of copper sulphate pentahydrate. Methodology: Roselle seeds were germinated in copper sulphate solutions, the seeds were inoculated with bacterial suspensions of two strains of Pseudomonas M40 and M67, the germination percentages were determined and vigour tests were also carried out. Results: The effect of copper sulphate on germination was significant in the interaction between main factors, but no significance was found in the effect of the strains and their interaction with the varieties. In the vigour tests, significance was detected between factors of stem dry weight, root and stem length, and strains. Implications: The tolerance of the seeds to copper sulphate, to know if it has an effect of promoting germination or, on the contrary, inhibits it. Conclusion: copper sulphate has the effect of promoting the germination of roselle seeds. Jamaica has a potential effect of phytoremediation of metals in combination with the inoculation of rhizobacteria that promote plant growth.

The Structure and Mechanical Properties of Type IV Collagen in Lens Basement Membrane: Deterioration with Age and Glycation Reviewed
Authors: Bradley D. A.
Published: January 2023

Biomedical physics seeks to confront the amazingly intricate sets of interlinked processes that when in synchrony sustain life. In so doing, questions arise regarding the functionality of cells, organised tissues and organs and the myriad interactional processes required, and also as to how the onset of disease limits viability and what possible repair processes can be caused to happen, including in biosynthetic routes. It is clearly a multidisciplinary field providing a multi-pronged array of endeavours, bringing into play concepts and tools within the armoury of physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and all of the applied areas that arise from these. As expected, the pursuit is beset by ignorance and in the absence of a polymath, the ability to progress is clearly a team effort. Not least among the challenges are that oftentimes the medium under investigation no longer enjoys the vitality of life, including when using in vitro techniques acknowledging that in excised tissues repair processes are clearly inoperative. As such, questions inevitably arise as to whether the results of an investigation bear resemblance to that of the living entity. Here, we will focus on just one example of such a pursuit, namely investigations of degraded vision arising from alterations in the basement membrane (BM). We address alterations that may arise from diabetes and ageing, which are changes that bring about life-altering disability. In examining this one area of biophysical investigation, we hope that the reader will gain a degree of appreciation of the need for such studies even if, as here, we simply represent just one particular aspect of what are clearly complex areas. At the outset, we simply mention that the BM forming the eye lens capsule is a highly specialised form of extracellular matrix in which the major structural element is a network of type IV collagen. Changes in the structure and mechanical properties of the BM are believed to be associated with the pathophysiology of ageing and diseases, including diabetes and cancer.

Published: January 2023

The present work depicts the development of an experimental equipment that reveals compressible fluid dynamics, while collecting data from an incompressible flow like water in an open-channel. It consists of an extensive theoretical framework followed by a practical analysis, the aim of which was to trigger the hydraulic jump, both normal and oblique, in order to illustrate its hydro-gasdynamic analogy with a shock wave, occurring in supersonic compressible flows. The assembly, called “water table”, arises from the necessity of economical alternatives to expensive supersonic wind tunnels in the experimental study of compressible flows. Thus, a canal based on a Laval nozzle was constructed where water flow could experiment a hydraulic jump. Through its visual and experimental perception, fellow interested could more easily understand the physics and engineering behind this phenomenon. Multiple design alternatives were evaluated considering environmental, economic, functional and aesthetic factors. A low-cost implementation was critical in the design process. The measurements revealed that the geometry of the nozzle and the wedges designed as obstacles to cause obliquity were the most influential elements in the formation of a hydraulic jump in the set-up. Regarding the experimental variables, the upstream and downstream heights had the highest relevance. Therefore, their manipulation and analysis could lead to further educational investigations. This research is a step forward to support students in the understanding of compressible flow principles by providing an in-house experimental set-up. The equipment is an opportunity of carrying out lab measurements, which certainly guides to a major commitment in the field.

TAKING VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH MIXED REALITY
Authors: EFE Ahmet
Published: January 2023

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have caused significant excitement, but Mixed reality (MR) offers an authentic experience beyond what they have are imagined and it takes this exciting experience to the next level. MR collides virtual data with natural objects, creating realistic physical and emotional interactions so that digital objects are positioned like natural objects in real environments and positioning takes place in real-time by aligning with real things. With the advent of Metaverse, the reality concepts are being redefined and highlighted by both businesses and academia. Apart from business value and high-tech aspects, Metaverse can include mystical, spiritual, and religious perspectives, as it is defined as a virtual and transitive structure in which we can exist by creating a duplicate of our existence in the physical world and its alternative. Through multidisciplinary analyzes and evaluations in this study, the possibility to provide not only the transition from the physical to the virtual, but also the transition from the virtual to the physical through transferring the data to the physical location, objects, or sensors is questioned.

An experimental investigation of the optimum replacement ratio of coarse gravel with expanded polystyrene beads in concrete
Authors: Salih Anmar , Dhafir Hussain , Abu Altemen , Jameel Nibras
Published: January 2023

Previous researches have shown that partial replacement of aggregates with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) in concrete mixes reduces both the density and compressive strength of concrete, but enhances its durability. As there is no effort was made to determine the optimum EPS/gravel replacement ratio in a concrete mixture, this study triedl to determine this ratio. An experimental investigation is performed by using six different concrete mixes produced by partially replacing gravel with an equivalent volume of EPS beads. The adopted volumetric replacement ratios of coarse aggregate by EPS were (11%, 22%, 33%, 44%, and 55%). The results indicated that A drop in the density of both the fresh and hardened concrete was found to be in the range (of 0% to 35%) compared to the corresponding density value of the base mix (without EPS). Concrete compressive strength was also found to drop in the range (0% to 91%) compared with the corresponding value of the base mix. Within the limit of this work, it was found that the 22% replacement volumetric ratio of coarse aggregate with EPS is the optimum ratio based on a ratio of the drop in density to the drop in compressive strength. Generally, it was concluded that the optimum volumetric replacement ratio lies between 15% to 30%, according to the comparison with other prior studies.
Specialist system in flow pattern identification using artificial neural Networks
Authors: Gomez Camperos , Ruiz Diaz , Cely Marlon
Published: January 2023

In this work, an application of artificial intelligence in the oils & gas industry is developed to identify flow patterns in horizontal and vertical pipes of two-phase flow of oil and water, normalizing the word information and converting it to numerical values through the development of an artificial neural network, whose input layer is composed of the surface velocities of each fluid, the velocity of the mixture, the volumetric fraction of the substances, diameter and the inclination of pipelines and the oil viscosity. The Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has two hidden layers composed of 45 neurons. The database with which the model was trained, validated, and tested has 6993 rows of information corresponding to the inputs of the intelligent system and particular-ized for annular flow in horizontal pipes and DO/W in vertical pipelines. Notice that the information was obtained after re-engineering the information presented by 12 and 18 authors for horizontal and vertical piping, respectively. Finally, the mean square error obtained by the model was around 1.38%, with a maximum coefficient of determination of 0.79.

Authors: Singh Deepak Kumar , Sharma Prevesh Kumar , Singh Arun Kumar , Chand Vipin Kumar
Published: January 2023

Bilateral distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms also called “kissing aneurysms” or “mirror aneurysm” are extremely rare, accounting for only 0.2% of all intracranial aneurysms. There have only been a few examples of mirror DACA aneurysms reported in the literature. Here, we report a rare case of mirror DACA aneurysm in a middle aged female with its successful clipping. Patient was admitted with severe headache and altered sensorium. Computed tomography (CT) head was suggestive of anterior inter-hemispheric hematoma. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was done which was suggestive of two distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms located at same anatomical position. It was treated through microsurgical clipping. Mirror image DACA aneurysms are rare occurrence. All patients with ruptured DACA aneurysms should have angiography with 3D reconstruction studies.

Cochlear sound encoding depends on α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors (AMPARs), but reliance on specific pore-forming subunits is unknown. With 5-week-old male C57BL/6J Gria3-knockout mice (i.e., subunit GluA3KO) we determined cochlear function, synapse ultrastructure, and AMPAR molecular anatomy at ribbon synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons. GluA3KO and wild-type (GluA3WT) mice reared in ambient sound pressure level (SPL) of 55–75 dB had similar auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds, wave-1 amplitudes, and latencies. Postsynaptic densities (PSDs), presynaptic ribbons, and synaptic vesicle sizes were all larger on the modiolar side of the IHCs from GluA3WT, but not GluA3KO, demonstrating GluA3 is required for modiolar–pillar synapse differentiation. Presynaptic ribbons juxtaposed with postsynaptic GluA2/4 subunits were similar in quantity, however, lone ribbons were more frequent in GluA3KO and GluA2-lacking synapses were observed only in GluA3KO. GluA2 and GluA4 immunofluorescence volumes were smaller on the pillar side than the modiolar side in GluA3KO, despite increased pillar-side PSD size. Overall, the fluorescent puncta volumes of GluA2 and GluA4 were smaller in GluA3KO than GluA3WT. However, GluA3KO contained less GluA2 and greater GluA4 immunofluorescence intensity relative to GluA3WT (threefold greater mean GluA4:GluA2 ratio). Thus, GluA3 is essential in development, as germline disruption of Gria3 caused anatomical synapse pathology before cochlear output became symptomatic by ABR. We propose the hearing loss in older male GluA3KO mice results from progressive synaptopathy evident in 5-week-old mice as decreased abundance of GluA2 subunits and an increase in GluA2-lacking, GluA4-monomeric Ca2+-permeable AMPARs.

The interplay among different cells in a tissue is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Although disease states have been traditionally attributed to individual cell types, increasing evidence and new therapeutic options have demonstrated the primary role of multicellular functions to understand health and disease, opening new avenues to understand pathogenesis and develop new treatment strategies. We recently described the cellular composition and dynamics of the human oral mucosa; however, the spatial arrangement of cells is needed to better understand a morphologically complex tissue. Here, we link single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and high-resolution multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridisation to characterise human oral mucosa in health and oral chronic inflammatory disease. We deconvolved expression for resolution enhancement of spatial transcriptomic data and defined highly specialised epithelial and stromal compartments describing location-specific immune programs. Furthermore, we spatially mapped a rare pathogenic fibroblast population localised in a highly immunogenic region, responsible for lymphocyte recruitment through CXCL8 and CXCL10 and with a possible role in pathological angiogenesis through ALOX5AP. Collectively, our study provides a comprehensive reference for the study of oral chronic disease pathogenesis.

The serotonin transporter (SERT/SLC6A4) is arguably the most extensively studied solute carrier (SLC). During its eponymous action – that is, the retrieval of serotonin from the extracellular space – SERT undergoes a conformational cycle. Typical inhibitors (antidepressant drugs and cocaine), partial and full substrates (amphetamines and their derivatives), and atypical inhibitors (ibogaine analogues) bind preferentially to different states in this cycle. This results in competitive or non-competitive transport inhibition. Here, we explored the action of N-formyl-1,3-bis (3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-prop-2-yl-amine (ECSI#6) on SERT: inhibition of serotonin uptake by ECSI#6 was enhanced with increasing serotonin concentration. Conversely, the KM for serotonin was lowered by augmenting ECSI#6. ECSI#6 bound with low affinity to the outward-facing state of SERT but with increased affinity to a potassium-bound state. Electrophysiological recordings showed that ECSI#6 preferentially interacted with the inward-facing state. Kinetic modeling recapitulated the experimental data and verified that uncompetitive inhibition arose from preferential binding of ECSI#6 to the K+-bound, inward-facing conformation of SERT. This binding mode predicted a pharmacochaperoning action of ECSI#6, which was confirmed by examining its effect on the folding-deficient mutant SERT-PG601,602AA: preincubation of HEK293 cells with ECSI#6 restored export of SERT-PG601,602AA from the endoplasmic reticulum and substrate transport. Similarly, in transgenic flies, the administration of ECSI#6 promoted the delivery of SERT-PG601,602AA to the presynaptic specialization of serotonergic neurons. To the best of our knowledge, ECSI#6 is the first example of an uncompetitive SLC inhibitor. Pharmacochaperones endowed with the binding mode of ECSI#6 are attractive, because they can rescue misfolded transporters at concentrations, which cause modest transport inhibition.
Mechanism of Ca2+ transport by ferroportin

Ferroportin (Fpn) is a transporter that releases ferrous ion (Fe2+) from cells and is important for homeostasis of iron in circulation. Export of one Fe2+ by Fpn is coupled to import of two H+ to maintain charge balance. Here, we show that human Fpn (HsFpn) binds to and mediates Ca2+ transport. We determine the structure of Ca2+-bound HsFpn and identify a single Ca2+ binding site distinct from the Fe2+ binding sites. Further studies validate the Ca2+ binding site and show that Ca2+ transport is not coupled to transport of another ion. In addition, Ca2+ transport is significantly inhibited in the presence of Fe2+ but not vice versa. Function of Fpn as a Ca2+ uniporter may allow regulation of iron homeostasis by Ca2+.
Study on Olea europaea as an Adsorbent to Remove Heavy Metal from Wastewater
Authors: Namdeti Rakesh
Published: January 2023

Liquid wastewater is essentially the water disposal of the community after the pure water has been used in a variety of applications. In recent years, heavy metal concentrations, besides other pollutants, have increased to reach dangerous levels for living environment in many regions. Among the heavy metals lead has the most damaging effects on human health. It can enter a human body through uptake of food (65%), water (20%) and air (15%).  With this background certain low cost and easily available biosorbent like Olea Europaea was used and reported in this study. The scope of the present study is to remove Lead from its aqueous solution using Olea Europaea Resin as biosorbent. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models were used to describe the biosorption equilibrium of Lead Olea EuropaeaResin biosorbent.The results showed that the biosorption capacity of Olea Europaea Resin biosorbent was more for Lead removal around 34.2 mg/g and the biosorption followed the Langmuir isotherm. The kinetic models showed that the pseudo-second order rate expression was found to represent well with the biosorption data for the biosorbent.

Karnaphuli River is one of the largest recipients of industrial effluent among all the rivers in Bangladesh in the last couple of years. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability of the river water for irrigation, livestock and other uses and to identify the main pollutants affecting the river during its course through the city. Ten Sampling points along with the Karnaphuli river basin was selected for the WQI assessment. The sampling was conducted for a period of one year from May 2021 to April 2022. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME)-(WQI) Water Quality Index was applied for several water quality parameters namely pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Phosphate, Nitrate, Chloride, Total Hardness, Conductivity, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb. Irrigation and livestock indices were analyzed based on Canadian Water Quality Guidelines (CWQGs). The study shows that the river water is mostly alkaline and the pH lies between 6.4 -7.8. The DO value varies from 1.8 to 6 ppm and BOD varies from 1.7 to 3.4 ppm. The concentrations of Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn are Cu- (0.108-0.743 ppm), Cd- (0.073-0.281 ppm), Pb- (0.017-0.699 ppm), Zn- (0.012-0.032 ppm) respectively. Based on the index values, the river water quality has been observed as poor and marginal.
Production of Butane from Methyl Ethyl Ketone over Pt/Al2O3
Authors: Al-Auda Zahraa , Hohn Keith L.
Published: January 2023

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was catalytically converted to butane directly in one step over platinum (Pt) supported on alumina (Al2O3). The reaction was performed in the gas phase in a fixed bed reactor. Conversion of MEK to butane was achieved by hydrogenation of MEK to 2-butanol, dehydration of 2-butanol to butene, and further hydrogenation of butene to butane. The results showed that butane can be produced with selectivity reaching 95% depending on the operating conditions. The highest selectivity for butane was obtained at 220 °C and a H2/MEK molar ratio of 15. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

VIOLÊNCIA, TRABALHO E PERIFERIA: conflitos morais e convívios nas fronteiras entre dois mundos
Authors: de Oliveira Fontes Leonardo
Published: January 2023

A perspectiva analítica que aponta um convívio e uma disputa prático-simbólica entre diferentes regimes normativos em torno do que é moralmente “certo” nas periferias urbanas do Brasil tem crescido. Parte-se do pressuposto teórico de que sujeitos “envolvidos no mundo do crime”, diante de situação em que são alvos de críticas por suas atitudes, sentem necessidade de se justificar. Baseado em uma pesquisa multimetodológica em dois bairros da periferia paulistana, este artigo aborda duas questões centrais: a autoimagem projetada pelos sujeitos que atuam em atividades consideradas criminais do ponto de vista legal como justificativa para sua atuação criminal; e como aqueles que tradicionalmente se entendiam como “trabalhadores” enxergam os “envolvidos no mundo do crime” e suas justificativas. Associando grupos específicos identificados qualitativamente a cada uma dessas visões sobre o “mundo do crime” e seus agentes, o artigo contribui com hipóteses explicativas para elaborar essas diferentes relações de convívio e conflito moral.

Published: January 2023

As grandes cidades brasileiras passaram, nos últimos anos, por importantes transformações em sua estrutura social. Trata-se de um urbano marcado por disputas, lutas e conflitos que revelam a presença de formas precárias de vida, de trabalho e de habitação geradas pela lógica capitalista de produção do espaço. Nesse contexto, a pandemia da Covid-19 construiu padrões de disseminação socioterritorial que evidenciaram a presença nas cidades de grupos sociais de grande vulnerabilidade. Este texto analisa os impactos da Covid-19 sobre a desigualdade de renda e a vulnerabilidade social nas principais regiões metropolitanas brasileiras. Consideram-se como principais indicadores para a análise o Coeficiente de Gini e o percentual dos indivíduos vivendo em domicílios com rendimento per capita mensal de até ¼ de salário-mínimo. A metodologia contempla revisão bibliográfica dos conceitos e categorias analisados e levantamento estatístico de dados sociodemográficos e econômicos.
