Published: August 2022

Alumina (Al2O3) thin films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering technique using Al2O3 ceramic target. Effects of sputtering powers and oxygen gas mixtures were investigated and the optimized coating condition was applied on semi-precious gemstones. RF sputtering powers were varied to optimize the transparency of the films. Besides, the oxygen gas mixtures were also studied at the optimized sputtering power with a constant sputtering pressure. Optical and physical properties of the thin films were investigated using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, FESEM, XRF, GIXRD, XRR including a microscratch tester. The Al2O3 films were highly transparent in the visible region in form of an amorphous phase with granular structure of the surface morphology. Thickness of the films decreased significantly with an introduction of the oxygen gas in the sputtering process but slowly decreased with further addition of the oxygen gas. Density of the film changed linearly with the variation of the oxygen gas mixtures. The semi-precious gemstones gained higher scratch resistance after the Al2O3 thin films coating. To enhance the scratch resistance and maintain the aesthetic appearance of the semi-precious gemstones, the most optimum deposition condition for the Al2O3 thin film coating was determined for the RF magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature.

In this work, WO3 thin films were prepared in two steps: First, tungsten (W) films with thickness of 100-300 nm were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering with oblique angle deposition (OAD) technique at 0 and 85. Second, sputtered W films were annealed under air atmosphere at a temperature of 500℃ and different oxidation times for 1-3 h. The structure of WO3 thin films were examined by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope. In addition, the optical and electrochromic properties of the WO3 thin films were measured by a spectrophotometer before and after testing in potassium hydroxide electrolytes. The results showed that the OAD technique can enhance porosity and exert high oxidation in W films. The increase in film thickness and oxidation time indicated that the crystallinity of WO3 films increased. The condition of WO3 films for OAD at 85, thickness of 300 nm, and oxidation time of 1 h showed the best electrochromic property with the highest optical modulation and current density.

The coating of Ti/TiN was successfully deposited on Ti-51 at% Ni substrates by using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique and the effect of different sputtering power on the thickness, surface hardness and adhesion strength of the coatings were studied. The microstructural characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The coating thicknesses were detected and measured using SEM. The surface hardness test was performed using microhardness tester, and the adhesion strength was carried out by scratch testing. The results showed that the TiN crystallites growth orientation, thickness, surface hardness and adhesion strength are influenced by sputtering power. As power increased from 300 W to 370 W, peaks at (111), (200) and (311) increased while peaks at (200) and (222) decreased, substrate hardness increased by 53.42%, thickness increased from 2.278 μm to 2.389 μm, and adhesion strength also increased from 3000 mN to 3998 mN. Meanwhile, a decrease in thickness, hardness, adhesion strength, all the peaks and total disappearance of peak (222) were all noticed at 440 W.

Authors: Bhatt Keyur , Kongor Anita , Atharb Mohd , Jain Vinod
Published: August 2022

Nanotechnology uses exceptional approaches for the control of bacterial infections which uncovers the potential function of bio-systems at nano-scale level. Compared to silver ions, silver nanoparticles possess enhanced physicochemical stability and low bio-toxicity properties. The intrinsic chemical framework of silver nanoparticles is prone to exhibit a significant chemistry when used as sensor and as therapeutic. Nowadays, silver is used in (nano-) medicine, in the form of nanoparticles to optimize its therapeutic property for controlling infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Exclusive use of antibiotics as medicines and its discharge from the body of the infected person or animals into the sewage system has led to antimicrobial resistance. Rising resistance of antibiotics is another serious threat that may lead to pandemics. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop selective and sensitive sensors for probing antibiotics, especially to prevent human health hazards. The present review emphasizes on the recent advances of silver nanoparticles concerning two inter-related subjects, first, application as a therapeutic agent to control infections and secondly, as sensors to detect antibiotics. Moreover, the chemistry of silver nanoparticles behind its applications as sensor and bactericidal agent is described. Major challenges have been elaborated for the emergence of silver nanoparticles in the field of antibiotic detection and its use for controlling bacterial infections.

Authors: Dateraksa Kannigar , Sinchai Sujarinee
Published: August 2022

Boron carbide is a promising candidate for a variety of applications, including blasting nozzles, neutron moderators, and lightweight armor. Using of inexpensive and readily available starting materials which can react with boric acid to form B-O-C bonds, e.g., glutinous rice flour, is one of alternative means to produce high purity boron carbide powder at low temperature. In this study, boric acid and glutinous rice flour, boron and carbon sources, were used for synthesizing B4C powder by the carbothermic reduction. The mole ratios of boric acid to glutinous rice flour ranging from 1:1 to 2.5:1 were formulated and mixed by continuous stirring at 80℃ for 2 h to 8 h. The influence of reaction time during the mixing process on the phase formation of the synthesized powder was investigated. It was found that appropriate reaction time for condensation of 4 h facilitated the B4C phase formation during synthesis. The precursors were synthesized under Ar flow at 1350℃ to 1450℃ for 5 h without calcination. B4C powder with the purity of 90 wt% was successfully synthesized from this study. Chemical bonding, phase analysis, and morphology of the synthesized powder were identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The influences of starting composition and synthesis temperature on the characteristics of the synthesized powders were also discussed.

Published: August 2022

Expansive soil covers large areas in a variety of regions in Jordan which is insufficient to meet the engineering specifications in construction. Phosphogypsum is considered to be the main by-product material which comes from phosphate rock deposits that is available in Jordan. The main purpose of this research is to study the effects of stabilization by phosphogypsum on expansive soil properties. Three Jordanian regions were chosen to represent the expansive soils, Irbid, Madaba, and Abu-Nusire city. Soils were mixed with phosphogypsum at different percentages by dry weight of soil. Some of the representative laboratory tests for swell properties were conducted: grain size distribution, plasticity limits, standard compaction test, swell pressure and others. Laboratory results showed a positive response in the engineering soil properties which were confirmed by the Jordanian specifications for the sub-grade soils which may be used in road and building constructions. A 20% to 30% of phosphogypsum by weight of dry soil was found suitable to improve the engineering soil properties, such as the decrease in clay content and changed in classification from A-7 and A-6 soils to A-6 and A-4 soils, respectively. Field tests on short sections of roadways treated with phosphogypsum under a low to medium sustained traffic are recommended.

Published: August 2022

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nickel-resistant bacterium, designated as strain NiVas 114', was isolated from waters of Torsa River in Hasimara, West Bengal, India. The strain NiVasl 14 possessing inducible nickel resistance can tolerate maximally 10mM nickel chloride. Southern blot assays of genomic DNA of NiVas 114 using probe(s) generated from known nickel resistance determinants (cnr/ ncc/ nrel nerí nir). under conditions of low stringency, produced no detectable signal except for cnrA gene of Ralstonia metallidurans CH34 (formerly Alcaligenes eutropha CH34) in which weak hybridization signal occurred. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain NiVas 114 was identified as a member of y Proteobacteria, and the nearest phylogenetic relatives are Enterobacter hormaechei (98.6-98.5%) and Enterobacter cloacae (97.5-98.2 %). In the phylogenetic trees constructed with nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene, hsp60 gene and rpoB gene, strain NiVas 114" clustered with the subspecies of Enterobacter hormaechei. The strain showed DNA-DNA relatedness of 60 -63% with Enterobacter hormaechei subsp hormaechei, Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. oharae, Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. steigerwalti Enterobacter cloacae subsp. cloacae and Enterobacter cloacae subsp. dissobvens. The isolate NiVas 114 differed from the nearest phylogenetic relatives in terms of number of phenotypic characteristics. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the isolate was 59.5 +0.4 mol %. The predominant cellular faty acids of the isolate are C160, Summed feature 3 (comprises C16wTel 15 io 201) and C 18 w7ei hydroxy fatty acids are found in minor quantities. Thus, on the basis of biochemical characteristics, fatty acid profiles, DNA-DNA relatedness and phylogenetic analysis, the isolate was recognized as a novel species of Enterobacter. for which the name Enterobacter nickellidurans sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain NiVas 114' (= LMG 23000 = CcUGSO594"= JCM13045").

Authors: Basistha Bharat C , Sen Arnab
Published: August 2022

Hippophae sp. is a versatile plant restricted in distribution to the Himalayas having multipurpose usage including food, fodder, medicine, and controlling soil erosion. Besides, it plays a huge role in increasing the fertility of the soil by harboring symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria called Frankia. In this review we have looked into two main aspects of this symbiosis. First we have made a detailed account of the macrosymbiont i.e. Hippophae. Since Hippophae has food and medicinal properties and are widely used in cosmetic production, we excavated the antioxidant activity of various parts of Hippophae including fruits, seeds, bark and leaf. People of Indo-Tibetan plateau adapt a special agro-technique to cultivate Hippophae. The technique has been discussed here. A detail report of this plant including their distribution and various ecological parameters has also been done. On the other hand we have also elucidate about the microsymbiont present in root nodule of Hippophae i.e. Frankia. Frankia is filamentous actinomycetes which fix atmospheric nitrogen to the soil and therefore increase the soil-fertility. A detailed account of morphology. anatomy, phylogeny and ecology of Frankia has been illustrated here. The diversity of Frankia in soil is another interesting topic and the speciation of this bacterium is an everlasting controversy. We have given a closer look to the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Frankia at intra and inter generic level.

People act differently from one another for their own reason. Determining what and why other people do or feel is not easy. Moreover, understanding our own feeling and behaviour is also not always easy. Some people show normal behaviour and some people show psychological disorder. By studying about their behaviour, people can have a chance to live in normal. For this reason, this research was conducted to analyze Jackson Maine’s psychological disorder in the movie A star is Born. Jackson is portrayed as a singer who is battling an alcohol and drug addiction. This behaviour was analyzed using a theory proposed by Davison, Neale, and Kring about the characteristics of psychological disorder.

The experiment was carried out at the Animal Science Laboratory, University of Maiduguri. 50kg of fresh leaves from three Lablab varieties were used for the experiment. Size reduction was done in the first part to 3cm, wilted and 3kg were ensiled in mini silo then replicated three times, each variety were then subjected to 30, 40 and 50days fermentation and silage quality were analysed using Completely Randomized Design. The second part (25kg) was spilt into two, then cured under sun and under Shade for 3 days. Results showed no significant difference on the main effects of silage. CP for all the varieties ranges between 11.32 to 12.26%. Furthermore, there was significant difference observed on effects of days of silage on chemical composition. Silage at 50days recorded the highest DM and OM with 90.4 and 87.6% respectively. All fibre fraction in the period measured and interaction effects between varieties and days of silage had significant (P<0.05) difference, with 50days silage recording the highest DM, OM, CF, NDF and ADF for all varieties. However, no significant difference was observed on the main effects of varieties on mineral composition. Quality under different periods maintain green colour at 30days of silage for all varieties. The chemical composition of the two curing methods used for the lablab varieties revealed that DM, OM, NDF, ADF were higher in sun dried hay while CP was higher in shade dried. Physical characteristics of lablab hay under the two curing methods were rated good. In conclusion, white and brown varieties of lablab gave better DM and CP at 30 to 40days silage. Appearance was very good at 30 and 40days of silage and both sun and shade dried lablab were excellent when cured for 3days.

Published: August 2022

This study was carried out in Maiduguri in north eastern Nigeria during the cropping seasons of 2018 and 2019 to determine the seasonal infestation rate, larval abundance and parasitism of Syleptaderogata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in roselle, Hibiscus sabdariffaL. Data collection was from 30 farmer fields planted with roselle plants. Data on plant infestation, pest abundance and parasitism were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test. Mean percent plant infestation by S. derogataper farmers’ field ranged from 84% in 2019 to 88% in 2018, and was not significantly different between years. Mean number of S. derogata larvae per farmers’ field was significantly higher in 2018 (83) than in 2019 (69). In both years, parasitization by microgastrinae was high (97%-98%), whilst that by Bracon sp. was low (2%-3%). Mean total larval parasitism per farmers’ field significantly varied between years, and was particularly higher (18%) in 2018 than in 2019 (5%). In conclusion, results indicate that S. derogata is seasonally responsible for heavy infestation of roselle plants in parts of north eastern Nigeria. Microgastrinae accounts for a high proportion of host parasitization, whilst that by Bracon sp. is negligible. Total larval parasitism is seasonally low, and insufficient to control this pest in roselle grown in this locality.

Authors: Mishra Abhishek
Published: August 2022

The present paper attempts to explore and describe the existent workplace bargaining practices in Indian SMEs. Small & Medium Enterprises, which have been acclimatised as engines of growth and development in developing economies (Fashoyin, 2006) are governed by informal nature and erratic employment relations practices. Workplace bargaining, especially collective bargaining is observed to be very weak or non-existent due in SMEs (Edwards, Collinson, &Rocca, 1995). Ascertaining qualitative research method like Focus Group Meeting (FGM) the paper intends to highlight the existent trends and practices concerning workplace bargaining in selected Indian SMEs. The findings highlight how the decline in traditional forms of 'collective strengths' as propagated by Marxism is adding more strength and power to the might of the employers. This trend also indicates the shift towards individualistic approach which violates the very notion of democratic participation at workplace resulting in the dying down of the employee voices. The study very specifically highlights the emerging aspects of employment relations in selected SMEs in India.

The use of insecticides is one of the effective methods of control of insects in stored foodstuffs, but the presence of residues in the foodstuffs and the emergence of strains of insects resistant to these insecticides are becoming more and more worrying. All these reasons militate in favor of the search for alternative methods, in particular, the use of essential oils with insecticide and/or insect repellent properties. For this purpose, the repellent effect of the essential oils of the aerial part of Origanum glandulosum (Desf.) (Lamiaceae), the seeds of Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae) and the combination between the two oils (1/2:1/2) against the insect Tribolium confusum (Duval) were evaluated using the preferential area method on filter paper. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus, then, four different contents of these oils were prepared by dilution in acetone, in the proportions of 2, 4, 8, 12 µl/ml of acetone which corresponds to 0.031, 0.062, 0.125, 0.188 µl/cm2 respectively. The result reveals that the highest dose of O. glandulosum (Desf.) and the combination of the (O. glandulosum (Desf.) and P. nigrum L.) has a strong repellent effect of 93.33% on adults of T. confusum (Duval). Also, the combination of the two essential oils has shown the lowest RD50 (0.0013μl/cm2) followed by the oil of O. glandulosum (0.013μl/cm2). However, the oil of P. nigrum records the highest RD50 (0.025 μl/cm2). From these results, it was concluded that the repulsion percentage of the oils is dose-dependent and the RD50 varies according to the sensitivity of the insect to essential oils.

The soil sustains plant life and supplies nourishment for growth, and its productivity and salt stress are important factors in agricultural yield. In this regard, from 2016-17 to 2020-21, this study was done to determine the soils of Tehsil Athara-Hazari Jhang for their salinity-sodicity condition, at the union council (UC) level. A total of 1654 soil samples were obtained from Tehsil Athara-Hazari's ten union councils. The obtained samples were evaluated for various physic-chemical characteristics following standard methods. According to the findings, 45.7 % (756 samples) of Tehsil Athara-Hazari's soils were non-salty, 50.3 % (831 samples) were saline-sodic to sodic, and only 4.0 % (67 samples) were saline. The most troublesome soils were identified in UC Dosa, whereas the least damaging soils were discovered in UC Munde Syed. In terms of the fertility state of Tehsil Athara-Hazari soils, 64.0 % (1059 samples) had low organic matter (OM) content, 32.5 % (538 samples) had medium OM content, and only 3.5 % (57 samples) had appropriate OM level. The majority of soils (68.7%) were found to be inadequate in available phosphorus (P), with only 31.3 % in the medium range. The extractable potassium (K) 76.1% (1259 samples) was found in medium range, 13.7% (227 samples) in adequate range and only 10.2% (168 samples) were in deficient range. Soil textural analysis indicate that most of Athara-Hazari soils 76.4% (1263 samples) soils were loam, followed by 12.8 % (212 samples) clay type and the least 10.8 % (179 samples) were labeled as sandy loam. When examined at the union council UC level, UC Mari Shah Sagira had the highest OM deficient soils (75.0 %), whereas UC Kot Shakir had OM appropriate soils (9.0 %). Similarly, the highest percentages of UC Rasheed pur soils about 74.5% were deficient in accessible phosphorus P, while the lowest percentage was in UC Dosa. The maximum soils (85.5%) of Kot Murad were in fall in medium ranged extractable K while minimum 44.4 % in UC Munde Syed, large proportion of Munde Syed has adequate K. The majority of the soils in UC Kot Murad were loam, whereas the percentage of loamy sand at UC Munde Syed was the lowest. The most light-textured soils were found in UC Uch Gul Imam, whereas clayey soils were found in UC Munde Syed. Appropriate measures should be adopted on war-foot basis to overcome the low fertility and hazardous effects of salinity/sodicity concerns, as to increase the crop productivity in current food security threats.

The ameliorative prospective of Jambul (Syzygium cumini) fruit pulp extract was studied against Pb-based hepato-histological and micrometric changes in albino laboratory mice (Mus musculus). There were 3 experimental groups: (i) Control group (untreated) (ii) Pb group (15 days 50ppm Pb ions from Lead acetate in drinking water (iii) Pb+Jm group (Pb ions treatment as in Pb group followed by 0.2ml/per day jambul fruit pulp extract through gavage and plain water for the next 5 days). Animals were euthanized on the 21st day to recover liver for histopathological and micrometric studies.

The misalignment of the hepatic cord with narrowed and chocked sinusoidal spaces and some lesions in hepatic tissue were seen as persistent histopathological signs of lead exposure. Micrometric observations indicate that the mean cross-sectional area of the hepatocytes in the Pb group (483.5µ2) increased significantly than the control group (420.1µ2), similarly, the mean cross-sectional area of the hepatocytes nuclei in the Pb group was also significantly higher (76.69µ2) than the control (62.37µ2). These pathological and micrometric signs were convincingly reversed in Pb+Jm, additionally, hepatoblasts progenitor cells were frequently observed, indicating the rehabilitative and regenerative potential of jambul fruit pulp extract. Results indicate that jambul fruit pulp extract possesses precious hepato-protective and regenerative potentials against lead exposure-related hepato-histopathology. The findings of the present study indicate the nutraceutical role of jambul fruit pulp extract for potential human consumption.

Published: August 2022

In the context of non-parametric analysis of time series, the use of Ordinal Patterns combined with descriptors of Information Theory proved being powerful in characterizing processes underlying the data dynamics. Two are prominent among those descriptors: Shannon's entropy and Statistical Complexity; together, they define the Entropy-Complexity Plane (HC). Although powerful, this approach suffers from two major shortcomings: (i) there are no statistical tests, and (ii) there is some loss of valuable information when discarding the signal amplitude. This work brings solutions to those problems with (I) empirical tests in the HC plane, and (II) a modification in the transition graph of ordinal patterns, the Weighted Amplitude Transition Graph, which weights its edges using amplitude information. We show applications to white noise analysis, and to discrimination and classification of textures in remotely-sensed images. We also provide the code and data that promote reproducibility and replicability of these results.

We present a summary of the work done in the dissertation "A formal quantitative study of privacy in the publication of official educational censuses in Brazil", including its contributions and impacts so far. The dissertation presents a systematic refactoring of the conventional treatment of privacy analyses, based on mathematical concepts from the framework of Quantitative Information Flow (QIF). This brings three principal advantages: flexibility, allowing for precise quantification and comparison of privacy risks for attacks both known and novel; computational tractability for very large, longitudinal datasets; and explainable results both to politicians and to the general public. We apply our approach to a very large case study: the educational censuses in Brazil, which comprise over 90 attributes of approximately 50 million individuals released longitudinally every year since 2007.

HB-MP is a prominent member of the HB-family: a family of authentication protocols specially designed for RFID tags. We present two different cryptanalytic methods on HB-MP: (1) a passive attack based solely on the eavesdropping of legitimate authentication procedures; (2) an active attack, where the adversary has control over the RFID tag and is allowed to change the content of chosen memory areas of the device.
