Tacrolimus Induced Diabetes Presenting As Recurrent Pyelonephritis – A Rare Clinical Presentation
Authors: MOHANTY VIVEK , KANT RAVI , SUDAN ADITYA 
Published: August 2020

Tacrolimus is immunosuppressive agent used in a variety of skin disorders including vitiligo. Systemic Tacrolimus has been known to cause diabetes by inducing insulin resistance and increasing the activity and expression of glucose transporter , SGLT1 . In addition to this Tacrolimus has direct beta cell toxicity and subsequent insulin secretory defects. Although systemic absorption of tropical Tacrolimus is minimal but cases have been reported where tropical use of Tacrolimus has been associated with the blood levels above therapeutic range causing potential toxicity . Here we highlight a interesting case of a 22 year old female who was on treatment with Tacrolimus ointment for Segmental Vitiligo presented with features of pyelonephritis with past history of similar recurrent episodes and on further investigations was diagnosed to have New Onset Diabetes Mellitus with elevated serum Tacrolimus levels suggesting Tacrolimus induced beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance thus making it an interesting and rare presentation of potential toxicity.

Published: August 2020

Prodan is a fluorescent probe used to monitor biological systems such as lipid membrane,proteins and DNA. Remarkable interest is associated to the interpretation of its fluorescent spectrum.In this paper the sequential hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (S-QM/MM) method was used to establish that the fluorescent emission occurs from two different excited states, resulting in a broad asymmetric emission spectrum with two transitions. The absorption spectra in several solvents were measured and calculated using different theoretical models and they all agree that the first observed band is composed of three electronic excitation very close energetically to each other.

Published: August 2020

In order to reduce noise nowadays, many researcher find different way to solve this problem. One of the ways to reduce noise is by using a sound insulation. This research has been conducted in order to produce high density sound insulation panel made from ceramic. The fabrication of ceramic panel undergo several processes which are milling, mixing, forming, drying and sintering process. The ceramic panel of different types of forming were developed as square plate 110mm x 110 mm with a constant thickness of 5 mm. Type of forming were used for this particular study are slip casting and uniaxial press. The composition used were 100 % clay and 90% + 10 % clay cement. The transmission loss were determined by using acoustic insulation test. The apparatus consists of sound level meter, portable speaker and computer. The Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) were taken at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz which based on 1 octave frequency bands. The analysis shown that the sample 90 % + 10 % clay cement casting has the higher transmission loss in the lower frequency region, the sample 90 % + 10 % clay cement uniaxial press has the higher transmission loss in the middle frequency region and lastly the sample 100 % clay uniaxial press has the higher transmission loss in higher frequency region. The sample also were tested using Charpy impact test in order to gain their impact energy and impact strength. The tests were according to ASTM-D256. Charpy impact test can determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. The analysis shown that the impact energy of the ceramic panel have a small percentage different. It can be concluded that uniaxial press is better than the slip casting in forming ceramic insulation panel.
Investigation on microstructural and mechanical properties of sub-zero processed AISI 440C steel
Authors: Kumar Vignesh , Thirumurugan Rama , Shanmugam  
Published: August 2020

AbstractSub-zero processing is an effective method to enhance the mechanical properties of steel due to the complete removal of residual austenite, and better precipitation of secondary carbides. Especially, the sub-zero processing temperature significantly influences the mechanical properties of steel. In the present study, the impacts of shallow and deep sub-zero processing on the microstructure, hardness, wear characteristics, and toughness of 440C martensitic steel were evaluated. An attempt has been made to correlate the influences of microstructural changes on these measured properties. It was found that although shallow sub-zero processing was capable of reducing the amount of residual austenite, deep sub-zero processing was required for its complete removal. Due to the low-temperature martensite formation at −196 °C, deep sub-zero processed specimens possessed a twinned martensite microstructure that significantly improved their strength. Furthermore, deep sub-zero processing increased the volume of micro-carbides by driving alloying carbides to the nearby defects. Hence, deep sub-zero processing led to a 15% improvement in hardness and up to a 60% improvement in wear resistance with an 11% drop in toughness. In contrast, shallow sub-zero processing improved the hardness and wear resistance by 7% and 23%, respectively, with a 30% drop in toughness.
Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of glucose-capped CdS nanoparticles
Authors: Kumar S. , Sharma J. K. , Sharma S. K. , Dhupar A. , Sharma V. , Gaur A. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
CdS nanoparticles are synthesized by a simple chemical coprecipitation technique using glucose as a capping/complexing agent and their structural, morphological, electrical and magnetic properties are studied. X-ray diffraction results reveal the pure phase formation of CdS nanoparticles along with a wurtzite structure. The interaction of the glucose with CdS nanoparticles is evident from the distinct absorption bands and peaks in the Fourier transform infrared spectra. Field effect scanning electron microscope and high resolution transmission electron microscope images depict weakly aggregated spherical nanoparticles of size ~2- 20 nm. The selective area electron diffraction pattern exhibits well-resolved diffraction rings representing the polycrystalline nature of the nanoparticles. The optical band gap has been calculated using Tauc’s plot and found to be 2.58 eV, which is higher than the band gap of the bulk phase wurtzite CdS. The existence of the excitonic peak and the blue-shift in the absorption threshold confirm the quantum confinement in the synthesized nanoparticles. The temperature dependence of d. c. conductivity is studied and observed a linear response through current-voltage characteristics. Weak ferromagnetism is also observed in the synthesized CdS nanoparticles irrespective of the diamagnetic nature of CdS in bulk form. The observation of weak ferromagnetism in the synthesized nanoparticles proposes them as a potential candidate for diluted magnetic semiconductors.

Modeling for Polymer Additive Manufacturing Processes
Authors: Hopkinson Neil , Rosen David 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThis article focuses on four industrial additive manufacturing approaches that are used to create polymer parts. The first section focuses on material extrusion, providing information on lumped-parameter material flow models and higher-fidelity models developed to estimate temperature distribution. The second section covers polymer powder-bed sintering/ fusion, discussing the different levels of scale used to address modeling and the impact of process settings: thermodynamics at the powder-bed surface, consolidation of adjacent particles in the fusion process, and fusion and molecular-level behavior within particles. The third section on vat photopolymerization (VPP) discusses two primary approaches to modeling VPP processes, namely a lumped-parameter approach to estimate cured regions in the vat, known as the Jacobs model, and a high-fidelity, continuum approach that uses finite-element methods. The final section is devoted to material jetting, focusing on simulations used to study droplet generation at the nozzle and droplet impact.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Aerosol jet printing (AJP) can digitally fabricate intricate patterns on conformal surfaces with applications that include flexible electronics and antennas on complex geometries. Given the potential performance and economic benefits, aerosol jetting was studied and compared with the well-known and competing inkjet printing (IJP). More than 35 of the most relevant, highly cited articles were reviewed, focusing on applications requiring fine features on complex surfaces. The following performance indicators were considered for the comparison of AJP and IJP, because these aspects were the most commonly mentioned within the included articles and were identified as being the most relevant for a comprehensive performance assessment: printing process, line width, overspray, complex surface compatibility, diversity of printable materials, and deposition rate. This article is an account of the results of this comparison study in terms of printing capabilities, ink requirements, and economic aspects.

Published: August 2020

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objectivo analisar concepções sobre o processo pedagógico construídas por professores em início de carreira sem algum acompanhamento. A pesquisa decorreu em 2018 e foram selecionados dez professores que lecionam no Ensino Básico. Os sujeitos tinham entre 1 a 2 anos de experiência. Foi conduzida uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados em função da abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados indicam que as concepções sobre processos pedagógicos construídas pelos professores entrevistados se circunscrevem aos processos de colaboração entre professores iniciantes. Em contrapartida, a colaboração entre professores em início de carreira e os mais experientes se revela pouco exequível e problemática.

Formação e prática docente: sobre a visibilidade das professoras lésbicas.
Authors: Vianna Cláudia 
Published: August 2020

Este artigo traz reflexões que foram aprofundadas em uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre professoras lésbicas na Educação Básica. De modo geral, a questão que se coloca é: quais são os distintos significados de ser uma professora lésbica na Educação Básica, tendo em vista o tabu que isso ainda representa no meio escolar e as necessidades de uma educação de respeito pela diversidade? Esta consideração é fundamental, especialmente no atual momento vivido em nosso país, em que essa construção legítima de existência está sob ataque.
Além disso, problematizar a importância dessa questão na própria formação docente, sendo a visibilidade ou invisibilidade construída por essas professoras sempre pedagógica, ajuda a erigir uma série de conhecimentos e impressões sobre a diversidade sexual.
