Genetic analysis of Ulva (Ulvaceae, Chlorophyta) type specimens resolves northeast Pacific blade-forming species
Authors: Hughey Jeffery R. , Miller Kathy Ann , Gabrielson Paul W. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Misapplication of Ulva epithets in GenBank has led to confusion in the scientific literature and community. To solve some of the problems, targeted DNA sequencing of plastid encoded rbcL gene amplicons or high-throughput sequencing was performed on all blade-forming Ulva type specimens from the northeast Pacific. Recently collected specimens from at or near type localities were also analyzed for some taxa. Based on these genetic analyses, we confirmed currently recognized species: U. californica, with U. angusta and U. scagelii as heterotypic synonyms, U. stenophylla, U. taeniata, and U. tanneri. Ulva dactylifera, currently considered a synonym of U. taeniata based on morpho-anatomy, is recognized as a distinct species, as is U. expansa whose type specimen was sequenced in 2018. All but two of the ITS, rbcL and tufA sequences in GenBank that were labeled U. californica were correctly named, in contrast to U. taeniata, for which only one of 14 sequences was correctly labeled. These results show that DNA sequencing of Ulva type specimens is essential for the correct application of names.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this work, a high isolation transmitter–receiver antenna with omnidirectional conical beam operating at 61.5 GHz is presented. The proposed dual-antenna system consists of a transmitter (TX) antenna and a receiver (RX) antenna with the same structure, composed of a circular metal patch with ring slot and metal shorting vias, fed by a coaxial probe at their respective geometric center. And both antennas are placed on a circular metal platform, positioned symmetrically with each other. To increase the isolation between them, three different decoupling methods are proposed, and the one with an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure added in-between shows the most promising decoupling effect, as the surface wave current can be maximally suppressed. The overall size of the antenna system is 2.2552 × π × 0.579 λ
0
3, where λ
0 is the free space wavelength at 61.5 GHz. A prototype of the proposed antenna system with EBG decoupling structure is fabricated and measured, demonstrating that the TX–RX isolation is 57.9 dB at 61.5 GHz, 21.6 dB better than that without decoupling structure, with omnidirectional conical beam radiation achieved at the same time.
Design and investigation of cavity backed bowtie antenna with unidirectional radiation pattern using characteristic mode analysis
Authors: Kamili Jagadeesh Babu , Bhattacharya Amitabha 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this work, a novel cavity backed leaf-shaped bowtie antenna is designed using Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA). An analytical expression is proposed to arrive at the leaf shape of the bowtie antenna using optimization process. The developed antenna is backed by a square-cavity to get unidirectional radiation pattern with high gain and good front-to-back-ratio characteristics. CMA technique is used in the design and optimization of the cavity structure and generalized design equation is proposed to design the cavity for getting good impedance bandwidth and broadside radiation characteristics in the Desired Band of Interest (DBI). The developed antenna resonates from 0.8 to 4.3 GHz with stable and unidirectional radiation characteristics giving maximum gain and FBR of 11.5 dBi and 15.2 dB respectively, making it suitable for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications.
Identification of similarities and clusters of bread baking recipes based on data of ingredients
Authors: Anlauf Stefan , Dorl Sebastian , Hirz Theresa , Lasslberger Melanie , Grassmann Rudolf , Himmelbauer Johannes , Winkler Stephan 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We define the similarity of bakery recipes using different distance calculations and identify groups of similar recipes using different clustering algorithms. Our analyses are based on the relative amounts of ingredients included in the recipes. We compare different clustering algorithms (k-means, k-medoid, and hierarchical clustering) to find the optimal number of clusters. Besides the standard distance calculation (euclidean distance), we test three other distance metrics (hamming distance, manhattan distance, and cosine similarity). Additionally, we reduce the impact of raw materials used in large quantities by applying two different data transformations, namely the logarithm of the original data and the binarization of the original data. Clustering recipes based on their ingredients can improve the search for similar recipes and therefore help with the time-consuming process of developing new recipes. Using the hierarchical clustering on the logarithm of the original data, we can separate 704 recipes into three different clusters, achieving a Silhouette Score of 0.531. We visualize our results via dendrograms representing the recipes’ hierarchical separation into individual groups and sub-groups.

Abstract
Shortwave ultraviolet light (UV-C) disinfection is an emerging technology used to enhance food safety by reducing the pathogen load. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) served as a numerical simulation tool to calculate the average radiation intensity within a disinfection chamber. The resulting CFD data was employed to estimate the UV-C inactivation kinetic parameters for Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes. Experimental procedures involved irradiating bacterial suspensions with UV-C doses ranging from 0 to 6.028 kJ/m2. The inactivation of S. Typhimurium was described using a log-linear equation, while UV-C survival curves for E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes were best fitted to Weibull model. Subsequently, the integration of CFD simulations and kinetic parameters enabled the estimation of UV-C doses approaching 6 kJ/m2 for the treatment of fresh-cut ‘Tommy Atkins’ mangoes inoculated with the mentioned microorganisms. This integrated approach partially predicted the inactivation of pathogens on the surface of mango spears.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this study, chicken sausages were prepared with different levels of salt (1.50 or 1.125 %) and sodium nitrite (0, 80, 125, or 250 ppm) for electrical conductivity determination. Three different heating methods were applied: smokehouse, water bath, and ohmic. The main objectives were to investigate: (1) the electrical conductivity of sausages with different formulations; (2) the heating pattern of sausages during ohmic heating compared to the conventional techniques; and (3) the accuracy of mathematical models for sample temperature prediction. The results demonstrated that the electrical conductivity values of sausage samples were suitable for ohmic heating. In ohmic heating experiments, the heating rate in the sausage center was greater than on the surface. The sausage temperature was higher than the surrounding liquid at the end of ohmic heating experiment which was opposite to the conventional heating. Overall, the most accurate model for sausage temperature prediction was basic model case iii.
Uniqueness of roots up to conjugacy in circular and hosohedral-type Garside groups
Authors: Garnier Owen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We consider a particular class of Garside groups, which we call circular groups.
We mainly prove that roots are unique up to conjugacy in circular groups.
This allows us to completely classify these groups up to isomorphism.
As a consequence, we obtain the uniqueness of roots up to conjugacy in complex braid groups of rank 2.
We also consider a generalization of circular groups, called hosohedral-type groups.
These groups are defined using circular groups, and a procedure called the Δ-product, which we study in generality.
We also study the uniqueness of roots up to conjugacy in hosohedral-type groups.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this article, we present an in-situ and operando time-resolved X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) technique which exploits a combination of Grazing Incidence XAS (GIXAS) and Fixed Energy X-ray Absorption Voltammetry (FEXRAV), the Grazing Incidence FEXRAV (GI-FEXRAV). A case-study is also outlined. Palladium ultra-low loadings were deposited above Au polycrystalline iso-oriented substrates adopting three different deposition methods: surface-controlled electrochemical methods, direct electrodeposition, and physical vapour deposition (PVD). These catalytical surfaces were prepared for the investigation by GI-FEXRAV of the Pd oxidation/dissolution phenomenon that could occur when the metal is used in the anodic compartment of Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells (DAFCs) or in electrochemical reformers. Moreover, we report a robust, low cost and versatile procedure to obtain wide and flat iso-oriented gold substrates that can mimic monocrystalline gold (1 1 1) in the electrochemical response. The use of GI-FEXRAV for the operando characterization of the catalysts, in conjunction with the designed experimental cell and our flexible Au-based electrochemical substrates show an invaluable potential in the operando study of fundamental phenomena in heterogeneous electrocatalysis model systems and, due to its versatility, paves the way to further studies on a wide selection of electrochemical systems.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Cisplatin coined a term Metallodrug and later a tradition of Metallodrugs was established. Later, severe renal and metabolic toxicities of the platinum based drugs prompted the medicinal chemists to develop new and novel metallotherapeutics with different metal cores. Henceforth, chemists designed the metal complexes based on copper, cobalt, vanadium iron and zinc. These complexes were reported for their antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic and enzyme inhibitors. Later, chemists also focused on lanthanide metal ions and resulted in the design of metal complexes for the application of bio imaging cellular studies as well as chemotherapeutic agents. This review throws a light on the recent advances in the development of the samarium complexes as efficient and versatile biological agents. Samarium complexes based on various ligand systems and ancillary ligands have been mentioned in this review stating their biological efficacy and potency against variable cancer cell lines, their DNA interactive behaviour.

Authors: Açikgözoğlu M. Kağan , Pala Şehmus , Atılgan Remzi , Ilhan Nevin , Ilhan Necip 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Investigation of angiopoietin-like protein-4 (ANGPTL-4) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) levels as a biochemical marker in gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE), which are known to have important roles in the maintenance of angiogenesis and endothelial functions.

Methods
A total of 90 patients included in this case-control study. Group 1 (G1) (n=30)=patients with healthy pregnancy between 37 and 41 weeks, G2 (n=30)=patients diagnosed with gestational hypertension between 20 and 37 weeks, G3 (n=30)=patients diagnosed with preeclampsia between 20 and 37 weeks. The sera obtained from the patients were stored at −80 °C until they were studied. Demographic parameters, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure were recorded. VEGF-A and ANGPTL-4 levels were studied with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.

Results
The mean age was similar in both groups. The number of primigravida pregnant was higher in G2 and G3 than in G1. Gestational week was more advanced in G1 compared to G2 and G3. While ANGPTL-4 and VEGF-A levels were similar between G2 and G3, they were significantly higher in both groups compared to G1.

Conclusions
We showed that ANGPTL-4 and VEGF-A levels were elevated in maternal serum in GH and PE cases. Increased maternal serum ANGPTL-4 levels may be a biomarker that can be used in the early diagnosis of PE.
Correlation between surface morphology and photocatalytic performance of electrochemically anodized SnO2 nanoparticles
Authors: Mojar Ali Jabbar , Hussein Emad H. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Dependence of photocatalytic activity of tin oxide nanostructures (SnO2 NS) on the surface morphology is reported. In contrast to previous literature, an electrochemical anodization of Sn foils was successfully carried out to switch SnO2 porous into nanoparticles (NPs). Modifying the surface was limited to a short-time anodization between 10 and 20 min with fixing electrolyte concentration and anodization voltage. Semi-circular tetragonal-phased SnO2 NPs were figured out by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also, fluorescence spectra confirm that the energy gap was expanded to 4.14 eV. Accordingly, high photo-efficiency (93.08 %) for degrading methylene blue (MB) dye was obtained. Therefore, unlike several studies on porous, the results suggest that the anodized nanoparticles are promising for high-performance catalysts.

Background and Aims. Pan facial fractures are complex and often requiring complex airway management. Elective tracheostomy (ET) and submental endotracheal intubation (SEI) are the two major techniques for airway management. The aim of this article is to compare the management outcome between these techniques. Methods. This study was done in a tertiary care hospital from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019. Data were retrieved for all patients from hospital admission-discharge reports, operation room records, follow-up notes, and clinical photograph records which was recorded prospectively after ethical clearance. Total 38 patients were included in the study after the exclusion criteria into two groups: submental endotracheal intubation (SEI) and elective tracheostomy (ET). Demographic data, intraoperative time (IOT), length of hospital stay (LOHS), postoperative pain score at three and seven days, and Vancouver Scar Score (VSS) at 4 and 12 weeks was compared between the two groups. Results. SEI consisted of 23 patients (60%) while ET had 15 (40%) patients. The mean age was 32.77±8.24 years in the SEI and 29.36±7.32 years in the ET. The IOT in SEI was 15.36±1.53 min and 24.60±1.40 min in the ET which was statistically significant (p = 0.00001). The LOHS was 11±3.87 days in SEI and 25.2±3.88 days in ET (p = 0.0001). The mean VSS at 4 and 12 weeks for SEI were moderate and mild respectively and for the ET was moderate and mild respectively. Both were statistically significant with a p = 0.003 and p = 0.006. Conclusion. Submental intubation is a safe airway management technique in pan facial fracture. It provides the surgeon with an excellent operative field for achieving the proper dental occlusion. Both short- and long-term outcomes are better compared to the alternative airway method of elective tracheostomy.

Due to urbanization, village peoples having less number of job opportunities in their own village. The house holds women in villages use their country wood fuel for their long term cooking at low cost. The rural outside air having more air pollution as compared to indoor air pollution in the ratio of 2:1 in villages. The most significant parameters were identified and air quality levels at specific place were determined with help of PM2.5, PM10, Temperature and Humidity. The village women are affected more by skin allergy, asthma, eye power loss in advance, and cancer at various levels due to long usage of country wood. In general, village men using tobacco based items like cigarette and other items. This project deals with monitoring indoor air pollution in a village house (for a middle class income family) and better understanding of indoor air quality in real time. Also, it focuses on village women facing other health-related problems like asthma, eye problems and cancer in large numbers continuously increasing day by day in a village environment. It affects the normal work done by the villagers. A powerful statistical tool also used to compare the relationship between the indoor parameters in a selected village.
The Stability of Shear Flow of Viscous Electrically Conducting Fluid in the Presence of Velocity and Magnetic Shears
Authors: R Vijayalakshmi A 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The linear stability of shear flow of an incompressible, viscous electrically conducting fluid permeated by sheared magnetic field is investigated. An unbounded two layer model consisting of different viscosity and magnetic diffusivity fluids with different velocity shear and magnetic shears is examined for the two dimensional disturbances. An analytical study using the short wavelength approximation shows that the configuration is always unstable for different diffusivities and for different shears. When the magnetic field does not vanish on the interface it may be stabilizing or destabilizing the system depending on the values of certain parameters.
Key words: Stability, shear flow, electrically conducting fluid, unbounded two layer model magnetic shear, short wavelength approximation

Aim: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) displays a constitutive tyrosine kinase (TK) activity which in turn leads to the activation of various signaling pathways and the outcome of leukemic phenotype. Activated STAT5A and STAT5B from JAK/STAT pathway induce cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and survival of leukemic cells which are promoted by a cytokine network. Since the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib has the advantage of inhibiting this oncogenic TK activity; we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of its therapeutic approach and how it induced apoptosis via analyzing the forthcoming molecular targets of the pathway.
Methods: By Nilotinib treatments, cell viability and proliferation assays, apoptotic analysis, expressional regulations of STAT5A&5B mRNA transcripts, protein expression levels, and also cytokines’ expressional assessments were determined in CML model K562 cells, in vitro.
Results: Nilotinib treatment in a time and dose-dependent manner assessed a therapeutic approach by decreasing leukemic cell proliferation and survival; inducing leukemic cell apoptosis, down-regulating STAT5A&5B mRNA, and protein expression levels, and regulating cytokine expressional network.
Conclusion: Nilotinib-mediated therapeutics could be dependent on targeting JAK/STAT pathway members STAT5A and STAT5B, besides; regulating the cytokine network might be another underlying mechanism for sensitization and response of K562 cells to nilotinib in leukemia pathogenesis.
