REARRANGED: An opera singer’s facial cancer and life transposed Kathleen Watt
Authors: Lane Deforia 
Published: January 2024

In lyrical prose, with musical allusions, clinical references, and a bit of comic relief, Rearranged follows Kathleen Watt's plunge from the operatic stage into the netherworld of hospital life—its indigenous creatures, its peculiar language, its signposts of the mysterious human condition—through the devastation of cancer, and out the other side. Kathleen was a New York opera singer at mid-career, with a steady, lucrative chorus job at the Metropolitan Opera and solo gigs elsewhere, anticipating her best year ever. Instead, a vicious bone cancer blew her plans to smithereens, along with her face. She had to let everything go. Bit by bit, through a brutal alchemy of lethal toxins, titanium screws, and infinite kindness, she discovered new arrangements for old pieces, in a life catastrophically transposed. Not only a heart-wrenching medical odyssey but also, ultimately, a joyous personal journey of transformation.

Published: January 2024

In this paper, we compute the maximal and minimal codes of length 2p over finite fields Fq with p and q are distinct odd primes and f(p) = p – 1 is the multiplicative order of q modulo 2p. We show that, every cyclic code is a direct sum of minimal cyclic codes.

Authors: Şentürk Gülsüm Yeliz , Gürses Nurten 
Published: January 2024

Knowing the applications of quaternions in various fields, such as robotics, navigation, computer visualization and animation, in this study, we give the theory of dual quaternions considering Hyperbolic-Generalized Complex (HGC) numbers as coefficients via generalized complex and hyperbolic numbers. We account for how HGC number theory can extend dual quaternions to HGC dual quaternions. Some related theoretical results with HGC Fibonacci/Lucas numbers are established, including their dual quaternions. Given HGC Fibonacci/Lucas numbers, their special matrix correspondences have been identified and these are carried out to HGC Fibonacci/Lucas dual quaternions. Furthermore, we provide a more accurate way to quickly calculate HGC Fibonacci numbers and associate this with HGC generalized Fibonacci numbers. For implementation, we produce an algorithm in Maple. Lastly, we put the theory into practice.
Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Isolates in Causing Tomato Wilt Disease on Two Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) Varieties
Authors: Abdulkadir H K , Ekefan E J , Gwa V I 
Published: January 2024

Pathogenicity test of Fusarium oxysporum isolates in causing tomato wilt disease (TWD) was carried out on two tomato varieties (UC 82B and Rio-grande) in a screen house located at the Teaching and Research Farm of Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi during 2015 cropping season. The experiment was a 2 x 11 factorial laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and replicated three times. F. oxysporum isolates tested were coded as: FoAs1, FoAs2, FoAg, FoNb, FoSb, FoAm, FoAk, FoOr, FoAd and FoUAM together with an uninoculated control. All the isolates of F. oxysporum tested were pathogenic, causing wilt on the plants from 3 weeks after inoculation (WAI), with severity of wilt been significantly higher (P≤0.05) in FoUAM. Isolates of F. oxysporum showed significant difference (P≤0.05) both in incidence and severity compared with the control. Effect of F. oxysporum isolates on some agronomic characteristics such as plant height, number of fruits, fruit weight and number of branches on the two varieties of tomato at 12 weeks after sowing (WAS) was significantly different (P≤0.05) with the control experiment. Highest severity score of 5.00 was calculated in FoUAM while the least of 4.33 was in FoSb compare with uninoculated value of 2.50. It is therefore, concluded that the two tomato varieties are pathogenic to F. oxysporum isolates and illicit disease in tomato hence reduced the yield of the crop.

Published: January 2024

Intertidal isopods are a group of successfully surviving organisms in the littoral region of the sea. The continuous exposure to human activities and other botic and abiotic stresses can influence their distribution and diversity along the seashore. Air and water temperature, salinity, pH, and presence of nutrients such as silicate, nitrate and phosphate are studied for their influence on some of the selected intertidal isopods found in three different beaches of the southern Kerala. Monthly data was collected for the water samples and four different isopod species found in the intertidal region and the significance of their interaction was calculated with the help of SPSS, using two-way ANOVA. The statistics shows a vivid relationship between these abiotic factors and isopods under study.

Authors: Pruthviraj R D , Jahgirdhar A A 
Published: January 2024

Corrosion is a major issue in every industrial system. As a result of its widespread application, aluminum suffers enormous annual losses due to corrosion. Scientists are continually on the lookout for effective anti-corrosion strategies. Corrosion may be reduced in a number of ways, but many of them are harmful to the environment, so it's important to find a green alternative. Corrosion inhibitors in aluminum alloys can be found in green tea. In this research, we found that aluminum alloy 7075 (Al-7075) in a 3.5% NaCl solution was inhibited by both green tea. Samples of Al alloy are submerged in 3.5% NaCl solutions with and without an inhibitor for a total of 4 days. The weight-loss technique is used to determine the effectiveness of an inhibitor, with green tea with the best efficiency of 83.93% compared to the greatest efficiency of 14.29% for green tea.

Plant has been the major source of medicinal globally. This study aimed at determining the nutritional composition, antimicrobial activity and isolation of phytochemical from the leaf of Ziziphus spina-Christi. Proximate composition, elemental (Ca, Na, Mg, K, P, Cu, Cd, Fe, Ni, Zn) concentrations, phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity were carried out using standard protocols. Column chromatographic elution process was used to fractionate the methanol extract and Preparative TLC was used to isolate a compound. The result of the proximate composition and elemental concentration levels showed that the leaf is nutritious. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, saponins and tannins. The methanol extract inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphyloccocus aureus and Bacillus subtilis significantly at extract concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500mg/mL was used, thus having antimicrobial activity. The compound isolated has 114-116oC melting point (uncorrected) with a single banding pattern confirmed by TLC study. Physical and chemical tests of isolated compound were conducted. By using IR,1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of the isolated compound was confirmed as Quercetin – a flavonoid.
Godel, Escherian Staircase and Possibility of Quantum Wormhole With Liquid Crystalline Phase of Iced-Water - Part I: Theoretical Underpinning

As a senior physicist colleague and our friend, Robert N. Boyd, wrote in a journal (JCFA, Vol. 1,. 2, 2022), Our universe is but one page in a large book [4]. For example, things and Beings can travel between Universes, intentionally or unintentionally. In this short remark, we revisit and offer short remark to Neil’s ideas and trying to connect them with geometrization of musical chords as presented by D. Tymoczko and others, then to Escher staircase and then to Jacob’s ladder which seems to point to possibility to interpret Jacob’s vision as described in the ancient book of Genesis as inter dimensional or heavenly staircase, e.g. an inter dimensional bridge between heaven and earth (see also classic book: Hofstadter, Godel, Escher, Bach). Jacob’s vision of angels going down to earth from that staircase has been depicted for instance in William Blake art etc. In our communication with others via physics literature and discussions etc, we came to several conclusions as follows: Firstly, possibility of quantum wormhole effect to mirror particle universe, which sometimes it is termed non-orientable wormhole. While such mirror particles effect have been more than 50 years predicted with the so-called parity violation (cf. Lee & Yang, 1950s), and that is called symmetry breaking. Secondly, a series of extended experiments on laser irradiated cold water may suggest possible transition from a phase of water to be at least partially fourth phase of water, which may be composed of crystalline water (see e.g. Gerald Pollack, and also Harold Aspden on liquid crystalline). If we can imagine laser cooling effect can be done in protracted time, then we can achieve a physical representation of Aspden‘s liquid crystalline. Therefore, in subsequent article (Part II) we outlined simple model of such an effect of tunneling via quantum liquid crystalline Universe, which may likely be modeled with iced-water. It is interesting to remark here that certain experiments by Stockholm University scientists have shown that X-ray triggered water can exhibit properties just like liquid crystal (cf. PRL, 2020). That is why we consider it possible that there can be quantum phase transition where liquid water (comprised of iced cubes and water) can exhibit effects such as tunneling in quantum liquid crystalline Universe. Last but not least, we admit that what we outlined here is just an initial phase; and if you wish, perhaps we can call such experiments as “wormhole-at-lab” experiments (abbreviated: WHALE).

Authors: Ghogge Rajashekar , Kenchamarappa  , Pruthviraj R D 
Published: January 2024

Nano-metal-matrix composites (NMCs) are novel composite materials in which nano-phase such as nano-particles, nano-rods, nano-structured materials are reinforced with metals or alloys to improve the physical, mechanical, wear and other properties. The results of previous works have shown that the addition of nanoclay reinforcement to aluminium alloys has improved the hardness, tensile strength and Young’s modulus. Hence, the present work is focused on development and characterisation of nanoclay reinforced NMCs. Evaluating the effect of the reinforcement on the important physical properties such as corrosion properties studies were carried out. The recorded results from all tests were discussed in detail with supporting evidences. Optical microstructures confirmed the incorporation of Carbon black in Al matrix. Grain size measurement was done by two phase linear analysis method and the SEM, optical microscopy and XRD were used to observe the microstructure for CB dispersion and the particulate distribution in the composites. It was observed that the distribution of CB particles in the matrix was even without any visible accumulation. It was noticed that there was an increase in density of the MMCs with the increase in the weight percentage of the reinforcement. The corrosion by weight loss of the composite decreased with increase in the weight percentage of the reinforcement. The conclusions drawn indicatethe important results and outcome of the work.

Rabi Waves for Excitation of Quantum Nanoantenna with Electrically Controlled Radiation Pattern and Its Application
Authors: Kumar Abhinandan , Kumar Nabin 
Published: January 2024

Rabi waves for the excitation of quantum nanoantennas with electrically controlled radiation and frequency characteristics were studied. The operational frequency of the visible range was based on the high frequency component of the current. The low frequency component and its operational frequency was in the terahertz range. The feature of the Rabi wave antenna depends on the carrier frequency on the electromagnetic field intensity. The contribution of high order magnetic multipoles became essential. The radiation properties of an antenna were the same as the ideal magnetic dipole. The antenna frequency spectrum corresponded to the amplitude modulated Rabi oscillations. The high frequency current was in the optical range in the vicinity of the quantum transition frequency. The radiation field of the nano antenna was considered equivalent to the field of magnetic dipole placed in the centre of current ring and oriented orthogonal to the ring plane. The equivalence was consequence of the electrical smallness of the antenna over the working range of frequency. The results obtained were in good agreement with previous results.
Classical Wave Equation: A Gross Error in Mathematics and Physics
Authors: Kalanov Temur Z 
Published: January 2024

A detailed proof of the incorrectness of the classical wave equation is proposed. The correct methodological basis for the proof is the unity of formal logic and rational dialectics. The proof leads to the following irrefutable statement: the classical wave equation and the derivation of the classical wave equation are a gross error in mathematics and physics. The proof of this statement is based on the following irrefutable main results: (1) The first gross error is the following approximate relationship: “sine of angle is approximately equal to tangent of angle; cosine of angle is approximately equal to 1”. This relationship means (implies) that the quantity of the angle and the right-angled triangle do not exist. Consequently, the relationship between the tangent of the angle and the derivative of the displacement with respect to coordinate does not exist; (2) The second gross error is that the second-order derivative of the displacement with respect to coordinate does not exist, because the dimensions of displacement and coordinate are “meter”, the first-order derivative of the displacement with respect to coordinate is dimensionless quantity (i.e. the first-order derivative of the displacement respect to coordinate has no the dimension “meter”); (3) The third gross error is that the first-order derivative of the displacement with respect to coordinate cannot be expanded into the Taylor series, because the second-order derivative of the displacement with respect to coordinate does not exist; (4) The fourth gross error is as follows: (a) the left side of the wave equation contains the condition that time is a variable quantity, and the coordinate is a constant quantity; (b) the right side of the wave equation contains the condition that time is a constant, and the coordinate is a variable. This means (implies) that the equation contains contradictory conditions (propositions). Therefore, the equation represents a violation of the formal-logical law of the lack (absence) of contradiction; (5) The fifth gross error is that the standard derivation of the equation relies on the following false theories: negative number theory, complex numbers theory, trigonometry, vector calculus, differential calculus, and Newton's second law. Thus, the classical wave equation does not satisfy the criterion of truth and is not a scientific achievement.
