The cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on Rajmash and Greengram were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kupwara, J&K at farmers’ fields during the year 2021. Through farmer meetings and group discussions, the crucial inputs in the production technology were identified. The results for Rajmash and Greengram showed that overall yield trends of demonstrations varied from 7.00 q/ha to 11 q/ha and 6.00 q/ha to 9.00 q/ha, respectively, with yield increase of 57.14% and 50% over the yield of local practices. Due to significant heterogeneity in the extent of adoption of recommended technology based on the level of risk associated in terms of cost,convenience, skill, and information regarding the concerned practise, the yield levels were much lower under local practices. Rajmash and greengram's average extension gap, technology gap, and technology index, respectively, were found to be 4.00, 1.00 q/ha and 8.33 percent and 3.00, 1 q/ha and 10.00 percent. The demonstration's average gross and net returns for the rajmash and greengram crops, respectively, were 44.44 and 145.33 percent, 70.00 and 289.55 percent greater than the farmer’s practices. In rajmash and greengram, the average benefit-cost ratio was higher with 44 and 145 percent respectively. Variations in agro-climatic factors, soil fertility, biotic stresses, economic status, and management practices were found to cause variations in the technology gap and index percentage. By encouraging farmers to use sustainable technical practices for increasing the yield and productivity of pulse crops, this variation can be reduced. With the application of pesticide, the performance of enhanced technology was shown to be most successful in controlling the smallest number of afflicted plants/m2 as well as the smallest number of pods/plants. Under demonstrations, production was higher than local practice. In order to increase the area and production of pulses in the Kupwara District of Jammu and Kashmir, pulse production and protection technology has a wide range of potential applications.

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen and phosphorus, while excessive use of chemical fertilizers causes environmental hazards. Use of Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing hazards. The use of Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria can be a sustainable strategy to overcome these problems.
The present investigation was conducted during Kharif season of 2022 at Chamelti Agriculture Farm, MS Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction with EC in safer range, medium in organic carbon, available nitrogen, potassium and high in available phosphorus. The field experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design comprising sixteen treatments with three replications. The experiment consists of four levels of bio-fertilizer i.e., (S0) Control, (S1) Rhizobium 10 ml kg-1 seed, (S2) PSB 10 ml kg-1 seed and (S3) Rhizobium + PSB both 10 ml kg-1 seed as first factor and four levels of phosphorus i.e., (P0) control, (P1) 20 kg ha-1, (P2) 40 kg ha-1 and (P3) 60 kg ha-1 as second factor. Recommended dose of nitrogen and potassium (20:20 kg ha-1) was applied through urea and MOP at the time of sowing. Himlobia-2 variety of cowpea was used for sowing. Other crop management practices were followed as per the recommendation of the area.
Results indicated that among the seed treatments, seed inoculation with (S3) Rhizobium + PSB both 10 ml kg-1 of seed recorded significant improvement in growth, yield and economics of cowpea, over single inoculation of Rhizobium and PSB which was statistically at par with (S1) Rhizobium over rest of the treatments. Application of 60 kg P ha-1 resulted significantly higher growth, yield and quality of cowpea and was on par with 40 kg ha-1. Economically, (S3) Rhizobium + PSB both 10 ml kg-1 of seed along with application of 0 kg P ha-1 resulted in higher gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio under Mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh.

Background: In recent years, studies have been conducted to understand the immuno-inflammatory changes related to COVID-19. Different serum biomarkers have been extensively investigated as diagnostic and/or prognostic markers of various clinical outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels, and the CRP-to-albumin ratio, determined on hospital admission, for predicting mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 from March to August 2020 in two reference hospitals, one public and one private, in the Central Region of Brazil. The most important laboratory data included serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin concentrations determined on hospital admission. The prognostic value of each biomarker for predicting patient mortality was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: A total of 128 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 during the study period, of whom 70 (54.7%) were male, with a mean age of 51.4 years. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) CRP concentration in patients who died was 152.1 (108.2) mg/dL, which was higher than that in survivors (p=0.007). The mean (SD) albumin concentration was 3.0 (0.6) g/dL among patients who died, which was lower than that in survivors (p=0.004). The mean [SD] CRP-to-albumin ratio was significantly higher among patients who died than among survivors (54.8 [32.8] vs. 34.8 [43.9]; p=0.002). ROC curves showed a higher diagnostic accuracy (69%) for the CRP-to-albumin ratio than for CRP or albumin alone. Analysis of different cut-off points for this ratio showed sensitivities ranging from 71.4% to 92.9%. These results confirm previous observations that CRP, albumin and CRP-to-albumin ratio are associated with serious outcomes from COVID-19 and their measurement at hospital admission identifies patients with a worse prognosis of the disease. Conclusions: Serum concentrations of CRP and albumin and the CRP-to-albumin ratio determined on hospital admission are accurate biomarkers with good sensitivity for predicting mortality among hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

ImportanceSocial determinants of health (SDOH) influence child health. However, most previous studies have used individual, small-set, or cherry-picked SDOH variables without examining unbiased computed SDOH patterns from high-dimensional SDOH factors to investigate associations with child mental health, cognition, and physical health.ObjectiveTo identify SDOH patterns and estimate their associations with children’s mental, cognitive, and physical developmental outcomes.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based cohort study included children aged 9 to 10 years at baseline and their caregivers enrolled in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study between 2016 and 2021. The ABCD Study includes 21 sites across 17 states.ExposuresEighty-four neighborhood-level, geocoded variables spanning 7 domains of SDOH, including bias, education, physical and health infrastructure, natural environment, socioeconomic status, social context, and crime and drugs, were studied. Hierarchical agglomerative clustering was used to identify SDOH patterns.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAssociations of SDOH and child mental health (internalizing and externalizing behaviors) and suicidal behaviors, cognitive function (performance, reading skills), and physical health (body mass index, exercise, sleep disorder) were estimated using mixed-effects linear and logistic regression models.ResultsAmong 10 504 children (baseline median [SD] age, 9.9 [0.6] years; 5510 boys [52.5%] and 4994 girls [47.5%]; 229 Asian [2.2%], 1468 Black [14.0%], 2128 Hispanic [20.3%], 5565 White [53.0%], and 1108 multiracial [10.5%]), 4 SDOH patterns were identified: pattern 1, affluence (4078 children [38.8%]); pattern 2, high-stigma environment (2661 children [25.3%]); pattern 3, high socioeconomic deprivation (2653 children [25.3%]); and pattern 4, high crime and drug sales, low education, and high population density (1112 children [10.6%]). The SDOH patterns were distinctly associated with child health outcomes. Children exposed to socioeconomic deprivation (SDOH pattern 3) showed the worst health profiles, manifesting more internalizing (β = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.14-1.37) and externalizing (β = 1.43; 95% CI, 0.83-2.02) mental health problems, lower cognitive performance, and adverse physical health.ConclusionsThis study shows that an unbiased quantitative analysis of multidimensional SDOH can permit the determination of how SDOH patterns are associated with child developmental outcomes. Children exposed to socioeconomic deprivation showed the worst outcomes relative to other SDOH categories. These findings suggest the need to determine whether improvement in socioeconomic conditions can enhance child developmental outcomes.

AbstractStrong chemical or voltage‐driven studies of gallium alloys (liquid metal, LM) show methods of altering the surface energy of the bare alloys by controlling Ga2O3 (Gallium Oxide)‐ a 3‐5 nm surface oxide that forms on LM. However, various fluids (i.e., water) interact weakly compared to strong acids or bases and do not etch Ga2O3. Specialized instruments are often required to study such interactions, which are not readily available. Herein, an LM‐based nanoporous conductive wire platform is demonstrated, which can effectively be utilized for real‐time weaker interfacial studies. The unconventional platform allows fluid transport and interfacial studies within the nanoporous domain, which is still foreign in the literature. Nanoporous conductive wires are fabricated by injecting eutectic gallium indium (eGaIn) into hollow microtubes collected from expired and unused artificial kidneys. These steps upcycle medical waste and confine Ga2O3 at the nanopores for an inexpensive metal‐oxide/metal framework. The platform for interfacial fluidics is harnessed, leveraging deionized (DI) water, 1 m hydrochloric acid (HCl), and 95% ethanol (EtOH). This study also demonstrates capacitive sensors that can be immediately implemented using nanoporous conducive wires. Advanced applications from this study suggest that future exploration of such soft systems can lead to more nano/bioanalyses harnessing LM alloys.

AbstractThe efficient manipulation of magnetization using spin‐orbit torques (SOTs) generated by heavy metals and topological insulators has attracted significant attention. However, the symmetry of these conventional materials makes it challenging to achieve deterministic switching of perpendicular magnetization by currents, which prevents the practical application of SOT‐based spintronic devices such as magnetic memories and logics. Here, a composition gradient in a TaxTi1‐x alloy is introduced and the field‐free magnetization switching in TaxTi1‐x/CoFeB heterostructures with controllable SOT efficiencies is realized. Additionally, by engineering the gradient with a tilting angle relative to the current injection arm of the device, highly asymmetric switching loops are achieved, which are attributed to tilted spin polarization. Based on these two switching types, namely field‐free switching and field‐assisted asymmetric switching, five programmable Boolean logic functions are successfully demonstrated using a single device. This work paves the way for high‐density computing‐in‐memory applications with industry compatible artificially‐designed asymmetric SOT materials.

AbstractDetection of long wave infrared (LWIR) light at room temperature is a long‐standing challenge due to the low energy of photons. A low‐cost, high‐performance LWIR detector or camera that operates under such conditions is pursued for decades. Currently, all available detectors operate based on amplitude modulation (AM) and are limited in performance by AM noises, including Johnson noise, shot noise, and background fluctuation noise. To address this challenge, a frequency modulation (FM)‐based detection technique is introduced, which offers inherent robustness against different types of AM noises. The FM‐based approach yields an outstanding room temperature noise equivalent power (NEP), response time, and detectivity (D*). This result promises a novel uncooled LWIR detection scheme that is highly sensitive, low‐cost, and can be easily integrated with electronic readout circuitry, without the need for complex hybridization.

AbstractMechanically deformable polymeric semiconductors are a key material for fabricating flexible organic thin‐film transistors (FOTFTs)—the building block of electronic circuits and wearable electronic devices. However, for many π‐conjugated polymers achieving mechanical deformability and efficient charge transport remains challenging. Here the effects of polymer backbone bending stiffness and film microstructure on mechanical flexibility and charge transport are investigated via experimental and computational methods for a series of electron‐transporting naphthalene diimide (NDI) polymers having differing extents of π‐conjugation. The results show that replacing increasing amounts of the π‐conjugated comonomer dithienylvinylene (TVT) with the π‐nonconjugated comonomer dithienylethane (TET) in the backbone of the fully π‐conjugated polymeric semiconductor, PNDI‐TVT100 (yielding polymeric series PNDI‐TVTx, 100 ≥ x ≥ 0), lowers backbone rigidity, degree of texturing, and π–π stacking interactions between NDI moieties. Importantly, this comonomer substitution increases the mechanical robustness of PNDI‐TVTx while retaining efficient charge transport. Thus, reducing the TVT content of PNDI‐TVTx suppresses film crack formation and dramatically stabilizes the field‐effect electron mobility upon bending (e.g., 2 mm over 2000 bending cycles). This work provides a route to tune π–π stacking in π‐conjugated polymers while simultaneously promoting mechanical flexibility and retaining good carrier mobility in FOTFTs.

A novel method is proposed to directly characterize the exciton‐plasmon coupling in a photosensitive nanoparticle‐on‐mirror (NPoM) nanocavity. Under the illumination of UV light, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks of the nanocavity can be continuously tuned over a wide range (≈65 nm), enabling precise determination of the energy dispersion relationship of plexcitons in the nanocavity. The results indicate that the energy of Rabi splitting can be actively tuned from 65 meV (weak coupling) to 170 meV (strong coupling) by adjusting the LSPR peak of a specific nanocavity (particle size L≈55‐92 nm) to the exciton wavelength (the zero detuning). In addition, the criterion of strong coupling is optimized by introducing single‐particle absorption spectroscopy. The work offers an intuitive method for the strong coupling characterization in nanocavity, paving the way for the real‐time tuning of coupling strength over a wide range (100 meV) from weak to strong coupling regimes.

AbstractMetal oxysulfides are an emerging group of sensitive materials for high‐performance NO2 sensing owing to their room‐temperature operation capacity, excellent selectivity of NO2, the part‐per‐billion‐leveled limit of detection, as well as high stability against the ambient environment. Here, the room‐temperature NO2 sensing performances of zinc oxysulfide 3D micro‐self‐assembly composed of ultrathin nanoflakes are investigated. The combined hydrothermal–annealing approach is applied to first synthesize zinc sulfide micro‐self‐assembly and then transform it into zinc oxysulfide in a controlled environment. As a result, the majority of S atoms in zinc sulfide are replaced with O atoms, leading to the crystal structure variation from cubic/hexagonal to an orthorhombic configuration. Simultaneously, the corresponding optical bandgap is reduced from ≈3.6 – 3.8 eV to ≈1.92 eV, enabling the visible light harvesting capability. The sensor demonstrates a fully reversible and repeatable sensing response toward 1.26 ppm NO2 gas at room temperature with a response magnitude of ≈2.27 under the 460 nm excitation, a limit of detection (LOD) of 294.8 part‐per‐trillion (ppt), and almost an order of magnitude larger compared to other commonly used gas species. This work demonstrates the great potential of the metal oxysulfide framework for developing next‐generation room‐temperature NO2 gas sensors.

AbstractNon‐availability of fresh water is the dire consequence of rapid industrialization and the unregulated discharge of industrial effluents. In an attempt to recover water from highly contaminated industrial wastewater, researchers have relied on developing various materials that can treat polluted water efficiently and sustainably. 3D printed materials have proved to be an emerging technology in water treatment. 2D materials have recently enhanced filter technology due to their morphological properties. This study focuses on removing salinity and organic dyes utilizing 2D Gadolinium telluride (Gd2Te3 ) coated 3D printed (2D@3DP) complex architecture. The 2D@3DP structure can potentially increase the contact time of adsorbed saline water due to its complex architecture and can remove ≈52% salinity from brackish water. Furthermore, methylene blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO) removal efficiencies are ≈69% and 45%, respectively. Spectroscopic and microscopic results confirm the adsorption of negatively charged chlorine ions on a positively charged 2D surface. The removal of bleaching powder is also tested for real‐life applications, and ≈20% of the bleaching powder is adsorbed. Moreover, the 2D@3DP device exhibits an electrical signal due to impinging sodium chloride droplets from different heights, making it a sustainable solution to address water pollution.

AbstractDispersionless flat bands (FBs) in momentum space, given rise to electron destructive interference in frustrated lattices, offer opportunities to enhance electronic correlations and host exotic many‐body phenomena, such as Wigner crystal, fractional quantum hall state, and superconductivity. Despite successes in theory, great challenges remain in experimentally realizing FBs in frustrated lattices due to thermodynamically structural instability. Here, the observation of electronic FB in a potassium distorted colouring triangle (DCT) lattice is reported, which is supported on a blue phosphorene‐gold network. It is verified that the interaction between potassium and the underlayer dominates and stabilizes the frustrated structures. Two‐dimensional electron gas is modulated by the DCT lattice, and in turn results in a FB dispersion due to destructive quantum interferences. The FB exhibits suppressed bandwidth with high density of states, which is directly observed by scanning tunneling microscopy and confirmed by the first‐principles calculation. This work demonstrates that DCT lattice is a promising platform to study FB physics and explore exotic phenomena of correlation and topological matters.
