Authors: Sharma Shakshi , Sharma Nivedita , Kaushal Neha 
Published: February 2023

IntroductionThe current need of the food industry is to develop a safe packaging system that maintains the quality of food and prevents its spoilage. Food safety techniques improvised using functional nanoparticles minimize the chances of spoilage by maintaining moisture stability, mechanical strength, and durability and ensuring product safety. In the present study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles using purified bacteriocins obtained from probiotics. Bacteriocin-synthesized AgNPs are eco-friendly and secure packaging solutions that can be utilized in the packaging industry for the storage of food products.MethodsCrude, partially purified and purified bacteriocin was obtained from three potential probiotic isolates, i.e., Lactobacillus pentosus S6 (KU92122), Lactobacillus crustorum F11 (KT865221) and Lactobacillus spicheri G2 (JX481912). The antimicrobial efficacy of bacteriocin was tested against two food-borne spoilage-causing pathogens, i.e., Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. The purified bacteriocin obtained was used for the synthesis of AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM, and SEM techniques. The AgNPs were used for coating cellulose paper. The coated paper was characterized using SEM and was used for the storage of tomato fruit.Results and discussionThe purified bacteriocin obtained was used for the synthesis of AgNPs. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by using UV-vis spectroscopy, which showed maximum absorption at 450 nm. Furthermore, we confirm shape and morphology by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis showed the mean size of synthesized AgNPs in the range of 5–20 nm. Bacteriocin-synthesized AgNPs were then used for the coating of cellulose paper with the main motive to avoid spoilage and enhance the shelf stability of tomato fruit during storage. SEM analysis confirmed the coating of AgNPs in the cellulose paper. The enhanced antimicrobial efficacy of different treatments coated paper was observed against B. cereus and S. aureus. Out of all, F11 AgNPs coated paper showed maximum inhibition of 24 mm for S. aureus and 22 mm for B. cereus. The coated paper from three different bacteriocin-synthesized AgNPs, along with silver nitrate (AgNO3) coated and uncoated paper, was used for the storage of tomato fruit for a period of 10 days at room temperature. Changes during storage were determined by analyzing morphological and color changes. Compared to AgNO3 coated and uncoated paper, tomato fruit preserved in F11 AgNPs coated paper maintained and held its appearance and firmness, thereby confirming their effectiveness in the preservation of tomatoes.

IntroductionHow food is produced, processed, distributed, and consumed significantly impacts the sustainability of food supply chains. Short food supply chains (SFSCs) have been promoted as an alternative approach to offer sustainable solutions. However, empirical studies provide mixed evidence, and the findings greatly vary based on context. This study explores the social, economic, and environmental sustainability practices in Atlantic Canada's SFSCs from the perspective of farm businesses (producers).MethodsA semi-structured survey was conducted among 64 farmers/producers who participated in Atlantic Canadian SFSCs. Participants were asked what channel they used to sell their products and how far this location is in comparison to the production location if sold to an intermediary, how they believe they could better to improve the sustainability of their production methods, what barriers stood in their way of implementation, and how supply chain supporters could help achieve their sustainability goals.ResultsThe findings show that most farm businesses linked to SFCSs have applied ecologically sound production methods such as organic farming, IPM, or other sustainable practices, including regenerative agriculture and no-till farming. Over two-thirds of farm businesses applied sustainable practices such as pasture rotations, green fertilizers, low-carbon couriers, locally sourced inputs, and compostable or recyclable packaging materials. Farm businesses in the Atlantic Provinces highly value the social sustainability of SFSCs, followed by economic and environmental sustainability. Most farm businesses linked to SFSCs were robust to supply- and demand-side shocks, registered a low number of layoffs and fast recovery of operations, and increased their profits during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. Yet, several barriers remain, the most important ones being high capital costs and longer payback periods. Other barriers include inconsistent inter-provincial trading restrictions, lack of qualified workers and shrinking agricultural land base.DiscussionSFSCs in Atlantic Canadian SFSCs have implemented several sustainable practices in their production and distribution systems. Most of the farm businesses linked to SFSCs are small, are focused on specific product groups, target small towns or rural areas, and rely on direct-on farm sales to individual customers, and thus can play a crucial role by complementing longer food supply chains. By taking SFSCs in Atlantic Provinces as a case, this study expands our understanding of recent efforts and challenges local producers face to adopt sustainable practices in their production and distribution systems.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundFree tissue transfer to the knee region in patients with chronic post-traumatic knee osteomyelitis (CTKOM) poses a great challenge to surgeons because the remaining soft tissues adjacent to defects, including vascular structures, are usually damaged by chronic inflammation and multiple debridements. Thus, we developed an algorithm to help select the optimal recipient vessels and appropriate anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap type. In addition, we performed surgery using this algorithm and achieved successful reconstructions. This study aims to review our experiences in algorithmic reconstruction and assess its efficacy.MethodsAccording to the defect size and location, our algorithm suggested the use of various-shaped ALTP flaps with centrally located perforators (Cen-ALTP flap) or eccentrically located perforators (Ecc-ALTP flap). Besides, through the algorithm, one recipient vessel was selected among three candidates, including descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DB-LCFA), anterior tibial artery (ATA), and posterior tibial artery (PTA). Based on this algorithmic decision, we performed individualized soft tissue reconstructions of the knee in 21 patients with CTKOM, between March 2013 and June 2021. The medical records of the patients were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsThe Cen-ALTP flap (n = 15) and ATA (n = 9) were the most commonly used for reconstruction. The Cen-ALTP flap anastomosed to the ATA was most commonly selected (n = 7) using the algorithm, followed by the Cen-ALTP flap anastomosed to the DB-LCFA (n = 5), and the Cen-ALTP flap anastomosed to the PTA (n = 3). All transferred ALTP flaps survived the follow-up period. Postoperative venous congestion in two patients and hematoma in one patient were resolved by immediate treatment. The postoperative course was uneventful.ConclusionDuring free ALTP flap transfer to CTKOM-related knee defects, we could select the optimal recipient vessel and appropriate flap type using our algorithm and obtain excellent reconstructive outcomes. Therefore, we believe that our algorithm could provide helpful guidance to reconstructive surgeons on free ALTP flap transfer to reconstruct CTKOM-related soft tissue defects.

The inhibition of carbohydrate-lectin interactions is being explored as an efficient approach to anti adhesion therapy and biofilm destabilization, two alternative antimicrobial strategies that are being explored against resistant pathogens. BC2L-C is a new type of lectin from Burkholderia cenocepacia that binds (mammalian) fucosides at the N-terminal domain and (bacterial) mannosides at the C-terminal domain. This double carbohydrate specificity allows the lectin to crosslink host cells and bacterial cells. We have recently reported the design and generation of the first glycomimetic antagonists of BC2L-C, β-C- or β-N-fucosides that target the fucose-specific N-terminal domain (BC2L-C-Nt). The low water solubility of the designed N-fucosides prevented a full examination of this promising series of ligands. In this work, we describe the synthesis and biophysical evaluation of new L-fucosyl and L-galactosyl amides, designed to be water soluble and to interact with BC2L-C-Nt. The protein–ligand interaction was investigated by Saturation Transfer Difference NMR, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry and crystallographic studies. STD-NMR experiments showed that both fucosyl and galactosyl amides compete with α-methyl fucoside for lectin binding. A new hit compound was identified with good water solubility and an affinity for BC2L-C-Nt of 159 μM (ITC), which represents a one order of magnitude gain over α-methyl fucoside. The x-ray structure of its complex with BC2L-C-Nt was solved at 1.55 Å resolution.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
This work comprehensively analyzes the error robustness of hyperdimensional computing (HDC) by using FeFET-based local multiply and global accumulate computation-in-memory. HDC trains and infers with hypervectors (HVs). Symmetric or asymmetric errors, which simulate read-disturb and data-retention errors of FeFET, are injected into Item memory and/or Associative memory before/after or during training in various cases when solving European language classification task. The detailed error injection reveals that HDC is acceptable for both symmetric and asymmetric error rate up to 10−1. Based on the detailed analysis of error robustness, training window slide (TWS) improves the error robustness against memory errors by removing data which contain different amount of errors. TWS shows 10 times higher error robustness. In addition, parallelization of HV encoding in training achieves fast training with up to 10 000 parallelism while maintaining the inference accuracy.

Abstract
Recently, room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) has been reported to be found in many kinds of oxide semiconductor nanoparticles. The origin of the magnetic moment is believed to be defects because RTFM strongly depends on particle size. In this study, we have focused on the antiferromagnetic insulator Cr2O3 due to the interesting core-sell structure (RTFM/antiferromagnetism). Furthermore, RTFM found in oxide nanoparticles is expected to depend on the sample preparation condition. Here, the effect of sample preparation condition on RTFM was investigated. Samples were nanoparticles prepared by milling oxide powders in Ar or air circumstances. Both samples indicated hysteresis at room temperature. At higher temperatures than the Néel temperature (308 K), hysteresis loops were found. A significant difference was observed in the saturation magnetization. The sample prepared in air has four times smaller saturation magnetization in 60 min milling time due to self-compensation of defects with air.

Abstract
The gas-phase etching of SiO2 was examined using HF and methanol vapor at temperatures below 0 °C and at low pressure. The etching rate of SiO2 increased with decreasing temperature and showed a maximum around –30 °C. The obtained etching rate was a maximum of 40 nm min−1 at plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition SiO2. The etching rate of SiN examined for comparison was more than ten times smaller than that of SiO2 under the same condition. As a result, the etching selectivity of SiO2 to SiN was found to be over 20 at –40 °C. When utilizing a low temperature of less than –30 °C, gas-phase etching of SiO2 showing a high etching rate and selectivity was achieved.

Published: February 2023

На основі аналізу останніх досліджень та публікацій, обґрунтовано вибір термопластичних клеїв, зокрема полівінілацетатних, для склеювання деревини та деревних матеріалів, зважаючи на добрі адгезійні властивості та екологічну безпечність. З'ясовано, що дані щодо міцності та довговічності клейових з'єднань деревини на основі полівінілацетатних клеїв є необхідними для розширення сфери їх застосування за належних умов експлуатації. Зміни міцності полівінілацетатних клейових з'єднань деревини дуба досліджено шляхом проведення тривалих експериментальних досліджень. Розподіл складових нормальних sx, sy і тангентальних tx, ty напружень у поперечних перерізах полівінілацетатних клейових з'єднань деревини дуба під час дії на них навантажень подано у вигляді графічних залежностей. Встановлено, що на відстані 0,5 мм від клейового шва компоненти нормального напруження sx, sy є значно більшими, ніж у клейовому шві та на відстані 1 мм від клейового шва. З'ясовано, що значення тангентальних напружень є значно меншими за нормальні, а розподіл їх складових tx, ty є складним і нерівномірним, як у клейовому шві, так і в приповерхневих зонах (на відстані 0,5 та 1 мм від клейового шва). Особливість розподілу складових тангентальних напружень пояснено характером дифузії клею у тканини деревини з урахуванням шорсткості поверхонь, що, водночас, зумовлює деяку нерівномірність нанесення клею. Отримані результати розподілу радіальних і тангентальних напружень у полівінілацетатних клейових з'єднаннях деревини дуба заплановано використовувати як еталонні для порівняння аналогічних результатів досліджень щодо міцності та довговічності клейових з'єднань термічно модифікованої деревини.
