Vermicompost is one of the most essential and efficient organic manure commonly applied to the mulberry field in most the advance sericulture countries. Vermicompost is the one of the beneficial biotechnology is the bioconversion of organic waste into useful form. In the current experiment, soil treated with vermicompost of three different treatments viz., Cow dung + Seri-waste (T-1), Cow dung +Seri-waste (T-2) and Cow dung +Seri-waste + Rice straw (T-3) were recorded different parameters. After the application of different treatment of vermicompost the best recorded treatment as a T-as 6.7 pH. The moisture retention capacity was recorded as 52% in T-1 and 74% and 62% respectively in T-2 and T-3, with electric conductivity as 2-3ms/cm. The soil texture of soil treated with T-2 (Cow dung +Seri-waste) showed best input as 50% as compared to T-1 and least in T-3 as 40% and 35% respectively. Application of different treatment of vermicompost on soil recorded to be T-2 (Cow dung +Seri-waste) showed positive response and high availability of microorganisms that are beneficial for the mulberry plant. The germination percentage of seed of mulberry treated with different treatment was recorded to be highest of 90% in T-2 and root and shoot length of plant grown as 26cm and 12cm as compared to T-1 and T-3 as 19 cm and 8cm, 34cm and 10cm respectively. Similarly, the moisture percentage and moisture retention capacity of T-2 was recorded to be highest as 74.64% and 73.21% respectively. Therefore, the current experiment opens new avenues vermicompost substrate for promoting of by-product utilization seri-waste in sericulture. The resultant product could be utilized for agricultural and horticultural as well. The present results offer numerous scopes for further sustainable agriculture with special emphasis on sericulture industry.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, antidiabetic and hypolipidemic potential of Garcinia kola seed tincture in streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino Wistar rats.
Study Design: This study is a non-randomized experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Animal House of the Department of Applied and Environmental Biology, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, between August and December, 2019.
Methodology: A total of 46 male Albino rats were used. Garcinia kola seed was bought and 10g of the seed was macerated with 50 mL of 43% alcoholic Gordon and stored at 4°C. Six rats were used for the pilot study to determine the concentration of streptozotocin that could induce diabetes, the remaining 40 rats were divided into 8 groups of 5 rats each, with different experimental treatments. “Streptozotocin diabetes” was achieved by intraperitoneally injecting the rats with 45 mg/kg streptozotocin, glibenclamide and metformin doses were extrapolated from human doses and rats treated with Garcinia kola seed tincture were separately given low (1 ml/kg), high (3 ml/kg) of the tincture or in combination with the either glibenclamide or metformin once per day for 30 days. Rat ELISA kits were used to determine the levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS) and malondaldehyde (MDA). An autoanalyzer was used to assay for fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol, while oxidative stress indices (OSI) and LDL-cholesterol were calculated. SPSS version 22.0 for Windows was used for statistical analysis and P<.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The results showed that there were significantly higher (P<.001) MDA, TOS, OSI and FBG levels after streptozotocin induction. On treatment with G. kola seed tincture, values were observed to have significantly reduced. Only TG level was significantly higher after induction and a significant lower TG level was also observed only in the group of rats treated with the higher dose of the tincture. Liver enzyme activities did not show any significantly higher values after induction, but values were significantly raised after treatment with tincture and alcohol separately.
Conclusion: From the results, we conclude that Garcinia kola seeds tincture has both hypoglycemic and antioxidant attenuating effects in “streptozotocin diabetes” albino wistar rats.

Abstract

Thessaly is a region in northern Greece. The term refers narrowly to the area of two great plains drained by the Peneios River but is also used to designate a much broader region, which extends from Mount Olympos in the north to Mount Oita in the south. In the Archaic and Classical periods there were at least twenty‐five Thessalian

Enabling Fast Photoresponse in Near‐Infrared Organic Phototransistors by Manipulating Minority Charge Trapping and Recombination

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe organic phototransistors (OPTs) featuring built‐in amplification afford ultrahigh photoresponse. However, the response speed is usually slow in disordered OPTs, limited by the charge trapping/recombination process caused by inherent trap sites. This work studies the relationship between the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics and photoresponse characteristics in a near‐infrared (NIR) light‐sensitive OPT. It is found that the introduction of a small amount of electron acceptor into a p‐type polymer, forming a donor:acceptor bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ), in the OPT channel can dramatically improve the overall response speed of the detector. This is because the exciton dissociation and charge separation at the donor/acceptor interface not only improves the photoresponse but also reduces the minority charge trapping. Less charge trapping/recombination is essential to achieve a fast response in OPTs. As a result, the rise and fall time are improved from 1.3 and 3.5 s for the polymer‐only‐based NIR OPTs to 16 and 119 ms for the organic BHJ‐based NIR OPTs, making it suitable for use in medically relevant photoplethysmography applications.

AbstractThird‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) absorption properties and ultra‐fast carrier dynamics of organic 4‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐4'‐N'‐methyl‐stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) at the wavelength of 520 nm are investigated by femtosecond open‐aperture Z‐scan technique and transient absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Z‐scan measurements indicate that DAST solution exhibits ultra‐high nonlinear saturable absorption (SA) responses with a figure of merit of 4.57 × 10−13 esu cm and a saturation strength of 3.20 GW cm−2, far superior to those of the most known 2D SA materials under similar excitations. Transient absorption results reveal that the outstanding SA performances of the solution‐phase DAST are rooted in ultra‐fast ground‐state bleaching based on the Pauli blocking effect. The subsequent excited state carrier relaxation processes are dominated by rapid intraband carrier cooling and defect‐assisted interband Auger recombination. Moreover, high‐quality DAST−polyvinyl alcohol composite films prepared by solution casting exhibit similar ultra‐high SA responses and reliable long‐term stability without any degradation of their SA responses even after exposure to air moisture for 100 days. These findings establish an experimental and theoretical foundation for the development of high‐performance ultra‐fast optoelectronic devices based on organic NLO materials in the future.

Authors: See Willy W. L. , Li Xirui , Li Zhi 
Published: December 2022

AbstractNew types of one‐pot multi‐step enzymatic cascade transformation involving dynamic kinetic resolution to convert racemic substrates to chiral products in high ee and yield were developed. Unique cascade reactions of easily accessible racemic trans‐β‐methyl or α‐methyl epoxides to produce (S)‐2‐arylpropionic acids, (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐arylpropyl amines were demonstrated via styrene oxide isomerase (SOI)‐catalyzed Meinwald epoxide rearrangement to generate 2‐arylpropanal in situ, which was followed by spontaneous racemization, and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)‐catalyzed (S)‐enantioselective oxidation or transaminase (TA)‐catalyzed (R)‐ or (S)‐enantioselective amination, respectively. Cascade reactions performed with isolated enzymes or whole‐cell biocatalysts produced pharmaceutically relevant (S)‐2‐arylpropionic acids, (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐arylpropyl amines with high enantioselectivity and yield. The cascades starting with in situ aldehyde generation from epoxides effectively minimized side reactions related to aldehyde instability and displayed a wide substrate scope.magnified image

Published: December 2022

AbstractAiming at the cruising range of electric vehicles, this paper proposes a control strategy for electric vehicle electromechanical composite braking mode switching based on motor braking force correction. The braking force of the motor is adjusted by factors such as braking intensity to improve the braking energy recovery, and the braking force distribution curve is designed considering the braking energy and braking safety and stability. The research results show the braking time, braking torque, and battery charge. The peak value of discharge current has been improved, and the braking energy recovery efficiency has increased by 9.17% and 3.32% respectively under different working conditions. Under different braking modes with an initial speed of 30 km h−1, the braking energy recovered by the battery has increased by 16.04 , 3.89, 9.63 kJ, the braking time and braking distance are also shorter, which highlights the superiority of this control strategy.

AbstractWährend Materialien auf der Basis organischer Moleküle in der Regel entweder exzellente optoelektronische oder exzellente chirale Eigenschaften aufweisen, ist die Kombination aus beiden selten. Hier wird ein kristalliner chiroptischer Film auf Basis von Porphyrin mit homochiralen Seitengruppen vorgestellt. Während das gelöste Molekül einen planaren, also achiralen Porphyrin‐Kern hat, ist der Porphyrin‐Kern beim Einbau in einen metallorganischen Gerüstfilm (MOF) verdreht und chiral. Die dichte Packung und die kristalline Ordnung der Porphyrinmoleküle im MOF‐Film führen auch zu hervorragenden optoelektronischen Eigenschaften. Durch Anregung des Soret‐Bandes von Porphyrin wird eine effiziente Fotoleitung mit einem hohen An‐Aus‐Verhältnis erreicht. Noch wichtiger ist, dass eine von der Händigkeit abhängige Fotoleitfähigkeit von zirkular polarisiertem Licht mit einem Dissymmetriefaktor g von 4.3×10−4 erreicht wird. Wir gehen davon aus, dass die Kombination solcher chiralen Filme mit der reichhaltigen Porphyrinchemie eine Fülle von organischen Materialien mit außergewöhnlichen chiralen und optoelektronischen Eigenschaften ermöglichen wird.

Published: December 2022

AbstractHeterocycles containing group 13 and 15 elements such as borazines are an integral part of organic, biomedical and materials chemistry. Surprisingly, heterocycles containing P and Al are rare. We have now utilized phosphaalumenes in reactions with alkynes, alkenes and conjugated double bond systems. With sterically demanding alkynes 1,2‐phosphaalumetes were afforded, whereas the reaction with HCCH or HCCSiMe3gave 1,4‐phosphaaluminabarrelenes. Using styrene saturated 1,2‐phosphaalumates were formed, which reacted further with additional styrene to give different regio‐isomers of 1,4‐aluminaphosphorinanes. Using ethylene, a 1,4‐aluminaphosphorinane is obtained, while with 1,3‐butadiene a bicyclic system containing an aluminacyclopentane and a phosphirane unit was synthesized. The experimental work is supported by theoretical studies to shed light on the mechanism governing the formation of these heterocycles.
Chemical abundances in the dwarf galaxy NGC 4163 based on the nebular and auroral emission lines
Authors: Zinchenko I. A. , Pilyugin L. S. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWe constructed an oxygen abundance map and N/O ratio map of the unusually low excitation dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 4163 based on publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. We detected auroral emission line [O II]7320,7330 which allows us to measure chemical abundance by direct method. We found that the scatter of the oxygen abundance derived by the strong line method is large. The oxygen abundances 12 + log(O/H) derived by strong line method vary from to with a mean value of . The oxygen abundances derived in two apertures of 2 arcseconds by the direct method using our measurements of the auroral line is about 7.8 dex. The nitrogen‐to‐oxygen ratio of about −1.5 is typical value for a low metallicity galaxy, maybe slightly shifted towards higher N/O ratios with respect to the N/O values in the H II regions in nearby galaxies. An unusual negative trend between (N/O) and oxygen abundance is detected. NGC 4163 is a gas‐poor galaxy with a neutral atomic gas mass fraction of around 0.25. The oxygen abundance in the galaxy is only around 0.1 of the oxygen abundance potentially attainable in a galaxy with such a gas mass fraction. The low metallicity coupled with the low gas mass fraction implies that either the metallicity of the interstellar medium of the galaxy was reduced by pristine gas infall in the recent epoch or the evolution of this galaxy was accompanied by strong galactic winds.
Teotihuacán as a solar city in its graphic representation
Authors: Cabrera Verónica Ortega , Esteban Edith Vergara , del Castillo Gómez Enrique Raymundo 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this work, we present a proposal for the identification of the origin of the name of the pre‐Columbian urban center of Teotihuacan, the city of gods, based on its toponym structured in geographic accidents or the work of its inhabitants. A historical investigation was carried out, contrasted with an ethnohistorical work and, finally, a series of field observations. We concluded that the name Teotihuacán corresponds to the image registered in the Codex Xólotl, corresponding to a real, observable and measurable event, which is the sunrise located behind the three main buildings of the city, on certain dates of the year, which tells us that the entire city was designed, thought and planned on basis of the sun′s movement in the sky. This is not a new fact, frequently observed in other ancient sites in Mesoamerica. However, in the particular case of Teotihuacan, these events were of such importance and so unique that they lead us do not to discard the idea that the city constituted a great stone clock and a stone calendar, and that it was an unique mark for all inhabitants of the central plateau of Mesoamerica during the classical period. And that even in the post‐classical period it was still remembered precisely as such, as the City of the Sun, a singular place where one can perfectly see the solar alignments at different periods of the year, which are also related to the dry or rainy seasons of the central plateau, associated with the corresponding agricultural cycles. And this leads us to conjecture that the Teotihuacan knowledge of astronomy and agricultural cycles was an important mark of this city, bringing together all the knowledge in turn gathered in these fields by the other civilizations of Mesoamerica.
