Haar and Yager’s Ranking Methods for Intuitionistic Dense Fuzzy Set
Authors: Swethaa S , Afelix  
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The world is full of uncertainties. To deal with the uncertain nature mathematically, fuzzy set came into being. Fuzzy set was then extended to intuitionistic fuzzy set where the set itself contains its membership, non-membership and its hesitancy. When the entire components converge at a crisp numberin a set as n→ ∞, dense fuzzy set was identified. Thus, by introducing dense fuzzy set into the field of intuitionistic set theory, intuitionistic dense fuzzy set was introduced. In this present study, an effort has been made in ranking an intuitionistic dense fuzzy set. Ranking plays a vital role in fuzzy decision making problems and in numerous fuzzy applications. Ranking a fuzzy tuples is not as easy as an ascending order ranking. There are numerous methods for ranking a fuzzy number. But in all the cases it is found that, they end up in giving unsatisfactory results due to the complexity of the problem in one way or the other. Thus, this paper paves a way in finding a ranking method for the intuitionistic dense fuzzy set by means of Haar ranking and Yager’s ranking. Numerical examples are given and Cauchy’s sequence has been utilized for better illustration.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
As per the reports published by Ministry of Water Resources GOI, increasing salinity of soil in Punjab is becoming threat to sustainability. There is an urgent need to reduce the rate of salt accumulation and improve the leaching of salts below root zone, make use of low-quality saline water and at the same time to increase the rate of germination of seeds and crop yield without leading to detrimental effects on environment.
Present study is aimed around use of electromagnetic energy for the change in the saline behaviour of water, for the investigations a characteristic sample of saline water of EC = 4000 μS/cm was magnetized by passing through a pipe fitted with 4 pairs of electromagnets, at flow rate of 2L, 3L & 4L per minute, with varying magnetic field strengths of electromagnet, by varying applied voltage of 2V and 4V. Surface Tension of differently magnetized saline water was observed by Stalagmometer drop count method. The rate of accumulation of salts in terms of EC of soil at 30 cm, 60 cm & 90 cm depths in soil was compared by irrigating soil in two 1m long vertical columns with saline water and Magnetically Treated Saline Water (MTSW) for 5 irrigations.
Effect of magnetically treated normal and saline water and Magnetic Field (MF) was also observed on seed germination and plant growth of Vigna radiata.

It was observed that not only MF in soil but also magnetically treated normal & saline water have facilitated the growth which can be attributed to increased absorption of water and nutrients if treated magnetically.

Anti-Corrosive Potential of the Sustainable Corrosion Inhibitors Based on Biomass Waste: A Review on Preceding and Perspective Research
Authors: Thakur Abhinay , Sharma Shveta , Ganjoo Richika , Assad Humira , Kumar Ashish 
Published: June 2022

AbstractOver the past decade, green chemistry has been emphasizing the importance of environmental sustainability and human health, aiming to minimize toxins and reducing wastes in an economically beneficial manner. The field of metallic materials deterioration, generally faced by the utilization of toxic compounds, discovered a promising research field in green chemistry. The application of inhibitors is a well-known strategy when metal corrosion needs to be avoided, prevented, controlled or mitigate. Green inhibitors are readily available, biodegradable, ecologically acceptable, sustainable and renewable sources. Their esteem broadens the numerous ranges of potential applications in various sectors besides “waste to energy” in the context of a circular economy. Extensive research on various biomass wastes such as corn stalks, nutshells, straw, forestry residue and plant waste-derived inhibitors tremendously has been utilized in corrosion mitigation in different industries to sustain the environment. All the mentioned aspects are the topic of this current review, which is meant as constructive criticism to spotlight the use of biomass waste as efficient green inhibitors in order to re-evaluate their viability and debate prospective research in the field, which is still lacking justification. As a result, this article aims to solve two current problems; waste and corrosion which will benefit both the environment and industry.

Authors: Kaur Prabhpreet , Rani Suman 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
MgAl2O4 (MAO) spinel has been considered as one of the excellent optoelectronic material due to its excellent mechanical strength and transparency in visible region to IR region. Many studies reported that MAO has F centers generated due to high temperature sintering which resulted in visible emission. The aim of present study is to explore MAO sintered at high temperature for white light emission. MAO was synthesized by sol-gel method sintered at 1400°C high temperature for 4hrs. Prepared MAO was characterized by various characterization techniques; Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fluorescence spectroscopy (FS). Peak at 674cm-1 in FTIR confirmed the formation of MAO. SEM Images showed the agglomeration of particles due to high temperature sintering Emission properties of MAO was studied by Florescence spectroscopy. MAO was excited by UV light. The emission spectra showed multicolor emission in visible region due to generation of F centers in the bandgap proving MAO as excellent material for white light emission.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Terrestrial gamma radiation dose (TGRD) exposure on the earth’s surface establishes the linkages with the distribution of radionuclide elements in that particular environmental condition. The rate of variation of the terrestrial gamma radiation in the environment is directly associated with the regional geology and to the elemental concentration of these elements. In this study, Environmental TGRD rates (mSv/h) were measured over the three different geological conditions (Kamal valley, Tona valley and Yamuna valley) with the objective of establishing baseline data on the background radiation. An extensive survey of gamma-ray dose rate is conducted focusing the areas highly suitable for fractures and valley zones. The rocks types in the study regions are basically unconsolidated and moderately structured. The Gamma-ray dose rate at one (1) meter above the ground was measured at 46 points, using a pocket survey dosimeter which. The highest TGRD rate (0.27 mSv/h) is observed (with 35% estimation error) at the location of Rama site in the Kamal valley. Similarly, for Buthothra site of Tons valley it is found to be 0.21 mSv/h with estimation error 37% and at Rekhud site of Yamuna valley it is 0.19 mSv/h with estimation error 36%. The ranges of the gamma dose rate in other sites are also found under the recommended value with normal distribution.

Abstract
Radon being radioactive gas is the main source of radiation exposure in the environment. When inhaled, it may cause carcinogenic diseases due to alpha emission during the radon decay, as alpha particles may damage respiratory and alveolar epithelial cells. Thus continuous investigation of the radon level in the environment is always required. In the same, correlation between concentration of radium with radon exhalation rates in the soil samples may be very helpful to know the variation of the radon level. In present study soil samples have been collected randomly from various locations of Pangi Valley of Chamba district, Himachal Pradesh, a northern hill state of India. Radon exhalation rates in collected samples have been measured using the closed can technique in correlation to different soil parameters. Radon mass exhalation rate in soil samples have found to vary from 0.018 to 0.179 Bq kg-1 h-1 with an average value of 0.082 Bq kg-1 h-1 and area exhalation rate from 0.56 to 5.42 Bq m-2 h-1 with an average of 2.47 Bq m-2 h-1. A Mathematical model has been developed using soil parameters viz. bulk density, porosity, emanation rates, diffusion coefficients etc. and use to estimate the radon exhalation rates in soil samples. A strong positive correlation has been obtained between the theoretically estimated and experimentally measured obtained values.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Surfactants are the important class of amphiphilic species, which consists of both hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic part. They are characterized by some important properties like critical micelle concentration (CMC), charge, hydrophile-lypophile balance (HLB), aggregation, and chemical structure, which make them good emulsifying, dispersing and foaming agents. Presently, the global demand of the surfactants is on the peak due to their increased applications in detergents, paints, food emulsion, biotechnological processes, biosciences, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, etc. In order to prevent Corona pandemic disease, WHO and other regulatory authorities have recommended frequent use of soaps and sanitizers that makes surfactants an important class of species to be explored more in terms of their applications.

Sustainability of inventory models along with carbon emission for deteriorating goods
Authors: Mishra Seema 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we have been studied the carbon emission using the inventory model in the form of differential equation. Global warming is exacerbated by carbon emissions. Manufacturing companies are major emitters of CO2. The production inventory model is presented in this study when there is a carbon emission in the environment.
Carbon emission is the result of manufacturing and disposal process which is further increased due to deterioration. It is inevitable in every production and manufacturing firms are significantly contributing to carbon emissions. With the increase in strict norms from the government and also through various NGO’s, the firms are now made to follow green technology. In this work an inventory model is developed considering an investment that is done on controlling carbon emission. Demand is a variant of the selling price of the product. The model aims at maximizing the profit accrued along with minimizing the carbon emission cost.

Is It Worth Using Botulinum Toxin Injections for the Management of Mild to Moderate Blepharoptosis?
Authors: Ludwig Gustavo David , Osaki Midori Hentona , Gameiro Gustavo Rosa , Hentona Osaki Tammy 
Published: June 2022

Abstract

Background
Mild ptosis can be aesthetically displeasing for patients, especially in unilateral cases. However, some patients do not desire to undergo a surgical repair. Botulinum toxin injection might be an option in these cases.

Objectives
The authors sought to objectively examine the effects of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) injection into the orbicularis oculi muscle in the management of blepharoptosis.

Methods
In this prospective study, 8 patients with mild to moderate ptosis received application of BoNT-A in the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle. Standardized photographs were obtained at baseline and 2, 4, and 24 weeks. Digital image analysis software (Image J) was employed for objective analysis. Primary outcomes were the margin reflex distance-1 and qualitative changes on a 4-point scale.

Results
A significant increase in the margin reflex distance-1 on the treated side (baseline: 2.00 ± 1.13 mm; week 2: 2.52 ± 1.13 mm; P = 0.003) and a significant reduction (baseline: 3.23 ± 0.92 mm, week 2: 3.07 ± 0.96; P = 0.0268) on the contralateral eyelid were observed at week 2. After 24 weeks, the effect of BoNT-A diminished, and no significant difference from baseline was observed in either eyelid. Subjectively, 87.5% of patients reported improvement in their eyelid ptosis.

Conclusions
Botulinum toxin injection in the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle can be an option to temporarily manage ptosis in patients who do not desire to undergo a surgical procedure. This alternative treatment can also be employed to manage temporary ptosis induced by botulinum toxin diffusion to the levator aponeurosis.

Anti-Müllerian hormone treatment enhances oocyte quality, embryonic development and live birth rate
Authors: Sinha Niharika , Driscoll Chad S , Qi Wenjie , Huang Binbin , Roy Sambit , Knott Jason G , Wang Jianrong , Sen Aritro 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) produced by the granulosa cells of growing follicles is critical for folliculogenesis and is clinically used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of female fertility. Previous studies report that AMH-pretreatment in mice creates a pool of quiescent follicles that are released following superovulation, resulting in an increased number of ovulated oocytes. However, the quality and developmental competency of oocytes derived from AMH-induced accumulated follicles as well as the effect of AMH treatment on live birth are not known. This study reports that AMH priming positively affects oocyte maturation and early embryonic development culminating in higher number of live births. Our results show that AMH treatment results in good-quality oocytes with greater developmental competence that enhances embryonic development resulting in blastocysts with higher gene expression. The transcriptomic analysis of oocytes from AMH-primed mice compared with those of control mice reveal that AMH upregulates a large number of genes and pathways associated with oocyte quality and embryonic development. Mitochondrial function is the most affected pathway by AMH priming, which is supported by more abundant active mitochondria, mitochondrial DNA content and adenosine triphosphate levels in oocytes and embryos isolated from AMH-primed animals compared with control animals. These studies for the first time provide an insight into the overall impact of AMH on female fertility and highlight the critical knowledge necessary to develop AMH as a therapeutic option to improve female fertility.
Theatre and professional training: The Trame method
Authors: Tesauro Tiziana 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The article presents the method called Trame, a method designed for the professional training of doctors, nurses and social workers. The method makes the theoretical reflection of the pedagogical directors of the twentieth century dialogue with a more specifically pedagogical and sociological literature that distances itself from cognitive learning models and conceives learning as a situated and collective activity; it interfaces with Dewey (1961) and, at the same time, with pedagogical approaches that thematise theatre as an educational device (Massa, R. (eds.) (1992) La Clinica Della Formazione, Milano, Italy, Franco Angeli). It also focuses on the role that the body plays in learning processes. Theatre is done with the body and it is precisely starting from the centrality of the body that theatrical practices can ‘push’ training practices towards an overcoming of the mind/body dichotomy and a clearer focus on the intertwining between performance and training. In this perspective, Trame is configured as a method that aims to train the ‘knowledge of’ the body to develop self-awareness and reflexivity on one’s professional action.
Accelerating the 2+2+1 method for estimating local traveltime operators in nonlinear beamforming using GPU graphics cards
Authors: Sun Yimin , Silvestrov Ilya , Bakulin Andrey 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Local traveltime operators are an effective way to describe local kinematic wavefronts. They are useful for many applications. One of them is nonlinear beamforming for enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio of challenging seismic data. The so-called 2+2+1 method is a pragmatic approach to estimate unknown local traveltime operators from input data. However, its efficiency still has much room for improvement when the solution space is big. We accelerate the 2+2+1 method using graphics processing unit (GPU) computing with the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) programming language. We detail the CPU- and GPU-based 2+2+1 search algorithms and demonstrate the efficiency improvement using synthetic and field data examples. Compared to a standard multi-core CPU implementation, our new GPU implementation achieves almost the same quality results at only ∼10% run-time cost.
Translating Eve: Death and Female Identity in a Funerary Hymn Ascribed to Ephrem
Authors: Doerfler Maria E 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The necrosima, a collection of 85 funerary madrāshê ascribed to Ephrem the Syrian, encompasses hymns in a variety of metres, commemorating Christians of all stations and backgrounds. Scholarly interest in the necrosima peaked in the nineteenth century; in the intervening decades, the hymns have retreated into relative obscurity, a fate precipitated in part by the recognition that few appear to be of genuinely Ephremic vintage. This article participates in an effort to revive interest both in the necrosima as a corpus, and in its individual hymnic constituents—including those of uncertain provenance. To this end, it focuses on one of its most striking examples, madrāshâ 31 (In funere matrisfamilias). The latter depicts a dialogue between a deceased wife and mother and her community, wherein the former presents herself as daughter, victim, and unwitting double of Eve. The article examines the motif of Eve’s legacy in the lives of ordinary Christian women, as depicted in madrāshâ 31, in three interlocking strata: of the necrosima; of roughly contemporaneous Syriac literature; and, finally, of the madrāshâ’s putative performative context. Each stratum elucidates intertextual connections and additional layers of meaning, resulting in a more satisfyingly ‘thick’ description of the madrāshâ and its narrative.
