Chemistry

description: Neopentyl glycol (NPG) has been extensively used as solid-solid phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage applications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, spectral and thermal properties of NPG. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and treatment group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. The control and treated NPG were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. XRD study revealed the decrease in crystallite size of treated NPG by 21.97% as compared to control sample. DSC studies showed slight change in melting temperature of treated NPG as compared to control sample. TGA analysis showed 55.66% weight loss in control NPG however, the treated sample showed reduction in weight loss (44.81%). Additionally, the maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) of treated NPG (160.40°C) was minimally increased with respect to control sample (159.72°C). This can be inferred as good thermal stability of biofield treated NPG with respect to control. FT-IR spectroscopy showed no structural changes in treated NPG with respect to control sample. The overall results showed that biofield treatment has affected the physical and thermal properties of treated NPG. Moreover, good thermal stability of treated NPG showed that it could be used as phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications.

description: 2,6-Dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP) is a compound used for the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceutical agents. The present work is intended to evaluate the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on physical, thermal and spectral properties of the 2,6-DCP. The control and treated 2,6-DCP were characterized by various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and ultra violet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) analysis. The XRD results showed the increase in crystallite size of treated sample by 28.94% as compared to the control sample. However, the intensity of the XRD peaks of treated 2,6-DCP were diminished as compared to the control sample. The DTA analysis showed a slight increase in melting temperature of the treated sample. Although, the latent heat of fusion of the treated 2,6-DCP was changed substantially by 28% with respect to the control sample. The maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) of the treated 2,6-DCP was decreased slightly in comparison with the control. The FT-IR analysis showed a shift in C=C stretching peak from 1464→1473 cm-1 in the treated sample as compared to the control sample. However, the UV-vis analysis showed no changes in absorption peaks of treated 2,6-DCP with respect to the control sample. Overall, the result showed a significant effect of biofield energy treatment on the physical, thermal and spectral properties of 2,6-DCP. It is assumed that increase in crystallite size and melting temperature of the biofield energy treated 2,6-DCP could alleviate its reaction rate that might be a good prospect for the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds.

description: Augustine of Hippo, Sermon 326

[In natali martyrum

'On the birthday of the twenty Martyrs']

1. Solemnitas beatissimorum martyrum laetiorem nobis reddidit diem. Laetamur, quia de terra laboris ad regionem quietis martyres transierunt: sed hoc non saltando, sed orando; non potando, sed ieiunando; non rixando, sed tolerando meruerunt.

'The solemn feast of these most blessed martyrs has brought us a happier day than usual. What makes us happy is that the martyrs have passed over from this land of labour and toil to the territory of peace and quiet; but they earned this not by dancing but by praying; not by drinking, but by fasting; not by being quarrelsome, but by their endurance.'

In what follows Augustine tells about the martyrs' desire to be in heaven and quotes parts of a dialogue between the martyrs and the judge.

description: Quantum mechanics was developed when human energies of consciousness were found to influence observations at the scale of elementary particles, here referred as non-contact biofield treatment or biofield energies . Quantum mechanics has also proved efficacious in biological processes. The present experiments found an enhanced and significant impact of the biofield treatment on adaptive micropropagation response and callus induction of two plant species, Withania somnifera and Amaranthus dubius. The enhancement was perhaps due to greater focus on adaptation rather than specific mechanisms, showing high potential including at biochemical and genetic levels. Possible reasons for the enhancement are discussed and a possible model is presented, consistent with current scientific theory.

Summary:

Gregory suffered from a stomach ache and nothing could relieve this. On the sixth day the pain was increasing more and more, but Gregory remembered that a few years previously he had been healed from this sort of stomach ache by Martin’s power. He went to the tomb of Martin, prayed and secretly put beneath his garment a thread from the cloths hanging there (a pendentibus velis) and with it made the sign of the cross on his stomach. Immediately he was cured.

Summary:

Gregory's tongue was so swollen that often it made him stammer when he wished to speak. He went to the tomb of Martin and 'ran the swollen tongue along the wood of the railings' (per lignum cancelli linguam impeditam traxi), and at once recovered. Three days later his lip began to throb painfully. Again he went to the tomb of Martin, touched his lip to the hanging cloths (a dependentibus velis) and was cured.

description: Phenolic compounds are commonly used for diverse applications such as in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, dyes and pigments. The objective of present research was to study the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment on physical and thermal properties of phenol derivatives such as o-nitrophenol (ONP), m-nitrophenol (MNP) and p-tertiary butyl phenol (TBP). The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control and treated compounds were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and surface area analysis. XRD analysis showed increase in crystallite size by 16.05% in treated ONP as compared to control. However, the treated MNP showed decrease in crystallite size by 16.17% as compared to control. The treated TBP showed increase in crystallite size by 5.20% as compared to control. DSC of treated MNP exhibited increase in melting temperature with respect to control, which may be correlated to higher thermal stability of treated sample. However, the treated TBP exhibited no significant change in melting temperature with respect to control. TGA analysis of treated ONP and TBP showed an increase in maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) as compared to control. However, the treated MNP showed slight decrease in Tmax in comparison with control sample. Surface area analysis of treated ONP showed decrease in surface area by 65.5%. However, surface area was increased by 40.7% in treated MNP as compared to control. These results suggest that biofield treatment has significant effect on physical and thermal properties of ONP, MNP and TBP.

description: Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) has become an important nosocomial pathogens and increased resistant isolates were reported. The current study evaluates the impact of an alternate energy medicine i.e. Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on S. marcescens for changes in sensitivity pattern of antimicrobial, biochemical characteristics, and biotype number. S. marcescens cells were procured from MicroBioLogics Inc., USA in sealed pack bearing the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 13880) number and divided into two groups, Group (Gr.) I: control and Gr. II: treated. Gr. II was further subdivided into two sub-groups, Gr. IIA and Gr. IIB. Gr. IIA was analyzed on day 10, while Gr. IIB was stored and analyzed on day 159 (Study I). After retreatment on day 159, the sample (Study II) was divided into three separate tubes as first, second and third tube, which were analyzed on day 5, 10 and 15 respectively. All experimental parameters were studied using the automated MicroScan Walk-Away® system. Antimicrobial susceptibility results showed that 42.85% of tested antimicrobials results in altered sensitivity pattern, while decreased minimum inhibitory concentration values in 40.62% tested antimicrobials as compared to the control after biofield treatment on S. marcescens. The biochemical study showed that 12 out of 33 tested biochemicals (36.36%) were reported for alteration of biochemical reactions pattern as compared to the control. Biotype study showed an alteration in biotype number in all the experimental treated groups as compared to the control. These results suggested that biofield energy treatment has a significant impact on S. marcescens. Overall, it is expected that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment as an integrative medicine could be better therapy approach in near future.

description: Plants are known to have sense and can respond to touch, electric and magnetic field. The present study was designed on the sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) and bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) seeds with respect to biofield energy treatment. The seeds of each crop were divided into two groups, one was kept control, while the other group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’ biofield energy treatment. The variabilities in growth contributing parameters were studied and compared with their control. To study the genetic variability after biofield energy treatment, both the seeds were analyzed for DNA fingerprinting using RAPD method. After germination, the plants of sponge gourd were reported to have uniform colored leaves and strong stem. The leaves and fruits of sponge gourd showed no infection, with anti-gravity properties during early stage of fruiting as compared with the control group. Similarly, treated bitter gourd showed uniform color of leaves, strong stem, with disease free fruits in biofield treated seeds as compared with the control. The true polymorphism (%) observed between control and treated samples of sponge and bottle gourd seed sample was an average value of 7.8% and 66% respectively. In conclusion, Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment has the ability to alter the plant growth rate that may by interacting with plant genome, which resulted in high yield of crops.

description: 2-Aminopyridine (2-AP) and 2,6-diaminopyridine (2,6-DAP) are two derivatives of aminopyridines that act as an important organic intermediates, mostly used in medicines, dyes and organic sensors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on isotopic abundance ratios of 2H/1H, 13C/12C, or 15N/14N, in aminopyridine derivatives using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The 2-AP and 2,6-DAP samples were divided into two parts: control and treated. The control sample remained as untreated, while the treated sample was further divided into four groups as T1, T2, T3, and T4. The treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. The GC-MS spectra of 2-AP and 2,6-DAP showed five and six m/z peaks respectively due to the molecular ion peak and fragmented peaks of aminopyridine derivatives. The isotopic abundance ratio of 2H/1H, 13C/12C, or 15N/14N were calculated for both the derivatives and significant alteration was found in the treated samples as compared to the respective control. The isotopic abundance ratio of 2H/1H, 13C/12C, or 15N/14N in treated samples of 2-AP was decreased by 55.83% in T1 and significantly increased by 202.26% in T4. However, in case of 2,6-DAP, the isotopic abundance ratio of 2H/1H, 13C/12C, and 15N/14N, in the treated sample showed a significant increase (up to 370.54% in T3) with respect to the control. GC-MS data suggested that the biofield energy treatment on aminopyridine derivatives had significantly altered the isotopic abundance of 2H, 13C, or 15N in the treated 2-AP and 2,6-DAP as compared to the control.

description: The hydrolysed vegetable proteins are acidic or enzymatic hydrolytic product of proteins derived from various sources such as milk, meat or vegetables. The current study was designed to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the various physicochemical and spectra properties of Hi VegTM acid hydrolysate i.e. a hydrolysed vegetable protein. The Hi VegTM acid hydrolysate sample was divided into two parts that served as control and treated sample. The treated sample was subjected to the biofield energy treatment and its properties were analysed using particle size analyser, X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyser, UV-visible and infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results of various parameters were compared with the control (untreated) part. The XRD data showed the decrease in crystallite size of treated sample from 110.27 nm (control) to 79.26 nm. The particle size was also reduced in treated sample as 162.13 μm as compared to the control sample (168.27 μm). Moreover, the surface area analysis revealed the 63.79% increase in the surface area of the biofield treated sample as compared to the control. The UV-Vis spectra of both samples i.e. control and treated showed the absorbance at same wavelength. However, the FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the shifting in peaks corresponding to N-H, C-H, C=O, C-N, and C-S functional groups in the treated sample with respect to the control. The thermal analysis also revealed the alteration in degradation pattern along with increase in onset temperature of degradation and maximum degradation temperature in the treated sample as compared to the control. The overall data showed the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of the treated sample of Hi VegTM acid hydrolysate. The biofield treated sample might show the improved solubility, wettability and thermal stability profile as compared to the control sample.

description: Bio peptone is a combination of enzymatic digest of animal tissues and casein; and generally used for the growth of several varieties of microbes. The aim of present study was to investigate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of bio peptone. The present study was carried out in two groups i.e. control and treated. The control group was kept without treatment, while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Subsequently, both the samples were assessed using numerous analytical techniques. The X-ray diffractograms (XRD) showed the halo patterns of XRD peaks in both the samples. The particle size analysis exhibited about 4.70% and 17.58% increase in the d50 (average particle size) and d99 (particle size below which 99% particles are present), respectively of treated bio peptone as compared to the control. The surface area analysis revealed the 253.95% increase in the specific surface area of treated sample as compared to the control. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed the 29.59% increase in the melting temperature of treated bio peptone sample as compared to the control. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed the increase in onset of degradation temperature by 3.31% in the treated sample with respect to the control. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) study revealed the changes in the wavenumber of functional groups such as O-H stretching from 3066 cm-1 to 3060 cm-1; C-H stretching from 2980, 2893, and 2817 cm-1 to2970, 2881, and 2835 cm-1, respectively; N-H bending from 1589 cm-1 to 1596 cm-1; C=C stretching from 1533 cm-1 to 1525 cm-1; and P=O stretching from 1070 cm-1 to 1078 cm-1 in treated sample as compared to the control. The UV-vis spectroscopy showed the similar patterns of absorbance maxima (λmax) i.e. at 259 nm and 257 nm in both the control and treated samples, respectively. Overall, the analytical results suggested that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment has substantial effect on physicochemical and spectral properties of bio peptone. Owing to this, the treated bio peptone might be more effective as culture medium than the corresponding control.

description: The recent emergence of the Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a pandemic. For the safety concern of seafood, consumer monitoring of this organism in seafood is very much essential. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on [ATCC-17802] strain of V. parahaemolyticus for its biochemical characteristics, biotype and 16S rDNA analysis. The lyophilized strain of V. parahaemolyticus was divided into two parts, Group (Gr.) I: control and Gr. II: treated. Gr. II was further subdivided into two parts, Gr. IIA and Gr. IIB. Gr. IIA was analyzed on day 10, whereas, Gr. IIB was stored and analyzed on day 142 (Study I). After retreatment of Gr. IIB on day 142 (Study II), the sample was divided into three separate tubes. The tubes first, second and third were analyzed on day 5, 10, and 15, respectively. The biochemical reaction and biotyping were performed using automated MicroScan Walk-Away® system. The 16S rDNA sequencing was carried out to correlate the phylogenetic relationship of V. parahaemolyticus with other bacterial species after the treatment. The results of biochemical reactions were altered 24.24%, out of thirty-three in the treated groups with respect to the control. Moreover, negative (-) reaction of urea was changed to positive (+) in the revived treated Gr. IIB, Study II on day 15 as compared to the control. Besides, biotype number was substantially changed in all the treated groups as compared to the control. However, change in organisms were reported in Gr. IIA on day 10 and in Gr. IIB; Study II on day 5 as Shewanella putrefaciens and Moraxella/Psychrobacter spp., respectively with respect to the control i.e. Vibrio sp. SF. 16S rDNA analysis showed that the identified sample in this experiment was V. parahaemolyticus after biofield treatment, and the nearest homolog genus-species was observed as Vibrio natriegens with 98% gene identity. The results envisaged that the biofield energy treatment showed an alteration in biochemical reaction pattern and biotype number on the strain of V. parahaemolyticus.

description: Although MXene sheets are highly conductive, it is still challenging to prepare MXene complex functional materials for flexible electronics by simple and effective methods. In 3D printing, especially direct ink writing (DIW), different materials are used to create complex 3D shapes by formulating inks with controlled rheological properties. Herein, a printable MXene ink is developed, exhibiting good rheological properties, to print different complex shapes, and potentially manufacture electronic devices such as sensors. Then, we fabricated a highly sensitive hierarchical structure MXene composite materials composed of two layers of bionic micro-spine microstructure and network structure, formed by 3D printing and freeze casting. The obtained MXene composite materials exhibit good pressuring sensing properties with a sensitivity of 17.5 kPa−1, a fast response time (<100 ms), and excellent cycle stability exceeding 10,000 cycles. The sensing mechanism suggesting that the hierarchical structure can effectively improve the sensitivity and response time. It also has good potential application in the monitoring of human health activities, including the detection of human joint activities, walking, pressure distribution, and other sports.

description: Enteric fever is a major global problem. Emergence of antimicrobial resistance threatens to render current treatments ineffective. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on Salmonella paratyphi A (S. paratyphi A) in terms of antimicrobial susceptibility assay, biochemical characteristics and biotyping. S. paratyphi A strain were procured from MicroBioLogics in sealed packs bearing the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 9150). The study was conducted in revived and lyophilized state of S. paratyphi A. Both revived (Group; Gr. II) and lyophilized (Gr. III) strain of S. paratyphi A were subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Revived treated cells was assessed on day 5 and day 10, while lyophilized treated cells assessed on day 10 after biofield treatment with respect to control (Gr. I). The antimicrobial susceptibility of S. paratyphi A showed significant (60%) alteration in revived treated cells (Gr. II) on day 10 as compared to control. The MIC values of S. paratyphi A also showed significant (53.12%) alteration in Gr. II and on day 10 while, no alteration was found in Gr. on day 5 as compared to control. It was observed that overall 18.18% biochemical reactions were altered in the treated groups with respect to control. Moreover, biotype numbers were substantially changed in Gr. II, on day 5 (53001040, S. paratyphi A), on day 10 (57101050, Citrobacter freundii complex) as compared to control (53001000, S. paratyphi A). Besides, biotype number was also changed in Gr. III (53001040, S. paratyphi A) as compared to control. The overall result suggested that biofield treatment had significant impact on S. paratyphi A in Gr. II on day 10 with respect to antimicrobial susceptibility, MIC values and biotype number.

description: In the present study, MnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using Citrus limetta peels extract and functionalized by chitosan polymer. Surface morphology analysis of chitosan functionalized MnO2 nanoparticles was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), which revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles were spherical, with a size range of 14–24 nm. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis and elemental mapping were used to observe Mn, O, C, H, and N. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino groups on the surface of the nanoparticles. The kinetics and isotherms were compared and it was found that the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm were the best fit, with R2 values of 0.99. The thermodynamic study demonstrated that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous. These findings indicate that chitosan functionalized nanoparticles have a better Pb(II) removal efficiency (94.40%), making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for wastewater treatment.HighlightsChitosan functionalized nanoadsorbent was synthesized through green route.Sorption mechanism explored through isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic models.Synthesized adsorbent showed high Pb(II) removal capacity.

description: This work reports a green synthesis of CuO/NiO nanocomposite with different CuO/NiO ratios. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the existence of both CuO and NiO. This was also confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that changing the compositions of the nanocomposites resulted in different surface morphologies with different particle shapes, sizes, and levels of aggregation. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis showed microporous structures with pore size in the range of 1.66-1.75 nm and surface area in the range of 82-513 m2g−1. The supercapacitive activity was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD). The results display that the 1C3N exhibited the highest capacitive performance of 1072 Fg−1 compared to 760, 716, and 260 Fg−1 for 3C1N, 4 N, and 4 C, respectively. Furthermore, the 1C3N electrode shows a cyclic stability of 72% after 4000 cycles, which makes it a promising candidate for supercapacitive applications.

Anno quoque quarto decimo regis supradicti, adveniente solemnitate sancti, duodecim paralytici directi, tres caeci inluminati, quinque inergumini emundati sunt. Adfuit huic festivitati et Aridius Lemovicinae urbis abba, cui in superioribus libellis meminimus, per quem Dominus paralyticam unam, quae per octo annos carrucae superposito in atrio beati confessoris decubuerat, directis vestigiis, restauravit. Nam adserebat ipse vir Dei, sensisse se quasi beati Martini manum, cum infirmae membra, inposito signo crucis, tactu salutari palparet.

'When it was time for the saint’s festival during the fourteenth year [of the reign] of the aforementioned king [Childebert], twelve paralytics were healed, three blind men received their sight, and five possessed men were cleansed. In attendance at this festival was Abbot Aredius of Limoges, whom I have mentioned in previous books and through whom the Lord healed a paralyzed woman. For eight years this woman had been placed on a wagon; after she lay in the courtyard [of the church] of the blessed confessor, her feet were straightened and she recovered. For Aredius, the man of God, himself claimed that he had felt as it were the hand of the blessed Martin when he made the sign of the cross and stroked the limbs of the crippled woman with the healing touch.'

Florentianus, mayor of the palace, and Romulf, a count, attended the festival and were greatly impressed by Martin's glory.

description: Although MXene sheets are highly conductive, it is still challenging to prepare MXene complex functional materials for flexible electronics by simple and effective methods. In 3D printing, especially direct ink writing (DIW), different materials are used to create complex 3D shapes by formulating inks with controlled rheological properties. Herein, a printable MXene ink is developed, exhibiting good rheological properties, to print different complex shapes, and potentially manufacture electronic devices such as sensors. Then, we fabricated a highly sensitive hierarchical structure MXene composite materials composed of two layers of bionic micro-spine microstructure and network structure, formed by 3D printing and freeze casting. The obtained MXene composite materials exhibits good pressuring sensing properties with a sensitivity of 17.5 kPa−1, a fast response time (<100 ms), and excellent cycle stability exceeding 10000 cycles. The sensing mechanism suggesting that the hierarchical structure can effectively improve the sensitivity and response time. It also has good potential application in the monitoring of human health activities, including the detection of human joint activities, walking, pressure distribution and other sports.
The role of lipid-store body condition in the behaviour and conservation of sperm whales

description: Lipid store body condition influences, and is influenced by, individual fitness and behaviour. This makes it a potentially important factor in understanding the impact of disturbance and other stressors, which are of increasing conservation concern in a rapidly changing environment. However, body condition is challenging to measure in cetaceans. In Chapter 1, I review the cetacean body condition and behaviour literature, identifying key knowledge gaps and methodological limitations. The remaining chapters then aim to develop improved ways to quantify condition in large cetaceans, investigate its influence on the behaviour of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in natural and disturbed contexts, and explore the effects of condition-mediated behaviours on vital rates. These aims are pursued using agent-based modelling (Chapter 2) combined with biologging and unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry data from the Norwegian sub-arctic (Chapter 3) and Azores archipelago (Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, I develop a formal model of alternative biologically plausible relationships between individual body condition and risk tolerance and use model simulations to explore their potential effects on population consequences of disturbance. I find that such consequences may be very sensitive to condition-dependent response. In Chapter 3, I test for condition-dependent response empirically using biologging data from behavioural response studies (BRS) which exposed tagged sperm whales to naval sonar. Sperm whales in poorer condition exhibited greater reductions in foraging performance for a given sonar exposure relative to better-condition animals. In Chapter 4, I cross-validate UAV volumetrics and tag-derived tissue density as independent measures of body condition. I then extend and combine both methods to develop a novel analysis approach to estimate absolute lipid mass. These results, in combination with future work tying the observed patterns to longitudinal drivers, could help improve prediction, monitoring and forecasting of individual and population consequences of disturbance and multiple stressors.
