Abstract: The study examines the response of the Quad countries (Australia, India, Japan and the United States) to People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s predatory acquisition of foreign technologies. This article looks at PRC’s science and technology (S&T) policy and its relation to the grand strategy of attaining global superpower status. The meteoric rise of the PRC in the last four decades has amazed many. Innovation and technological advancement and their alignment with government policies are important factors in this rise. The study notes that PRC’s S&T policy involves, among others, acquiring foreign technologies through illicit means that include stealing through espionage and sophisticated cyberattacks and forcing overseas companies operating in China to share intellectual property rights with local partners. Alarmed by PRC’s predatory strategy, the Quad countries have taken steps to regulate, and in some cases prohibit, the PRC’s targeted foreign investments and coercive and opportunistic takeovers. The article argues that the Quad countries need to coordinate their efforts to effectively counter PRC’s illicit acquisition of their technologies.

Abstract: Virtual machine placement (VMP) is the process of mapping virtual machines to physical machines, which is very important for resource utilization in cloud data centres. As such, VM placement is an NP-class problem, and therefore, researchers have frequently applied meta-heuristics for this. In this study, we applied a hybrid meta-heuristic that combines ant colony optimisation (ACO) and grey wolf optimisation (GWO) to minimise resource wastage, energy consumption, and bandwidth usage. The performance study of the proposed work is conducted on variable number of virtual machines with different resource correlation coefficients. According to the observations, there is 2.85%, 7.61%, 15.78% and 19.41% improvement in power consumption, 26.44%, 57.83%, 77.90% and 83.89% improvement in resource wastage and 2.94%, 8.20%, 9.99% and 10.72% improvement in bandwidth utilisation as compared to multi-objective GA, ACO, FFD and random based algorithm respectively. To study the convergence of the proposed method, it is compared with few recent hybrid meta-heuristic algorithms, namely ACO-PSO, GA-PSO, GA-ACO and GA-GWO which exhibits that the proposed hybrid method converges faster.

Abstract: This article demonstrates how new media technologies remediate traditional cinematic modes of stardom, specifically in and through small towns in India. Through two case studies, it explores registers of stardom that have emerged through the short video sharing app TikTok – both on the platform and in its filmic renditions. The first case looks at the cinematic construct of a TikTok star, which fuels the formal and narrative force of the 2019 film Bala (dir. Amar Kaushik). Bala illustrates how cinema can self-reflexively interweave traditional tropes with new media technologies. The second case features a ‘real-life’ TikTok star and political aspirant who brings into focus the political and electoral valence of TikTok stardom in the town of Adampur, Haryana. The cinematic is central to this narrative, where cinephilic nostalgia indicates a shared cultural intimacy between the political candidate and her followers and helps further her political ambitions. While the real TikTok star, Sonali Phogat, directly addresses her constituency, lip-syncing to old movie songs in 15-second videos, her reel counterparts pay homage to their cine-ancestors, 15 seconds at a time. In a setting where ‘the star’ has traditionally been understood through the prism of cinema, this article brings to light shifting registers invoked through the platformisation of the star and the cinematic in small town India.

Abstract: Indoor air pollution particularly from biomass burning, presents a significant challenge in rural India. Despite awareness of cleaner energy sources, rural communities encounter financial and logistical barriers hindering their transition to cleaner energy. The combustion of biomass emits substantial amounts of carbonaceous aerosols (CA), including organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC), which severely impact health and contribute to climate change. This study is aimed at applying certain behavioural changes in cooking practices, termed here as ‘Soft Approaches,’ to mitigate indoor air pollution. Soft approaches involve minor adjustments in daily practices to promote sustainability. Conducted over a year at three sites in Punjab (Phullanwal) and Madhya Pradesh (Budhwada and Khedla), the study assessed CA concentrations in rural household kitchens. Outdoor CA concentrations were also measured in order to examine the indoor and outdoor differences in CA levels. Mostly, OC and EC concentrations peaked during the winter season, with outdoor levels consistently lower than indoor ones. The implementation of soft approaches such as using table fans for smoke dispersion, employing dried biomass, enhancing ventilation, utilizing biomass in pellet form resulted in reductions of up to 87.1% and 83.6% in indoor OC and EC concentrations, respectively. Questionnaire analysis indicated that the community recognized the benefits of cleaner fuels and soft approaches, despite challenges related to availability and economic feasibility. The adoption of soft approaches offers broader benefits by enhancing adaptive capabilities, fostering resilience to environmental challenges for individuals and the nation as a whole.

Title: <i>Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh</i> (1954): A Curious Case of the First Biopic on the Indian Revolutionary Martyr

Abstract: Immediately after India’s independence, the Indian revolutionary martyr Bhagat Singh became the focus of several competing biopic projects. A censorship controversy erupted around the making of the now-lost film filmindia (1954), the first biopic on the martyr. It became a contentious site where the interests of the filmmakers, former revolutionary colleagues of Bhagat Singh and his family members, and various other stakeholders like public representatives, intersected with an almost disinterested state. Following Debashree Mukherjee’s (2019) methodological approach of considering film censorship ‘as a productive material site for the study of lost films’, this article enters into a microhistory of this controversy by utilising bureaucratic paperwork and filmic and nonfilmic paratextual material to compensate for the absent film element. By tracing the very first attempts which were made to mount a biopic on Bhagat Singh, I try to investigate personal and political motivations behind the race to make the first biopic on the revolutionary martyr. For this purpose, I employ Chris Moffat’s (2019) mobilisation of the metaphors of corpse, corpus and corps, which he productively uses to understand the politics behind the multifarious afterlives of Bhagat Singh and wrangle over his revolutionary inheritance in the post-colonial period, and make a case for the importance of the study of Bhagat Singh’s hitherto neglected biopics by arguing that the time of their making, their production contexts and attendant controversies afford us unique insights into what Moffat terms the politics of ‘India’s revolutionary inheritance’.

Abstract: Israel Studies in India faces five specific challenges. The presence of a small Jewish population and weaker Zionist sentiments; the absence of Judeo-Christian tradition and unfamiliarity with Jewish historical affinity with the holy land; viewing Israel and its claims through the Islamic prism due to the presence of a large Muslim population; the ideological baggage of framing of Arab-Israeli conflict through the “progressive lens” and the resultant anti-Israeli narrative among the elite; and the limited utility of historical guilt due to the absence of any role or association with the Holocaust or anti-Semitism. Moreover, the four decades of a recognition-without-relations policy of the Indian government has impeded a balanced understanding of Israel and its dilemma vis-& agrave;-vis the outside world. Hence, Israel Studies in India demand a different, innovative, and non-Western approach.

Abstract: Improving the tribal community’s livelihood security is a top priority for the Indian government. This study measured the livelihood security among the tribal community of 19 C.D. blocks (C.D. blocks represent the community development blocks in West Bengal of India. In West Bengal C.D. blocks are the sub district level unit.) in the Sundarban Delta, a backward region in southeast India. No such studies consider the whole tribal community in this fragile ecosystem and deal with their livelihood sustainability. However, none of the studies addressed the integrated agricultural system (crop, fishery and livestock) and measured this region’s sustainable agriculture livelihood security index among the tribal community. The sustainable agriculture livelihood security index (SALSI) is a function of three component indicators, i.e. ecological security index (ESI), social equity index (SEI) and economic efficiency index (EEI). This study has taken 27 indicators related to three components of sustainable agriculture livelihood security index. One-way ANOVA has been used to find the responsible factors present for spatially heterogeneous components of the SALSI. A cross-sectional mixed-method approach was adopted to conduct the study. Interblock spatial variation has been observed in the three aspects of the SALSI. Namkhana (0.57) ranked highest in SALSI, while Kultali (0.35) ranked last. In the case of sub-components, ESI was stronger indices compared to the other two indices, EEI and SEI. Kultali, Jaynagar – II, Canning – I, Basanti, and Sandeshkhali – II blocks had a very low level of sustainability. But, it was highly sustainable in Sagar, Namkhana, and Patharpratima. Results suggested that region-centric, systematic, and proactive approaches are required for sustainable development among the tribal community in this region. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers and relevant stakeholders to facilitate the transformation of C.D. blocks with very low and low sustainability levels. By implementing appropriate policies that address these factors, there is an opportunity to elevate these C.D. blocks to achieve moderate and high levels of agricultural sustainability. This approach is transferable and can be implemented across different scales, not only in other regions within India but also in various developing nations.

Abstract: This study examines the long-term relationship between plastic pollution and economic growth in Japan, using time series data from 1985 to 2021. This study also examines the role of institutions, especially the Japanese informal/social and cultural values, in balancing plastic pollution/waste caused by the country’s rapid economic expansion. The regression results demonstrated that an increase in plastic output/waste in the short-run is related to an increase in GDP per capita, manufacturing sector share of GDP, and population size. However, the quadratic component of lagged GDP per capita is found to be negatively correlated with increased plastic production, providing statistical support for the presence of an inverted U-shaped EKC. Though R&D spending increased plastic waste discharge in the short run, it has since reversed in the long run. Despite its high plastic production and consumption, Japan has become one of the most efficient plastic waste management nations due to its unique socio-cultural habits, which deserves to be replicated worldwide.

Abstract: Urban agriculture is common in fertile river floodplains of many developing countries. However, there is a risk of contamination in highly polluted regions. This study quantifies health risks associated with the consumption of vegetables grown in the floodplain of the urban river ‘Yamuna’ in the highly polluted yet data-scarce megacity Delhi, India. Six trace elements are analyzed in five kinds of vegetable samples. Soil samples from the cultivation area are also analyzed for elemental contamination. Ni, Mn, and Co are observed to be higher in leafy vegetables than others. Fruit and inflorescence vegetables are found to have higher concentrations of Cr, Pb, and Zn as compared to root vegetables. Transfer Factor indicates that Cr and Co have the highest and least mobility, respectively. Vegetable Pollution Index indicates that contamination levels follow as Cr > Ni > Pb > Zn. Higher Metal Pollution Index of leafy and inflorescence vegetables than root and fruit vegetables indicate that atmospheric deposition is the predominant source. Principal Component Analysis indicates that Pb and Cr have similar sources and patterns in accumulation. Among the analyzed vegetables, radish may pose a non-carcinogenic risk to the age group of 1-5 year. Carcinogenic risk is found to be potentially high due to Ni and Cr accumulation. Consumption of leafy vegetables was found to have relatively less risk than other vegetables due to lower Cr accumulation. Remediation of Cr and Ni in floodplain soil and regular monitoring of elemental contamination is a priority.

Abstract: Non-marine sulphate (SO42-) has a significant influence on the pH of rainwater. This study reports the wet deposition of major ions at three sites having different land use and land cover (LULC) characteristics in Haryana state, located in the agriculturally dominated northwestern part of India. The sites Hisar (urban), Bahadurgarh (industrial), and Meham (semi-urban) had an average pH of rainwater of 5.94, 6.32, and 6.38, respectively. The sum of ionic constituents (i.e., Na+, NH4+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, F-, Cl-, NO3-, and SO42-) was found higher at the industrial site (309.9 mu eq L-1) as compared to the urban (225.6 mu eq L-1) and semi-urban (255.7 mu eq L-1) sites with dominant contribution of NH4+ ions. Calculation of ratios of major ions to Na+ to compare the standard Na+ ratios of seawater at all the sites indicated a significant influence of non-marine sources. Source apportionment was carried out using principal component analysis (PCA) which indicated that anthropogenic activities such as coal combustion or industrial emissions were the key sources at the industrial and urban sites. Fertilizer application and its volatilization was observed as a potential source of NH3 at the semi-urban site which is expected due to prominent agricultural activities. Ca2+ and SO42- both were associated significantly with non-marine sources at all three sites. The non-marine fraction was further differentiated into anthropogenic and crustal-associated portions using soil Ca2+ ratios. The anthropogenic/crustal ratios of nss-SO42- were calculated as 0.41, 0.32, and 0.28 at urban, industrial, and semi-urban sites respectively. These ratios were inversely with pH explaining low pH at higher anthropogenic/crustal ratios. This approach of calculation of non-marine crustal associated and anthropogenic SO42- is very important to assess acidification prospects in the region.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to utilize numerical modeling techniques to forecast the performance of a novel metal matrix composite and speed up the experimental testing process by reproducing the unique features observed at the micro-scale of the composite material. The matrix material chosen for this study was aluminum P0507 alloy, with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and rice husk ash (RHA) selected as the reinforcements. The reinforcement loading was varied from 1 to 9 vol.%. The representative volume element model in corroboration with the DIGIMAT-FE software was utilized to model, simulate and assess the performance of these composites across different volume fractions and orientations. Both the modulus, elastic and shear, increased monotonously with increase in the CNT and RHA content, whereas the Poisson’s ratio decreased with increase in the reinforcement loading; the changes being more evident in CNT-reinforced composites. On one hand, highest value of E-1 was found in case of aligned inclusions, on the other hand, the highest value of E-2 and E-3 was found for composites containing 2D random orientation type inclusions. As far as shear moduli are concerned, the highest value of G(12) was found for 2D random orientation type, and the highest value of G(23) and G(13) was found in case of 3D random type orientation. The elastic moduli and shear moduli followed the following trend: E-1 > E-2 > E-3 and G(12) > G(13) > G(23). The values of elastic as well as shear moduli for hybrid composite, Al-9 vol.% (CNT + RHA), were found to be higher than that of Al-9 vol.% RHA. For instance, the value of 2D-oriented E-1 increased from 77.15 to 78.40 GPa, and the value of aligned G(13) enhanced from 29.17 to 29.45 GPa. Therefore, it can be concluded that hybrid composites give luxury to fabricate components with tailored properties at a lower cost.

Abstract: In the pursuit of cost-effective and superior enzymes crucial for the efficient hydrolysis of diverse lignocellulosic biomasses, filamentous fungi have emerged as key candidates for bioprospecting endeavors. In our exploration for potent lignocellulosic biomass degraders, we have identified a strain of Penicillium fuscoglaucum JAM-1, showcasing multipurpose hydrolase capabilities in its secretome. During fermentation, P. fuscoglaucum JAM-1 effectively utilized rapeseed cake (RSC), resulting in improved enzymatic activities, including xylanase (612 U/gds), beta-glucosidase (264 U/gds), endoglucanase (102 U/gds), FPase (21.3 U/gds), and exo-polygalacturonase (49.17 U/gds), as compared to pine sawdust (PSD). Secretome profiling revealed a protein abundance totaling 435 and 120 proteins during RSC and PSD utilization, respectively. The major component of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) consists of cellulose-degrading proteins, including endoglucanases (GH5, GH7), beta-glucosidases (GH1, GH3, GH17), and cellobiohydrolases (GH6, GH7). Correspondingly, hemicellulose-degrading enzymes were present, encompassing endo-1,4-xylanase (GH10), alpha/beta-galactosidase (GH27, GH35, GH36), alpha/beta-mannosidases (GH38, GH2, GH47, GH5), and alpha-l-arabinofuranosidase (GH43, GH62, GH51, GH54) and carbohydrate-active auxiliary activities enzymes, such as AA9 (formerly known as GH61) lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO). Upon application to fruit waste, the crude enzyme demonstrated higher saccharification potential compared to commercial cellulase (Cellic CTec2). Specifically, the crude enzyme yielded 565 mg/g of reducing sugar within 72 h, outperforming Cellic CTec2, which yielded 352 mg/g under identical conditions. A comprehensive comparative analysis of enzyme workings, activities, and secretome profiling underscores P. fuscoglaucum JAM-1 as a potent cellulase producer, showcasing its potential to boost lignocellulose biodegradation. These findings highlight the practical applications of the P. fuscoglaucum JAM-1 in various industrial processes, suggesting its role as a valuable candidate for further exploration and exploitation in biotechnological applications.

Abstract: Cotton is the major natural fiber-producing crop, contributing significantly to the global textile economy. However, the cotton crop encounters several biotic and abiotic stress challenges globally, causing substantial annual yield loss. Plant responses to such diverse stress conditions involve intricate molecular and physiological modifications at the cellular level. Here, we employed a genomics approach to illustrate comprehensive spatial transcriptomic profiles in response to various insect infestations, including aphids (Aphis gossypii), cotton boll weevils (Anthonomus grandis), cotton bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera), whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci), and drought stress. Comparative temporal expression analysis with a strict log-fold change threshold (> 2.0) revealed distinct gene expression patterns in different tissues of cotton plants, with selected pivotal ‘stress-general’ and ‘stress-specific’ genes involved in plant defense mechanisms against various infestations and drought conditions. The expression of at least 5 insect-general transcription factor-encoding genes, WRKY28, WRKY40, WRKY53, ERF4, and ERF5, was highly upregulated across cotton leaf tissues infested by aphids, cotton bollworms, and whiteflies. Additionally, a set of highly upregulated ‘stress-specific’ genes, including GH3.1, ACS1, CYP74A, TIFY10A, BHLH25, ABR1, and ERF025, were identified especially after a 6-h period of cotton bollworm infestation. Similarly, various sets of such ‘stress-specific’ spatially upregulated genes were identified across diverse insect infestations. Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes revealed the upregulation of various defense-related functions such as stress hormone signal transduction, MAPK signaling pathway, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, orchestrating the plant’s defense mechanisms. Further, spatiotemporal expression analysis of ‘stress-general’ genes in response to abiotic stresses revealed that GhWRKY28 was highly upregulated in response to both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The findings suggested that the identified ‘stress-general’ genes could serve as suitable candidates for manipulating crops for multiple stress resistance/tolerance.

Abstract: Debye relaxation is a simple and unique physical mechanism by which a macroscopic orientational polarization decays monoexponentially with time. However, the very existence of the Debye process in complex systems such as water, aqueous solutions, and monohydroxyl alcohols, among others, is puzzling to date and their microscopic origin is still ambiguously explained. In order to shed light on some of these aspects, orientational dynamics of an orientationally disordered dipolar crystal with an identically structured nonpolar matrix has been studied in the form of solid solutions. A crossover from non-Debye to Debye-type spectral behavior has been observed with increasing concentration of the nonpolar matrix in the solid solutions. Analysis of the dynamic response shows that the evolution of cooperativity and spatial heterogeneity with concentration of nonpolar matrix is responsible for the observed trends. The results not only authenticate a possible mechanism of the Debye process as originating from localized orientational fluctuations due to molecular dipoles but also shed light on the evolution of non-Debye characteristics in these systems.

Abstract: Jasmonates (JAs) are well documented for their role in plant defense and growth regulation. Cellular transport of JAs during their biosynthesis and signaling constitutes an important layer of their functional regulation. However, most of the information about JAs transport has been gathered in recent years. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of intracellular transport of JAs in plants is of great importance to comprehend their function. In addition, in recent years, JAs have emerged as key regulators of nutrient deficiency response in plants. Under nutrient deficiency, plants show unique adaptive responses, including altered root growth, remodeling of root system architecture (RSA), triggering nutrient uptake-related genes, and activation of nutrient transporters. JAs have been found to regulate these responses in relation to the variable availability of macro- and micronutrients. Evidence indicates that in response to deficiencies of macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K+), the JA biosynthesis pathway is modulated, leading to higher JA accumulation. Furthermore, the JA-signaling pathway has been shown to regulate nutrient deficiency-related transcription factors, transporters, and RSA for optimum plant development. In this review, recent developments and updates on molecular mechanisms of cellular transport of JAs during JA biosynthesis and signaling are presented. In addition, new insights on involvement of JAs in nutrient uptake, homeostasis, deficiency response, and plant development have been provided.

Abstract: Meristem activity is important for normal plant growth as well as adaptive plastic development under abiotic stresses. Cytokinin has been recognized to have a major role in regulating meristem function which is controlled by cytokinin activating enzymes by fine-tuning the concentrations and spatial distribution of its bioactive forms. It was previously reported that LONELY GUY (LOG) acts in the direct activation pathway of cytokinin in rice shoot meristems. LOG has a cytokinin specific phosphoribohydrolase activity, which transforms inactive cytokinin nucleotides into active free bases. Here, we explored the role of OsLOG in controlling meristem activity mediated by cytokinin and its effects on growth, development, and stress resilience of rice plants. Overexpression of OsLOG in rice led to significant alterations in cytokinin levels in the inflorescence meristem, leading to enhanced plant growth, biomass and grain yield under both non-stress as well as stress conditions such as drought and salinity. Moreover, our study provides insight into how overexpression of OsLOG improves the ability of plants to withstand stress. The OsLOG-overexpressing lines exhibit reduced accumulation of H2O2 along with elevated antioxidant enzyme activities, thereby maintaining better redox homeostasis under stress conditions. This ultimately reduces the negative impact of stresses on grain yield and improves harvest index, as evidenced by observations in the OsLOG-overexpressing lines. In summary, our study emphasizes the diverse role of OsLOG, not only in regulating plant growth and yield via cytokinin but also in enhancing adaptability to abiotic stresses. This highlights its potential to improve crop yield and promote sustainable agriculture.

Abstract: The BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) domain, an evolutionarily conserved structural motif, is ubiquitous in a multitude of proteins spanning prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), BRCT domain plays a pivotal role in the catalytic activity of the NAD+-dependent DNA ligase (LigA). LigA is pivotal in DNA replication, catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds in Okazaki fragments and repairing single-strand breaks in damaged DNA, essential for the survival of Mtb. Structural and functional aspects of LigA unveil its character as a highly modular protein, undergoing substantial conformational changes during its catalytic cycle. Although the BRCT domain of Mtb LigA plays an essential role in DNA binding and protein-protein interactions, the precise mechanism of action remains poorly understood. Unravelling the structure of the BRCT domain holds the promise of advancing our understanding of this pivotal domain. Additionally, it will facilitate further exploration of the protein-protein interactions and enhance our understanding of inter domain interactions within LigA, specifically between BRCT and the Adenylation domain. In this study, we demonstrate the overexpression of the BRCT domain of Mtb LigA and conduct its analysis using solution NMR spectroscopy, revealing a well-folded structure and we present the nearly complete chemical shift assignments of both backbone and sidechains. In addition, a secondary structure prediction by TALOS N predicts BRCT consisting of 3 alpha-helices and 4 beta-sheets, closely resembling the typical structural topology of most BRCT domains.

Abstract: Preserving the genomic integrity stands a fundamental necessity, primarily achieved by the DNA repair proteins through their continuous patrolling on the DNA in search of lesions. However, comprehending how even a single base-pair lesion can be swiftly and specifically recognized amidst millions of base-pair sites remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we employ extensive molecular dynamics simulations using an appropriately tuned model of both protein and DNA to probe the underlying molecular principles. Our findings reveal that the dynamics of a non-canonical base generate an entropic signal that guides the one-dimensional search of a repair protein, thereby facilitating the recognition of the lesion site. The width of the funnel perfectly aligns with the one-dimensional diffusion length of DNAbinding proteins. The generic mechanism provides a physical basis for rapid recognition and specificity of DNA damage sensing and recognition.

Abstract: Recently observed skyrmionic, bubble, stripelike spin textures, along with multiple possible magnetic and related electrical phases, have renewed interest in doped rare-earth perovskite material, lanthanum strontium manganite La 1 – x Sr x MnO 3 (LSMO). Microscopic mechanisms that lead to exotic spin dynamics, spin structures, and electrical transport of LSMO over the varied temperature range are still not well understood. In the present study, temperature -dependent micro -Raman spectroscopic measurements indicate the intriguing trend of the evolution of spin -phonon and electron -phonon couplings with temperature across multiple magnetic and electrical phases in LSMO ( x = 0 . 125, 0.175) having orthorhombic and rhombohedral phases. Electrical transport and magnetization studies revealed a metal -insulator phase transition in LSMO-0.125, whereas the system remains in the metallic phase in LSMO-0.175 over the low -temperature ferromagnetically ordered state. The observed anomalous Raman spectral shifts across magnetic phase transition temperatures relate to the complex nature of the coupling between spin and phonon dynamics in these compounds. Especially, the systematic modulation in the change in Raman shift with temperature in the ferromagnetic metallic phase, over which these materials are expected to exhibit nearly zero -field stripe spin structure, is noteworthy. The onset of such a trend is observed just above the paramagnetic -to -ferromagnetic phase transition temperature in LSMO-0.125. The unusual variation of Raman spectral linewidth at the crossover between the insulating and metallic ferromagnetic phase in LSMO-0.125 indicates an intertwined electron density of states near Fermi energy and phonon dynamics at this juncture. To this end, we report the expected signature of the existence of orbital polaron in the ferromagnetic insulating phase of LSMO-0.125 by studying the detailed spectral profiles of high wave -number Raman modes under different excitation wavelengths and varying temperatures. Combined manifold spin -phonon coupling schemes and the existence of orbital polaron in the ferromagnetic insulating phase, as could be qualitatively deliberated from Raman measurements, offer a crucial ingredient for a better understanding of microscopic mechanisms for the formation of exotic phases and various spin textures in LSMO.

Abstract: Supercapacitors have drawn a lot of interest as energy storage devices because of their high-power density, quick charge/discharge rates, and long cycle life. However, the creation of cutting-edge electrode materials is essential in order to further improve their performance. Nanostructures made of graphene-based conducting polymers have shown promise because they combine the special qualities of both graphene and conducting polymers. In the present research, we synthesized the composites of reduced graphene oxide and polypyrrole conducting polymer by in situ chemical polymerization by varying their mass ratio. The fabricated samples were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, XRD, and cyclic voltammetry for further analyses for these nanostructures’ potential application in energy storage devices. Composite fabrication was verified through FTIR and Raman spectroscopy by confirming distinct peaks. TEM studies confirmed the presence of thin and randomly aggregated graphene oxide nanoparticles. XPS survey spectra identified carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, with major peaks at 284 eV, 399 eV, and 531 eV, reflecting variations in C, N, and O. Cyclic voltammetry determined specific capacitance values of 4.66 F/g and 6.11 F/g for different mass ratios of polypyrrole and reduced graphene oxide.

Abstract: In the present investigation, sputtering growth of 100 nm thick Co40Fe40B20 (CoFeB) film has been investigated in a low temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 400 degrees C on silicon (Si), silicon dioxide (Si/SiO2), and sapphire (Al2O3) substrates. The film surface morphology, static and dynamic magnetization were measured as a function of growth temperature and substrate. The grown films were further tested as a potential material for microwave device functionality in terms of filter and phase shifter. Surface roughness was lowest for the film grown on Si/SiO2 substrate at 200 degrees C (0.39 nm) measured from atomic force microscopy. Static magnetic properties measured by tracing magnetic hysteresis loop suggest a soft magnetic behaviour with in-plane magnetic anisotropy. Film saturation magnetization increases with the increase in growth temperature up to 200 degrees C and then decreases from 200 degrees C to 400 degrees C. This suggest that the sputtering growth from room temperature to 200 degrees C offer a moderate to low interfacial stress resulting in low defects density. Gilbert damping constant (alpha eff) of the thin film is obtained from the ferromagnetic resonance measurements in a broad band of microwave frequencies. Damping was lowest (5.4×10- 3) in the film grown at 200 degrees C on the Si/SiO2 substrate which correlates with the roughness and magnetization data. A low value of alpha eff is desirable for a material to be used in energy efficient spintronics and magnonic applications. The CoFeB films were also utilized in prototype microwave band-stop filter and phase shifter device applications. The filter has been tested in the frequency range from 6GHz to 25GHz with an applied magnetic bias up to 4.0 kOe. The frequency tunability with respect to the applied magnetic bias measured to be around 3.64 GHz/kOe. The maximum attenuation of -4dB was observed for the film grown on Si/SiO2 substrate at 200 degrees C. Whereas, phase shifter fabricated on Si/SiO2/CoFeB film grown at 200 degrees C shows a differential phase shift up to 75 degrees/cm. These results indicates that the CoFeB film deposited at low growth temperature can be a potential material in spintronics and CMOS applications where low temperatures are required for device fabrications.

Abstract: A catalyst free ultrasound-assisted regio-/stereoselective modular approach was accomplished for the synthesis of highly constrained indenoquinoxaline engrafted spiro pyrrolidines from easily available substrates. This one-pot strategy utilizes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition from a four component reaction of ninhydrin, 1,2-phenylenediamine, beta-nitrostyrene and benzylamine or amino acids under ultrasound irradiation. The transformation is mild and operationally simple, providing architecturally complex fused spiro polycyclic heterocycles. This synthesis was confined to follow the group-assistant-purification (GAP) chemistry process, which can avoid chromatographic purifications and use of catalysts and allows easy access to a novel class of spiro engrafted polyheterocyclic scaffolds, which may be beneficial in biomedical research/materials science in the near future. This opens an era for the formation of a single exo product, when compared with reported protocols, by merely switching over reaction conditions to US irradiation.
We have demonstrated a catalyst free ultrasound-assisted multicomponent synthesis of highly regio and stereoselective spiropyrrolidines containing the indenoquinoxaline moiety via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition strategy.

Abstract: Amoebiasis, a widespread disease caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, poses challenges due to the adverse effects of existing antiamoebic drugs and rising drug resistance. Novel targeted drugs are in need of the hour to combat the prevalence of this disease. Given the significance of cysteine for Entamoeba survival, the rate-determining step in the serine (the sole substrate of cysteine synthesis) biosynthetic pathway, i.e., the conversion of 3-phosphoserine to l-serine catalyzed by phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP), emerges as a promising drug target. Our previous study unveils the essential role of EhPSP in amoebas’ survival, particularly under oxidative stress, by increasing cysteine production. The study also revealed that EhPSP differs significantly from its human counterpart, both structurally and biochemically, highlighting its potential as a viable target for developing new antiamoebic drugs. In the present study, employing in silico screening of vast natural and synthetic small chemical compound libraries, we identified 21 potential EhPSP inhibitor molecules. Out of the 21 compounds examined, only five could inhibit the catalytic activity of EhPSP. The inhibition capability of these five compounds was subsequently validated by in silico binding free energy calculations, SPR-based real-time binding studies, and molecular simulations to assess the stability of the EhPSP-inhibitor complexes. By identifying the five potential inhibitors that can target cysteine synthesis via EhPSP, our findings establish EhPSP as a drug candidate that can serve as a foundation for antiamoebic drug research.

Abstract: Drought stress (DS) is one of the major constraints limiting yield in crop plants including rice. Gene regulation under DS is largely governed by accessibility of the transcription factors (TFs) to their cognate cis-regulatory elements (CREs). In this study, we used DNase I hypersensitive assays followed by sequencing to identify the accessible chromatin regions under DS in a drought-sensitive (IR64) and a drought-tolerant (N22) rice cultivar. Our results indicated that DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) were highly enriched at transcription start sites (TSSs) and numerous DHSs were detected in the promoter regions. DHSs were concurrent with epigenetic marks and the genes harboring DHSs in their TSS and promoter regions were highly expressed. In addition, DS induced changes in DHSs (triangle DHSs) in TSS and promoter regions were positively correlated with upregulation of several genes involved in drought/abiotic stress response, those encoding TFs and located within drought-associated quantitative trait loci, much preferentially in the drought-tolerant cultivar. The CREs representing the binding sites of TFs involved in DS response were detected within the triangle DHSs, suggesting differential accessibility of TFs to their cognate sites under DS in different rice cultivars, which may be further deployed for enhancing drought tolerance in rice.

Abstract: Microbial lipids are feasible alternatives to vegetable oils and fats in the production of biodiesel and other industrially significant compounds. To achieve the main goals of the circular economy, waste materials go under microbiological processes, it reduces wastes through recycling. To show the effectiveness of the suggested strategy, four fungi, and four oleaginous yeasts were used in the present investigation. Along with this, distilled biomasses from different aromatic crops (lemongrass, mentha, citronella, geranium, ocimum, palmarosa) were used for microbial growth and lipid production. The distillation process acts as a pretreatment step for the fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass. The heat results in the breakdown of some bonds to easily release monomers and increase the available surface for the action of hydrolytic enzymes produced by fermenting microbes to release monomers which may be used further for lipid production. The lipid content obtained by Trichoderma harzianum, Rhodotorula glutinosa, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Aspergillus awamori, and Fusarium solani under optimized growth conditions were found significant in comparison to other strains, control 1 and 2. Lemongrass, citronella, ocimum, and palmarosa showed a promising lipid accumulation in comparison to other distilled biomasses. The major fatty acids produced by Rhodotorula glutinosa, R. mucilaginosa, Trichosporon cutaneous, Aspergillus awamori and Trichoderma harzianum were oleic, linoleic, linolenic and lignoceric acid from after distilled biomass of mentha, citronella and ocimum. Principal component analysis was performed to observe the variability within the dataset and provide evidence that the results are matching with the observations. Scanning electron microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy were also performed to confirm the lipid production by R. mucilaginosa and Aspergillus awamori . The oil obtained from R. mucilaginosa was further transesterified and assessed for their physical properties as biodiesel. It is found suitable to be used as bio-based fuel with the EN 14214 as well as ASTM D6751 standards. As a result, the distilled biomasses will provide a lowcost alternative for yeast growth that leads to accumulation of lipids and subsequently biodiesel generation. In order to integrate biotechnological processes in a circular economy challenge, this study offers convincing evidence that the valorization of distilled biomasses to lipid production using oleaginous yeasts is promising.

Abstract: Surgery exposes tumor tissue to severe hypoxia and mechanical stress leading to rapid gene expression changes in the tumor and its microenvironment, which remain poorly characterized. We biopsied tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with breast (n = 81) and head/neck squamous cancers (HNSC; n = 10) at the beginning (A), during (B), and end of surgery (C). Tumor/normal RNA from 46/81 patients with breast cancer was subjected to mRNA-Seq using Illumina short-read technology, and from nine patients with HNSC to whole-transcriptome microarray with Illumina BeadArray. Pathways and genes involved in 7 of 10 known cancer hallmarks, namely, tumor-promoting inflammation (TNF-A, NFK-B, IL18 pathways), activation of invasion and migration (various extracellular matrix-related pathways, cell migration), sustained proliferative signaling (K-Ras Signaling), evasion of growth suppressors (P53 signaling, regulation of cell death), deregulating cellular energetics (response to lipid, secreted factors, and adipogenesis), inducing angiogenesis (hypoxia signaling, myogenesis), and avoiding immune destruction (CTLA4 and PDL1) were significantly deregulated during surgical resection (time points A vs. B vs. C). These findings were validated using NanoString assays in independent pre/intra/post-operative breast cancer samples from 48 patients. In a comparison of gene expression data from biopsy (analogous to time point A) with surgical resection samples (analogous to time point C) from The Cancer Genome Atlas study, the top deregulated genes were the same as identified in our analysis, in five of the seven studied cancer types. This study suggests that surgical extirpation deregulates the hallmarks of cancer in primary tumors and adjacent normal tissue across different cancers.Implications: Surgery deregulates hallmarks of cancer in human tissue.

Abstract: Pyrochlore ceramics with chemical formula A(2)B(2)O(7) (A= rare earth, B= tetravalent metal) have extremely low thermal conductivities (kappa) and are thought to be promising candidates for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applications. This study reports kappa for nanocrystalline (nc) Gd2Ti2O7 pyrochlore fabricated by spark plasma sintering followed by sintering at different temperatures to better understand their thermal properties. The structural analysis confirmed the synthesis of single-phase nc-Gd2Ti2O7 pyrochlore. The thermal conductivity investigations displayed a systematic decrease in thermal conductivity from 1.6 Wm(-1)K(-1) to 0.6 Wm(-1)K(-1) for the sample sintered at a lower temperature due to high porosity. The value of the kappa is found to decrease sublinearly (kappa proportional to T-alpha, where 0 < alpha < 1) with temperature for all the nc-Gd2Ti2O7 pyrochlore samples. DFT- GGA calculation exhibits that the nc-Gd2Ti2O7 is a direct band gap at the Gamma point of the Brillouin zone, and its value is increased with the sintering temperature. In addition, the effect of sintering temperature on the specific heat capacity (C-p) is insignificant in nc-Gd2Ti2O7 structures, as confirmed by the quasi-harmonic approximation. Theoretical and experimentally determined results are in good agreement, and values are compatible with the thermal insulation requirements for various applications.

Abstract: Effective charge separation and use of hot charge carriers are considered to be the most essential factors affecting the activity of an excellent energy harvester. Herein, we have successfully decorated 3 nm of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using solvothermal method. Formation of CdSe-rGO nanocomposite (NC) has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern, transmission electron microscopy and Raman analysis. Further, the emission spectrum of CdSe-rGO NC shows quenching of emission of CdSe QDs on the surface of rGO nanosheet. To elucidate this phenomenon, we have carried out time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) measurements, which reveal efficient electron transfer, as the exciton lifetime of CdSe QDs in the NC is significantly reduced compared to bare CdSe QDs. Owing to the efficient electron transfer, this NC showed big boost in total shielding effectiveness (SET = 29 dB) when compared to graphene (SET = 23 dB) in electromagnetic interference shielding application.

Abstract: Influence of structure and microstructure on the dielectric properties of single-phase solid solution of ZrO2-CeO2 system with 80% CeO2 has been investigated. Highly dense polycrystalline Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 ceramic was synthesized through solid-state reaction route, and its cubic structure was verified through X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The compact grain morphology was validated through FESEM with grain size of similar to 9 mu m. Dielectric properties of the Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 were probed by applying ac electric field of different frequencies at variable temperatures. The measured dielectric constant of Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 in the presence of applied ac field of 2 kHz frequency at 300 K is similar to 1819, is reduced to 27 with an increase in the frequency up to 2 MHz, which is a comparatively high dielectric constant than binary oxides. The high packing fraction of cubic structure of ZrO2-CeO2 with 80% CeO2 showed a small dielectric loss (tan delta). The interfacial polarization effect was confirmed by low-frequency dielectric dispersion in epsilon ” and epsilon r. The large conductivity coupled with a relaxation phenomenon at higher temperatures is attributed to the shift from extended hopping to localized ionic transport. Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 showed a negative coefficient of resistance validated through increasing ac conductivity with temperature. A high dielectric constant with small dielectric tangent loss achieved in cubic structured sample established its application in high-performance metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices along with the formation of advanced solid-electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells.

Abstract: Surgery exposes tumor tissue to severe hypoxia and mechanical stress leading to rapid gene expression changes in the tumor and its microenvironment, which remain poorly characterized. We biopsied tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with breast (n = 81) and head/neck squamous cancers (HNSC; n = 10) at the beginning (A), during (B), and end of surgery (C). Tumor/normal RNA from 46/81 patients with breast cancer was subjected to mRNA-Seq using Illumina short-read technology, and from nine patients with HNSC to whole-transcriptome microarray with Illumina BeadArray. Pathways and genes involved in 7 of 10 known cancer hallmarks, namely, tumor-promoting inflammation (TNF-A, NFK-B, IL18 pathways), activation of invasion and migration (various extracellular matrix-related pathways, cell migration), sustained proliferative signaling (K-Ras Signaling), evasion of growth suppressors (P53 signaling, regulation of cell death), deregulating cellular energetics (response to lipid, secreted factors, and adipogenesis), inducing angiogenesis (hypoxia signaling, myogenesis), and avoiding immune destruction (CTLA4 and PDL1) were significantly deregulated during surgical resection (time points A vs. B vs. C). These findings were validated using NanoString assays in independent pre/intra/post-operative breast cancer samples from 48 patients. In a comparison of gene expression data from biopsy (analogous to time point A) with surgical resection samples (analogous to time point C) from The Cancer Genome Atlas study, the top deregulated genes were the same as identified in our analysis, in five of the seven studied cancer types. This study suggests that surgical extirpation deregulates the hallmarks of cancer in primary tumors and adjacent normal tissue across different cancers.Implications: Surgery deregulates hallmarks of cancer in human tissue.

Abstract: Introduction: The importance of DNA repair enzymes in maintaining genomic integrity is highlighted by the hypothesis that DNA damage by reactive oxygen/nitrogen species produced inside the host cell is essential for the mutagenesis process. Endonuclease III (Nth), formamidopyrimide (Fpg) and endonuclease VIII (Nei) DNA glycosylases are essential components of the bacterial base excision repair process. Mycobacterium leprae lost both fpg/nei genes during the reductive evolution event and only has the nth (ML2301) gene. This study aims to characterize the mutations in the nth gene of M. leprae strains and explore its correlation with drug -resistance. Method: A total of 91 M. leprae positive DNA samples extracted from skin biopsy samples of newly diagnosed leprosy patients from NSCB Hospital Jabalpur were assessed for the nth gene as well as drug resistance -associated loci of the rpoB, gyrA and folP1 genes through PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. Results: Of these 91 patients, a total of two insertion frameshift mutations, two synonymous and seven nonsynonymous mutations were found in nth in seven samples. Sixteen samples were found to be resistant to ofloxacin and one was found to be dapsone resistant as per the known DRDR mutations. No mutations were found in the rpoB region. Interestingly, none of the nth mutations were identified in the drug -resistant associated samples. Conclusion: The in-silico structural analysis of the non -synonymous mutations in the Nth predicted five of them were to be deleterious. Our results suggest that the mutations in the nth gene may be potential markers for phylogenetic and epidemiological studies.

Abstract: Rationally designed multitargeted drugs, known as network therapeutics/multimodal drugs, have emerged as versatile therapeutic solutions to combat drug-resistant microbes. Here, we report novel mechanistic insights into cellular and molecular targets of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) against Candida albicans, a representative of fungal pathogens. Stable, monodispersed 4-6 nm ZnO QDs were synthesized using a wet chemical route, which exhibited dose-dependent inhibition on the growth dynamics of Candida. Treatment with 200 mu g/mL ZnO QDs revealed an aberrant morphology and a disrupted cellular ultrastructure in electron microscopy and led to a 23% reduction in ergosterol content and a 53% increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species. Significant increase in steady-state fluorescence polarization and fluorescence lifetime decay of membrane probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) in treated cells, respectively, implied reduction in membrane fluidity and enhanced microviscosity. The observed reduction in passive diffusion of fluorescent Rhodamine 6G across the membrane validated the intricate relationship between ergosterol, membrane fluidity, and microviscosity. An inverse relationship existing between ergosterol biosynthetic genes, ERG11 and ERG3 in treated cells, related well with displayed higher susceptibilities. Furthermore, treated cells exhibited impaired functionality and downregulation of ABC drug efflux pumps. Multiple cellular targets of ZnO QDs in Candida were validated by in silico molecular docking. Thus, targeting ERG11, ERG3, and ABC drug efflux pumps might emerge as a versatile, nano-ZnO-based strategy in fungal therapeutics to address the challenges of drug resistance.

Abstract: In this paper, a series of bluish-green emitting Li2SiO3:xTb(3+)(x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol) phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The effects of Tb3+ doping concentration on photoluminescence (PL) properties of Li2SiO3:xTb(3+) were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis show that the prepared phosphors confirm the sample has orthorhombic crystal structure. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) shown that Tb element are uniformly doped in Li2SiO3 phosphor with a proper stoichiometric ratio. UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the band gap of Li2SiO3:0.04Tb(3+) phosphor. The near ultraviolet light at the wavelength of 379 nm can excite this phosphor and exhibits blue emission at 484 nm at transition D-5(3) -> F-7(6), and green emission at 541 nm at transition D-5(4) -> F-7(5.) The critical quenching concentration of Tb3+ in Li(2)SiO(3)host is 0.04 mol(.) The life time measurements were also performed for Li2SiO3:0.04Tb(3+) phosphor and estimated average life time. From the photometric properties result indicates that prepared phosphors were emit bluish-green light and they were useful for the solid state lighting applications.

Abstract: Electrolyte design is indeed a highly effective strategy to improve battery performance. However, identifying the intermolecular interaction in electrolyte solvation structure is rarely reported in potassium-ion batteries. Herein, it is discovered that a solvent-solvent intermolecular interaction can be formed when introducing the cyclopentylmethyl ether (CPME) solvent into the commonly used 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolytes. Such interaction is not only analyzed by 2D H-1-H-1 correlation spectroscopy for the first time but also found that it can weaken the K+-DME interaction significantly, consequently enabling a reversible K+ (de-)intercalation within the graphite. By employing this strategy without using any fluorine-based solvent, a new fluorine-free and low-concentration ether-based electrolyte is designed, which is not only compatible with graphite but also facilitates the design of high-energy-density and safe potassium ion sulfur batteries. A novel molecular interfacial model is further presented to analyze the interfacial behaviors of K+-solvent-anion complexes on the electrode surface that are affected by intermolecular interactions, elucidating the reasons behind the superior electrolyte compatibility and graphite electrode performance at the molecular scale. This work sheds some light on the critical role of solvent-solvent interactions in electrolyte design for potassium-ion batteries and provides valuable insights for engineering and enhancing the performance of electrolytes and batteries.

Abstract: Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is shown to induce a topologically protected chiral spin texture in magnetic/nonmagnetic heterostructures. In the context of van der Waals spintronic devices, graphene emerges as an excellent candidate material. However, due to its negligible spin-orbit interaction, inducing DMI to stabilize topological spins when coupled to 3d-ferromagnets remains challenging. Here, it is demonstrated that, despite these challenges, a sizeable Rashba-type spin splitting followed by significant DMI is induced in graphene/Fe3GeTe2. This is made possible due to an interfacial electric field driven by charge asymmetry together with the broken inversion symmetry of the heterostructure. These findings reveal that the enhanced DMI energy parameter, resulting from a large effective electron mass in Fe3GeTe2, remarkably contributes to stabilizing non-collinear spins below the Curie temperature, overcoming the magnetic anisotropy energy. These results are supported by the topological Hall effect, which coexists with the non-trivial breakdown of Fermi liquid behavior, confirming the interplay between spins and non-trivial topology. This work paves the way toward the design and control of interface-driven skyrmion-based devices.

Abstract: Lithium metal batteries utilizing lithium metal as the anode can achieve a greater energy density. However, it remains challenging to improve low-temperature performance and fast-charging features. Herein, we introduce an electrolyte solvation chemistry strategy to regulate the properties of ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes through intermolecular interactions, utilizing weakly solvated fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to replace EC, and incorporating the low-melting-point solvent 1,2-difluorobenzene (2FB) as a diluent. We identified that the intermolecular interaction between 2FB and solvent can facilitate Li+ desolvation and lower the freezing point of the electrolyte effectively. The resulting electrolyte enables the LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2||Li cell to operate at -30 degrees C for more than 100 cycles while delivering a high capacity of 154 mAh g(-1) at 5.0C. We present a solvation structure and interfacial model to analyze the behavior of the formulated electrolyte composition, establishing a relationship with cell performance and also providing insights for the electrolyte design under extreme conditions.

Abstract: Financial markets are a quintessential example of complex systems wherein strategic connections arising through the trading (buying and selling) of different stocks gives rise to dynamic correlation patterns in stock prices. Network science based approaches have been employed for more than two decades to investigate the stock market as an inferential network, with nodes representing stocks and edges as pairwise cross -correlations between stock prices. However, a recent focus has been the characterization of the higher -order structure, beyond pairwise correlation, of such networks. To this end, geometry -inspired measures (such as discrete Ricci curvatures) and topological data analysis (TDA) based methods (such as persistent homology) have become attractive tools for characterizing the higher -order structure of networks representing the financial systems. In this study, our goal is to perform a comparative analysis of both these approaches, especially by assessing the fragility and systemic risk in the Indian stock markets, which is known for its high volatility and risk. To achieve this goal, we analyze the time series of daily log -returns of stocks comprising the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Specifically, our aim is to monitor the changes in standard network measures, edge -centric discrete Ricci curvatures, and persistent homology based topological measures computed from cross -correlation matrices of stocks. In this study, the edge -centric discrete Ricci curvatures have been employed for the first time in the analysis of the Indian stock markets. The Indian stock markets are known to be less diverse in comparison to the US market, and hence provides us an interesting example. Our results point that, among the persistent homology based topological measures, persistent entropy is simple and more robust than L 1 -norm and L 2 -norm of persistence landscape. In a broader comparison between network analysis and TDA, we highlight that the network analysis is sensitive to the way of constructing the networks (threshold or minimum spanning tree), as well as the threshold values used to construct the correlation -based threshold networks. On the other hand, the persistent homology is a more robust approach and is able to capture the higher -order interactions and eliminate noisy data in financial systems, since it does not take into account a single value of threshold but rather a range of values.

Abstract: Lightweight and high-strength materials are the significant demand for energy storage applications in recent years. Composite materials have the potential to attain physical, chemical, mechanical, and tribological qualities in the present environment. In this study, graphene (Gr) and biosilica (Bs) nanoparticle extracts from waste coconut shell and rye grass are utilized as reinforcement materials to add to the aluminum silicon (Al-Si) alloy matrix materials. Selective laser melting (SLM) is a rapidly manufacturing technology used to create Al/Gr/Bs hybrid composites. The specimens are made up of four distinct combinations of base matrix alloy (100 wt%), Gr (3, 6, and 9 wt %), and Bs (2, 4, and 6 wt %) with an aluminium alloy matrix. The influence on mechanical characteristics, specifically hardness, tensile strength, and wear, was investigated and compared to the basic matrix alloy. The fracture processes of wear specimens are studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Globally, graphene (Gr)-based materials for energy storage devices have been successfully manufactured and deployed in a variety of applications, including super capacitors, lithium-ion batteries, water splitting, fuel cell electrocatalysts, and solar cells. Environmentally friendly graphene (Gr) and biosilica (Bs) nanoparticles have the potential to be used as reinforcement in composite development. These findings showed how promising graphene (Gr) and biosilica (Bs), which are inexpensive reinforcement materials made from leftover coconut shell and rye grass, are for use in energy storage applications.

Abstract: Cardio-metabolic disease is a significant global health challenge with increasing prevalence. Recent research underscores the disruption of gut microbial balance as a key factor in disease susceptibility. We aimed to characterize the gut microbiota composition and function in cardio-metabolic disease and healthy controls. For this purpose, we collected stool samples of 18 subjects (12 diseased, 6 healthy) and we performed metagenomics analysis and functional prediction using QIIME2 and PICRUSt. Furthermore, we carried out assessments of microbe-gene interactions, gene ontology, and microbe-disease associations. Our findings revealed distinct microbial patterns in the diseased group, particularly evident in lower taxonomic levels with significant variations in 14 microbial features. The diseased cohort exhibited an enrichment of Lachnospiraceae family, correlating with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic disturbances. Conversely, reduced levels of Clostridium, Gemmiger, and Ruminococcus genera indicated a potential inflammatory state, linked to compromised butyrate production and gut permeability. Functional analyses highlighted dysregulated pathways in amino acid metabolism and energy equilibrium, with perturbations correlating with elevated branch-chain amino acid levels-a known contributor to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. These findings were consistent across biomarker assessments, microbe-gene associations, and gene ontology analyses, emphasizing the intricate interplay between gut microbial dysbiosis and cardio-metabolic disease progression. In conclusion, our study unveils significant shifts in gut microbial composition and function in cardio-metabolic disease, emphasizing the broader implications of microbial dysregulation. Addressing gut microbial balance emerges as a crucial therapeutic target in managing cardio-metabolic disease burden.

Abstract: Malaria parasite invasion to host erythrocytes is mediated by multiple interactions between merozoite ligands and erythrocyte receptors that contribute toward the development of disease pathology. Here, we report a novel antigen Plasmodium prohibitin “PfPHB2″and identify its cognate partner “Hsp70A1A”in host erythrocyte that plays a crucial role in mediating host -parasite interaction during merozoite invasion. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA)- and glucosamine-6-phosphate riboswitch (glmS) ribozyme-mediated approach, we show that loss of Hsp70A1A in red blood cells (RBCs) or PfPHB2 in infected red blood cells (iRBCs), respectively, inhibit PfPHB2-Hsp70A1A interaction leading to invasion inhibition. Antibodies targeting PfPHB2 and monoclonal antibody therapeutics against Hsp70A1A efficiently block parasite invasion. Recombinant PfPHB2 binds to RBCs which is inhibited by anti-PfPHB2 antibody and monoclonal antibody against Hsp70A1A. The validation of PfPHB2 to serve as antigen is further supported by detection of anti-PfPHB2 antibody in patient sera. Overall, this study proposes PfPHB2 as vaccine candidate and highlights the use of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for future malaria treatment.

Abstract: Climate change affects Indian agriculture, which depends heavily on the spatiotemporal distribution of monsoon rainfall. Despite the nonlinear relationship between crop yield and rainfall, little is known about the optimal rainfall threshold, particularly for monsoon rice. Here, we investigate the responses of rice yield to monsoon rainfall in India by analyzing historical rice production statistics and climate data from 1990 to 2017. Results show that excessive and deficit rainfall reduces rice yield by 33.7% and 19%, respectively. The overall optimal rainfall threshold nationwide is 1621 +/- 34 mm beyond which rice yield declines by 6.4 kg per hectare per 100 mm of rainfall, while the identifiable thresholds vary spatially across 14 states. The temporal variations in rice yield are influenced by rainfall anomalies featured by El Ni & ntilde;o-Southern Oscillation events.
Excessive rainfalls have led to a greater decrease in monsoon-season rice yield in India than deficit rainfalls, suggests a statistical analysis of historical rice production and climate data from 1990 to 2017.

Title: PMRNA: Parameter matching of realtime and non-realtime applications for resource provisioning in fog-integrated cloud
Author(s): Singh, S (Singh, Satveer); Vidyarthi, DP (Vidyarthi, Deo Prakash)
Source: CONCURRENCY AND COMPUTATION-PRACTICE & EXPERIENCE  DOI: 10.1002/cpe.8145  Early Access Date: MAY 2024  Published Date: 2024 MAY 8  
Abstract: Fog computing, an emerging technology, extends Cloud computing services to the network’s edge in the proximity of the application request. This extension yields improvement in Bandwidth (BW) utilization, faster responses to Real-Time (RT) and Internet of Things (IoT) requests, and the provision of the heterogeneous resource services. While extensive work has been conducted on resource allocation for RT and Non-Real-Time (NRT) requests separately in Fog as well as Cloud computing, there is limited focus on resource provisioning for mixed RT and NRT requests in the Fog-integrated Cloud (FiC) environment. Moreover, the majority of the existing provisioning methods primarily consider parameters from the system’s perspective, overlooking crucial user aspects such as deadline and request size. To address the gap, this work introduces a resource provisioning method named “Parameter Matching of Realtime and Non-Realtime Applications (PMRNA),” which considers user parameters and resource information, gathered by the broker. The performance evaluation of the proposed model is done in CloudSim, using various combinations of RT and NRT requests along with diverse Fog and Cloud resource configurations. Evaluation metric includes average Execution Time (ET), average Waiting Time (WT), average Turn Around Time (TAT), and resource utilization. The experimental results demonstrate a significant reduction in both average WT and average TAT for the diverse pool of RT and NRT requests in the FiC compared to the Cloud-only environment.

Title: Vision-Based Accident Anticipation and Detection Using Deep Learning
Author(s): Verma, A (Verma, Ayush); Khari, M (Khari, Manju)
Source: IEEE INSTRUMENTATION & MEASUREMENT MAGAZINE  Volume: 27  Issue: 3  Pages: 22-29  DOI: 10.1109/MIM.2024.10505198  Published Date: 2024 MAY  
Abstract: Traffic accidents are one of the significant causes of injury, death, hospitalization and disability. The Road Traffic Injuries Report 2021 by the World Health Organization (WHO) reflects that globally every year, 1.20 million lives are lost as a consequence of road traffic accidents. In addition, between 20 and 40 million more commuters suffer nonlethal wounds, with many sustaining disabilities due to their injury. The rapid development of artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques are generating new opportunities for intelligent traffic and safety systems. In many countries, dashboard cameras (dashcam) are widely used in human operated and autonomous vehicles. A smart and efficient and intelligent system that can anticipate and detect accidents from the dashcam mounted video camera will improve preparedness, prevention and accident management. This paper presents a computer vision-based accident anticipation and detection method. The proposed approach employs a spatial feature based Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) along with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells to anticipate and detect accidents through dashcam video of vehicles. This method can accomplish accident anticipation about 1.7 seconds prior to its occurring with about 80% recall and 71% precision.

Abstract: Palmitoylation is an essential post-translational modification in Leishmania donovani, catalyzed by enzymes called palmitoyl acyl transferases (PATs) and has an essential role in virulence. Due to the toxicity and promiscuity of known PAT inhibitors, identification of new molecules is needed. Herein, we identified a specific novel de novo peptide inhibitor, PS1, against the PAT6 Leishmania donovani palmitoyl acyl transferase (LdPAT6). To demonstrate specific inhibition of LdPAT6 by PS1, we employed a bacterial orthologue system and metabolic labeling-coupled click chemistry where both LdPAT6 and PS1 were coexpressed and displayed palmitoylation suppression. Furthermore, strong binding of the LdPAT6-DHHC domain with PS1 was observed through analysis using microscale thermophoresis, ELISA, and dot blot assay. PS1 specific to LdPAT6 showed significant growth inhibition in promastigotes and amastigotes by expressing low cytokines levels and invasion. This study reveals discovery of a novel de novo peptide against LdPAT6-DHHC which has potential to block survivability and infectivity of L. donovani.

Abstract: Fungi are one of the most diverse organisms found in our surroundings. The heterotrophic lifestyle of fungi and the ever-changing external environmental factors pose numerous challenges for their survival. Despite all adversities, fungi continuously develop new survival strategies to secure nutrition and space from their host. During host-pathogen interaction, filamentous phytopathogens in particular, effectively infect their hosts by maintaining polarised growth at the tips of hyphae. The fungal cell wall, being the prime component of host contact, plays a crucial role in fortifying the intracellular environment against the harsh external environment. Structurally, the fungal cell wall is a highly dynamic yet rigid component, responsible for maintaining cellular morphology. Filamentous pathogens actively maintain their dynamic cell wall to compensate rapid growth on the host. Additionally, they secrete effectors to dampen the sophisticated mechanisms of plant defense and initiate various downstream signaling cascades to repair the damage inflicted by the host. Thus, the fungal cell wall serves as a key modulator of fungal pathogenicity. The fungal cell wall with their associated signaling mechanisms emerge as intriguing targets for host immunity. This review comprehensively examines and summarizes the multifaceted findings of various research groups regarding the dynamics of the cell wall in filamentous fungal pathogens during host invasion.

Title: Unique Synthetic Strategy for Probing in Situ Lysosomal NO for Screening Neuroinflammatory Phenotypes against SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Phagocytotic Microglia

Abstract: In the pathogenesis of microglia, brain immune cells promote nitrergic stress by overproducing nitric oxide (NO), leading to neuroinflammation. Furthermore, NO has been linked to COVID-19 progression, which has caused significant morbidity and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infection activates inflammation by releasing excess NO and causing cell death in human microglial clone 3 (HMC3). In addition, NO regulates lysosomal functions and complex machinery to neutralize pathogens through phagocytosis. Therefore, developing lysosome-specific NO probes to monitor phagocytosis in microglia during the COVID-19 infection would be a significant study. Herein, a unique synthetic strategy was adopted to develop a NO selective fluorescent probe, PDM-NO, which can discriminate activated microglia from their resting state. The nonfluorescent PDM-NO exhibits a turn-on response toward NO only at lysosomal pH (4.5-5.5). Quantum chemical calculations (DFT/TD-DFT/PCM) and photophysical study revealed that the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is pivotal in tuning optical properties. PDM-NO demonstrated good biocompatibility and lysosomal specificity in activated HMC3 cells. Moreover, it can effectively map the dynamics of lysosomal NO against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-induced neuroinflammation in HMC3. Thus, PDM-NO is a potential fluorescent marker for detecting RNA virus infection and monitoring phagocytosis in HMC3.

Title: Ectopic Overexpression of Domestication-Driven Cytoskeletal <i>Profilin</i> (<i>GhPRF1</i>) Gene Improves Flowering and Trichome Development in Cotton (<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.)

Abstract: Cotton, as a natural fiber crop, plays a pivotal role in advancing global textile industry. Comparative transcriptome analyses of single-cell ‘fiber’ from wild and domesticated plant revealed the evolutionary selection of cell wall-associated profilin gene family during cotton domestication. However, the evolutionary significance of elevated transcript abundance of profilins (GhPRFs) in floral and fiber tissues, and their practical application in the field for improving crop yield remain poorly understood. In this study, the domestication-driven 402 bp long GhPRF1 gene (Pro35Sde:GhPRF1-pA) was constitutively overexpressed in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Coker 310FR) through Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of 1513 cotyledonary explants undergoing somatic embryogenesis. Out of the 32 putative GhPRF1 transgenic overexpression (Ox) lines produced, 26 lines were successfully confirmed with independent transgene integrations. Compared with those of the untransformed wild type (WT), the cumulative abundance of GhPRF1 transcripts in the leaf tissues of GhPRF1 overexpressing lines Pf-CaOx7, Pf-CaOx14, and Pf-CaOx19 substantially increased (> 12-fold). These transgenic lines exhibited increased numbers of secondary branches, flower buds per branch, and trichome density on the abaxial surface of leaves compared to the WT plants. Despite comparable fiber lengths between the overexpression lines and the WT, the enhanced fiber yields in the overexpression lines were attributed to increased flower number and boll production per branch. Remarkably, GhPRF1 overexpression also manifested transcriptional biases specific to profilin homologs in vegetative, floral, and fiber tissues. This is primarily attributed to increased actin polymerization and the formation of dense F-actin bundles, which are especially evident in the vascular regions of overexpression lines compared to those of the WT. This study revealed novel phenotypic and genetic foundations influencing floral and fiber architecture in cotton and offers promising avenues for manipulating agronomic traits.

Abstract: We present the use of an amine functionalized two-dimensional clay i.e., aminoclay (AC), in the chemistry of a three-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) i.e., MIL-101(Cr), to prepare MIL-101(Cr)/AC composites, which are exploited as catalysts for efficient conversion of CO2 gas into cyclic carbonates under ambient reaction conditions. Three different MOF nanocomposites, denoted as MIL-101(Cr)/AC-1, MIL-101(Cr)/AC-2, and MIL-101(Cr)/AC-3, were synthesized by an in situ process by adding different amounts of AC to the precursor solutions of the MIL-101(Cr). The composites were characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, PXRD, FESEM, EDX, TGA, N-2 adsorption, as well as CO2 and NH3-TPD measurements. The composites were exploited as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition reactions with different epoxides and the catalytic activity was investigated at atmospheric pressure under solvent-free conditions. Among all the materials, MIL-101(Cr)/AC-2 shows the best catalytic efficiency under the optimized conditions and exhibits enhanced efficacy compared to various MIL-101(Cr)-based MOF catalysts, which typically need either high temperature and pressure or a longer reaction time or a combination of all the parameters. The present protocol using MIL-101(Cr)/AC-2 as the heterogeneous catalyst gives 99.9% conversion for all the substrates into the products at atmospheric pressure.

Title: Customary ‘child selling’ and the ‘untouched mother’ in Western Odisha, India: understanding the legitimatization of caste hierarchy
Author(s): Bag, M (Bag, Minaketan); Podh, KK (Podh, Kishor K.)

Abstract: The place of mothers is respected in all societies irrespective of their social, cultural, and geographical differences. The mother-child relationship is considered one of the most sacred in the world. This article explores the age-old customary ‘child selling’ prevalent in Western Odisha, a voluntary and non-remunerative practice of childcare during infancy to save children from illness and Yama, the Hindu god of death, where the ‘caring mother’ belongs to the bottom of the social hierarchy, mainly from the (ex-)untouchable castes. According to popular belief, Yama does not visit the untouchables because of their ‘filthy’ environment and their gods. Hence, it is considered a safer place for children, especially weak ones or those with the chronic illnesses of the upper castes, to conceal themselves from the evil eyes of Yama. The epistemology of this article aims to explore the hegemonic nature of the caste systems, which overwhelms the revered mother-child relationship. Further, it tries to understand the (re)production of caste and legitimization of sociopsychological conditions for the marginalization and backwardness of ‘caring mothers’. Despite the sacred and intimate relationship between the ‘caring mother’ and child, the institution of ‘ritual selling’ reproduces caste inequalities, and again the former becomes an ‘untouchable’.

Abstract: The overwhelming use of PET plastic in various day-to-day activities led to the voluminous increase in PET waste and growing environmental hazards. A plethora of methods have been used that are associated with secondary pollutants. Therefore, microbial degradation of PET provides a sustainable approach due to its versatile metabolic diversity and capacity. The present work highlights the cutinase enzyme’s role in PET degradation. This study focuses on the bacterial cutinases homologs screened from 43 reported phylum of bacteria. The reported bacterial cutinases for plastic degradation have been chosen as reference sequences, and 917 sequences have shown homology across the bacterial phyla. The dienelactone hydrolase (DLH) domain was identified for attaining specificity towards PET binding in 196 of 917 sequences. Various computational tools have been used for the physicochemical characterization of 196 sequences. The analysis revealed that most selected sequences are hydrophilic, extracellular, and thermally stable. Based on this analysis, 17 sequences have been further pursued for three-dimensional structure prediction and validation. The molecular docking studies of 17 selected sequences revealed efficient PET binding with the three sequences derived from the phylum Bacteroidota, the lowest binding energy of -5.9 kcal/mol, Armatimonadota, and Nitrososphaerota with -5.8 kcal/mol. The two enzyme sequences retrieved from the phylum Bacteroidota and Armatimonadota are metagenomically derived. Therefore, the present studies concluded that there is a high probability of finding cutinase homologs in various environmental resources that can be further explored for PET degradation.

Abstract: In the present study, two Mg-Sb-Sn and Mg-Sb-Ca alloys were prepared, and their microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties were studied systematically. The microstructure of the Mg-4 wt.% Sb-(2,4 wt.%) Sn alloys showed primary alpha-Mg as white region and eutectic alpha-Mg as dark region. As Sn content increased from 2 to 4 wt.%, the Mg3Sb2 and Mg2Sn phases were seemed to be finer and the number of Mg2Sn phases were increased. The Mg-4 wt.% Sb-(2,4 wt.%) Ca alloys composed of alpha-Mg and MgSbCa phases. As Ca content increased from 2 to 4 wt.%, volume fraction of MgSbCa phase increased and its morphology was changed from shorter network to lengthy skeleton-like structure. The increased amount of finer Mg2Sn and Sb-Sn-rich phases and the alpha-Mg refinement increased strength of Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Sn alloy compared to Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Sn alloy. The refinement of alpha-Mg dendrites and a higher fraction of MgSbCa phases increased strength of Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Ca alloy compared to Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Ca alloy. Increased addition of Sn from 2 to 4 wt.% suppressed Mg3Sb2 phases in Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Sn alloy, that deteriorate creep resistance of this alloy related to Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Sn alloy. The presence of lengthy skeleton-type MgSbCa phases reduced creep resistance of Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Ca alloy compared to Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Ca alloy. The long-term immersion test results demonstrated that the corrosion resistance of the Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Sn alloy was higher compared to the Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Sn alloy. Additionally, due to the lower cathode/anode surface area in the Mg-4 wt.% Sb-2 wt.% Ca alloy, it exhibited higher corrosion resistance than the Mg-4 wt.% Sb-4 wt.% Ca alloy.

Abstract: A pre-clinical toxicological evaluation of herbal medicines is necessary to identify any underlying health-associated side effects, if any. BPGrit is an Ayurveda-based medicine prescribed for treating hypertensive conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography-based analysis revealed the presence of gallic acid, ellagic acid, coumarin, cinnamic acid, guggulsterone E, and guggulsterone Z in BPGrit. For sub-acute toxicity analysis of BPGrit, male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were given repeated oral gavage at 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day dosages for 28 days, followed by a 14-day recovery phase. No incidences of mortality, morbidity, or abnormal clinical signs were observed in BPGrit-treated rats throughout the study period. Also, the body weight and food consumption habits of the experimental animals did not change during the study duration. Hematological, biochemical, and histopathological analysis did not indicate any abnormal changes occurring in the BPGrit-treated rats up to the highest tested dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight/day. Finally, the study established the “no-observed-adverse-effect level” for BPGrit at >1000 mg/kg body weight/day in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Title: Elevation dependency of precipitation and temperature over northeast India

Abstract: The study inspects the elevation dependency of temperature and precipitation across northeast India. Various gridded observations and outputs from high-resolution Regional Climate Models under the CORDEX-CORE framework have been employed. The better representation of the topography leads to higher orographic precipitation in the model environment. Positive vorticity led to strong convergence of the moisture-laden air resulting in high precipitation along the slopes of the mountains, which is more intense above 1800 m. The variance in the magnitude of precipitation at different elevations indicates the role of other factors, such as the difference in the convection processes. The latitudinal and longitudinal analysis reflects that the precipitation follows the topography leading to higher orographic precipitation along the slopes of the Meghalaya Plateau and the mountains. The change of temperature with elevation is very shallow till 3000 m, particularly during monsoon and pre-monsoon, which can be attributed to the release of a huge amount of latent heat due to the condensation of water vapour during the convection process. Interestingly, all the model experiments indicate towards a higher warming signal between the elevation range 4000-5000 m. The temperature also shows a strong association with the elevation, with a decline in temperature over the Meghalaya plateau and higher elevations. The variability among model experiments as well as the decline of temperature with elevation is highest above 5000 m. Precipitation and temperature changes are found to be higher for fast-changing elevation profiles, while precipitation distribution is also dependent upon the local processes influencing the convection processes such as the vorticity, CAPE etc.

Abstract: An emerging subclass of the wireless network is known as a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), in this network whenever the contact opportunity occurs sender nodes select the relay node randomly and disseminate the message in the network. The basic properties of DTN include; no fixed source-to-destination route, longer delay between nodes, and frequent disconnection among nodes. DTN is also known as Opportunistic Networks (OppNets). Routing protocols for traditional ad-hoc networks can’t work in DTN, because conventional networks require continuous end-to-end routes among sender and receiver nodes for the complete duration of message communication. So, OppNets used the principle of store-carry-forward to provide routing in the wireless network. This article provides a Bibliometrics evaluation of wireless networks for articles, sources, keywords, and others. The complete basics of the wireless network along with their classification, characteristics, routing protocols, strengths, weaknesses, and applications. This is analysed that only 14% of VANET-based protocols, 25% of MANET-based, 25% WSN-based, and 36% of OppNet-based protocols are already introduced in the wireless network.

Abstract: Every year, a huge amount of lethal compounds, such as synthetic dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons, etc. are mass produced worldwide, which negatively affect soil, air, and water quality. At present, pesticides are used very frequently to meet the requirements of modernized agriculture. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that food production will increase by 80% by 2050 to keep up with the growing population, consequently pesticides will continue to play a role in agriculture. However, improper handling of these highly persistent chemicals leads to pollution of the environment and accumulation in food chain. These effects necessitate the development of technologies to eliminate or degrade these pollutants. Degradation of these compounds by physical and chemical processes is expensive and usually results in secondary compounds with higher toxicity. The biological strategies proposed for the degradation of these compounds are both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Microbes play an imperative role in the degradation of xenobiotic compounds that have toxic effects on the environment. This review on the fate of xenobiotic compounds in the environment presents cutting-edge insights and novel contributions in different fields.

Abstract: Main ConclusionOsRR26 is a cytokinin-responsive response regulator that promotes phytohormone-mediated ROS accumulation in rice roots, regulates seedling growth, spikelet fertility, awn development, represses NADPH oxidases, and negatively affects salinity tolerance.Plant two-component systems (TCS) play a pivotal role in phytohormone signaling, stress responses, and circadian rhythm. However, a significant knowledge gap exists regarding TCS in rice. In this study, we utilized a functional genomics approach to elucidate the role of OsRR26, a type-B response regulator in rice. Our results demonstrate that OsRR26 is responsive to cytokinin, ABA, and salinity stress, serving as the ortholog of Arabidopsis ARR11. OsRR26 primarily localizes to the nucleus and plays a crucial role in seedling growth, spikelet fertility, and the suppression of awn development. Exogenous application of cytokinin led to distinct patterns of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in the roots of both WT and transgenic plants (OsRR26OE and OsRR26KD), indicating the potential involvement of OsRR26 in cytokinin-mediated ROS signaling in roots. The application of exogenous ABA resulted in varied cellular compartmentalization of ROS between the WT and transgenic lines. Stress tolerance assays of these plants revealed that OsRR26 functions as a negative regulator of salinity stress tolerance across different developmental stages in rice. Physiological and biochemical analyses unveiled that the knockdown of OsRR26 enhances salinity tolerance, characterized by improved chlorophyll retention and the accumulation of soluble sugars, K+ content, and amino acids, particularly proline.Main ConclusionOsRR26 is a cytokinin-responsive response regulator that promotes phytohormone-mediated ROS accumulation in rice roots, regulates seedling growth, spikelet fertility, awn development, represses NADPH oxidases, and negatively affects salinity tolerance.Plant two-component systems (TCS) play a pivotal role in phytohormone signaling, stress responses, and circadian rhythm.

Abstract: Candida albicans, a pathogenic fungus, poses a significant threat, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems, leading to elevated mortality rates. The problem is exacerbated by their ability to form biofilms on medical devices, such as catheters, thereby resisting treatments. To tackle this challenge, we have developed an innovative approach involving the detection and combatting of C. albicans biofilm and its associated stages in the presence of a unique antimicrobial nanocomposite (ZnO/Ag/RGO) coating. Microscopic assessments reveal the nanocomposite’s exceptional inhibitory impact on C. albicans cells, demonstrating its efficacy. Time-kinetic experiments further elucidate the restraining effects of ZnO/Ag/RGO coatings on C. albicans biofilm formation over intervals. The absence of hypha structures on nanocomposite-coated surfaces was also noted. A concentration-dependent decrease in cell adhesion further validates the potency of the nanocomposite. To substantiate our findings, we employed advanced techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltage spectrometry (CV) for real-time electronic monitoring of biofilm dynamics. These experiments revealed differences in the time- and concentration-dependent curves. While the concentration-dependent curve maintained linearity, the time-dependent graph portrayed a distinct expression, probably due to cell association. This work stands out as one of the few endeavors seeking to map events within the biofilm matrix in response to an external agent, providing valuable insights into the interplay between ZnO, Ag, and RGO and biofilm dynamics. Our present approach, combining microscopy and electrochemical data, holds promise in contributing to the development of sensing strategies for microbial biofilms and their inhibition.

Abstract: Normally, the reported gain of the microstrip patch antenna is within 8 dBi. Using properly located three shorting pins on three bisectors, the present work reports a method to convert the non-radiating TM11 mode of equilateral triangular patch antennas (ETPAs) to a deformed TM11 radiating mode. The boresight gain of ETPA operating in TM11 mode is enhanced from -10.75 to 12.1 dBi at 5.43 GHz. The boresight measured gain is further enhanced to 14.2 dBi at 5.52 GHz by using a triangular surface-mounted short horn (SMSH) of about ${{\lambda }}/5$ height. The aperture efficiency of the ETPA with the shorting pins is 84.2%. The aperture efficiency is further improved to 94.2% using the SMSH. The measured boresight cross-polarization and side-lobe level are -40 and -29 dB, respectively. The nature of the electricfield and surface current distribution is analyzed, using both the characteristic mode analysis method and high-frequency structure simulator, to understand the role of shorting pin and coaxial feed in converting the non-radiating TM11 mode to the radiating mode. A systematic design process also is presented for a fast design of shorting pin-loaded ETPA on the suitable substrate at a specified frequency.

Abstract: The Au partially embedded nanostructure (PEN) is synthesized by ion irradiation on an Au thin film deposited on a glass substrate using a 50 keV Ar ion. Scanning electron microscopy results show ion beam-induced restructuring from irregularly shaped nanostructures (NSs) to spherical Au NSs, and further ion irradiation leads to the formation of well-separated spherical nanoparticles. Higuchi’s algorithm of surface analysis is utilized to find the evolution of surface morphology with ion irradiation in terms of the Hurst exponent and fractal dimension. The Au PEN is evidenced by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and optical studies. Also, the depth of the mechanism behind synthesized PEN is explained on the basis of theoretical simulations, namely, a unified thermal spike and a Monte Carlo simulation consisting of dynamic compositional changes (TRIDYN). Another set of plasmonic NSs was formed on the surface by thermal annealing of the Au film on the substrate. Glucose sensing has been studied on the two types of plasmonic layers: nanoparticles on the surface and PEN. The results reveal the sensing responses of both types of plasmonic layers. However, PEN retains its plasmonic behavior as the NSs are still present after washing with water, which demonstrates the potential for reusability. Research Highlights Synthesis of PENs by ion irradiation Utilization of Higuchi’s algorithm to explore the surface morphology. Unified thermal spike and TRIDYN simulations being used to explain the results. Glucose is only used as a test case for reusability of substrate.

Abstract: Background: Rapid industrialization has triggered the proliferation of dyes and antibiotics in the water system in recent decades. Due to advantages like low cost, high catalytic efficiency, and the ability to exist in multiple valences, MnO2 as a photocatalyst has attracted more and more attention. Methods: This review covers recent progress on MnO2-based composites for photocatalytic properties obtained via the Z-scheme charge carrier mechanism. Firstly, the electronic, photoelectric, and crystallographic properties of MnO2 are highlighted, and the fabrication of heterojunctions by suitable band alignments following the Zscheme electron transfer pathway. This article presents recent advances in MnO2-based nanomaterials, focusing on improving photocatalytic activity via the Z-scheme mechanism. Then a detailed discussion on various electron transfer pathways in MnO2-based composites offered a broader view by providing several characterization techniques to testify to the route of the Z-scheme mechanism. Significant Findings: This review also provided a systematic summary of their applications in environmental (dye, antibiotics degradation) and energy (water splitting, CO2 reduction) applications. Although many efforts have been made, significant improvements are still required for photocatalysis. This work presents future perspectives for improving the efficacy of photocatalysts, followed by a conclusion.

Abstract: Drug resistance plays a vital role in both cancer treatment and prognosis. Especially, early insights into such drug-induced resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can help to improve treatment plans, reduce costs, and bring overall positive outcomes for patients. Raman spectroscopy provides precise biomolecular information and can provide all these necessities effectively. In this study, we employed machine learning (ML) discrimination of Raman micro-spectroscopic data of myelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 from its drug-resistant counterpart HL-60/MX2. Principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and logistic regression (LR) methods were evaluated for their ability to identify and discriminate drug resistance in AML cells. Our study demonstrates the power of ML to classify drug-induced resistance in AML cells utilizing subtle variations in biomolecular information contained in molecular spectroscopic data by obtaining 94.11% and 97.05% classification accuracies by LDA and LR models, respectively. We also showed that the ML methods are discernable. Our findings depict the importance of automation and its optimal usage in cancer study and diagnosis. The results of our study are expected to take ML-assisted Raman spectroscopy one step closer to making it a generalized tool in medical diagnosis in the future.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a life-threatening disease with low survival rates. In most cases, disease relapse is observed due to induced drug resistance. Here, we propose a rapid machine learning-assisted Raman spectroscopy method to discriminate drug-sensitive AML cell line HL-60 from drug resistant HL-60/MX2 cell line which can help to identify development of resistance in early stages. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and logistic regression (LR) models were developed for stratification of cellular Raman spectra obtained from these two groups with accuracies over 94%. The misclassified Raman spectra were investigated in detail, and the reasons for misclassification were elucidated at the biomolecular level making the models clearly discernable. image

Title: Granular computing based segmentation and textural analysis (GrCSTA) framework for object-based LULC classification of fused remote sensing images
Author(s): Pinheiro, G (Pinheiro, Greetta); Minz, S (Minz, Sonajharia)

Abstract: Machine learning(ML) based techniques for Land Use Land Cover(LULC) classification is crucial for extracting valuable insights from satellite imagery. The impact of severe class imbalance problems on LULC datasets, added to the limited temporal coverage, incomplete spectral information, spatial resolution constraints, and limitations due to sensor characteristics of a single satellite, hinder the efficient capturing of complex image features. The object-based classification using Gray-level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM) and Simple Non-Iterative Clustering(SNIC) captures the textural and spectral information, respectively, to enhance the accuracy in heterogeneous landscapes and overcome the limitations of pixel-based classification, such as the sensitivity towards noise and spectral confusion in mixed pixels at the cost of increased additional computational steps. In this context, the proposed study leverages high-quality fused images with diverse temporal, spectral, and spatial information obtained by fusing Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite imageries using Spatial-and-Temporal-Adaptive-Reflectance-Fusion-Model(STARFM). Further, to solve the class imbalance problem, a Granular Computing(GrC) based Segmentation and Textural Analysis(GrCSTA) framework is proposed for reducing the number of image primitives and computations required for subsequent image analysis processes in the object-based classification. The GrCSTA framework focuses on extracting the Spatial Granules(Gs) from the fused imagery using Spatial neighborhood Granulation(SNGr), textural indices of the Gs using GLCM, and reduced textural indices using Principal Component Analysis(PCA). Gs and its reduced textural indices are input features to train the Random Forest(RF) classifier. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed GrCSTA framework achieves comparably higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art models.

Title: Noradrenaline enhances Na-K ATPase subunit expression by HuR-induced mRNA stabilization and their transportation to the cell surface through PLC and PKC mediated pathway: Implications with REMS-loss associated disorders

Abstract: Rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) maintains brain excitability at least by regulating Na-K ATPase activity. Although REMS deprivation (REMSD)-associated elevated noradrenaline (NA) increases Na-K ATPase protein expression, its mRNA transcription did not increase. We hypothesized and confirmed both in vivo as well as in vitro that elevated mRNA stability explains the apparent puzzle. The mRNA stability was measured in control and REMSD rat brain with or without in vivo treatment with alpha 1-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonist, prazosin (PRZ). Upon REMSD, Na-K ATPase alpha 1-, and alpha 2-mRNA stability increased significantly, which was prevented by PRZ. To decipher the molecular mechanism of action, we estimated NA-induced Na-K ATPase mRNA stability in Neuro-2a cells under controlled conditions and by transcription blockage using Actinomycin D (Act-D). NA increased Na-K ATPase mRNA stability, which was prevented by PRZ and propranolol (PRP, beta-AR antagonist). The knockdown assay confirmed that the increased mRNA stabilization was induced by elevated cytoplasmic abundance of Human antigen R (HuR) and involving (Phospholipase C) PLC-mediated activation of Protein Kinase C (PKC). Additionally, using cell-impermeable Enz-link sulfo NHS-SS-Biotin, we observed that NA increased Na-K ATPase alpha 1-subunits on the Neuro-2a cell surface. We conclude that REMSD-associated elevated NA, acting on alpha 1- and beta-AR, increases nucleocytoplasmic translocation of HuR and increases Na-K ATPase mRNA stability, resulting in increased Na-K ATPase protein expression. The latter then gets translocated to the neuronal membrane surface involving both PKC and (Protein Kinase A) PKA-mediated pathways. These findings may be exploited for the amelioration of REMSD-associated chronic disorders and symptoms.

Abstract: In a highly multilingual country like India, challenges and opportunities arise in education and language policy. Although multilingualism is often associated with developmental advantages, Indian primary school children generally show low learning outcomes, specifically on literacy. Here we examine the influence of mother tongue education and multilingualism on the reading skills and reading comprehension of 1272 Indian primary school children from low SES homes. The children performed the ASER literacy task in both the regional, majority language and in English, which was followed by newly developed reading comprehension questions. The results show that minority language speakers from monolingual households-who do not receive mother tongue education-underperform compared to majority language speakers when reading in the majority language. When reading in English, growing up in a multilingual household improves children’s performance. Finally, in sites which have a larger proportion of mother tongue-educated children, children perform better in literacy in the regional language and worse in English. Overall, these results provide insight into the influence of mother tongue education and multilingualism on reading abilities and show that more support is needed for minority language speakers to develop literacy in the majority language, and for all children to develop literacy in English.

Abstract: We have developed a highly sensitive and reliable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe using nitro-dopamine (ND) and dopamine (DA) coated MnO2 nanosheet (ND@MnO2 NS and DA@MnO2 NS) as an energy acceptor and MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) as an energy donor. By employing surface-modified MnO2 NS, we can effectively reduce the fluorescence intensity of MoS2 QDs through FRET. It can reduce MnO2 NS to Mn2+ and facilitate the fluorescence recovery of the MoS2 QDs. This ND@MnO2 NS@MoS2 QD-based nanoprobe demonstrates excellent sensitivity to GSH, achieving an LOD of 22.7 nM in an aqueous medium while exhibiting minimal cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, our sensing platform shows high selectivity to GSH towards various common biomolecules and electrolytes. Confocal fluorescence imaging revealed that the nanoprobe can image GSH in A549 cells. Interestingly, the ND@MnO2 NS nanoprobe demonstrates no cytotoxicity in living cancer cells, even at concentrations up to 100 mu g mL(-1). Moreover, the easy fabrication and eco-friendliness of ND@MnO2 NS make it a rapid and simple method for detecting GSH. We envision the developed nanoprobe as an incredible platform for real-time monitoring of GSH levels in both extracellular and intracellular mediums, proving valuable for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.<br />

Abstract: Electrolytes have recently regained significant attention in rechargeable batteries due to the discovery that the electrolyte microstructures play a determinant role in battery performance. By adjusting the compositions of electrolytes to cater to various functionalities, such as high-voltage, fast-charging, wide-temperature operation, and non-flammable features, a diverse range of batteries can be developed to adapt to different environmental working conditions. Nevertheless, elucidating the electrolyte microstructures and understanding the associated electrode interfacial behaviors remain challenging. These challenges arise from the interdisciplinary nature of the research, encompassing subjects such as solution chemistry, interface chemistry, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. This topic holds particular significance because solution chemistry and solution-solid interface chemistry are ubiquitous in daily lives, yet their behaviors remain unclear due to their inherent complexity, dynamic nature, and rapid variability. In this context, electrolyte and electrolyte-electrode interface research are used as an illustrative example and summarize their progress from six key perspectives of graphic, quantitation, visualization, standardization, digitization, and intelligence. It is aimed to provide a multi-faceted understanding of electrolyte microstructures and their behaviors on the electrode interface. This comprehensive approach enables the effective design of electrolytes and enhances the accuracy of predicting battery performance, servicing the development of solution and solution-solid interface.

Abstract: We present comprehensive numerical results from a study of model H, which describes phase separation kinetics in binary fluid mixtures. We study the pattern dynamics of both density and velocity fields in d = 2, 3. The density length scales show three distinct regimes, in accordance with analytical arguments. The velocity length scale shows a diffusive behavior. We also study the scaling behavior of the morphologies for density and velocity fields and observe dynamical scaling in the relevant correlation functions and structure factors. Finally, we study the effect of quenched random field disorder on spinodal decomposition in model H.

Title: Fluctuation theorem as a special case of Girsanov theorem
Author(s): Dutta, A (Dutta, Annwesha); Sarkar, S (Sarkar, Saikat)

Abstract: Stochastic thermodynamics is an important development in the direction of finding general thermodynamic principles for non-equilibrium systems. We believe stochastic thermodynamics has the potential to benefit from the measure-theoretic framework of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Toward this, in this work, we show that fluctuation theorem (FT) is a special case of the Girsanov theorem, which is an important result in the theory of SDEs. We report that by employing Girsanov transformation of measures between the forward and the reversed dynamics of a general class of Langevin dynamic systems, we arrive at the integral fluctuation relation. Following the same approach, we derive the FT also for the overdamped case. Our derivation is applicable to both transient and steady state conditions and can also incorporate diffusion coefficients varying as a function of state and time, e.g. in the context of multiplicative noise. We expect that the proposed method will be an easy route towards deriving the FT irrespective of the complexity and non-linearity of the system.

Abstract: The presence of drug-resistant variants of Plasmodium parasites within the population has presented a substantial obstacle to the eradication of Malaria. As a result, numerous research groups have directed their efforts towards creating new medication candidates that specifically target parasites. In this study, our main objective was to identify tri-peptide inhibitors for Plasmodium falciparum Dihydrofolate Reductase (PfDHFR) with the aim of finding a new peptide that exhibits superior binding properties compared to the current inhibitor, WR99210. In order to achieve this objective, a virtual library consisting of 8000 tripeptides was generated and subjected to computational screening against wild-type PfDHFR. The purpose of this screening was to discover the most effective binders at the active site. The four most optimal tripeptides identified (Trp-Trp-Glu, Trp-Phe-Tyr, Phe-Trp-Trp, Tyr-Trp-Trp) exhibited significant non-covalent interactions inside the active site of PfDHFR and had binding energies ranging from -9.5 to -9.0 kcal/mol and WR99210 had a binding energy of -6.2 kcal/mol. A 250 ns Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to investigate the kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the protein-ligand complexes. The Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) values for the optimal tripeptides fell within the allowed range, indicating the stability of the ligands inside the protein complex. The K-i value for the most effective tripeptide was 0.3482 mu M, whereas WR99210 had a K-i value of 1.02 mu M. This article presents the initial discovery of peptide inhibitors targeting PfDHFR. In this text, we provide a comprehensive explanation of the interactions that occur between peptides and the enzyme.

Title: Cyclic-NDGA Effectively Inhibits Human γ-Synuclein Fibrillation, Forms Nontoxic Off-Pathway Species, and Disintegrates Preformed Mature Fibrils
Author(s): Singh, SL (Singh, Sneh Lata); Bhat, R (Bhat, Rajiv)

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease arises from protein misfolding, aggregation, and fibrillation and is characterized by LB (Lewy body) deposits, which contain the protein alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) as their major component. Another synuclein, gamma-synuclein (gamma-syn), coexists with alpha-syn in Lewy bodies and is also implicated in various types of cancers, especially breast cancer. It is known to seed alpha-syn fibrillation after its oxidation at methionine residue, thereby contributing in synucleinopathy. Despite its involvement in synucleinopathy, the search for small molecule inhibitors and modulators of gamma-syn fibrillation remains largely unexplored. This work reveals the modulatory properties of cyclic-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (cNDGA), a natural polyphenol, on the structural and aggregational properties of human gamma-syn employing various biophysical and structural tools, namely, thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence, Rayleigh light scattering, 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid binding, far-UV circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, ITC, molecular docking, and MTT-toxicity assay. cNDGA was observed to modulate the fibrillation of gamma-syn to form off-pathway amorphous species that are nontoxic in nature at as low as 75 mu M concentration. The modulation is dependent on oxidizing conditions, with cNDGA weakly interacting (K-d similar to 10(-5) M) with the residues at the N-terminal of gamma-syn protein as investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking, respectively. Increasing cNDGA concentration results in an increased recovery of monomeric gamma-syn as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate and native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The retention of native structural properties of gamma-syn in the presence of cNDGA was further confirmed by far-UV CD and FTIR. In addition, cNDGA is most effective in suppression of fibrillation when added at the beginning of the fibrillation kinetics and is also capable of disintegrating the preformed mature fibrils. These findings could, therefore, pave the ways for further exploring cNDGA as a potential therapeutic against gamma-synucleinopathies.

Abstract: RAD54 and BLM helicase play pivotal roles during homologous recombination repair (HRR) to ensure genome maintenance. BLM amino acids (aa 181-212) interact with RAD54 and enhance its chromatin remodeling activity. Functionally, this interaction heightens HRR, leading to a decrease in residual DNA damage in colon cancer cells. This contributes to chemoresistance in colon cancer cells against cisplatin, camptothecin, and oxaliplatin, eventually promoting tumorigenesis in preclinical colon cancer mouse models. ChIP-Seq analysis and validation revealed increased BLM and RAD54 corecruitment on the MRP2 promoter in camptothecin-resistant colon cancer cells, leading to BLM-dependent enhancement of RAD54mediated chromatin remodeling. We screened the Prestwick small -molecule library, with the intent to revert camptothecinand oxaliplatin-induced chemoresistance by disrupting the RAD54-BLM interaction. Three FDA/European Medicines Agency-approved candidates were identified that could disrupt this interaction. These drugs bound to RAD54, altered its conformation, and abrogated RAD54-BLM-dependent chromatin remodeling on G5E4 and MRP2 arrays. Notably, the small molecules also reduced HRR efficiency in resistant lines, diminished anchorage -independent growth, and hampered the proliferation of tumors generated using camptothecinand oxaliplatin-resistant colon cancer cells in both xenograft and syngeneic mouse models in BLM-dependent manner. Therefore, the 3 identified small molecules can serve as possible viable candidates for adjunct therapy in colon cancer treatment.

Abstract: Plant disease diagnosis in smart agriculture is a crucial issue that carries substantial economic significance on a global scale. To address this challenge, intelligent and smart agricultural solutions are currently being developed to assist farmers in implementing preventive measures to increase crop production. As deep learning technology continues to evolve, many convolutional neural network (CNN) models have emerged as highly effective for detecting plant leaf diseases. These CNN-based models require heavy computation and processing cost. So, this paper develops a new lightweight deep convolutional neural network named lightweight DenseNet (LWDN) for detection of plant leaf disease for agricultural applications. Based on the DenseNet121 architecture, the presented model comprises pruned and concatenated architecture of DenseNet121. The presented study involved training and testing a proposed model (LWDN) on the PlantVillage dataset to acquire a knowledge of plant disease features. The model was trained using a combination of partial layer freezing, transfer learning, and feature fusion techniques. Out of several models experimented with, the proposed model has 99.37% classification accuracy, a model size of 13.8 MB, with 1.5 M parameters. The proposed model has 93% fewer parameters than InceptionV3 and Xception and 90% and 50% fewer parameters compared to VGG16 and MobileNetV2, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method has superior diagnostic capabilities compared to several prior studies and larger state-of-the-art models utilizing plant leaf images. The compact size and competitive accuracy of the LWDN model render it appropriate for real-time plant diagnosis on portable and mobile devices with restricted computational resources.

Abstract: The sensor-enabled in-vehicle communication and infrastructure-centric vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications have significantly contributed to the spark in the amount of data exchange in the connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) environment. The growing vehicular communications pose a potential cyber security risk considering online vehicle hijacking. Therefore, there is a critical need to prioritize the cyber security issues in the CAV research theme. In this context, this paper presents a cyber security analysis of connected vehicle traffic environments (CyACV). Specifically, potential cyber security attacks in CAV are critically investigated and validated via experimental data sets. Trust in V2X communication for connected vehicles is explored in detail focusing on trust computation and trust management approaches and related challenges. A wide range of trust-based cyber security solutions for CAV have been critically investigated considering their strengths and weaknesses. Open research directions have been highlighted as potential new research themes in CAV cyber security area.
The paper critically evaluates the CAV structure and component vulnerabilities, validates the identified attacks, and analyzes the trust-based security solutions categorized according to the suggested trust taxonomy. image

Title: Cytoskeleton remodeling: a central player in plant-fungus interactions

Abstract: The eukaryotic cytoskeleton is a complex scaffold consisting of actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Although fungi and plants lack intermediate filaments, their dynamic structural network of actin filaments and microtubules regulates cell shape, division, polarity, and vesicular trafficking. However, the specialized functions of the cytoskeleton during plant-fungus interactions remain elusive. Recent reports demonstrate that the plant cytoskeleton responds to signal cues and pathogen invasion through remodeling, thereby coordinating immune receptor trafficking, membrane microdomain formation, aggregation of organelles, and transport of defense compounds. Emerging evidence also suggests that cytoskeleton remodeling further regulates host immunity by triggering salicylic acid signaling, reactive oxygen species generation, and pathogenesis-related gene expression. During host invasion, fungi undergo systematic cytoskeleton remodeling, which is crucial for successful host penetration and colonization. Furthermore, phytohormones act as an essential regulator of plant cytoskeleton dynamics and are frequently targeted by fungal effectors to disrupt the host’s growth-defense balance. This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of cytoskeleton dynamics during plant-fungus interactions and provides novel insights into the relationship between phytohormones and cytoskeleton remodeling upon pathogen attack. We also highlight the importance of fungal cytoskeleton rearrangements during host colonization and suggest directions for future investigations in this field.
This review discusses the role of cytoskeleton dynamics during plant-fungus interactions and highlights the importance and regulation of cytoskeleton remodeling during plant defense and fungal pathogenicity.

Title: Drivers of perceived discrimination among older adults in India: an intersectional analysis

Abstract: Discrimination is harmful action taken against individuals or groups to protect customary relations of power and privilege. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to experiences of discrimination that adversely affect their quality of life. We use data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI; Wave 1; 2017-2018) to examine different contextual forces that shape the experiences of discrimination in older adults in India, specifically gender, caste, and economic condition. We used the theory of intersectionality to hypothesize that economic condition, caste, and gender combine uniquely to engender perceived discrimination in older adults. We first used a concentration index to determine the sample’s pre-existing inequality levels. The concentration curve evidenced a disproportionate concentration of discrimination among people with low income. Next, we used a three-way ANCOVA to examine the effects of caste, gender, and economic condition on individuals’ experiences of discrimination. A significant interaction effect of caste, gender, and economic condition [F(1, 30,394) = 8.91 p = 0.003] evidenced the compounding effects of inequalities on experiences of discrimination. Finally, we ran a moderation model to test the ameliorating effects of education on experiences of discrimination experienced by marginalized castes. The model was significant (beta= -0.192; p < 0.001), thereby supporting the proposition that increased education level can lead to an increased sense of belonging and perceptions of equal treatment, which relate negatively to perceived discrimination. Results are discussed considering intersectionality in peoples’ struggles and resilience in India.

Abstract: The crystal structure of the metal-organic framework (MOF), {Mn-2(1,4-bdc)(2)(DMF)(2)}(n) (1) (1,4-bdcH(2), 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; DMF, N,N-dimethylformamide), is known for a long time; however, its desolvated structure, {Mn-2(1,4-bdc)(2)}(n) (1 ‘), is not yet known. The first-principles-based computational simulation was used to unveil the structure of 1 ‘ that shows the expansion in the framework, leading to pore opening after the removal of coordinated DMF molecules. We have used 1 ‘ that contains open metal sites (OMSs) in the structure in cyanosilylation and CO2 cycloaddition reactions and recorded complete conversions in a solventless setup. The pore opening in 1 ‘ allows the facile diffusion of small aldehyde molecules into the channels, leading to complete conversion. The reactions with larger aldehydes, 2-naphthaldehyde and 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde, also show 99.9% conversions, which are the highest reported until date in solventless conditions. The in silico simulations illustrate that larger aldehydes interact with Mn(II) OMSs on the surfaces, enabling a closer interaction and facilitating complete conversions. The catalyst shows high recyclability, exhibiting 99.9% conversions in the successive reaction cycles with negligible change in the structure. Our investigations illustrate that the catalyst 1 ‘ is economical, efficient, and robust and allows reactions in a solventless greener setup, and therefore the catalysis with 1 ‘ can be regarded as “green catalysis”.

Title: DTMS: A Dual Trust-Based Multi-level Sybil Attack Detection Approach in WSNs
Author(s): Khan, T (Khan, Tayyab); Singh, K (Singh, Karan)
Source: WIRELESS PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS  Volume: 134  Issue: 3  Pages: 1389-1420  DOI: 10.1007/s11277-024-10948-0  Early Access Date: APR 2024  Published Date: 2024 FEB  
Abstract: Sensor networks have emerged as a promising technology for collecting data and capturing information about the physical world. However, these networks are often deployed in harsh and inaccessible environments, making them susceptible to various security attacks. One of the most severe attacks in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the Sybil attack, where a malicious node illegitimately assumes multiple fraudulent identities to deceive and disrupt the network. To address this complex and challenging problem, this paper proposes a dual trust-based multi-level Sybil (DTMS) attack detection approach for WSNs. The approach employs a multi-level detection system that verifies the identity and location of each node. At each level (Cluster Member, Cluster Head, and Base Station), a trust value is calculated based on the node’s behavior. The trust value incorporates both communication trust and data trust, ensuring a satisfactory level of trust before accepting information from a node. The DTMS approach incorporates a dynamic reward and penalty coefficient in the trust function to accurately capture the severity of a node’s behavior. Additionally, data aggregation techniques are employed to reduce communication overhead and conserve energy. The performance of DTMS is evaluated based on various metrics such as the severity of the trust function, true detection rate, false detection rate, residual energy, network lifetime, and packet loss ratio. Simulation results demonstrate that DTMS can effectively detect Sybil nodes, achieving a 100% detection rate in a malicious environment. Furthermore, a comparison with existing schemes highlights the desirable performance of DTMS across multiple parameters, including true detection rate, false detection rate, energy consumption, packet loss rate, and the number of active nodes.

Abstract: The development of terrestrial ecosystems depends greatly on plant mutualists such as mycorrhizal fungi. The global retreat of glaciers exposes nutrient-poor substrates in extreme environments and provides a unique opportunity to study early successions of mycorrhizal fungi by assessing their dynamics and drivers. We combined environmental DNA metabarcoding and measurements of local conditions to assess the succession of mycorrhizal communities during soil development in 46 glacier forelands around the globe, testing whether dynamics and drivers differ between mycorrhizal types. Mycorrhizal fungi colonized deglaciated areas very quickly (< 10 yr), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi tending to become more diverse through time compared to ectomycorrhizal fungi. Both alpha- and beta-diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were significantly related to time since glacier retreat and plant communities, while microclimate and primary productivity were more important for ectomycorrhizal fungi. The richness and composition of mycorrhizal communities were also significantly explained by soil chemistry, highlighting the importance of microhabitat for community dynamics. The acceleration of ice melt and the modifications of microclimate forecasted by climate change scenarios are expected to impact the diversity of mycorrhizal partners. These changes could alter the interactions underlying biotic colonization and belowground-aboveground linkages, with multifaceted impacts on soil development and associated ecological processes.

Title: Brittle bonds: queer relationalities in literary and cinematic forms in India
Author(s): Mokkil, N (Mokkil, Navaneetha)
Source: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT JOURNAL  Volume: 59  Issue: 2  Pages: 312-331  DOI: 10.1093/cdj/bsae012  Early Access Date: APR 2024  Published Date: 2024 APR 20  
Abstract: From factories to hostels, homes to neighbourhoods, how do embodied practices in stratified spaces shape the contemporary terrains of queerness in India? In this article, I analyse two recent cultural texts from India, Neeraj Ghaywan’s and Hansda Sowvender Shekhar’s (2018) novel My Father’s Garden, Speaking Tiger Books, Delhi, to engage with the fraught dynamics of relationality and queerness. My analysis contests any easy celebration of community – by foregrounding the movements of dispossessed protagonists who do not fit into the paradigm of the privileged subject of queer politics. Yet these texts capture the fleeting possibilities of reaching towards one another in spaces carved through the operations of exclusion and discrimination. I bring together two texts in which the direct references to sexual identities formed via governmental or non-governmental networks are largely absent; rather, they ask fundamental questions about the in-between terrain of the relational. The dynamics of distance and connection is opened up in complex ways in these cinematic and literary texts as they create imaginative idioms to explore the brittleness of queer bonds formed through the hierarchized operations of class, caste and ethnicity. Through an analysis of the formal aspects of these texts, and the practices of spectatorship and readership they facilitate, I seek to underline how formations of sexuality in India can be unpacked only through a close engagement with the critical discourse on gender, caste and ethnicity.

Abstract: Ocular drug delivery is constrained by anatomical and physiological barriers, necessitating innovative solutions for effective therapy. Natural polymers like hyaluronic acid, chitosan, and gelatin, alongside synthetic counterparts such as PLGA and PEG, have gained prominence for their biocompatibility and controlled release profiles. Recent strides in polymer conjugation strategies have enabled targeted delivery through ligand integration, facilitating tissue specificity and cellular uptake. This versatility accommodates combined drug delivery, addressing diverse anterior (e.g., glaucoma, dry eye) and posterior segment (e.g., macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy) afflictions. The review encompasses an in-depth exploration of each natural and synthetic polymer, detailing their individual advantages and disadvantages for ocular drug delivery. By transcending ocular barriers and refining therapeutic precision, these innovations promise to reshape the management of anterior and posterior segment eye diseases.

Abstract: In this paper, different concentrations of tetravalent manganese-activated lithium meta-silicate red-emitting phosphors, namely Li2SiO3:xMn(4+) (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol), have been prepared by the solid-state reaction method at 950 degrees C. The structural, thermal, morphological, and optical properties of the sintered phosphors were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), raman, UV-Visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Excitation and emission spectra are used to study optical characteristics, which match well with the commercially visible region. The red emission bands for Li2SiO3:0.02Mn(4+) peak at approximately 642 nm (lambda(ex) = 425 nm) and 717 nm (lambda(ex) = 475 nm), respectively due to the spin-forbidden E-2 -> (4)A(2) transition. The doping concentrations of xMn(4+) in the Li2SiO3 host were investigated, and the correlations between Mn4+ doping concentration and luminescence intensity were examined. The Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) chromatic coordinate graph confirmed the emission color observation in the red region, showed an excellent color purity (CP). In addition, the quantum efficiency (QE) of Li2SiO3:Mn4+ phosphors reached up to 70.51%. The investigation shows that synthesized Li2SiO3:Mn4+ phosphors are beneficial for red Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in solid-state lighting.

Abstract: Geometric Spin Frustration, when sufficiently strong, provides a platform for novel spin textures with emergent phenomena, such as ferroelectricity. This article investigates NiCr2O4, a spinel chromite co-hosting the frustration of Cr3+ spins with orbital frustration of Ni2+ ions, with the latter expected to eradicate the spin frustration by lowering lattice symmetry. Detailed experiments unveil an intriguing reentrant-spin-glass-like behavior alongside the previously known canted ferrimagnetism. Our analysis focuses on the ordering of Cr3+ spins at two distinct sublattices, with one contributing to canted ferrimagnetism, while the other exhibits a local up arrow up arrow down arrow down arrow (spin-frustrated) texture, potentially inducing spin-glass behavior. Density functional theory calculations corroborate the experimental findings, establishing up arrow up arrow down arrow down arrow as the ground state of NiCr2O4. This study presents new prospects for ferroelectricity driven by exchange striction in orbitally ordered spinel chromites.

Abstract: This study examines the gendered division of paid, unpaid, and total work in contemporary India. We explore this division of work through an analysis of India’s first large-scale time use survey, conducted in 2019. Our findings reveal that the distribution of paid, unpaid, and total work is highly gender-biased. We also found that rural women bear relatively more burden of total work than urban women; whereas, urban men bear relatively more burden of total work than rural men. We observed striking gender differences in the paid, unpaid, and total work burden across the key household and individual-level characteristics of age, marital status, presence of children, income status and employment status. Compared to all other categories, married employed women belonging to the working age cohort (15-59) bear the highest burden of total work in India, and hence are left with the least available free time.

Abstract: The essential amino acid histidine plays a central role in the manifestation of several metabolic processes, including protein synthesis, enzyme-catalysis, and key biomolecular interactions. However, excess accumulation of histidine causes histidinemia, which shows brain-related medical complications, and the molecular mechanism of such histidine-linked complications is largely unknown. Here, we show that histidine undergoes a self-assembly process, leading to the formation of amyloid-like cytotoxic and catalytically active nanofibers. The kinetics of histidine self-assembly was favored in the presence of Mg(II) and Co(II) ions. Molecular dynamics data showed that preferential noncovalent interactions dominated by H-bonds between histidine molecules facilitate the formation of histidine nanofibers. The histidine nanofibers induced amyloid cross-seeding reactions in several proteins and peptides including pathogenic A beta(1-42) and brain extract components. Further, the histidine nanofibers exhibited oxidase activity and enhanced the oxidation of neurotransmitters. Cell-based studies confirmed the cellular internalization of histidine nanofibers in SH-SY5Y cells and subsequent cytotoxic effects through necrosis and apoptosis-mediated cell death. Since several complications including behavioral abnormality, developmental delay, and neurological disabilities are directly linked to abnormal accumulation of histidine, our findings provide a foundational understanding of the mechanism of histidine-related complications. Further, the ability of histidine nanofibers to catalyze amyloid seeding and oxidation reactions is equally important for both biological and materials science research.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of IoT systems has caused network congestion and delays in task placement and resource provisioning as usually the tasks are executed at a far location in the cloud. Fog computing reduces the computing burden of cloud data centers as well as the communication burden of the internet as fog resources are placed near the data generation points. Within Fog computing, an important challenge is the optimal task placement which is an NP-class problem. This work applies machine learning for task clustering and addresses the task placement problem in a fog computing environment using a hybrid of two recent metaheuristics; Jaya and gray wolf optimization (GWO). The hybrid method considers optimizing the total number of active fog nodes, load balancing in fog nodes, and average response time of the tasks. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a real-time LCG dataset and is compared with reinforcement learning fog scheduling (RLFS), genetic algorithm (GA), dynamic resource allocation mechanism (DRAM), load balancing and scheduling algorithm (LBSSA), and particle swarm optimization with simulated annealing (PSO-SA) algorithms. The results demonstrate the superiority of the suggested method over the baseline techniques in terms of average improvement of 51.04% in load balance variance, 30.25% in average response time, 24.16% in execution time, and 47.10% in the number of devices used.

Abstract: Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees is an important medicinal plant known for its bioactive compound andrographolide. NAC transcription factors (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) play a crucial role in secondary metabolite production, stress responses, and plant development through hormonal signaling. In this study, a putative partial transcript of three NAC family genes (ApNAC83, ApNAC21 22 and ApNAC02) was used to isolate full length genes using RACE. Bioinformatics analyses such as protein structure prediction, cis-acting regulatory elements, and gene ontology analysis were performed. Based on in silico predictions, the diterpenoid profiling of the plant’s leaves (five-week-old) and the real-time PCR-based expression analysis of isolated NAC genes under abscisic acid (ABA) treatment were performed. Additionally, the expression analysis of isolated NAC genes under MeJA treatment and transient expression in Nicotiana tabacum was performed. Full-length sequences of three members of the NAC transcription factor family, ApNAC83 (1102 bp), ApNAC21 22 (996 bp), and ApNAC02 (1011 bp), were isolated and subjected to the promoter and gene ontology analysis, which indicated their role in transcriptional regulation, DNA binding, ABA-activated signaling, and stress management. It was observed that ABA treatment leads to a higher accumulation of andrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide content, along with the upregulation of ApNAC02 (9.6-fold) and the downregulation of ApNAC83 and ApNAC21 22 in the leaves. With methyl jasmonate treatment, ApNAC21 22 expression decreased, while ApNAC02 increased (1.9-fold), with no significant change being observed in ApNAC83. The transient expression of the isolated NAC genes in a heterologous system (Nicotiana benthamiana) demonstrated their functional transcriptional activity, leading to the upregulation of the NtHMGR gene, which is related to the terpene pathway in tobacco. The expression analysis and heterologous expression of ApNAC21 22 and ApNAC02 indicated their role in andrographolide biosynthesis.

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a significant global public health issue, driven by the rapid adaptation of microorganisms to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Colistin, previously regarded as a last-resort antibiotic for treating infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, is increasingly becoming resistant due to chromosomal mutations and the acquisition of resistance genes carried by plasmids, particularly the mcr genes. The mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr-1) was first discovered in E. coli from China in 2016. Since that time, studies have reported different variants of mcr genes ranging from mcr-1 to mcr-10, mainly in Enterobacteriaceae from various parts of the world, which is a major concern for public health. The co-presence of colistin-resistant genes with other antibiotic resistance determinants further complicates treatment strategies and underscores the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship efforts. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms driving colistin resistance and monitoring its global prevalence are essential steps in addressing the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and preserving the efficacy of existing antibiotics. This review underscores the critical role of colistin as a last-choice antibiotic, elucidates the mechanisms of colistin resistance and the dissemination of resistant genes, explores the global prevalence of mcr genes, and evaluates the current detection methods for colistin-resistant bacteria. The objective is to shed light on these key aspects with strategies for combating the growing threat of resistance to antibiotics.

Abstract: Background: Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) forms the most common type of kidney stones observed in clinics, elevated levels of urinary oxalate being the principal risk factor for such an etiology. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the anti-nephrolithiatic effect of herbo-mineral formulation, Lithom. Methods: The in vitro biochemical synthesis of COM crystals in the presence of Lithom was performed and observations were made by microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) based analysis for the detection of crystal size and morphology. The phytochemical composition of Lithom was evaluated by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC). The in vivo model of Ethylene glycol-induced hyperoxaluria in Sprague-Dawley rats was used for the evaluation of Lithom. The animals were randomly allocated to 5 different groups namely Normal control, Disease control (ethylene glycol (EG), 0.75%, 28 days), Allopurinol (50 mg/kg, q.d.), Lithom (43 mg/kg, b.i.d.), and Lithom (129 mg/kg, b.i.d.). Analysis of crystalluria, oxalate, and citrate levels, oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase, myeloperoxidase (MPO)), and histopathology by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Von Kossa staining was performed for evaluation of Lithom. Results: The presence of Lithom during COM crystals synthesis significantly reduced the average crystal area, feret’s diameter, and area-perimeter ratio, in a dose-dependent manner. SEM analysis revealed that COM crystals synthesized in the presence of 100 and 300 mu g/mL of Lithom exhibited a veritable morphological transition from irregular polygons with sharp edges to smoothened smaller cuboid polygons. UHPLC analysis of Lithom revealed the presence of Trigonelline, Bergenin, Xanthosine, Adenosine, Bohoervinone B, Vanillic acid, and Ellagic acid as key phytoconstituents. In EG-induced SD rats, the Lithom-treated group showed a decrease in elevated urinary oxalate levels, oxidative stress, and renal inflammation. Von Kossa staining of kidney tissue also exhibited a marked reduction in crystal depositions in Lithom-treated groups. Conclusion: Taken together, Lithom could be a potential clinical-therapeutic alternative for management of nephrolithiasis.

Abstract: Utilizing first-principles calculations and the Boltzmann transport equation under the constant relaxation time approximation, the electronic and thermoelectric properties of doped half-Heusler (HH) LuPdBi(0.75)Z(0.25) (Z = P, As, Sb) compounds have been explored. The mechanical stability of the resulting compounds is confirmed via computed values of various elastic constants. Our findings demonstrate that the substitution of Bi-atom with P, As, or Sb atoms significantly enhances the Seebeck coefficient. This enhancement leads to an increase in the power factor value up to similar to 4.69 x 10(11) W/m.K-2.sec for the LuPdBi0.75Sb0.25 compound at 700 K. Additionally, Sb doping leads to a decrease in the lattice thermal conductivity, from 4.44 to 1.07 W/m.K for LuPdBi and LuPdBi0.75Sb0.25 compounds, respectively. At 700 K, the computed figure of merit (ZT) values for pure and Sb-doped LuPdBi compounds are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Our investigation suggests that the LuPdBi compound has the potential as an effective thermoelectric material with suitable Sb doping.

Abstract: Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) are gaining considerable attention to reduce human dependence on fossil fuels and minimize harmful gases in our surroundings. Existing literature on energy trading focused on providing renewable energy to smart homes, smart buildings, and smart offices to fulfill their daily energy demands obtained from RESs. Besides, Electric Vehicles (EVs) use either power grid energy or a battery exchange mechanism to recharge their low EV batteries. The continuous use of power grids to recharge low EV batteries causes a significant load on power grids. Due to this, power grids are inadequate to fulfill the ever-increasing demands of EVs in the future. In this context, we propose a Blockchain Enabled Energy Trading (BEET) framework oriented EV charging. A system architecture of the BEET framework is presented to describe the functioning of each layer and its associated entities. We formulate an optimization problem that maximizes the revenue in the energy trading process using a knapsack optimization. Smart contracts are designed on the consortium blockchain network to sell and buy renewable energy to aggregators and from producers, respectively. Moreover, an EV charging mechanism is designed to intelligently allocate renewable energy to consumers at a low price. A comparative analysis is performed with state-of-the-art works in terms of charging price, revenue, throughput, and latency. The results indicate that the BEET framework outperforms compared to state-of-the-art works to address the renewable energy demand problem to realize E-mobility. It is clarified that the data considered in the experimental analysis were obtained from statistical simulations in realistic E-Mobility environment settings.

Abstract: Environmental monitoring and the detection of antibiotic contaminants require expensive and time-consuming techniques. To overcome these challenges, gold nanoparticle-mediated fluorometric “turn-on” detection of Polymyxin B (PMB) in an aqueous medium was undertaken. The molecular weight of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-dependent physicochemical tuning of gold nanoparticles (PEI@AuNPs) was achieved and employed for the same. The three variable molecular weights of branched polyethyleneimine (MW 750, 60, and 1.3 kDa) molecules controlled the nano-geometry of the gold nanoparticles along with enhanced stabilization at room temperature. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized through various advanced techniques. The results revealed that polyethyleneimine-stabilized gold nanoparticles (PEI@AuNP-1-3) were 4.5, 7.0, and 52.5 nm in size with spherical shapes, and the zeta potential values were 29.9, 22.5, and 16.6 mV, respectively. Accordingly, the PEI@AuNPs probes demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity, with a linear relationship curve over a concentration range of 1-6 mu M for polymyxin B. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 8.5 nM. This is the first unique report of gold nanoparticle nano-geometry-dependent FRET-based turn-on detection of PMB in an aqueous medium. We believe that this approach would offer a complementary strategy for the development of a highly sophisticated and advanced sensing system for PMB and act as a template for the development of new nanomaterial-based engineered sensors for rapid antibiotic detection in environmental as well as biological samples.

Abstract: Morganella morganii is a gram negative, facultative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, commonly found in environment and in the intestine of human, mammals, and reptiles as a part of their gut microbiome. M. morganii can cause Gram-negative folliculitis, black nail infection, acute retiform purpura, fetal demise, and subdural empyema. The increasing frequency of M. morganii infections generate the need for efficient methods to enrich the presence of M. morganii in clinical samples to make its detection easier. Culturomics aims to grow and maximize the number of culturable bacteria. Different methods are followed to maximize the growth of minority population of bacteria by disrupting the growth of bacteria which are present in higher concentration. This article presents a method for selective enriching the M. morganii in human fecal samples. This method includes prior incubation of fecal microbiota in an anaerobic environment, adding supplement like fecal water to give dormant bacteria a break to become active to grow to threshold concentration, and an enrichment stage which provides the additional opportunity of growing to M. morganii on the selective medium. This method also provides an ingenuous way for augmenting the growth of fecal M. morganii species.

Abstract: This study investigates the trend in the projected rainfall and temperature over undivided Sudan and its major cities of political, trade, and agricultural significance under two different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs; RCP2.6 and RCP8.5). Available high-resolution datasets from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment- Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluations (CORDEX-CORE) at a resolution of 25 km along with their ensemble are considered. The study analyzes projected climate conditions, with a specific emphasis on the near future (2036-2060) and far future (2071-2095). The rainfall distribution is projected to decline across South Sudan (undivided Sudan) under RCP2.6 (RCP8.5). The projected temperature is significantly increasing while rainfall is decreasing across all cities, with these trends being more pronounced under the RCP8.5 scenario. These changes could potentially result in various climate extremes such as severe heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, which could have significant impacts on the ecosystems, agriculture, public health and ultimately, the livelihood and socio-economic condition of the people. The findings of the study will assist the governments, local administration and town planners in formulating short-term and long-term strategies for adaptation and mitigation, aimed at reducing the impacts of climate change. The study suggests specific measures to address the extreme heat and water deficit at the local scale, hence making it a valuable policy document for addressing the changing climate in undivided Sudan.

Title: Dielectrically-Modulated GANFET Biosensor for Label-Free Detection of DNA and Avian Influenza Virus: Proposal and Modeling

Source: ECS JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY  Volume: 13  Issue: 4  Article Number: 047001  DOI: 10.1149/2162-8777/ad3364  Published Date: 2024 APR 1  
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel device called the Gate All Around Engineered Gallium Nitride Field Effect Transistor (GAAE-GANFET), designed specifically for label-free biosensing applications. This innovative gate-all-around engineering in GANFET integrates various device engineering techniques, such as channel engineering, gate engineering, and oxide engineering, to enhance biosensing performance. The channel engineering techniques refer to the use of a gallium nitride channel with a step-graded doping profile, divided into three distinct regions. In contrast, the gate engineering technique refers to the cylindrical split-gate-underlap architecture. The oxide engineering technique involves stacking Al2O3 and HfO2. Moreover, this biosensor incorporates two-sided gate underlap cavities that facilitate the immobilization of biomolecules. These open cavities not only provide structural stability but also simplify the fabrication process to a significant extent. The viability of this biosensor as a label-free biosensor has been evaluated using an antigen and an antibody from the Avian Influenza virus and DNA as the target biomolecules. The proposed analytical model and TCAD simulation results are in excellent agreement, demonstrating the reliability of the proposed device. Additionally, the biosensor’s sensitivity, which depends on cavity length, doping concentration, gate metal work function, and temperature variation, has been thoroughly explored. The gate-all-around structure, along with the integration of tri-step graded doping, GaN as the channel material, gate oxide stacking, and dual open cavity structure in the proposed biosensor, leads to significantly improved biosensing capabilities.

Abstract: Inhibition of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is one of the strategies that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) employs as its defence mechanism. In this study, the role of PPE15 (Rv1039c), a late -stage protein, has been investigated in modulating the cellular ROS. We discovered PPE15 to be a secretory protein that downregulates ROS generation in THP1 macrophages. Our in-silico analysis revealed the presence of a eukaryote-like SH3 (SH3e) domain in PPE15. The predicted SH3e-domain of PPE15 was found to interact with cytosolic components of NADPH Oxidase (NOX), p67phox and p47phox through molecular docking. In-vitro experiments using THP1 macrophages showed a diminished NADP/NADPH ratio, indicating reduced NOX activity. We also observed increased levels of p67phox and p47phox in the cytoplasmic fraction of PPE15 treated macrophages as compared to the plasma membrane fraction. To understand the role of the SH3e-domain in ROS modulation, this domain was deleted from the full-length PPE15 (PPE15-/-SH3). We observed an increase in cellular ROS and NADP/NADPH ratio in response to PPE15-/-SH3 protein. The interaction of PPE15-/-SH3 with p67phox or p47phox was also reduced in the cytoplasm, indicating migration of NOX subunits to the plasma membrane. Additionally, M. smegmatis expressing PPE15 was observed to be resistant to oxidative stress with significant intracellular survival in THP1 macrophages as compared to M. smegmatis expressing PPE15-/-SH3. These observations suggest that the SH3e-domain of PPE15 interferes with ROS generation by sequestering NOX components that inhibit NOX assembly at the cell membrane. Therefore, PPE15 acts like a molecular mimic of SH3-domain carrying eukaryotic proteins that can be employed by Mtb at late stages of infection for its survival. These findings give us new insights about the pathogen evading strategy of Mtb which may help in improving the therapeutics for TB treatment.

Abstract: Cocrystal hydrates are generally prepared by a solvent-mediated crystallization. Here we report for the first time the growth of crystals of a cocrystal hydrate by sublimation. Furthermore, the cocrystal hydrate exhibits polymorphism in which the polymorphs are interconvertible reversibly through a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion. During polymorphic transformation, the number of crystallographically nonequivalent molecules (Z”) increases in the asymmetric unit with decreasing temperature, which is an unusual phenomenon.

Title: A glutathione-independent DJ-1/Pfp1 domain containing glyoxalase III, OsDJ-1C, functions in abiotic stress adaptation in rice

Abstract: Main conclusionOverexpression of OsDJ-1C in rice improves root architecture, photosynthesis, yield and abiotic stress tolerance through modulating methylglyoxal levels, antioxidant defense, and redox homeostasis.AbstractExposure to abiotic stresses leads to elevated methylglyoxal (MG) levels in plants, impacting seed germination and root growth. In response, the activation of NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase and glutathione (GSH)-dependent glyoxalase enzymes helps to regulate MG levels and reduce its toxic effects. However, detoxification may not be carried out effectively due to the limitation of GSH and NADPH in plants under stress. Recently, a novel enzyme called glyoxalase III (GLY III) has been discovered which can detoxify MG in a single step without needing GSH. To understand the physiological importance of this pathway in rice, we overexpressed the gene encoding GLYIII enzyme (OsDJ-1C) in rice. It was observed that OsDJ-1C overexpression in rice regulated MG levels under stress conditions thus, linked well with plants’ abiotic stress tolerance potential. The OsDJ-1C overexpression lines displayed better root architecture, improved photosynthesis, and reduced yield penalty compared to the WT plants under salinity, and drought stress conditions. These plants demonstrated an improved GSH/GSSG ratio, reduced level of reactive oxygen species, increased antioxidant capacity, and higher anti-glycation activity thereby indicating that the GLYIII mediated MG detoxification plays a significant role in plants’ ability to reduce the impact of abiotic stress. Furthermore, these findings imply the potential of OsDJ-1C in crop improvement programs.
