This article is devoted to develop a numerical approximation called Taylor minimization method for initial and boundary value fractional Pantograph equations, which governs the modelling of the train system, with neutral and multi-term delays. Taylor optimization technique is basically composed of truncated Taylor series approximation of unknown function while employment of procedure is accompanied by an optimization strategy that is simulated annealing for carrying out the learning phase of unknown Taylor series coefficients. The proposed technique is implemented on various models of Pantograph equations to study the applicability and effectiveness of the planned scheme while error analysis and comparison with previous methods are performed to validate the results. To measure the capability of convergence the data for 100 numbers of independent runs is demonstrated in the form of pictorial presentation.

Among various microorganisms, fungi have been found to be comparatively more efficient in the synthesis of nanomaterials. In this research work, extracellular mycosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was probed by reacting the precursor salt of silver nitrate (AgNO3) with culture filtrate of Aspergillus flavus. Initially, the mycosynthesis was regularly monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, which showed AgNP peaks of around 400–470 nm. X-ray diffraction spectra revealed peaks of different intensities with respect to angle of diffractions (2θ) corresponding to varying configurations of AgNPs. Transmission electron micrographs further confirmed the formation of AgNPs in size ranging from 5–30 nm. Combined and individual antibacterial activities of the five conventional antibiotics and AgNPs were investigated against eight different multidrug-resistant bacterial species using the Kirby–Bauer disk-diffusion method. The decreasing order of antibacterial activity (zone of inhibition in mm) of antibiotics, AgNPs, and their conjugates against bacterial group (average) was; ciprofloxacin + AgNPs (23) > imipenem + AgNPs (21) > gentamycin + AgNPs (19) > vancomycin + AgNPs (16) > AgNPs (15) > imipenem (14) > trimethoprim + AgNPs (14) > ciprofloxacin (13) > gentamycin (11) > vancomycin (4) > trimethoprim (0). Overall, the synergistic effect of antibiotics and nanoparticles resulted in a 0.2–7.0 (average, 2.8) fold-area incr
