Abstract

We report the electrochemical activity of transition metal ion (Fe, Co and Ni) doped MnOx@N-graphene (MnOx@NG) hybrid catalysts towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The doped catalysts displayed significantly enhanced electrochemical performance than the undoped one. The Fe doped MnOx@NG exhibited highest positive shift in onset potential (0.93V vs. RHE), highest electron transfer number (n) (3.87) and lowest peroxide yield (6.35 %) in 0.1 M KOH solution. The Co doped catalyst showed highest current density, which is comparable to that of benchmark 20 wt% Pt/C. The XRD analysis showed that the catalyst samples are poorly crystalline and the doping of either Fe or Co or Ni cation induces formation of Mn2O3, whereas the undoped catalyst consists of both Mn2O3 and MnOOH. The STEM (scanning transmission electron microscope) micrographs revealed that in all the samples the MnOx nanostructures are well dispersed on NG and the elemental mapping of the doped catalysts showed uniform distribution of dopants. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies revealed that doping of either cation results an increase in the average Mn valency of the host MnOx. The change in crystal structure and corresponding ORR activity has also been investigated with increase in dopant amount for Fe doped samples.

Abstract

A commercial process was developed to treat a Ca-based Mo-V residue generated in Mo processing plant. Vanadium was selectively leached using acetic acid and recovered as iron vanadate by hydro process. Process conditions for selective V leaching and iron vanadate precipitation were investigated. V recovery efficiency of 90.3% was achieved with a V content of 26.5% and an Fe content of 29% in the iron vanadate cake suitable for ferrovanadium industry. The overall Mo recovery in the whole process was 98.6%. The obtained leach residue containing 14.3% Mo with negligible impurities can be used as a feed material for the Mo production process or ferromolybdenum industry. This simple and economical process generates two product streams from a single operation and has the potential to solve a long standing problem of handling such a mixed Mo-V residue.

Abstract

The dynamic and transitional characteristics of rice field ecosystems provide an excellent environment for integration with compatible components such as fish and duck, which enhances the overall productivity through the effective nutrient recycling. The ecological mechanisms underlying the rice-fish-duck system sustainability have not been studied in detail especially on soil and water chemistry, dynamics of plankton, microbe and benthic populations and their community compositions. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to understand the ecological significance and diversities of organisms in the processes of maintenance of soil health, nutrient recycling and sustainable productivity in different rice-based integrated farming systems. In the integrated system such as rice-fish (RF), rice-duck (RD), and rice-fish-duck (RFD); the physico-chemical parameters of water (dissolved oxygen, nitrate, ammonia, total alkalinity, dissolved organic matter, and total suspended solid) and soil nutrient levels were significantly higher compared to conventional system due to the continuous addition of fecal matters, scooping and churning of soil by fish and ducks in the paddy field ecology. The aquatic biological diversity including planktons (phyto- and zooplankton), soil benthic fauna and microbial populations were dynamic in integrated rice-based system, provides an indication of enhanced soil fertility and production sustainability. The observed decreasing trends of plankton and soil benthic populations in integrated systems (RF, RD and RFD) indicated that fish and ducks fed these materials in rice ecology. Higher productivity and profitability in term of rice equivalent yields (REY) and the ratio of output value and cost of cultivation (OV/CC) were achieved in integrated farming system as compared to conventional rice farming (CRF). Thus, the present study reveals that adoption of rice-fish-duck integrated farming system enhances total farm production and income. Besides, the evaluation of different indicator indices viz., water quality index (WQI) and soil quality index (SQI) have shown a good prediction about ecological aspects of agro-ecosystems and will be helpful in farm management decisions making processes for improving farm productivity, profitability, and overcome any potential limiting factors in the rice-fish-duck integrated farming system. Finally, the present study concluded that rice-fish-duck integration utilizes maximum ecological niches and converted into potential production processes, which enhances farm production, farmer income and improved the soil health through the effective nutrient recycling in the rice ecologies.

Abstract

We present the first measurement of the Michel parameters η ‾ and ξκ in the radiative leptonic decay of the τ lepton using 703 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e − collider. The Michel parameters are measured by an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the kinematic information of e + e − → τ + τ − → ( π + π 0 ν ‾ ) ( l − ν ν ‾ γ ) ( l = e or μ ) . The preliminary values of the measured Michel parameters are η ‾ = − 2.0 ± 1.5 ± 0.8 and ξ κ = 0.6 ± 0.4 ± 0.2 , where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

Abstract

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity for Manganese oxide (MnOx) based nanostructures primarily depend upon their morphology, phase and surface Mn valency. While used in fuel cells or metal air batteries, MnOx undergoes irreversible change with degradation in ORR activity. In the present study, we developed a methodology for electrochemical regeneration of their ORR activity by potentiostatic conditioning. MnOx nanostructures with three different morphologies were grown on N doped graphene (NG) and their ORR activity was measured in alkaline medium by rotating ring disc electrode (RRDE). The catalysts were subjected to two step electrochemical treatment and the ORR activity after each step was monitered by rotating disc electrode (RDE). In the first step, the catalysts were put to 300 electrochemical cycles in the potential window 1.12 to 0.12 V (vs. RHE), and after this step, the ORR onset potential showed negative shift, with decrease in limiting current density. On subsequent potentiaostatic treatment at −0.58 V in O2 atmosphere, partial regeneration of onset potential, electron transfer number (n) and current density were observed. The characteristic redox peaks for MnOx disappeared in the first step and reappeared after the second step. After each step, the catalysts were characterised ex-situ by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It showed that after the first step the decay in ORR activity was due to phase transformation to Mn3O4 with decrease in nominal Mn valency and drastic change in microstructure. Then the activity regeneration after the second step was due to the regeneration of MnOOH phase and Mn valency.

Abstract

The platinum based catalyst exhibits good “oxygen reduction reaction” (ORR) activity while its lower methanol tolerance and high cost obstructs its commercialization. In order to replace this precious metal containing ORR catalysts, transition metal oxides and their composites have been extensively studied. Among the various transition metal oxides, oxides of manganese have attracted massive interest because of their high electrochemical stability, availability, low cost, variable oxidation states and effective catalytic properties. Among the various rare earth oxides, CeO2 is extensively studied. To facilitate the catalytic activity of CeO2, either doping with transition metal and/or integration with a conducting framework is required. In this paper, we have reported the synthesis of manganese doped CeO2/reduced graphene oxide (Mn-CeO2/rGO) nanocomposite with varying manganese concentration using microwave mediated solvothermal method. The ORR activity of synthesized nanocomposites has been studied in basic medium. An optimized 5% Mn doped CeO2/rGO leads to highest ORR activity among the studied catalysts. The synthesized nanocomposite surpasses Pt/C in terms of methanol tolerance and stability.

Abstract

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the outer membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria, are reported to stimulate the immunity of different vertebrates including fish. However, their potency and spectrum of actions often differ among different bacteria. In this study, effect of crude LPS, derived from three species of smooth Gram-negative bacterial fish pathogens viz. Edwardsiella tarda, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescens, on certain innate immune parameters of Indian major carp, Labeo rohita was studied. L. rohita yearlings, when injected intraperitoneally with crude LPS extracted from these bacteria showed little variations in different innate immune parameters. Furthermore, LPS injected fish were protected against a virulent E. tarda challenge. Although, no significant difference (p > 0.05) in most of the immune parameters were found with LPS of different bacteria, the E. coli LPS injected fish elucidated high resistivity during challenge study. Hence, there could be some variations in LPS with respect to the bacterial type which needs to be further explored.

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative bacteria associated with many disease conditions of aquatic animals. Two rough attenuated variants were derived from two smooth virulent types of this bacterium by continuous passage separately in laboratory over a period of 8 years in brain-heart infusion agar. These variants were checked to be rough lipopolysaccharides (LPS) types and attenuated since they neither produced any disease nor mortality in the injected fishes. The immunogenic potential of these variants remained unaltered as compared to parent smooth types and fish immunized with these variants resisted the infection and mortality upon cross challenge. Because of their intact immunogenic potential and loss of virulence, they may be used as candidates for fish immunization.

Abstract

Immunogenicity of different antigen preparations of outer membrane proteins (OMP) of Aeromonas hydrophila such as Poly d, l-lactide-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microparticles, oil emulsion, neat OMP and bacterial whole cells were compared through intra-peritoneal injection in fish, Labeo rohita. Among these preparations, PLGA encapsulated antigen stimulated both innate and adaptive immune parameters and the immunogenicity exhibited by PLGA microparticles was significantly higher (p0.05) at both 21 and 42 days post-immunization suggesting that the above delivery system would be a novel antigen carrier for parenteral immunization in fish, Labeo rohita.

Abstract

We report measurements of the charmless semileptonic decays B0 → π- / ρ- l+ ν and B+ → π0 / ρ0 l+ ν, based on a sample of 2.75 × 108B over(B, ) events collected at the Υ{hooked} (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ e- asymmetric collider. In this analysis, the accompanying B meson is reconstructed in the semileptonic mode B → D(*) l ν, enabling detection of the signal modes with high purity. We measure the branching fractions B (B0 → π- l+ ν) = (1.38 ± 0.19 ± 0.14 ± 0.03) × 10-4, B (B0 → ρ- l+ ν) = (2.17 ± 0.54 ± 0.31 ± 0.08) × 10-4, B (B+ → π0 l+ ν) = (0.77 ± 0.14 ± 0.08 ± 0.00) × 10-4 and B (B+ → ρ0 l+ ν) = (1.33 ± 0.23 ± 0.17 ± 0.05) × 10-4, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, and systematic due to form factor uncertainties, respectively. For each mode we also present the partial branching fractions in three q2 intervals: q2 < 8, 8 ≤ q2 < 16, and q2 ≥ 16 GeV2 / c2. From our partial branching fractions for B → π l ν and recent results for the form factor from unquenched Lattice QCD calculations, we obtain values of the CKM matrix element | Vu b |. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

We have measured the branching fractions for the exclusive decay modes B→χc1(2)K(K∗)B→χc1(2)K(K∗) using a 140 fb−1140 fb−1 data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e−e+e− collider. The measured branching fractions for B+→χc1K+B+→χc1K+, B0→χc1K0B0→χc1K0, B0→χc1K∗0B0→χc1K∗0 and B+→χc1K∗+B+→χc1K∗+ decay modes are (4.5±0.2±0.5)×10−4(4.5±0.2±0.5)×10−4, (3.5±0.3±0.5)×10−4(3.5±0.3±0.5)×10−4, (3.1±0.3±0.7)×10−4(3.1±0.3±0.7)×10−4 and (4.1±0.6±0.9)×10−4(4.1±0.6±0.9)×10−4, respectively, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. We do not observe statistically significant signals for the B→χc2K(K∗)B→χc2K(K∗) decay modes and set upper limits at the 90% confidence level. We also study the helicity distribution for B→χc1K∗B→χc1K∗ decay mode and show that the longitudinal polarization component is dominant.

Abstract

We report measurements of time-dependent decay rates for B 0 → D ∗ ∓ π ± decays and extraction of CP violation parameters related to ϕ 3 . We use a partial reconstruction technique, whereby signal events are identified using information only from the primary pion and the charged pion from the decay of the D ∗ ∓ . The analysis uses 140 fb −1 of data accumulated at the ϒ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e − collider. We measure the CP violation parameters S + = 0.035 ± 0.041 ( stat ) ± 0.018 ( syst ) and S − = 0.025 ± 0.041 ( stat ) ± 0.018 ( syst ) .

Abstract

We present measurements of the branching fraction, the polarization parameters and CP-violating asymmetries in B0→D*+D *- decays using a 140 fb-1 data sample collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e- collider. We obtain B(B0→D*+D*-)=[0. 81±0.08(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10-3, R⊥=0.19±0. 08(stat)±0.01(syst), R0=0.57±0.08(stat)±0.02(syst), S=-0.75±0.56(stat)±0.12(syst) and A=-0.26±0.26(stat) ±0.06(syst). Consistency with Standard Model expectations is also discussed.

Abstract

We present spectra of prompt electrons from decays of neutral and charged B mesons. The results are based on 140 fb −1 of data collected by the Belle detector on the ϒ ( 4 S ) resonance at the KEKB e + e − asymmetric collider. We tag ϒ ( 4 S ) → B B ¯ events by reconstructing a B meson in one of several hadronic decay modes; the semileptonic decay of the other B meson is inferred from the presence of an identified electron. We obtain for charged and neutral B mesons the partial rates of semileptonic decay, to electrons with momentum greater than 0.6 GeV / c in the B rest frame, and their ratio b + / b 0 = 1.08 ± 0.05 ± 0.02 , where the first and second errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Abstract

We have measured π + π − and K + K − production in two-photon collisions using 87.7 fb −1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the asymmetric energy e + e − collider KEKB. The cross sections are measured to high precision in the two-photon center-of-mass energy ( W ) range between 2.4 GeV W 4.1 GeV and angular region | cos θ ∗ | 0.6 . The cross section ratio σ ( γ γ → K + K − ) / σ ( γ γ → π + π − ) is measured to be 0.89 ± 0.04 ( stat. ) ± 0.15 ( syst. ) in the range of 3.0 GeV W 4.1 GeV , where the ratio is energy-independent. We observe a sin −4 θ ∗ behavior of the cross section in the same W range. Production of χ c 0 and χ c 2 mesons is observed in both γ γ → π + π − and γ γ → K + K − modes.

Abstract

We report measurements of radiative B decays with K η γ final states, using a data sample of 253 fb −1 recorded at the ϒ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e − storage ring. We observe B + → K + η γ for the first time with a branching fraction of ( 8.4 ± 1.5 (stat) −0.9 +1.2 (syst) ) × 10 −6 for M K η 2.4 GeV / c 2 , and find evidence of B 0 → K 0 η γ . We also search for B → K 3 ∗ ( 1780 ) γ .

Abstract

We report the observation of B0 decays to the K+π-π0 final state using a data sample of 78 fb-1 collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. With no assumptions about intermediate states in the decay, the branching fraction is measured to be (36.6-4.3+4.2±3.0)×10-6. We also search for B decays to intermediate two-body states with the same K+π-π0 final state. Significant B signals are observed in the ρ(770)-K+ and K*(892)+π- channels, with branching fractions of (15.1-3.3-1.5-2.1+3.4+1.4+2.0)×10-6 and (14.8-4.4-1.0-0.9+4.6+1.5+2.4) ×10-6, respectively. The first error is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the largest possible interference. Contributions from other possible two-body states will be discussed. No CP asymmetry is found in the inclusive K+π-π0 or ρ-K+ modes, and we set 90% confidence level bounds on the asymmetry of -0.12

Abstract

We have searched for neutrinoless τ lepton decays into three charged leptons using an 87.1fb-1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Since the number of signal candidate events is compatible with that expected from the background, we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (1.9-3.5)×10-7 for various decay modes τ -→l-l+l- where l represents e or μ. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
