Abstract

Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) is a member of the AKR1B subfamily. It is mainly found in cytoplasm, and it is typically expressed in the stomach and intestines. Given that its expression is low or absent in other tissues, AKR1B10 is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for various digestive system diseases. Here, we review recent research progress on AKR1B10 in digestive system tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, over the last 5 years. We also discuss the current trends and future research directions for AKR1B10 in both oncological and non-oncological diseases to provide a scientific reference for further exploration of this gene.

Abstract

Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.) are a key food crop in tropical and subtropical regions, notably Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Asia and Africa account for 95% of global production. Sweet potatoes' tendrils, leaves, tubers, and stems are rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, carbs, and proteins. Research indicates that bioactive compounds such as β-carotene, anthocyanins, polyphenols, and phytochemicals can reduce cardiovascular disease risk and have antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-obesity, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects. Beyond food security, sweet potatoes can generate revenue through the creation of functional foods and beverages, such as sour starch, sweet potato curd, lacto-pickles, lacto-juice, acidophilus milk, soy sauce, and alcoholic drinks via solid-state or submerged fermentation. This article aims to comprehensively review the bio-processing of sweet potatoes into industrial products and their phytochemical and therapeutic profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving gut and gastroenterological research field, postbiotics, a fermentation byproduct, are emerging as a cutting-edge alternative in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical environment. These functional bioactive components, which include muropeptides, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), teichoic acids, polysaccharides, cell-free supernatants, short-chain fatty acids, enzymes, bactericidal antibiotics, and vitamins, play an important role in immune system development. This review explores the intricate pathways through which gut microorganisms produce metabolites that contribute to the health-promoting properties of postbiotics. Postbiotics have a variety of appealing qualities, including anticancer, antibacterial, and immunological actions. Their multiple effects include influencing immunological responses, decreasing cancer cell growth, and preventing bacterial infections. Their presence in dairy and plant-based meals is noteworthy, as it provides a perfect matrix for fermentation and a varied range of antibacterial chemicals. This article delves into enhancing understanding of the concept of therapeutic properties of postbiotics in promoting human health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have wide applicability as antimicrobial, biomedical, and anti-cancer drug delivery systems. This study aimed to synthesize Ag-NPs using green methodology to assess their antimicrobial properties and toxicity. Ag-NPs were prepared using doxycycline, an antibiotic serving as a reducing and capping agent. The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry. The antimicrobial efficacy of doxycycline-mediated Ag-NPs was assessed on Candida species in vitro and for toxicity in male albino mice in vivo. The Ag-NPs showed a surface plasmon resonance at 411 nm, indicating a 90 nm average size and spherical shape. Toxicity was tested on mouse organs (liver, kidney, spleen, heart and stomach) using three Ag-NP doses (50, 100, 200 mg/ kg) over 14 days. The synthesized Ag-NPs produced large inhibition zones against two well-known fungal species, C. albicans and C. tropicalis, demonstrating their antimicrobial potential. The Ag-NPs showed varying degrees of toxicity in different mouse organs, depending on the administered dose, with more pronounced adverse effects observed at higher concentrations. Periodic administration of Ag-NPs at low-dose volumes holds promise as a safe approach to their use as antimicrobial agents. Low-dose Ag-NPs are minimally toxic and show strong antimicrobial efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a highly contagious and economically devastating pathogen affecting poultry worldwide, leading to significant losses in the poultry industry. Despite existing vaccines, outbreaks continue to occur, highlighting the need for more effective vaccination strategies. Developing a multi-epitopic peptide vaccine offers a promising approach to enhance protection against NDV. Objectives: Here, we aimed to design and evaluate a multi-epitopic vaccine against NDV using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Methodology: We retrieved NDV sequences for the fusion (F) protein and hemagglutinin–neuraminidase (HN) protein. Subsequently, B-cell and T-cell epitopes were predicted. The top potential epitopes were utilized to design the vaccine construct, which was subsequently docked against chicken TLR4 and MHC1 receptors to assess the immunological response. The resulting docked complex underwent a 1 microsecond (1000 ns) MD simulation. For experimental evaluation, the vaccine's efficacy was assessed in mice and chickens using a controlled study design, where animals were randomly divided into groups receiving either a local ND vaccine or the peptide vaccine or a control treatment. Results: The 40 amino acid peptide vaccine demonstrated strong binding affinity and stability within the TLR4 and MHC1 receptor–peptide complexes. The root mean square deviation of peptide vaccine and TLR4 receptor showed rapid stabilization after an initial repositioning. The root mean square fluctuation revealed relatively low fluctuations (below 3 Å) for the TLR4 receptor, while the peptide exhibited higher fluctuations. The overall binding energy of the peptide vaccine with TLR4 and MHC1 receptors amounted to −15.7 kcal·mol−1 and −36.8 kcal·mol−1, respectively. For experimental evaluations in mice and chicken, the peptide vaccine was synthesized using services of GeneScript Biotech® (Singapore) PTE Limited. Experimental evaluations showed a significant immune response in both mice and chickens, with the vaccine eliciting robust antibody production, as evidenced by increasing HI titers over time. Statistical analysis was performed using an independent t-test with Type-II error to compare the groups, calculating the p-values to determine the significance of the immune response between different groups. Conclusions: Multi-epitopic peptide vaccine has demonstrated a good immunological response in natural hosts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Fimbristylis complanata is an aquatic halophytic sedge that thrives in salt-affected land, marshes, and water channels. Two ecotypes (HR-Rasool headworks ECe 19.45; SH- Sahianwala 47.49 dS m−1) of F. complanata were collected from two salt-affected wetlands of Punjab, Pakistan. Five rhizomes of each ecotype were grown in plastic pots in the Botanical garden research area and treated with three intensities of salt [0 mM (control), 200 mM (moderate), 400 mM (high) NaCl for three durations (0, 15 and 30 days). The pots were arranged using a completely randomized block design (CRD) with three replications. After each duration, sampling was done. The HR ecotype optimally performed better under moderate salt incubation and moderate to higher salt exposure. This ecotype had improved growth traits, including shoot fresh weight (SFW), shoot dry weight (SDW), leaf area (LA), root length (RL), leaf mass fraction (LMF), relative growth rate (RGR), and unit leaf area (ULA) at higher NaCl (400 mM) in comparison with control NaCl (0 mM). This improvement in growth occurs due to the accumulation of photosynthetic pigments, better photosynthesis, and water use efficiency (A/E). The leaf microstructure increased in HR ecotype as midrib (MrT), leaf blade (LTh), bulliform cells (BTh), and cortical cells (CcT) thicknesses to prevent water loss under salinity, increase aerenchymatous area (ArA) for efficient gas movements at moderate salt levels and less exposure time concerning absolute control (0 mM NaCl). The SH ecotype affirmed more tolerance to salt by securing higher biomass (SFW, SDW), increased growth traits (LA, RL, LMF, ULA), photosynthetic pigments (Chl a, b, Car), and maximum photosynthetic performance at high salt regimes and prolonged duration in comparison to control (0 mM NaCl). Additionally, increased MrT, LTh, BTh, ECA, abaxial and adaxial stomatal area, and density, broadened metaxylem and phloem area, large aerenchyma, more cortical cell thickness under moderate to high salt regimes under moderate to high salt levels and time. Overall, changes in morpho-physiological traits and leaf microstructures in both ecotypes are linked to salt tolerance under temporal salt regimes. Our findings suggest that both ecotypes of F. complanata can potentially rehabilitate the salt-affected wetlands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major issue in world health. There is a compelling desire for precise and effective methods for making decisions to determine the most effective technique for treating CVD. Here, we focused on the urgent matter at hand. Pythagorean fuzzy dynamic settings are exceptionally proficient at capturing ambiguity because they can handle complex problem specifications that involve both Pythagorean uncertainty and periodicity. In this article, we introduced a pair of novel aggregation operators: The Pythagorean fuzzy dynamic ordered weighted averaging (PFDOWA) operator and the Pythagorean fuzzy dynamic ordered weighted geometric (PFDOWG) operator, and we proved various structural properties of these concepts. Using these operators, we devised a systematic methodology to handle multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) scenarios incorporating Pythagorean fuzzy data. Moreover, we endeavored to address a MADM problem, where we discerned the most efficacious strategy for the management of CVD through the application of the proposed operators. Finally, we undertook an exhaustive comparative analysis to evaluate the ability of the suggested methods in connection with several developed procedures, therefore demonstrating the reliability of the generated methodologies.

Abstract

Antibiotics are frequently used as growth boosters in animal husbandry. Tetracyclines (TCNs) are among the most widely used antibiotics compared to others, leaving traces in animal‐based foodstuffs like milk and meat. Thus, monitoring of TCNs is paramount, especially in the feedstuff. In the present study, a green method is developed to synthesize magnetic Ag/GO‐Fe3O4 nanocomposites using Azadirachta indica leaf extract. The synthesized adsorbent (Ag/GO‐Fe3O4) was analyzed for the residual extraction of oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) from the fresh milk samples through the magnetic solid‐phase extraction principle. The extraction procedure involved the deproteinization of milk, spiking with antibiotics, followed by magnetic solid‐phase extraction and quantification of TCNs by HPLC with a UV detector. Different factors that affected the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the TCNs like pH, temperature, amount of nanocomposite, and time were studied. The inter‐day and intra‐day precision were calculated for OTC (4% and 6%) and CTC (3% and 4%), respectively. The limit of detection and quantification for OTC was 0.5 and 1.5 μgL−1 and for CTC was 0.2 and 0.6 μgL−1 respectively while the percentage extraction was 94%–96%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Arisaema jacquemontii Blume is a highly medicinal and poisonous plant belong to the family Araceae. It is used to treat several deadly diseases, including viral infections. It has antioxidant, anti-cancerous, antimalarial, anti-vermicidal, and antiviral activities. Therefore, five parts of the Arisaema jacquemontii Blume plant, such as leaf, seed, stem, pulp, and rhizome extract, were evaluated for metabolic and in silico characterization of probable compounds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. A total of 22 compounds were isolated from the methanolic extracts of A. jacquemontii Blume. A selected antiviral COVID-19 protein i.e., protease (6LU7) was docked against the obtained compounds. Different affinities were obtained through various compounds. The best results were shown by three different compounds identified in the rhizome. The maximum binding affinity of these compounds is 8.1 kJ/mol. Molecular docking (MD) indicate that these molecules have the highest binding energies and hydrogen bonding interactions. The binding mode of interaction was discovered to be reasonably effective for counteracting the SARS virus COVID-19. The findings of this study could be extremely useful in the development of more phytochemical-based COVID-19 therapeutics.

Abstract

The production of beauty and charm quarks in ep interactions has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA for exchanged four-momentum squared 5 < Q^2 < 1000 GeV^2 using an integrated luminosity of 354 pb^{-1}. The beauty and charm content in events with at least one jet have been extracted using the invariant mass of charged tracks associated with secondary vertices and the decay-length significance of these vertices. Differential cross sections as a function of Q^2, Bjorken x, jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity were measured and compared with next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. The beauty and charm contributions to the proton structure functions were extracted from the double-differential cross section as a function of x and Q^2. The running beauty-quark mass, m_b at the scale m_b, was determined from a QCD fit at next-to-leading order to HERA data for the first time and found to be 4.07 \pm 0.14 (fit} ^{+0.01}_{-0.07} (mod.) ^{+0.05}_{-0.00} (param.) ^{+0.08}_{-0.05} (theo) GeV., Comment: 63 pages, 14 figures, 20 tables.

Abstract

A two years (2014-15 and 2015-16) field experiment was performed to find out the effect of plastic film and straw mulching on yield, water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and selected soil properties. There were three treatments i.e. control, plastic film and straw mulch. No mulch was added in control. Rice straw was applied on the surface at a rate of 5 Mg ha-1. Soil samples in 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths were taken and analyzed. Soil water contents at 20 cm interval every 7 days were determined in 0-160 cm soil depth before sowing, after harvesting and during growing seasons. Results showed that grain yield was increased significantly by 29.8 in 2014-15 and 35.6% in 2015-16 over that of control under straw mulch. Straw mulch also decreased total water use with an increase in WUE. Soil bulk density was decreased significantly with a significant increase in porosity, water stable aggregates, active carbon, organic matter and soil water contents after harvesting. Soil water storage was higher under straw mulch for most sampling times. In conclusion, mulching soil with straw can sustain wheat yield and improve WUE and soil properties.

Abstract

Context: Despite being a causative agent of gout, uric acid is used as an anti-gout medicine in homeopathy without reported scientific evidence, and such highly diluted medicines lack the exact amount of active ingredient per dose, which is mandatory for pharmacological evaluation. Aims: To determine active contents per tablet and evaluate anti-gout and anti-inflammatory activities of Acid Uric 3× Tablet, a homeopathic anti-gout medicine. Methods: A simple RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of uric acid in Acid Uric 3× Tablet. The standardized tablet was then investigated for anti-gout activity using xanthine oxidase inhibition and potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemia in rats models. The tablet was also investigated for anti-inflammatory activity employing both in vitro and in vivo models. Results: The developed HPLC method was found to be simple, sensitive and precise. Acid Uric 3× Tablet was found to contain 250 µg uric acid/tablet. This medicine inhibited xanthine oxidase activity (IC50 = 12.42 μg/mL) and lowered the serum uric acid in tablet-treated rats (1.02 mg/dL) as compared to toxic group (4.87 mg/dL). The tablet also showed anti-inflammatory activity in heat-induced protein denaturation (IC50 = 4.6 ± 1.0 µg/mL), anti-proteinase (IC50 = 4.64 ± 1.0 µg/mL), heat-induced RBC hemolysis (IC50 = 12.39 ± 1.5 µg/mL) and hypotonicity-induced hemolysis (IC50 = 11.31 ± 1.0 µg/mL). Moreover, significant anti-inflammatory activity was found in the carrageenan-induced rat-paw edema model at a dose of 0.132 mg/kg. Conclusions: The findings of the study indicate that the developed HPLC method may be used to standardize Acid Uric 3× Tablet and provide scientific evidence of lowering uric acid level.

Abstract

The subject of first language (L1) usage or code-switching in relation to L2 (second language) education and learning has been a source of contention in the field of second language acquisition for decades. The assumption that first language (L1) must be used for second language (L2) education and learning has thus been supported by a number of studies, while some other works have provided evidence of the drawbacks of that L1 implementation. As of now, it is widely acknowledged that the idea of "belief" is a key factor influencing second language (L2) education and understanding. The current investigation compares the beliefs of various university teachers and instructors about the use of L1 in language classrooms in two different universities of two main cities, namely The University of Lahore and the National University of Modern Language in Lahore and Multan, respectively. In this research, it has been examined whether or not Multan and Lahore EFL lecturers have similar or divergent views on the use of L1 in their language courses. A questionnaire based on teachers' beliefs was used to collect the data. Twenty EFL teachers from both settings were involved in the study. The research found that the opinions of two EFL teachers regarding the use of L1 for their approach to their subject of classroom management and CS for interpersonal connections were significantly different from one another.

Abstract

The primary purpose of the current study was to study the possible pernicious effects of phosphine gas on enzyme activity alterations in Trogoderma granarium to determine its harmfulness to human beings after its prolonged exposure and intake. The saline extract of the adult Khapra beetle was biochemically analyzed at different doses, that is, from 10ppm to 30ppm, to accurately evaluate the effects of various phosphine concentrations (LC 30 and LC 50 ) on 2 distinct strains of this insect pest gathered from different godowns of Pakistan as resistant (Chitral [Chi], Haroon Abad [Hbd], and Lahore [Lhr]) and susceptible (Faqeer wali [Fqw], Khanewal [Khw], and Rawalpindi [Rwp]) populations. Our experimental results suggest that the enzyme levels (AcP, AkP, ALAT, ASAT, LDH, and ICDH) seemed to be elevated with increasing dosage of phosphine from 10ppm to 30ppm in the resistant populace of the susceptible ones. It also illustrates that phosphine and its residues can inhibit the workability of certain enzymes that are vital for respiration and neuro reactions in hexapods and mammals. It has detrimental effects of phosphine on human health profile to consume stored food products containing such tenacious enemies.

Abstract

In this work, we performed a comparative study between HIJING, Sibyll, and QGSJET model-based event generators. Such Monte Carlo (MC) models are used to simulate the interaction and propagation of high-energy cosmic radiation (e.g., coming from the sun) with the Earth’s atmosphere. The global event observables selected for the study were the transverse momentum (pT) spectra and rapidity density distributions of strange particles (KS0, Λ, and Ξ−). This study was performed in the STAR and CMS fiducial phase spaces by simulating the strange particles in pp collisions at s = 200 GeV, 900 GeV, and 7 TeV, and the simulations were then compared to the experimental measurements. It was observed that none of the discussed model-based event generators ultimately predicted the experimental results, except QGSJET, which generally agrees reasonably with the data. However, QGSJET does not produce Ξ particles; therefore, it does not provide any predictions for Ξ. The other two models reproduced the data only in a limited rapidity or transverse momentum region while mainly underpredicting the data in the rest of the areas. These cosmic radiation simulation models are capable of covering the mid-rapidity regions of density distributions. Utilizing model-based observations, some fundamental parameters can be re-tuned and extrapolations to the highest energies can be investigated. Furthermore, these observations can provide valuable insights that could potentially constrain and improve perturbative- and non-perturbative-based QCD event generators, thereby facilitating a better understanding of the underlying physics.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess 30-day morbidity and mortality rates following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease and identify the factors associated with complications. Summary background data: Although cholecystectomy is common for benign gallbladder disease, there is a gap in the knowledge of the current practice and variations on a global level. Methods: A prospective, international, observational collaborative cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease from participating hospitals in 57 countries between January 1 and June 30, 2022, was performed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify preoperative and operative variables associated with 30-day postoperative outcomes. Results: Data of 21,706 surgical patients from 57 countries were included in the analysis. A total of 10,821 (49.9%), 4,263 (19.7%), and 6,622 (30.5%) cholecystectomies were performed in the elective, emergency, and delayed settings, respectively. Thirty-day postoperative complications were observed in 1,738 patients (8.0%), including mortality in 83 patients (0.4%). Bile leaks (Strasberg grade A) were reported in 278 (1.3%) patients and severe bile duct injuries (Strasberg grades B-E) were reported in 48 (0.2%) patients. Patient age, ASA physical status class, surgical setting, operative approach and Nassar operative difficulty grade were identified as the five predictors demonstrating the highest relative importance in predicting postoperative complications. Conclusion: This multinational observational collaborative cohort study presents a comprehensive report of the current practices and outcomes of cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease. Ongoing global collaborative evaluations and initiatives are needed to promote quality assurance and improvement in cholecystectomy.

Abstract

The current study aims to explore the relationship between Gaming Addiction, Social Behavior, Sleep Deprivation, and Academic Performance among University Students. These variables are essential in the modern era due to their impact on students' well-being and academic success. The sample size for the study was calculated by G power formula and 250 university students (101 men and 149 women) aged 18-25 from various universities in Faisalabad was selected using a convenient sampling technique. The variables were measured using the Gaming Addiction Questionnaire (Douglas Gentile, 2009), Social Behavior Questionnaire (Ledley et al., 1997), Sleep Quality Scale (Healthy Performance, 2020), and Academic Performance Scale (McGregory et al., 2015). A correlational research design was employed, and data was analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and t-tests were used to evaluate the hypotheses. The results indicated that gaming addiction is positively and significantly related to social behavior, while gaming addiction negative association with sleep deprivation, and academic performance. These findings suggest that gaming addiction is associated with poorer sleep quality and lower academic performance, while also impacting social behavior among university students. No significant gender differences were found in terms of gaming addiction, social behavior, sleep deprivation, and academic performance. The study highlights the importance of addressing gaming addiction, sleep deprivation, and their effects on social behavior to improve the academic performance and overall well-being of university students. To conclude, the present research study creates awareness among researchers, educational psychologists, and parents that excessive internet gaming addiction may affect social behavior, sleep quality and academic performance among university students.

Abstract

Introduction: While many low-middle income countries (LMICs), including Pakistan, try and ensure patient safety within available resources, there are considerable concerns with medication use. Unsafe and inappropriate medication use, especially high alert medications (HAMs), is one of the important factors compromising patient safety and quality of care. Besides economic loss, HAMs contribute to greater morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality. Physicians as key members of the provision of healthcare are expected to be well aware of the administration and regulations surrounding HAMs. However, the current status is unknown in Pakistan. Consequently, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the knowledge of Pakistani physicians about the administration, regulation, and practices related to HAMs. This builds on our recently published study with nurses.Methods: An online cross-sectional study design was used, and data were gathered from the physicians throughout Pakistan using previously used self-administered questionnaires during a period of 5 months (January 1 to May 30, 2021). All data were entered and analyzed using SPSS 22 for Windows.Results: Physicians (847) who provided consent were enrolled in the study. Most physicians (62.2%) were male, aged between 25 and 30 years (75.2%) and had 2- to 5-year work experience (50.9%). About 27% were working in the emergency departments. The median (IQR) knowledge score for HAMs administration and regulation was 5 (3) and 5 (2), respectively. About 46.4% of respondents were found to have moderate knowledge about HAMs; increasing age, work experience, and higher qualifications were significantly associated (p

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between different factors affecting the interest of Pakistani blog users reading food blogs using components of the ECT model. Methodology: With the sample size of 392 food blog readers, the study analyzes the impact of expectation confirmation theory, blog user’s involvement, and habit on continuance intention of using the blog, and satisfaction level. Findings: User habit and user involvement both are positively related to factors which are users’ perceived enjoyment, satisfaction, and intention to revisit the blog. Users’ perceived enjoyment is positively related to user satisfaction and intention to revisit the food blog. Findings suggest that when bog users are satisfied, they intend to revisit the blog. Blogging time does not moderate the effect of habit on either perceived enjoyment, satisfaction, or continuance intention. Conclusion: It is concluded from the research that ECT can be applied to examine the satisfaction of blog users and their intention to continue blog use. However, further research is required to analyze the impact of ECT in another context apart from food blog readers and the blogging domain. This research extends the efforts of earlier research as previous research emphasized enjoyment and user involvement and rarely have, they covered the moderating effect caused by blogging time and the effect of blog users’ habits specifically in the food and beverage industry.

Abstract

The production of Z0 bosons in the reaction ep -> eZ0p*, where p* stands for a proton or a low-mass nucleon resonance, has been studied in ep collisions at HERA using the ZEUS detector. The analysis is based on a data sample collected between 1996 and 2007, amounting to 496 pb-1 of integrated luminosity. The Z0 was measured in the hadronic decay mode. The elasticity of the events was ensured by a cut on eta_max < 3.0, where eta_max is the maximum pseudorapidity of energy deposits in the calorimeter defined with respect to the proton beam direction. A signal was observed at the Z0 mass. The cross section of the reaction ep -> eZ0p* was measured to be sigma(ep -> eZ0p*) = 0.13 +/- 0.06 (stat.) +/- 0.01 (syst.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.16 pb. This is the first measurement of Z0 production in ep collisions., Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PLB

Abstract

Measurements of neutral current cross sections for deep inelastic scattering in e+p collisions at HERA with a longitudinally polarised positron beam are presented. The single-differential cross-sections d(sigma)/dQ2, d(sigma)/dx and d(sigma)/dy and the reduced cross-section were measured in the kinematic region Q2 > 185 GeV2 and y < 0.9, where Q2 is the four-momentum transfer squared, x the Bjorken scaling variable, and y the inelasticity of the interaction. The measurements were performed separately for positively and negatively polarised positron beams. The measurements are based on an integrated luminosity of 135.5 pb-1 collected with the ZEUS detector in 2006 and 2007 at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The structure functions F3 and F3(gamma)Z were determined by combining the e+p results presented in this paper with previously published e-p neutral current results. The asymmetry parameter A+ is used to demonstrate the parity violation predicted in electroweak interactions. The measurements are well described by the predictions of the Standard Model., Comment: 46 pages, 10 figures and 15 tables. Version updated after journal review and including full list of authors

Abstract

Inclusive-jet cross sections have been measured in the reaction ep->e+jet+X for photon virtuality Q2 < 1 GeV2 and gamma-p centre-of-mass energies in the region 142 < W(gamma-p) < 293 GeV with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 300 pb-1. Jets were identified using the kT, anti-kT or SIScone jet algorithms in the laboratory frame. Single-differential cross sections are presented as functions of the jet transverse energy, ETjet, and pseudorapidity, etajet, for jets with ETjet > 17 GeV and -1 < etajet < 2.5. In addition, measurements of double-differential inclusive-jet cross sections are presented as functions of ETjet in different regions of etajet. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measurements, except for jets with low ETjet and high etajet. The influence of non-perturbative effects not related to hadronisation was studied. Measurements of the ratios of cross sections using different jet algorithms are also presented; the measured ratios are well described by calculations including up to O(alphas2) terms. Values of alphas(Mz) were extracted from the measurements and the energy-scale dependence of the coupling was determined. The value of alphas(Mz) extracted from the measurements based on the kT jet algorithm is alphas(Mz) = 0.1206 +0.0023 -0.0022 (exp.) +0.0042 -0.0035 (th.); the results from the anti-kT and SIScone algorithms are compatible with this value and have a similar precision., Comment: 53 pages, 17 figures

Abstract

A complex ωphase transition is often observed in titanium alloys; nevertheless, the underlying knowledge of ω-embrittlement are not yet fully understood and require deeper insight. In this study, the ωTand ωHphases, as well as their interfacial structures, have been systematically investigated to examine compositional partitioning and to estimate Z values. A combination of aberration-corrected HAADF-S/TEM advanced characterization techniques, together with first-principles density functional theory calculations were performed under various heat treatment conditions. The results revealed that the low-temperature ageing process suppresses ω-assisted secondary αprecipitations at ωT/βinterfaces, whereas high-temperature ageing process promotes ω-assisted secondary αprecipitations at ωH/βinterface, due to relatively higher concentrations of Mo and Al contents. The interfacial energies (γ{ωβ}) between βand ωphases increase with decreasing local compositions of Mo and Al, suggesting increased stability of the ωphase and decreased stability of the βphase. Furthermore, the formation energies of βand ωphases were computed with Mo content at different Al composition, results indicate that the ωphase transition process is affected by the reduced Al content. The observations of this work provide deeper understanding of the ωphase transition mechanism in titanium alloys.

Abstract

Al/SiC composites having a high-volume fraction of SiC are eye-catching materials in the automobile and aerospace industries. However, their behavior under stringent environments i.e., under high strain rate compression is much different than quasi-static compression. For such conditions, the morphology, interfacial bonding, and the fraction of the SiC play a decisive role in achieving the high performance of the Al/SiC composites. Here, in this study, we reported that a transitional effect of de-bonding and intergranular crack in SiC has occurred in Al–SiC composites having SiC particle size >0.7 μm. Below the 0.7 μm, the diffusion of the Al dislocations is characterized on the boundary of SiC along with the strong interfacial bonding. To prove it, we have fabricated an Al6061/30 vol% SiC composite through powder metallurgy route and subsequently subjected to compression in the range of strain rate 0.001–2100 s−1. In support of our observations, the microstructure was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron backscattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The result also revealed a positive strain rate sensitivity up to a strain rate of 1800 s−1, while for 2100 s−1, the flow stress decreased, which is the cause of adiabatic temperature rise, dynamic recrystallization in Al, and massive cracks and deboning in coarse SiC particles. We also characterized that the SiC having particle size 1–4 μm showed stacking fault and dislocation induced in the SiC due to strong interfacial bonding. A quantitate analysis of dislocation was also established by using the Williamson-Hall technique which further confirmed the dislocation activity and dynamic recrystallization in 2100 s−1, characterized by EBSD and TEM. Thus, this study enables our understating that using the fine SiC particles is promising for achieving the high performance of the Al/SiC composites for use in stringent environments.

Abstract

Antibiotics are frequently used as growth boosters in animal husbandry. Tetracyclines (TCNs) are among the most widely used antibiotics compared to others, leaving traces in animal‐based foodstuffs like milk and meat. Thus, monitoring of TCNs is paramount, especially in the feedstuff. In the present study, a green method is developed to synthesize magnetic Ag/GO‐Fe3O4nanocomposites using Azadirachta indicaleaf extract. The synthesized adsorbent (Ag/GO‐Fe3O4) was analyzed for the residual extraction of oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) from the fresh milk samples through the magnetic solid‐phase extraction principle. The extraction procedure involved the deproteinization of milk, spiking with antibiotics, followed by magnetic solid‐phase extraction and quantification of TCNs by HPLC with a UV detector. Different factors that affected the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the TCNs like pH, temperature, amount of nanocomposite, and time were studied. The inter‐day and intra‐day precision were calculated for OTC (4% and 6%) and CTC (3% and 4%), respectively. The limit of detection and quantification for OTC was 0.5 and 1.5 μgL−1and for CTC was 0.2 and 0.6 μgL−1respectively while the percentage extraction was 94%–96%. The presence of tetracyclines in animal‐based foodstuff have many side effects on human health. In the current study, a green method was developed to synthesize magnetic Ag/GO‐Fe3O4nanocomposites using Azadirachta indicaleaf extract for the residual extraction of oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline from the fresh milk samples. The composite has excellent adsorption capacity with 0.5 and 0.2 μgL−1LOD for oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline respectively.
