Novel soliton solutions of four sets of generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-like equations
In this paper, we examined four different forms of generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (B-KP)-like equations. In this connection, an accurate computational method based on the Riccati equation called sub-equation method and its Bklund transformation is employed. Using this method, numerous exact solutions that do not exist in the literature have been obtained in the form of trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational. These solutions are of considerable importance in applied sciences, coastal, and ocean engineering, where the B-KP-like equations modeled for some significant physical phenomenon. The graph of the bright and dark solitons is presented in order to demonstrate the influence of different physical parameters on the solutions. All of the findings prove the stability, effectiveness, and accuracy of the proposed method. 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company. -
An efficient technique for generalized conformablePochhammerChree models of longitudinal wave propagation of elastic rod
In this article, we introduce analytical-approximate solutions of time-fractional generalized Pochhammer-Chree equations for wave propagation of elastic rod by means of the q-homotopy analysis of the transform method (q-HATM). In the Caputo sense, basic concepts for fractional derivatives are defined. Several examples are given and the results are illustrated via some surface plots to present the physical representation. The results show that the current methodology is productive, powerful, efficient, easy to use, and ready to incorporate a wide variety of partial fractional differential equations. 2022, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science. -
Numerical simulation for coupled nonlinear Schringer-Korteweg-de Vries and Maccari systems of equations
The primary goal of this paper is to seek solutions to the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (CNPDEs) by the use of q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM). The CNPDEs considered are the coupled nonlinear Schringer-Korteweg-de Vries (CNLS-KdV) and the coupled nonlinear Maccari (CNLM) systems. As a basis for explaining the interactive wave propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasma physics, Langmuir waves and dust-acoustic waves, the CNLS-KdV model has emerged as a model for defining various types of wave phenomena in mathematical physics, and so forth. The CNLM model is a nonlinear system that explains the dynamics of isolated waves, restricted in a small part of space, in several fields like nonlinear optics, hydrodynamic and plasma physics. We construct the solutions (bright soliton) of these models through q-HATM and present the numerical simulation in form of plots and tables. The solutions obtained by the suggested approach are provided in a refined converging series. The outcomes confirm that the proposed solutions procedure is highly methodological, accurate and easy to study CNPDEs. 2021 World Scientific Publishing Company. -
A novel approach to study generalized coupled cubic SchringerKorteweg-de Vries equations
The Kortewegde Vries (KdV) equation represents the propagation of long waves in dispersive media, whereas the cubic nonlinear Schringer (CNLS) equation depicts the dynamics of narrow-bandwidth wave packets consisting of short dispersive waves. A model that couples these two equations seems intriguing for simulating the interaction of long and short waves, which is important in many domains of applied sciences and engineering, and such a system has been investigated in recent decades. This work uses a modified Sardar sub-equation procedure to secure the soliton-type solutions of the generalized cubic nonlinear SchringerKorteweg-de Vries system of equations. For various selections of arbitrary parameters in these solutions, the dynamic properties of some acquired solutions are represented graphically and analyzed. In particular, the dynamics of the bright solitons, dark solitons, mixed bright-dark solitons, W-shaped solitons, M-shaped solitons, periodic waves, and other soliton-type solutions. Our results demonstrated that the proposed technique is highly efficient and effective for the aforementioned problems, as well as other nonlinear problems that may arise in the fields of mathematical physics and engineering. 2022 -
Post-road traffic injury experiences and challenges faced by college students: A qualitative study in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a pressing public health concern in India, leading to a rise in injury-related deaths, hospitalizations, and disabilities. India accounts for a significant portion of the world's fatal traffic accidents, with two-wheelers being involved in the majority of these accidents. The impact of non-fatal injuries on individuals extends beyond the bodily consequences of the injury and includes both the physical and psychological dimensions of the injury. The literature indicates the need for policy cascades and implementation framework for the prevention of road traffic injury. This study aimed to investigate the post-RTI experiences and challenges faced by college students who experienced road traffic injury during their college life by using a qualitative research approach in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India. The study found that college students who experienced RTIs faced a wide range of physical, emotional, and social difficulties. The study highlights the need for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to RTI prevention that takes into account the complex interplay of individual, environmental, and societal factors that contribute to RTIs. The study also underscores the urgent need to improve the quality and availability of healthcare and rehabilitation services for RTI survivors. 2024 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. -
Electrochemical sensing of vitamin B12 deficiency marker methylmalonic acid using PdAu-PPy tailored carbon fiber paper electrode
Vitamin B12 is very important for human metabolism and its deficiency can cause anemia and the production of large red blood cells. An increased concentration of methylmalonic acid (MMA) is detected much before the transformation of blood cells, which thereby is an early indicator for mild or serious Vitamin B12 deficiency. A simple electrochemical sensor based on PalladiumGold (PdAu) was developed by electrodeposition of PdAu nanoparticles on Polypyrrole (PPy) modified carbon fiber paper (CFP) electrode. The modified electrodes were characterized by High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electroanalytical techniques. Differential Pulse Voltammetric (DPV) studies have established that under optimum conditions, the developed sensor exhibits a broad linear dynamic range (4.01 pM - 52.5 nM) with a very low detection limit (1.32 pM). The proposed method was effectively applied in the non-enzymatic determination of MMA at an ultralow level in human blood serum and urine samples. The method displayed high selectivity toward MMA in the presence of other interfering substances. 2020 Elsevier B.V. -

Synthesis and photophysical properties of a novel phthalimide derivative using solvatochromic shift method for the estimation of ground and singlet excited state dipole moments
A novel phthalimide derivative, 2-{4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}-1Hisoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (TMPID) containing an isoindole moiety was synthesized by the cyclisation of 2-({4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)benzoic acid (TMPCB). The absorbance and fluorescence spectra of the derivative were recorded in fifteen different solvents to investigate their solvatochromic behaviour and dipole moments. Different solvent correlation methods, like the BilotKawski, LippertMataga, Bakhshiev, KawskiChammaViallet and Reichardt methods were employed to estimate the singlet excited and ground state dipole moments. Using multiple regression analysis, solute-solvent, specific and non-specific interactions were analyzed by means of Kamlet-Abboud-Taft and Catalan parameters. Computational studies were performed using time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) in order to calculate ground state dipole moment, atomic charges and frontier molecular orbital energies in solvent phase. Experimental and computational studies indicate that the singlet excited state dipole moment of TMPID is greater than the ground state dipole moment. The chemical stability of the derivative was determined by means of chemical hardness (?) using HOMOLUMO energies. From TD-DFT computational analysis, reactive centres in the molecule were evaluated based on molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) 3D plots. 2016 Elsevier B.V. -

Electrocatalytic oxidation of morin on electrodeposited Ir-PEDOT nanograins
Nanoclusters of Ir were electrochemically deposited on carbon fiber paper (CFP) substrate modified with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a conducting polymer between the potential range 0.0 V and 0.6 V at 0.05 V/s scan rate. The electrocatalytic activity of IrPEDOT/CFP electrode towards oxidation of morin, a flavonoid was significantly greater than that of PEDOT/CFP and bare CFP electrodes. Factors affecting the anodic peak of morin namely, effect of pH, scan rate and number of cycles were optimized. The electrochemical route involved adsorption controlled and irreversible processes. Under optimal conditions, the linear dynamic range for the determination of morin was found to be 0.12 nM2.80 nM. The significantly low detection limit (42.18 pM) demonstrates the ultrasensitivity of the proposed method.

Study on Photophysical Properties of N-Arylphthalamic Acid Derivative Containing 1, 2, 4-Triazole Scaffold
A novel N-arylphthalamic acid derivative, 2-({4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}carbamoyl)benzoic acid (TMPCB) was synthesized and their absorption and emission spectra were recorded in fifteen different solvents of varying polarities at room temperature. Ground state dipole moment of the derivative was calculated experimentally by Guggenheim method and solvatochromic approach proposed by Bilot-Kawski. The singlet excited state dipole moment of TMPCB were calculated experimentally based on different approaches of solvent polarity function proposed by LippertMataga, Bakhshiev, Kawskii-Chamma-Viallet, Reichardt and Bilot-Kawski. Singlet excited state dipole moment was greater than ground state dipole moment in all the approaches which could be attributed to considerable ?- electron density redistribution. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis based on Kamlet-Abboud-Taft and Catalan parameters were also studied to correlate solvatochromism and influence of solvents with absorbance and emission spectra. Ground and singlet excited state optimizations of the molecule were also performed using Gaussian 09W software. HOMO-LUMO energies of the phthalamic acid derivative have been obtained using TD-DFT/PCM (B3LYP/6-31G (d, p)) computations and experimentally by using cyclic voltammetry. Mulliken charges and molecular electrostatic potential plot have also been generated from DFT calculations to identify nucleophilic and electrophilic sites of TMPCB. 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. -

Components of the diffuse ultraviolet radiation at high latitudes
We have used data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer to study the different components of the diffuse ultraviolet background in the region between the Galactic latitudes 70?-80?. We find an offset at zero dust column density (E(B ? V) = 0) of 240 18 photon units in the FUV (1539 and 394 37 photon units in the NUV (2316 . This is approximately half of the total observed radiation with the remainder divided between an extragalactic component of 114 18 photon units in the FUV and 194 37 photon units in the NUV and starlight scattered by Galactic dust at high latitudes. The optical constants of the dust grains were found to be a = 0.4 0.1 and g = 0.8 0.1 (FUV) and a = 0.4 0.1 and g = 0.5 0.1 (NUV). We cannot differentiate between a Galactic or extragalactic origin for the zero-offset but can affirm that it is not from any known source. 2019 Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. -
The Diffuse Radiation Field at High Galactic Latitudes
We have used GALEX observations of the north and south Galactic poles to study the diffuse ultraviolet background at locations where the Galactic light is expected to be at a minimum. We find offsets of 230-290 photon units in the far-UV (1531 and 480-580 photon units in the near-UV (2361 . Of this, approximately 120 photon units can be ascribed to dust-scattered light and another 110 photon units (190 in the near-UV) to extragalactic radiation. The remaining radiation is, as yet, unidentified and amounts to 120-180 photon units in the far-UV and 300-400 photon units in the near-UV. We find that molecular hydrogen fluorescence contributes to the far-UV when the 100 ?m surface brightness is greater than 1.08 MJy sr-1. 2018. The American Astronomical Society.

A hybrid deep learning and quantum computing approach for optimized encryption algorithms in secure communications
As online dangers get worse, there is a greater need for strong encryption methods to protect private conversations. Utilizing the strengths of both deep learning and quantum computing, this study suggests a new mixed method for improving the security of communication systems by making encryption algorithms work better. When it comes to keeping up with new online threats, traditional security methods often fall behind. Deep learning techniques could be a good way to improve encryption algorithms because they let the system learn and change to new attack methods. In the meantime, quantum computing offers unmatched computing power that can completely change how cryptography works by using quantum events like superposition and entanglement. Our suggested method combines the flexibility of deep learning with the computing power of quantum computing to get around the problems with current encryption methods. This will make safe communication systems more resistant to attacks from smart people. Through tests and models, we show that our mixed approach works better and more effectively than current encryption methods. This shows that it has the ability to solve the growing safety problems in a world that is becoming more and more linked. 2024, Taru Publications. All rights reserved. -
Comprehensive evaluation and performance analysis of machine learning in heart disease prediction
Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality on a global scale. Accurately predicting cardiovascular disease poses a significant challenge within clinical data analysis. The present study introduces a prediction model that utilizes various combinations of information and employs multiple established classification approaches. The proposed technique combines the genetic algorithm (GA) and the recursive feature elimination method (RFEM) to select relevant features, thus enhancing the models robustness. Techniques like the under sampling clustering oversampling method (USCOM) address the issue of data imbalance, thereby improving the models predictive capabilities. The classification challenge employs a multilayer deep convolutional neural network (MLDCNN), trained using the adaptive elephant herd optimization method (AEHOM). The proposed machine learning-based heart disease prediction method (ML-HDPM) demonstrates outstanding performance across various crucial evaluation parameters, as indicated by its comprehensive assessment. During the training process, the ML-HDPM model exhibits a high level of performance, achieving an accuracy rate of 95.5% and a precision rate of 94.8%. The systems sensitivity (recall) performs with a high accuracy rate of 96.2%, while the F-score highlights its well-balanced performance, measuring 91.5%. It is worth noting that the specificity of ML-HDPM is recorded at a remarkable 89.7%. The findings underscore the potential of ML-HDPM to transform the prediction of heart disease and aid healthcare practitioners in providing precise diagnoses, exerting a substantial influence on patient care outcomes.

Synthesis and Multifaceted Exploration of 4-Phenylpiperidin-4-ol Substituted Pyrazole: Photophysical Insights with Biological Activity
In this study, we successfully synthesized a pyrazole derivative, specifically 4-phenylpiperidin-4-ol substituted pyrazole (CHP), through the reaction of Grignard reagents in combination with pyrazole. This newly synthesized molecule was subjected to a comprehensive evaluation for both its photophysical and biological applications. Notably, CHP exhibited promising invitro antifungal and antibacterial activities, primarily attributed to the presence of the 4-phenylpiperidin-4-ol moiety and resulting component contributed to an enhanced absorption rate of lipids, thereby improving the pharmacological activity of CHP. This correlation between structure and function was further supported by the outcomes of structure-activity relationship studies. Additionally, we conducted in silico studies to examine the molecular interactions of the synthesized molecule with key proteins, including DNA Gyrase, Lanosterol 14 ?-demethylase, and KEAP1-NRF2. The results unveiled robust binding interactions at specific sites within these proteins, indicating potential therapeutic relevance. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of the synthesized compounds were thoroughly investigated using the ab-initio technique. This involved the determination of ground state optimization and HOMO-LUMO energy levels, all calculated with the DFT-B3LYP-6-31G(d) basis set. The assessment of the theoretically estimated HOMO-LUMO value provided insights into the global chemical reactivity descriptors, revealing that the synthesized molecule boasts a highly electronegative and electrophilic index. Taken together, our findings suggest that pyrazole derivatives with 4-phenylpiperidin-4-ol substitutions exhibit promising applications in both photophysical and biological contexts. 2024 Ghaferah H.

The in vitro antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities of a substituted pyrazole derivative (FHM) have been evaluated in the current work. The addition of 4-methylpiperidin-4-ol, which increases the molecules lipid solubility and speeds up absorption by increasing its rate of absorption, gives the molecule strong in vitro antifungal and antibacterial properties.
