subject: accretion, accretion discs; stars: neutron; X-rays: binaries; X-rays: individual: GX 9+1
description: We have studied the spectro-temporal properties of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+1 using data from NuSTAR/Focal Plane Module and AstroSat/Soft X-ray Telescope and Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC). The hardness-intensity diagram of the source showed it to be in the soft spectral state (banana branch) during both observations. NuSTAR spectral analysis yielded an inclination angle (?) = 29 and inner disc radius (Rin) ? 19 km. Assuming that the accretion disc was truncated at the AlfvCrossed D sign ?0.9) with a monotonic increase in mass accretion rate () along the banana branch. The analysis also showed the presence of absorption edges at ?1.9 and ?2.4 keV, likely due to Si xiii and S xv, respectively. Temporal analysis with LAXPC-20 data in the 0.02-100 Hz range revealed the presence of noise components, which could be characterized by broad Lorentzian components.

Predicting Crude Oil Future Price Using Traditional and Artificial Intelligence-Based Model: Comparative Analysis
subject: ALSTM; ARIMA; Artificial intelligence; crude oil; forecast; RNN-LSTM
description: Crude oil is an imperative energy source for the global economy. The future value of crude oil is challenging to anticipate due to its nonstationarity in nature. The focus of this research is to appraise the explosive behavior of crude oil during 20072022, including the most recent influential crisis COVID-19 pandemic, to forecast its prices. The crude oil price forecasts by the traditional econometric ARIMA model were compared with modern Artificial Intelligence (AI)based Long Short-Term Memory Networks (ALSTM). Root mean square error (RMSE) and mean average percent error (MAPE) values have been used to evaluate the accuracy of such approaches. The results showed that the ALSTM model performs better than the traditional econometric ARIMA forecast model while predicting crude oil opening price on the next working day. Crude oil investors can effectively use this as an intraday trading model and more accurately predict the next working day opening price. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd.

Phosphorus-doped molybdenum disulfide as counter electrode catalyst for efficient bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells
subject: Bifacial; Electrochemical activity; Exfoliation; Heteratom doping; Rapid charge transfer
description: MoS2 is a promising counter electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cell owing to its optical and electrical properties and two-dimensional layered structure. However, it still suffers from minimal conductivity, poor charge transport and less active sites. The present study offers a promising method for enhancing catalytic and fast charge transfer in MoS2 through heteroatom doping of phosphorus. A facile one-step hydrothermal treatment was acquired to do the phosphorus doping. The spin-coated P-doped MoS2 (MSP2) counter electrode (CE) shows a superior power conversion efficiency of 7.93% for front illumination and 5.34% for rear illumination, outperforming Pt-based (7.41% and 5.75%) CE. Thus, phosphorous incorporation increases the number of active sites and improves the catalytic property of the material. The P-doped MoS2 (MSP2) CE film also shows high transmittance, making it a suitable choice for bifacial type of solar cell. 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Discovery of inverse-Compton X-ray emission and estimate of the volume-averaged magnetic field in a galaxy group
subject: galaxies: clusters: individual: MRC 0116+111; galaxies: clusters: intracluster medium; magnetic fields; X-rays: galaxies: clusters
description: Observed in a significant fraction of clusters and groups of galaxies, diffuse radio synchrotron emission reveals the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields permeating large scale systems of galaxies. Although, these non-thermal electrons are expected to upscatter cosmic microwave background photons up to hard X-ray energies, such inverse-Compton (IC) X-ray emission has so far not been unambiguously detected on cluster/group scales. Using deep, new proprietary XMM-Newton observations (?200 ks of clean exposure), we report a 4.6 ? detection of extended IC X-ray emission in MRC 0116 +111, an extraordinary group of galaxies at z = 0.131. Assuming a spectral slope derived from low frequency radio data, the detection remains robust to systematic uncertainties. Together with low frequency radio data from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), this detection provides an estimate for the volume-averaged magnetic field of (1.9 0.3) ?G within the central part of the group. This value can serve as an anchor for studies of magnetic fields in the largest gravitationally bound systems in the Universe. 2023 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.

Palladium immobilized on guanidine functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: a highly effective and recoverable catalyst for ultrasound aided Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions
description: We designed and prepared a palladium catalyst that can be magnetically recyclable by anchoring guanidine moiety on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, named Fe3O4@SiO2-TCT-Gua-Pd. It was established to be a potent catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction (SMCR) in the EtOH/H2O system under ultrasonic conditions. FT-IR spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis, vibration sample magnetometry (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) analyses were used to characterize the structure of the Fe3O4@SiO2-TCT-Gua-Pd nanoctalyst. The Fe3O4@SiO2-TCT-Gua-Pd catalyst produced favorable coupled products with excellent yields and was harmonious with various aryl halides and aryl boronic acids. The stability, low palladium leaching, and heterogeneous nature of the nanocatalyst were confirmed by a hot-filtration test. The palladium nanocatalyst could be easily recovered by magnetic field separation and recycled at least 6 times in a row without noticeable loss in its catalytic activity. 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Electrochemical investigation of neodymium doped vanadium pentoxide anchored on reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites for hybrid symmetric capacitor devices
subject: Neodymium; rGO; Supercapacitors; Symmetric capacitor; Vanadium pentoxide
description: The modern world is highly dependent on portable electronic gadgets, so high-performance energy storage devices are a major demand for human beings. Here, we construct neodymium-doped vanadium pentoxide anchored with reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (rGO/Nd:V2O5) as the electrode material for a high-performance symmetric capacitor device. The prepared electrodes showed pseudocapacitor behaviour and double layer capacitor behaviour, indicating the hybrid nature of the rGO/Nd:V2O5 electrode. Also, the V2O5, Nd:V2O5 and rGO/Nd:V2O5 electrodes show higher capacitance behaviour of 447, 677 and 1122 F/g at 1 A/g and 89 %, 94 % and 98 % cyclic efficiency at the 1000th cycle. However, the rGO/Nd:V2O5 symmetric capacitor device exhibits a higher capacitance value of 218 F/g at 1 A/g and a cyclic efficiency of 82 % at the 10000th cycle. Also, this electrode shows a low charge transfer resistance value of 12.67 ?. This result shows the prepared rGO/Nd:V2O5 electrode as the high-performance electrode material for the supercapacitor devices. 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Media Framing of Indian Green Fiscal Policy: A Survey of Environmental Policies Across Online News Portals
subject: Climate Action; Energy Transition; Environmental Policy; Framing Analysis; Indian Budgets; Media Coverage
description: This research undertakes a framing analysis of news coverage from five leading Indian news portals, focusing on the environmental provisions of India's fiscal budgets for 2022-23 and 2023-24. These budgets marked a significant shift, being the first to prioritize "Energy Transition and Climate Action" and "Green Growth" as central themes. The analysis uncovers a spectrum of portrayals: from highlighting government initiatives and the potential economic windfalls of green policies to critical evaluations and concerns about their real-world implications. Specifically, the Times of India, with its 27 stories, leans heavily towards business and economic perspectives. The Hindu, through its five stories, both praises the government's green initiatives and critiques certain infrastructure projects. Hindustan Times offers a balanced view in its nine stories, juxtaposing government action plans against critiques of infrastructure spending. In contrast, The Scroll and The Wire, each with three stories, delve deeper, providing incisive, critical analyses of the government's environmental commitments. The study underscores that while independent news portals present nuanced insights, their narratives often stand in the shadow of mainstream portals that echo the government's perspective. Given the escalating global importance of environmental challenges, the findings strongly advocate for media outlets to establish dedicated environmental news sections. Such focused coverage could enhance public awareness and pressurize effective governmental action in the domain of green fiscal policies. 2023 by authors, all rights reserved.

Estimation of spectroscopic parameters and TL glow curve analysis of Eu3+-activated CaY2O4 phosphor
description: The solid-state reaction method was utilised to create a down-conversion phosphor in an air environment in CaY2O4:Eu3+ nanocrystalline material. The calcination temperature was set at 1000 C, and the sintering temperature was set at 1300 C. Following annealing, confirmation of the crystallinity quality of the phosphor was accomplished by the use of X-ray diffraction analysis. The particle size was predicted to be 43.113 nm using Scherrer's formula. To produce down-conversion luminescence spectra, an excitation wavelength of 247 nm was applied with a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The PL got increasingly intense as the concentration of the dopant increased. The maximum intensity was measured at 2.0 mol% of Eu3+ ion, which gradually decreased as the concentration increased because of concentration quenching. To analyse spectrophotometric peak determinations, the approach developed by the Commission Internationale de l'lairage (CIE) was used. Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve analysis of the CaY2O4:Eu3+-doped phosphor manufactured here revealed a wide TL centred at 225 C, which comprised of so many peaks that may be extracted by the computerised glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) approach using glow-fit software. The associated kinetic parameters were then determined. The prepared phosphor may be useful for application in various display devices upon excitation by 247 nm; the prominent 613 nm peak of the Eu3+ ion (5D0 ? 7F2) electric dipole transition features a red component. CaY2O4:Eu3+ phosphors show promise as materials for potential use in phosphor-converted white LEDs in the field of solid-state lighting technology. The linear connection that the TL glow curve has with UV dose provides evidence for its possible use in dosimetry. 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Teaching Language Through Literature: Introducing Aspects of Literary Nonsense
description: Nonsense Literature first came into existence after the publishers of nursery rhymes started using the term to describe the works of childrens literature. It evolved into a genre of childrens literature that is widely accepted for being covertly intellectually stimulating. It uses puns, riddles, trick questions, contrasts in language, paradoxes and oxymorons to raise philosophically challenging questions that break our ideas of conventional patterns of understanding grammar, logic and reason. Nonsense literature is known for defying the rules of conventional linguistics. It plays with the boundaries of what is linguistically acceptable with its wordplay. However, nonsense literature understands and explores the structures of grammar, logic and reason better than any other literary genre. It is the best source of instruction for the ways in which the fundamental structures of grammar can be manipulated to create more structures of meaning which are transformational in nature. It uses the basic knowledge of grammar to create new ideas and rules using devices such as portmanteau and neologisms. Most course syllabi either focus on language or literature, never both simultaneously. Since literary nonsense plays with both linguistic structures in its writing and logic and reason in its story, it becomes the perfect material for teaching language as well as literature in the classroom. 2023, IUP Publications.

An optimized back propagation neural network for automated evaluation of health condition using sensor data
subject: Condition monitoring; Fault prediction; Fish swarm algorithm; Health status assessment; Machine learning; Optimized back propagation neural network
description: Ships and other large equipment must meet strict standards for equipment integrity and operational dependability in order to perform missions. To meet this demand, one of the essential linkages is to guarantee the long-term safe and healthy functioning of their power transmission equipment. The Optimized Back Propagation Neural Network (OBPNN) technique used in this study introduces a unique method for monitoring sensor data and evaluating the health state, with the SVM being optimized using the fish swarm algorithm (FSA). A major problem that maintenance is facing nowadays is reliable fault prediction. One of the trickiest difficulties is arguably automatically modelling typical behaviour from condition monitoring data, particularly when there is little information about actual failures. A data-driven learning framework with the best bandwidth selection is suggested to address this challenge. It is based on nonparametric density estimation for outlier identification and OBPNN for normality modelling. The distance to the separating hyper plane's log-normalization is used to provide a health score that is also available. The algorithm's viability is shown by experimental findings while evaluating the progression of a major defect over time in a marine diesel engine. Improved prediction capabilities and low false positive rates on healthy data are realized. 2023 The Authors

Design of Triple Tuned Passive Harmonic Power Filter - A Novel Approach
subject: Dynamic loading; passive harmonic filter; single tuned filter (STF); static loading; triple tuned filter
description: Nowadays, there is a race between active and passive harmonic filters and still ambiguity persists. It is a proven fact that active harmonic filters (AHFs) are costly solutions though have proved better than passive harmonic filters. Except sizing and resonance problems, tuned passive harmonic filters (TPHFs) are proved to give economical solutions with little compromise on their performance. The accurate design of TPHFs gives a greater impact on its performance. The triple-TPHF (TTPHF) is essential to alleviate first three dominant ac side current harmonics simultaneously at the high voltage direct current (HVdc) converters and it is proved better than the single and double TPHFs. Existing equivalent methods of TTPHF design failed to give satisfactory performance under dynamic conditions. Hence, this article introduces a novel parametric method-based design of TTPHF, which will give better performance under static and dynamic loading conditions. The results also reveal that the proposed TTPHF design method will perform better than the existing methods. 2021 IEEE.

title: Marine brown algae (Sargassum wightii) derived 9-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid: A promising inhibitor of ?-amylase and ?-glucosidase with mechanistic insights from molecular docking and its non-target toxicity analysis
subject: ADME; In silico docking; Palmitic acid; Sargassum wightii; toxicity analysis; ?-amylase; ?-glucosidase
description: Jeopardized glucose hemostasis leads to cronic metaboic disorder like Diabetes mellitus and it is predicted to occur in ?700 million people in the coming 20 years. Our study aims to isolate Palmitic acid (C16H32O3), 9-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid metabolite from Sargassum wightii to inhibit alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia and decline the risk of diabetes. High docking score of palmitic acid with both ?-amylase and ?-glucosidase is observed in in-silico molecular docking analysis, in comparison to commercially available drug acarbose. The three hydrogen bond in palmitic acid interacts with the important amino acids like Arg195, Lys200 and Asp300 in Glide XP docking mode for alpha-amylase. For ?-glucosidase, quantum-polarized ligand docking (QPLD) was used with similar three hydrogen bond interactions. Both docking studies showed significant binding interaction of palmitic acid with ?-amylase (?5.66 and ?5.14 (Kcal/mol)) and with ?-glucosidase (?4.52 and ?3.51(Kcal/mol)) with respect to the standard, acarbose docking score. The bioactive palmitic acid isolated from the brown alga, Sargassum wightii is already seen to inhibit digestive enzyme with non-target property in Artemia nauplii and zebra fish embryos. Further studies are required to investigate its role in in vivo antidiabetic effects due to its non-toxic and digestive enzyme inhibitory properties. It can be recommended in additional pharmaceutical studies to develop novel therapeutics to manage diabetes mellitus. 2023 SAAB

Predictors of Hypertension among Indian Women of Reproductive Age Group: An Analysis from NFHS-5 Data
subject: Health Status Disparities; Hypertension; Obesity; Rural Population; Socioeconomic Factors; Urban Population
description: Introduction: Hypertension among women not only augments the risk of cardiovascular diseases but also leads to antenatal and intra-natal complications. Materials and Methods: A subset of data collected during National Family Health Survey-5, comprising of 7,24,115 women, 1549 years of age was analysed to identify key predictors of hypertension, using Probit Regression Model (PRM) which was run separately for rural and urban women. Results: Overall prevalence of hypertension among women of reproductive age group was 11% (10.4% and 12% in rural and urban areas respectively). 5% and 13.41% of women were obese and 1.2% and 2.6% were diabetic in rural and urban areas respectively. Obese, uneducated, rich women and those on medications showed higher prevalence, while women consuming milk, eggs, chicken, fruits, and vegetables daily showed lower prevalence. On using PRM, significant predictors of hypertension were increasing age, rural residence, pregnancy, increasing weight, diabetes, illiteracy, access to medical insurance, and indulgence in alcohol and smoking. Conclusion: Findings from the study contribute to the body of evidence favouring multifactorial causation. Hypertension awareness should be promoted especially among rural residents, older women, with emphasis on intake of balanced diet with less consumption of sodium and increased intake of fruits and vegetables. 2023 National Journal of Community Medicine.

Contemporary ethnobotany of pastoralism in semi-arid Deccan region-Koppal district, Karnataka, India
subject: Cattle forage; ethno-veterinary plants; koppal; pastoralism; semi-arid deccan region
description: The aim of the current study is on ethnobotanical survey carried out in Koppal district of Karnataka, India. Study focused on exploration of traditional knowledge and pastoral practices of particular communities where livestock rearing activity is potent and use of ethnomedicinal plants in daily livelihood. The landscape was diverse in nature covering semi-arid to modest tropical climate, and unique topography encourage for wide range of vegetation useful for caters to feed the livestock. Methodology used for the study by participant observation, interviews, and transect walks, the study identified 48 plant species from 20 families, with Fabaceae and Poaceae being the most prevalent. These families play a vital role in providing nutritious fodder for livestock and sustaining pastoralists livelihoods. The study resulted pastoralists ethno-veterinary knowledge, where specific plants are used to treat cattle ailments and reflecting their deep understanding of traditional herbal remedies. However, the research finding revealed that some traditional knowledge may be diminishing with the younger generation, stressing the importance of knowledge preservation and transfer. The study underscores the potential benefits of integrating traditional practices with scientific research to optimize the selection and utilization of valuable fodder and veterinary plants. It is evident remarks to add up in the scientific data by collaboration between indigenous communities and scientific institutions for sustainable resource management. 2023, Indian journals.

subject: Classification; Cloud-based prediction and diagnosis; Diabetic Retinopathy; Optimized deep Belief Network; Stochastic neighbor embedding
description: Diabetic retinopathy disease is one of the notorious metabolic disorders happens due to increase of blood sugar level in human body. In computer vision, images are recognized as the indispensable tool for precise prediction and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, the proposed research study considers the fundus images of various patients containing the diabetic disease. Basic idea behind this research is to introduce a stochastic neighbor embedding (SNE) feature extraction approach for the sake of dimensional reduction and unnecessary noise removal from the fundus images. After feature extraction, the proposed optimized deep belief network (O-DBN) classifier model is capable of measuring the image features into various classes that gives the severity levels of diabetic retinopathy disease. Moreover, the proposed cloud-enabled diabetic retinopathy prediction system using the SNE feature extraction and O-DBN classification model could outperform the existing online prediction systems in terms of sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, prediction time and accuracy. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
