Biodegradation; Bioremediation; Design of experiment; Enterobacter; Reactive blue 222; Statistical modeling
Reactive Blue 222 (RB222) is widely used in textile industries and hence a common recalcitrant pollutant in the industrial effluent. Bioremediation of this dye is of significance as its one of the complex dyes with high molecular weight. In the present study, we isolated a novel bacterial strain Enterobacter CU2004 from the industrial waste and characterize using16S rRNA gene sequencing. Its potential to dye degradation was evaluated in a simple minimal salt media with the parameters namely dye concentration (1001000 ppm), pH (49), temperature (1555C), Carbon source (Lactose, Sucrose, Glucose, Starch, and Fructose), and Nitrogen source (Casein, Yeast extract, Peptone, Tryptone, Ammonium sulphate, and Urea) in a 24 h culture. Finally, data obtained were extended to design of experiment based optimization for the degradation efficacy of Enterobacter CU2004 and to validated design space was established. The novelty is in optimizing the design space parameters for highest percentage of degradation ?90% by the bacterial isolate Enterobacter CU2004 were finalized as 3037C temperature, 133249 ppm dye concentration, Lactose as Carbon source, Yeast extract as Nitrogen source, and the pH as 8. Microbial dye degradation was confirmed by FTIR, HPLC and GCMS studies. Further studies revealed the dye intermediates and the potential of Enterobacter CU2004 toward the degradation of complex, high molecular weight industrial dye RB222. 2024 Vasantha Veerappa Lakshmaiah, et al.

Functional characterization of Malabar grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus) interferon regulatory factor 9 involved in antiviral response
ADAR families; Epinephelus malabaricus; Interferon; IRF9; Malabar grouper; Nervous necrosis virus
IRF9 is a crucial component in the JAK-STAT pathway. IRF9 interacts with STAT1 and STAT2 to form IFN-I-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) in response to type I IFN stimulation, which promotes ISG transcription. However, the mechanism by which IFN signaling regulates Malabar grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus) IRF9 is still elusive. Here, we explored the nd tissue-specific mRNA distribution of the MgIRF9 gene, as well as its antiviral function in E. malabaricus. MgIRF9 encodes a protein of 438 amino acids with an open reading frame of 1317 base pairs. MgIRF9 mRNA was detected in all tissues of a healthy M. grouper, with the highest concentrations in the muscle, gills, and brain. It was significantly up-regulated by nervous necrosis virus infection and poly (I:C) stimulation. The gel mobility shift test demonstrated a high-affinity association between MgIRF9 and the promoter of zfIFN in vitro. In GK cells, grouper recombinant IFN-treated samples showed a significant response in ISGs and exhibited antiviral function. Subsequently, overexpression of MgIRF9 resulted in a considerable increase in IFN and ISGs mRNA expression (ADAR1, ADAR1-Like, and ADAR2). Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that MgIRF9 and STAT2 can interact in vivo. According to the findings, M. grouper IRF9 may play a role in how IFN signaling induces ISG gene expression in grouper species. 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Globalisation and carbon dioxide emissions inequality in OECD countries
CO2 inequality; globalisation; the OECD economies
Economic growth has been crucial in contributing to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the Industrial Revolution, and it affects CO2 emissions heterogeneously with different income levels. Therefore, studying the role of economic growth on inequality in carbon emissions is imperative. This paper analyses the determinants of CO2 emissions inequality in the panel dataset of 37 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from 1990 to 2019. Age dependency, globalisation, and institutional quality reduce CO2 inequality in the OECD economies. However, gross domestic product per capita increases CO2 inequality. The results are robust to utilise different panel data estimation techniques. This paper provides the first evidence in the literature of determinants of CO2 inequality across the OECD countries. It is suggested that governments in the OECD economies offer a blueprint for a sustainable society of green economic growth. Other potential policy implications are also discussed. 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Dual fuel; Hydrogen; Mesua ferrea biodiesel; Water Hyacinth biodiesel
The study was conducted to uncover the emission, combustion, and performance features of the blend of Water Hyacinth biodiesel and Mesua Ferrea seed oil biodiesel with Hydrogen addition on a diesel engine in dual fuel. Pilot fuel is a blend of 50% Water Hyacinth biodiesel and 50% Mesua Ferrea seed oil biodiesel. A single-cylinder compression ignition engine was modified to operate on dual fuel mode with hydrogen. Variations of engine operating parameters such as injection timing, and engine load were performed. The study was conducted with three pilot fuel injection timings (23, 26, and 29bTDC) and variable engine loadings (20%100% with an increment of 20%) at an injection pressure of 200 bar and compression ratio of 18. The results indicated that the maximum brake thermal efficiency of 28.11% and a replacement of liquid fuel by 85% was obtained for the WHMF blend powered dual fuel diesel engine at pilot fuel injection timings of 26bTDC at 100% load. HC, CO, and smoke emissions are reduced with hydrogen due to faster combustion. On the other hand, there was a slight increase in NOx emissions noticed with hydrogen enrichment. 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC

Additively Composite Model Objective Function for Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Network Protocol
bottleneck routing; IoT; load balancing; metrics; objective function; RPL
The Internet of Things (IoT) networks always operate within the context of diverse and constrained characteristics of the devices. Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) constitute a network architecture commonly utilized in IoT application deployments, facilitating networking and the establishment of paths for data transmission. The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) demonstrates promising capabilities for LLN network operations, supporting IPv4 and IPv6-enabled services. The RPL protocol constructs a Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG) logical routing topology based on defined Objective Function (OF) metrics. Routing operations within the DODAG utilize these metrics and constraints to select parent nodes and calculate optimal routes between two nodes. Standardized OFs have traditionally focused on either parent node selection or routing objectives within the DODAG, often treating load balancing and bottleneck optimization separately. However, their combined impact on RPL's effectiveness has been overlooked. This paper introduces an Adaptively Composite Objective Function (AC-OF) approach that considers the combined objectives of DODAG load balancing and optimized routing operations. Through simulation evidence, the paper presents improved network parameters. The AC-OF implementation brings out significant results in the form of a balanced DODAG topology and it has good impacts on data transmission, control overhead messages, parent switching, delay, energy consumption, and node lifetime. 2024 Totem Publisher, Inc.

Nonlinear Rayleigh-Bard magnetoconvection of a weakly electrically conducting Newtonian liquid in shallow cylindrical enclosures
Axisymmetric convection; Carbon nanotubes; Chaos; Cylindrical enclosure; Magnetic field
A study of nonlinear axisymmetric Rayleigh-Bard magnetoconvection in a cylindrical enclosure filled with a dilute concentration of carbon-based nanotubes in a weakly electrically conducting Newtonian liquid heated from below for various aspect ratios is carried out. Cylindrical geometry is the prototype for heat storage devices and thermal coolant systems with a controlled environment. There is an analogy between porous media and magnetohydrodynamic problems and hence Rayleigh-Bard magnetoconvection problem is practically important. The solution of the velocity and the temperature is in terms of the Bessel functions of the first kind and hyperbolic functions that are further used to study the marginal stability curves, heat transport, and the dynamical system. Symmetric and asymmetric boundaries of the realistic-type are considered on the horizontal and vertical bounding surfaces. The results of these boundaries are compared with those of the idealistic-type which are symmetric. A unified analysis approach is adopted for all boundary combinations in deriving the Lorenz model and studying the nonlinear dynamics. The time-dependent Nusselt numbers incorporating the effect of the curvature of the cylinder accurately captures the enhanced heat transport situation in the regular convective regime. Further, the influence of various parameters on the indicators of chaos such as the rH-plots, Lorenz attractor, bifurcation diagram, and the time series plot is investigated. The rH-plots clearly point to the appearance of chaos and also assist in determining its intensity and periodicity. The trapping region of the solution of the Lorenz model having the shape like that of a rugby-ball is highlighted in the paper. The size of the ellipsoid shrinks with increase in the strength of the magnetic field and also depends on the boundary conditions. 2024

Unsteady thin film flow with ohmic heating and chemical reactions
chemical reactions; Heat transfer; ohmic heating; perturbation method; thin film flow
In this study, we have analyzed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) consequences on the heat and mass transmission within unsteady dissipated liquid film flow. Flow is generated due to stretchable surface accompanied with effects of ohmic heating, chemical reaction and heat absorption. Moreover, the flow governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are further modified into equivalent ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by applying regular perturbation method to get its analytical solution after that we have applied sixth-order RungeKutta technique to get its numerical solution. These two solutions are validating each other in the simulations. Figures are plotted to study the changes in physical quantities like skin friction coefficient, concentration, velocity, temperature, Sherwood and Nusselt number with the variations of Prandtl numbers Pr, parameters of chemical reaction ?, Eckert numbers Ec, magnetic parameter Ha (also known as Hartman number) Schmidt number and coefficient of heat absorption ?.

Determinants of health system efficiency in middle-east countries-DEA and PLS-SEM model approach
Behavioural framework; DEA model; Health outcomes; Malmquist TFP index; PLS-SEM model; Socioeconomic framework
This study presented a radically different approach to efficiency evaluation based on the impact of the Socioeconomic and Behavioral health determinants framework on health outcomes for the countries of Middle-East region. The level of education, employment, and the percentage of the population living in the rural area constitutes the socioeconomic framework. The prevalence of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption formed the behavioral framework. The model considers life expectancy at birth and mortality rate from non-communicable diseases as health outcomes. The econometric models of the PLS-SEM, the DEA, and the Malmquist TFP index are used to analyze the data. The DEA results highlight differences in the impact of socioeconomic and behavioral health determinants on health outcomes across the countries of the Middle-East region. Finally, evidence from the Malmquist TFP index shows an improvement in health production between the periods 20062017. Moreover, a substantial gap in efficiency is observed between economically prosperous countries and others who are less well-off. Furthermore, socioeconomic and behavioral frameworks positively impact life expectancy at birth. Similarly, the two frameworks have a negative impact on the mortality rate from chronic non-communicable diseases. A higher impact on health outcomes is observed in the socioeconomic as a behavioral framework in the model. The studys results have contributed to the policymakers, citizens, and the countrys government to compare the health system efficiencies across the middle-east region, which would help achieve the health outcome more efficiently.

A comprehensive photoluminescence and mechanoluminescence analysis of a ZnS:Mn2+ nano-phosphor with a zinc blende structure is presented. The sample containing quantum dot-sized nanocrystallites was synthesized by the chemical precipitation method and shows excellent orange luminescence at ambient conditions related to the 4T1 ? 6A1 transition. The sample shows stable and identical luminescence behavior under both UV and X-ray excitation at ambient conditions and also exhibits excellent self-powered mechanoluminescence properties. The pressure and temperature-induced luminescence mechanism of the phosphor is also established. The shift of the 4T1 ? 6A1 luminescence band of Mn2+ with both pressure and temperature and the luminescence mechanism is explained via the d5 Tanabe Sugano diagram. The broad luminescence band of the 4T1 ? 6A1 transition shifts from the visible to near-infrared range at a rate of ?35.8 meV GPa?1 with the increase of the pressure and it is subsequently quenched completely at a pressure of 16.41 GPa due to a reversible phase transition from zinc blende (F4?3m) to rocksalt (Fm3?m) phase. The high-pressure and temperature-dependent decay kinetics measurements of the sample luminescence are also reported. 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

A rapid and selective on-off fluorescence detection of lethal pulmonary agent phosgene supplemented with theoretical approach: a cost-effective sensing tool for household bleach and soil analysis
A fluorescent probe, 4-(di-phenylamino)-benzaldehyde oxime (DPBO), was developed comprising 4-(diphenylamino) benzaldehyde as the fluorophore and hydroxyl amine, where the resultant oxime group leads to the formation of a recognition site for the selective on-off fluorescence detection of lethal phosgene with the dimer formation of DPBO through carbonate linkage generated from phosgene. The probe DPBO also exhibits notable spectrofluorometric response in different solvents, as demonstrated by SEM analysis. The detection limit of the probe DPBO towards phosgene was calculated as 21.53 ?M, with a fast reaction response time within 30 s and the fluorescence quenching efficiency of DPBO by phosgene was measured through the Stern-Volmer quenching constant (KSV) estimated at 1.03 104 M?1. Confirmation of the sensing mechanism was achieved through various spectroscopic techniques such as UV-vis, emission spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and computational studies. For practical applications, the sensor DPBO can be utilized for the detection of phosgene in household bleach, soil analysis and dipstick method. 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Linking supply chain resilience with knowledge management for achieving supply chain performance
Dynamic capability theory; Knowledge management; MSMEs; SC performance; SC resilience; Strategies
Purpose: Supply chain (SC) and knowledge management (KM) have been studied; still, there is a need to understand how KM can be used for SC resilience and improving the firms performance. The purpose of the paper is to study and analyze SC resilience strategies based on KM processes to enhance SC performance considering six SC strategies: SC reengineering, collaboration, SC innovation, SC integration, SC agility and SC risk management. Design/methodology/approach: By adopting the dynamic capability theory, the empirical research is conducted on a sample of 312 Indian micro, small to medium enterprises. To evaluate 312 samples, the structural equation modeling approach is adopted. Findings: The study found a is a positive relationship between SC reengineering, SC collaboration, SC integration, SC agility, SC risk management and KM. Nevertheless, the relationship between SC innovation and KM is not significant. This study also found the mediating effect of KM on SC performance, and the results shows that SC reengineering, SC collaboration, SC agility and SC risk management are having complementary mediation, while SC innovation and SC integration did not show any mediation. Originality/value: This is the only research that integrates resilience strategies and KM for improving SC performance. Using KM, SC reengineering will improve SC performance by enhancing readiness and recovery strategies to avoid SC disruption. KM will improve SC collaboration. It will enhance the SC process overall visibility, transparency and so on. Agility leads to increased speed, visibility and flexibility, which aids in dealing with uncertainty in the environment. SCRM entails investments and additional resources (such as equipment and labor) to navigate uncertainty and risks in the SC and improve SC performance. 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Do Bank Characteristics Really Matter for its Environmental Reporting?
Content analysis; ESG; Legitimacy theory; Sustainability reports; Sustainable banking
The last few decades have seen an increasing number of researches in the area of environmental reporting. Institutions across the globe have been extensively reporting their environmental initiatives through their annual reports. There is a dearth of research on environmental reporting in the Indian context. Thus, this study comprehensively analyzes the environmental reporting practices of scheduled banks in India. It further attempts to explore the association between environmental reporting and bank characteristics. The secondary data is collected from the annual reports, sustainability reports, and business responsibility reports for the period 2017-2022. The sample consists of ten top-rated commercial banks chosen based on market capitalization during June 2022. The content analysis technique is used to extract information on environmental practices under twelve major categories. This study employs correlation analysis to examine the association between environmental reporting and bank characteristics. The findings of this study reveal that Indian commercial banks are increasingly reporting environmental information in their bank reports and websites. Further, the results of correlation analysis revealed a significant association between environmental reporting and the banks' age, size, and profitability. Further, this study recommends policymakers and concerned professional bodies introduce additional environmental guidelines and widen the scope of reporting in the banking industry. 2024 National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research.

Effect of Oxygen Flow Rate, Post-annealing Temperature, and Different Electrolyte Concentrations on WO3 Thin Films Deposited by DC Magnetron Sputtering For Electrochromic Applications
electrochromic properties; H2SO4; LiClO4 electrolytes; Oxygen flow rates; sputtering
In this work, tungsten oxide (WO3) films were deposited at room temperature and annealed for 2h at 400C. The electrochromic and electrochemical properties were studied for two different electrolytes. The films were deposited at different oxygen flow rates of 2, 4, and 6 standard cubic centimeters per minute (SCCM). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed structural characterization of amorphous and crystalline phases. UV-visible spectroscopy optical transmittance revealed 91% transmittance, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed the absence of impurities and the presence of W and O. An electrochemical analyzer was used to characterize the deposited and annealed WO3 films immersed in the two different electrolyte solutions (H2SO4 and LiClO4 with oxygen flow rates ranging from 2 SCCM to 6 SCCM). It was found that the H2SO4 electrolyte of an annealed WO3 thin film at 2 SCCM demonstrated high coloring efficiency of 50.18cm2/C, and the LiClO4 electrolyte of an annealed WO3 thin film at 4 SCCM demonstrated high coloring efficiency of 20.06cm2/C.

Effect of Mentha arvensis enriched diet to promote the growth and immune response of Clarias batrachus against Aeromonas hydrophila challenge
Growth performance; Innate immune-related genes; Serum biochemical parameters; Walking cat fish; Wild mint
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of fish fed diet Mentha arvensis extract on growth performance, non-specific immunity and expression of some immune-related genes and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila in Clarias batrachus. Five diets were formulated with 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4% of M. arvensis leaf extract. The results indicated that, compared to the control groups, 2-4% dietary inclusion increased growth and feed consumption. In the dietary inclusion of 3-4% M. arvensis extract groups were increased relative on weight gain, specific growth rate, RBC, WBC, total hemocyte counts, total protein, globulin than control. Fed diet supplements with 3% mint-extract increased the total protein, WBC and globulin and phagocytic indexes and lysozyme activity increased at the 2, 3 and 4% of mint groups relative to the control. The PCR analysis showed that TNF, IL-1, MyD88, and TLRs were increased in the 2-4% fed diet M. arvensis extract groups than the control. These results suggest that 3% of M. arvensis extract significantly influences the immunomodulatory activity and immune-specific genes of C. batrachus. 2024 The Authors

Low-frequency pulse-jitter measurement with the uGMRT I: PSR J0437-4715
pulsar timing method; pulsars: individual: PSR J0437-4715; Radio astronomy
High-precision pulsar timing observations are limited in their accuracy by the jitter noise that appears in the arrival time of pulses. Therefore, it is important to systematically characterise the amplitude of the jitter noise and its variation with frequency. In this paper, we provide jitter measurements from low-frequency wideband observations of PSR J0437 4715 using data obtained as part of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array experiment. We were able to detect jitter in both the 300-500 MHz and 1 260-1 460 MHz observations of the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT). The former is the first jitter measurement for this pulsar below 700 MHz, and the latter is in good agreement with results from previous studies. In addition, at 300-500 MHz, we investigated the frequency dependence of the jitter by calculating the jitter for each sub-banded arrival time of pulses. We found that the jitter amplitude increases with frequency. This trend is opposite as compared to previous studies, indicating that there is a turnover at intermediate frequencies. It will be possible to investigate this in more detail with uGMRT observations at 550-750 MHz and future high-sensitive wideband observations from next generation telescopes, such as the Square Kilometre Array. We also explored the effect of jitter on the high precision dispersion measure (DM) measurements derived from short duration observations. We find that even though the DM precision will be better at lower frequencies due to the smaller amplitude of jitter noise, it will limit the DM precision for high signal-to-noise observations, which are of short durations. This limitation can be overcome by integrating for a long enough duration optimised for a given pulsar. The Author(s), 2024.

Objective: Our study is intended to explore the factors that promote organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) in faith-based organizations, which has the potential to extend the scholarly conversation around a previously unexplored context. Methods: Our study used a purposive, homogeneous sampling technique in selecting the participants. We interviewed 30 employees who have at least 5 years of experience in faith-based organizations. We conducted detailed interviews and subsequent analysis involved a rigorous six-step thematic analysis process to better understand the phenomena being studied. Results: Our study revealed the significance of OCB in faith-based organizations and further elucidated those factors that determine the display of OCBs. Our findings have the power to enhance the existing comprehension of OCBs in different environments, specifically those present in faith-based organizations. Our study broadens our conceptual understanding of OCB in faith-based organizations by adding one more dimension to the existing framework of P. MPodsakoff etal. (1990). Conclusion: Our findings have important implications for organizational scholars in faith-based organizations. Our new conceptual framework offers insights into the distinct characteristics of OCBs in faith-based organizations and suggests directions for future scholars to engage with OCBs from different contexts. 2024 by the Southwestern Social Science Association.
