Studies in Figured Tours of Knight in Two and Higher Dimensions
No full textTour of knight is over a millennium year old puzzle but ‘Figured tour’ of knight is a recent field of research. T. R. Dawson, an English chess problemist and the father of Fairy Chess, coined the term in 1940s. The name figured tour is appropriate for any numbered tour in which certain arithmetically related numbers are arranged in a geometrical pattern. Figured tours have been only looked into two-dimensional boards, mostly on 8x8 board. The author has constructed knight tour with square numbers in fiveleaper {3, 4} + {0, 5} path and various other figured tours on 6x6 board and extended it in three and four dimensional space. Construction of figured tours is a mathematical recreation and can also be used in pedagogy of higher mathematics
Depression and Type 2 Diabetes: Dissecting the Causal Mechanisms
No full textBackground: Depression and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are two prevalent and debilitating chronic conditions that often coexist and exhibit a bidirectional relationship. Objective: This aims was to dissect the causal mechanisms underlying the association between depression and T2D, shedding light on the complex interplay between these two disorders. Methods: This was review paper that will explore about epidemiological evidence that found association between depression and an increased risk of developing T2D, as well as a reciprocal relationship where T2D serves as a risk factor for depression onset. Results: Various biological, psychological, and behavioral mechanisms have been proposed to underlie this bidirectional relationship. Depression is thought to contribute to the development of T2D through dysregulation of neuroendocrine pathways, increased inflammation, alterations in lifestyle behaviors, and poor treatment adherence. Conversely, T2D may exacerbate or precipitate depression through mechanisms involving insulin resistance, hyperglycemia-induced neuronal damage, inflammation, and the impact of chronic illness on psychological well-being. Conclusion: Understanding the causal mechanisms underlying the depression-T2D relationship is crucial for informing clinical practice, public health strategies, and the development of personalized interventions aimed at mitigating the burden of these interconnected disorders
POSTHARVEST APPLICATION OF ANTI-CHILLING MOLECULES
No full textNot AvailableThe present study was carried out to minimize postharvest problems of chilling injury during cold storage by the
application of anti-chilling compounds, viz. salicylic acid (SA), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and a nitric oxide donor (NO). For minimizing chilling injury symptoms summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) fruits were treated with salicylic acid (1.0–1.5 mM) and sodium nitroprusside(1.0–1.25 mM) followed by cold storage at 5±2ºCand 85–90% relative humidity. Among the used anti-chilling molecules, salicylic acid @1.0 mM provides the best results for minimizing chilling injury score (0.74) and proline content (333.87 μg/g) during cold storage. Fruits treated with 1.5 mM SA and 1.0 mM SNP showed a 37.42% and 27.42% lower electrolyte leakage as compared to control. In the case of malondialdehyde (MDA) content, 1.0 and 1.5 mM SA dose showed a ≈39% and ≈36% lower content than control. Higher fruit firmness (7.07 N) retention was found in 1.0 mM sodium nitroprusside and followed by 1.0 mM salicylic acid (6.96 N) treated fruits. Overall 1.0 mM salicylic acid followed by 1.0 mM sodium nitroprusside proves better for prevention of chilling injury and lower production of malondialdehyde content.Not Availabl
A study on the effects of different surfactants on morphology and drug release of Repaglinide Microspheres
No full textEFFECT OF EDIBLE COATINGS ON QUALITY OF SUMMER SQUASH
No full textNot AvailableThe present investigation was carried out with the aim to find out the beneficial effects of edible coating on
postharvest quality of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) under cold storage condition. In our experiments, different edible coatings, viz. gum arabic (5, 10 and 15%) and fruwash were used in order to minimize the excessive moisture loss during postharvest handling and storage. Among the treatments, gum arabic (10%) coating showed better colour retention in terms of Lvalue followed by fruwash treatment. Fruits coated with 10% gum arabic found best for minimizing water loss (more than 50%), respiration rate (≈21%) with higher fruit firmness (7.55 N) as compared with other treatments including control. After 12 days of storage, malondialdehyde content in 10% gum arabic treated fruits (0.141 nmol/g) was recorded significantly lower than control (0.183 nmol/g fruit weight). Highest proline content (235.05 μg/g fruit weight) was recorded in 10% gum arabic while, it was lowest (140.06 μg/g fruit weight) in control. Proline content was ≈68% higher in 10% concentration and ≈30% in 15% gum arabic treated fruit as compared with control after 12th days of storage. Overall 10% gum arabic coated summer squash fruits had better postharvest quality retention characteristics.Not Availabl
PERFORMATIVITAS IDENTITAS GENDER DAN SEKSUALITAS DALAM NOVEL IMARAH YAKUBIAN KARYA ALA AL-ASWANI
No full textThis study examines aspects of the performativity of gender identity and sexuality in the novel Imarah Yakubian by Alaa al-Awani. Through Judith Butler's theory of performativity, the author examines how the identity and gender sexuality performativity of the characters and how the attitude of the characters in the novel Imarah Yaqubian in responding to the dominance of heteronormativity.The results showed that Egyptian society which was dominated by heteronormativity ideology gave birth to the marginalization of homosexuals. Individuals who have 'deviant' gender and sexuality tendencies respond to compliance, negotiation, or resistance. Compliance in the novel IY was shown by Abduh by positioning and publicly showing himself as what was considered normal by the general public. The moderate-negotiate response was demonstrated by Hatim al-Rashid's figure by showing the things that were acceptable to the public in the public sphere and showing what he wanted in the private sphere
Carbon nanotubes as a novel drug delivery system for anticancer therapy: a review
No full textCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered in 1991 and shown to have certain unique physicochemical properties, attracting considerable interest in their application in various fields including drug delivery. The unique properties of CNTs such as ease of cellular uptake, high drug loading, thermal ablation, among others, render them useful for cancer therapy. Cancer is one of the most challenging diseases of modern times because its therapy involves distinguishing normal healthy cells from affected cells. Here, CNTs play a major role because phenomena such as EPR, allow CNTs to distinguish normal cells from affected ones, the Holy Grail in cancer therapy. Considerable work has been done on CNTs as drug delivery systems over the last two decades. However, concerns over certain issues such as biocompatibility and toxicity have been raised and warrant extensive research in this field
