Physical, thermal and structural properties of 1ChCl: 2 Urea based ionic liquids
No full textFourth generation of ionic liquids, relatively cheaper and environmental friendly, is called deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Generally, at present time are extensively recognized as novel remarkable as well as green alternative solvents to the conventional ionic liquids owing to their low cost and tolerance to moisture. DESs first came to the public vision in 2001, since then, researches and applications of deep eutectic solvents can cover, almost, all of the fields of science. In this study the physical, thermal and structural properties of 1ChCl: 2Urea based ionic liquids is reported. Firstly, the physical properties, in terms of viscosity, conductivity and density as a function of temperature are investigated intensively. Later, the microscopic structure of 1ChCl: 2Urea is studied by means of FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, the thermal properties, in terms of melting temperature and thermal stability, are also reported in this investigation. Overall, the obtained data and inspections are in an excellent agreement with the previous studies
Fisheries in atolls- Tradeoffs between harvest and conservation
No full textAtolls are ring shaped coral reefs including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially
or completely and with or without a coral island/cays on the rim. Most of the world’s atolls
are in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Lakshadweep islands, Maldives and the Chagos
Archipelago are the atolls in the Indian Ocean. Lakshadweep are the only atoll islands in
India. They lie scattered in the Arabian Sea between Latitude 8.26° to 12.4° N and Longitude
71.7°-73.75° E, comprising of 36 islands, 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks. These islands
consist of coral formations built upon the Laccadive-Chagos submarine ridge rising steeply
from a depth of about 1500 m to 4000 m off the west coast of India. While the total land
area is 30 sq.km, the length of the coastline is 132 km and lagoon area of 4200 sq.km. Its
territorial water spread is 20000 sq.km and it constitutes 0.4 million sq.km to the EEZ of
Indian Union. Out of the 36 islands, 11 are inhabited with a population of 64,473 (2011
census). The atolls have 4 distinct biomes comprising of the islands, lagoons, reefs and the
Open Ocean. Few threats to the atoll systems are sea level rise, salt water intrusion, reduced
availability of fresh water, coral bleaching, disturbances to reef ecosystem, shrinking of
livelihood and excessive dependence on external resources, excessive harvest of reef
resources etc
Unsteady Heat and Mass Transfer MHD Flow of Nano-Fluids with Buoyancy and Variable Thermal Conductivity
No full textAbstract: Scientists and engineers have conducted a considerable lot of experimental and theoretical study to increase the productivity of industrial operations. Experimental evidence from engineers and scientists shows that heat transfer is necessary for excellent multi scale production naturally, continuous phase liquids are used to achieve thermal characteristics. However, due to the limitations of heat transmission, their significance is constrained. We present a mathematical model for unsteady heat and mass transfer in MHD flow of Nano-fluid with buoyancy and variable thermal conductivity. Using self-similar variables, the coupled non-linear system of equations governing the boundary-layer flows of Nano-fluids were converted into a two-point boundary value problem. The dsolve command with the numeric option on a real-valued two-point boundary value problem (BVP) is used to finds a numerical solution for our system of equations. Computation is performed in both hardware precision and arbitrary precision. The output of the computation is plotted using the ode plot generator odeplot and displayed using Maple plot display, and wall rate transfer is extracted. From the result, increase in thermal buoyancy, unsteadiness parameter and suction parameter are seen to increase velocity distributions. Temperature boundary layer is enhanced with increase in unsteadiness parameter, Brownian motion parameter and Eckert number while radiation, thermophoretic diffusion parameter, reactivity parameter, thermal conductivity and suction enhances species concentration.

Ultrasonographic Technique Evaluation of Antihypertrophic Scar Activity of M. cavendishii Peel Extract in Newzealand Rabbit Ear Scar Model
No full textBackground: Hypertrophic scars are characterized by continuous, expansive, slow growth, with spherical shape outward skin, clear margin, progressive expansion, absent skin infiltration and high recurrence rate after injury to the deep dermis. Evaluation of this scar in New Zealand rabbit ear after administration of different doses of Musa cavendeshii peel extracts provide an informative data in monitoring the changes in diameter, length and area using ultrasound scan techniques supported by vancouver scar scale indices.
Objective: To establish the use of ultrasound scan techniques in monitoring antihypertrophic scar activity of M. cavendishii peel extracts in rabbits ear scar model.
Methodology: Full thickness excisional wound was created to the cartilaginous surface of the ventral region of the rabbit ear marked with blue biro pen of 6 mm in mimic rectangular length of used x-ray film. Vancouver scar scale and high frequency laptop ultrasound (C5® Sonostar, China) was used to evaluate the scar regression for a month in the different doses of the extracts.
Results: The results revealed a significant decrease in all the parameters used during the 4 weeks monitoring of the scar. At week one, the result revealed the extract at 5000 mg/kg was able to reduce the hyper-echogenic area of scar (09.48 ± 0.20) as compared to the distilled water group (11.20 ± 0.00). This result shows a statistical reduction of 01.72 mm as noticed by ultrasound monitoring and thread used in Vancouver scar scale. Within the same week of study, the length (12.30 ± 0.20) of the scar was also shown to be reduced by the extract at dose 5000 mg/kg when monitored with the ultrasound and this was the same as the area (0.79 ± 0.03) as compared to the distilled water group.
Conclusion: Ultrasound technique was found to be effective in measuring the progress of hypertrophic scar created in rabbit ear scar model after administration of M. cavendishii peel extracts.

Two decades of neuroscience publication trends in Africa
No full textAbstract: Neuroscience research in Africa remains sparse. Devising new policies to boost Africa’s neuroscience landscape is imperative, but these must be based on accurate data on research outputs which is largely lacking. Such data must reflect the heterogeneity of research environments across the continent’s 54 countries. Here, we analyse neuroscience publications affiliated with African institutions between 1996 and 2017. Of 12,326 PubMed indexed publications, 5,219 show clear evidence that the work was performed in Africa and led by African-based researchers - on average ~5 per country and year. From here, we extract information on journals and citations, funding, international coauthorships and techniques used. For reference, we also extract the same metrics from 220 randomly selected publications each from the UK, USA, Australia, Japan and Brazil. Our dataset provides insights into the current state of African neuroscience research in a global context
On the performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) using FPGA
No full textIn this paper, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is designed and implemented for the fifth generation (5G) of multi-user wireless communication. Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is considered for the implementation of this technique for two users. NOMA is applied in downlink phase of the base-station (BS) by applying power allocation mechanism for far and near users, in which one signal contains the superposition of two scaled signals depending on the distance of each user from the BS. We assume an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel for each user in the presence of the interference due to the non-orthogonality between the two users’ signals. Therefore, successive-interference cancellation (SIC) is exploited to remove the undesired signal of the other user. The outage probability and the bit-error rate performance are presented over different signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Furthermore, Monte-Carlo simulations via Matlab are utilized to verify the results obtained by FPGA, which show exact-close match
