Inversely designed miniature light filtering structures with back-reflection minimization
No full textOn-chip silicon photonic filters acting as spectral shapers for the input spectrum are important in various applications including optical communication, computing, and spectroscopy sensing. We used the photonics inverse design framework, aided by the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, to obtain miniature and efficient filtering structures in the Silicon on Insulator (SOI) platform. These optical filters are less than 10 µm, or just a few wavelengths, in size along any dimension. The investigated structures demonstrate good light filtering characteristic, with various filter types and wavelength ranges. The performance of designed filters is comparable to widely-used mm-long Bragg grating filters, while being a tiny fraction of their size. We also study a class of filters to directly resolve the issue of removing back reflected light without using a circulator or adding a third port (as is generally done) using the optimization process. Our structures are expected to have a much wider range of applications than grating-type filters, primarily due to their miniature footprint, independence from external devices like circulators for back-reflection control, and greater tolerance to thermal effects. Our work also highlights the possibility of designing and fabricating photonic components as a next step, by inversely designing components that best match a given set of requirements instead of depending on general conventional devices

An Overview on Synthetic Biology: its Classification, Engineering Approaches, and Applications of Synthetic Biology
No full textSynthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on living organisms and systems, employing engineering techniques to create innovative biological devices, systems, and components. It represents the convergence of old and new approaches, bridging the gap between chemistry and biology, with synthetic chemistry laying the foundation for its emergence. At its core, synthetic biology aims to develop and engineer biological systems by bringing together engineers and biologists to design and construct novel biomolecular parts, circuits, and pathways. These constructs are then utilized to reconstruct, reanalyze, and reprogram organisms for various purposes. There are five primary categories within synthetic biology: bioengineering, synthetic genome, protocell synthetic biology, unconventional molecular biology, and in silico techniques. Traditionally, four engineering approaches have been employed in synthetic biology, including top-down, parallel, orthogonal, and bottom-up methods. These approaches provide a systematic and rational way of reassembling and reconstructing biological components, enabling the creation of functional biological devices, systems, and organisms with known, useful, and novel functions. Synthetic biology holds the promise of providing efficient solutions to various significant challenges in the modern world, encompassing areas such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and bioremediation. By leveraging engineering methods in the realm of biology, synthetic biology benefits from over 50 years of molecular biological and functional genomic research, along with advanced technologies that allow for the analysis, synthesis, assembly, modification, and transfer of genetic components into living organisms. In essence, synthetic biology offers an exciting avenue to unlock the potential of biological systems and revolutionize multiple industries through innovative modifications and breakthrough innovations

Analysis of microstructure and mechanical properties of bismuth-doped SAC305 lead-free solder alloy at high temperature
No full textSAC305 lead-free solder alloy is widely used in the electronic industry. However, the problems associated with the growth formation of intermetallic compounds need further research, especially at high temperatures. This study investigates the doping of Bismuth into SAC305 in the various compositions of 1, 2, and 3 wt.%. The microstructure in terms of intermetallic compound particles and mechanical properties was examined after thermal aging at temperatures of 100 °C and 200 °C for 60 h. The microstructure examination was observed using scanning electron microscopy, and the chemical composition of each alloy was confirmed with an energy dispersive X-ray. Tensile tests were performed to find the mechanical properties such as yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. The intermetallic compound’s phase analysis was identified using X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry was done to study the temperature curves for melting points. Results showed that the addition of Bismuth refined the microstructure by suppressing the growth of intermetallic compounds, which subsequently improved the mechanical properties. The thermal aging made the microstructure coarsen and degraded the mechanical properties. However, the most improved performance was observed with a Bismuth addition of 3 wt.% into SAC305. Furthermore, a decrease in the melting temperature was observed, especially at Bismuth compositions of 3 wt.%

Association of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults with type 3 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome—a diagnostic challenge
No full textAutoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APS) encompass multiple endocrine gland insufficiencies associated with autoimmune disease. This case report underscores the importance of recognising the association between latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) and type 3 polyglandular syndrome. A 42-year-old man belonging to Rawalpindi, Pakistan, presented to the outpatient department (OPD) of Ali Medical Centre, Islamabad, in January 2023 with the complaints of extreme thirst and frequent urination. The patient reported consistently raised appetite and eating four to five meals a day along with abrupt weight loss, dry mouth, fatigue occasional dizziness, and dyspnoea. He was diagnosed with type 3 polyglandular syndrome with association of LADA. Daily administration of 10 units of glargine insulin, along with six units of rapid-acting insulin, was prescribed. The patient's HbA1c level reduced in a few months after successive follow-up.
