No full textThe case of S. Nithya v. The Secretary to the Union of India & Ors., decided by the High Court of Madras on 19 January 2022, marks a significant step towards promoting good governance in the realm of sports in India. The case highlights that sports governance issues have penetrated all levels of the system, and it advocates for transparency, meritbased athlete selection, and the involvement of experienced sports personnel in decisionmaking processes. The commentary highlights the judgment’s significance in terms of compliance with the National Sports Development Code, 2011, the need for statutory regulation of sports federations in Tamil Nadu, and athlete participation on sports boards. It critically analyses the board composition of federations and recommends the restriction of executive board membership to sportspersons. Although a High Court judgment, the decision has the potential to pave the way for increased accountability, representation, and legal regulation towards a more transparent and inclusive sport governance framework in Indi

Cloning of MBP-free Protein Variants Using Gibson Assembly
No full textHigh throughput screening to select for ATP/GTP binding proteins from primordial-like proteins yielded approximately 20 variants with high binding ability. These protein variants with polyhistidine (His) and Maltose Binding Protein (MBP) tags were expressed in Eschericia coli. Tags were added to aid in purification and solubility, but large size of tags caused issues with protein crystallization. Gibson Assembly was explored as a method to successfully clone protein variants without an MBP tag. TEV protease cleavage of His and MBP tagged proteins was also explored to separate MBP from the free protein variants for characterization.This research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) and by the National Aeronautics and Space Association (NASA) under the award 80NSSC21K0595.Malisetti, Nithya, S; Soltau, Alexander, D; Winslow, Peter; Seelig, Burckhard.

Thermal decomposition kinetics and combustion performance of paraffin-based fuel in the presence of CeO2 catalyst
No full textIn recent years, significant developments have been made in solid-fuel combustion. Paraffin-based fuels could be a potential solid fuel for hybrid and ramjet applications due to their high regression rate, low cost, and minimal environmental impact. This study examines the thermal and combustion performance of paraffin-based fuels loaded with CeO2 combustion catalysts and Al additive. A typical melt-cast technique was used to prepare three different fuel formulations, which are paraffin/10 wt.% of Al (S2), paraffin/10 wt.% of CeO2 (S3), and CeO2-Al (10:10 wt.%) binary composite (S4). The pure paraffin (S1) fuel was manufactured as a reference formulation. The CeO2-Al binary composite powder was prepared by ball-milling of CeO2 and Al powders. The CeO2 and Al nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size distribution (PSD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The PSD study revealed that the majority of CeO2, Al, and CeO2-Al binary composite particles are 29 nm, 34 nm, and 26 nm in size, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to investigate the effect of CeO2 and Al on the thermal decomposition of paraffin. The results indicate that the paraffin decomposes faster and at a higher rate when CeO2 and CeO2-Al binary composite additives were added. The activation energy of paraffin-based fuel (S4) was reduced from 254 kJ/mol to 214 kJ/mol when a CeO2-Al combustion catalyst was added. The lab-scale ballistic tests showed that the average regression rate of paraffin-Al (S2) and paraffin-CeO2(S3) samples increased in the range of 1.1-1.4 mm/s and 1.12-1.38 mm/s, respectively, whereas, with the CeO2-Al binary composite (S4) sample, a reasonable improvement of 1.15 mm/s to 1.49 mm/s was reported
