Irreversibility analysis of an unsteady micropolar CNT-blood nanofluid flow through a squeezing channel with activation energy-Application in drug delivery.

Background And Objective: Due to the low toxicity, unique physiochemical properties, and appropriate surface modifications, Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are used as target carriers in drug delivery systems. In the present problem, we have considered both single-walled and multi-walled CNTs to study the impact of irreversibility on the micropolar nanofluid flow through a squeezing channel with the base fluid blood. The blood is considered a micropolar fluid in the presence of different blood cells and their rotational nature.

Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions.

Sorghum is one of the world's most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum's growing season and increases yield in temperate regions. However, sorghum's sensitivity to low soil temperatures adversely impacts seed germination.

The Short-Answer Vignette Examination (SAVE): an assessment tool for the core psychiatry clerkship.

Objective: This study aims to develop a vignette-based assessment tool for medical students on the psychiatry clerkship, with the goal of capturing knowledge and clinical reasoning.

Methods: The Short-Answer Vignette Exam (SAVE), four case vignettes with open-ended questions regarding assessment, differential diagnosis, management, and treatment, was developed for and administered to medical students rotating through psychiatry at a university medical school over one academic year (n = 169). The correlation of SAVE scores to resident/faculty evaluations (clinical rating) and Shelf exam scores were analyzed.

Synthesis, structural and luminescence properties of Mn doped ZnO/Zn2SiO4 composite microphosphor.

Manganese doped ZnO/Zn2SiO4 (MZS) composite phosphors were successfully prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The structural and optical properties of as-prepared samples were analysed by means of XRD, SEM, PLE and PL. The result shows that the samples consist of both ZnO and ZnSiO4 phases which confirms the composite phosphor.

White-light emitting Eu³⁺ co-doped ZnO/Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ composite microphosphor.

Eu(3+) co-doped ZnO/Zn2SiO4:Mn(2+) composites were synthesized via conventional solid state reaction route and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) techniques. XRD studies reveal the presence of both ZnO and Zn2SiO4 phases. Photoluminescence properties of the samples were studied using 266 Nd-YAG laser excitations.
