Tracking perishable foods in the supply chain using chain of things technology.

Modern food supply chains are intrinsically sophisticated due to their multi-participant and multi-echelon structure, which are challenging to handle high turbulent business environment. The development of Perishable Food Supply Chains (PFSC) has to be strong enough to manage any type of disruptions in the food industry. At the same time, the food processing industry must also take responsibility for the social and environmental consequences of their deeds.

Reshaping healthcare supply chain using chain-of-things technology and key lessons experienced from COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 (Corona virus disease 2019) pandemic continues to slash through the entire humanity on the earth causing an international health crisis and financial uncertainty. The pandemic has formed a colossal disruption in supply chain networks. It has caused piling higher mortality in patients with comorbidities and generated a surging demand for critical care equipment, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and cutting-edge technologies.

Spirituality as intrinsic motivational factor and health related quality of life among hospitalized male patients practicing Hinduism in India.

Introduction: Intrinsic motivation denotes doing an activity for itself and deriving pleasure and satisfaction from involvement. Intrinsic spirituality as the most important motive or driving factor in a person's life has a significant influence on the perception of one's own physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environmental health.

Aim: The study aims to investigate the influence of intrinsic spirituality as a motivational factor on the dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hospitalized patients.

Data on in parts of Nellore Coast, southeast coast of India.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), were applied to analyze the organic matrix of two . The are mineral structure and calcium carbonate crystallized as aragonite. The FT-IR spectra showed Alkyl Halide, Alkanes, Alcohols, Amides, Aromatic, and Hydroxyl groups in the organic matrix of the whole (organic and mineral) Molluscan shells.

Organic matter from benthic foraminifera shells by FT-IR spectroscopy: A study on Tupilipalem, South east coast of India.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the variations in organic matters of benthic foraminifera from four samples collected from beach environments from brackish environments along Tupilipalem coast (South east coast of India). Common absorption bands were observed as peaks in the range of 3600-3400 cm, 3000-2850 cm, 1750-1740 cm, 1640-1600 cm, 1450-1350 cm, 885-870 cm and 725-675 cm in all the shells of . The FTIR spectrum of station-1 represents the presence of alkanes (CH) and alkyl halide (C-F stretching) with absorptions at the range 1385-1255 and 1350-1150 cm were observed and ether (C-O stretching) absorption band was observed at stations 1 and 3 with wavenumber of 1115 cm and 1117 cm respectively.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations as biomarker for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC).

Context: Mutations in tyrosine kinase domain (TK) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) lead to signalling interruptions in several cancers.

Objective: To understand EGFR mutations in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), and their role as biomarkers.

Methods: Screened 129 HNSCC patients and 150 controls for mutations in the TK domain using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), single strand confirmatory polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing.

Antimicrobial activity of highly stable silver nanoparticles embedded in agar-agar matrix as a thin film.

Highly stable silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in agar-agar (Ag/agar) as inorganic-organic hybrid were obtained as free-standing film by in situ reduction of silver nitrate by ethanol. The antimicrobial activity of Ag/agar film on Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S.
