Mesoporous graphitic carbon electrodes derived from boat-fruited shells of Sterculia Foetida for symmetric supercapacitors for energy storage applications.

In recent years, intensive research efforts have focused on translating biomass waste into value-added carbon materials broadcasted for their significant role in energy and environmental applications. For the first time, high-performance carbonaceous materials for energy storage applications were developed from the multi-void structure of the boat-fruited shells of Sterculia Foetida (SF). In that view, synthesized mesoporous graphitic activated carbon (g-AC) via the combination of carbonization at various elevating temperatures of 700, 800, and 900 °C, respectively, and alkali activation by KOH, with a high specific surface area of 1040.

Combining general and central measures of adiposity to identify risk of hypertension: a cross-sectional survey in rural India.

Aim: In three socioeconomically diverse regions of rural India, we determined the optimal cut-offs for definition of overweight, the prevalence of overweight, and the relationships between measures of overweight and risk of hypertension.

Subjects And Methods: Villages were randomly sampled within rural Trivandrum, West Godavari, and Rishi Valley. Sampling of individuals was stratified by age group and sex.

Antibacterial, Antioxidant, Larvicidal and Anticancer Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Extracts from Fruits of and Flowers of .

The present study aimed to analyze the in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant, larvicidal and cytotoxicity properties of green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using aqueous extracts from fruits of Lagerstroemia speciosa and flowers of . Synthesized Ag NPs were characterized using UV-DRS, FTIR, XRD, DLS, and High-Resolution SEM and TEM analyses. Absorption wavelength was observed at 386 nm by UV-DRS analysis and energy band gap was calculated as 3.

Current understandings and perspectives of petroleum hydrocarbons in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease: a global concern.

Over the last few decades, the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative illnesses has risen rapidly. Although the aetiology remains unclear, evidence is mounting that exposure to persistent hydrocarbon pollutants is a substantial risk factor, predisposing a person to neurological diseases later in life. Epidemiological studies correlate environmental hydrocarbon exposure to brain disorders including neuropathies, cognitive, motor and sensory impairments; neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD); and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

Additive association of knowledge and awareness on control of hypertension: a cross-sectional survey in rural India.

Objective: To determine whether there is an interaction between knowledge about hypertension and awareness of hypertension on the treatment and control of hypertension in three regions of South India at different stages of epidemiological transition (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/HJH/B426).
