Optimizing cold storage for uniform airflow and temperature distribution in apple preservation using CFD simulation.

Apples are preserved in cold storage within standard size crates to avoid injury during handling and are stacked in a specific manner to promote adequate air circulation. This research builds an air flow and heat transfer model of a cold room (5.75 m × 3.

Serum Resistin as a Potential Mortality Predictor in Neonatal Sepsis.

Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of serum resistin levels as a prognostic indicator for mortality in neonates diagnosed with sepsis. Methodology This one-year prospective study at Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak, India, included 151 neonates categorized into two groups based on blood culture results: group 1 (n=86) included those with culture-negative, probable sepsis and group 2 (n=65) included those with culture-positive, proven sepsis. Blood samples obtained pre-treatment underwent comprehensive analysis, including complete blood count, C-reactive protein assessment, micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and resistin level measurement via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Nanoparticles assisted intra and transdermic delivery of antifungal ointment: an updated review.

This review paper highlights the trans-dermic delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) based antifungal ointments with the help of nanotechnology. It also describes the novel trans-dermal approach utilizing various nanoparticles which enables an efficient delivery to the target site. This current review gives an overview about past research and developments as well as the current nanoparticle-based ointments.

Development of an all-solid-state air-cooled high-power blue diode laser for metal processing.

We present the design and development of an all-solid-state (fluid/refrigerant-free) 100 W scale blue-laser system and show its applications in precision copper works. We combine powerful laser-diode arrays with Peltier chips on a compact laser head to achieve stable thermal and optical performance. Good agreement between the thermal simulation of the 3D laser head and experiments validates stable thermal performance.
