A comprehensive review of the mechanism, changes, and effect of deep fat frying on the characteristics of restructured foods.

Restructured foods are a blend of various ingredients that are dried or fried to obtain a ready-to-eat product. Several frying techniques have been employed viz., deep fat, microwave, vacuum, air, and spray frying.

Efficiency of CuCrO/Titanium dioxide nanoparticles composite for organic dye removal in aqueous solutions.

Semiconductor metal oxide with TiO nanoparticles removes hazardous compounds from environmental samples. TiO nanoparticles have shown potential as an efficient photocatalyst by being employed as a nano-catalyst for the breakdown of organic contaminants in wastewater samples. To separate substances from contaminated samples, combined UV and visible light irradiation has been used.

Foley catheter compared with controlled release dinoprostone vaginal insert for labor induction after one previous cesarean delivery: A randomized trial.

Objective: To compare Foley catheter and controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal insert on induction-to-delivery interval and maternal satisfaction in women with one previous cesarean delivery.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at the University Malaya Medical Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from December 12, 2018, to May 28, 2019. A total of 78 term women scheduled for labor induction with one previous cesarean delivery who had ripe cervixes, singleton gestation, cephalic presentation, intact membranes, and reassuring cardiotocogram were randomized to Foley catheter or dinoprostone insert.

A multi-scale time-series dataset with benchmark for machine learning in decarbonized energy grids.

The electric grid is a key enabling infrastructure for the ambitious transition towards carbon neutrality as we grapple with climate change. With deepening penetration of renewable resources, the reliable operation of the electric grid becomes increasingly challenging. In this paper, we present PSML, a first-of-its-kind open-access multi-scale time-series dataset, to aid in the development of data-driven machine learning (ML)-based approaches towards reliable operation of future electric grids.

Power of compounding intravitreal Bevacizumab - Experience from a tertiary eye care hospital.

Background: Bevacizumab vials that are commercially available are fractionated into smaller quantities into the form of pre-filled syringes in a sterile and aseptic laboratory setting.

Purpose: To share the long term experience of aliquoting of bevacizumab injections in a tertiary eye care center in India.

Synopsis: Compounding of bevacizumab was found to be a cost-effective and sustainable practice that has benefited more patients with an affordable cost, while maintaining high levels of quality.

Targeted demand response for mitigating price volatility and enhancing grid reliability in synthetic Texas electricity markets.

Demand response (DR) is rapidly gaining attention as a solution to enhance the grid reliability with deep renewable energy penetration. Although studies have demonstrated the benefits of DR in mitigating price volatility, there is limited work considering the choice of locations for DR for maximal impact. We reveal that very small load reductions at a handful of targeted locations can lead to a significant decrease in price volatility and grid congestion levels based on a synthetic Texas grid model.

Environmental controls and influences of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. (Chir pine) plantation on temporal variation in soil carbon dioxide emission and soil organic carbon stock under humid subtropical region.

Soil carbon dioxide emission is a major component of ecosystem respiration, responsible for organic carbon losses from the ecosystem. In Pinus roxburghii Sarg. plantations, higher CO emission coincided with maximum soil moisture and soil temperature during the rainy season (4.

A Cross-Domain Approach to Analyzing the Short-Run Impact of COVID-19 on the US Electricity Sector.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread around the globe in 2020, with the US becoming the epicenter of COVID-19 cases since late March. As the US begins to gradually resume economic activity, it is imperative for policymakers and power system operators to take a scientific approach to understanding and predicting the impact on the electricity sector. Here, we release a first-of-its-kind cross-domain open-access data hub, integrating data from across all existing US wholesale electricity markets with COVID-19 case, weather, mobile device location, and satellite imaging data.

Liquid-based cytology of pigmented phaeohyphomycotic lesion of the palm masquerading as a metastatic tumor.

Phaeohyphomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi, commonly involving the extremities, which present as single or multiple lesions mimicking a benign tumor. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an easy method for the diagnosis of the lesion. Morphology of the fungus is characteristic with no difficulty for cytopathologist for identification; with a close differential diagnosis of Candida and Aspergillosis.

A rare case of bilateral choroidal coloboma within deep posterior staphyloma associated with macular hole retinal detachment.

To report case of bilaterally symmetrical choroidal coloboma within posterior staphyloma with MHRD. This is a case report of a 50year old female presented with diminished vision in both eyes. On examination, she had Bilateral High Myopia with recent onset MHRD associated with symmetrically bilateral Choroidal Coloboma within posterior staphyloma and was operated for MHRD in left eye.

Pectin from muskmelon (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus) peels: extraction optimization and physicochemical properties.

Pectin derived from plant waste sources is currently focused as an economical and eco-friendly approach. Optimization of pectin extraction from muskmelon peel by response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated in this study. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to identify the optimal level of the extraction variables such as time, pH and temperature.

In vitro cytotoxicity effect and antibacterial performance of human lung epithelial cells A549 activity of Zinc oxide doped TiO nanocrystals: Investigation of bio-medical application by chemical method.

We report the synthesis of high quality ZnO doped TiO nanocrystals by chemical method at room temperature (RT), it can cause serious oxidative stress and DNA damage to human lung epithelial cells (A549) lines. Our aim in this study, to reduce the cytotoxicity effect of ZnO doped TiO nanocrystals are widely in biological fields. Several studies have been performed to understand the influence of ZnO doped titanium dioxide (TiO-NPs) on cell function; however the effects of nanoparticle against to exposure on the cell membrane have been duly addressed fascinatingly so far.

A Population based Study on Alcoholism among Adult Males in a Rural Area, Tamil Nadu, India.

Background: India's reputation as a country with a culture of abstinence especially in matters regarding alcohol is underserved. There has been a rapid proliferation of city bars and nightclubs in recent years and people are fast shedding its inhibitions about alcohol as a lifestyle choice. This scenario has led to fears of an undocumented rise in alcohol abuse among all sections of society.
