Genome wide landscaping of copy number variations for horse inter-breed variability.

Copy number variations (CNVs) have become widely acknowledged as a significant source of genomic variability and phenotypic variance. To understand the genetic variants in horses, CNVs from six Indian horse breeds, Manipuri, Zanskari, Bhutia, Spiti, Kathiawari and Marwari were discovered using Axiom Equine Genotyping Array. These breeds differed in agro-climatic adaptation with distinct phenotypic characters.

Exploring heavy metal dynamics and risks from dust and soil in urban cities of Jharkhand, India.

Jharkhand is a minerally prosperous state with geogenic and industrial origins of metals. This study assesses the seasonal variation of pseudo-total metal contents (Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Al) and related contamination and risks in indoor dust, street dust, and soils of four major cities of Jharkhand. Across cities and seasons, Zn, Cu, and Pb were the most common pollutants.

l-Cysteine-Modified Carbon Dots Derived from for Thiram Pesticides Identification on Edible Perilla Leaves.

In this work, environmentally friendly fluorescent carbon dots (C-dots) were developed for the purpose of thiram identification in the leaves of perilla plants. Powdered plant petals from were hydrothermally combined to create C-dots. Analytical techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, and photoluminescence were employed to examine the properties of C-dots.

Thermoelectric behavior of (BaSrCaLaNa)CoO high entropy cobaltate-based perovskite.

Oxides are considered as promising thermoelectric materials due to their excellent thermal and chemical stability at elevated temperatures. However, their thermoelectric performances are hindered by high thermal conductivity due to the relatively simple structure compared to the layered or cage-like structure of intermetallics and chalcogenides. In this study, we have successfully crafted a novel cobaltate-based high-entropy oxide perovskite, (BaSrCaLaNa)CoO (BSCLN), based on detailed thermodynamic calculation.
