Magnetization, magnetostriction and dielectric constant measurements are performed on single crystals of quasi-one-dimensional Ising spin chain CoNbO at temperatures below and above the antiferromagnetic phase transition. Field-induced magnetic transitions are clearly reflected in magnetodielectric and magnetostriction data. Sharp anomalies are observed around the critical fields of antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic and ferrimagnetic to saturated-paramagnetic transition in both magnetodielectric and magnetostriction experiments. Detailed analysis of temperature and field dependence of dielectric constant and magnetostriction suggests that spins are coupled with lattice as well as charges in CoNbO. Below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature, the overall resemblance in anomalies, observed in various physical parameters such as magnetization, dielectric constant, magnetostriction and magnetic entropy change gives a deeper insight about the influence of spin configuration on these parameters in CoNbO.

This study evaluated the effects of malic acid vacuum microwave preconditioning (MVMP) on lotus root (LR) by examining its moisture content, dielectric properties, microstructure, and starch characteristics, including modifications in starch structure and composition. Dielectric properties and LF-NMR indicated that the dielectric constant (ε') was closely associated to moisture content and state, while changes in water migration depended on microwave power and the dielectric loss factor (ε″). Increased microwave power and malic acid concentration resulted in microstructural damage (indentation and breakage of starch granules) and starch hydrolysis into smaller particles.

This investigation delves into the extraction of polyphenols from the flowers of Tabebuia rosea using a basic maceration approach with acetone, ethanol, and methanol as solvents. The spectroscopic analysis of the dye obtained confirms the existence of functional groups in the polyphenol extract. The study also explores optoelectronic, fluorescence, and photometric characteristics associated with polyphenols.

Two-dimensional organic-inorganic perovskites have garnered extensive interest owing to their unique structure and optoelectronic performance. However, their loose structures complicate the elucidation of mechanisms and tend to cause uncertainty and variations in experimental and calculated results. This can generally be rooted in dynamically swinging spacer molecules through two mechanisms: one is the intrinsic geometric steric effect, and the other is related to the electronic effect orbital overlapping and electronic screening.

In this paper, the dielectric behaviour of coconut oil within the frequency range 100 kHz to 30 MHz between temperature 30 °C-50 °C has been observed. The measured values of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss show notable variation with frequency and temperature for pure coconut oil. It is noticed that the dielectric constant (՛) and dielectric loss (՛՛) of coconut oil decreases with increasing temperature.

Soil bacterial communities are crucial to various ecosystem services, with significant implications for environmental processes and human health. Delivering functional bacterial strains to target locations enhances the preferred ecological features. However, the delivery process is often constrained by limited bacterial transport through low-permeability soil.
