A Unified Approach to Two-Dimensional Brinkman-Bénard Convection of Newtonian Liquids in Cylindrical and Rectangular Enclosures.

A unified model for the analysis of two-dimensional Brinkman-Bénard/Rayleigh-Bénard/ Darcy-Bénard convection in cylindrical and rectangular enclosures (CE/RE) saturated by a Newtonian liquid is presented by adopting the local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model for the heat transfer between fluid and solid phases. The actual thermophysical properties of water and porous media are used. The range of permissible values for all the parameters is calculated and used in the analysis.

Profiles of Victimized Outpatients with Severe Mental Illness in India.

Persons with severe mental illness (PwSMI) are at risk of being victimized due to persistent cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, which can become potential threats for effective reintegration into the community. A total of 217 PwSMI, receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment from a tertiary hospital, were screened for abuse, and if they were identified as abuse, then information about contextual factors contributing to abuse, sociodemographic, family, and clinical and legal profiles was created. Overall, 150 PwSMI were victimized, of which 56% were females, 50.

Viscosity-sensitive and AIE-active bimodal fluorescent probe for the selective detection of OCl and Cu: a dual sensing approach DFT and biological studies using green gram seeds.

A novel dual-mode viscosity-sensitive and AIE-active fluorescent chemosensor based on the naphthalene coupled pyrene (NCP) moiety was designed and synthesized for the selective detection of OCl and Cu. In non-viscous media, NCP exhibited weak fluorescence; however, with an increase in viscosity using various proportions of glycerol, the fluorescence intensity was enhanced to 461 nm with a 6-fold increase in fluorescence quantum yields, which could be utilized for the quantitative determination of viscosity. Interestingly, NCP exhibited novel AIE characteristics in terms of size and growth in HO-CHCN mixtures with high water contents and different volume percentage of water, which was investigated using fluorescence, DLS study and SEM analysis.

Integrating spiritual disposition intervention into behavioral medicine: A case report on systemic lupus erythematosus from India.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory systemic autoimmune disease.

Biopolymers as promising vehicles for drug delivery to the brain.

The brain is a privileged organ, tightly guarded by a network of endothelial cells, pericytes, and glial cells called the blood brain barrier. This barrier facilitates tight regulation of the transport of molecules, ions, and cells from the blood to the brain. While this feature ensures protection to the brain, it also presents a challenge for drug delivery for brain diseases.
