Galerkin finite element study for mixed convection (TiO-SiO/water) hybrid-nanofluidic flow in a triangular aperture heated beneath.

Fluidity and thermal transport across the triangular aperture with lower lateral inlet and apply placed at the vertical outlet of the chamber which filled with efficient TiO-SiO/water hybrid nanofluid under the parametrical influence. Several parameters are tested like the numbers of Hartmann ([Formula: see text]), Richardson ([Formula: see text]), and Reynolds ([Formula: see text]) were critiqued through streamlines, isotherms, and Nusselt number ([Formula: see text]). Numerical model has to be developed and solved through the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) by discretized with 13,569 triangular elements optimized through grid-independent analysis.

Gastrointestinal Tract Disease Classification from Wireless Endoscopy Images Using Pretrained Deep Learning Model.

Wireless capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive wireless imaging technology that becomes increasingly popular in recent years. One of the major drawbacks of this technology is that it generates a large number of photos that must be analyzed by medical personnel, which takes time. Various research groups have proposed different image processing and machine learning techniques to classify gastrointestinal tract diseases in recent years.

Mucormycosis: An opportunistic pathogen during COVID-19.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) still remains on an upsurge trend. The second wave of this disease has led to panic in many countries, including India and some parts of the world suffering from the third wave. As there are no proper treatment options or remedies available for this deadly infection, supportive care equipment's such as oxygen cylinders, ventilators and heavy use of steroids play a vital role in the management of COVID-19.

Fabrication of dual layered biocompatible herbal biopatch from biological waste for skin - tissue regenerative applications.

A dual layered herbal biopolymeric patch (biopatch) with enhanced wound healing efficiency and skin mimicking functions was fabricated for skin-tissue regenerative applications. In this study, hoof keratin (KE) extracted from biological waste and gelatin (GE) was employed for KE-GE biosheet fabrication using a simple casting method. Further, the top layer of the fabricated KE-GE biosheet was coated with bioactive Matricaria recutita (Chamomile flower) extract (CH) with gelatin through an electrospraying method.

An effective technique for diabetic retinopathy using hybrid machine learning technique.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) stays as an eye issue that has continuously developed in individuals who experienced diabetes. The complexities in diabetes cause harm to the vein at the back of the retina. In outrageous cases, DR could swift apparition disaster or visual impairment.

Novel wastewater surveillance strategy for early detection of coronavirus disease 2019 hotspots.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019, a pandemic of global concern, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has severely revealed the need for public monitoring and efficient screening techniques. Despite the various advancements made in the medical and research field, containment of this virus has proven to be difficult on several levels. As such, it is a necessary requirement to identify possible hotspots in the early stages of any disease.

Follow-up studies in COVID-19 recovered patients - is it mandatory?

The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an illness caused due to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this outbreak a global health emergency and as on April 24, 2020, it has spread to 213 countries, with 25,91,015 confirmed cases and 742,855 cases have been recovered from COVID-19. In this dreadful situation our team has already published an article in the Science of the Total Environment, which elaborates the various aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The influence of ceramic-coated piston crown, exhaust gas recirculation, compression ratio and engine load on the performance and emission behavior of kapok oil-diesel blend operated diesel engine in comparison with thermal analysis.

In this work, the development and usability of kapok oil in diesel engine was intended. With this purpose, the piston crowns are coated with mullite-lanthanum (ML) ceramic composite at varying compositions in order to reduce the heat rejection during combustion process. The kapok oil is blended with diesel fuel consisting of (20% kapok oil-80% diesel) volumetrically named B fuel.

Structural, morphological, optical and biological properties of pure ZnO and agar/zinc oxide nanocomposites.

In this work, ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by in situ chemical precipitation method in the presence of Agar biopolymer. The influence of Agar concentrations on the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO have been investigated. The XRD pattern of Pure ZnO and Agar/ZnO nanocomposites indicates the hexagonal wurtzite phase of ZnO.

Engineering properties of concrete with partial utilization of used foundry sand.

Solid wastes generated from manufacturing industries are increasing at an alarming rate and it is consistently increasing. One such industrial solid waste is Used Foundry Sand (UFS). On the other hand, fine aggregates involved in the concrete are generally river sand, which is scarce, high cost and excavation of the river sand that promote environmental degradation.

Hydrogen bonded charge transfer molecular salt (4-chloro anilinium-3-nitrophthalate) for photophysical and pharmacological applications.

Radical scavenging activity against DPPH radical and binding properties of a hydrogen bonded charge transfer molecular salt 4-chloro anilinium-3-nitrophthalate(CANP) with calf thymus DNA has been studied by electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy. The molecular structure and crystallinity of the CANP salt have been established by carried out powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis which indicated that cation and anion are linked through strong NHO type of hydrogen bond. FTIR spectroscopic study was carried out to know the various functional groups present in the crystal.

Design and Implementation of Improved Electronic Load Controller for Self-Excited Induction Generator for Rural Electrification.

This paper offers an alternative technique, namely, Improved Electronic Load Controller (IELC), which is proposal to improve power quality, maintaining voltage at frequency desired level for rural electrification. The design and development of IELC are considered as microhydroenergy system. The proposed work aims to concentrate on the new schemes for rural electrification with the help of different kinds of hybrid energy systems.

Automatic segmentation of colon in 3D CT images and removal of opacified fluid using cascade feed forward neural network.

Purpose: Colon segmentation is an essential step in the development of computer-aided diagnosis systems based on computed tomography (CT) images. The requirement for the detection of the polyps which lie on the walls of the colon is much needed in the field of medical imaging for diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Methods: The proposed work is focused on designing an efficient automatic colon segmentation algorithm from abdominal slices consisting of colons, partial volume effect, bowels, and lungs.
