The populace is expanding rapidly, lacking stock of medications, high treatment costs, and symptoms alongside dope fight have been experienced in man-made narcotics, which has prompted a raised significance for the utilization of plants to treat human disorders. The remedial forces of conventional herbs have been perceived since antiquated occasions. This survey features the conventional and pharmacological record of a significant plant Trapanatans known as water chestnut (English), singhara (Urdu) family Trapaceae, Subfamily Rosidae and Division Magnoliophyta. Notwithstanding being an exceptionally nutritious natural product, because of its accessibility for just 2 to 3 months, neglected to get the significance of food handling goliaths. This plant is a significant wellspring of new synthetic substances with potential curing impacts.   Morphological narration: Trapanatans is water coasting herb with leaves of two sorts, fantastically partitioned plume-like submerged leaves borne along the length of the stem, and unified gliding leaves borne in a rosette at the water's surface. The gliding leaves are fan-like molded and have saw-like edges, 2 - 6.5cm width, more extensive than long, serrate or chiseled with complete base and villous underneath. Stems of this plant are elastic and light and can arrive at lengths of up to 16 feet (normal length ranges from 6 to 8 feet as it were). The petioles are appended to the bed of the water by a few parts of the roots. Blossoms are white, very little raised above and wide with a short cone-shaped, with two spines at two edges, the second pair of spines regularly needing. Seeds can stay feasible for as long as 12 years, albeit most will be developed in the initial two years. The plant degrees by the rosettes and natural products parting from the stem and gliding to various districts on flows or by organic products sticking to items, flying creatures, and creatures. Distribution: Trapanatans is water natural product plant, for the most part, found in tropical and sub-tropical zones of the earth. Their normal fluctuate of development incorporates segments of Southern Europe, Africa and, Asia. It been fully-developed in Europe since the Neolithic era and was utilized regularly as foodstuff by the conventional Europeans. As a simple developing plant, it has gotten naturalized in parts of the USA since it was introductorily brought into North America around 1874. It found in moderate waterways, lakes, marshes, lakes and is widely developed in Asia. Water with a pH 7 to 8.2 and alkalinity of 12 to 128 mg/l of calcium carbonate are great for its development. Chemical formation: The literature discloses the existence of starches, phytosterols, saponins, fixed oils and fat in seed concentrates and tannins, flavonoids and synthetic compounds in covering concentrate of products of water caltrop that was extra confirmed by thin layer movement examines. Pharmacological activities: The following are some important and valuable pharmacological activities depicted by this nutritional plant. Pain-relieving Activity: It is accounted for the Pain-relieving movement of methanolic concentrate on the base of water chestnut L.var. bispinosaRoxb by assessing 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg portion on mice against the quality medication pain-relieving at a portion of 30mg/kg. Torment easing movement in the two portions was found to deliver noteworthy (p<0.01). Anti-inflammatory Activity: In 2010, specialists assessed each spread and seed concentrate of products of water chestnut plant for medicine movement via carrageenan inspired edema expanding with 200mg/kg and 300mg/kg portion. Pericarp demonstrated a more secure activity than seed. Antidiabetic Activity: In 2011, researchers believed the antidiabetic drug activity of Wood alcohol extract of T.natans fruit peels (METN) in STZ elicited polygenic disorder in Wistar rats. MTN at the dose of one hundred and two hundred mg/kg orally considerably (p < zero.001) and dose-dependently improved oral aldohexose tolerance, exhibited symptom impact in traditional rats and antidiabetic drug activity in STZ-induced diabetic rats by reducing and normalizing the elevated abstinence glucose levels as compared to those of STZ management cluster. Antimicrobial Activity: In 2007, it was accounted for that prescription movement of different concentrates of water chestnut plant organic product skin by agar plate dispersion philosophy. Most prescription action was found against Gram-negative bacterium. The best antimicrobial movement was with one, 4-dioxin separate and the least action was with rough ether extricate. Antibacterial Activity: It was accounted for in 2010 that the medicament action of organic product concentrate of 2 assortments (Green and red) of water chestnut by the plate dissemination strategy from fuel separate exploitation anti-microbial as standard. The concentrate of red sort of water chestnut (600g) demonstrated high medicament potential (31mm) against Bacilli while green determination (600g) indicated most elevated medicament action (12mm) against every Staph aureus and enteric microorganism Sonnie. Neuroprotective Effect: It was accounted for in 2010 that the hydro-alcoholic concentrate (500mg/kg, PO) of family Trapabispnosa constricted unmistakable light item and increment in super-particle peroxidation and rebuilt peroxidase and catalyst action in cortex inside the mind of ladylike abnormal individual mice. Beneficial aspects of Water Chestnut: Medicine: This is used in a few Ayurvedic arrangements as a supplement, canapé, astringent, diuretic, love potion, cooling, antidiarrhoeal and tonic. It's conjointly useful in lumbar torment, pharyngitis, bilious expressions of love, bronchitis, fatigue, and irritation. Plant conciliates vitiated tyrannid, consuming sensation, hemorrhages, skin maladies, low spinal pain. and general unfitness. Natural products additionally are used in making liniments for the fix of stiffness, bruises and burn from the sun. It's conjointly aforementioned to claim malignant growth forestalling properties. The stem is utilized inside the sort of juice in eye issues. Food and Agriculture: The organic products territory unit either utilized stewed or broil or might be dried and ground into flour, which is commonly utilized as a substitute for arrowroot flour. The natural products territory unit an extraordinary supply of sustenance with Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire starch and two or three superparticles. At the point when crude, the organic products zone unit delicious and fresh, when toasted, the substance mollifies, anyway it despite everything stays new. The pieces zone unit reasonable stockpile of minerals, nutrients, sugars, calcium, phosphate, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, metallic component and nuclear number 19.cesium, sodium, and potassium. Concluding remarks: Trapanatan's organic product might be a savvy supply of foodstuffs and subsequently, the entire plant has changed positive clinical strength impacts. Although it's fluctuated clinical claim to fame impacts, anyway it's the need of the hour to investigate its fortifying qualities at an atomic level with the assistance of changed biotechnological devices and procedures. While exploring underneath alluded examines, it's inferred that the detachment of mixes of this plant should be done and will be utilized for any examinations to clarify the sub-atomic instrument of cooperation of its differed mixes with a natural structure in a few maladies.

Scalar Field Cosmology via Noether Symmetries in Energy-Momentum Squared Gravity

This article examines the analytic solutions of isotropic spacetime with the minimal coupling of scalar field and matter in the context of energy-momentum squared gravity. The scalar field includes quintessence and phantom dark energy models. We evaluate solutions of a physical system through the Noether symmetry approach that provide some viable constraints to choose the cosmological models on the basis of current observations. We consider different models of this theory to establish Noether equations, symmetry generators and corresponding conserved quantities. We compute analytic solutions and examine their graphical representation for various cosmological quantities. The behavior of these quantities is found to be consistent with current observations implying that this theory shows expanding behavior of the universe. We find that symmetry generators and their conserved parameters exist in all cases.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figure

Traversable Wormhole Solutions admitting Noether Symmetry in f(R,T2)f(\mathcal{R,}\mathcal{T}^{2}) Theory

This paper uses the Noether symmetry approach to examine the viable and stable traversable wormhole solutions in the framework of $f(\mathcal{R,}\mathcal{T}^{2})$ theory, where $\mathcal{R}$ is the Ricci scalar and $\mathcal{T}^{2}=\mathcal{T}_{\mu\nu}\mathcal{T}^{\mu\nu}$ is the self-contraction of stress-energy tensor. For this purpose, we consider a specific model of this modified theory to obtain exact solutions of the Noether equations. Further, we formulate the generators of Noether symmetry and first integrals of motion. We analyze the presence of viable and stable traversable wormhole solutions corresponding to different redshift functions. In order to determine whether this theory provides physically viable and stable wormhole geometry or not, we check the graphical behavior of null energy constraint, causality condition and adiabatic index for effective stress-energy tensor. It is found that viable and stable traversable wormhole solutions exist in this modified theory.Comment: 33 pages, 12 figure

Viable Wormhole Solutions in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

In this paper, we use the embedding class-I technique to examine the effect of charge on traversable wormhole geometry in the context of $f(\mathcal{G})$ theory, where $\mathcal{G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet term. For this purpose, we consider static spherical spacetime with anisotropic matter configuration to investigate the wormhole geometry. The Karmarkar condition is used to develop a shape function for the static wormhole structure. Using this developed shape function, we construct a wormhole geometry that satisfies all the required constraints and connects asymptotically flat regions of the spacetime. To analyze the existence of traversable wormhole geometry, we evaluate the behavior of energy conditions for various models of this theory. This study reveals that viable traversable wormhole solutions exist in this modified theory.Comment: 37 pages, 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2311.0550

Weighted p-bits for FPGA implementation of probabilistic circuits

Probabilistic spin logic (PSL) is a recently proposed computing paradigm based on unstable stochastic units called probabilistic bits (p-bits) that can be correlated to form probabilistic circuits (p-circuits). These p-circuits can be used to solve problems of optimization, inference and also to implement precise Boolean functions in an "inverted" mode, where a given Boolean circuit can operate in reverse to find the input combinations that are consistent with a given output. In this paper we present a scalable FPGA implementation of such invertible p-circuits. We implement a "weighted" p-bit that combines stochastic units with localized memory structures. We also present a generalized tile of weighted p-bits to which a large class of problems beyond invertible Boolean logic can be mapped, and how invertibility can be applied to interesting problems such as the NP-complete Subset Sum Problem by solving a small instance of this problem in hardware

Stellar Structures admitting Noether Symmetries in f(R,T)f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T}) Gravity

This paper investigates the geometry of compact stellar objects via Noether symmetry strategy in the framework of curvature-matter coupled gravity. For this purpose, we assume the specific model of this theory to evaluate Noether equations, symmetry generators and corresponding conserved parameters. We use conserved parameters to examine some fascinating attributes of the compact objects for suitable values of the model parameters. It is analyzed that compact objects in this theory depend on the conserved quantities and model parameters. We find that the obtained solutions provide the viability of this process as they are compatible with the astrophysical data.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure
