Synthesis And Characterization Of Co-Doped SnO2/TiO2 Semiconductor Nano Crystallites Via Sol-Gel Method
SnO2/TiO2 nano particles are novel wide band gap semiconductors with modified applications of SnO2 and TiO2 in some fields including gas sensing, photo catalytic, solar cells and so on. The Co-doped SnO2/TiO2 nano particles were obtained via sol-gel method with different amounts of doping material as 2.5 %, 6 % and 10 mol %. The crystallite sizes of resulting material were from 3.8 nm for 0.1 wt % Co-doped SnO2/TiO2 to 19.1 nm for un-doped. Morphology and nanostructure of the crystalline SnO2/TiO2 nano particles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It has been shown that fine semiconductor nano structures were formed.

A Simple Sol Gel Protocol Towards Synthesis Of Semiconducting Oxide Nanomaterial
Nanostructured Tin oxide (SnO2), powders was synthesized by employing a novel Sol-gel protocol at RT. A wide variety of techniques such as energy – dispersive spectroscopy(EDX), N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), have been used to study the formation process and characterization of the nanoparticles obtained. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been applied to find out about the shape and size distribution of the particles. The nanoparticles thus synthesized were monodispersed, with an average particle size of ~ 10 nm and spherical in shape. The EDX analysis revealed the presence of Sn, O signal in the synthesized nanoparticles confirming the purity of the synthesized samples. This protocol appears promising for application in large-scale synthesis of nanoparticles.

Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BackgroundDisorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11, or a subset of cases of congenital, neonatal, and infectious conditions that cause neurological damage. Here, we estimate nervous system health loss caused by 37 unique conditions and their associated risk factors globally, regionally, and nationally from 1990 to 2021.MethodsWe estimated mortality, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs), by age and sex in 204 countries and territories, from 1990 to 2021. We included morbidity and deaths due to neurological conditions, for which health loss is directly due to damage to the CNS or peripheral nervous system. We also isolated neurological health loss from conditions for which nervous system morbidity is a consequence, but not the primary feature, including a subset of congenital conditions (ie, chromosomal anomalies and congenital birth defects), neonatal conditions (ie, jaundice, preterm birth, and sepsis), infectious diseases (ie, COVID-19, cystic echinococcosis, malaria, syphilis, and Zika virus disease), and diabetic neuropathy. By conducting a sequela-level analysis of the health outcomes for these conditions, only cases where nervous system damage occurred were included, and YLDs were recalculated to isolate the non-fatal burden directly attributable to nervous system health loss. A comorbidity correction was used to calculate total prevalence of all conditions that affect the nervous system combined.FindingsGlobally, the 37 conditions affecting the nervous system were collectively ranked as the leading group cause of DALYs in 2021 (443 million, 95% UI 378–521), affecting 3·40 billion (3·20–3·62) individuals (43·1%, 40·5–45·9 of the global population); global DALY counts attributed to these conditions increased by 18·2% (8·7–26·7) between 1990 and 2021. Age-standardised rates of deaths per 100 000 people attributed to these conditions decreased from 1990 to 2021 by 33·6% (27·6–38·8), and age-standardised rates of DALYs attributed to these conditions decreased by 27·0% (21·5–32·4). Age-standardised prevalence was almost stable, with a change of 1·5% (0·7–2·4). The ten conditions with the highest age-standardised DALYs in 2021 were stroke, neonatal encephalopathy, migraine, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, diabetic neuropathy, meningitis, epilepsy, neurological complications due to preterm birth, autism spectrum disorder, and nervous system cancer.InterpretationAs the leading cause of overall disease burden in the world, with increasing global DALY counts, effective prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation strategies for disorders affecting the nervous system are needed
AACR2, MARC21 and WINISIS: A Compatibility Study
MAchine Readable Catalogues (MARCs) are designed keeping in view functions like, printing bibliographies, card catalogues, data exchange, resource sharing using database management system (DBMS). These functions are directly or indirectly influenced by the choice of cataloguing code used. There are various cataloguing codes, MARC formats, and DBMS softwares like AACR2R, MARC21 and WINISIS respectively, used together for effective functioning of information systems. While trying to bring various MARCs under MARC21 umbrella for standardization / internationalisation, some problems were overlooked. MARC21 design, inherits rules of AACR2 card cataloguing & ISBD punctuations which often resulted in data redundancy. The very machine philosophy and principles of DBMS is rather undermined. This book is an attempt to identify such problems and resolve the same by offering an alternate approach. It deals with issues of compatibility of AACR2R, MARC21 and WINISIS. This book, it is hoped, will help in efficiently designing and developing bibliographic databases in WINISIS using AACR2R, following the bibliographic tag codes of MARC21
PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION ON VCR ENGINE BY USING BLENDED COCONUT OIL
Energy is a key factor for the development of any country. With the increased civilization and industrialization the need for energy is increasing day by day. Majority of the world’s energy demand is met through fossil fuels and natural gas. As a result fossil fuels are diminishing from year to year. Since fossil fuels are no renewable, fuel price is increasing with spiraling Demand and diminishing supply. To avoid dependency on foreign countries the use of renewable energy has become important. The coconut is considered as natural asset in India Thailand and some other countries on the globe. So our Endeavour is to use coconut oil as alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Decrease in indicated thermal efficiency with similar values of brake thermal efficiency and volumetric efficiency is observed compared to diesel. In view of emission parameters a significant improvement is achieved. The use of coconut biodiesel as fuel for diesel engine will reduce dependency on fossil fuels and decrease environmental pollution
Memory of Chirality (MOC) Concept in Imino-Aldol Reaction: Enantioselective Synthesis of <i>α,β</i>-Diamino Esters and Aziridines
A simple strategy for the synthesis of chiral α,β-diamino-
and α-amino,β-hydroxy ester derivatives in high yields
with moderate to high <i>ee</i> has been developed via asymmetric
imino-aldol and aldol reactions, respectively, starting from protected
aminoesters employing memory of chirality concept for chiral induction.
This strategy has been extended for the enantioselective synthesis
of aziridines (<i>ee</i> up to 92%). The absolute configuration
of the imino-aldol adducts has been determined. The stereochemical
outcome of the products has been explained by a suitable mechanism
and supported by computational studies

Semisynthesis and biological evaluation of amidochelocardin derivatives as broad-spectrum antibiotics.
To address the global challenge of emerging antimicrobial resistance, the hitherto most successful strategy to new antibiotics has been the optimization of validated natural products; most of these efforts rely on semisynthesis. Herein, we report the semisynthetic modification of amidochelocardin, an atypical tetracycline obtained via genetic engineering of the chelocardin producer strain. We report modifications at C4, C7, C10 and C11 by the application of methylation, acylation, electrophilic substitution, and oxidative C-C coupling reactions. The antibacterial activity of the reaction products was tested against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. The emerging structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that positions C7 and C10 are favorable anchor points for the semisynthesis of optimized derivatives. The observed SAR was different from that known for tetracyclines, which underlines the pronounced differences between the two compound classes
