In this research, nanocomposites comprising M-type strontium hexaferrites (SrM) SrFe12-xCsxO19 (x=0.0, 0.05, 0.10), calcium copper titanate (CCTO) CaCu3Ti4-yAlyO12 (y=0.0, 0.1, 0.2) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have been prepared. XRD patterns shows the presence of single phase nanocrystalline SrM and CCTO which is further supported by Raman spectroscopy and FTIR analysis. The presence of secondary phase such as -Fe2O3, CaTiO3, and CuO has not been observed. Characteristics absorption bands of Cs-substituted SrM and Al-substituted CCTO were observed at 446, 551 and 605cm(-1), these peaks gives the idea of the formation of SrM and CCTO phase. The D and G bands of GO were observed at 1358 and 1604cm(-1) respectively, while that of the rGO were respectively observed at 1351 and 1595cm(-1). FESEM micrographshow the incorporated SrM nanoparticles, CCTO nanoparticles and rGO sheets, reduction in surface energy and magnetic dipolar interaction prompt the SrM nanoparticles to surround the CCTO nanoparticles and decorate the surface of the rGO sheets. The non-magnetic CCTO phase in the nanocomposites causes the tuning ofthe magnetic properties. The band gap obtained from UV-vis NIR spectroscopy is within the range of UV-blue LED application. The sample SCR3 shows a maximum reflection loss of -16.0dB at 18.0GHz and matching thickness of 2mm. The obtained reflection lossis attributedto multiple absorption mechanism as a result of improved impedance matching between the dielectric and magnetic loss absorbents.

Ni(II) supramolecular gel-derived Ni(0) nanoclusters decorated with optimal N, O-doped graphitized carbon as bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions

Ekata Saha, Gopala Ram Bhadu, Joyee Mitra

Summary: Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts for both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER) is crucial for clean fuel hydrogen production and renewable energy systems. This study successfully synthesized a series of Ni nanoclusters uniformly dispersed in heteroatom-doped graphitized carbon, demonstrating excellent catalytic activity and stability for OER and HER. Modulation of heteroatom dopants on the carbon matrix improved electron density redistribution and provided additional active sites, enhancing the electrocatalytic performance. This work presents a simplified approach for designing bifunctional electrocatalysts from supramolecular metallogels, opening new possibilities for energy applications.

Summary: In recent years, voice-interaction-based control systems have gained attention for implementing IIoT technologies in industrial control systems. The development of automated semantic understanding is important for remote voice control and intelligent management and control. Sorting technologies are crucial in voice-interaction-enabled industrial central control systems. Deep learning methods have been popular for optimizing conventional retrieval-based question answering. This study proposes three deep semantic sorting models based on deep learning, which outperformed state-of-the-art text matching methods in candidate document sorting.

Frequency Reconfigurable Quad-Element MIMO Antenna with Improved Isolation for 5G Systems

Ghanshyam Singh, Sachin Kumar, Ajay Abrol, Binod Kumar Kanaujia, Vijay Kumar Pandey, Mohamed Marey, Hala Mostafa

Summary: In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable multiband MIMO antenna is developed for 5G communication systems. The antenna element consists of a microstrip line, a divided monopole, and a ground plane. The antenna design includes a split-ring resonator (SRR) for multiple 5G application bands and an RF PIN diode for frequency diversity. The MIMO antenna is designed with improved inter-element isolation by orthogonally locating four antenna elements with connected ground planes. The prototype antenna, developed on an FR-4 substrate, matches the simulated outcomes and has an overall footprint of 70 x 70 x 1.6 mm(3).

Quasispecies Nature of RNA Viruses: Lessons from the Past

Kiran Singh, Deepa Mehta, Shaurya Dumka, Aditya Singh Chauhan, Sachin Kumar

Summary: Viral quasispecies are distinct but closely related mutants formed by recombination, mutations, competition, and selection pressure. Their origin is attributed to the error-prone replication by polymerase and mutants of RNA replicators. The impact of quasispecies for major human pathogens is reviewed, and the rapid changes in geographical landscapes favor the origin and selection of mutants, posing a significant risk to public health.

Monometallic, bimetallic, and trimetallic chalcogenide-based electrodes for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

Kinjal K. Joshi, Pratik M. Pataniya, Gopala Bhadu, C. K. Sumesh

Summary: Cu2CoSnS4, Cu2SnS3, Cu2CoS4, Co2SnS3, Cu2S, CoS2, and SnS2 were synthesized through a simple solid-phase approach. The characterized results indicate the formation of pure phase and porous morphology. Among them, Cu2CoSnS4 shows excellent catalytic activity with a low overpotential and high current density for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Moreover, Cu2CoSnS4 exhibits lower Tafel slope and charge transfer resistance compared to other chalcogenide-based electrodes. It also demonstrates good stability under a specific current density in an acidic environment.

Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) Steel: Alloy Design, Phase Transformation and Evolution of Microstructure

Sachin Kumar, Shiv Brat Singh

Summary: A low-carbon low-alloy steel suitable for Q&P processing was designed by considering the influence of alloying elements on various aspects of transformation and microstructure. The designed steel showed improved strength and elongation due to a more effective exploitation of the TRIP effect. The TRIP behavior depended not only on the amount and carbon content of retained austenite, but also on the morphology of austenite and the characteristics of the surrounding phases.

Preeti Saini, Bharti Nagpal, Puneet Garg, Sachin Kumar

Summary: This study aims to assess the accuracy of a prediction model for sugarcane yield based on remote sensing-derived products and climate data. By using regression analysis on historical sugarcane yield, climatic parameters, and vegetation condition index (VCI) of 75 districts in six major sugar-producing states of India, a highly accurate empirical model was developed. The results show that incorporating maximum and minimum temperature parameters with remote sensing-derived vegetation indices significantly improves the coefficient of determination of the prediction model.
