Zinc bismuth borate glasses with composition 10ZnO-xBi(2)O(3)-(90 - x)B2O3 (where x is in mol%, ranging from 25 to 50 in steps of 5) have been prepared using conventional melt quenching technique. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Studies showed that the glass transition temperature (T-g) decreases from 473 degrees C to 449 degrees C as the content of Bi2O3 increases. The optical absorption studies revealed that the cutoff wavelength increases while optical band gap energy (E-opt) and Urbach energy (Delta E) decreases with increase of Bi2O3 content. The E-opt values of these glasses are found to be in the range 3.464-3.169 eV where as the values of Delta E lies in the range 0.503-0.178 eV. The DSC and optical absorption studies revealed that the glass network becomes less tightly packed and degree of disorder increases with increase in Bi2O3 concentration in the present glass system. The IR Studies indicate that these glasses are made up of [BiO6], [BO3] and [BO4] basic structural units. The values of optical basicity evaluated using oxide ion polarizability alpha(b2) (E-opt) obtained from optical band gap are in agreement with those values calculated from optical basicity Values of the constituent oxides.

Symmetrically Direct Coupled Stacked Broadband Microstrip Antenna

K. K Bindu, S. Rajbala, Girish Kumar, Anil K. Singh

Summary: This paper proposes a technique using directly coupled stacked patches to increase impedance bandwidth and reduce cross-polarization. By employing metallic shorting posts between the metallic patches, the stacked configurations achieve a bandwidth of 25.8% and a gain of 8.8 dBi with low cross-polarization levels. A symmetrically direct-coupled stacked design further suppresses cross-polar components, resulting in a bandwidth of 26.1% and a gain of 9.3 dBi.

Ajay Mittal, Avtar Singh, Hui Hong, Soottawat Benjakul

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the optimum condition for preparing chitooligosaccharide-catechin conjugate (COS-CAT) liposomes using different stabilising agents. COS-CAT liposomes were prepared using soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and either glycerol or cholesterol, and their encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, physicochemical characteristics, FTIR spectra, thermal stability, and structure were assessed. The results showed that COS-CAT loaded liposome stabilised by cholesterol (COS-CAT-CHO) exhibited higher stability, with the highest encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity, and the lowest zeta potential, polydispersity index, and releasing efficiency.

Lipases from different yeast strains: Production and application for n-3 fatty acid enrichment of tuna eyeball oil

Khurshid Ahmed Baloch, Avtar Singh, Khamtorn Pudtikajorn, Soottawat Benjakul

Summary: Enrichment of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in skipjack tuna eyeballs oil (STEO) was investigated using lipases from different yeast strains. Among all lipases tested, Candida rugosa extracellular lipase (Cr-ECL) showed promising enrichment of EPA and DHA in STEO. RSM was used to optimize reaction conditions and resulted in a significant increase in DHA and EPA concentration in STEO. The established hydrolysis protocol successfully converted fish oil from tuna waste to valuable fish oil enriched with n-3 fatty acids.

Summary: The effects of adding hyperoside (HyS) at various levels (0%-4%; w/w) on the textural, rheological, structural, and sensory properties of threadfin bream surimi were investigated. The addition of 1% and 2% HyS resulted in surimi gel with the highest breaking force and deformation. HyS also improved the water-holding capacity and increased hardness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of the gel. The addition of HyS enhanced the connections between surimi proteins and improved the gel network.

Gelation characteristics of partially purified myofibrillar proteins extracted from commercially harvested Indian mackerel and threadfin bream

Avtar Singh, Umesh Patil, Ajay Mittal, Prabjeet Singh, Anuj Tyagi, Soottawat Benjakul

Summary: The gelling behaviors of partially purified myofibrillar proteins (PPMP) extracted from Indian mackerel (IM) and threadfin bream (TB) were compared at different heating temperatures. The results demonstrated that IM-MP exhibited lower turbidity, surface hydrophobicity, and disulfide bond content compared to TB-MP. The amino acid profile showed no significant difference between the two species, except for lysine and glutamine. Structural analysis confirmed these differences, and the transmission analysis revealed lower aggregation and crosslinking ability of IM-MP. Therefore, the gelling behavior of IM-MP was poorer compared to TB-MP.

Inhibition Mechanism of Chitooligosaccharide-Polyphenol Conjugates toward Polyphenoloxidase from Shrimp Cephalothorax

Ajay Mittal, Avtar Singh, Bin Zhang, Qiancheng Zhao, Soottawat Benjakul

Summary: The inhibitory effects of chitooligosaccharide (CHOS) conjugates, including CHOS-catechin (CHOS-CAT), CHOS-epigallocatechin gallate (CHOS-EGCG), and CHOS-gallic acid (CHOS-GAL), on Pacific white shrimp cephalothorax polyphenoloxidase (PPO) were studied. CHOS-CAT showed the strongest inhibitory activity against PPO and exhibited mixed-type inhibition. Molecular docking analysis revealed that CHOS-CAT interacts with various amino acid residues near the active site of PPO. Therefore, CHOS-CAT could serve as an anti-melanosis agent to prevent discoloration in crustaceans.

Influence of Epigallocatechin Gallate on Quality of Cooked Harpiosquillid Mantis Shrimp (Harpiosquilla raphidea) Subjected to Multiple Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Wattana Temdee, Avtar Singh, Hui Hong, Bin Zhang, Ahmet Faruk Yesilsu, Soottawat Benjakul

Summary: The effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at 200 or 400 ppm on the quality changes of cooked Harpiosquillid mantis shrimp (Harpiosquilla raphidea) (CHMS) meat subjected to varying freeze-thaw cycles (F-T-C; 0, 1, 3, and 5) were studied. With increasing F-T-C, the CHMS meat deteriorated to a higher extent, indicated by increased exudate loss, tougher texture, and higher microbial counts. The addition of EGCG could dose-dependently retard these changes, as well as prevent microbial growth and lipid oxidation. The alterations in disulfide bond content and surface hydrophobicity of CHMS added with EGCG were more pronounced with higher EGCG concentration.

Deniz Bozoglu, Sahin Yakut, Kemal Ulutas, Deniz Deger

Summary: Thin film polyethylene oxide, produced by the thermal evaporation technique, exhibits structural and property differences compared to bulk polyethylene oxide. The dielectric constant of polyethylene oxide thin film is 10 times greater than that of bulk polyethylene oxide. There is consistency among dielectric constants, activation energies, and free volume fractions for both thin film and bulk samples. Polyethylene oxide thin film is observed to be more brittle than bulk polyethylene oxide.

Large-scale DFT calculations of multi-component glass systems (SiO2)0.70(Al2O3)0.13(XO)0.17 (X = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) : Accuracy of classical force fields

Atsushi Tanaka, Atsuki Saito, Takashi Murata, Ayako Nakata, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.

In situ XRD and Raman study of the phase transition in V2O5 xerogels

Petr Shvets, Ksenia Maksimova, Aleksandr Goikhman

Summary: In this study, vanadium oxide xerogel samples were successfully synthesized through a liquid phase reaction and the interaction of films with water. The samples were thoroughly analyzed using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the existence of two distinct phases. It was also discovered that previous misinterpretations regarding the high-pressure polymorph structure were due to the formation of a high-temperature phase. These findings highlight the potential for further refining and expanding the current structural models of vanadium oxide xerogel in future research efforts.
