The present study assessed the spatial distribution of trace elements in the groundwater near the Subarnarekha River Basin - Jamshedpur, India. Half of this city's water need (48.11%) relies on groundwater resources. GIS-based maps were constructed using ArcGIS 10.3 software to describe the spatial distribution of Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni), Selenium (Se), and Strontium (Sr). The concentration of trace ele [...]

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased stress and disrupted routines affecting the psycho-social health of older adults, a vulnerable section of the population. Yogic practices have shown the potential to reduce stress, inflammation, and psychological health among other benefits. Hence, we explored the benefits of regular yoga practice on specific key mental health attributes in older adults amidst the pandemic. Using a case-control design, older adults (n = 54) who had been regularly practising yoga for the past six [...]

Interpersonal mindfulness, involving present-moment awareness and acceptance during social interactions, is crucial for emotional regulation and adaptive interpersonal functioning. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale (IMS), a 27-item instrument with four subscales: presence, awareness of self and others, nonjudgmental acceptance, and nonreactivity. The cross-sectional sample included 15- to 17-year-old Iranian adolescents (2023–2024), r [...]

In the realm of marine meteorology, physical oceanography, and coastal and ocean engineering, the wind-stress across the air-sea interface plays a dominant role. However, under tropical cyclone conditions, there is no consensus for the formulation of the drag coefficient, Cd, in the literature. Based on the wind-gust method and the measurements from data buoy 42001 during Hurricane Lili, it is demonstrated that, U* = 0.073U10 - 0.44, which is valid up to wind speed 47 m s-1 and wind gust to 66 m s-1, here U* is the [...]

As proof has recommended a close connection between COVID-19 and neurodegenerative disorders, this article aims to investigate the chloroquine (CLQ) drug as the SARS-CoV-2’s primary protease, which can prevent in vitro viral duplication of all diverse experiments to present. CLQ is an anti-viral drug enlarged by Pfizer, which can operate as an orally effective 3C-like protease inhibitor. In this study, CLQ has been assessed for its effectiveness against coronavirus by trapping it within a boron nitride nanoca [...]

Low phenotypic and genotypic variability for yield-attributing traits and susceptibility to salinity stress are constraints of mungbean productivity. The objectives of the study are to phenotype a set of exotic mungbean genotypes for yield-attributing traits and salinity tolerance, as well as to conduct genetic analysis of these traits for efficient selection. Three consecutive experiments were conducted to fulfill these objectives. In the first experiment, 26 mungbean genotypes were evaluated for yield traits unde [...]

There are few reports that describe incidence of hypothermia in patients treated with olanzapine. We report a case of an elderly 83-year-old black male, readmitted to the state psychiatric hospital December 2023 due to psychiatric exacerbation after 6 months of successful discharge to community, who experienced a fall and profound hypothermia with bradycardia that resulted in a 10-day acute hospitalization in January 2024. Medical workup was unrevealing except for multivessel disease found on CT stroke study of the [...]

As the penetration level of inverter-based generators continues to increase, it becomes crucial to reduce power oscillations between inverters and synchronous generators (SG) to improve system stability. This paper uses a multimachine system as the research platform and proposes a grid separation method employing a multi-terminal back-to-back converter. The converter is designed to be placed at the point of common coupling (PCC) in the original multimachine system and can divide the original grid into multiple micr [...]

Continuous improvement of vine rootstocks and grape varieties is necessary for the sustainability of viticulture. In this context, grapevine breeding and especially the development of polyploid grapevine genotypes offer opportunities. This study investigated the effectiveness of sodium azide (SA, five dozes and two treatment duration) and ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS, four dozes and two treatment duration) in inducing polyploidy. In Ekşi Kara and Gök Üzüm grape cultivars and 41B and Fercal grapevine rootstocks, dif [...]
