    Abstract Although examination of the stool for ova and parasites times three (O&P ×3) is routinely performed in the United States (US) for the evaluation of persistent and/or chronic diarrhea, the result is almost always negative. This has contributed to the perception that parasitic diseases are nearly non-existent in the country unless there is a history of travel to an endemic area. The increasing number of immigrants from third-world countries, tourists, and students who present with symptoms of parasitic diseases are often misdiagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. The consequences of such misdiagnosis need no explanation. However, certain parasitic diseases are endemic to the US and other developed nations and affect both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Testing for parasitic diseases either with O&P or with other diagnostic tests, followed by the recommended treatment, is quite rewarding when appropriate. Most parasitic diseases are easily treatable and should not be confused with other chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. In this review, we critically evaluate the symptomatology of luminal parasitic diseases, their differential diagnoses, appropriate diagnostic tests, and management.

    Abstract Organophosphorous compounds have recently emerged as a powerful class of compounds with widespread applications, such as in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic materials, and as ligands in catalysis. The preparation of these compounds requires synthetic techniques with novel catalytic systems varying from transition metal, photo- and electrochemical catalysis to transformations without metal catalysts. Over the past few decades, the addition of P-H bonds to alkenes, alkynes, arenes, heteroarenes and other unsaturated substrates in hydrophosphination and other related reactions

    Abstract Photocatalytic regiospecific p-silylation of arenes has been achieved by the coupling of in situ generated silyl radical with arene radical cation. The strategy involves reductive activation of PhSe–SiR₃ and single electron transfer from the electron rich arene to 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene radical cation (DMA•⁺). p-Silyl arenes, thus formed, are further utilized for exclusive o-silylation reaction and for regiospecific o-acylation as well as o-alkylation reaction.

  4. Article: Reactive power compensation using derated power generation mode of modified P&O algorithm in grid-interfaced PV system

    Abstract: ... the reactive power at any time instant, a GIPV system with modified perturb & observe (MP&O) maximum power ...

    Abstract A local load connected with the grid-interfaced photovoltaic (GIPV) system demands reactive power compensation at the distribution level. The compensation either fulfilled by the PV inverter or grid side arrangements such as capacitor bank, static VAR compensator or tap-changing transformers. Amongst both, the inverter has merit to compensate reactive power without using an additional compensator or oversizing the inverter rating. However, it always depends upon the availability of irradiance and especially when the inverter transfers power with full capacity has no margin to generate the reactive power. Therefore, to make the system flexible according to the demand of the local loads and to create a margin to generate the reactive power at any time instant, a GIPV system with modified perturb & observe (MP&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique has been proposed. This proposed technique with an intermediate boost converter extracts maximum power more efficiently as compared to the traditional MPPT technique. On the other hand, it curtails the generated active power and provides margin for the PV inverter to generate the reactive power. Further, the PV inverter generates active and reactive power to the local loads as well as transfer power to the grid using inverter control. The inverter control comprises of decoupled instantaneous active and reactive power control. In this control scheme, it maintains the DC-link voltage and power flow between the GIPV system and the grid under all available irradiance conditions. In this respect, a 30 kW GIPV system is simulated and performance of the system is validated using real-time OP4510 hardware-in-loop (HIL) setup.

    Abstract In the present study, nanocomposites having hierarchical nanoflowers (HNFs) -like morphology were synthesized by ultra-sonication approach. HNFs were ternary composite of MgFe 2 O 4 and bentonite with boron-, phosphorous- co-doped graphene oxide (BPGO). The HNFs were fully characterized using different analytical tools viz . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry and Mössbauer analysis. Transmission electron micrographs showed that chiffon-like BPGO nanosheets were wrapped on the MgFe 2 O 4 -bentonite surface, resulting in a porous flower-like morphology. The red-shift in XPS binding energies of HNFs as compared to MgFe 2 O 4 -bentoniteand BPGO revealed the presence of strong interactions between the two materials. Box–Behnken statistical methodology was employed to optimize adsorptive and photocatalytic parameters using Pb(II) and malathion as model pollutants, respectively. HNFs exhibited excellent adsorption ability for Pb(II) ions, with the Langmuir adsorption capacity of 654 mg g −1 at optimized pH 6.0 and 96% photocatalytic degradation of malathion at pH 9.0 as compared to MgFe 2 O 4 -bentonite and BPGO. Results obtained in this study clearly indicate that HNFs are promising nanocomposite for the removal of inorganic and organic contaminants from the aqueous solutions.

    Abstract Activation of Notch signaling is associated with tumor aggressiveness, poor clinical outcome and drug resistance in breast cancer patients. Targeting Notch signaling with small molecule inhibitors may be a better strategy for anticancer drug development. We identified 3-O-(E)-p-Coumaroylbetulinic acid (CB) as a lead compound and potent inhibitor of Notch signaling pathway. Treatment of human breast cancer MBA-MD-231 and T47D cells with CB resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of cell viability and G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest. This effect was associated with a marked decrease in the expression of cyclin D1 and its activating partner, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 with concomitant increase in cyclin kinase inhibitor p21, operative in G1-phase of the cell cycle. CB treatment induced early apoptosis in breast cancer cells as evident by increase in cleaved caspase-3, decrease in Bcl2 and survivin, surge in reactive oxygen species and disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential. CB treatment altered Notch target genes viz. Hes1, Hey1 and E-cadherin at mRNA and protein level in time-dependent manner along with decrease in Notch promoter activity at IC

    Abstract We introduce a new model for contagion spread using a network of interacting finite memory two-color P\'{o}lya urns, which we refer to as the finite memory interacting P\'{o}lya contagion network. The urns interact in the sense that the probability of drawing a red ball (which represents an infection state) for a given urn, not only depends on the ratio of red balls in that urn but also on the ratio of red balls in the other urns in the network, hence accounting for the effect of spatial contagion. The resulting network-wide contagion process is a discrete-time finite-memory Markov process, whose transition probability matrix is determined. The stochastic properties of the network contagion Markov process are analytically examined, and in the particular case of memory one with homogeneous urns, we characterize the limiting state of infection in each urn. Given the complexity of this stochastic process, and in the same spirit as the well-studied SIS models, we use a mean-field type approximation to obtain a discrete-time dynamical system for the finite memory interacting P\'{o}lya contagion network. Interestingly, this dynamical system is linear in the memory one case, and is nonlinear for the general memory case. Furthermore, noting that the latter case dynamical system admits a linear variant (realized by retaining its leading linear terms), we study the asymptotic behavior of the linear systems for both memory modes and characterize their equilibrium. Finally, we present simulations to assess the quality of the approximation purveyed by the linear and non-linear dynamical systems, which illustrate the key role that memory plays in improving its accuracy.
