    Abstract It has been hypothesised that antiallergic medications (AAMs) like montelukast and levocetirizine both the two bitter chloro compounds could be repurposed either alone or combinedly as an antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, like chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine (CQ/HCQ), another two bitter chloro compounds. Both AAMs and CQ/HCQ are bitter tasted chloro compounds. Depending on their these two similar physical properties and the safety and efficacy of AAMs by controlling over post viral episodes as comparing with viral inhibitory activities including SARS-CoV-2 by CQ/HCQ, a reposition of AAMs either alone/combinedly could be rationalised as an antiviral approach to nCoV.

  3. Article: Women's Empowerment in the Context of Rural West Bengal: An Index Construction with Exploratory Factor Analysis.

    Abstract Background: Women's empowerment, a precondition of sustainable development, is a multidimensional and complex concept, often described with three interrelated components: resources, agency, and achievement. There is no universal construct for women's empowerment; rather, it has been assessed based on the context. It had been hardly explored in rural West Bengal.
    Objectives: This study was formulated to construct a women's empowerment index (WEI), in rural West Bengal, and assess the reliability of the index.
    Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study focusing on Women's Empowerment, Child Health and Nutrition (WE-CHANT) was conducted in a community development block in West Bengal. Mother (of reproductive age)-child (6-59 months) pairs were recruited from 20 villages by two-stage sampling (n = 268). Mothers were interviewed. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with oblique rotation was conducted with 25 measurement variables to construct the WEI. The internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha, item-rest, average inter-item, inter-domain, and domain-to-index correlation.
    Results: A 12-item (factor loading ≥0.40) WEI comprising three domains-decision-making power, attitude toward gender-based violence (GBV), and social independence-was constructed with acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.747). The multidimensionality of the index was also observed.
    Conclusion: A concise agency-based WEI was constructed, where decision-making power was explored as the major domain. This index in the context of rural West Bengal could be further utilized to assess women's empowerment and elicit its association with resources and achievements.

    Abstract Nonlinear effects on the electrophoresis of a soft particle, consisting of a rigid hydrophobic core coated with a diffuse polymer layer (PEL) suspended in an electrolyte medium, are studied. The impact of the ion partitioning effect arising due to the Born energy difference between the PEL and the electrolyte is approximated based on the equilibrium Boltzmann equation, with which the ion distribution and hence, the charge density is modified. The equations describing the electrokinetic transport comprising the Darcy-Brinkman extended Navier-Stokes equations which includes the ion partitioning effect coupled with the modified Nernst-Planck equations and Poisson equations for electric field are solved numerically. The present numerical model for the soft particle compares well with the existing theoretical solutions and experimental results in the limiting cases. A deviation from existing simplified models based on the Boltzmann distribution of ions occurs when the Debye layer polarization, relaxation and the electroosmosis induced by the PEL immobile charge become significant. The hydrophobicity of the inner core strongly influences the nonlinear electrokinetic effects by modifying the Debye layer, electroosmotic flow in the PEL and surface conduction. The results indicate that the ion partitioning can significantly increase the electrophoretic mobility of the soft particle by attenuating the shielding effect. When the Debye layer is in the order of the particle size the hydrophobicity of the core surface and the ion partitioning effect manifest the surface conduction, which implies that the Boltzmann distribution of ions is no longer valid. The core hydrophobicity and ion partitioning effect have influence on the condensation of the PEL immobile charge, which creates a significant impact on the mobility.

    Abstract A simple wavelength tunable diode laser system has been designed and fabricated for laboratory use. Both the current and temperature controllers are based on an AVR microcontroller, and the experimental controls have been implemented with the help of daemon programs running in a message passing interface environment, which allows the users to run the control server and client programs on separate computers. The stability of the controllers has been tested using a distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser with a central wavelength of 852.3 nm. A noise spectral analysis of the current controller with and without the use of the diode laser as the active load has been demonstrated. The absorption spectra of 6

    Abstract The menace posed by antibiotic contamination to humanity has increased due to the absence of efficient antibiotic removal processes in the conventional waste water treatment methods from the hospitals, households, animal husbandry, and pharma industry. Importantly, only a few commercially available adsorbents are magnetic, porous, and have the ability to selectively bind and separate various classes of antibiotics from the slurries. Herein, we report the synthesis of a coral-like Co@Co

    Abstract The hindrance created by the induced electric filed on the sedimentation of a charged colloid in an aqueous media is studied through numerical modeling. The colloid is considered to be hydrophobic, sedimenting under gravity or a centrifugal force (generalized gravity). The deformation of the charge cloud around the colloid induces an electric field, which generates electrical dipole force on the colloid. The sedimentation velocity is governed by the balance of an electric force, hydrodynamic drag, and gravitational force. Governing equations based on the first principle of electrokinetics is solved numerically through a control volume approach. The dependence of the sedimentation velocity on the electrical properties and slip length of the colloid is investigated. The sedimentation velocity of the charged colloid is slower than the corresponding uncharged particle and this deviation magnifies as the charge density as well as particle slip length is increased. An enhanced g-factor creates a size dependency of the charged colloids. The induced sedimentation field is obtained to analyze the electrokinetics. Surface hydrophobicity enhances the sedimentation velocity, which in turn manifests the induced sedimentation field. However, the sedimentation velocity of a charged hydrophobic colloid is lower than the corresponding uncharged hydrophobic particle and this deviation manifests as slip length is increased.
