    Abstract We consider an autonomous heat engine in simultaneous contact with a hot and a cold reservoir and describe it within a linear irreversible framework. In a tight-coupling approximation, the rate of entropy generation is effectively written in terms of a single thermal flux that is a homogeneous function of the hot and cold fluxes. The specific algebraic forms of the effective flux are deduced for scenarios containing internal and external irreversibilities for the typical example of a thermoelectric generator.

    Abstract Different hydrogels were synthesised using lignin and xylan (extracted from rice straw) as the raw material, PVA as matrix template, citric acid, and succinic acid as crosslinkers and were structurally characterised by FT-IR and SEM analysis. Citric acid cross-linked hydrogels caused loose bonding between polymers and resulted in formation of large pores whereas succinic acid cross-linked hydrogels were observed to have less porosity and tight bonding network. The swelling ratio and reswelling capacity of hydrogels revealed that lignin hydrogels outperformed all other hydrogels. All the synthesised hydrogels were tested for their use as soil culture media ingredient for the germination of rice seedlings. All the hydrogels performed well in stress conditions as compared to normal conditions. Xylan/lignin hydrogel and lignin hydrogels performed best under stress conditions. These hydrogels could be used effectively as an ingredient of soil culture media owing to their tendency to absorb and retain water properly.

    Abstract Waterlogging is the most serious global problem in agriculture affecting the soils in the United States, Russia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China. The higher irrigation requirements for high yielding varieties of crops has led to the introduction of canal irrigation system which has given birth to waterlogging and soil salinity affecting the cropping pattern, crop productivity and fertility of soil. The problem of waterlogging and soil salinity affected farmers’ income, employment opportunities and land use requiring immediate solutions in terms of choosing tolerant varieties, conjunctive use of canal water with poor quality ground water, biodrainage, traditional drainage system along with application of soil ammendments like FYM, gypsum etc. that can help in mitigating waterlogging.

    Abstract Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered to produce the highest level of evidence in the original studies that informs the practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM). By manipulating an independent variable to study its impact on the outcome, RCTs establish causal relationships and provide valuable insights into clinical treatment. To improve patient outcomes and optimize the use of clinical resources, the practice of EBM plays a crucial role in designing and conducting RCTs to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical interventions. This review aims to explore the essential steps involved in conducting a rigorous and reliable RCT, ensuring the generation of high-quality evidence.

    Abstract Endophytic fungi have recently garnered significant attention as next-generation bioinoculants due to their plausible role in ameliorating abiotic and biotic stresses. This adaptation is achieved via various signalling molecules and mechanisms established by these symbionts with their hosts. The present study screened 61 endophytic isolates of culturable mycobiome associated with wheat variety PBW725 during their crop cycle. Three endophytic isolates exhibited a minimum reduction in their growth and maximum biomass production during the drought stress developed using polyethylene glycol 6000. Further, these isolates also exhibited plant growth promoting properties by virtue of the production of indole acetic acid, gibberellic acid and ammonia. These isolates also exhibited the propensity to solubilise phosphate and zinc, produce siderophores and further exhibit extracellular enzymatic activities, contributing to plants' adaptability to abiotic stresses. The best isolate amongst the three was #5TAKL-3a, identified as Penicillium citrinum based on multilocus phylogenetic analysis. The isolate as a bioinoculant enhances various biochemical and physiological properties in planta. Hence our studies indicate that Penicillium citrinum #5TAKL-3a is a potential candidate bioinoculant for field trials to improve the adaptability of the wheat plant under drought stress.

    Abstract The present work is aimed to hypothesize that fungal endophytes associated with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants can play a variety of roles in biotechnology including plant growth. Out of 67 fungal isolates, five maximum drought-tolerant isolates were used to check their various plant growth-promoting traits, antioxidants, and antifungal activities under secondary screening. Fungal isolate #8TAKS-3a exhibited the maximum drought tolerance capacity and potential to produce auxin, gibberellic acid, ACC deaminase, phosphate, zinc solubilization, ammonia, siderophore, and extracellular enzyme activities followed by #6TAKR-1a isolate. In terms of antioxidant activities, #8TAKS-3a culture also showed maximum DPPH scavenging, total antioxidant, and NO-scavenging activities. However, #6TAKR-1a exhibited maximum total flavonoid content, total phenolic content, and Fe-reducing power and also the highest growth inhibition of Aspergillus niger (ITCC 6152) and Colletotrichum sp. (ITCC 6152). Based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS), β-tubulin (TUB 2), and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) genes, potent fungal isolate #8TAKS-3a was identified as Talaromyces purpureogenus. Under the in vitro conditions, T. purpureogenus (#8TAKS-3a) was used as a bioinoculant that displayed a significant increase in various physio-biochemical growth parameters under normal and stressed conditions (p < 0.05). Our results indicate that drought stress-tolerant T. purpureogenus can be further used for field testing as a growth promoter.
