    Abstract The present study elucidates identification and characterization of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) degrading novel bacterial strain, Micrococcus sp. KS2, isolated from soil contaminated with municipal wastewater. Statistical designs were exercised to achieve optimum values of process parameters for DMP degradation by Micrococcus sp. KS2. The screening of the ten important parameters was performed by applying Plackett-Burman design, and it delivered three significant factors (pH, temperature, and DMP concentration). Further, response surface methodology involving central composite design (CCD) was implemented to examine mutual interactions among variables and achieve their optimal response. The predicted response indicated that maximum DMP degradation (99.67%) could be attained at pH 7.05, temperature 31.5 °C and DMP 289.19 mg/l. The strain KS2 was capable of degrading up to 1250 mg/l of DMP in batch mode and it was observed that oxygen was limiting factor in the DMP degradation. Kinetic modeling of DMP biodegradation indicated that Haldane model fitted well with the experimental data. During DMP degradation, monomethyl phthalate (MMP) and phthalic acid (PA) were identified as degradation metabolites. This study provides insight into DMP biodegradation process and proposes that Micrococcus sp. KS2 is a potential bacterial candidate to treat effluent containing DMP.

    Abstract In the present study, biodegradation of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was carried out with a mixed culture of aerobic bacterial strains isolated from soil contaminated with municipal wastewater. They were identified as Bacillus sp. and Micrococcus sp. based on morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics. For the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing DEP, an internal loop airlift bioreactor was designed and fabricated. Experiments were carried out for various initial concentrations (100-1500 mg/l) in a batch mode using a mixed culture of isolates. Mass balance and stoichiometric investigation suggested efficient degradation of DEP with a yield of 0.81 g/g if two-thirds of carbon from substrate converted to biomass. Gas chromatography-Mass spectroscopy analysis detected monoethyl phthalate (MEP) and phthalic acid (PA) sequentially to confirm hydrolysis of DEP. Enzymatic assay of the esterase production (929.5 U/l for 1000 mg/l of DEP) was responsible for hydrolysis of DEP to MEP. Growth kinetic study delivered the best fit of experimental data with the Haldane model with the correlation coefficient (r2) 0.95. Biokinetic constants indicated that the high concentrations of DEP inhibited the growth rate of bacteria while dissolved oxygen estimation suggested that the DEP biodegradation was oxygen limited.

    Abstract Summary: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is challenging to treat with its significant psychological and cognitive behavioural element involved. Mindfulness meditation helps alter the behavioural response in chronic pain situations. Significant body of research in the filed of mindfulness meditation comes from the work of Dr Kabat-Zinn. The current evidence in the field, though not grade one, shows that there is a place for mindfulness meditation in managing chronic pain conditions including CLBP. Further research to test the usefulness of mindfulness in CLBP should involve good quality randomized controlled trials of pure mindfulness based technique in matched subjects.

    Abstract Spillage of fossil-based oils during their conveyance through water conduits are sporadic, but significant environmental disasters. As the viscous hydrocarbons of the crude oils spread on water surface and choke aquatic life to death, their effective degradation is crucial for ecological balance. Though chemical and mechanical means are conventional ways to tackle the issues, they are riddled with limitations. In this scenario, coercing the biosurfactant-producing bacteria and fungi are promising avenues. Biosurfactants, the amphiphilic compounds, are capable of reducing interfacial tension, dispersing the oil particles, and degrading them into non-toxic debris. Among the vast array of biosurfactants, the trio of rhamnolipid, sophorolipid, and surfactin have been characterized well. Among the microbes, only Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Candida have been evaluated, while there can be other exploitable candidates. In this regard, this review discusses the scopes and hurdles in utilization of the microbial surface-active compounds for oil spill management.

    Abstract Bioavailability of the well-known Ayurvedic drug Swarnabhasma (gold bhasma or calcined gold) is unknown. It is orally administered either sublingually or directly with various Anupanas like black pepper powder (Piper nigrum Linn.) and cow ghee in the dose range of 15-240 mg by Ayurvedic physicians. Study of bioavailability of Swarnabhasma is necessary as this metal-derived drug is administered for long duration for rejuvenation. The pilot study was carried out in healthy human male participants to assess bioavailability of Swarnabhasma in three doses, viz. 30 mg plain sublingual, 30 mg oral dose mixed with black pepper powder (250 mg) and cow ghee (2.5 gm); and 240 mg oral dose mixed with black pepper powder (250 mg) and cow ghee (2.5 gm). Blood samples were withdrawn at 0, 1, 2 and 4 h after administration of dose. Estimation of gold levels in blood was carried out by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results show that gold is absorbed in traces from single dose of Swarnabhasma. Maximum concentration of gold was bioavailable from 30 mg sublingual dose with C

    Abstract The inherent dynamics of the master manipulator of a teleoperated robot-assisted surgery (RAS) system can affect the movements of a human operator, in comparison with free-space movements. To measure the effects of these dynamics on operators with differing levels of surgical expertise, a da Vinci Si system was instrumented with a custom surgeon grip fixture and magnetic pose trackers. We compared users' performance of canonical motor control movements during teleoperation with the manipulator and freehand cursor control, and found significant differences in several aspects of motion, including target acquisition error, movement speed, and acceleration. In addition, there was preliminary evidence for differences between experts and novices. These findings could impact robot design, control, and training methods for RAS.

    Abstract A fast and effective microextraction technique is proposed for preconcentration of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA) from wine samples prior gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometric (GC-MS/MS) analysis. The proposed technique is based on ultrasonication (US) for favoring the emulsification phenomenon during the extraction stage. Several variables influencing the relative response of the target analyte were studied and optimized. Under optimal experimental conditions, 2,4,6-TCA was quantitatively extracted achieving enhancement factors (EF) > or = 400 and limits of detection (LODs) 0.6-0.7 ng L(-1) with relative standard deviations (RSDs) < or = 11.3%, when 10 ng L(-1) 2,4,6-TCA standard-wine sample blend was analyzed. The calibration graphs for white and red wine were linear within the range of 5-1000 ng L(-1), and estimation coefficients (r(2)) were > or = 0.9995. Validation of the methodology was carried out by standard addition method at two concentrations (10 and 50 ng L(-1)) achieving recoveries >80% indicating satisfactory robustness of the method. The methodology was successfully applied for determination of 2,4,6-TCA in different wine samples.
