    Abstract The theoretical applications of hyperbolic metamaterials have generated excitement in multiple fields, particularly in super-resolution optics. In practice, however, the potential of HMMs has been limited by the shortcomings of their constituent parts. Primarily, these are high losses and instabilities in the metal component, which is typically gold or silver, and excessive thickness in both types of layers. In this paper, we use density functional theory to investigate BaMoO3-SrHfO3 metamaterials. We predict that these are hyperbolic throughout the visible range and have the potential to mitigate many of these limitations, including a significant loss reduction. We also examine the accuracy of the effective-medium theory, which is used to predict the bulk optical properties of multilayered HMMs.

    Abstract This study aimed to assess the impact of spirulina and/or canthaxanthin-enriched Artemia on the goldfish (Carassius auratus) growth, pigmentation, blood analysis, immunity, intestine and liver histomorphology, and expression of somatolactin (SL) and growth hormone (GH) genes. Artemia was enriched with spirulina and/or canthaxanthin for 24 h. Goldfish (N = 225, 1.10 ± 0.02 g) were tested in five experimental treatments, three replicates each: (T1) fish fed a commercial diet; (T2) fish fed a commercial diet and un-enriched Artemia (UEA); (T3) fish fed a commercial diet and spirulina-enriched Artemia (SEA); (T4) fish fed a commercial diet and canthaxanthin-enriched Artemia (CEA); and (T5) fish fed a commercial diet and spirulina and canthaxanthin-enriched Artemia (SCA) for 90 days. The results showed that the use of spirulina and/or canthaxanthin increased performance, β-carotene content and polyunsaturated fatty acids of Artemia. For goldfish, T5 showed the highest growth performance, β-carotene concentration and the lowest chromatic deformity. T5 also showed improved hematology profile, serum biochemical, and immunological parameters. Histomorphology of the intestine revealed an increase in villi length and goblet cells number in the anterior and middle intestine, with normal liver structure in T5. SL and GH gene expression in the liver and brain differed significantly among treatments with a significant increase in enriched Artemia treatments compared to T1 and T2. In conclusion, the use of spirulina and/or canthaxanthin improved performance of Artemia. Feeding goldfish spirulina and/or canthaxanthin-enriched Artemia improved performance, β-carotene content, pigmentation, health status and immune-physiological response.

    Abstract Aeromonas hydrophila is a ubiquitous fish pathogen and an opportunistic human pathogen. It is mostly found in aquatic habitats, but it has also been isolated from food and bottled mineral waters. It causes hemorrhagic septicemia, ulcerative disease, and motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS) in fish and other aquatic animals. Moreover, it might cause gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septicemia in humans. Different variables influence A. hydrophila virulence, including the virulence genes expressed, host susceptibility, and environmental stresses. The identification of virulence factors for a bacterial pathogen will help in the development of preventive and control measures. 95 Aeromonas spp. genomes were examined in the current study, and 53 strains were determined to be valid A. hydrophila. These genomes were examined for pan- and core-genomes using a comparative genomics technique. A. hydrophila has an open pan-genome with 18,306 total genes and 1620 genes in its core-genome. In the pan-genome, 312 virulence genes have been detected. The effector delivery system category had the largest number of virulence genes (87), followed by immunological modulation and motility genes (69 and 46, respectively). This provides new insight into the pathogenicity of A. hydrophila. In the pan-genome, a few distinctive single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in four genes, namely: D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose-1,7-bisphosphate 7-phosphatase, chemoreceptor glutamine deamidase, Spermidine N (1)-acetyltransferase, and maleylpyruvate isomerase, which are present in all A. hydrophila genomes, which make them molecular marker candidates for precise identification of A. hydrophila. Therefore, for precise diagnostic and discrimination results, we suggest these genes be considered when designing primers and probes for sequencing, multiplex-PCR, or real-time PCR.

    Abstract The voltammetric behaviour of chloroquine was investigated at carbon paste and dsDNA-modified carbon paste electrodes in different buffer systems over a wide pH range using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. Chloroquine was oxidized in the pH range 2.0-11.0 yielding one irreversible main oxidation peak. A second peak was also observed only in the pH range 5.0-7.0. The modification of the carbon paste surface with dsDNA allowed a preconcentration process to take place for chloroquine such that higher sensitivity was achieved as compared with the bare surface. The response was characterized with respect to solution pH, ionic strength, accumulation time and potential, chloroquine concentration, and other variables. Stripping voltammetric response showed a linear calibration curve in the range 1.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-5)moll(-1) with a detection limit of 3.0 x 10(-8)moll(-1) at the dsDNA-modified electrode. Application of the modified electrode to serum, without sample pretreatment, resulted in good recovery higher than 95% and the higher standard deviation was 3.0%.

SL and GH gene expression in the liver and brain differed significantly among treatments with a significant increase in enriched Artemia treatments compared to T1 and T2. In conclusion, the use of spirulina and/or canthaxanthin improved performance of Artemia. Feeding goldfish spirulina and/or canthaxanthin-enriched Artemia improved performance, β-carotene content, pigmentation, health status and immune-physiological response.

    Abstract This study's objective was to emphasize the renewable lignocellulosic biomasses' energy potential by thermally describing them. The TG/DTG/DTA procedures were used to examine the thermal pyrolysis behavior of coffee wastes (CW), date seeds (DSM), prickly pears (PP), and two blends (50%CW/50%DSM and 33.3%CW/33.3%DSM/33.3%PP by weight), and their physico-chemical compositions were identified and assessed. The activation energy (E) of all tested samples was predicted using iso-conversional models like Friedman (FR), Starink (ST), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (FOW), and the frequency factor (A) was calculated based on the acquired (E) values utilizing the chemical reaction mechanisms (C1–C8). SEM, EDX, and FTIR techniques were used to examine the microstructure, mineralogy, and functional group present in the studied samples. Every DTG profile displayed a rightward shift when the heating rate (β) rose to higher temperatures. The difference in the average activation energy (Eav) values between the ST, OFW, and KAS models, except for the blend (1), does not surpass 5 kJ/mole. Increases in the (β) value, particularly for blends, were significantly correlated with increases in the maximum pyrolysis rate (−RP), pyrolysis index (CPI), pyrolysis stability index (RW), and volatile release index (Ddev). The ΔGav discrepancies between the results from all kinetic models for all samples varied from 1 to 7 kJ/mole. A little potential energy barrier was noticed when comparing the (Eav) to the average enthalpy (ΔHav).

    Abstract The oxidative behaviour of the antidiabetic agent glibenclamide on a bare carbon paste electrode (CPE) and a Sephadex-modified carbon paste electrode (SMCPE) was explored by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The analysis procedure consisted of an open circuit accumulation step in stirred sample solution of Britton-Robinson buffer (0.04 mol L(-1), pH 2.0). This was followed by medium exchange to a clean solution of Britton-Robinson buffer (0.04 mol L(-1), pH 5.0), and subsequently an anodic potential scan was effected to obtain the voltammetric peak. The glibenclamide oxidation peak current obtained by DPV was proportional to the concentration of the glibenclamide in the range of 1.0 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) to 5.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) for 180 s accumulation time, with a detection limit of 4.0 x 10(-10) mol L(-1). A method was developed for the determination of glibenclamide in formulation and spiked human serum. Moreover, the proposed procedure was used to estimate the serum concentrations after oral administration of a 5 mg tablet of glibenclamide to three diabetic subjects.
