    Abstract EN25 steels have been found to be applicable in shafts, gears, etc., but welding of EN25 steel was performed using electron beam welding with different oscillation beam diameters varying from 2 mm to 0.5 mm. The present study reports the effect of beam oscillation on the evolution of nonmetallic inclusions, microstructures, and mechanical properties of EN25 steel. Heat input calculations showed that the application of beam oscillations resulted in significantly lower heat inputs compared to their non-oscillating counterparts. The highest fraction of the retained austenite (9.35%) was observed in a weld prepared with beam oscillation at a 2-mm oscillation diameter, and it decreased to 3.27% at an oscillating diameter of 0.5 mm, and it further reduced to 0.36% for non-oscillating beam cases. Residual stresses were compressive in the fusion zone, irrespective of beam oscillation. Beam oscillation resulted in equiaxed grain in the recenter region of the fusion zone, attributed to heat mixing and the evolution of random texture. The application of beam oscillations resulted in a significant decrease in the size of the nonmetallic inclusions to 0.1-0.5 compared to 5-20 mm in base metal. All tensile samples failed in the base metal, indicating good strength of the weld. Fusion zone hardness (250-670 HNV) and wear properties (COF 0.7 to COF 0.45) improved irrespective of with and without beam oscillation.

    Abstract We have accomplished the oxidation of hydroquinones to quinones in quantitative yields using catalytic quantity of ceric ammonium nitrate doped on various metal-exchanged K-10 clay, as a mild and efficient reagent, by ultrasonic activation. The exchanged cations examined were Fe 3+, Cu 2+, Ce 4+ and K-10 clay itself. The best results were obtained using Fe 3+ -Mont. K-10 clay.

    Abstract Background: Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a key driver of systemic and cardiopulmonary inflammation. Recent studies have established the existence of a pathologically active auto-processed form of HNE with reduced binding affinity against small molecule inhibitors.
    Method: AutoDock Vina v1.2.0 and Cresset Forge v10 software were used to develop a 3D-QSAR model for a series of 47 DHPI inhibitors. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out using AMBER v18 to study the structure and dynamics of sc (single-chain HNE) and tcHNE (two-chain HNE). MMPBSA binding free energies of the previously reported clinical candidate BAY 85-8501 and the highly active BAY-8040 were calculated with sc and tcHNE.
    Results: The DHPI inhibitors occupy the S1 and S2 subsites of scHNE. The robust 3D-QSAR model showed acceptable predictive and descriptive capability with regression coefficient of r
    Conclusion: SAR insights gained from this study will aid the future development of inhibitors active against both forms of HNE.

    Abstract Aim: The present study aims to investigate the antimicrobial as well as antivirulence potential and the principle mechanism of action of guaiacol against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Methods and results: Quorum sensing inhibition and membrane disruption studies were performed to check the effect of guaiacol on the virulence of P. aeruginosa. Production of various virulence factors and biofilm formation was studied at a sub-MIC concentration of guaiacol alone (1/8 MIC) and in combination with ciprofloxacin (1/2 FIC). Guaiacol exhibited synergistic interactions with ciprofloxacin and further reduced the production of all virulence factors and biofilm formation. Using crystal violet (CV) assay and quantification of exopolysaccharide, we observed weak biofilm formation, together with reduced motilities at sub-MIC, which was further visualized by confocal laser microscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. The antibacterial activity of guaiacol against P. aeruginosa upon 2 × MIC exposure coincided with enhanced membrane permeability leading to disruption and release of cellular material as quantified by CV uptake assay and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results demonstrated that sub-MICs of guaiacol in combination with ciprofloxacin can act as a potent alternate compound for attenuation of quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa.
    Conclusion: The study reports that guaiacol in combination with ciprofloxacin at 1/2 FIC significantly compromised the bacterial growth and motilities alongside inducing quorum quenching potential. This was accompanied by inhibition of biofilm which subsequently decreased EPS production at sub-MIC concentration. Furthermore, guaiacol in combination displayed a severe detrimental effect on bacterial membrane disruption, thereby enhancing cellular material release.
    Novelty impact statement: For the first time, the potential of guaiacol in combination with ciprofloxacin in attenuation of virulence factors, and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was described. Results corroborate how plant bioactive in synergism with antibiotics can act as an alternate treatment regime to tackle the menace of drug resistance.

    Abstract Aims and objective: Purpose of this research was to check the precision of gender identification using computed tomography (CT) head and neck scans and volumetric analysis of the maxillary sinus.
    Materials and methods: For 50 patients (25 females and 25 males), left and right maxillary sinus scans were acquired, and linear measurements (width, length, height, and volume) were assessed. Both maxillary sinus measurements' means and standard deviations were computed and contrasted.
    Results: Males have been found to have considerably larger maxillary sinuses than females.
    Conclusion: Accurate gender determination is possible with the use of maxillary sinus.

    Abstract The valorization of hemicellulose isolated from lignocellulosic biomass (wheat straw, rice husk, and bagasse) to furfural was achieved by pH-controlled acid catalysis using choline-based Brønsted acidic (BA) and natural acidic (NA) deep eutectic solvents (DES) serving both as catalyst and solvent. The effect of pH variation on the catalytic activity of various BADES and NADES prepared in 1 : 1 molar ratio was observed, and choline chloride/p-toluene sulfonic acid (ChCl/p-TSA) was found to be the best with lower pH value of 1.0. The yield of furfural decreased from 85 to 51 % with increase in pH from 1.0 to 3.0. The molar ratio of hydrogen bond donor to acceptor components was varied from 1 : 1 to 1 : 9 to achieve the lowest possible pH values of the DESs and to increase the furfural yield. Further optimization of reaction conditions was also done in terms of DES loading, time of reaction, and temperature using the model DES to achieve higher furfural yield. The best results were obtained using 5 mmol DES at pH 1.0 in 1.5 h at 120 °C. ChCl/p-TSA and ChCl/oxalic acid among BADES and ChCl/levulinic acid among NADES investigated in this work yielding 85 % furfural were found to be most efficient. The reported methodology is advantageous in terms of using bio-based green solvents, mild reaction conditions, and efficient scale-up of the reaction. The DESs were found to be efficiently recyclable up to five consecutive runs for the process.
