    Abstract The present study lays an emphasis on microalgae-based treatment of sewage wastewater using Chlorella vulgaris to remove toxic pollutants and nutrients from the wastewater, making it safely dischargeable and reusable as bio-fertilizer, with simultaneous biomass and lipid production. The sewage treatment experiment was carried out in a 50 L capacity outdoor open syntax tank. The results exhibited the survival efficiency of C. vulgaris in sewage wastewater generating 0.67 g/L biomass and 0.26 g/L lipid yields. Crucial environmental factors like light intensity and temperatures have played a key role in biomass growth, lipid accumulation and nutrient removal efficiencies of C. vulgaris. The concentrations of significant nutrients like nitrates, COD and BOD were reduced up to 93%, 95% and 92% respectively. Other nutrients and parameters were removed up to 90% on an average. The treated sewage wastewater was then supplied as a bio-fertilizer to grow Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) plants as a comparative to chemical fertilizer grown plants. The results obtained from the comparative analyses showed that the tomato plant grown with treated sewage wastewater showed efficient growth and productivities as good as the chemical fertilizer aided yields. This study proved that sewage can be a successful replacement to the chemical fertilizers. The details are ornately discussed inside the paper.

    Abstract As one of the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity, various neurological diseases cause social and economic burdens. Despite significant advances in the treatment of neurological diseases, establishing a proper disease model, especially for degenerative and infectious diseases, remains a major challenging issue. For long, mice were the model of choice but suffered from serious drawbacks of differences in anatomical and functional aspects of the nervous system. Furthermore, the collection of post-mortem brain tissues limits their usage in cultured cell lines. Overcoming such limitations has prompted the usage of stem cells derived from the peripheral nervous system, such as the cells of the olfactory mucosa as a preferred choice. These cells can be easily cultured in vitro and retain the receptors of neuronal cells life-long. Such cells have various advantages over embryonic or induced stem cells, including homology, and ease of culture and can be conveniently obtained from diseased individuals through either biopsies or exfoliation. They have continuously helped in understanding the genetic and developmental mechanisms of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Moreover, the mode of infection of various viruses that can lead to post-viral olfactory dysfunction, such as the Zika virus can be monitored through these cells in vitro and their therapeutic development can be fastened.

    Abstract Phyllanthus amarus, also known as Bhui Korma in India, is well known for its medicinal properties and is used to treat several diseases worldwide. This study aims to identify phytochemicals from P. amarus and assess their anti-viral activity through in silico methods against the main protease (3CLᴾʳᵒ/Mᴾʳᵒ) enzyme of the novel coronavirus. 190 compounds were obtained from literature and docked against 3CLPro and 16 compounds showed higher binding affinity with 3CLᴾʳᵒ with their values lying between -8.9 ​kcal/mol to -9.6 ​kcal/mol. The top two compounds, Myricitrin (CID: 5352000) and Quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (CID: 12004528) gave high binding affinity values of -9.6 ​kcal/mol and -9.4 ​kcal/mol respectively and also display favourable binding interactions with the 3CLᴾʳᵒ. Both the compounds were further subjected to molecular dynamics simulation and MM-PBSA based binding free energy calculations. ADMET and drug-likeness properties were studied to assess the pharmacokinetic properties of the compounds. Favourable pharmacokinetic results reinforced the applicability of the compounds assessed. Along with continuous studies being carried out with chemical compounds, research needs to expand into all areas, including the use of natural compounds as drug compounds. The identified hits from this study can be taken further for in vitro and in vivo studies to examine their efficacy against COVID-19.

    Abstract A 2.4-GHz WLAN meander-line antenna and A Dual band meander line antenna are designed and simulated. The HFSS 3-D EM simulator is employed for design simulation. The prototypes of simulated antenna is realized on an FR-4 PCB substrate. The results are verified using Vector Network Analyzer ENA 5071C. In both Simulation and Design the measured VSWR is less than 2 from 2.4 to 2.5 GHz for the WLAN MLA and for Dual band MLA at frequencies 3.1GHz and 5.1GHz
