Fabrication and Characterization of Zinc-based Alloy for Bio-implants
Abstract: Zinc-based alloys are potential biodegradable implants and can replace Magnesium and Titaniumbased materials via engineering their biomechanical properties with Zinc. Implants, due to their intricate geometries are difficult to fabricate by conventional manufacturing techniques. Therefore, they are usually fabricated by Additive manufacturing and Powder metallurgy techniques. In the present work, Zinc, Magnesium, manganese and titanium are alloyed using powder metallurgy technique. Vickers micro-hardness, UTM, Zeiss microscopy and Corrosion testing using …

Evaluation of Patient-Specific Quality Assurance for RapidArc Treatment Delivery Using Dose Volume Histogram
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the application of dose volume histogram (DVH) metrics within the patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) protocol in various sites for RapidArc treatment delivery. Forty patients were included in this study, of which twenty each Head and Neck (H&N) and Pelvis Rapid Arc plans were evaluated. Octavius 4D 1500 detector array with vented parallel plate ion chambers was used for this study, which reconstruct the pre-treatment measured …

Revealing the Effect of Swift Carbon Ion Beam on Radiation Sensitivity of Radio-frequency Magnetron Sputtered Grown Alumina Thin Films
Abstract: Regarding targeted treatment, hadron therapy is beneficial than conventional radiotherapy based on X rays/gamma rays due to characteristic energy loss profile of energetic charged particle during ion matter interaction. In this regard, dose monitoring and its precise measurement with spatial accuracy are very crucial. Thermoluminescence (TL) based thin film radiation dosimeter has the potential to serve this purpose. In hadron therapy, use of swift carbon ion beam is found to …

Kaniadakis Holographic Dark Energy by Using Hybrid Scale Factor
Abstract: We carry out the work on Kaniadakis holographic dark energy KHDE with hybrid expansion law by taking the scale factor containing both exponent and exponential form. Therby revealing the present state of accelerating and expanding universe in the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walber universe. The deceleration parameter q portrays whether he universe is decelerating or accererating. q greater than zero suggests the universe is slowing down or getting decelerated and q less than …

A Comparative Study of Zinc Oxide Nano Particles Synthesized by Hydrothermal, Sol-gel and Thermal Decomposition
Abstract: In the proposed work, Zinc oxide nano particles (ZnO NP's) are synthesized using three different methods: Hydrothermal, Sol-gel and Thermal decomposition. The samples are characterized using X- ray diffraction (XRD), UV visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern exhibit single-phase polycrystalline nature of all the samples exhibiting the most intense peak at (101). The diffraction peaks are located at 31.80, 34.46, …

Breakup Fusion of 18O with 144Sm
Abstract: Excitation function measurements have been done for the evaporation residues populating in the system 18O+144Sm. For this purpose, the stacked foil activation technique has been used subsequently accompanied by offline γ-ray spectrometry. The analysis of the experimental cross section of three evaporation residues 158Tm(p3n), 157Tm(p4n), and 155Ho(ap2n) has been done in the light of theoretical code PACE-4. Current findings demonstrate that the experimental cross sections of evaporation residues formed via …

Dispersion Analysis of TE Modes in 1D Magnetized Ferrite Photonic Crystals for Tunable and Switchable Band Gap Filtering Device Applications under Transverse Magnetization Configuration
Abstract: The article comprehensively explores the dispersion characteristics exhibited by TE modes within one-dimensional magnetized ferrite photonic crystals, particularly under the influence of transverse magnetization. We employed the rigorous transfer matrix method, a powerful tool for theoretical investigation, calculation, and behavior analysis of such intricate systems. Our research delves into the structural parameters that govern the behavior of these ferrite photonic crystals, explicitly focusing on the incident parallel wave vector (β) …

Asymmetrical Light Propagation in 2D Photonic Crystal Structure
Abstract: In this work, using Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) and two-dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain (2D-FDTD) methods, we design a structure that shows the high asymmetry in propagation of light. Structure is based on two-dimensional Photonic Crystal (2D-PC) consisting of square lattice (39 X 39) of infinitely long circular rods of refractive index 2.9 in the background of refractive index 1. Radius of rods is 0.15a, where a is the lattice …

FRW Universe in R2 Gravity
Abstract: We investigate a model of the Friedmann Robertson Walker metric (FRW) universe governed by hybrid expansion law (HEL) a = tα eβt in R2 gravity. By Applying, energy and stability conditions in derived model, we check its physical viability. This model is based on f (R, T) = f (R) + f (T); f (R) = R + αR2 and f (T) = T and we have assumed T = …
