Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Metabolism in Anesthesia: A Pharmacogenomic Perspective
Abstract: Pharmacogenomics studies how a person’s genetic profile affects their reaction to drugs, which is vital in anesthesia. Anesthetic pharmacology depends significantly on drug metabolism, which involves complex biochemical processes that manage the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of anesthetic drugs. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme family plays a critical role in the metabolism of various anesthetic drugs, with genetic polymorphisms leading to inter-individual variability in drug responses. Specific CYP …

Nanostructured Cr-WS2 Solid Lubricant Coating for Space Applications
Abstract: Abstract Tungsten disulphide (WS2) is one of the widely used intrinsic low friction materials, which is commonly used in the form of coating. WS2 offers very low coefficient of friction only in non humid conditions. Presence of humidity destroys this property and restricts its utility. Modifying the structure of WS2 by adding certain metals helps in overcoming this limitation and in addition improves the mechanical properties. Further, deposition technique and …

Fabrication and Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Quartz Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Composite
Abstract: Composites are processed by adding a reinforcement phase in a base metal. The base material is known as a matrix and the constituent that is added is called reinforcement. The matrix acts as a support while the reinforcements attach themselves in their respective positions which results in the synthesis of a material which has different mechanical and thermal properties compared to their raw materials. Since aluminium is used as a …

An Overview on Energy Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Material for Wi-Fi Systems
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of wireless-networked devices has intensified the demand for sustainable, maintenance-free power sources that can keep small-scale Wi-Fi modules operational in hard-to-reach or infrastructure-limited environments. This study investigates the feasibility of harvesting ambient mechanical energy using piezoelectric transduction technology and directly feeding the harvested power to a low-power Wi-Fi communication subsystem. A compact energy-harvesting module was engineered from lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) cantilevers with resonant frequencies tuned to the dominant …

Organophilicization of Bentonite by HDTMA+ and TMPA+ Cations for Sorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in Aqueous Solution
Abstract: Bentonite (Bt) was converted to organoclays by intercalation of cationic surfactants into its interlayer space. Two types of organoclays were synthesized from HDTMA and TMPA at 100% CEC, and the adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. The adsorption capacities of Bt and the organoclays for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophrnol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solutions were tested under different conditions. Two adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms) were used …
