Photocatalytic application of magnesium spinel ferrite in wastewater remediation:A review

This review paper explores the efficacy of magnesium ferrite-based catalysts in photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminates(antibiotic and dyes).We report the influence of different doping strategies,synthesis methods,and composite materials on the degradation efficiency of these pollutants.Our analysis reveals the versatile and promising nature of magnesium ferrite-based catalysts,offering the valuable insights into their practical application for restoring the environment.Due to the smaller band gap and magnetic nature of magnesium ferrite,it holds the benefit of utilising the broader spectrum of light while also being recoverable.The in-depth analysis of magnesium ferrites'photocatalytic mechanism could lead to the development of cheap and reliable photocatalyst for the wastewater treatment.This concise review offers a thorough summary of the key advancements in this field,highlighting the pivotal role of the magnesium ferrite based photocatalysts in addressing the pressing global issue of organic pollutants in wastewater.

A 2Mbps Human Body Communication Transceiver Based on Body Antenna Effect

This paper presents a human body communication(HBC)transceiver for wireless body network applications.The transceiver employs on frequency shift keying(FSK)modulation and op-erates in 40 MHz-60 MHz which is the resonant frequency of the human body as an antenna.It achieves high performance and stability through establish passive microstrip line and via models and active device-models.The proposed transceiver is designed and fabricated by FR4 printed cir-cuit board(PCB)process,the transceiver has the ability of configurable data rate up to 2 Mbps and it achieves-86 dBm receiving sensitivity at 2 Mbps data rate.Meanwhile,the transceiver out-put power dynamics range is 34 dB.Furthermore,with a visual interaction interface,the transceiv-er can be agility use in a variety of scenarios.Its measurements are verified on human body.The result shows that the transceiver has ability to send data from person to person by relying on hu-man body antenna radiation.The transceiver shows great prospect in wireless body area networks(WBAN)for telemedicine and emergency communication.

A Novel Flexible Antenna at Very High Frequency Band for On-Body Applications

This paper proposes a novel flexible antenna design operating at very high frequency(VHF)band for on-body applications such as human body communication(HBC).The antenna consists of back-to-back E-shaped fractal and complimentary structures designed over a thin flex-ible substrate.The overall design working on the principle of fractal geometries and capacitive coupling is highly beneficial to achieve better antenna characteristics even at low frequencies around 35 MHz-45 MHz that are being used for HBC application.The proposed antenna obtained a large bandwidth of around 10.0 MHz in air and a bandwidth of around 8.0 MHz during on-body opera-tion.The antenna has been tested in three different scenarios viz.air,on-body single antenna and on-body communication using two antennas.The insertion loss is reduced to a minimum in all three scenarios,which is quite beneficial for better signal transmission.The size miniaturization with high flexibility in such low frequencies has also been achieved in the paper that makes the proposed design suitable for human body communication applications.

Factors affecting the quantity and quality of platelet-rich plasma and platelet-derived growth factor-BB:an observational study

Objective:Platelet-rich plasma(PRP)releases growth factors upon activation,which in turn accelerates healing and regeneration of the target tissue.However,PRP composition may vary according to the patient’s demographics,and wider applications of PRP warrant product standardization.The current study aimed to examine variables influencing the platelet-derived growth factor BB(PDGF-BB)concentration in PRP.Methods:This observational study was conducted in the Department of Pathology and Dentistry at Swami Rama Himalayan University,a tertiary care hospital in northern India from December 2016 to November 2017.PRP was prepared from 40mL of whole blood from 35 individuals(22 women,13 men).Platelet counts,platelet indices(platelet distribution width,mean platelet volume)and PDGF-BB levels were measured,and platelet yield,platelet dose,and growth factor dose in PRP were also calculated.All parameters were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.The association between PDGF-BB and PRP platelet count was evaluated using logistic regression.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Swami Rama Himalayan University(SRHU/HIMS/ETHICS/2016/103)on September 7,2016.Results:The mean platelet count,PDGF-BB concentration,platelet yield,platelet dose,and growth factor dose in PRP were 1317×10^(9)/L,30±9.89ng/mL,71.62±28.34%,6.5±3.5×10^(9),and 159.62±52.39ng/mL,respectively.Linear regression analysis indicated that PRP platelet counts were a good predictor for PGDF-BB(P<0.05;adjusted R^(2)=0.96.PRP platelet count was significantly positively correlated with PDGF-BB concentration(r=0.74,P<0.001),platelet yield(r=0.80,P<0.001),platelet dose(r=1,P<0.001),and growth factor dose(r=0.74,P<0.001).Conclusions:PRP has wide clinical applications associated with its healing and regenerative properties,and both the quality and quantity of PRP thus need to be standardized as per the requirements.Evaluating variables affecting PRP will thus aid pathologists and clinical practitioners.
