Bianchi type II models in the presence of perfect fluid and anisotropic dark energy
Spatially homogeneous but totally anisotropic and non-flat Bianchi type II
cosmological model has been studied in general relativity in the presence of
two minimally interacting fluids; a perfect fluid as the matter fluid and a
hypothetical anisotropic fluid as the dark energy fluid. The Einstein's field
equations have been solved by applying two kinematical ans\"{a}tze: we have
assumed the variation law for the mean Hubble parameter that yields a constant
value of deceleration parameter, and one of the components of the shear tensor
has been considered proportional to the mean Hubble parameter. We have
particularly dwelled on the accelerating models with non-divergent expansion
anisotropy as the Universe evolves. Yielding anisotropic pressure, the fluid we
consider in the context of dark energy, can produce results that can be
produced in the presence of isotropic fluid in accordance with the \Lambda CDM
cosmology. However, the derived model gives additional opportunities by being
able to allow kinematics that cannot be produced in the presence of fluids that
yield only isotropic pressure. We have obtained well behaving cases where the
anisotropy of the expansion and the anisotropy of the fluid converge to finite
values (include zero) in the late Universe. We have also showed that although
the metric we consider is totally anisotropic, the anisotropy of the dark
energy is constrained to be axially symmetric, as long as the overall energy
momentum tensor possesses zero shear stress.Comment: 15 pages; 5 figures; matches the version published in The European

Variable Modified Chaplygin Gas in Anisotropic Universe with Kaluza-Klein Metric
In this work, we have consider Kaluza-Klein Cosmology for anisotropic
universe where the universe is filled with variable modified chaplygin gas
(VMCG). Here we find normal scalar field and the self interacting
potential to describe the VMCG Cosmology. Also we graphically
analyzed the geometrical parameters named {\it statefinder parameters} in
anisotropic Kaluza-Klein model. Next, we consider a Kaluza-Klein model of
interacting VMCG with dark matter in the Einstein gravity framework. Here we
construct the three dimensional autonomous dynamical system of equations for
this interacting model with the assumption that the dark energy and the dark
matter are interact between them and for that we also choose the interaction
term. We convert that interaction terms to its dimensionless form and perform
stability analysis and solve them numerically. We obtain a stable scaling
solution of the equations in Kaluza-Klein model and graphically represent
solutions.Comment: 11 pages, 13 figure
Some anisotropic universes in the presence of imperfect fluid coupling with spatial curvature
We consider Bianchi VI spacetime, which also can be reduced to Bianchi types
VI0-V-III-I. We initially consider the most general form of the energy-momentum
tensor which yields anisotropic stress and heat flow. We then derive an
energy-momentum tensor that couples with the spatial curvature in a way so as
to cancel out the terms that arise due to the spatial curvature in the
evolution equations of the Einstein field equations. We obtain exact solutions
for the universes indefinetly expanding with constant mean deceleration
parameter. The solutions are beriefly discussed for each Bianchi type. The
dynamics of the models and fluid are examined briefly, and the models that can
approach to isotropy are determined. We conclude that even if the observed
universe is almost isotropic, this does not necessarily imply the isotropy of
the fluid (e.g., dark energy) affecting the evolution of the universe within
the context of general relativity.Comment: 17 pages, no figures; to appear in International Journal of

Bianchi Type I Cosmology in Generalized Saez-Ballester Theory via Noether Gauge Symmetry
In this paper, we investigate the generalized Saez-Ballester scalar-tensor
theory of gravity via Noether gauge symmetry (NGS) in the background of Bianchi
type I cosmological spacetime. We start with the Lagrangian of our model and
calculate its gauge symmetries and corresponding invariant quantities. We
obtain the potential function for the scalar field in the exponential form. For
all the symmetries obtained, we determine the gauge functions corresponding to
each gauge symmmetry which include constant and dynamic gauge. We discuss
cosmological implications of our model and show that it is compatible with the
observational data.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in 'European Physical

Non-vacuum Solutions of Bianchi Type VI_0 Universe in f(R) Gravity
In this paper, we solve the field equations in metric f(R) gravity for
Bianchi type VI_0 spacetime and discuss evolution of the expanding universe. We
find two types of non-vacuum solutions by taking isotropic and anisotropic
fluids as the source of matter and dark energy. The physical behavior of these
solutions is analyzed and compared in the future evolution with the help of
some physical and geometrical parameters. It is concluded that in the presence
of isotropic fluid, the model has singularity at and represents
continuously expanding shearing universe currently entering into phantom phase.
In anisotropic fluid, the model has no initial singularity and exhibits the
uniform accelerating expansion. However, the spacetime does not achieve
isotropy as in both of these solutions.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Astrophys. Space Sc

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF PH-DEPENDENT SUSTAINED RELEASE TABLET OF BEMPEDOIC ACID
The main goal about this research had been to create a sustained release tablet formulation that is pH-dependent for Bempedoic Acid, a drug that is acid labile and poorly soluble in water in the stomach environment. The objective of formulation is to enable the dose form that the stomach will not dissolve, it begins break down in upper small intestine, as well as to release the active ingredient gradually and under controlled circumstances. As part of the preformulation investigations, the drug-excipient compatibility, and partition coefficient were examined. In order to create a sustained release tablet that is pH-dependent, Eudragit® L100 and Eudragit® S100 were combined. It was established how the drug release rate was affected by the solubilizer, binder, coated concentration of polymers, plasticizer, and pore former. The findings showed that while no drug was found when the drug was submitted to release of drugs experiments in hydrochloric acid at 0.1 mol/L for two hours, almost within 12 hours, 90% of the medication was released in the pH 6.8 phosphate buffer in a sustained release fashion. The coated film\u27s pore development and/or stress sites were engaged in the drug release mechanism. For three months, the coated tablets remained stable at 40°C with a relative humidity of 75%. These outcomes demonstrated a viability in the coated tablet system containing Bempedoic Acid, which could aid in the effective management of cardiovascular illness
Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitor ingestion negatively impacts the growth of sorghum pest Chilo partellus and promotes differential protease expression
Background
Chilo partellus is an important insect pest infesting sorghum and maize. The larvae internalize in the stem, rendering difficulties in pest management. We investigated the effects of Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitors (CanPIs) on C. partellus larvae by in-vitro and in-vivo experiments.
Methods
Recombinant CanPI-7 (with four-Inhibitory Repeat Domains, IRDs), -22 (two-IRDs) and insect proteinase activities were estimated by proteinase assays, dot blot assays and in gel activity assays. Feeding bioassays of lab reared C. partellus with CanPI-7 and -22 were performed. C. partellus proteinase gene expression was done by RT-PCR. In-silico structure prediction of proteinases and CanPI IRDs was carried out, their validation and molecular docking was done for estimating the interaction strength.
Results
Larval proteinases of C. partellus showed higher activity at alkaline pH and expressed few proteinase isoforms. Both CanPIs showed strong inhibition of C. partellus larval proteinases. Feeding bioassays of C. partellus with CanPIs revealed a dose dependent retardation of larval growth, reduction of pupal mass and fecundity, while larval and pupal periods increased significantly. Ingestion of CanPIs resulted in differential up-regulation of C. partellus proteinase isoforms, which were sensitive to CanPI-7 but were insensitive to CanPI-22. In-silico interaction studies indicated the strong interaction of IRD-9 (of CanPI-22) with Chilo proteinases tested.
Conclusions
Of the two PIs tested, CanPI-7 prevents induction of inhibitor insensitive proteinases in C. partellus so it can be explored for developing C. partellus tolerance in sorghum.
General significance
Ingestion of CanPIs, effectively retards C. partellus growth; while differentially regulating the proteinases
