Formulation And Characterization Of Root Extract Of Punica Granatum L. Containing Ointment Against Bacterial Pathogens

The potential antimicrobial activity and physicochemical characteristics of a ointment containing roots of Punica granatum L. were examined. The antimicrobial activity was carried out by performing agar well diffusion method. Antimicrobial efficacy of aqueous and ethylacetate solvent extract of roots of Punica granatum L was evaluated against E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The extracts which showed better results were chosen for formulation of ointment. We created an ointment by mixing 10% w/w aqueous extract of Punica granatum into an aqueous cream. The homogeneity, spreadability, extrudability, pH, viscosity, the ointment formulation were all evaluated. These results imply that a herbal ointment derived from Punica granatum is a potent topical formulation that combines contemporary pharmaceutical technology with traditional herbal medicine to treat skin infections

Biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles Using Rosaceae Petal extract and analysing its antimicrobial assay

Recent developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology have brought about a fundamental shift in the way we identify, treat, and prevent numerous diseases in all aspects of human life. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most significant and intriguing metallic nanoparticles employed in biomedical applications. AgNPs are very important for the domains of nanomedicine, nanoscience, and nanotechnology. Although numerous noble metals have been used for a wide range of applications, AgNPs have drawn special attention because of their potential for use in cancer treatment and diagnosis. The study showed an efficient method for the successful synthesis of AgNPs using petal extract from Rosaceae plants and characterizes them using a UV spectrometer and SEM. The produced AgNPs showed notable antibacterial activity against a variety of microbes, suggesting that they could find use as an antimicrobial agent in a number of different contexts. The work offers insightful information about how AgNPs might be used as a robust antibacterial agent against a variety of microbes

Smart Wearable Gadget for Miners Using IOT

Safety is the most important part of any kind of assiduity is safety. In extreme circumstances, safety-related negligence could result in the destruction of expensive clothing or the loss of human life. Every min-ing diligence adhere to a few basic preventative measures in order to avoid any generally unwelcome wonders. The most important component at this time is communication in order to continuously monitor various pa-rameters and take the appropriate actions as a result to avoid any risks linked with the product or the management of mortal funds. A stable and wide-range effective communication system between personnel in the mine and the control centre must be built in order to increase safety in un-derground mines. The cable communication network technology is inef-fective within underground mines. Here we can tackle the matter of acci-dents which end with death of several people per annum. It is discovered that the speed of fatality within the coal pit industry is almost six times the speed for all private industries. And most of those accidents are because of toxic gases, fires, and a lack of rescue systems. By implementing mine surveillance gadgets, which may be used within the mine and detect the number of various gases, fall, emergency detection and report to them. This article focuses on the design and analysis of the smart wearable gadget for miners in the mining industry using IoT

Effects of slag content on the residual mechanical properties of ambient air-cured geopolymers exposed to elevated temperatures

This paper presents the effects of various slag contents on the residual compressive strength and physical properties of ambient air-cured fly ash-slag blended geopolymers after exposure to various elevated temperatures up to 800°C. The results showed an increasing trend in the compressive strength of ambient air-cured geopolymers with increase in the slag contents after exposure to 400 and 600°C temperatures. This trend deviated, however, at 800°C. Nevertheless, all the geopolymers showed reductions in control compressive strength at ambient temperature after exposure to elevated temperatures. The reductions were much higher at 600 and 800°C compared to 400°C. All the geopolymers exhibited significant damage in terms of cracking after exposure to a temperature of 800°C compared to 400 and 600°C and significant damage occurred at slag contents of 15–30%. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images of the above geopolymers also showed higher porosity at 800°C compared to 400 and 600°C. Traces of calcite/calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) peaks are observed in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of fly ash-slag geopolymers, and the intensity of those peaks increased with increases in slag contents. After exposure to elevated temperatures, the calcite/CSH peaks disappeared and new phases of nepheline and gehlenite were formed at 800°C in all the fly ash-slag geopolymers

Design and Fabrication of Solar Powered Tiller with Seed Sowing

Agriculture is very important for the Indian economy. India being a developed nation, where agriculture plays a major role in developing the nation needs in all outcomes, The present project aims to develop Solar Powered tiller to reduce the time of the farmer by digging into the soil for multiple times in a certain area, where it’s having an attachment of seed sowing. The chain sprocket is a motorized by wiper motor and tiller blade will break the soil into small pieces, which helps improve the aeration of soil and prevents weeds from growing. Here the power to accelerate the equipment is utilized from the solar panel and stored in the battery for further purpose, where the panel is fixed at the top of the tiller for continuous rays of energy absorption. The multimeter is fixed to check the solar panel output voltage. By using the power, it tends to run the tiller in a proper manner. The seed sowing hopper is fixed at back side of wheel, where the seeds are flow in ground by reciprocating motion by means of rotating wiper motor. Now this project's major focus is on creating a functional operating system. High safety reduced human effort, improved soil tiller efficiency, decreased work load, less worker fatigue, and lower maintenance costs are all achieved by the project.</jats:p

Furoate Based Functionalised Ionic Liquid: Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Studies

A tetraalkyl ammonium cation and furoate anion based functionalised ionic liquid (FIL), N-methyl-N,N,N-trioctylammonium furoate ([MTOA]+[FA]–) has been synthesised and characterised using FT-IR, NMR, and UV spectroscopic techniques. The invitro antimicrobial activity of the synthesised FIL against two types of Gram-positive bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter faecalis as well as Gram-negative bacteria, namely Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested using a well diffusion method. Similarly, an antifungal test was done against Candida albicans. [MTOA]+[FA]– showed significant inhibitory effect against all the organisms tested as compared with the chosen standards. Antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria (zone of inhibition: 16 to 30mm) was found to be higher than that of Gram-negative bacteria (zone of inhibition: 11 to 19mm). Moreover, the antioxidant activity of the synthesised FIL from a ferrous ion (Fe2+) chelating assay and its scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, H2O2, and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) free radical using spectrophotometric methods are reported. The FIL, [MTOA]+[FA]– showed a moderate antioxidant activity.</jats:p
