An investigation was conducted to determine the noise propagation (under stationary condition) and noise at operator’s ear level of popular 18.7 and 26.1 kW tractors and 4.6 and 6.7 kW hand tractors during field operations with various implements. It was observed that both tractors produced the noise of 92 dB(A) Leq in the working zone of operator. The sound pressure level (SPL) of the hand tractor was about 2 dB(A) Leq higher than that of the tractor. The SPL during field operations at operator’s ear level increased with increase in engine speed and forward speed. Furthermore, the SPL was higher for field operations corresponding to the implement requiring higher draft. It was observed that the SPLs of the tractors and hand tractors were more than the exposure limit of noise for 8-h workday recommended by ISO and OSHA. This may cause health problems to the farmers in the long run. 相似文献
The removal of cobalt ions from dilute aqueous solutions using cross linked calcium alginate beads as the adsorbent is reported in this article. The influence of various experimental parameters such as pH, initial metal ion concentration, contact time and solid to liquid ratio were studied. The adsorption data were applied to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations and various static parameters were calculated. It was observed that the uptake of cobalt ions was found to increase with time and that maximum adsorption was obtained within the first 60 minutes of the process. These results indicate that the cross linked calcium alginate beads have potential for removing cobalt ions from industrial waste water. 相似文献
A series of quinoxalinone derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of o‐phenylenediamine with oxalic acid to yield 1, 4‐dihydro quinoxaline‐2, 3‐dione ( 1 ) and then treated with thionyl chloride to yield 2, 3 dichloro quinoxaline ( 2 ). This was further reacted with hydrazine hydrate to produce 2, 3‐dihydrazinyl quinoxaline ( 3 ). This was finally reacted with substituted aromatic aldehydes to produce 2,3‐bis[2‐(sustituted benzylidine) hydrazinyl] quinoxalines ( 4 ). These quinoxalinone derivatives were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MASS spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The results of the antimicrobial study revealed that compounds 4c , 4d , and 4i were active and exhibited better inhibitory activities as compared to standard drug ciprofloxacin. The results were further checked with protein legend interaction by using docking studies, and all the compounds exhibited good docking scores between ?8.72 and ?11.29 kcal/mol against dihydrofolate reductase protein fragment from Staphylococcus aureus (PDB ID‐4XE6). Among all compound, 4c has shown maximum docking score and found in agreement to in vitro studies. 相似文献
The PPAR-γ agonist enhances the insulin sensitivity and avoids the disorganized hyperglycemic by promoting the insulin guided cellular uptake of blood glucose. Therefore, in the present work PPAR-γ has chosen as the target for the molecular docking study to design an effective agonist of the same. By this research work an effort has been made to prepare amide and urea series of 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives as 4-substituted-N-(5-(4-(1-piperidino)1-piperidinyl)-1,3,4-(2-thiadiazolyl)benzamide (4a-f) and 1-(4-substitutedphenyl)-3-(5-(4-(1-piperidino)1-piperidinyl)-1,3,4-(2-thiadiazolyl)urea (6a-f) . Both the docking score as well as the pharmacological animal study data has been suggested that the electron donating group containing compound 4f and 6f are most potent molecules for the antidiabetic activity close to the standard drug pioglitazone. It was further observed that the unsubstituted aromatic ring containing derivatives have also considerable effect (4a and 6a) than the electron withdrawing containing derivatives. After the comparison of biological data for amide and urea series, it was concluded that the urea (6a-f) series is more effective than the amide series. 相似文献
To utilize the nanomaterials as an effective carrier for the drug delivery applications, it is important to study the interaction between nanomaterials and drug or biomolecules. In this study GSH functionalized Mn2+-doped CdTe/ZnS QDs has been utilized as a model nanomaterial due to its high luminescence property. Folic acid (FA) gradually quenches the FL of GSH functionalized Mn2+???doped CdTe/ZnS QDs. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant (Ksv), binding constant (Ks) and effective quenching constant (Ka) for the FA-QDs system is calculated to be 1.32?×?105 M?1, 1.92?×?105 and 0.27?×?105 M?1, respectively under optimized condition (Temp. 300 K, pH 8.0, incubation time 40 min.). The effects of temperature, pH, and incubation time on FA-QDs system have also been studied. Statistical analysis of the quenched FL intensity versus FA concentration revealed a linear range from 1?×?10?7 to 5.0?×?10?5 for FA detection. The LOD of the current nano-sensor for FA was calculated to be 0.2 μM. The effect of common interfering metal ions and other relevant biomolecules on the detection of FA (12.0 μM) have also been investigated. L-cysteine and glutathione displayed moderate effect on FA detection. Similarly, the common metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) produced minute interference while Zn2+ Cu2+ and Fe3+ exert moderate interference. Toxic metal ions (Hg2+ and Pb2+) produced severe interferences in FA detection.

By treating the static field of the atom exactly and using the eikonal wavefunction to bring in the couplings to all remaining atomic states, a simple formula for elastic scattering amplitude is derived. Its usefulness is demonstrated by applying it to electron—hydrogen scattering. 相似文献
The object of this paper is to prove an existence result on best proximity pair. For this purpose, the class of factorizable
multifunctions in approximately weakly compact, convex subset of metrizable topological vector space is used. As consequence,
our theorem generalizes the result of Basha and Veeramani[10]. Finally, certain known results have also been obtained as corollaries in this work. 相似文献
The origin of excitations in multi-chromophore carbon network substructures based on dodecadehydrotribenzo[18]annulene has been investigated by steady-state and photon echo spectroscopy, configuration interaction (CIS and CIS(D)), and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne, the simplest structural subunit within the annulene, was used in modeling the spectroscopic studies to explain the origin of excitations in the macrocycles. The optical excitations in longer linear systems were found to be similar to its diphenylacetylene analogue. However, the results from dodecadehydrotribenzo[18]annulene and other multichromophore networks systems illustrate the possibility of strong intramolecular interactions and the formation of delocalized excited states. Calculations were carried out to explain the basic similarities and differences in excitations of the model compounds such as diphenylbutadiyne and the macrocycles. The fundamental excitation in these systems can be primarily described as a pi --> pi* transition. Two low-energy resonances were observed from experiment for the annulene systems, and possible explanations for these low-energy resonances in the macrocycles are explored. The significant difference found in the calculated oscillator strength of the two low-energy bands for the macrocycles as well as the dynamics of solvent interactions was further investigated by three-pulse photon echo measurements. A simple exciton model was developed to discuss the excitations in the larger macrocycles. The results from this model were found to be in good agreement with the TD-DFT calculations. 相似文献
