Experimental investigation of time-dependent cavitation in an oscillatory squeeze film

The occurrence of time-dependent cavitation and tensile stress in an oscillatory oil squeeze film were investigated experimentally. The test apparatus was a simple thrust bearing consisting of two parallel circular plates separated by a thin viscous oil film. During the test, one plate was at rest while the other (transparent) oscillated in a direction normal to its surface. This test configuration was chosen to avoid the rotational motion and complicated geometry of a squeeze film journal bearing. The frequency of oscillation was in the range of 5 to 50 Hz and was controlled by an electro-magnetic exciter. The process of cavity formation and its subsequent development was recorded by a high-speed video camera. Concomitant pressure in the oil film was measured both within and without the cavitation region. It was found that both tensile stress and cavities existed in a squeeze film under certain working conditions.

A Review of Results on Axially Symmetric Navier-Stokes Equations,with Addendum by X. Pan and Q. Zhang

In this paper, we give a brief survey of recent results on axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations (ASNS) in the following categories: regularity criterion, Liouville property for ancient solutions, decay and vanishing of stationary solutions. Some discussions also touch on the full 3 dimensional equations. Two results, closing of the scaling gap for ASNS and vanishing of homogeneous D solutions in 3 dimensional slabs will be described in more detail.In the addendum, two new results in the 3rd category will also be presented, which are generalizations of recently published results by the author and coauthors.

Optimization of solid phase dispersive field‐assisted ultrasonication for the extraction of auramine O and crystal violet dyes using central composite design

Simultaneous preconcentration and determination of auramine o (AO) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from aqueous solution was conducted by ultrasound assisted (dispersive) solid phase microextraction (UASPME) based on SnO₂/SnS composite loaded activated carbon (SnO₂/SnS‐NCs‐AC). The prepared of SnO₂/SnS‐NCs‐AC was characterized by FESEM and XRD analysis. Main and interaction influences of operational parameters such as pH, sonication time, amounts of sorbent, and type of eluent on extraction efficiency were investigated by central composite design and optimized with desirability function approach (DFA). ANOVA was conducted and shows that optimized values were found at 15.33 min sonication time, 0.019 g SnO₂/SnS‐NCs‐AC mass, pH 5.46 and among different solvents, dimethyl formamide was selected as an efficient eluent. Under this conditions recoverees percentage were obtained 82.85% and 86.70% for AO and CV, respectively. Based on F‐test under ANOVA all main effect and interaction effect of understudy parameters has the significant effect on the responses. At optimum conditions, limit of detection (0.0015 and 0.001 mg/l), limit of quantitation (0.4 and 0.4 mg/l), limit of linearity (9.0 and 9.0 mg/l), enrichment factor (33.48 and 83.71) and percent relative standard deviation (3.44 and 4.20) were found to be for auramine o and crystal violet dyes, respectively. Finally, the method was successfully applied for the preconcentration and determination of AO and CV in water samples and ER% of 89.0‐97.0 and 96.2–98.0% as acceptable range were found to be for AO and CV samples, respectively.     

Effective biosorption of arsenic from water using La(III) loaded carboxyl functionalized watermelon rind

Arsenic is highly toxic and carcinogenic element that mainly enters into our body through drinking water and caused adverse effect even at low concentration. A new type of cation exchanger is developed from waste biomass of watermelon rind after increasing the carboxyl functional groups by saponification. Saponified Watermelon Rind (SWR) was further loaded with La(III) to attenuate the contamination of As(III) from water. Characterization of biosorbent was performed using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (Fe-SEM,) Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and zeta potential analysis. Arsenic speciation of sorption product through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis revealed that As(III) is partially converted into As(V) during biosorption process. The biosorption tests for As(III) were explored under different operating conditions. La(III)-SWR towards As(III) biosorption was best described by Langmuir biosorption isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic model. At a pH of 12.08, the optimum biosorption capacity was found to be 37.73 ± 0.12, 48.78 ± 0.09, 62.50 ± 0.11 mg/g, respectively at temperatures 298 K, 303 K and 308 K. The existance of chloride and nitrate showed negligible interference whereas sulphate and phosphate significantly inhibits As(III) biosorption. Thermodynamic study showed spontaneous and endothermic nature As(III) biosorption onto La(III)-SWR. The sorbed As(III) was eluted almost completely using 2 M NaOH. The findings of this study insinuated that La(III)-SWR biosorbent investigated in this study can be a low cost, environmentally benign and eco-friendly material for the treatment of aqueous solution polluted with arsenic ions.     

Anti-atherosclerotic activity of Betulinic acid loaded polyvinyl alcohol/methylacrylate grafted Lignin polymer in high fat diet induced atherosclerosis model rats

Betulinic acid is one such natural pentacyclic triterpenoid compound, holding various pharmacological properties but its poor bioavailability is the only limitation. One of the biological macromolecules such as Lignin is a plant-derived aromatic, eco-friendly and low-cost polymer that certainly self-assembles into nano-sized colloids. Therefore, onto the current investigation, we increased the bioavailability of betulinic acid by coating on to a nanopolymer prepared with poly vinyl alcohol, lignins and methyl acrylate. Betulinic acid loaded polyvinyl alcohol/ethylacrylate grafted Lignin polymer (PVA/Lig-g-MA) nanoformulation was characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM analysis and also the drug entrapment, in vitro drug releasing capacity was done to examine the efficiency of the nanoformulation of a drug. The MTT assay was evaluated the cytotoxicity of synthesized nanoformulation against normal endothelial cells HUVEC and HAPEC to confirm the side effects of the drug. The anti-atherosclerotic property of the nanoformulation was ascertained in both in vitro condition (with HUVEC and HPAEC) and in vivo studies (with Wistar rats). As a result, the characterization studies and in vitro studies clearly confirmed the Betulinic acid loaded PVA/Lig-g-MA nanoformulation is an ideal nanopolymer and it doesn’t cause any cytotoxic effect in normal endothelial cells. It also decreased the lipopolysaccharides induced inflammation through the down-regulation of NFκB and MAP/JNK signaling molecule expressions. Following in vivo results confirmed the synthesized nanoformulation effectively decreased the hyperchlostremia, inflammation and vasoconstriction, which induced over high fat diet. The results of histopathological analysis of cardiac tissues also confirmed the cardioprotective role of synthesized nanoformulation. Overall, both the in vitro and in vivo studies authentically proven the Betulinic acid loaded PVA/Lig-g-MA nanoformulation would be a potent cost effective anti-atherosclerotic nanodrug.
