Ipsita Mishra,Ravi Nath Tripathi,Vijay Kumar Singh,Tsuyoshi Hanamoto 전력전자학회 2019 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2019 No.5

A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation approach providing a platform to develop a controller prototype as well as emulators for motor system and power electronic converters that allows rapid testing and proactive system evaluation with an advantage of low cost, safety, and flexibility to operate in extreme boundary conditions. However, the variety of HIL combinations can be adopted to realize a system model that is neither too simple nor to be highly complex to match the realistic behavior considering transient condition and steady state condition. In this paper, a discrete time simulation model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system is presented for FPGA HIL simulation. Moreover, different combination of HIL approach is adopted for detailed performance analysis considering transient behavior of the system. The entire system is implemented using the MATLAB/Simulink and system generator platform provided by Xilinx for HIL simulation using FPGA.

Mineralization of semiconductor nanocrystals on peptide-coated bionanotubes and their pH-dependent morphology changes.

Banerjee, Ipsita A,Muniz, Germaine,Lee, Sang-Yup,Matsui, Hiroshi American Scientific Publishers 2007 Journal of nanoscience and nanotechnology Vol.7 No.7

<P>While various mineralizing peptides have been applied to grow metal nanoparticles on bionanotube templates, the semiconductor nanoparticle growth on nanotubes has not extensively been explored yet. In this paper, various semiconductor nanocrystals were grown on the bionanotubes surfaces with controlled sizes. When three synthetic peptides, which recognize and selectively bind Ge, Ti, and Cu ions, respectively, were incorporated on template bionanotube surfaces, highly crystalline and monodisperse Ge, TiO2, and Cu2S nanocrystals were grown on the tube surfaces. The sizes of these nanocrystals could be tuned as a function of pH, and larger semiconductor nanocrystals were grown as the pH of growth solutions was increased. All of these nanocrystals from smaller sizes to larger sizes had the same crystallinity. This peptide-controlled nanocrystal growth technique will be very useful to prepare semiconductor nanowires as building blocks for future microelectronics, whose band gaps can be tuned by the sizes of coated semiconductor nanoparticles via their quantum confinement effect. The novelty of this approach in the electronic device fabrication is that the semiconductor nanocrystal size control can be achieved by controlling peptide configurations via pH change, and this control may tune electronic structures and band gaps of the resulting semiconductor nanowires.</P>

Security in terms of Networks have turn out to be more significant to Organizations, Military and personal computer user’s. Since various kinds of threats are for data from sending it from sender side over internet till it reaches to receiver. Here we will focus on SSL it is a technique used to give client and server authentication, data confidentiality and data integrity. It transform our data into unintelligible form, data which we will be sending can be text or no text form, by encrypting our data we can save it from attacks like eavesdropping, in which interception of communication by unauthorized person, he can either listen or can add malicious information in our data which can lead to catastrophic results. This technique of secure data transmission is very useful in securing the integrity of data sent by the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in military application to commercially used Electricity meter. Since the above mentioned devices uses microcontroller to send data through internet hence this data is always going to be susceptible to above mentioned threats so it is important to ensure that it doesn’t fall in wrong hands, our objective is that our microcontroller sends the data to remote location has authenticity, confidentiality and integrity. First we will send some meaningful text already stored in controller of STM3240G Eval-board then that data will be sent to server. These encrypted packets will be sending to remote server through Ethernet. At the receiver end this data will be received and decrypted to get the original captured data.

Biranchi Narayana Padhi,Mukundjee Pandey,Ipsita Mishra 대한기계학회 2021 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.35 No.10

The article deals with the effects of change in dimensions of solar chimney upon the thermodynamic characteristics of the air flowing inside it. The solar chimney at Manzanares (Spain) has been selected as the base model for this study. ANSYS-Discovery-Aim 2019 R1 has been used for the simulation of different geometric variations of solar chimney along with its validation with the work by Haaf et al. It is found that of all the geometric changes, the increase in roof height is undesirable. While for others like increase in chimney height, increase in chimney diameter and increase in collector radius gives desirable results in terms of increase in velocity of air. Also, for the case with an increase in chimney diameters; it is found to be suitable if the turbines are placed at the outlet of the collector and not within the chimney.

In this paper, we have designed an energy efficient wrist watch on 28nm FPGA. The code has been implemented in Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.2. The device used is XC7K160T, package used is FBG676 and it is working on -3 speed grade. The wrist band will take the blood pressure as input and will tell about the state of the person wearing it. The design supports Internet of things service that’s why IP addresses are involved. This wrist band design is very helpful in biomedical areas. Research is in progress in this field. In this paper frequency is varied to obtain power consumption of Wrist Watch. Airflow has been kept 250 LFM and medium Heat sink. IO Standards has been varied in order to achieve an energy efficient device. Main emphasis has been done on MOBILE_DDR, LVTTL, HSUL_12, HSTL_I, LVCMOS33 and SSTL15 IO Standards. To design an energy efficient device we are using capacitance scaling and the capacitance is scaled down from 100pF to 20pF. During capacitance scaling, we observe that there is no change in clock power, logic power and signal power. Thermal Aware design is current research area. Analysis has been at two temperatures that is at 25 degree Celsius and at 50 degree Celsius. At the end we can conclude that the maximum power is consumed at 2.2GHz and minimum power is consumed at 1.2GHz. In respect of capacitance maximum power is consumed at 100pF and minimum power is consumed at 20pF at both temperatures at 25 degree Celsius and 50 degree Celsius.

Francis, Lydia,Meng, Decheng,Knowles, Jonathan,Keshavarz, Tajalli,Boccaccini, Aldo R.,Roy, Ipsita Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MD 2011 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES Vol.12 No.7

<P>Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB), produced from <I>Bacillus cereus</I> SPV using a simple glucose feeding strategy was used to fabricate P(3HB) microspheres using a solid-in-oil-water (s/o/w) technique. For this study, several parameters such as polymer concentration, surfactant and stirring rates were varied in order to determine their effect on microsphere characteristics. The average size of the microspheres was in the range of 2 μm to 1.54 μm with specific surface areas varying between 9.60 m<SUP>2</SUP>/g and 6.05 m<SUP>2</SUP>/g. Low stirring speed of 300 rpm produced slightly larger microspheres when compared to the smaller microspheres produced when the stirring velocity was increased to 800 rpm. The surface morphology of the microspheres after solvent evaporation appeared smooth when observed under SEM. Gentamicin was encapsulated within these P(3HB) microspheres and the release kinetics from the microspheres exhibiting the highest encapsulation efficiency, which was 48%, was investigated. The <I>in vitro</I> release of gentamicin was bimodal, an initial burst release was observed followed by a diffusion mediated sustained release. Biodegradable P(3HB) microspheres developed in this research has shown high potential to be used in various biomedical applications.</P>

Novel Biodegradable and Biocompatible Poly(3‐hydroxyoctanoate)/Bacterial Cellulose Composites

Basnett, Pooja,Knowles, Jonathan C.,Pishbin, Fatemah,Smith, Caroline,Keshavarz, Tajalli,Boccaccini, Aldo R.,Roy, Ipsita WILEY‐VCH Verlag 2012 Advanced Engineering Materials Vol.14 No.6

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Novel poly(3‐hydroxyoctanoate), P(3HO), and bacterial cellulose composites have been developed. P(3HO) is hydrophobic in nature whereas bacterial cellulose is extremely hydrophilic in nature. Therefore, homogenized bacterial cellulose has been chemically modified in order to achieve compatibility with the P(3HO) matrix. Modified bacterial cellulose microcrystals and P(3HO) have been physically blended and solvent casted into two‐dimensional composite films. Mechanical characterization shows that the Young's modulus of the P(3HO)/bacterial cellulose composites is significantly higher in comparison to the neat P(3HO) film. The melting temperature (<I>T</I><SUB>m</SUB>) of the composites is lower while the glass transition temperature (<I>T</I><SUB>g</SUB>) is higher than the neat P(3HO) film. Also, the composite film has a rougher surface topography as compared to the neat P(3HO) film. A month's in vitro degradation study has been carried out in Dulbeccos modified eagle medium and in phosphate buffer saline. The incorporation of modified bacterial cellulose microcrystal in the P(3HO) film has increased the degradability of the composite film. Finally, in vitro biocompatibility studies using human microvascular endothelial cells established the biocompatibility of the P(3HO)/bacterial cellulose microcrystal films. The cell proliferation was 50–110% higher on the P(3HO)/bacterial cellulose composites as compared to the neat P(3HO) film. Hence, in this study, for the first time, P(3HO)/bacterial cellulose composites have been developed. The addition of bacterial cellulose has resulted in properties that are highly desirable for medical applications including the development of biodegradable stents.</P>

Exploring the binding interactions of NOP receptor with designed natural phytochemical-neuropeptide conjugates: an in silico and SPR study

Murray Molly E.,Goncalves Beatriz G.,Biggs Mary A.,Frantzeskos Sophia A.,Lebedenko Charlotta G.,Banerjee Ipsita A. 한국응용생명화학회 2024 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.67 No.-

The Nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptor is considered a member of the opioid receptor subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) which has been shown to be present in many parts of the central nervous system (CNS). It plays biologically diverse roles in pain modulation, immune response and in neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, phytochemical conjugates of two known neuropeptides, melanocyte inhibition factor (MiF-1) and mammalian amidated neuropeptide NPFF with pain modulating ability were developed. The binding interactions of those conjugates with NOP receptor was examined as an approach to develop novel natural compounds that can modulate NOP receptor activity. The selected phytochemicals are well-known for their antioxidant abilities and are derived either from natural alkaloids (betanin), polyphenols (gallic acid and sinapic acid) or terpenes (pomolic acid). Each of the phytochemicals selected are antioxidants which may play a role in mitigating diseases. Three conjugates of betanin were designed with each peptide by conjugating each of the three carboxylic acid groups of betanin with the peptides, while all others were mono-conjugates. Our results indicated that the betanin conjugates with both peptides showed strong binding interactions while the pomolate-peptide conjugates showed moderate binding. In general, NPFF and its conjugates showed stronger binding with the receptor. Docking and molecular dynamics studies revealed that binding interactions occurred at the binding pocket encompassing the transmembrane helices TM1, TM3 and TM7 in most cases, with the ligands binding deep within the hydrophobic core. The binding interactions were further confirmed experimentally through SPR analysis, which also showed higher binding with the betanin conjugates. MMGBSA studies indicated that the binding energies of MiF-1 conjugates were higher compared to neat MiF-1. However, in the case of NPFF, while the betanin conjugates showed enhancement, in some cases the binding energies were found to be slightly reduced compared to neat NPFF. Overall our studies reveal that such natural phytochemical derivatives that can bind to the NOP receptor when conjugated to the mammalian amidated neuropeptide NPFF and the short sequence of melanocyte inhibiting factor MiF-1 may be potentially developed for further laboratory studies for potential pharmaceutical applications.

Poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate P(3HO), a Medium Chain Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate Homopolymer from Pseudomonas mendocina

Rai, Ranjana,Yunos, Darmawati M.,Boccaccini, Aldo R.,Knowles, Jonathan C.,Barker, Ian A.,Howdle, Steven M.,Tredwell, Gregory D.,Keshavarz, Tajalli,Roy, Ipsita American Chemical Society 2011 Biomacromolecules Vol.12 No.6

<P><named-content content-type='genus-species' xlink:type='simple'>Pseudomonas mendocina</named-content> was found to produce a unique homopolymer of poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), P(3HO), rather than a copolymer, when grown on sodium octanoate as the sole carbon source. Although this polymer has been produced by other organisms, interestingly this is the first time an absolute homopolymer has been produced by a wild type organism. In addition, a detailed study on the effects of different extraction methods on the yield, molecular weight, thermal properties, and lipopolysaccharide content of P(3HO) has been carried out. The organism was able to accumulate P(3HO) up to 31.38% of its dry cell weight within 48 h in mineral salt medium. Characterization of the monomer was carried out using FTIR, GC-MS, <SUP>13</SUP>C, <SUP>1</SUP>H, and HSQC NMR spectroscopy. The polymer had a crystallinity of 37.5%, Young’s modulus value of 11.6 MPa and contact angle of 77.3°. Microstructural studies of solvent cast polymer films revealed a smooth surface topography with a root-mean-square roughness value of 0.238 μm.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/bomaf6/2011/bomaf6.2011.12.issue-6/bm2001999/production/images/medium/bm-2011-001999_0007.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/bm2001999'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
