Some Finite Integrals Involving Srivastava's Polynomials and the Aleph Function

Bhargava, Alok,Srivastava, Amber,Mukherjee, Rohit Department of Mathematics 2016 Kyungpook mathematical journal Vol.56 No.2

In this paper, we establish certain integrals involving Srivastava's Polynomials [5] and Aleph Function ([8], [10]). On account of general nature of the functions and polynomials involved in the integrals, our results provide interesting unifications and generalizations of a large number of new and known results, which may find useful applications in the field of science and engineering. To illustrate, we have recorded some special cases of our main results which are also sufficiently general and unified in nature and are of interest in themselves.

Rohit bhatia,Radhakrishna Pedapati,Snigdha Komakula,M.V. Padma Srivastava,Sreenivas Vishnubhatla,Dheeraj Khurana 대한뇌졸중학회 2020 Journal of stroke Vol.22 No.3

Background and Purpose Various neurological findings including stroke in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described, although no clarity exists regarding the nature and pattern of this association. This systematic review aims to report the characteristics of stroke in patients with COVID-19. Methods Three authors independently searched Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and PubMed starting from inception up to May 22, 2020. The data for individual patients was extracted where available from published reports including clinical and laboratory parameters and analysed for any significant associations between variables. Results We identified 30 relevant articles involving 115 patients with acute or subacute stroke with COVID-19. The mean±standard deviation age was 62.5±14.5 years. Stroke was ischemic in majority of the patients (101 [87.8%]). Hypertension (42 [42%]), dyslipidaemia (24 [26.1%]), and diabetes (23 [23.2%]) were the major vascular risk factors. Most of the patients (80 [85.1%]) had COVID-19 symptoms at the time of stroke with a median interval of 10 days to stroke from the diagnosis of COVID-19. Three-fourths (86 [74.8%]) of the patients were critically ill which frequently delayed the diagnosis of stroke. High levels of D-dimer, and ferritin were observed in these patients. Patients with COVID-19 and stroke had a high mortality (47.9%). Factors associated with mortality were intensive care unit admission, having two or more vascular risk factors, particularly smoking and high levels of D-dimer, C-reactive protein, and lactate dehydrogenase. Conclusions The association between stroke and COVID-19 is probably multifactorial including an amalgamation of traditional vascular risk factors, proinflammatory and a prothrombotic state. Prospectively collected data is required in the future to confirm this hypothesis.

Field effect transistors (FETs) are considered as the backbone of electronic industry. In this study, we adopted a simple drop cast method for the fabrication of MoS2 and WS2 channel based FET on commercially available pre-patterned OFET devices. The synthesis of few-layers thick MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets (NSs) has been done by solvent-assisted exfoliation method. FESEM and TEM study reveals that NSs have lateral dimensions in micron and have polycrystalline nature. From XPS, it is observed that MoS2 NSs has 2H phase whereas WS2 have hybrid 1T and 2H phase. The frequency difference in Raman vibrational mode for MoS2 and WS2 NSs is 24.08 cm-1 and 63.84 cm-1 respectively, confirms that number of layers is reduced after sonication. UV-visible spectroscopy reveals that the bandgap is 1.7 eV and 1.8 eV for MoS2 and WS2 NSs respectively. Later, these nanosheets have been drop-casted as the channel material on pre-patterned FETs devices and their output and transfer characteristics have been studied. It found that the current On/Off ratio is 10 4 and 10 3 for MoS 2 and WS2-FET device respectively. This facile fabrication of FET devices may provide a new stage for researchers who do not have access of lithography facilities for FET fabrication.

New insights in anterior cruciate ligament morphology: implications for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries

Rekha Lalwani,Rohit Srivastava,Sheetal Kotgirwar,Sunita A. Athavale 대한해부학회 2020 Anatomy & Cell Biology Vol.53 No.4

The frequency of injury of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the importance of anatomy in surgical repair and potential of the injured ACL to predispose to osteoarthritis necessitates the need for understanding its precise anatomy. Available studies have focussed on tunnel positioning and hence attachment site of the ligament. Few studies which have focussed on morphology reflect ambiguities in size, fibre bundle, number and disposition. Since a near anatomical repair of the ACL is the treatment of choice, the present study was planned to describe the morphology of ACL. Twenty-two ACL (11 right and 11 left) isolated from knee joints of collection of adult embalmed lower limbs were utilised for the study. The ACL morphology and morphometry were studied for footprints and fibre bundles. Three distinct bundles of differing lengths constitute a spiral ACL complex. These bundles are positioned as- intermediate with posteromedial and anterolateral flanking in respective positions. The tibial and femoral footprints are paw-shaped and oval respectively. Tibial footprints are approximately 2.5 times larger in area than the femoral footprints. The unique morphology of ACL vis a vis its spiralization, and its mechanical advantage of in terminal extension and conjunct rotation of knee (which are peculiarly human trait) are discussed. It is recommended to utilize the concept of spiralization and differing bundle length in ACL surgeries to achieve the favourable clinical outcome.

Electrochemical performance of Ni/TiO2 hollow sphere in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers system

Jayeeta Chattopadhyay,Rohit Srivastava,Prem Kumar Srivastava 한국화학공학회 2013 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.30 No.8

This work presents the electrocatalytic evaluation of Ni/TiO2 hollow sphere materials in PEM water electrolysis cell. All the electrocatalysts have shown remarkably enhanced electrocatalytic properties in comparison with their performance in aqueous electrolysis cell. According to cyclic voltammetric results, 0.36 A cm−2 peak current density has been exhibited in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from 30 wt% Ni/TiO2 electrocatalyst. 15 wt% Ni-doped titania sample has shown the best result in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the anodic peak current density of 0.3 A cm−2. In the anodic polarization curves, the performance of 15 wt% Ni/TiO2 hollow sphere electrocatalyst was evaluated up to 140 mA cm−2 at comparatively lower over-potential value. 20 wt% Ni/TiO2 hollow sphere electrocatalyst has also shown electrochemical stability in PEM water electrolyzer for 48 h long analysis. The comparative electrocatalytic behavior of hollow spherical materials with non-sphericals is also presented, which clearly shows the influence of hollow spherical structure in greater electrocatalytic activity of the materials. The physical characterization of all the hollow spherical materials is presented in this work, which has confirmed their better electrochemical behavior in PEM water electrolyzer.

Jayeeta Chattopadhyay,Tara Sankar Pathak,Daewon Pak,Rohit Srivastava 한국화학공학회 2016 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.33 No.5

Metal micro-/nano hollow spheres have been widely applied in numerous fields during the last decade. This review will only focus on the synthetic strategies to synthesize hollow spherical structures in the enhancement of their electrocatalytic activity, especially the metal hollow spherical materials. We present a comprehensive overview of synthetic strategies for metal hollow spherical structures which have been approached specifically in electrochemical reactions. These synthetic methods are mainly categorized as hard templates, soft templates, sacrificial templates and without templates. The review further includes electrocatalytic approaches of hollow spherical metals in different electrochemical processes, especially the methanol electro-oxidation reaction for methanol fuel cell application and hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions in water electrolyzer, as metal hollow spherical materials are especially applied in these specific reactions.
