Biotechnological Innovations through Fungi
(Zhongkai University, 2016) V.K. Gupta; I.V. Grigoriev; J.G. Berrin; R.S. Upadhyay; S. Zeilinger-Migsich
Research on fungal systems assumes a key part in the biotechnological and biomedical sectors. It has transformed into a subject of growing importance as new fungi and their related biomolecules are described. Fungal interactions with their biotic and abiotic environment is essential to various procedures occurring in the biosphere. The indigenous habitats and hosts of these eukaryotic microorganisms are to a great degree, variously reflected, by the way that fungi are far reaching and found in almost every organic group on Earth. This metabolic flexibility makes fungus intriguing organisms for a scope of industrially important biotechnological applications. Understanding the science of particular fungi in contrasting natural biological communities and their relationship with their living and non-living surroundings is vital to bolster effective and innovative enhancements. To comprehend the potential and to truly grasp the different qualities and science of these eukaryotes, continuing with change of experimental design and strategies are significant. The basic target of this volume is to compile the work from the experts in various researches of fungal biology and biotechnology and review the most recent advances using current developments. © Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

A study of charged charm production is made at 400 GeV incident energy of protons in nuclear emulsion. A total of 7005 primary stars have been scrutinized to look for charm particle decays in the forward cone within a decay distance of 100-1,000 μm (3,056 stars) and 100-2,000 μm (3,949 stars). In all 10 charm candidates decaying to 3 charged particles plus neutrals have been observed. Background due to secondary interactions for events of such topology is estimated to be ≈3. Background due to strange particle decays is estimated to be negligible. The rest of the events are attributed to Λc+ and D± decays. This leads to a value of 91±35 μb/nucleon for the total charged charm production cross section. Using production cross section for D± from other experiments we obtain Λc+ production cross section as 62±27 μb/nucleon. Two cases of pair production of charm have been seen. © 1985 Springer-Verlag.

Background: Measuring routine childhood vaccination is crucial to inform global vaccine policies and programme implementation, and to track progress towards targets set by the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) and Immunization Agenda 2030. Robust estimates of routine vaccine coverage are needed to identify past successes and persistent vulnerabilities. Drawing from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020, Release 1, we did a systematic analysis of global, regional, and national vaccine coverage trends using a statistical framework, by vaccine and over time. Methods: For this analysis we collated 55 326 country-specific, cohort-specific, year-specific, vaccine-specific, and dose-specific observations of routine childhood vaccination coverage between 1980 and 2019. Using spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression, we produced location-specific and year-specific estimates of 11 routine childhood vaccine coverage indicators for 204 countries and territories from 1980 to 2019, adjusting for biases in country-reported data and reflecting reported stockouts and supply disruptions. We analysed global and regional trends in coverage and numbers of zero-dose children (defined as those who never received a diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis [DTP] vaccine dose), progress towards GVAP targets, and the relationship between vaccine coverage and sociodemographic development. Findings: By 2019, global coverage of third-dose DTP (DTP3; 81·6% [95% uncertainty interval 80·4–82·7]) more than doubled from levels estimated in 1980 (39·9% [37·5–42·1]), as did global coverage of the first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1; from 38·5% [35·4–41·3] in 1980 to 83·6% [82·3–84·8] in 2019). Third-dose polio vaccine (Pol3) coverage also increased, from 42·6% (41·4–44·1) in 1980 to 79·8% (78·4–81·1) in 2019, and global coverage of newer vaccines increased rapidly between 2000 and 2019. The global number of zero-dose children fell by nearly 75% between 1980 and 2019, from 56·8 million (52·6–60·9) to 14·5 million (13·4–15·9). However, over the past decade, global vaccine coverage broadly plateaued; 94 countries and territories recorded decreasing DTP3 coverage since 2010. Only 11 countries and territories were estimated to have reached the national GVAP target of at least 90% coverage for all assessed vaccines in 2019. Interpretation: After achieving large gains in childhood vaccine coverage worldwide, in much of the world this progress was stalled or reversed from 2010 to 2019. These findings underscore the importance of revisiting routine immunisation strategies and programmatic approaches, recentring service delivery around equity and underserved populations. Strengthening vaccine data and monitoring systems is crucial to these pursuits, now and through to 2030, to ensure that all children have access to, and can benefit from, lifesaving vaccines.

Membrane-damaging potential of natural L-(-)-usnic acid in Staphylococcus aureus
(2012) V.K. Gupta; S. Verma; S. Gupta; A. Singh; A. Pal; S.K. Srivastava; P.K. Srivastava; S.C. Singh; M.P. Darokar
The purpose of this investigation was to try to understand the antibacterial mechanism of L-(-)-usnic acid isolated for the first time from fruticose lichen Usnea subfloridana using clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of L-(-)-usnic acid against the clinical isolates of MRSA and reference strain S. aureus MTCC-96 (SA-96) was in the range 25-50 μg/ml. Treatment of both reference and clinical strains (MRSA-ST 2071) with fourfold MIC concentrations (100-200 μg/ml) of L-(-)-usnic acid reduced the viability of cells without damaging the cell wall. However, the loss of 260 nm absorbing material and increase in propidium iodide uptake was observed in both of the strains. Similarly, a combined effect of L-(-)-usnic acid (25-50 μg/ml) and 7.5% NaCl resulted in a reduced number of viable cells within 24 h in comparison to the control. These observations clearly indicate that L-(-)-usnic acid exerts its action by disruption of the bacterial membrane. Further, in vivo efficacy showed that L-(-)-usnic acid significantly (p<0.001) lowered the microbial load of spleen at doses ranging from 1 to 5 mg/kg. Further, toxicity studies in infected mice at doses 20 times higher than the efficacious dose indicated L-(-)usnic acid to be safe. Paradoxically, L- (-)usnic acid exhibited changes in serum triglycerides, alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) and liver organ weight in the healthy mice administered with only 25 mg/kg body weight. The results obtained in this study showed that natural L-(-)- usnic acid exerts its antibacterial activity against MRSA by disruption of the cell membrane. Further, the natural L-(-)- usnic acid was found to be safe up to 100 mg/kg body weight, thereby, making it a probable candidate for treating S. aureus infections. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
Mental Health Questionnaire (MHQ) for Managers: Development and Standardisation
(Sage Publications India Pvt. Ltd, 2022) V.K. Gupta; A.P. Singh
Nowadays mental health is being fundamental concern to human being, while work is an integral part of modern life. Mental health is an important psychological attribute that plays a determining role in increasing the performance of employees and reducing rate of absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover of employees in the organisations. Our aim was to explore the psychometric properties of the newly developed questionnaire related to mental health. The items were framed with help of the previously available tools and interaction with sampling unit. Initially, 56 items were constructed related to the emotional, psychological and social well-being, eliminating jargons and complex terms defining the dimensions and its underlying statements so that newly developed questionnaire could be used in variety of workplace settings and items were framed to fit the manager’s context. Only 42 items were retained on the basis of experts’ maximum agreement and this 42-item questionnaire was distributed to participants to take their responses. The sample comprises of 250 managers of first level working in different units of Coal India Limited. The results of reliability analysis indicate that Cronbach’s alpha =.896 after deleting the 15 items from the questionnaire due to poor corrected item total correlation, less loadings and cross loadings in exploratory factor analysis. The reliability statistics fit the optimal level of Nunnally’s criteria and statistically acceptable for newly developed questionnaire. Results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate that these 27 items are loaded on three factors and these three factors explain 42.623% of total variance in mental health. This questionnaire will be useful for assessment of mental health of managerial personnel. © 2021 SAGE Publications.

Experimental results on π--emulsion interactions at 340 GeV/c are presented. The dependence of R on the target mass is studied in the light of constituent quark models. A universal relation for the 〈Ns〉 dependence on 〈Nch〉 and 〈νA〉 is obtained. Systematics of shower multiplicity distributions are also studied and a new scaling function for integral probability distributions of shower tracks is worked out. © 1985.
Neutral charm production in 400 GeV proton-emulsion interactions

A search has been carried out for neutral charm production in 5,108 proton-emulsion interactions at 400 GeV/c. Nine charm candidates have been observed in our fiducial volume which extends from 100 μm-1,000 μm in the forward cone. One of these is a 4-prong and the others are 2-prong events with opening angle>10 mrad and momenta of both decay tracks>150 MeV/c. Search for associated charm decays was made in an extended fiducial volume around the primary stars of these nine candidates. This yielded two neutral 2-prong events, one associated with the 4-prong and the other with a 2-prong candidate. All unassociated candidates are consistent with being backgrounds due to Ks, Λ decays, neutral interactions and γ conversions whereas the background to associated events is negligible. Based on the two associated decays the inclusive cross section for D0, -0 production is determined as 27±20 μb/nucleon. Detailed measurements on the 4-prong candidate lead to the identification of one decay track as an electron and another as a kaon. This is interpreted as a semi-leptonic, Cabbibo favoured D0/D-0 decay. © 1984 Springer-Verlag.

Background: Anaemia is a major health problem worldwide. Global estimates of anaemia burden are crucial for developing appropriate interventions to meet current international targets for disease mitigation. We describe the prevalence, years lived with disability, and trends of anaemia and its underlying causes in 204 countries and territories. Methods: We estimated population-level distributions of haemoglobin concentration by age and sex for each location from 1990 to 2021. We then calculated anaemia burden by severity and associated years lived with disability (YLDs). With data on prevalence of the causes of anaemia and associated cause-specific shifts in haemoglobin concentrations, we modelled the proportion of anaemia attributed to 37 underlying causes for all locations, years, and demographics in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Findings: In 2021, the global prevalence of anaemia across all ages was 24·3% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 23·9–24·7), corresponding to 1·92 billion (1·89–1·95) prevalent cases, compared with a prevalence of 28·2% (27·8–28·5) and 1·50 billion (1·48–1·52) prevalent cases in 1990. Large variations were observed in anaemia burden by age, sex, and geography, with children younger than 5 years, women, and countries in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia being particularly affected. Anaemia caused 52·0 million (35·1–75·1) YLDs in 2021, and the YLD rate due to anaemia declined with increasing Socio-demographic Index. The most common causes of anaemia YLDs in 2021 were dietary iron deficiency (cause-specific anaemia YLD rate per 100 000 population: 422·4 [95% UI 286·1–612·9]), haemoglobinopathies and haemolytic anaemias (89·0 [58·2–123·7]), and other neglected tropical diseases (36·3 [24·4–52·8]), collectively accounting for 84·7% (84·1–85·2) of anaemia YLDs. Interpretation: Anaemia remains a substantial global health challenge, with persistent disparities according to age, sex, and geography. Estimates of cause-specific anaemia burden can be used to design locally relevant health interventions aimed at improving anaemia management and prevention.

Results are presented from an investigation of the mean free path in nuclear emulsion of multiply charged fragments, produced by 1.8A-GeV argon nuclei. Charge identification of 6965 fragments with charges Z2, producing 2192 secondary interactions, has been made. No dependence of the mean free path on the distance from the preceding collision is observed and thus our result is consistent with the nonexistence of anomalons. © 1985 The American Physical Society.

40Ar-emulsion interactions are studied, to investigate the question of anomalons, in two G- 5 emulsion stacks. In about 4600 primary interactions, projectile fragments of Z≧2 for all generations have been followed until they interact or leave the stack. After careful estimation of charges of these fragments, variation of their mean free paths is studied as a function of distance from the preceding interaction. Generation effect, Nh dependence and production angle effect are investigated. In addition multi-chain events are analysed separately. Our results do not show anomalons at the 6% level and are consistent with non-occurrence of anomalons. However, this experiment is not sensitive enough to rule out anomalons (with a mfp of the order of 2 to 3 cm) produced at about 1% (or less) level. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
Solid state synthesis, crystal growth, atomic packing and physicochemical studies of (E)-2-cyano-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide
(Elsevier B.V., 2013) V.K. Gupta; R.N. Rai; S.S.R. Inbanathan; M. Fleck
The organic crystalline species (E)-2-cyano-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide has been synthesized by solid state reaction between 3-hydroxy benzaldehyde (HB) and 2-cyanoacetamide (CA). The molar ratio of HB and CA forming this new organic entity was found to be 1:1, established with the help of phase diagram study and single crystal XRD analysis. The phase diagram established between HB and CA shows the formation of a new compound surrounded by two eutectics on either side of the compound. Thermal properties such as heat of fusion, entropy of fusion, interfacial energy, and excess thermodynamic functions of the title compound and both eutectics are studied and reported, in addition to a DSC study to analyze the thermal behavior. A large and transparent single crystal with dimensions of 19 × 7 × 2 mm3 of this newly synthesized compound was grown from the saturated solution of a mixed solvent, employing the slow cooling technique. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P21/n) with a=9.031(2) Å, b=5.178(2) Å, c=18.330(4) Å, and β=90.86(3)̊ and comprises dimers of symmetry-related molecules, connected to each other via strong O-H ⋯ O bonds. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
