In this work, flexible plasticized starch/graphene oxide (PS/GO) nanocomposites are synthesized by a simple and economic solution cast technique. The structural and surface morphological study of the nanocomposite demonstrates an increased degree of interaction between PS and GO which in turn improves the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the nanocomposite. The influence of GO loading on the capacitive performance of the nanocomposite was evaluated by studying the electrochemical properties. The PS/GO nanocomposite showed an improved capacitive behavior with a specific capacitance of 115 F/g compared to that of pure starch (2.20 F/g) and GO (10.42 F/g) at a current density 0.1 mA/cm2. The electrochemical impedance analysis indicates that the incorporation of GO enhances the conductivity of the nanocomposite in the charge transfer resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interface due to the incorporation of GO. The large surface areas provided by the GO sheets allow faster transport of charge carriers into the electrode and improve the electrochemical properties of the PS/GO nanocomposite. Considering the simplicity and effectiveness of the synthesis proses, the result indicates that the PS/GO nanocomposite could be a potential alternative for bio-friendly, flexible energy-storage applications.The current study demonstrates the synthesis of coumarin-triazole hybrids 8 (a-e) in four steps starting from substituted salicylaldehyde 1 (a-e), and diethyl malonate 2. The spectroscopic studies provide the structure proofs of the new compounds, and the molecular structure of an intermediate 3a by crystallographic studies. The crystal structure analysis revealed the C-H...O, C-H... π, C-O...π and π...π molecular interactions. Further, the intermolecular interactions were quantified using Hirshfeld surface analysis and the DFT method B3LYP functional with 6-311++ G (d,p) basis set was employed to optimize the molecular geometry. The synthesized new coumarin-triazole hybrids, 8 (a-e) were screened for their α-amylase inhibitory potentials, and the results suggest that amongst the series, compounds 8c, and 8e show the promising inhibition of the enzyme, and might act as lead molecules for anti-diabetic activities.

In this work, raw chicken eggshell was modified by boiling and calcination at 900 °C for 3 h. The x-ray diffraction characterization revealed that while the proportion of CaCO3 in the raw and boiled samples was found to be 79.3 % and 99.2 % respectively, the CaCO3 had been converted to 63.8 % CaO and CO2 in the calcined sample. This was due to the thermal decomposition during calcination. The outcome of the infrared spectroscopy showed that the raw and boiled chicken eggshell presented a similar absorption profile with peaks at 1 394 cm-1, 873 cm-1, and 712 cm-1, which were as a result of the presence of asymmetric stretch, out-of-plane bend, and in-plane bend vibration modes. The major peaks presented by the calcined sample at 3642 cm-1 can be attributed to the OAH stretching vibration and bending hydroxyl groups present in Ca(OH)2. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas for the raw, boiled and calcined chicken eggshell were found to be 2.33 m2/g, 3.26 m2/g, and 4.6 m2/g respectively, indicating increased catalytic activity of the calcined sample. Overall, boiling was found to have a negligible effect on the chicken eggshell, while high-temperature calcination greatly affected the pore size, surface area, composition, and thermal decomposition profile of the chicken eggshell sample.From Jan. 6, 2019 to Feb. 18, 2019, OSIRIS-REx observed asteroid (101955) Bennu ejecting 11 plumes of dust, of which part is escaping and another part is re-captured by the asteroid. The relative magnitudes of the typical forces acting on the emitted dust are quite different from the environments of the planets and other minor planets in the solar system. Here we show that ejected dust grains from the surface of Bennu can be caught in the gravitational field of Bennu. To this end, we calculated numerically the trajectories of dust grains of various sizes, from the 0.1μm to the ten millimeter range. The shape and the fate of an emitted cloud of particles depend on the size of the grains smaller grains form a more narrowly confined dust trail while trails formed by larger grains disperse more rapidly. Four different fates are possible for ejected dust. All grains with radius less than 1.0μm, directly re-impact on Bennu or they escape directly. In contrast, a fraction of grains with a radius larger than 10.0 μm will impact or escape only after performing a number of non-Keplerian revolutions around Bennu. Our findings show how dust grains may populate the vicinity of Bennu and other active asteroids and that they can reach interplanetary space and other celestial bodies, implying that organic matter can be transported from carbonaceous asteroids to other celestial bodies, including Earth.Observations of communication service providers (CSPs) over the past five years have revealed that text services have reduced radically by around 75%, followed by voice services and the average revenue per user (ARPU). This condition signifies that telecommunications companies are being affected by digital disruption. A fundamental analysis of current business processes is thus necessary for future telecommunications success. In the area of corporate strategic management, studies on conversion of the Internet of Things (IoT)-based industry as a new customer are gaining popularity. This research analyzes the breakthrough operational activities through a customer-centric approach as well as end-to-end CSP business activities towards a new customer reconciliation model. The customer-centric activities address problem to solution and complaint to solution. In the future, CSPs are expected to have large numbers of newly registered customers from IoT-based industries. The strategic mechanism for transforming leaps from old business processes into new ones is a novel research subject using the business process management (BPM) method.
