In relaxor (1-x)SrTiO3-xBiFeO3 ferroelectrics ceramics (x = 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) both intermediate temperatures and Burns temperatures were successfully detected and their behavior were investigated in dependence on an external bias field using an acoustic emission. All these temperatures exhibit a non-trivial behavior, i.e. attain the minima at some threshold fields as a bias field enhances. It is established that the threshold fields decrease as x increases in (1-x)SrTiO3-xBiFeO3, as it previously observed in (1-x)SrTiO3-xBaTiO3 (E. Dul'kin, J. Zhai, M. Roth, Phys. Status Solidi B 252, 2079 (2015)). Based on the data of the threshold fields the mechanisms of arising of random electric fields are discussed and their strengths are compared in both these relaxor ferroelectrics.

Tunable Absorber

Background: Advancement in wireless communication technology has raised today’s living standards but consequently leads to the problems of electromagnetic (EM) air pollution as well as spectrum congestion particularly in radio frequency band. To overcome traffic congestion problem in lower bands, terahertz frequency bands are explored but EM pollution still persists as global issue which can be addressed by a tunable microwave absorber. At THz frequencies, 2-D nanostructured graphene has been observed to be less lossy than using other materials and further finds its most interesting applications on account of the plasmonic mode supported by graphene resulting in extreme device miniaturization. At micro and mm-waves graphene is resistive hence can be electronically controlled, ensuring its suitability for the design of tunable microwave absorber. Objective: Designing of a frequency reconfigurable or frequency tunable absorber is the prime objective of current work. Two-dimensional graphene absorber has been proposed here having inherent bandgap tunability property which means the electromagnetic properties of graphene can be controlled via varying external bias potential. Methods: The numerical modelling of graphene microwave absorber utilizing bulk graphene backed by glass and perfect electric conductor layer is reported in this paper. Finite element Method (FEM) based high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) platform is used to simulate the graphene absorber model. The whole structure is placed into a rectangular waveguide with two ports for absorber excitation. Results: The variation of electromagnetic properties of graphene absorber is achieved by changing bias potential and further the absorption tunability for the designed absorber is investigated in the range from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. From reflection coefficient curves, it is authenticated that -72.6 dB reflection coefficient dip has been obtained at 14 GHz for 5 volt bias potential which shifts to higher side of frequency as the potential changes from 5 volts to 25 volts. Conclusion: The results show that by increasing bias potential, absorption coefficient shifts to higher frequency and proves to be a tunable wideband absorber whose resonant frequency can changed from one value to another without changing thickness or material properties of absorber thus can effectively incorporate with antenna substrate or surface of radar.

Mitochondrial Superoxide Dismutase

Background: Cardiac hypertrophy involves marked wall thickening or chamber enlargement. If sustained, this condition will lead to dysfunctional mitochondria and oxidative stress. Mitochondria have ATP-sensitive K+ channels (mitoKATP) in the inner membrane that modulate the redox status of the cell. Objective: We investigated the in vivo effects of mitoKATP opening on oxidative stress in isoproterenol- induced cardiac hypertrophy. Methods: Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in Swiss mice treated intraperitoneally with isoproterenol (ISO - 30 mg/kg/day) for 8 days. From day 4, diazoxide (DZX - 5 mg/kg/day) was used in order to open mitoKATP (a clinically relevant therapy scheme) and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD - 5 mg/kg/day) or glibenclamide (GLI - 3 mg/kg/day) were used as mitoKATP blockers. Results: Isoproterenol-treated mice had elevated heart weight/tibia length ratios (HW/TL). Additionally, hypertrophic hearts had elevated levels of carbonylated proteins and Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS), markers of protein and lipid oxidation. In contrast, mitoKATP opening with DZX avoided ISO effects on gross hypertrophic markers (HW/TL), carbonylated proteins and TBARS, in a manner reversed by 5HD and GLI. Moreover, DZX improved mitochondrial superoxide dismutase activity. This effect was also blocked by 5HD and GLI. Additionally, ex vivo treatment of isoproterenol- induced hypertrophic cardiac tissue with DZX decreased H2O2 production in a manner sensitive to 5HD, indicating that this drug also acutely avoids oxidative stress. Conclusion: Our results suggest that diazoxide blocks oxidative stress and reverses cardiac hypertrophy. This pharmacological intervention could be a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent oxidative stress associated with cardiac hypertrophy.

AbstractIncreasing demand for self-powered wearable sensors has spurred an urgent need to develop energy harvesting systems that can reliably and sufficiently power these devices. Within the last decade, reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric (REWOD)-based mechanical motion energy harvesting has been developed, where an electrolyte is modulated (repeatedly squeezed) between two dissimilar electrodes under an externally applied mechanical force to generate an AC current. In this work, we explored various combinations of electrolyte concentrations, dielectrics, and dielectric thicknesses to generate maximum output power employing REWOD energy harvester. With the objective of implementing a fully self-powered wearable sensor, a “zero applied-bias-voltage” approach was adopted. Three different concentrations of sodium chloride aqueous solutions (NaCl-0.1 M, NaCl-0.5 M, and NaCl-1.0 M) were used as electrolytes. Likewise, electrodes were fabricated with three different dielectric thicknesses (100 nm, 150 nm, and 200 nm) of Al2O3 and SiO2 with an additional layer of CYTOP for surface hydrophobicity. The REWOD energy harvester and its electrode–electrolyte layers were modeled using lumped components that include a resistor, a capacitor, and a current source representing the harvester. Without using any external bias voltage, AC current generation with a power density of 53.3 nW/cm2 was demonstrated at an external excitation frequency of 3 Hz with an optimal external load. The experimental results were analytically verified using the derived theoretical model. Superior performance of the harvester in terms of the figure-of-merit comparing previously reported works is demonstrated. The novelty of this work lies in the combination of an analytical modeling method and experimental validation that together can be used to increase the REWOD harvested power extensively without requiring any external bias voltage.
