SMEs in developing countries play a significant role in overall economic growth. However, their growth is often hindered by limited access to credit, as it plays a vital role in shaping the performance of SMEs. Therefore, the primary purpose of the study is to analyse the determinants affecting SMEs' credit availability based on the World Bank Enterprise Survey data. The study used a probit regression model on a sample of 2771 Indian manufacturing SMEs to examine the various determinants that...
Groundwater is a vital source of freshwater, playing a crucial role in agriculture and economic development. Accurate groundwater level (GWL) prediction is essential for sustainable water resource management. As soft computational data-driven technologies have advanced in recent years, numerous machine learning models have been created and are being used for GWL forecasting. ML models are more desirable than physically based and numerical methods because they can simulate and predict GWL with...

Fractional quantum mechanics extends conventional quantum theory by introducing fractional calculus, offering a powerful framework to explore nonlocal and anomalous diffusion effects in quantum systems. In this work, we propose the development of fractional quantum gates by applying the principles of fractional quantum mechanics. Fractional quantum gates are very useful for faster computation as fractional gates are reducing the circuit depth of quantum workload. We develop the mathematical f...
Surfactants, commonly present in greywater from domestic sources such as showers and washing machines, represent a significant emerging contaminant that poses risks to water quality and ecosystem health. Their extensive application in cleaning products raises important environmental and public health issues. This study investigates the potential of Jamun leaf (JL) powder as a natural coagulant for removing surfactants from synthetic Wastewater. Controlled experiments were carried out using a ...
Compared to bulk water, confined water exhibits unique properties, making it particularly fascinating to study, especially in terms of phase transitions. Investigating confined water systems holds significant importance for various reasons, including gaining insights into biological processes. Additionally, free energy calculations during phase transitions are crucial for understanding chemical and biochemical phenomena such as macromolecular stability, protein folding, molecular solvation, a...
This study empirically investigates the impact of intellectual property rights protection on Indian bilateral emigration and inward FDI stock using a balanced panel dataset considering India as a reporting country with 71 partner countries for the period 2007-2023. The empirical estimation of the study employs both the single equation model technique, such as the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator, and the simultaneous equations model technique, such as the three-stage least squares ...
We introduce two uncertainty measures, say weighted past varentropy (WPVE) and weighted paired dynamic varentropy (WPDVE). Several properties of these proposed measures are studied. In addition, the non-parametric kernel estimates of the WPVE and WPDVE are proposed. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood estimation technique is employed to estimate WPVE and WPDVE for an exponential population. The performance of the non-parametric and parametric estimators of the WPVE and WPDVE is compared in te...
Rice is grown extensively in many parts of the world at different times of the year under different climatic conditions. Rice is the most essential cereal crop that forms a major part of the human diet and is hence popularly called "Global grain". With the increasing trend of the rising human population, it’s high time to have crops with high yield potential and stability. Making the rice-based production system sustainable is crucial for the future food security of mankind. Rice blast is one...
Vitamin D3 deficiency is now considered to be a global issue. Last few years, Vitamin D3 testing has exponentially increased in recent years by using old conventional methods. In this study, we developed a carbon dot (CDs)--based biosensor for easy and hassle-free detection of Vitamin D3 in food samples. It has very stable physiochemical properties and outstanding optical characteristics. A simple one-step hydrothermal green synthesis has been used to fabricate the biosensor by using i.e., Be...
Introduction Hydrogels are 3D polymeric networks that can swell in the aqueous medium. Because of their water-absorbing capacity, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility, they have applications in bioengineering, drug delivery and separation processes. The gel matrix has the property to govern the diffusion of foreign particles within its network. So, it is vital to understand the parameters that affect solute diffusion as they have applications in many fields. In the present study, acrylamide-co-...
Introduction Hydrogels are special type of soft materials having biomimetic and biocompatibility properties due to their three dimensional porous network structure and large water content. So they have gathered much attention for their applicability especially in the field of tissue engineering and drug delivery. However, most hydrogels are mechanically weak which limits their applications requiring toughness. Recent research shows, some specifically designed double network (DN) hydrogels, sh...
Millet analogue rice was made from pearl millet, sorghum, and parboiled rice using extrusion technology. The impact of extrusion process conditions in terms of screw speed (540- 900 rpm), feed rate (5- 9 kg/h), and die temperature (80- 100◦C) and materials moisture content (28- 32 %wb) on cooking characteristics viz. water absorption ratio (WAR), cooking losses (CL) and cooking time (CT), and physiochemical properties viz. water solubility index (WSI) and water absorption index (WAI) were ass...
This study presents a sustainable biorefinery approach using banana peel, a lignocellulosic biowaste, to extract pectin (11%) and lignin (5%). Structural characterization (FTIR, SEM, XRD) confirmed their chemical and surface properties. The extracted lignin was used to develop biochar for textile wastewater adsorption, analyzed via BET, FESEM, FTIR, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. Adsorption efficiency was tested under varying conditions. Additionally, a biocomposite film incorporating sodium al...
This paper investigates the average bit error rate (BER) of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system under Nakagami-m fading. The base station communicates binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) data with the near and far users through an RIS unit enabled with discrete phase shifter elements. The total number of RIS elements is divided into two parts, each supporting an individual user. We use generalized-K and mixture gamma-based app...
The Burnside-Butler susceptibility area, a microdeletion region in 15q11.2 BP1-BP2, is linked to neurodegenerative disorders. The four conserved, non-imprinted protein-coding genes in this region are TUBGCP5, CYFIP1, NIPA1, and NIPA2. This study aims to investigate the interaction of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with the mRNAs of four genes in the microdeletion area and their probable function to better understand the pathogenic effects when deleted. In-silico study was done by intersecting th...
Background: Recent studies have reported that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are inevitable for the functioning of cellular transcriptome. They are classified as the regulatory noncoding RNAs spanning throughout the genome. They take part most of the cellular functions through interacting with RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs). As the Genome wide association studies (GWAS) report suggested, most of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reside within the noncoding region of the genome, from wher...
