In this work, synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles has been carried out using laser ablation methods and the nanoparticles were applied as antibacterial agent against gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis. Experimentally, Nanoparticle synthesis was carried out using laser ablation with a power of 40 mJ. Antibacterial test with disc diffusion test using disc paper soaked in 0.1% chitosan solution (negative control), sodium hypochlorite (positive control), and copper oxide nanoparticles with a concentration of 60 ppm, 80 ppm, 100 ppm; then put into a petri dish that has been planted with the Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. Copper oxide nanoparticles were formed in chitosan as confirmed by UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM and EDX analysis. Post Hoc Tukey HSD analysis showed a significant difference in the negative control group, and the inhibition zone diameter of the treatment group was the same. The synthesis of nanoparticles using laser ablation fired at a pure copper plate succeeded in producing copper oxide nanoparticles in chitosan solvent. The firing time affects the concentration and size of the nanoparticles. More laser energy is required to produce a smaller particle size due to its antibacterial activity.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41608639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a mathematical homogenization technique, the global properties of the phantom are given in terms of the volume fractions of its components, their geometric shapes and physical properties. We explore these parameters to determine ranges that yield the desirable values of acoustic impedance and attenuation. The procedure is illustrated for a class of sandwich-like phantoms made of layers of agar of different concentrations with complex elastic moduli. In this example, homogenization provides analytical formulae of the global properties that can be used to identify the layers’ thicknesses and concentrations that yield a low impedance and an average attenuation coefficient. These analytical results are compared with a numerical homogenization method, showing excellent agreement.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46142507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Join Idle Queue (JIQ) algorithm is ideally suited for load balancing in a distributed setup. It attains fast response time by directing service requests to idle servers which can immediately process them. However, JIQ is not optimal in tracking idle servers leaving room for improvement. \u0000Methods: We observed that JIQ assigns idle servers non-uniformly to load balancers leaving some load balancers with no access to idle servers. We propose a variant of the JIQ algorithm, Join Idle Queue Dispatcher I-queue Optimization (JIQ-DIO), which increases the probability of load balancers having access to idle servers without additional communication overhead leading to improved response time. \u0000Findings: We simulated JIQ-DIO on CloudSim Plus 3.0 and compared it with standard JIQ and its different variants. JIQ-DIO was found to increase the probability of incoming requests being directed to idle servers and lead to more than two-fold improvement in response time across a broad range of parameters.","PeriodicalId":15073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41518972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improved and efficient methods of weather prediction are needed to overcome these difficulties.

The potential of the proposed algorithm lies in its ability to accurately detect, track and produce firing commands on the designated target while utilizing low cost on the shelf embedded Microcontroller boards. A low cost Universal Serial Port (USB) camera is used and integrated with the proposed algorithm in order to detect and track maneuvering targets.
