AbstractAbstract
[en] Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms which can arise from almost any location in the body. Diagnosing them pre-operatively is difficult as they mimic features of other hepatic neoplasms including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), fibrolamellar HCC, and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) among others. The unique feature of these tumors is the coexpression of muscle and melanocytic markers. These are identified immunohistochemically by the expression of Human Melanin Black-45 (HMB-45), Melan-A and Smooth Muscle Antigen (SMA) which are seen in the majority of tumors. The liver is uncommonly associated with a PEComa and the approach to a patient with hepatic PEComa is not well described. There is no consensus regarding the neo-adjuvant/adjuvant therapy in these patients. The natural history of this condition is not well documented making it an unpredictable disease. Here we have discussed a case and reviewed the literature concerning these rare tumors.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: ► The optimum conditions are different for efficiency and power conditions. ► The current model works up to a maximum separator temperature of 150 °C. ► The turbine concentration influences the high pressure. ► High solar beam radiation and optimized cycle conditions give low collector cost. -- Abstract: During the heat recovery in a Kalina cycle, a binary aqua–ammonia mixture changes its state from liquid to vapor, the more volatile ammonia vaporizes first and then the water starts vaporization to match temperature profile of the hot fluid. In the present work, a low temperature Kalina cycle has been investigated to optimize the heat recovery from solar thermal collectors. Hot fluid coming from solar parabolic trough collector with vacuum tubes is used to generate ammonia rich vapor in a boiler for power generation. The turbine inlet conditions are optimized to match the variable hot fluid temperature with the intermittent nature of the solar radiation. The key parameters discussed in this study are strong solution concentration, separator temperature which affects the hot fluid inlet temperature and turbine ammonia concentration. Solar parabolic collector system with vacuum tubes has been designed at the optimized power plant conditions. This work can be used in the selection of boiler, separator and turbine conditions to maximize the power output as well as efficiency of power generation system. The current model results a maximum limit temperature for separator as 150 °C at the Indian climatic conditions. A maximum specific power of 105 kW per kg/s of working fluid can be obtained at 80% of strong solution concentration with 140 °C separator temperature. The corresponding plant and cycle efficiencies are 5.25% and 13% respectively. But the maximum efficiencies of 6% and 15% can be obtained respectively for plant and Kalina cycle at 150 °C of separator temperature.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Two-dimensional photonic crystal can be exploited as the top part of a light source in order to increase its extraction efficiency. Here, we report on the room-temperature intrinsic photoluminescence (PL) behavior of a nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layer with diamond columns prepared on the top and periodically ordered into the lattice with square symmetry. Angle-resolved far-field measurements in the Γ-X crystal direction of broadband visible PL revealed up to six-fold enhancement of extraction efficiency as compared to a smooth NCD layer. A photonic band diagram above the lightcone derived from these measurements is in agreement with the diagram obtained from transmission measurements and simulation, suggesting that the enhancement is primarily due to light's coupling to leaky modes.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Self-powered photodetectors have been fabricated from a single germanium nanowire (NW) in the metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) device configuration. The self-powered devices show a high photoresponse (responsivity ∼ 103–105 A W−1) in the wavelength range 300–1100 nm. It has been established from I–V characteristics that asymmetry exists in the Schottky barrier height (SBH) at the two MS contacts. We have used simulation to establish that the asymmetric SBH at the metal contacts in an MSM device is a major cause for the ‘built-in’ axial field that leads to separation of a light generated electron–hole pair in the absence of an applied bias. Thus, even in the absence of external bias, the photogenerated carriers can be separated, which then diffuse to the appropriate electrodes driven by the ‘built-in’ axial field. We also point out the physical origins that can lead to unequal barrier heights in seemingly identical NW/metal junctions in a MSM device. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] An integrated study of health risk assessment, pollution indices and cluster analysis has been carried out to assess the pollution and heavy metal sources in the groundwater. Certain elements analyzed exceed the prescribed limits of WHO standard. Health risk index reveals risk of toxicity through oral pathways is less, as almost all trace elements are < 1. The distribution pattern of heavy metal pollution index, heavy metal evaluation index and degree of contamination indicates the pollution is due to urban activities. Sources were determined by cluster analysis, and it resulted in three clusters.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The inclined magnetic field effect on the boundary layer flow of a Casson model non-Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet in the existence of thermal radiation and velocity slip boundary condition is investigated for both prescribed surface temperature and power law of surface heat flux cases. It is assumed that the magnetic field is applied with an aligned angle which varied from 0° to 90°. Both analytical and numerical solutions are obtained for the transformed non-dimensional ODE's using confluent hypergeometric function and fourth order Runge–Kutta method with shooting technique respectively. The combined effects of inclined magnetic field with other pertinent parameters such as Casson parameter, velocity slip parameter, radiation parameter and Prandtl number on velocity profile, temperature profile, local skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and non-dimensional wall temperature are discussed through graphs. It is found that the aligned angle plays a vital role in controlling the magnetic field strength on the Casson fluid flow region and the increasing values of aligned angle of the magnetic field lead to decrease the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number and increase the non-dimensional wall temperature. - Highlights: • Casson fluid flow in the presence of inclined magnetic field is investigated for the first time. • Aligned angle controls the magnetic field strength on the boundary layer flow region. • The direction of Lorentz force changes according to aligned angle. • An excellent agreement is observed between present analytical and numerical results.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The nature of groundwater recharge along the mountain front (MF) and riparian zone (RZ) was discerned by multiple tools involving rain/water level relationship, geophysical of subsurface, seasonal hydrochemistry and environmental isotopic signatures. The proposed study has been carried out in Courtallam Hills, the north-western part of Tirunelveli District, South India. The study area is a hilly terrain with narrow valleys endowed with steep slopes. The relationship between water-level fluctuation and precipitation were evaluated by observing daily water level in 8-h interval at three piezometer zones and regular rainfall data. It was inferred that the RZ played a role in storage zone and gets recharged from mountain block (MB) and lateral flow. The seasonal geochemistry of the groundwater was studied to determine the sources of recharge in MF and RZ. Geostatistical treatment of factor analysis revealed that weathering was the dominant recharge process along the foothill. The geophysical studies reveal good quality of groundwater observed in the northern part along with low conductance and high resistivity. The increased level of groundwater conductivity and lower resistivity was noted in southern part of the study area due to the irrigation activities. The isotopic tracers range from − 2.5 to − 12.6‰ for δ18O and from − 91.2 to − 15.5‰ for δ2H. Moreover, the groundwater recharge was evaluated by source of rainfall moisture. High-altitude recharge from MB along the MF was clearly indicated by depleted isotopic content of the water samples. It was also supported by hydrogeochemical and statistical evidences, showing that rainfall over both MB and MF zones provided the recharge to foothill aquifers, while the RZ zone was mainly recharged by local precipitation with less contribution from regional flows.
