Fermented beverages have high expression in the market for beverages and many health benefits obtained from them. Commercially, fermented beverages are produced by the fermentation yeast which involves the conversion of sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Under this study, “Studies on fermented beverages and storage behavior of rose petal and kalmegh” was made with the objectives of getting a high quality of nutrients. The physical and biochemical parameters of fresh beverage were determined. The total soluble solids of Rose petal and Kalmegh obtained were 4.25 oBrix and 5.06 oBrix. The fermented beverages of 12 treatments and 3 replication with different combination of Rose petal and Kalmegh: T1 (100g Rose), T2 (100g kalmegh), T3 (95g rose +5g kalmegh), T4 (90g Rose + 5g kalmegh), T5 (85g Rose + 5g kalmegh), T6 (80g Rose + 5g kalmegh), T7 (75g Rose + 5g kalmegh), T8 (95g Rose + 10 g kalmegh), T9 (90g Rose + 10g kalmegh), T10 (85g Rose + 10g Kalmegh), T11 (80g Rose + 10g kalmegh) and T12 (75g Rose + 10g kalmegh) . The 12 treatments combination were analysed for the Alcohol content, TSS, TS, RS, NRS, Titrable acidity, PH, Anthocyanin, Ascorbic acid, and Phenol both in freshly and aged fermented beverage (6 months of storage). The result obtained showed that content of alcohol varied between (1.79% - 2.12%), TSS (5.80 oBrix-5.87oBrix), TS (2.47%-3.39%), RS (1.51%-2.51%), NRS (1.05%-1.24%), Titrable acidity (1.11%-1.28%), PH (3.97- 4.07) , Anthocyanin (0.29mg/100ml – 0.44mg/100ml), Ascorbic acid (8.28mg/100ml -8.72mg/100ml), Phenol (98.03mg/100ml – 111.49mg/100ml) in the freshly fermented beverages while after 6 month of storage the content of alcohol varied between (4.49% - 4.80%), TSS (4.07 oBrix-4.67oBrix), TS (1.59%-2.68%), RS (1.32%-1.83%), NRS (0.46%-0.80%), Titrable acidity (0.90%-0.98%), PH (4.16- 4.37) , Anthocyanin (0.29mg/100ml – 0.31mg/100ml), Ascorbic acid (7.02mg/100ml -8.16mg/100ml), Phenol (31.70mg/100ml – 34.15mg/100ml) Based on the organoleptic score of the treatments, T6 scored the best with the value of 4.21 which were more acceptable by the panel list followed by T1 and T10 with 3.88 and 3.50 respectively.

Abstract This study examines the ergative marking system in Changki, a dialect of the Ao language of Nagaland, India. Changki exhibits an ergative-absolutive pattern but is not strictly an ergative-absolutive language. The ergative marker -nə́ on A arguments of transitive verbs is obligatory in some constructions, while it is non-obligatory in others. The primary goal is to examine the factors determining obligatory and non-obligatory ergative marking and their functions in Changki. The study shows that animacy, discourse-pragmatic factors, and high agency verbs determine the ergative marking. Furthermore, ergative may also appear with S arguments of unergative verbs if the action is performed deliberately or purposely, but not with S arguments of unaccusative verbs. The use of ergative has multiple functions, such as providing agency to the inanimate subjects, focusing the agent/actor in a discourse, and highlighting the agency of the agent. This study will enhance the understanding of non-obligatory ergative systems in Naga, in particular, and Tibeto-Burman languages as a whole.

Nowadays, the demand for green concrete has increased due to the greenhouse gas emissions and uncontrolled pollution from the cement industry. At the same time, the green concrete should exhibit better mechanical properties and durability characteristics when replacing conventional concrete without compromising on the fresh properties. A better solution for the production of green concrete is to use air cured Alkali Activated Slag (AAS) composites, an innovative and sustainable binding material with very low carbon footprint. However, AAS exhibits demerits such as quick setting and poor workability and this demands the use of superplasticizers in such binder systems which are less explored thus far. Hence, this paper presents a study on the influence of superplasticizer type on the fresh and strength properties of AAS mortar. Paste/mortars were prepared with alkali activators composed of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide and tested to study the setting times, workability, and evolution of compressive strength. It is found that the fresh properties are improved by increasing the alkali to binder ratio and the dosage of superplasticizer. Both sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) and polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based admixtures were found to be effective in alleviating the negatives of air cured alkali activated paste/mortar systems.

X-ray diffraction and fluorescence of whispering galleries (WGs) which propagate along meniscuses of deionized water or silica hydrosols enriched by CsOH have been analyzed for the first time. The measurements have been performed using the diffractometer with a moving tube-detector system. The X-ray beam rotation angle reached a maximum value of 4° on a silica hydrosol sample. The WG mode propagating near the surface of a concave meniscus as well as the fluorescence intensity have been found from a solution of the respective Helmholtz equations. For analysis of intensities of the X-ray scattering and fluorescence we have used a two-layer model of the liquid with the upper non-uniform corrugated layer in which the concentration of levitating Cs+ ions near the surface has a maximum derived from the experiment in the hydrosol depth of ~ 15 nm for SiO2 particle sizes of ~ 5÷7 nm. In order to determine the fluorescence intensity we have used the approach based on a method of fundamental parameters using the reciprocity theorem.

One of the most characterizing aspects of the “new” political and legal landscape born from the so called “1989 divide” is the emergence of a form of international political morality based on universal principles that challenge the presumed moral supremacy of territorial boundaries and which favour instead the welfare of humanity generally. Moving from recent theory and practice of “humanitarian interventionism”, this essay aims at discussing some of the main conceptions of “global humanitarian space” elaborated in contemporary debate on the new political and legal order of the “global age”.

Novel Diamond-like Nanocomposite (DLN) thin film as Anti-Reflective Nanocomposite Based (ARNAB) coating for crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell is the main objective of this paper. The DLN film was deposited by plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD) method and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, field emission scanning electron microscope, and high resolution transmission emission microscope. Results show that c-Si3N4 and c-SiC nanoparticle (3–5 nm) were embedded in a-C:H matrix, and they were interpenetrated by Si-C bonding, i.e., typical DLN structure. The optical properties of the film were investigated by UV-VIS-near-infrared and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The performance of ARNAB coating was evaluated by measuring the reflectance, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and conversion efficiency. The solar weighted average reflection from textured c-Si was reduced to 2.25% in wavelength range 300 nm–1100 nm, and more than 90% EQE of the solar cell was achieved within the broad wavelength range 560 nm–870 nm. The result has been also compared with conventional silicon nitride anti-reflection coating (ARC). Finally, 0.8% absolute increased of efficiency was achieved with ARNAB layer in comparison with silicon nitride AR coating. The ARNAB thin film has a great potential to be used as ARC for silicon based solar cell.
