چکیده

This paper discusses about the relevance of detecting space radiations which are very harmful and pose numerous health issues for astronauts. There are many ways to detect radiations, but we present a non-invasive way of detecting them in real-time while an astronaut is in the mission. All Terrain Bio-nano (ATB) gear system is one such concept where we propose to detect various levels of space radiations depending on their intensity and warn the astronaut of probable biological damage. A basic framework for radiation detection system which utilizes bio-nano machines is discussed. This radiation detection system is termed as “radiation-responsive molecular assembly” (RMA) for the detection of space radiations. Our objective is to create a device which could detect space radiations by creating an environment equivalent to human cells within its structure and bio-chemically sensing the effects induced therein. For creating such an environment and further bio-chemically sensing space radiations bio-nano systems could be potentially used. These bio-nano systems could interact with radiations and signal based on the intensity of the radiations their relative biological effectiveness. Based on the energy and kind of radiation encountered, a matrix of signals has to be created which corresponds to a particular biological effect. The key advantage of such a design is its ability to interact with the radiation at e molecular scale; characterize its intensity based on energy deposition and relate it to the relative biological effectiveness based on the correspondence established through molecular structures and bond strengths of the bio-nano system.

Comparison of the performance of plant nano-hydrogels as bio-filters for nitrite uptake from effluent of fish farms

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of plant nano-gels as a new adsorbent and to remove nitrite at low cost. At first, plant nano-gels (nano bagasse, chitosan-functionalized nano-fiber and lignocellulose nano-fiber) were prepared by mechanical and top-down mechanism. Batch system medium was designed to measure the adsorbent optimum. Then isotherm and synthetic were calculated ...

Influence of Addendum Modification Factor on Root Stresses in Normal Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears

Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...
