Synthetic route has been developed for the synthesis of new (Z)-5-[4-(2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) methoxy]benzyl-idinethiazolidine-2,4-diones (6a-h) starting from 2-chloro-3-hydroxymethyl quinolines (2a-h). The hydroxy methyl quinolines on tosylation yielded (3a-h). Condensation of the tosyl intermediates with 4-hydroxy benzaldehydes has been carried in DMF in presence of $K_2CO_3$ and obtained 4-quinolinyl methoxy benzaldehydes (4a-h). Conveniently Knoevenagel condensation of quinolinyl methoxy benzaldehydes (4a-h) and 2, 4-thiazolidinedione (5) has been carried in PEG-400 in presence of L-proline and obtained better yields of the titled compounds (6a-h).

Sodium hydrogen sulphate ($NaHSO_4$), n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst (PTC) in water, and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulphate [bmim]$HSO_4$ as ionic liquid (IL) has been used as a mild reaction promoter for the cyclocondensation of formalin, ${\beta}$-naphthol and aromatic amines to afford respective 2,3-dihydro-2-phenyl-1H-naphtho-[1,2-e] [1,3] oxazine derivatives. The present protocols are greener, high yielding and involved the nonchromatographic isolation procedure.

Nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) appeared to exhibit the catalytic activity in one-pot cyclocondensation reaction for the preparation of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones via Biginelli reaction from aromatic/heteroaromatic/aliphatic aldehydes, urea/thiourea and ethyl acetoacetate under microwave irradiation has been described. The UV absorbance spectra showed metallic Ni characteristics and appreciate with the particle size determined by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). After reaction course the Ni NPs can be re-covered and reused without any apparent loss of activity.

Our objective is to model static multi-cracking processes in concrete. The explicit dynamic relaxation (DR) method, which gives the solutions of non-linear static problems on the basis of the steady-state conditions of a critically damped explicit transient solution, is chosen to deal with the high geometric and material non-linearities stemming from such a complex fracture problem. One of the common difficulties of the DR method is its slow convergence rate when non-monotonic spectral response is involved. A modified concept that is distinct from the standard DR method is introduced to tackle this problem. The methodology is validated against the stable three point bending test on notched concrete beams of different sizes. The simulations accurately predict the experimental load-displacement curves. The size effect is caught naturally as a result of the calculation. Micro-cracking and non-uniform crack propagation across the fracture surface also come out directly from the 3D simulations.

Cellulose tosylate(CT) was prepared by reaction of cellulose with p- toluenesulfonylchloride in DMAc/LiCl homogeneous system. In order to study a reversible photoisomerization of disperse red 1(DR-1) attached on natural polymer, cellulose tosylate containing DR-1(DR-1/CT adduct) was prepared at $110^{\circ}C$ in DMAc, and the changes of UV/Vis spectra of its solutions and thick film were investigated by alternate irradiation technique. Form the UV/Vis spectra of DR-1/CT adduct dissolved in cosolvents, such as DMAc, DMAc/THF, DMAc/benzene, and DMAc/chloroform and irradiated with 360 nm and 450 nm ligths, we found out changes of UV/Vis spectra were reversible in all solvents systems and we found out changes of UV/Vis spectra were reversible at thick film, also.

Diabetic retinopathy is a threatening complication of diabetes, caused by damaged blood vessels of light sensitive areas of retina. DR leads to total or partial blindness if left untreated. DR does not give any symptoms at early stages so earlier detection of DR is a big challenge for proper treatment of diseases. With advancement of technology various computer-aided diagnostic programs using image processing and machine learning approaches are designed for early detection of DR so that proper treatment can be provided to the patients for preventing its harmful effects. Now a day machine learning techniques are widely applied for image processing. These techniques also provide amazing result in this field also. In this paper we discuss various machine learning and deep learning based techniques developed for automatic detection of Diabetic Retinopathy.

We have described an efficient synthesis of quino[2,3-b][1,5]benzoxazepine α-aminophosphonate derivatives by the nucleophilic addition of triethyl phosphite to substituted quino[2,3-b][1,5]benzoxazepines promoted by easily available, inexpensive and mild catalyst KAl(S$O_4)_2{\cdot}12H_2$O(alum). The reactions proceed smoothly at room temperature under solvent-free reaction conditions and providing high yield of product in very short reaction time.

Various heterodimers of the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) with other nuclear hormone receptors confer a wide range of transcriptional activities on thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) in the presence of the thyroid hormone ($T_3$). The present study analyzed the potential roles of retinoid X receptor (RXR) isoforms $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in $T_3$-mediated transcription on a well characterized TRE, a direct repeat of AGGTCA separated by four nucleo-tides (DR4), using electrophoretic mobility shift assays and transient transfection in CV-1 cells. We demonstrated that RXR$\alpha$ supressed liganded $TR_{\alpha}$-induced transcription while $RXR_{\beta}$ did not although both $TR_{\alpha}/RXR_{\alpha}$ and $TR_{\alpha}/RXR_{\beta}$ heterodimers were the predominant forms bound to the TRE-DR4 in the presence of $T_3$. We further demonstrated using Scatchard analysis that the two heterodimers had similar affinities for the TRE-DR4. All these observations suggest that the TRE-DR4 accomodates different types of TR/RXR heterodimers for a more finely tuned transcriptional response to $T_3$.
