Temporal Dynamics and Trend Analysis of Areal Rainfall in Muger Subwatershed, Upper Blue Nile, Ethiopia by Alene Moshe, Manamno Beza

“…This study was employed to investigate the temporal variability and trend analysis of areal rainfall in the Muger subwatershed, Upper Blue Nile, Ethiopia. The study was run over the following procedures to handle the main objective: (1) determining the areal rainfall from gauged point rainfall using the Thiessen polygon method, (2) grouping the months in the season according to the study area, (3) evaluating the temporal dynamics of annual and seasonal areal rainfall using the coefficient of variation (CV), standard anomaly index (SAI), and precipitation concentration index (PCI), and (4) analyzing the trend of annual and seasonal areal rainfall using modified Mann–Kendall’s (modifiedmk) test in RStudio. …”

Optimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction Method for Increased Extraction Yield and Total Phenol Content from Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) var. PKM 1 by Sandeep Gunalan, Arumugam Thangaiah, Janavi Gnanaguru Janaki, Anitha Thiyagarajan, Senthil Kuppusamy, Lakshmanan Arunachalam

“…The main aim of this experimental trial is to optimize three independent factors including power (500 W–700 W), temperature (30°C–50°C), and extraction time (20 min–40 min) consisting of two levels of dependent variables such as extraction yield (EY) and total phenol content (TPC) using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) constructed by Central Composite Design (CCD) with 20 trial runs. The optimized extraction method recorded 14.64 to 17.65% of extraction yield and 63.36 to 76.40 mg GA/gram of total phenol content. …”

Measurement of the inclusive isolated-photon production cross section in pp collisions at $$\mathbf {\sqrt{\textit{s}}=13}$$ s = 13  TeV by ALICE Collaboration

“…Abstract The production cross section of inclusive isolated photons has been measured by the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in pp collisions at centre-of-momentum energy of $$\sqrt{s} =13$$ s = 13  TeV collected during the LHC Run 2 data-taking period. The measurement is performed by combining the measurements of the electromagnetic calorimeter EMCal and the central tracking detectors ITS and TPC, covering a pseudorapidity range of $$|\eta ^{\gamma }|<0.67$$ | η γ | < 0.67 and a transverse momentum range of $$7<p_\textrm{T}^{\gamma } <200~$$ 7 < p T γ < 200 GeV/ $$c$$ c . …”
