TL;DR: In this review, the MEL producing microorganisms, the production conditions, their applications, their diverse structures and self-assembling properties are discussed.
Abstract: Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are surface active compounds that belong to the glycolipid class of biosurfactants (BSs). MELs are produced by Pseudozyma sp. as a major component while Ustilago sp. produces them as a minor component. Although MELs have been known for over five decades, they recently regained attention due to their environmental compatibility, mild production conditions, structural diversity, self-assembling properties and versatile biochemical functions. In this review, the MEL producing microorganisms, the production conditions, their applications, their diverse structures and self-assembling properties are discussed. The biosynthetic pathways and the regulatory mechanisms involved in the production of MEL are also explained here.

TL;DR: The proposed topology enables UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability, and helps to match the dc- link voltage requirement of the shunt and series active filters of the UpQC.
Abstract: The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is a custom power device, which mitigates voltage and current-related PQ issues in the power distribution systems. In this paper, a UPQC topology for applications with non-stiff source is proposed. The proposed topology enables UPQC to have a reduced dc-link voltage without compromising its compensation capability. This proposed topology also helps to match the dc-link voltage requirement of the shunt and series active filters of the UPQC. The topology uses a capacitor in series with the interfacing inductor of the shunt active filter, and the system neutral is connected to the negative terminal of the dc-link voltage to avoid the requirement of the fourth leg in the voltage source inverter (VSI) of the shunt active filter. The average switching frequency of the switches in the VSI also reduces, consequently the switching losses in the inverters reduce. Detailed design aspects of the series capacitor and VSI parameters have been discussed in the paper. A simulation study of the proposed topology has been carried out using PSCAD simulator, and the results are presented. Experimental studies are carried out on three-phase UPQC prototype to verify the proposed topology.

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of flexible carbon fabric supported magnetite multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Fe3O4-MWNTs) nanocomposite based supercapacitor was fabricated for the removal of high concentration of arsenic and desalination of seawater.
Abstract: A new type of flexible carbon fabric supported magnetite multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Fe3O4-MWNTs) nanocomposite based supercapacitor was fabricated for the removal of high concentration of arsenic and desalination of seawater. MWNTs were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, purified by air oxidation and acid treatment followed by further functionalization. Decoration of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles over functionalized MWNTs surface was done by a chemical technique. Fe3O4-MWNTs nanocomposite was characterized using different characterization techniques. Electrochemical activity of the nanocomposite was analyzed for arsenite and arsenate ions containing water as well as for seawater by using cyclic voltametry (CV). Adsorption isotherms and kinetic characteristics of sodium, arsenate, and arsenite ion removal were studied. Performance of the filter made up of nanocomposite-based electrodes was examined by an inductive coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) techniqu...

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for additional neutral Higgs bosons in the τ τ final state in proton-proton collisions at the LHC was performed in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM), using the data collected with the CMS detector in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1.
Abstract: A search is presented for additional neutral Higgs bosons in the τ τ final state in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The search is performed in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM), using the data collected with the CMS detector in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. To enhance the sensitivity to neutral MSSM Higgs bosons, the search includes production of the Higgs boson in association with b quarks. No significant deviation above the expected background is observed. Model-independent limits at 95% confidence level (CL) are set on the product of the branching fraction for the decay into τ leptons and the cross section for the production via gluon fusion or in association with b quarks. These limits range from 18 pb at 90 GeV to 3.5 fb at 3.2 TeV for gluon fusion and from 15 pb (at 90 GeV) to 2.5 fb (at 3.2 TeV) for production in association with b quarks, assuming a narrow width resonance.

scenario these limits translate into a 95% CL exclusion of tan β > 6 for neutral Higgs boson masses below 250 GeV, where tan β is the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the neutral components of the two Higgs doublets. The 95% CL exclusion contour reaches 1.6 TeV for tan β = 60.
