Background and Objective: Nux-vomica based traditional Unani formulation, Habb-e-Azaraqi (HAZ) is an important drug used by Unani physicians since several decades. It possesses Muqawwi-i-A'sab (nervine tonic), Muharrik-i-A'sab (nervine stimulant) properties and is an effective treatment option for diseases like Laqwa (facial palsy), Falij (paralysis), Niqris (gout) and Waja'al-Mafasil (arthritis) etc. The aim of the study is to access and provide information of HAZ for its TLC, HPTLC Fingerprinting defining its clear qualitative perspective and acute oral toxicity evaluation for its safety assessment which was not done earlier, thus contributing in the field of research. Materials and Methods: The chief ingredient, nux-vomica was detoxified as per method mentioned in Unani Pharmacopeia before its use in formulation. TLC and HPTLC was developed under four detection system i.e., UV 366nm, UV 254nm, exposure to iodine vapours and after derivatization with anisaldehyde sulphuric acid. Acute toxicity studies were performed as per OECD Guidelines 425 at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg. Observations were done for signs of toxicity, body weight, and feed consumption at regular intervals followed by haematological and biochemistry evaluation. Results: The generated data proved the authenticity and established the TLC and HPTLC profile of the formulation. Acute toxicity revealed no significant differences in HAZ-treated animals with respect to body weight gain, feed consumption, haematology, clinical biochemistry evaluation. No significant gross pathological observation was noticed in necropsy. Conclusion: Data of the present study is substantial and scientific proof of HAZ in terms of standardization and toxicity study that can be utilize in future research activities.

The analysis of rapid flow transients in Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) is essential for a reactor safety study. An accurate and precise analysis of the RCP coastdown is necessary for the reactor design. The coastdown of RCP affects the coolant temperature and the colloidal crud in the primary coolant. A realistic and kinetic model has been used to investigate the behavior of activated colloidal crud in the primary coolant and steam generator that solves the pump speed analytically. The analytic solution of the non-dimensional flow rate has been determined by the energy ratio β. The kinetic energy of the coolant fluid and the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of a pump are two essential parameters in the form of β. Under normal operation, the pump's speed and moment of inertia are constant. However, in a coastdown situation, kinetic damping in the interval has been implemented. A dynamic model ACCP-SMART has been developed for System Integrated Modular and Advanced Reactor (SMART) to investigate the corrosion due to activated colloidal crud. The Fickian diffusion model has been implemented as the reference corrosion model for the constituent component of the primary loop of the SMART reactor. The activated colloidal crud activity in the primary coolant and steam generator of the SMART reactor has been studied for different equilibrium corrosion rates, linear increase in corrosion rate, and dynamic RCP coastdown situation energy ratio b. The coolant specific activity of SMART reactor equilibrium corrosion (4.0 mg s^-1) has been found 9.63×10^-3 µCi cm^-3, 3.53×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 2.39×10^-2 µC cm^-3, 8.10×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 6.77× 10^-3 µC cm^-3, 4.95×10^-4 µC cm^-3, 1.19×10^-3 µC cm^-3, and 7.87×10^-4 µC cm^-3 for ²⁴Na, ⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁶Mn, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁹⁹Mo, and ⁵¹Cr which are 14.95%, 5.48%, 37.08%, 12.57%, 10.51%, 0.77%, 18.50%, and 0.12% respectively. For linear and exponential coastdown with a constant corrosion rate, the total coolant and steam generator activity approaches a higher saturation value than the normal values. The coolant and steam generator activity changes considerably with kinetic corrosion rate, equilibrium corrosion, growth of corrosion rate (ΔC/Δt), and RCP coastdown situations. The effect of the RCP coastdown on the specific activity of the steam generators is smeared by linearly rising corrosion rates, equilibrium corrosion, and rapid coasting down of the RCP. However, the time taken to reach the saturation activity is also influenced by the slope of corrosion rate, coastdown situation, equilibrium corrosion rate, and energy ratio β.

본 연구에서는 임피던스 스펙트럼 분석법을 사용하여 중성운반체로 dibenzo-18-crown-6 (D18Cr6)와 valinomycin (Val)을 이용하여 $K^+$이온선택성 PVC막 전극의 막과 용액계면에서의 임피던스 특성을 검토하였다. PVC막에 대한 운반체의 종류와 함량, 가소제, 막두께, 기본전해질의 혼입(doping)여부 및 이온의 농도변화 등을 교류임피던스 분석법을 이용하여 측정하였고, 그 결과를 전극특성과 비교 검토하고 PVC막 전극에서의 전달특성을 규명하였다. 교류 임피던스의 특성을 측정하여 중성운반체로 D18Cr6와 Val을 포함하고 있는 PVC막 전극의 등가회로는 막의 벌크저항과 전기이중층 용량을 포함하는 기하학적용량을 병렬로 하고, 용액저항과 직렬로 구성되는 임피던스의 등가회로임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 저농도 및 저주파수 영역에서 약간의 전하전이저항과 Warburg저항이 나타나 중첩되는 것을 알 수 있었다. $K^+$이온선택성 전극에서 운반체로서 D18Cr6가 Val중 D18Cr6가 기존의 Val보다 전극특성 및 임피던스 특성이 좋았으며 특히 D18Cr6에 기본전해질로 potassium tetraphenylborate (TPB)를 첨가한 경우 이상적인 전극을 제조할 수 있었다. 운반체의 최적 함량은 D18Cr6와 Val의 경우 3.23wt%부근이었고, 가소제는 DBP가 가장 적절하였다. 막두께가 얇아질수록 임피던스 특성이 좋아졌으나, 막두께가 최적 막두께 이하로 얇아지면 전극특성이 나빠짐을 알 수 있었다. D18Cr6의 경우 $K^+$이온에 대한 혼합용액법에 의한 선택계수 서열은 다음과 같았다. $NH_4{^+}>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}>Na^+$.
