Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of the development of a novel CraCubMncNid High Entropy based Alloy (HEA) system and process for preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to CraCubMncNid high entropy alloy-based system, wherein the concentration of a in the ranges of 5-17 atomic percent (at %), b in the range of 18-35 atomic percent (at %), c in the range of 17-34 atomic percent (at %), and d in the range of 23-37 atomic percent (at %). The unique combination of these elements unlocks a new level of performance and reliability, marking a significant advancement in the field of high entropy alloys. Cr—Cu—Mn—Ni-based High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) exhibiting cost effective, superior strength, hardness, tribological performance, and corrosion resistance at room temperature. Cr—Cu—Mn—Ni-based High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) alloy system a robust alternative to traditional nickel-based and nickel-iron-based superalloys in a wide range of applications.

Abstract: A method for increasing biomass and sugar yield of a plant comprising: transforming a plant with a first gene that is functional in a plant, wherein said gene is pleitropic, and wherein said plant overexpresses said gene, thereby increasing biomass and sugar yield; producing said plant through molecular breeding using information of said gene; and cultivating said plant.

Abstract: An optical detection system includes an optical transmit-receive system, an optical conduit in optical communication with the optical transmit-receive system, and an optical sensor in optical communication with the optical conduit. The optical transmit-receive system provides pulsed optical signals to the optical sensor by way of the optical conduit that have a maximum pulse width of about 100 nanoseconds and further have a maximum pulse width that is less than a maximum distance of reflection of the pulsed optical signals in the optical detection system to decrease false alarms.
