Authors: Zhou Kaiwen , Wang Shiqi , Wen Xin
Published: August 2024

Supersonic sweeping jets (SWJs) have demonstrated their effectiveness across a variety of scenarios, particularly in aeronautic applications (e.g., lift enhancement). An experimental study is conducted to investigate the characteristics of SWJs emitted from actuators with different spreading angle [Formula: see text] and exit length [Formula: see text]. Schlieren visualization is used to capture the near- and far-field SWJs at nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs) ranging from 1.6 to 6.9. The results show that as NPR increases the SWJs become underexpanded when [Formula: see text]. Different [Formula: see text] have an impact on the shock structure and the law of the spreading angle of jet control area [Formula: see text] changing with NPR. When [Formula: see text] is approximately 100 deg, [Formula: see text] increases at first and then decreases with increasing NPR, reaching up to 90 deg at high NPRs. When [Formula: see text] is about 50 deg, [Formula: see text] remains roughly constant and equal to [Formula: see text]. Internal flow measurements reveal that flow attachment caused by the Coanda effect plays a significant role in the mechanism that leads to a change in [Formula: see text]. Proper orthogonal decomposition is applied to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns. Far-field measurements show multiple sound waves propagating upstream and downstream, which generated by the supersonic SWJs.

Published: August 2024

Dengan adanya kenaikan harga bahan bakar minyak, sebagian besar masyarakat di Indonesia memilih untuk menggunakan bahan bakar yang memiliki kandungan oktan sebesar 90. Namun, penggunaan bahan bakar dengan nilai oktan yang lebih rendah dapat mempengaruhi kinerja dan efisiensi dari mesin kendaraan roda empat, terutama bila kesesuaian antara oktan bahan bakar dengan perbandingan kompresi mesin kendaraan sudah tidak lagi diperhatikan. Salah satu solusi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah dengan menambahkan senyawa octane boster pada bahan bakar dengan nilai oktan 90 sehingga menyerupai bahan bakar dengan kandungan oktan sebesar 92.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan kaji eksperimen untuk melihat pengaruh penggunaan octane booster yang dijual secara komersial terhadap konsumsi bahan bakar dari kendaraan multi-guna dengan kapasitas mesin 1500 cc. Pengujian konsumsi bahan bakar dilakukan dengan uji jalan berbasis metode full-to-full. Hasil pengukuran menunjukan bahwa penggunaan octane booster pada bahan bakar dengan nilai oktan 90 mampu mengurangi konsumsi bahan bakar sebesar 6,82%. Akan tetapi, konsumsi bahan bakar tersebut masih lebih boros bila dibandingkan dengan kendaraan yang menggunakan bahan bakar dengan nilai oktan 92. Hasil analisis ekonomi menemukan bahwa penggunaan octane booster bisa menjadi alternatif yang efisien dari segi biaya jika dibandingkan dengan penggunaan bahan bakar dengan nilai oktan 92 pada kendaraan roda empat.

A Decade of Computational Mass Spectrometry from Reference Spectra to Deep Learning
Authors: Stravs Michael A.
Published: August 2024

Computational methods are playing an increasingly important role as a complement to conventional data evaluation methods in analytical chemistry, and particularly mass spectrometry. Computational mass spectrometry (CompMS) is the application of computational methods on mass spectrometry data. Herein, advances in CompMS for small molecule chemistry are discussed in the areas of spectral libraries, spectrum prediction, and tentative structure identification (annotation): Automatic spectrum curation is facilitating the expansion of openly available spectral libraries, a crucial resource both for compound annotation directly and as a resource for machine learning algorithms. Spectrum prediction and molecular fingerprint prediction have emerged as two key approaches to compound annotation. For both, multiple methods based on classical machine learning and deep learning have been developed. Driven by advances in deep learning-based generative chemistry, de novo structure generation from fragment spectra is emerging as a new field of research. This review highlights key publications in these fields, including our approaches RMassBank (automatic spectrum curation) and MSNovelist (de novo structure generation).

Quantifying viral load, a key measure required to achieve control and elimination of the HIV epidemic, requires cell-free plasma or serum to ensure measurements are not biased by proviral DNA contained in infected CD4 T lymphocytes. Plasma separation cards (PSC) collect and preserve a dried specimen, which makes them practical solutions for decentralized sample collection and transport in limited-resource settings. However, physiological variations in hematocrit levels can introduce significant variability in sample quality and lead to inaccurate test results. In addition to hematocrit-dependent sampling, the Roche PSC, the commercial standard for dried plasma collection, is also known to induce hemolysis, which further reduces specimen quality and impacts concordance with liquid plasma. We address these gaps with the development of a new patterned dried plasma spot (pDPS) card, which generates cell-free plasma with improved hematocrit independence and minimal hemolysis. This study directly compares pDPS cards to the Roche PSC to measure HIV viral load. Analysis of HIV RNA from 75 different donors revealed strong agreement in sensitivity, specificity, overall accuracy, and viral load band placement between collection devices, with quantitative metrics suggesting improved performance for pDPS cards. In reflexive genotyping, remnant dried blood from pDPS cards exhibited greater success in amplification and sequencing (71% v. 62%) and in detecting drug resistance mutations (63% v. 42%) than Roche PSC. These results suggest that pDPS cards could be versatile across multiple analytical platforms, can integrate seamlessly into existing clinical laboratory workflows, and aid clinicians in making informed treatment decisions.
Synthesis, Characterizations and Chemometric Analysis Approach of Nitrile Functionalized Asymmetrical Dinuclear Silver(I) Di-N¬-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes
Authors: Nazri Muhammad Zulhelmi , Razali Mohd Rizal , Hussaini Sunusi Yahya , Basar Norazah
Published: August 2024

A series of novel asymmetrical bis-benzimidazolium salts were synthesized via a two-step alkylation process, yielding the benzimidazolium salts of N,N'-(ethane/propane/butane-1,2/3/4-diyl)-1-benzylbenzimidazolium-1'-(n-benzonitrile)benzimidazolium dibromide (n = 2,3,4) (1Br – 9Br). These salts served as carbene precursors for the subsequent formation of nitrile-functionalized asymmetrical silver(I) di-NHC complexes (Ag1 – Ag9) (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) through an in-situ deprotonation method using Ag2O. Comprehensive characterization of the bis-benzimidazolium salts and their corresponding dinuclear silver(I) di-NHC complexes was performed using melting point determination, CHN elemental analyses, FTIR, and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The successful complexation of nitrile-functionalized NHC ligands with silver(I) ions was evidenced by the disappearance of the acidic-carbene proton peak (δ 9.69 – 10.23 ppm) in the 1H-NMR spectra of the complexes. Furthermore, the formation of Ag-Ccarbene bonds was confirmed by the appearance of characteristic peaks in the 13C-NMR spectra of Ag1 – Ag9 (δ 170.89 – 195.90 ppm). To elucidate structure-property relationships, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to the NMR spectroscopic data. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the 1H-NMR data revealed distinct clustering of bis-benzimidazolium salts and their respective silver(I) di-NHC complexes, with the first two principal components accounting for 71.40% of the total variance. Similarly, the PCA of the 13C-NMR data explained 72.08% of the total variance through the first two principal components. These results demonstrate the efficacy of PCA in differentiating and classifying the compounds based on their structural features and functional groups. Moreover, this study highlights the synergistic application of advanced spectroscopic techniques and chemometric analysis in inorganic synthesis chemistry subject and the insights gained from this approach contribute to a deeper understanding of the structural properties and potential applications of these novel NHC complexes, paving the way for future developments in organometallic chemistry and catalysis.
Understanding and Quantifying Molecular Flexibility: Torsion Angular Bin Strings
Authors: Braun Jessica , Katzberger Paul , Landrum Gregory A. , Riniker Sereina
Published: August 2024

Molecular flexibility is a commonly used, but not easily quantified term. It is at the core of understanding composition and size of a conformational ensemble and contributes to many molecular properties. For many computational workflows, it is necessary to reduce a conformational ensemble to meaningful representatives, however defining them and guaranteeing the ensemble’s completeness is difficult. We introduce the concepts of torsion angular bin strings (TABS) as a discrete vector representation of a conformer’s dihedral angles and the number of possible TABS (nTABS) as an estimation for the ensemble size of a molecule, respectively. Here, we show that nTABS corresponds to an upper limit for the size of the conformational space of small molecules and compare the classification of conformer ensembles by TABS with classifications by RMSD. Overcoming known drawbacks like the molecular size dependency and threshold picking of the RMSD measure, TABS is shown to meaningfully discretize the conformational space and hence allows e.g. for fast checks of the coverage of the conformational space. The current proof-of-concept implementation is based on the ETKDGv3sr conformer generator as implemented in the RDKit and known torsion preferences extracted from small-molecule crystallographic data.

Multimaterial Digital-Light Processing of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Composites: a Versatile Tool for the Rapid Microfabrication of MOF-based Devices
Authors: Carbonell Carlos , Linares-Moreau Mercedes , Borisov Sergey M. , Falcaro Paolo
Published: August 2024

Patterning Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is essential for their use in sensing, electronics, photonics, and encryption technologies. However, current lithography methods are limited in their ability to pattern more than two MOFs, hindering the potential for creating advanced multifunctional surfaces. Additionally, balancing design flexibility, simplicity, and cost often results in compromises. This study addresses these challenges by combining Digital-Light Processing (DLP) with a capillary-assisted stop-flow system to enable multimaterial MOF patterning. It demonstrates the desktop fabrication of multiplexed arbitrary micropatterns across cm-scale areas while preserving the MOF’s pore accessibility. The ink, consisting of a MOF crystal suspension in a low volatile solvent, a mixture of high molecular weight oligomers and a photoinitiator, is confined by capillarity in the DLP projection area and quickly exchanged using syringe pumps. The versatility of this method is demonstrated by the direct printing of a ZIF-8-based luminescent oxygen sensor, a 5-component dynamic information concealment method, and a PCN-224-based colorimetric sensor for amines, covering disparate pore and analyte sizes. The multi-MOF capabilities, simplicity, and accessibility of this strategy, pave the way for the facile exploration of MOF materials across a wide range of applications, with the potential to significantly accelerate the design-to-application cycle of MOF-based devices.

Objetos simbólicos y su doble realidad. Un recorrido hacia la comprensión simbólica de imágenes de realidad virtual en la infancia
Authors: Díaz Paula , Peralta Olga
Published: August 2024

Partiendo de autores clásicos y de trabajos empíricos, este artículo propone una discusión sobre los interrogantes que, por sus características específicas, plantea la realidad virtual en la comprensión de sus imágenes como objetos simbólicos en la infancia temprana. Los objetos simbólicos son entidades que desde tiempos inmemoriales han sido creadas con la intención de representar algo diferente a ellas mismas, por lo que se considera que tienen una naturaleza doble. Existen numerosos estudios respecto a la comprensión de diversos objetos simbólicos, como maquetas, dibujos y mapas; también, y más recientemente, de imágenes plasmadas en tecnologías digitales táctiles como tablets o smartphones. Sin embargo, los interrogantes que plantean las imágenes inmersivas, como representaciones de la realidad, aún no han sido abordados. Este trabajo fundamentalmente discute la pregunta sobre la comprensión simbólica de las imágenes de realidad virtual en la niñez temprana y, también, su posible utilización en el campo educativo.

ОБЗОР СОСТОЯНИЯ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОГО МАЛОГО И СРЕДНЕГО ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛЬСТВА В УСЛОВИЯХ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЙ НЕСТАБИЛЬНОСТИ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ РЕГИОНОВ СФО)
Authors: ХАВИНА ЛИЛИЯ АРКАДЬЕВНА
Published: August 2024

Интерес автора к проблемам малого и среднего предпринимательства связан с огромной ролью этого сектора, поскольку это важнейшая составляющая экономики страны, во многом определяющая уровень экономического развития, значимый фактор социальной устойчивости общества, способный снижать территориальную неравномерность экономического пространства. Целью исследования является анализ ситуации последних лет связанной с развитием малого и среднего предпринимательства сибирских регионов, где в этом секторе экономики в общей сложности занято до 36% экономически активного населения. Методическую основу изучения составили исследования отечественных ученых, научные статьи, официальные статистические данные. Исследованием установлено, что основная масса этой хозяйственной деятельности приходится на крупные городские поселения, поскольку именно здесь у предпринимателей есть возможность реализоваться и создать собственные предприятия. Сибирские мегаполисы обеспечены серьезным сырьевым и научным потенциалом, материальными возможностями, рабочими кадрами и рынками сбыта своей продукции. Глобальная нестабильность изменений социально-экономического пространства России, связанная с наложенными санкциями, внесла свои негативные коррективы и в эту отрасль народного хозяйства и это связано также и с тем, что произошла потеря поставок из-за рубежа технологического оборудования. С определенной уверенностью можно сказать, что предприятия малого и среднего бизнеса Сибири в современных условиях высокой неопределенности и турбулентности внешней среды достаточно оперативно, но не без потерь, отреагировали на изменения рыночной экономики. В настоящее время, которое связано с трансформацией всей системы факторов развития регионов и городов, вполне очевидным становится вопрос о постепенной диверсификации экономической структуры, в связи с потерей превалирующего значения многих крупных субъектов промышленности, которые до недавнего времени доминировали в экономике страны, к более мелким, а именно предприятиям малого и среднего бизнеса. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в практической деятельности по исследованию состояния, перспектив и проблем малого и среднего предпринимательства в Сибирских регионах.
LABOUR UNIONISM AND WORKERS WELFARE IN NIGERIA
Authors: OKOLIE UGO CHUKS , AFONUGHE Irikefe Omamuyovi
Published: August 2024

Abstract. This paper looks at the contributions worker unions have made to ensuring prompt promotions for workers, the regular delivery of training programs for workers, and the extent to which effective labour unionism has ensured the prompt payment of pensions and gratuities to retirees in Nigeria. The study's theoretical framework was the pluralism theory by Flanders and Fox (1970). Secondary sources were used to collect the data. On the produced materials, contextual analyses were conducted. The results of the study showed that due to the difficult political environment in the nation, Nigeria has not had effective unionism over the years. Because of this, it is uncommon for employer support employee welfare programs like job security, prompt promotion with commensurate financial benefits, regular training programs, and pension and gratuity benefits to be provided. All of these have caused employees across Nigerian government institutions to experience hunger, poverty, and a lack of motivation to carry out their assigned duties. The researcher suggested that labour unions in Nigeria, among other things, should persuade government institutions to ensure adequate provision of workers welfare in order to improve the socioeconomic wellbeing of the workers and toward higher performance in the organizations; unions should seek redress in industrial court with regards to any infringement on the rights of any worker in Nigeria as this has produced results in the past.

The community of Pakamban Daya Village, Sumenep is an example of a community that highly values religious knowledge, this can be seen from the many Islamic boarding schools or Taman Pendidikan AL-Qur’an (TPQ) there. One of the religious learning processes at TPQ is reading the Al-Qur'an. Reading will support learning activities carried out both in class and at Islamic boarding schools. Learning to read the Al-Qur'an basically must pay attention to the main principles that every teacher needs to understand. This is because learning to read the Al-Qur'an is of course different from learning to read books, novels or other reading materials. The art of reading the Al-Qur'an is the tilawati method, where the method of learning to read the Al-Qur'an is with the basic technique of talqin-taqlid (imitation) as the Prophet Muhammad imitated the reading of the Angel Jibril. Thus, this service is carried out to help TPQ students read the Al-Qur'an with good and correct tilawati as an effort to improve the quality of the art of reading the Al-Qur'an. The program was held at the Pakamban Daya village hall with various strategies that had been implemented and received full support from the village head, village officials and the local community. This service is carried out as a form of the Tri Dharma of college, namely providing community service.

Art is a valuable medium for making people aware of religion, ethics, religious value, social life, and for a devotee to praise the Lord. There are sixty-four such arts. The most ancient of these arts is the art of Music. Our ancestors used to praise the Lord through ʼR̥kʼ (Ruk). The remembrance of the Lord became more effective when the swaras were composed for these ʼR̥kʼ (Ruk) and sung in the Samaveda. Thus, music became the medium for the remembrance of God. Remembrance of Lord started through dance and dramas based on this musical art. Dance and drama trace their origins to the Bharata’s Natyashastra. Dhruva is said to be Ranga Gita in Bharata’s Natya Shastra. The Dhruva Gīta is a type of Prabhanda in one of the ʼChaturdandiʼ of music. It is from this Dhruva Gīta that the musical composition called Daru was created. Bhakti rasa is often found in these well-known compositions in music. Daru in Bharathantyam is composed and performed in the form of Varnam. Most of the lyrics of Daru varnam is based on describing the God/Goddess. Whereas in Kuchupudi Dance-drama, music or Daru is composed based on the characters and the situation. Different types of Daru have been incorporated in Kuchupudi dance-drama. Here is a comparative study between the composition of Daru in Bharathantyam and kuchupudi.
