Accelerated discovery of solid-state electrolytes using Bayesian optimisation
Authors: Tawfik Sherif , Berk Julian , Walsh Tiffany , Rana Santu , Venkatesh Svetha
Published: October 2024

Current lithium batteries do not fully meet the longevity and safety requirements of electric vehicles. Novel solid state lithium ion batteries could be a compelling solution to these problems. In this work we unravel some of these new materials with potentially high lithium conductivity by using a Bayesian optimization approach. This involves exploring the material space for new solid-state electrolyte materials with the objective of maximising - lithium diffusivity. The materials selected by the Bayesian optimisation algorithm are then examined using ab initio molecular dynamics to estimate their diffusion energy barrier. We establish that the materials are electronic insulators, a requirement in electrolyte materials, by computing the electronic bandgaps of each of the selected materials using a hybrid exchange method, and then examine the stability of the materials at the lithium metal anode interface by computing the crystal decomposition energies. Out of the selected materials, we find that Li3YBr6 has a reasonably low diffusion barrier, a high bandgap and is potentially the most stable material at the lithium metal interface. In addition to introducing stable and high-diffusivity solid-state electrolyte materials, our work presents a material discovery method that can be applied for a broad range of applications.
Inverting Conventional Chemoselectivity of Metal Carbenes with Sulfenylcarbenes for Late-Stage Functionalizations
Authors: Kafle Prakash , Herndon Deacon , Sharma Indrajeet
Published: October 2024

Late-stage functionalization (LSF) is a crucial strategy in drug discovery, allowing the modification of complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals, to enhance chemical diversity in drug libraries. In this study, we leverage the unique reactivity of sulfenylcarbenes, which exhibit inverse chemoselectivity compared to metal carbenes. Notably, they selectively react with alkenes in the presence of more reactive functionalities like alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines. This reactivity allows sulfenylcarbenes to insert a single carbon atom bearing diverse functional groups, transforming pyrrole, indole, and imidazole scaffolds into synthetically challenging pyridines, quinolines, and pyrimidines, respectively. Our metal-free LSF approach employs benchtop-stable sulfenylcarbene precursors compatible with various functional groups and enables late-stage modification of natural products, amino acids, and pharmaceuticals. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations were conducted to investigate the regioselectivity outcomes.

Published: October 2024

Cell-penetrating peptides can internalize ubiquitously in many, if not all, cell types. To explore the specific targeting issue of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), we studied glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding peptides previously identified in Otx2 and En2 homeoproteins (HPs), alone or extended with the penetratin-like third helix (H3) of En2. HPs are indeed known to internalize in specific cells, thanks to their GAG-targeting sequence (Joliot et al. 2022; Cardon et al. 2023). We quantified the capacity of these peptides to enter into various cell lines known to express different levels and types of heparan sulfates (HS) and chondroitin sulfates (CS) GAGs. We also analyzed by calorimetry (DSC, ITC) and fluorescence spectroscopy, the binary and ternary interactions between heparin (HI), (4S, 6S)CS (CS-E), zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) model membranes and those peptides. Altogether, our results demonstrate the existence of Ca2+-dependent interactions between CS-E or HI and PC lipid bilayers, the major phospholipid found in animal cell plasma membrane. Importantly, we show that CS-E can act as a Ca2+-dependent bridge with PC membranes that can be exploited by a chimeric CS-E-recognition motif-H3 peptide to bind and cross the membrane lipid bilayer and get access directly to the cytosol of cells. Altogether, this study brings further information uncovering the molecular mechanism of the translocation process of CPPs that implies specific GAGs at the cell-surface. It also shed light on the role of GAGs in the paracrine activity and cell specificity of HPs.
Synthesis of fully π-conjugated, pentagon-embedded non-alternant carbon nanobelts
Authors: Han Yi , Wu Shaofei , Khoo Koon Yong Shawn , Chi Chunyan
Published: October 2024

Synthesis of carbon nanobelts (CNBs) with delocalized electronic structures and enhanced π-conjugation remains unclear but is fundamentally important. Herein, we present the first successful synthesis and characterization of fully π-conjugated, pentagon-embedded non-alternant CNBs, carefully designed with optimal strain and reactive site protection. These compounds were synthesized using an iterative Diels-Alder reaction followed by deoxygenative aromatization. Unlike all-benzenoid alternant CNBs, these CNBs exhibit smaller band gaps, stronger red emission, and more effective π-conjugation due to the incorporation of non-alternant moieties. One CNB can be oxidized into its dication, which exhibits an open-shell singlet ground state and intriguing global aromaticity, with theoretical calculations predicting two weakly coupled annulenes along the edges. This work opens new avenues for synthesizing complex carbon nanostructures with enhanced electronic properties.
Unveiling the effect of chloride on the surface modification of Cu(111)
Authors: Sebastián Pascual Paula , Pascual-Llorens Vicente , Serrà Ramos Albert
Published: October 2024

Electrochemical oxidation-reduction processes in the presence of anions have been widely explored for surface preparation of tailor-made copper catalysts. Nevertheless, the role of the anion and which sites geometries induce remains elusive. To address this uncertainty, we have assessed the effect of chloride on the surface modification of a well-defined Cu(111) single crystalline electrode using a potential-pulse technique. The morphology analysis revealed the formation of shape hexagonal microstructures homogeneously distributed on the single-facet surface. This shape was nearly similar to a (310) particle growing along the direction of the (111) orientation. Herein, we provide experimental insights supporting the idea that chloride induces the formation of n(100)x(110) domains, whereas the crystal-substrate orientation determines the growth direction of the new crystallographic phase. The present work offers a straightforward approach that enables precise control over the modification of highly ordered surfaces. This strategy is relevant for rationally assessing anion effects on the formation of distinct site geometries.
The Apparent and Hidden Variables for Optimizing and Functionalizing Non-alternant Nanographenes
Authors: Zdetsis Aristides
Published: October 2024

Motivated by the recent synthesis of non-alternant isomers of small peri acenes through the introduction of Stone-Wales (SW) and “SW-like” (azulene) moieties, on their alternant isomers, we set here to examine the roots, and profound characteristics of such nanographenes (NGRs) to systematically optimize and functionalize their spintronic and optoelectronic properties. Setting aside for the moment (longitudinal) quantum confinement, which can be taken care by longer NGRs, we find that the deeper reason for these properties is either decreasing antiaromaticity or increasing aromaticity, the two not always been equivalent. Although decreasing antiaromaticity determines the spin state for a given geometry, increasing aromaticity is the decisive factor for selecting the ground state geometry. Yet, it is not necessarily associated with larger negative values of nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS). Actually, “higher aromaticity” maybe accompanied by highly antiaromatic rings with positive NICS numbers. It is demonstrated that “increasing aromaticity” in fact describes the topological capability of the non-alternant system to accommodate the full (or the largest part of the) aromaticity pattern of the corresponding alternant NGR, meaning that “defects” should be concentrated as much as possible around the empty rings. The aromaticity pattern is fully determined by the number Z of zigzag rings at the two ends, which follows the generalized width rule: Z= 3n±1 (n=1, 2,…). similarly to alternant AGNRs. Thus, the Z=3 SW-AGNRs compared to those of Z=4, have different aromaticity patterns and (consequently) different (opto)electronic and magnetic properties. These results and conclusions are in accord with earlier predictions of the present author about the “topological/aromatic” role of “empty” rings. Furthermore, they are also validated by the already synthesized non-alternant NGRs (with Z=3 and 4).

Published: October 2024

Among proposed Generation IV nuclear reactors, the molten salt fast reactor (MSFR) has some of the most promising inherent safety features available. Among these includes the solidification of the molten salt matrix upon loss of external heating, preventing runaway. Other convenient features include online reprocessing and increased fuel variety. A major hurdle for MSFR design is the lack of fundamental data on the component salts, and the resulting fission and corrosion product speciation. While MSFRs are typically designed for use with fluoride salts, chloride salts have shown promise, and have had increased interest in recent years. A better understanding of the fundamental thermodynamic properties of chlorides would aid in the design of more efficient and more precise separations of the spent fuel salt mixture for recycling of fissile isotopes. This review has collected and analyzed existing literature data on the relevant thermochemical and thermophysical properties including: boiling / melting / sublimation points, heat capacity, vapor pressure expressions, enthalpic / entropic / free energy formation and phase change values. The elements of interest include that of fuel salts (actinides), solvent salts (alkali and alkaline earth metals), and fission and corrosion product (main group, transition metal, and rare earth element) chloride salts.
Multi-stimuli-responsive porous organic polymers for syn-ergistic drug-gas anticancer therapy
Authors: Skorjanc Tina , Burke David , Inose Tomoko , Furukawa Shuhei
Published: October 2024

Combination therapies can significantly aid in the treatment of biologically complex diseases, including cancer. These powerful therapies, such as synergistic nitric oxide (NO) gas and chemotherapy, are able to simultaneously target different biological targets, thereby overcoming or reducing drug resistance and decreasing dose-related toxicity. However, in nearly all existing carriers, gases and drugs compete for loading in the same physical space of the carrier and can thus interfere with each other. Herein, we use a porous organic polymer (POP) as a design strategy to pre-pare a combination therapy vehicle with spatially segregated gas and drug loading sites. SH-POP, synthesized by a facile, room-temperature method, is rich in both thiol (-SH) and secondary amine (R-NH-R’) functional groups, which can be post-synthetically nitrosated, yielding light-stimulated NO-releasing SNO-POP. Upon white light irradiation, SNO-POP releases up to ~56 µmol of NO per gram and exhibits reversible on-off NO release behavior triggered by simple light irradiation for at least 20 cycles. Unlike many conventional systems, where a known small-molecule NO donor is incorporated into the pores, here, the porous polymer scaffold serves as a NO reservoir, so the pores remain available for the encapsulation of another therapeutic, Doxorubicin (Dox). The release of Dox from the Dox@SNO-POP system is pH-sensitive and occurs preferentially in a slightly acidic environment (pH = 5.4). HeLa and HepG2 cancer cell viability studies confirm an enhancement in toxicity that can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of light-triggered NO release and pH-triggered Dox release. Confocal fluorescence microscopy imaging reveals the presence of both therapeutic species inside cancer cells. This study is expected to stimulate interest in the development of other combination therapy vehicles that minimize the interference between different cargos in cancer treatment.

ADVANCES IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING: A SURVEY OF TECHNIQUES
Authors: Alladi Deekshith
Published: October 2024

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed remarkable advancements over the past few decades, transforming the way machines understand and interact with human language. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the key techniques and methodologies that have propelled the field forward, highlighting both traditional approaches and contemporary innovations. We begin by discussing foundational NLP techniques such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and syntactic parsing, which laid the groundwork for understanding language structure. The evolution of statistical methods, including Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and Conditional Random Fields (CRFs), is explored as a significant advancement in the probabilistic modeling of language. The survey then delves into the rise of machine learning approaches, particularly supervised and unsupervised learning, which have revolutionized various NLP tasks such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and machine translation. We examine the impact of deep learning, focusing on architectures like Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that have enabled significant improvements in performance across a range of applications. The introduction of transformer models, particularly the attention mechanism and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), marks a paradigm shift in how contextual information is captured, leading to state-of-the-art results in numerous NLP benchmarks. In addition to technical advancements, the survey addresses the challenges that persist in NLP, including issues of bias in language models, the necessity for large annotated datasets, and the importance of explainability in AI systems. We discuss ongoing research efforts aimed at mitigating these challenges, including techniques for domain adaptation, few-shot learning, and unsupervised representation learning. This survey aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a clear understanding of the trajectory of NLP techniques, illustrating how traditional methods have evolved into sophisticated deep learning models. We conclude by highlighting future directions for research in NLP, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate linguistics, cognitive science, and ethical considerations to build more robust, fair, and interpretable NLP systems. Through this comprehensive survey, we seek to inspire further exploration and innovation in the field of Natural Language Processing, paving the way for applications that can better understand and generate human language in diverse contexts.

Plastic is one of the main pollutants in the ocean due to its persistent nature. Plastic in waters can be broken down into pieces <5 mm in size, called microplastics, and enter the bodies of aquatic biota such as shellfish. The objectives of this research was to analyze the abundance and identify the characteristics of microplastics in blood clam and green mussel from Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta City. The method in this research is to sample shellfish from Pasar Beringharjo. The shellfish samples obtained had their meat removed and soaked in 10% KOH for 3 days. The isolation results were filtered and the microplastics obtained were observed under a light microscope to determine their abundance and characteristics. The polymers that make up microplastics are analyzed by FTIR. The abundance and characteristics of microplastics between shellfish kinds were compared using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics in blood clam (average 839.25 ± 144.24 microplastics/individual) was higher compared to green mussel (average 703.75 ± 159.21 microplastics/individual), but not significantly different (p>0.05). The form of microplastic that dominates in both kinds of shellfish is fragments. The most common color of microplastics found in both kinds of shellfish was black and brown. The size of microplastics in both kinds of shellfish is dominated by the range 0-100 µm. FTIR results indicate the type of nylon polymer (polyamide). Microplastics in blood clam and green mussel from Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta City have almost the same abundance and characteristics.

Varied timing, OCCAM modeling, and hardware-software equivalence in a worked IoT example
Authors: Dickson Lawrence
Published: October 2024

CSP-based OCCAM modeling promises to bring great clarity to Internet of Things (IoT) designs that have been made vague by abstract tools. This requires an absoluteness in timing and data access that is more characteristic of the Transputer than of modern systems. However, it turns out some standard C and *n*x library tools can provide it, if human timing suffices.

IoT design is strongly dependent on use cases, and we had the fortune of a very definite project use case that drove the small OCCAM-modeled system described in the Reference. Key tools in the design include Unix sockets, ssh, and the kernel-based call select(). This paper will complete that system, begun in the referenced Fringe, and relate it to the general issues to which this technique can be expanded. Its occam modeling will be defended based on timing knowledge, and its hardware-software equivalence (HSE) will be proven.

This development must be read in conjunction with the Reference, which see. It de- velops the Reference to allow three or more independent racing systems. It explains the applicability of the revised approach to general IoT.

Could Communicating Sequential Processes be Used to Make Quantum Computing More Tractable?
Authors: Martin Jeremy
Published: October 2024

Quantum computers are notoriously difficult to program. This is largely because they operate predominantly on complex algebraic structures which are not usually part of the vocabulary of conventional programmers who are more used to working with integers, floating point numbers and Boolean values. Also, the atomic operations carried out by quantum gates require a level of understanding of counter-intuitive properties of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, measurement, and entanglement, which is a considerable step beyond the familiar Boolean logic which is implemented by gates in classical circuits. Therefore, there is a significant challenge for software developers who have been trained in how to create code for conventional computers in making the transition to quantum. Quantum programming is currently the preserve of mathematicians and theoretical physicists. In this paper I shall consider whether the process algebra of CSP could be useful tool in this context to make the field of Quantum Computing more accessible.

Published: October 2024

The Vijayanagara Empire's expansion in South India during the 14th and 15th centuries transformed regional maritime trade, extending its influence to overseas territories and integrating into global trade networks. Key rulers such as Harihara II and Devaraya II played pivotal roles in enhancing port facilities and trade routes, notably developing Palavekkad and Thirumenapatto as major trading hubs.The Later Pandyas revived trade relations with China during the Ming Dynasty, navigating the tribute system and facilitating the flow of goods such as pearls and textiles between Tamil Nadu and China.The 15th century saw a shift in trade routes from Tamil Nadu to the Malabar Coast, with ports like Kozhikode and Kochi emerging as prominent trade centres, reflecting changes in global trade dynamics.These developments reshaped regional economies, influenced trade patterns, and highlighted South India’s role in the broader medieval global economy.

Published: October 2024

The field of supply chain management (SCM) has experienced significant evolution; however, it continues to face a multitude of challenges and perspectives that impact its overall effectiveness. Traditional approaches have predominantly concentrated on minimizing expenses and improving operational efficiency, often resulting in linear and compartmentalized processes that exhibit limited flexibility and responsiveness. Among the primary challenges are disruptions instigated by global occurrences, escalating consumer expectations for rapidity and customization, and the complexities associated with managing a diverse array of suppliers. Additionally, reliance on historical data for forecasting purposes may yield inaccurate predictions, exacerbating issues related to inventory management. Contemporary perspectives advocate for the adoption of integrated and agile systems that employ technological advancements, including sophisticated analytics and real-time data, to enhance decision-making and foster collaboration. By emphasizing sustainability and risk management, modern SCM frameworks aim to cultivate resilient supply chains capable of swiftly adapting to fluctuating market conditions. Addressing these challenges requires a transition from conventional methodologies to more innovative and holistic strategies that prioritize collaboration, transparency, and adaptability within supply chain operations.

Published: October 2024

Public Healthcare institutions in India are becoming less preferred compared to private healthcare institutions, not because these public facilities have less qualified doctors or staff but because of their old rustic structures and low maintenance of the buildings which are disconnected from nature. Biophilic is an idea to create bonding between a building and its user through landscape and natural essential elements of life like natural light, fresh air and water to improve mental well-being, reduce stress and increase the healing capacity of a human being. This research is mainly focused on the descriptive research on biophilic design and public healthcare facilities in India and the comparative case studies of KTP Hospital in Singapore and ‘Östra Psychiatry Hospital’ in Sweden with District Hospital Barmer-Rajasthan and District Hospital Satna- M.P. to understand the feasibility and challenges of the Biophilic concept in healthcare facilities in Indian public healthcare facilities. The findings of study shows that the user perspective is somewhere also dependent on the architectural or structural condition of the facility along with the qualification of medical staff. The healing process of patients and the mental well-being of staff can be improved by the addition of natural elements in daily life. This research therefore concludes as a healthcare system it is its responsibility to provide the best possible treatment not just by providing medicine but by a healing environment too, also it is necessary to focus on improving the mental well-being of all the staff including doctors, nurses, supports staffs etc.

Published: October 2024

Affordable housing, economic growth, and environmental protection are India's urban development priorities. The housing sector of India holds the third largest position among other industries. India needs inexpensive, sustainable housing for economic and environmental reasons. The definition of affordable housing has been discussed as given by the government schemes and authorities. Urbanisation, infrastructure, and housing shortages affect India's housing business. According to a government technical study from 2011, there was an 18.76-million-unit shortfall in metropolitan areas, with 96% of those units belonging to EWS and LIG. However, it doesn’t consider nondurable and rental houses, which further increases the housing demand. To address such issues, the central government has launched various sustainable affordable housing policies to integrate sustainability, affordability, and inclusion into architecture and construction. ‘Housing for all’ is one of the government schemes launched in June 2015 which promotes affordable housing and technology in the sector. Housing and allied industries play a significant role to boost GDP, jobs, and communities. Energy-efficient technology, waste management, green spaces, and sustainable building reduce housing developments' environmental impact. These activities reduce carbon emissions and strengthen urban climate change resilience, saving the environment. The research stresses social inclusion to provide affordable housing to low-income, women, and vulnerable people. Housing inclusivity promotes equity in the society. India's sustainable, affordable housing schemes are analysed, and gaps are identified. Public-private partnerships, subsidies, and governments encourage sustainable housing. Finally, affordable housing benefits India's economy and environment. This study underlines the necessity to incorporate economic, environmental, and social factors into housing laws and practices to solve India's housing crisis. It further mentions Sustainable, affordable housing will boost India's economy, environment, and the quality of life holistically.
