Have we been wrong all along about the luminescence of iridium(III) complexes?
Authors: Nastula Dawid , Williams J.A. Gareth , Pander Piotr
Published: September 2024

We demonstrate that the photoluminescence of certain types of iridium(III) complexes displays a substantial contribution from thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), which enhances the efficiency of emission. The careful assessment of a range of literature data allowed TADF-emitting complexes to be identified, having a singlet-triplet energy gap ΔEST in the range 14 to 100 meV. The TADF contribution at room temperature (RT) is assessed from experimental data and computational modelling. While typically characterised by a relatively fast metal-facilitated phosphorescence, Ir(III) complexes may additionally benefit from the TADF mechanism, leading to even larger radiative rate constants kr. The typical features of such complexes that emerge are (i) dinuclearity, (ii) significant overlap between the absorption and emission spectra, and (iii) radiative decay rates kr > 106 s–1 at RT. Our findings suggest that, due to the presence of 1,3MLCT states the ΔEST of many Ir(III) complexes is sufficiently small to allow the re-population of their S1 states at RT. Nevertheless, if the f(S1->S0) has low singlet oscillator strength, the effect of TADF on the luminescence may be insignificant. Hence, whilst TADF might be widespread among Ir(III) complexes, its effect on photoluminescence may often be negligible. As luminescent iridium(III) complexes are common in various areas of study, this work may disrupt research on a broader scale beyond the immediate realm of photophysics.

Published: September 2024

Retrieving structured materials information from unstructured textual data is essential for data mining and automatically developing comprehensive ontologies. Information extraction is a complex task composed of multiple subtasks and thus often relies on systems of task-specialized language models. A foundation language model can in principle address not only a variety of those subtasks but also a range of domains without the need of generating costly large-scale annotated datasets for each downstream task. While the materials science domain, which is adversely affected by data scarcity, would strongly benefit from this, foundation language models struggle with information extraction subtasks in domain-specific settings. This applies also to the so-called named entity recognition (NER) subtask which aims to detect relevant entity types in natural language. This work aims to assess whether foundation large language models (LLMs) can successfully perform NER in the materials mechanics and fatigue domain to alleviate the data annotation burden. Specifically, we compare the few-shot prompting of foundation LLMs with the current state-of-the-art, fine-tuned task-specific NER models. The study is performed on two materials fatigue datasets which contain annotations at a comparatively fine-grained level. Both datasets cover adjacent domains to assess how well both NER methodologies generalize when presented with typical domain shifts. Task-specific models are shown to significantly outperform general foundation models. However, the GPT-4 foundation model attains promising F1-scores with the proposed two-stage prompting strategy despite being provided with only ten demonstrations. Under those circumstances, it outperformed task-specific models for some rather general entity types. Different ways onwards to improve foundation LLM-based NER are discussed. Our findings reveal a strong dependence on the quality of few-shot demonstrations in ICL to handle domain-shift. The study also highlights the significance of domain-specific pre-training by comparing task-specific models that differ primarily in their pre-training corpus.
Large language models design sequence-defined macromolecules via evolutionary optimization
Authors: Reinhart Wesley , Statt Antonia
Published: September 2024

We demonstrate the ability of a large language model to perform evolutionary optimization for materials discovery. Anthropic's Claude 3.5 model outperforms an active learning scheme with handcrafted surrogate models and an evolutionary algorithm in selecting monomer sequences to produce targeted morphologies in macromolecular self-assembly. Utilizing pre-trained language models can potentially reduce the need for hyperparameter tuning while offering new capabilities such as self-reflection. The model performs this task effectively with or without context about the task itself, but domain-specific context sometimes results in faster convergence to good solutions. Furthermore, when this context is withheld, the model infers an approximate notion of the task (e.g., calling it a protein folding problem). This work provides evidence of Claude 3.5's ability to act as an evolutionary optimizer, a recently discovered emergent behavior of large language models, and demonstrates a practical use case in the study and design of soft materials.
Constrained Nuclear-Electronic Orbital Transition State Theory Using Energy Surfaces with Nuclear Quantum Effects
Authors: Chen Zehua , Zheng Jingjing , Truhlar Donald , Yang Yang
Published: September 2024

Hydrogen-atom transfer is crucial in a myriad of chemical and biological processes, yet the accurate and efficient description of hydrogen-atom transfer reactions and kinetic isotope effects remains challenging due to significant quantum effects on hydrogenic motion, especially tunneling and zero-point energy. In this paper, we combine transition state theory (TST) with the recently developed constrained nuclear-electronic orbital (CNEO) theory to propose a new transition state theory denoted CNEO-TST. We use CNEO-TST with CNEO density functional theory (CNEO-DFT) to predict reaction rate constants for two prototypical gas-phase hydrogen-atom transfer reactions and their deuterated isotopologic reactions. The CNEO-TST is similar to conventional TST except that it employs constrained minimized energy surfaces to include zero-point energy and shallow tunneling effects in the effective potential. We find that the new theory predicts reaction rates quite accurately at room temperature. The effective potential surface must be generated by CNEO theory rather than by ordinary electronic structure theory, but because of the favorable computational scaling of CNEO-DFT, the cost will remain economical even for large systems. Our results show that dynamics calculations with this approach achieve accuracy comparable to variational TST with a semiclassical multidimensional tunneling transmission coefficient at and above room temperature. Therefore, CNEO-TST can be a useful tool for rate prediction, even for reactions involving highly quantal motion, such as many chemical and biochemical reactions involving transfers of hydrogen atoms, protons, or hydride ions.
Roles of Chemical Species Transport and Transformation in the Biophysics of Human Pathophysiology
Authors: Olanrewaju Kazeem , Ford Versypt Ashlee N.
Published: September 2024

The human physiological system consists of several biological units carefully organized to engage in a bio-physicochemical interaction with complex fluids transporting nutritional and life-supporting species (oxygen and carbon dioxide) needed for the proper functioning of the body. The nutritional species are products of the chemical and mechanical transformation of macromolecular compounds such as polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids into simple molecules such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids. Life-supporting species access the body via ventilation and respiration. Alteration of these mechanisms, which include distortion in bioactive species transport and transformational processes, the influx of diet deficient of vitamins and nutrients needed for homeostasis, and pathogens considered foreign to the body, are precursors to most human pathophysiological conditions. This review focus on the roles of chemical species transport and transformation and their interactions with tissue structure and biomechanics in the causative mechanisms of an array of pathophysiological conditions considered as the world’s leading causes of death. Improved understanding of these roles will substantially assist in shaping and formulating a framework for multi-scale modelers and researchers interested in the quantitative description of chemical species transport and transformation in the biophysics of human physiology and pathophysiology.

A New Space in Corpus-assisted Literary Translation Analyses: Examining the Reasons Behind Literary Metaphors and Their Translations
Authors:   Hong Kong Baptist University, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, Zhou Ruiqi
Published: September 2024

This study explores the synergy between corpus linguistics and literary translation analysis by examining metaphors in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) and its notable Chinese translation. Specifically, the research focuses on the Mapping Principles (MPs) from Ahrens' Conceptual Mapping Model to hypothesize the rationale behind metaphor translations. By analyzing the lexemes associated with key metaphors, the study uncovers the pyschological shifts between the source text (ST) and the target text (TT). The findings reveal that while principal mappings in the ST and TT may appear identical, the MPs behind these mappings differ significantly, reflecting distinct narrative framing processes. The study contributes to literary translation studies by demonstrating how corpus-assisted examinations of MPs can provide fresh insights into the psychological dimensions of translation, particularly in the context of metaphor usage. Keywords: Corpus Linguistics, Literary Translation, Metaphor Translation.

Authors: Wong Lucy , Askew Catherine , Sowden Katherine , Dempster-Rivett Kieran , Malez Valerio
Published: September 2024

aim: Endometrial cancer (EC) is increasing in incidence in women across Aotearoa New Zealand as risk factors such as obesity and diabetes become more prevalent. In 2022, a Rapid Access Clinic (RAC) for hysteroscopy was implemented at Te Whatu Ora Counties Manukau District to increase early detection of EC. method: Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were used to test and implement RAC supported by a nurse pre-procedural phone consultation. Quantitative data was collected alongside patient experiences of the pre-procedural telephone call. results: A total of 207 women successfully completed RAC, which enabled one less visit to clinic per patient, subsequent travel cost savings (NZ$35,959) and a decrease in CO2 emissions (1,782kg). Lead time from first specialist appointment (FSA) to outpatient (OP) hysteroscopy, previously 25 days (SD: 21 days), was eliminated. Wait time from referral to provisional diagnosis increased from 26 days to 31 days; however, standard variation reduced from 30 days to 15 days. Clinician productivity increased by 25% per hysteroscopy session. Twenty-six out of 30 patients reported positive experiences of their pre-procedural RAC phone consultation. Twenty-seven out of 207 women were diagnosed with endometrial cancer from RAC. conclusion: RAC are patient-centric and have demonstrated valuable benefits for both clinicians and women with a high suspicion of EC.

aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing COVID-19 outcomes when the Omicron variant was predominant in Aotearoa New Zealand. methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using routinely available data (8 December 2020–28 February 2023). We evaluated the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of COVID-19 vaccines using the Cox proportional-hazards model, adjusting for covariates. results: The VE against COVID-19 hospitalisation (VEH) for the second booster dose compared to no vaccination was found to be 81.8% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 73.6–87.5) after 1 month post-vaccination. After 4 months, VEH was 72.2% (95% CI: 58.5–81.4), and after 6 months VEH was 49.0% (95% CI: 7.9–71.8). Similarly, VEH decreased after the first booster dose (1-month VEH=81.6% [95% CI: 75.6–86.1]; 2 months VEH=74.7% [95% CI: 68.2–79.9]; and 6 months VEH=57.4% [95% CI: 45.8–66.6]). VE against COVID-19 death (VED) was 92.9% (95% CI: 82.1–97.2) 2 months after the first booster vaccination, with VED being sustained until months 5 and 6 (VED=87.2%; 95% CI: 67.4–94.9). The VE after the second dose of the vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (VEI) (real-time polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]) was sustained at 5 months post-vaccination (40.6%; 95% CI: 25.6–52.5). conclusion: We provide a comprehensive quantification of both VE and VE waning. These findings can guide policymakers to help evaluate the COVID-19 vaccination programme and minimise the effect of future COVID-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Describing Violence To Police: Negotiating Culpability and Victimhood - A Single Case Analysis
Authors:   , Wolmarans Megwyn
Published: September 2024

This study explores the challenges encountered by an individual during help-seeking for family harm and violence when describing a violent incident to the Police. It emphasises the negotiation of victimhood, justification for assistance, and the management of culpability. Despite previous research on interpersonal communication in emergency calls, there remains a gap in understanding the intricate dynamics of these situations and the nuanced gendered aspects involved. This analysis seeks to shed light on the complexities of emergency communication with and beyond gender-specific experiences.

Utilising conversation analysis (CA) for a single-case examination, this study reveals the linguistic strategies the caller employs when narrating a violent incident to the Police. Key strategies include negotiation of victimhood, acknowledgment of involvement with rejected culpability, and the minimisation and denial of violence. The caller strategically constructs a narrative, emphasising his victimhood and justifying his need for help. The focus of this analysis extends beyond gender to encompass the general challenges individuals encounter in using these linguistic strategies to receive help, but the insights gained provide a nuanced understanding of the communication dynamics in descriptions of violence and where gender may become relevant. The significance of this analysis extends beyond the individual case, offering insights into the interactive challenges individuals face when narrating experiences of violence. While the findings provide a nuanced understanding of the difficulties faced by this specific caller, the research does not aim for generalisability. Instead, it contributes to a broader comprehension of the dynamics involved when individuals, often hesitant to report violence, seek help. This research underscores the importance of recognising and understanding the complexities individuals face in describing experiences of violence, particularly within the context of help-seeking. By unravelling the linguistic strategies employed in emergency call discourse, the study contributes to the development of more effective support systems for individuals navigating the challenging terrain of violence narration and assistance-seeking behaviour. Understanding the challenges in help-seeking for family harm and violence, particularly from the perspective of men, is crucial for developing effective support systems. The study addresses an important gap in the literature, paving the way for more nuanced and gender-sensitive approaches to emergency communication and support.

Authors: Rajkumar Johnson , Deepika Gurumayum
Published: September 2024

Music has played a significant role in film narratives since cinema exhibition started in theatres. This paper explores the influence of traditional folk music, specifically Pena Phamshak, on the narrative and cultural history of Manipuri cinema. It highlights how traditional folk music of Manipur transcends its conventional role to become an integral storytelling device, enriching the cinematic experience by embedding cultural context and emotional depth to the film. Focusing on S.N. Chand’s film Brojendragee Luhongba (1973), the study examines how the incorporation of Pena music enhances the narrative and emphasizes the tension between tradition and modernity in the film. The film uses traditional folk music performance of Pena Phamshak not merely as background score but as a symbolic element that underscores cultural identity. This unique narrative performance has its historical significance and role in preserving Manipuri oral traditions, particularly the epic of Khamba-Thoibi. The film draws symbolic parallel between the film’s love story and that of the story narrated through the folk performance which illustrates the thematic resonance and cultural continuity that Pena music brings to Manipuri cinema. It also highlights the transformative power of traditional folk music, demonstrating how it serves as a vital tool for cultural preservation and storytelling in the context of Manipuri cinema.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WRITING SKILLS IN MEITEILON (L1) AND ENGLISH (L2) AMONG HIGHER SECONDARY STUDENTS IN MANIPUR
Authors: Chenglei Wairokpam Yaiphaba
Published: September 2024

There has always been discussion among academics, policymakers, and educators over the impact of mother tongue, or first language (L1), on second language (L2) acquisition or learning. Reaching a level of competence similar to that of a native speaker is the aim of teaching second language. Almost all Indian languages are structured in a subject-object-verb (SOV) pattern, while English uses a subject-verb-object (SVO) patter. Further, many English words of the same spelling perform different parts of speech with different meanings. As a result of this confusion, it remains a big challenge for learners of English as a second language in written skills. Writing skills improve our ability to communicate and think. It also improves our capacity to clarify and improve our concepts for both ourselves and other people. Writing abilities are crucial for effective communication. Whether a mother tongue can help, fails to help, or actually impedes written communication skills in English has been the subject of extensive research. The present paper is making an attempt to analyse the writing skills of Meiteilon (L1) and English language (L2).
SINGING THE SONGS OF SORROW: A STUDY OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY THROUGH RIMA DAS’ BULBUL CAN SING
Authors: Devi Medha , Ved Prakash
Published: September 2024

The paper examines Rima Das’ film Bulbul Can Sing (2018) from the perspective of gender and sexuality. Made in Assamese, it is a coming-of-age story of three friends who have to find their identity, sexuality, and voice through the odds of society. The women characters in the film actively indulge in dialogue and question the traditional patriarchal norms. Indian cinema has mostly constructed a binary with active male and passive female; in this film, the binary is dismantled. The film also subverts the male gaze, making the female not an object of desire but someone who has control over their desires and fantasies. It is a fact that women have to struggle to find their way within the oppressive social framework, and men too have to succumb to the dominant idea of being. Apart from exploring the trope of ‘Women’s Cinema’ and cinema by women filmmakers in India, the paper studies the cinematic shots regarding Bulbul Can Sing to decode various natural tropes and images used as part of the narrative, keeping Auteur theory in mind. The paper also looks into the dominion of female desire and agency concerning Rima Das’s cinema. The paper examines how patriarchy works regressively towards creating and circulating the idea of masculine and feminine. The last part of the paper deals with the issues of patriarchy and toxic masculinity and the impact of the same on the larger mobility of individuals within the social fabric.

Authors: Sinha Versha , Khare Ajay
Published: September 2024

This study explores the evolving progression of temple architecture in the Gopakshetra region during the 10th and 12th centuries AD and its significant influence on the urban landscape of that time. This study examines the modifications adopted by temple builders when responding to evolving parameters and functions. It provides useful insights that can be used to inform current urban transformation initiatives. During this historical period, temples emerged as versatile centers, serving not only as sites of religious worship but also as centers for cultural activities, education, and communal gatherings. They played crucial roles in influencing the social structure and physical layout of historical urban regions. Temple architecture and its purposes underwent changes as urban centers grew and societal needs developed. This study examines several temple placements, temple’s social influence, inscriptions, and architectural elements to demonstrate the evolution of temples over time and their coexistence with the evolving urban environment. The text emphasizes the ability of temples to adjust and meet changing rituals, societal needs, and urban expansion while still maintaining their historical importance. The major findings shed light on the seamless integration of temples in Gopakshetra with their evolving urban setting.

Published: September 2024

In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, the effective analysis of structured and unstructured data is crucial for enhancing disease diagnosis, patient outcomes, and overall healthcare management. This paper presents a novel approach, Competitive Ensemble Deep Learning (CEDL), designed to optimize healthcare data analysis by leveraging multiple deep learning models. Unlike traditional ensemble methods that combine weak and strong models, CEDL selectively integrates only the most effective models based on their performance, thereby improving classification accuracy and efficiency. The proposed method is tested on various healthcare datasets, demonstrating its superiority in handling both structured data, such as patient records, and unstructured data, including social media sentiment analysis. The results show significant improvements in predictive accuracy, making CEDL a robust and scalable solution for complex healthcare data analysis.

In Mexico, corn (Zea mays L.) is the most important crop due to its sown area (7.4 million ha), its consumption of more than 200 kg person-1 year-1 and its role in the economy. However, Mexico imports 15.5 to 17 million t of yellow corn grain each year, these volumes are mainly destined for the livestock feed industry, as well as other destinations. In the Central Mexican Plateau (2 200 to 2 600 masl), in 1.5 million hectares sown with corn, in more than 50% of that area, the moisture for the crop comes from rainfall, which arrives late, insufficient and irregular, this forces late sowing and the crop to be affected by early frosts, since long-cycle varieties do not reach maturity and yields are low (1.2 t ha-1). In 2021, Kuautli Puma, Mistli UNAM, and Coztli Puma were registered, corn varieties that could support grain production as they present earliness and high productivity in conditions of delayed rainfall, limiting environments, late sowing, and short frost-free period. This variety description describes the phenotypic characteristics and agronomic advantages of the yellow-grain free-pollinated variety named Coztli Puma. This variety yields an average of 7.9 t ha-1 and is an alternative for corn producers in Valles Altos. Coztli Puma was registered in the national catalog of plant varieties (CNVV, for its acronym in Spanish) and holds the breeder’s title: 2849, granted on December 21, 2021.

Um dos temas que comumente provoca debates a respeito do povo cigano é a descontinuidade do grupo junto aos sistemas formais de educação. Afinal, porque os povos ciganos, sobretudo as mulheres, se afastam tão cedo do ambiente escolar? Vivendo em um modelo social próprio, para a etnia cigana, conviver com a comunidade não-cigana é, muitas vezes, um imenso desafio. O ambiente escolar, a exemplo, caracteriza um destes espaços onde o grupo acredita colocar em risco a preservação da sua identidade. Dessa forma, buscam limitar a frequência, especialmente das meninas, aos primeiros anos formativos. Por outro lado, com questões que perpassam pela regulamentação do sistema de ensino; pela matriz curricular; pelo despreparo de educadoras/es e outros, o sistema de ensino ainda não está preparado para acolher a etnia cigana. Instigado por questões como estas, o presente trabalho propõe-se a estimular uma reflexão junto ao sistema de educação brasileiro.
