Characterisation Analysis of Sulphur and Phosphorous Doped and Co-doped Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C3N4) Materials
Authors: Abbas Sabba , Khurshid Hafsa , Irfan Muhammad , Aamir Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is tailored with doping of different non-metals (Sulphur and Phosphorus). For synthesis through thermal condensation method, the mixtures of urea and dopant with diverse concentrations have been added for preparation of materials. The basic effect of doping and its concentration on the structural morphology and absorption spectra of the samples is investigated in detail. Pure g-C3N4 suffers from high recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs resulting in low photocatalytic activity. Different techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) have been used for the characterization. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the formation of the g-C3N4 structure and SEM images reveal crumpled sheets and irregular plate like shapes of the doped graphitic nitride samples. FTIR analysis identify the presence of surface amino (N-H) and water (O-H) groups, cyano terminal group (C≡N), (C≡C), C–N) and (C=N) bonds and breathing mode of the tri-s-triazine units in the samples. PL spectra shows that the sulphur and phosphorus co-doped PSGCN (8 wt.%) sample is better for photocatalytic activity.

Authors: Naz Aiddah , Ullah Qasim , Khan Banaras
Published: September 2024

The electronic and thermoelectric properties of AB3 (A =Pr, Nd and B=In) materials (crystallizing in the cubic structure) having space group Pm-3m (221) are studied using B3PW91 hybrid functional through the Full-Potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) approach within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). The calculated lattice parameters for PrIn3 and NdIn3 are 4.5668 Å and 4.5539 Å respectively. Electron-electron correlation effect is due to the 4f orbitals present in these materials and therefore, with the use of B3PW91 hybrid functional, band structure and density of states are calculated. When analyzing electron charge density, these materials showed a stronger ionic character. Band structure and density of state analysis confirms the metallic nature of the materials. Using the semi-empirical Boltzmann approach implemented in the BoltzTraP code, the thermoelectric parameters, such as Seebeck coefficient, figure of merit, electrical conductivity per relaxation time, and electronic thermal conductivity per relaxation time as a function of chemical potential, were computed at 500 K temperature gradient. PrIn3 showed highest Seebeck coefficient value, 50.68 μV/K among these compounds. The peak value of electrical conductivity per relaxation time and electronic thermal conductivity per relaxation time among these compounds is calculated for NdIn3 is 2.43 x 1020 1/Ωms and 22.50×1014 W/mKs.
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of the HardSPEC environmental exposure model for pesticide regulatory assessments
Authors: Yates Timothy , McNally Kevin
Published: September 2024

HardSPEC is an environmental fate model that predicts concentrations of pesticides in surface and groundwater following application on hard surfaces, such as roads, pavements and railway tracks, and a subsequent series of rainfall events; such pesticide use is typically of herbicides used for weed control. HardSPEC is used by HSE to assess the risk of, and take decisions related to, herbicide application. In this project we implemented the model in Matlab, a scientific programming language, and verified that the results precisely matched the results from the spreadsheet implementation. We developed a sensitivity analysis framework that varies the values of any of the parameters automatically and records the predicted concentrations
REFORMULANDO O JOGO TRIBUTÁRIO: DESAFIOS E SOLUÇÕES NAS TRANSAÇÕES DE GAMES ON-LINE
Authors: Chalhoub Joseph Murta
Published: September 2024

In recent years, computer games have gained widespread popularity, driven by technological advancements and internet expansion, leading to the prevalence of on-line gaming and the decline of physical media. The taxation of these games has become a debated issue, particularly regarding the differentiation between off-the-shelf and custom software. In 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court deemed software taxable as services. Uncertainties have arisen regarding in-game transactions, encompassing the acquisition of goods, rights, or financial operations. This article aims to understand whether transactions in on-line games qualify as the acquisition of goods or services, determining the applicable taxes, considering the Brazilian legal landscape post-Tax Reform. Specific objectives include grasping technical distinctions between goods, commodities, and services; conceptualizing and distinguishing software and on-line games from a technological perspective; outlining types of transactions in on-line games to support their legal classification; understanding the Supreme Court's rationale on software as services; and analyzing the impact of the Tax Reform on the taxation of in-game transactions. The research, characterized as pure and explanatory, employs a qualitative approach, deductive method, and bibliographic/documentary procedures. It concludes that the accurate taxation of on-line gaming transactions is a significant source of legal uncertainty, stemming from the classification and legality of tax incidence. The Tax Reform, by instituting a single tax for operations involving goods, services, and rights, holds the potential to resolve these uncertainties, rendering unnecessary the determination of the nature of operations for tax purposes.

Practicing asylum seekers’ reception among tensions, recompositions and discoveries
Authors: Michelon Elisa , Storato Giulia
Published: September 2024

In the last years forced migrations flows have been increasing on the national territory, leading to changes in the reception system for refugees and asylum seekers. Within this system, which is still evolving, the two authors worked performing different professional roles (as psychologist and as social worker). In this article we presented, as an autobiographical tale, the tensions, the fractures and the re-compositions, both personal and of our role, we experienced in our everyday work. Starting from an analysis of the reception system’s structure and of the power dynamics embedded in it, we describe the daily efforts in opening spaces for the recognition of received people’s agency, facilitated by a change in our positioning. Self-reflexivity, and the consequent availability to challenge the dominant representations, is presented as a methodology that allows to open new interpretative spaces and to re-think not only the relationship with the received people, but also the relationship with the wider “diversities”.
Engaging host society youth in exploring how they construe the influence of social media on the resettlement of Syrian refugees
Authors: Naffi Nadia , Davidson Ann-Louise
Published: September 2024

It is often difficult for youth to recognize and share their construct systems let alone to discuss how these systems guide their thoughts and behaviours. The purpose of this methodological article is two-fold: firstly, it aims to present and detail four interview techniques we adapted from Personal Construct Psychology, to use in a physically co-located or in an online approach, with 42 participants between 16 and 24 years-old from a variety of North American and European countries affected by the Syrian refugee influx; secondly it presents a five-step approach to data analysis, with the aim to develop an in-depth understanding of the participants’ construct systems. Our objective was to explore how this youth construed online interactions about the Syrian refugee crisis and how they anticipated the influence of social media content on the resettlement of Syrian refugees in host countries.
Western Reporting in the Middle East: The Dilemma of Local Arab Reporters
Authors: Al-Nasrawi Salah
Published: September 2024

Ever since Mark Twain’s sojourn to the Holy Land and Egypt in 1867, much has been said about Western journalists and writers who report on the Middle East—a great deal of which has been met with suspicion and sometimes resentment in the Arab world. Far less has been said, however, about an issue that is central and consequential to Middle East reporting: the role of local Arab reporters who work at mainstream Western media organizations and who cover the region alongside their Western colleagues. After a career of nearly thirty years at international news organizations in my home country, Iraq, and across the Middle East, I have lived and witnessed firsthand the contribution of local reporters in adding to the West’s understanding of the region, despite the enormous constraints and challenges they face. The participation of local reporters in international media operations dates back to the period following the First World War when most of the Levant was colonized by the two European victors, Britain and France. In this period, major Western media organizations set up permanent or long-term operations in the Middle East, ushering in, I argue, a new form of Orientalism in the post-colonialist world. In this article, I will look at the attitudes and practices of these organizations toward locally hired reporters, revealing a system that, at its most fundamental, favors Western narratives about the Middle East as described in the writings of Edward Said and Michael Foucault on the correlation between knowledge and power.

Published: September 2024

Shale mechanics is a critical field in the drilling process, especially during deep drilling and the development of unconventional resources, where shale formations present various challenges. Given the diverse and multi-scale nature of shale, mechanical characteristics such as brittleness, fracture toughness, and stress behavior must be effectively controlled to ensure wellbore stability, optimize fracture treatments, and enhance drilling efficiency. Key areas of interest in this review include wellbore stability, hydraulic fracturing methods, and the application of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The current literature was extensively reviewed, with an emphasis on major papers addressing various aspects of shale mechanics. The appropriate selection of fluid and mud weight has been identified as critical for maintaining wellbore stability. Despite advances in hydraulic fracturing technology that have improved production efficiency, environmental concerns - particularly regarding water usage and chemical management - remain significant. Furthermore, the integration of AI and ML has enhanced production forecasts and resource estimation, though challenges related to data quality and availability persist. A review of the current state of knowledge in shale mechanics indicates that further progress will require improved geomechanical models, advanced monitoring tools, and environmentally sustainable strategies.

New Frontiers in IBS Gut Pain Treatments
Authors:   Launchit Solutions, Haller Andrew ,   University of Toronto
Published: September 2024

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort in combination with disturbed bowel habits in the absence of identifiable organic cause. It is considered a functional disorder where complex neuroimmune and brain-gut interactions occur. IBS affects about 10% of the world’s population and shows a similar prevalence in Canada.1 IBS typically is diagnosed by the Rome IV set of diagnostic criteria, which includes abdominal pain associated with defecation (≥1 day per week for ≥3 months) associated with change in bowel habit for at least three months and can be further subtyped by stool consistency. Treatment strategies existing for IBS are largely focused on symptom amelioration and although beneficial, are rarely curative.

The influences of group behavior on pedestrian evacuation under zero-visibility conditions are analyzed in depth by combining controlled experiments with modeling and simulation in this work. Initially, by experiments on pedestrian evacuation under zero-visibility conditions, typical evacuation behaviors are identified such as group behavior, auditory guidance behavior, and wall-following behavior. The pedestrians rely on auditory information to guide their companions in the process of forming groups. Pedestrian group behavior can be divided into three modes, the walking speeds of grouped pedestrians greatly depending on their spatial positions. By comparing and analyzing the walking speeds and evacuation times of pedestrians under different grouping modes, it is found that group behavior under zero-visibility condition reduces evacuation efficiency, while walking along the walls can improve evacuation efficiency. Subsequently, considering the movement characteristics of pedestrians in different group behavior modes, the influence mechanisms of auditory guidance and wall-following behavior on the evacuation process, a pedestrian evacuation model based on cellular automata under zero-visibility conditions is developed. Finally, the proposed model is validated by using experimental results, and simulations are conducted to analyze the influences of group behavior on the evacuation process under zero-visibility conditions. By comparing and analyzing the pedestrian movement trajectories and evacuation times during both the simulation and experiment, it is verified that the model can effectively reproduce the group evacuation processes of pedestrians under zero-visibility conditions. When auditory guidance errors are considered, pedestrians exhibit wandering behaviors in their movement trajectories. In the evacuation process, the greater the distance that pedestrians can perceive each other for grouping, the higher the probability of group formation is. As a result, groups are formed earlier, which will reduce the evacuation efficiency. This indicates that under zero-visibility conditions, group behavior exerts a negative influence on the evacuation process. This research lays a scientific foundation for formulating pedestrian evacuation strategies and schemes in similar scenarios.

Carrier mobility is a key parameter determining the response speed of charge carriers to electric fields in nanoelectronic devices. This study aims to investigate the charge carrier transport properties of monolayer IrSCl and IrSI. Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we systematically investigate the electronic structure and transport properties of monolayer IrSCl and IrSI. The phonon dispersion calculations indicate that both IrSCl and IrSI exhibit no imaginary frequencies, confirming their structural stability. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that these materials maintain thermal stability at room temperature (300 K). The evaluation of the bandgap by using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional and the hybrid HSE06 functional shows that both IrSCl and IrSI are indirect bandgap semiconductors. The bandgap values for monolayer IrSCl are 0.37 eV and 1.58 eV under the PBE functional and the HSE06 functional, respectively, while those for monolayer IrSI are 0.23 eV and 1.36 eV under the PBE functional and the HSE06 functional, respectively. We further investigate the effects of biaxial tensile strain on the bandgap. The bandgap of IrSCl and IrSI decrease with the increase of strain, respectively reaching 0.05 eV and 0.01 eV under the PBE functional at a strain of 6%, indicating a strain-induced transition to metallic behavior. According to deformation potential theory and the Boltzmann transport equation, we calculate the carrier mobility for each of monolayer IrSCl and IrSI. The predicted maximum carrier mobility at room temperature is 407.77 cm2/(V·s) for monolayer IrSCl, and 202.64 cm2/(V·s) for monolayer IrSI. Additionally, the results from the Boltzmann transport equation show that the highest mobility is 299.15 cm2/(V·s) for IrSCl and 286.41 cm2/(V·s) for IrSI. These findings suggest that both IrSCl and IrSI possess favorable electronic and transport properties, thus they have become promising candidates for future applications in the field of two-dimensional nanoelectronic devices. Notably, the combination of a moderate bandgap and high carrier mobility at room temperature indicates their potential applications in the fields of transistors, sensors, and other electronic components. This study provides valuable insights into the material properties of IrSCl and IrSI, contributing to the design of novel two-dimensional materials for electronic applications.

Recently, researchers have proven that an infinite number of Charlies and a pair of Alice and Bob can share standard tripartite nonlocality and genuinely nonsignal nonlocality by violating the Mermin and NS inequalities within tripartite systems. This discovery undoubtedly provides new perspectives and potential in quantum information science. However, it should be noted that the above-mentioned conclusion is derived on the highly idealized assumption that the quantum system is perfect and free from external disturbances. In reality, the realization of this ideal state is a challenging proposition. As a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement is susceptible to the influence of external factors, such as noise, during its practical implementation. Additionally, the process of quantum measurement can introduce potential errors, which may potentially diminish or even negate the observed quantum nonlocality. In light of the above situation, we investigate whether it is possible to share the corresponding quantum nonlocality, despite the inevitable occurrence of noise and error. This paper aims to study and discuss the persistency of nonlocality in noisy three-qubit systems. Firstly, the sufficient conditions are provided for Alice and Bob to share standard tripartite nonlocality with any number of Charlies, even when measurements are noisy and the initial three-qubit system is in a maximally entangled state with noise. This finding indicates that certain standard tripartite nonlocality can persist under non-ideal conditions as long as certain conditions are met. Moreover, this article elucidates the necessary conditions for multiple independent Charlies to share genuinely nonsignal nonlocality with a pair of Alice and Bob in a non-ideal state. This implies that despite the presence of noise and errors, this type of genuinely nonsignal nonlocality can still be securely shared among multiple parties as long as specific conditions are met. This research provides a new theoretical basis for the security and feasibility of quantum communication. The comprehensive analysis presented in this paper offers insights into the behavior of triple quantum nonlocality under noiseless conditions.

Nearly 30% of Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)s exhibit a marked overexpression of Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 (MCT1) offering a unique opportunity for therapy. However, biochemical inhibitors of MCT1 have proven unsuccessful in clinical trials. In this study we present an alternative approach using 3-Bromopyruvate (3BP) to target MCT1 overexpressing PDACs. 3BP is a cytotoxic agent that is known to be transported into cells via MCT1, but its clinical usefulness has been hampered by difficulties in delivering the drug systemically. We describe here a novel microencapsulated formulation of 3BP (ME3BP-7), that is effective against a variety of PDAC cells in vitro and remains stable in serum. Furthermore, systemically administered ME3BP-7 significantly reduces pancreatic cancer growth and metastatic spread in multiple orthotopic models of pancreatic cancer with manageable toxicity. ME3BP-7 is, therefore, a prototype of a promising new drug, in which the targeting moiety and the cytotoxic moiety are both contained within the same single small molecule.
