Revolutionizing Justice: Unleashing the Power of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Hodge Samuel D.
Published: January 2024

The practice of law is changing, and most lawyers are unprepared for this metamorphosis. This statement is not an exaggeration but the acknowledgment that artificial intelligence (“AI”) has altered the way lawyers do business. Instead of having a “battle of forms,” attorneys will now be confronted with the “battle of computers.” Linking artificial intelligence and the law, however, is a natural progression. Both operate in similar fashions: each examines and applies “historical examples in order to infer rules to apply to new situations.”

While many attorneys are unsure how to integrate this new technology into their practices, they already use some form of AI without knowing it. Conducting a Google search for opposing counsel or experts are examples of the use of artificial intelligence. The same is true for using Westlaw or Lexis to retrieve a case on a particular point of law. Similarly, accessing a court’s website to look up a docket requires the use of computer learning. These examples are simple applications, but artificial intelligence continues to evolve. New uses allow attorneys to employ AI to write contracts and to use natural language to obtain answers about a point of law. This evolution makes it essential for attorneys to ascertain what data is obtainable and how to utilize that material in representing a client.

This article will provide a primer on how AI transforms the legal arena. Following an explanation of how the technology operates, various examples will be provided on how machine learning can benefit attorneys, from contract drafting to improving client relations. The ethical and legal issues presented by AI will also be explored.
Cryptocurrency’s Clash with Bankruptcy: Insolvent Crypto Exchange Companies Create Difficulties for Courts & Customers
Authors: Stanberry Mary Taylor
Published: January 2024

This comment explores the novelty of cryptocurrency, its legal ambiguity in the realms of securities, property, and tax law, and the difficulties arising from insolvent crypto-exchange company’s estates within the context of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For the purposes of this comment, individuals who invested in crypto-exchange platforms will be referred to as “customers” rather than “investors” to avoid potential confusion in the context of 11 U.S.C. § 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. Customers who invested with insolvent crypto-exchange companies are concerned about being last in line for repayment of their investments based on traditional bankruptcy creditor priority. These concerns, combined with the alleged mismanagement and undercapitalization of many insolvent crypto-exchange companies, have introduced new issues of legal interpretation and the weighing of various policy concerns both within and outside of the bankruptcy process. By examining the bankruptcy process, the history of cryptocurrency, and analyzing several current cases of insolvent crypto-exchange companies, this comment explores the multi-faceted issues surrounding cryptocurrency as well as the need for guidance and clarity of cryptocurrency’s classification for the purposes of bankruptcy law.

Authors: Verma Vikrant
Published: January 2024

Seven cyano 4-quinolone derivatives were synthesized 2 (A-G) and the synthesized compound's antibacterial activity was tested. Structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds was carried out by their mass, infrared and N.M.R analysis. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against six bacterial strains e.g. Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After the analysis of the antibacterial activity, it was inferred that compounds 2C and 2G were found to be more active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and are found to be potential candidates for the antibacterial drug. A different approach of replacing the 6th position fluorine of the quinolone ring with the cyanide group was carried out. Compound 2E was found to be the most active with MIC values of 0.0047, 0.0031, 0.0013, 0.0011, 0.0008, 0.012 respectively. This research leads to the development of cyano4-quinolones.

Authors: Kallesha N. , Prasad Ningegowda , Mahadeva Swamy M. , Ramu Gnanendra Chikkamagalur
Published: January 2024

Our current research is focused on the kinetics and mechanistic of oxcarbazepine (OXZ) in the presence of sodium-N-chloro-benzene sulphonamide or chloramine-B (CAB) at 308 K in HCl medium. We found that the kinetics of the reaction obeys a first-order dependency on [CAB]0 and fractional order dependence on [substrate]0 and [HCl]. Benzene sulphonamide addition and change in ionic strength have no substantial effect on the rate. Arrhenius plots were used to assess the thermodynamic parameters of the reaction at five different temperatures. Based on the chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis, the oxidation product imine was predicted to have a stoichiometry of 1:1. Based on the observed results, we have deduced the rate law associated with the mechanism.

Bonding of Aluminium to Low Carbon Steel using an Overcasting Process
Authors: VALIZADEH ALIREZA , Chang Isaac , Stone Ian
Published: January 2024

To reduce the weight of a vehicle and improve its fuel efficiency, it is preferable to produce its body in aluminium in place of steel. However, designs may require hybrid structures of aluminium and steel, and there remains a challenge to make a sound bond between the two metals due to their differences in physical, mechanical and metallurgical properties. In the present work, the effect of a zinc coating on the diffusion behaviour between liquid aluminium and a steel substrate was studied. A cost-effective overcasting process was used to cast commercially pure aluminium around uncoated mild steel and 20 µm thick zinc coated steel samples. A reaction layer of similar composition and crystal structure was found between the aluminium and the steel in both cases. SEM-EDS characterisation showed that the reaction layer consisted of 73 at.% aluminium and 28 at.% iron. Moreover, EBSD analysis confirmed that the reaction layer corresponded to the Al13Fe4 phase. The thickness of the reaction layer increased with the presence of the zinc coating as compared to uncoated steel sample. The reason for enhanced reaction layer thickness is believed to be caused by improved wetting of molten aluminium on the zinc coated steel.

Published: January 2024

Photocatalysis for small molecule activation has seen significant advancements over the past decade, yet its scale-up remains a challenge due to photon attenuation effects. A promising solution lies in harnessing high photonic intensities paired with continuous-flow reactor technology. However, a deep grasp of photon transport is essential, typically demanding resource-intensive experiments. To address this, we introduce an innovative approach to photochemical reactor setup characterization, starting with radiometric light source analysis and progressing to a 3D reactor simulation for photon flux determination. Contrary to conventional techniques that prioritize complete photon absorption, our technique operates optimally when the reaction mixture is unsaturated. This strategy decouples photon flux and path length determination, substantially curtailing the experimental process. The workflow proves versatile across various reactor systems, simplifying intricate light interactions into a single one-dimensional parameter, i.e., the effective optical path length. Combined with the photon flux, this parameter effectively characterizes photochemical setups, irrespective of scale, geometry, light intensity, or photocatalyst concentration. Employing radiometry further offers insights into light source positioning and reactor design, and obviates the need for repeated chemical actinometry measurements due to light source degradation. Additionally, the proposed workflow facilitates experiments at lower concentrations, ensuring optimal reactor operation. In essence, our approach provides a thorough, efficient, and consistent framework for reactor irradiation characterization.

Published: January 2024

The transport of ions through the anion exchange membrane (AEM) depends on the overall energy barriers imposed by the collective interplay of ion channel architecture. The efficient transport of water and ions can be observed ubiquitously in plants. Inspired by the pectin in nature, we developed a spatially topological strategy for designing high-performance AEMs. To achieve precision control at the molecular level, several spatially topological molecules such as triptycene and 9,9’-spirobifluorene were utilized as single or dual framework centers for the anion exchange membrane. By manipulating the ratio of triptycene and 9,9’-spirobifluorene in the polymer, a high ionic conductivity (197.4 mS cm-1 at 80 °C) and an exceedingly low swelling ratio (8.6% at 80 °C) can be attained. The present AEM-WEs achieved a new record high current density of 8.4 A cm−2 at 2.0 V with a 1 M KOH at 80 °C using platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts, which surpassed that of state-of-the-art proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEM-WEs) (~ 6 A cm−2 at 2.0 V) and operated stably at a current density of 2 A cm−2 with a cell voltage of 1.8 V for more than 600 h at 60 °C. Notably, when we used the cell with five stacked PGM-free based membrane (T4-1.0-0.5, 80 μm) electrodes, a hydrogen production rate of 0.54 Nm3 h−1 was achieved. The industrial system demonstrates a high level of efficiency and stability while operating under working conditions with a current density of 1 A cm-2 at 2 V.

The lowest significant repellency values for plant extract and EOs after 1 hour were 50% and 52% at 5% concentration. SiNPs and AgNPs have similar repellency values across exposure times. SiNPs and AgNPs had 40% repellency at 100 ppm after 1 hour compared to the control. After 1 hour of exposure, SiNPs had 2% repellency and AgNPs 4% at 100 ppm. Phytotoxicity tests showed that wheat grains did not affect seed germination characteristics or biological measurements. In treated wheat grains, most germination and biological indices increased. This shows that these treatments did not kill the wheat embryo. These findings suggest that these treatments could protect grains, particularly wheat, for human consumption, animal feed, or agricultural cultivation.

Wheat flour is one of the main food sources of mycotoxin exposure, hence its safety warrants investigation. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and Deoxynivalenol (DON), specifically, and their levels of contamination in wheat flour samples from ration wheat flour samples in Sulaimani City, Kurdistan, Iraq, were examined in the current study. According to the findings of the fungal study, Penicillium (35%) infected the bulk of the samples, with Aspergillus (27%) and Rhizopus (17%) coming in second and third, respectively, and Alternaria (9%), Fusarium (6%), Helminthosporium (4%), Mucor (1%), and Cladosporium (1%).In November and December, the number of molds reached intolerable heights. The findings of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test revealed that AFB1 was present in varying amounts in 100% of the wheat flour samples. AFB1 surpassed the 2 μgkg-1 maximum permissible quantity in 37.5% of samples, particularly in November and December. In terms of DON, 100% of samples were contaminated with DON without going over the 750 μgkg-1 EU limit.

This study aims to examine more deeply the opinion of Imam ash-Shafi'i regarding the pilgrimage for women without a mahram, and then see its relevance in today's times. Imam ash-Shafi'i has opinion that a mahram or husband is not obligatory for a woman in carrying out the pilgrimage, but on condition that the woman is protected from harming her body and soul and her honor. The majority of fiqh scholars are of the opinion that women must be accompanied by their mahram to perform the pilgrimage. According to the provisions of the Shari'ah, a woman may not travel alone but must be accompanied by her husband or mahram. Even the al-Hanafiyah school of thought argues that a mahram for women is a mandatory requirement for Hajj. This study is in the form of a character study categorized as library research. It used secondary data, either in the form of primary materials, tertiary secondary. Data analysis used heuristic, critics (internal and external), interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study suggest that Imam asy-Syafi'i's opinion which emphasizes law based on its 'illat, namely the factor of women's safety is very relevant to current conditions.

Abnormal weather owing to climate change has become commonplace. Large and small floods have steadily occurred annually, increasing damage owing to flooding of agricultural land. Recently, owing to torrential rain, three of four rainwater pumping stations installed in Cheongyang-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, had failed to operate properly, thereby flooding several buildings and facility houses. In this study, an analytical study was conducted on the performance characteristics of centrifugal submersible pumps according to changes in the discharge flow rate. The results confirmed that the efficiency of the submersible pump for the experiment and analysis was within ±3.4% with the discharge flow rate.
