description: Pharmaceutical wastes are a major concern nowadays in different countries because of their toxic and hazardous effect on the environment and human health. Wide use of paracetamol is somewhat strenuous due to which degradation and detection of these analgesics in different water sources and soil samples attracted concerns from the scientific communities. Though some conventional treatments are available to degrade paracetamols, their complete mineralisation is mostly gruelling using these techniques. However, the emergence of heterogeneous nano photocatalysts help in efficient degradation of paracetamols and overcome the drawbacks of conventional methods. These nano-photocatalysts also yield non-toxic degradation products from paracetamols. The present review focuses on the basics of photocatalysts and a brief survey over a range of publications in recent years. This review also includes the advantage of nano photocatalyst over conventional methods. Modified and supported nano photocatalysts and their efficiencies in the degradation of paracetamols along with their optimisation and dosage control are briefly discussed. Moreover, different new generation catalysts such as use of low band gap inorganic nano photocatalysts and Z-scheme heterojunction systems are also comprised in the report.

description: The determination of Cr(VI) ions in real-world samples is of utmost importance due to the critical role it plays in assessing and monitoring the levels of Cr(VI) contamination in water. The present study introduces a time-saving, cost-effective, selective, highly efficient and eco-friendly analytical reagent to detect Cr(VI) ions. This study presents fabrication of immobilised 4,5-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid disodium salt dihydrate (DHNDSADNa) on a polyethylene-polyamine polyacrylonitrile (PPA) matrix for the determination of Cr(VI) ions using X-ray fluorescence, spectroscopic analysis and potentiodynamic titration methods. The findings revealed that the immobilised DHNDSADNa on the PPA matrix is a highly selective, accurate, easily regenerable, and rapid analytical reagent for the determination of Cr(VI) ions. The DHNDSADNa-anchored PPA framework demonstrated distinctive spectroscopic signals at 460 nm and 590 nm for the reagent and its complex with Cr(VI) ions, respectively. The detection limit for Cr(VI) ions was found to be 2 μg/mL, which is lower than that of DHNDSADNa in solution. Furthermore, the reagent exhibited high selectivity and efficiency for Cr(VI) ions even in the presence of other ions such as Co(II), Ni(II), Al(III), Fe(II), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Ta(V), Mn(II), and W(VI). Last but not least, the immobilised DHNDSADNa on the PPA matrix exhibits superior analytical characteristics compared to previously utilised methods, making it a promising tool for various applications in medicine, pharmacology, biology, chemistry, and engineering.

Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Saudi Arabia by van Emden (1948); Büttiker (1979); Dawah & Abdullah (2009); El-Hawagry et al. (2013; 2016; 2017). It was described from “Ostindien” [= East Indies]. In the Middle East it has been recorded from Egypt, Iraq, Israel and Oman (Pont 1980; Pont 1991; Marshall & Pont 2013).
Biological remarks. It is primarily a desert species (Büttiker 1979), recorded as pestering cattle and buffalo. It was reared from a dead tortoise (Vlassov & Stackelberg as quoted by Hennig 1964), but it can be assumed to breed usually in dung (Pont 1991). Marshall & Pont (2013) reported that M. albina demonstrates kleptoparasitic behaviour on the dung-rolling scarab beetle Scarabaeus damarensis Janssens in Namibia by ovipositing in partially buried dung balls. As far as is known this is the first record of kleptoparasitism in Muscidae. M. albina is a sunloving species feeding on sweat and other secretions, and on the faeces of domestic animals (Sychevskava 1956).

description: Applications of nanomaterials in water and wastewater treatment and in environmental clean-up operations depend on the adsorption capacity of the materials for contaminants such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs). However, on their own nanoparticles can lose effectiveness as contaminant sorbents because of flocculation and aggregation. Embedding nanoparticles within a silica matrix offers one potential solution to the problem; hence, in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) were embedded in a mesoporous silica (MCM-41) matrix to create a composite material with potential for contaminants removal from water. The composite material (ZnO-mSiO2) and original ZnO-NP were characterised via UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA, BET, and SEM techniques, and were then evaluated for their capacities to remove cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) from water samples across varying conditions (pH, initial contaminant concentration, contact time and adsorbent mass: solution volume ratios). Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were fit to the data to describe the adsorption observed. The ZnO-mSiO2 composite material proved highly effective at removing the PTEs (particularly Pb) across a wide range of conditions, with optimum removal rates achieved at pH 7 and above and 90 minutes contact time.

description: The discovery of new materials has a documented history of propelling human progress for centuries and more. The behaviour of a material is a function of its composition, structure, and properties, which further depend on its processing and testing conditions. Recent developments in deep learning and natural language processing have enabled information extraction at scale from published literature such as peer-reviewed publications, books, and patents. However, this information is spread in multiple formats, such as tables, text, and images, and with little or no uniformity in reporting style giving rise to several machine learning challenges. Here, we discuss, quantify, and document these challenges in automated information extraction (IE) from materials science literature towards the creation of a large materials science knowledge base. Specifically, we focus on IE from text and tables and outline several challenges with examples. We hope the present work inspires researchers to address the challenges in a coherent fashion, providing a fillip to IE towards developing a materials knowledge base.

Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Saudi Arabia by Pont (1991); Dawah & Abdullah (2009); El-Hawagry et al. (2018). It was described from Egypt. In the Middle East it is known from Bahrain, Oman, United Arab Emirates and Yemen (Mellor 1978; Pont 1980; 1991; Deeming 2008; Dawah & Abdullah 2009).
Biological remarks. The biology of M. (Philaematomyia) crassirostris is very similar to that of some species of stomoxyine Muscidae (Haematobia Le Peletier & Serville), although it is not a stomoxyine (Crosskey 1993). Larvae breed mainly in cow dung (Zimin 1951; Pont 1991) and horse dung (Greenberg 1973) and adults are bloodfeeders on cattle and buffalo (Deeming 2008; Patton & Cragg 1912). Thomson (1947) studied the biology of this species and noted that very fresh dung was favoured, oviposition following soon after that of Haematobia and Brontaea Kowarz. Several authors comment on the blood-feeding habits of this species. Greenberg (1973) and Pont (1991) reported that the proboscis in this species has greatly enlarged prestomal teeth with which it is able to pierce soft skin of the host to promote a flow of blood. It is an important disease-carrying species amongst stock animals (Desquesnes et al. 2018).

description: Lagrangian turbulence lies at the core of numerous applied and fundamental problems related to the physics of dispersion and mixing in engineering, bio-fluids, atmosphere, oceans, and astrophysics. Despite exceptional theoretical, numerical, and experimental efforts conducted over the past thirty years, no existing models are capable of faithfully reproducing statistical and topological properties exhibited by particle trajectories in turbulence. We propose a machine learning approach, based on a state-of-the-art diffusion model, to generate single-particle trajectories in three-dimensional turbulence at high Reynolds numbers, thereby bypassing the need for direct numerical simulations or experiments to obtain reliable Lagrangian data. Our model demonstrates the ability to reproduce most statistical benchmarks across time scales, including the fat-tail distribution for velocity increments, the anomalous power law, and the increased intermittency around the dissipative scale. Slight deviations are observed below the dissipative scale, particularly in the acceleration and flatness statistics. Surprisingly, the model exhibits strong generalizability for extreme events, producing events of higher intensity and rarity that still match the realistic statistics. This paves the way for producing synthetic high-quality datasets for pre-training various downstream applications of Lagrangian turbulence.

description: 1-(Pyridin-2-yl-hydrazonomethyl)-naphthalen-2-ol (PNOH) is a naphthalene-based fluorescence chemo-sensor for PO43-. The probe (PNOH) is spectroscopically characterised and the chemo-sensing mechanism has been demonstrated through 1H NMR, UV-Vis absorption and both steady-state and time resolved fluorescence study. Fluorescence ‘turn-on’ sensing knack of PNOH towards PO43- ion has been explained due to emission from the excited PNO– ion, formed upon transfer of phenolic proton of PNOH to PO43- ion in the excited state. The 1:1 stoichiometry of PNOH-PO43- complex is observed from Job’s plot based on UV-Vis titration and the complex shows distinct yellowish-green colour to be used as colorimetric sensor for PO43-. Limit of detection (LOD) of PNOH towards PO43- is found to be 0.35 µM. It is also demonstrated that the probe can be used to fabricate a convenient and efficient PO43- paper test kits as well as molecular INHIBIT logic gate.

description: We present an algorithm to derive difference images for data taken with the JWST with matched point-spread functions (PSFs). It is based on the saccadic fast Fourier transform (SFFT) method but with revisions to accommodate the rotations and spatial variations of the PSFs. It allows for spatially varying kernels in B-spline form with separately controlled photometric scaling and Tikhonov kernel regularization for harnessing the ultimate fitting flexibility. We present this method using the JWST/NIRCam images of galaxy cluster Abell 2744 acquired in JWST Cycle 1 as the test data. The algorithm can be useful for time-domain source detection and differential photometry with the JWST. It can also coadd images of multiple exposures taken at different field orientations. The coadded images preserve the sharpness of the central cores of the PSFs, and the positions and shapes of the objects are matched precisely with B-splines across the field.

description: It has been previously reported that thiourea modified poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid) (TMPAA) could successfully be employed as polymeric adsorbent for the sequestration of cationic dyes and nitro-phenol. In this research, parametric optimisation, kinetic and isotherm analyses on the sequestration of diclofenac (DCF) and amoxycillin (AMX)) by TMPAA were investigated for the first time. The central composite design (CCD) results revealed that the optimisation exhibited high significance and reliability. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that TMPAA dose, antibiotic concentration and adsorption time exhibited high significance effect on the DCF and AMX sequestration. The 3D response surface plots showed notable antagonistic interaction among the adsorption parameters. A maximum DCF uptake of 97.94% was achieved under optimum condition of 0.1 g TMPAA dose, 25 mg/L, and 54 min, while 94.06% AMX removal was obtained at 0.1 g sorbent dosage, 25 mg/L, and 34 min contact time. Predicted and experimental results confirmed the accuracy of the established optimal conditions for both antibiotics. It was discovered by adsorption analysis that the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Redlich-Peterson models agreed with the adsorption kinetic and isotherm data. The findings suggest that the synthesised TMPAA polymer is capable of removing DCF and AMX from aqueous solutions.

description: Soil contamination by antibiotics is a worldwide environmental issue, and it is essential to develop suspect screening methods of antibiotics in soil for their comprehensive risk assessment. In this study, a novel metabolomics approach by seeking ‘marker compounds’ on behalf of 36 antibiotics in the forest topsoil was developed based on the results of high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. About 10 µg/kg antibiotic concentration in soil was designed for metabolomics analysis. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis support the existence of variables with evident inter-group differences, which were further discerned by S-plot plots, permutation tests and variable importance in projection to pick eligible variables as ‘marker compound’ candidates. Pairwise t-test and fold change of concentration were employed to validate these candidates. The results indicate that 36 ‘marker compounds’ were all correctly screened out, together with the good practicability test in the rural greenhouse soils, proving the feasibility of this novel metabolomics method, which was expected to present great superiority and wide application future in suspect screening of pollutants. The limits of detection for 36 antibiotics in soil were calculated to be 0.6–2.6 µg/kg.

description: The design of controllers from data for nonlinear systems is a challenging problem. In a recent paper, De Persis, Rotulo and Tesi, "Learning controllers from data via approximate nonlinearity cancellation," IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2023, a method to learn controllers that make the closed-loop system stable and dominantly linear was proposed. The approach leads to a simple solution based on data-dependent semidefinite programs. The method uses input-state measurements as data, while in a realistic setup it is more likely that only input-output measurements are available. In this note we report how the design principle of the above mentioned paper can be adjusted to deal with input-output data and obtain dynamic output feedback controllers in a favourable setting.

description: Orthotropic shell structures are ubiquitous in biology and engineering, from bacterial cell walls to reinforced domes. We present a rescaling transformation that maps an orthotropic shallow shell to an isotropic one with a different local geometry. The mapping is applicable to any shell section for which the material orthotropy directions match the principal curvature directions, assuming a commonly used form for the orthotropic shear modulus. Using the rescaling transformation, we derive exact expressions for the buckling pressure as well as the linear indentation response of orthotropic cylinders and general ellipsoids of revolution, which we verify against numerical simulations. Our analysis disentangles the separate contributions of geometric and material anisotropy to shell rigidity. In particular, we identify the geometric mean of orthotropic elastic constants as the key quantifier of material stiffness, playing a role akin to the Gaussian curvature which captures the geometric stiffness contribution. Besides providing insights into the mechanical response of orthotropic shells, our work rigorously establishes the validity of isotropic approximations to orthotropic shells and also identifies situations in which these approximations might fail.

description: The pollution of the aquatic environment by the increasing presence of the non-biodegradable analgesic tramadol (TRA) is increasing due to its high consumption and incomplete elimination in conventional wastewater treatment processes. The aim of the present study is, firstly, to evaluate the oxidative degradation of TRA by the ‘electro-Fenton’ process, EF for short, at pH 3 (optimal operating pH) for 6 h at a constant current between 60 and 400 mA. Secondly, the possibility of coupling biological treatment with EF will be investigated in order to minimise energy input and increase the profitability of the treatment process. The experimental results showed a considerable mineralisation rate of TRA of over 94% after 6 h of electrolysis at an applied current of 300 mA and a Fe2+ catalyst concentration of 0.1 mM. The TRA degradation in this process followed pseudo-first order kinetics. Several TRA intermediates were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis. A likely reaction pathway for the process of mineralisation was suggested. Combining the EF process with biological post-treatment reduces the energy consumption by more than 66% and increases the economic viability of TRA mineralisation.

description: Chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad has been used for the control of diamondback moth in kale around the world with a suspension concentrate formulation being prepared for marketing in China. In order to evaluate pesticide residues in kale and intake risks for different populations, a modified QuEChERS procedure of detecting chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were simultaneously established using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The average recoveries of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were in the range of 83–98%, with the precision of intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 15) ranging from 1.7 to 6.7% and from 2.1 to 4.7%, respectively. The limits of quantification were all 0.01 mg kg−1 in kale. Supervised filed trials were conducted in 12 regions of China, and results showed that residues of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad in kale were 0.01 to 0.17 and 0.01 to 0.11 mg kg−1, respectively, within the recommended pre-harvest interval (10 days). Based on these data, dietary risk assessments were performed. The long-term intake risk quotient (RQc) values for chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were 0.33% and 28.09% respectively, while the short-term risk quotient (RQa) values of the more toxic tolfenpyrad were 21% (children, 1–6 years old) and 52% (the general population, >1 years old) respectively, which were all lower than 100%, highlighting the higher chronic risk for children compared with that of the general population. However, the less than 100% value revealed that not only the long-term but also short-term risks were acceptable when consuming kale under Good Agricultural Practice conditions. The paper will be helpful in rational use of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad on kale.

Anthomyia capensis Wiedemann, 1818: 46. Later transferred into Ophyra Robineau-Desvoidy, now synonymised with Hydrotaea Robineau-Desvoidy.
Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Saudi Arabia by Dabbour (1979a; b); Abu-Zoherah et al. (1993); Al-Misned (2003). It was described from South Africa. In the Middle East it is known from Egypt, Iran, Israel, Oman, Syria, Turkey and Yemen (Pont 1986; Pont 1991; Deeming 2008).
Biological remarks. Larvae (third instar) develop as predators of other soft-bodied insect larvae mostly in dung and carrion (Skidmore 1985; Deeming 2008). This species has also been reared from bird and mammal nests and from fungi (Skidmore 1985). Couri et al. (2009) found within the oesophagous of a mummified human corpse at “ Lisbon, Portugal ” dating from the 19 th century a number of larvae, pupae and adult remains of H. capensi s and cite further reports.

Musca prolapse Harris, 1780: 139. According to Chandler (1998: 174) the name prolapse has been used in error.
Muscina pabulorum (Fallén, 1817: 252) is a synonym of M. prolapsa (Harris 1780).
Specimens examined. 2m, Asir, Abha, Hay Al-Nusub (Abha farm centre), 20.iv.2013, Malaise trap, H.A. Dawah (CERS); 1m, same data but 12.ii.2014 (CERS).
Distribution. New to Saudi Arabia. This species was described without type-locality being specific. In the Middle East it has been recorded from Egypt, Iraq and Israel (Pont 1986).
Biological remarks. Bernhardt et al. (2016) reported that all buried rat carcasses were heavily infested by the larvae of M. prolapsa and that the development of M. prolapsa is temperature dependent and is, therefore, useful for calculating the post-mortem interval.

Distribution. This species was previously recorded from Saudi Arabia by Büttiker (1979). It was described from Sweden. Pont (1991) found Al-Houty’s (1989) identification of Musca sorbens from Kuwait to be M. stabulans. In the Middle East it was recorded from Turkey (Pont et al. 2005)
Biological remarks. Skidmore (1985) gave a comprehensive account of the biology of M. stabulans. It is a highly polyphagous species reared from a wide range of media. The overwintered females lay about 150– 200 eggs in batches of about 8–10 in spring time in temperate regions (Sèguy 1923). The larvae prey heavily on those of M. domestica, killing far more than they consume (Hewitt 1914) and may drastically reduce house fly populations (Silverly & Schoof 1955) but they also devour many other insect larvae. Therefore it is a beneficial species to man, since it is an important controller of M. domestica. It has been reared from living plants (radishes, cabbages etc.) and animals (including nestlings, sheep and humans). The larvae can produce serious ulceration on the living tissue of chordates. In temperate regions contamination of human food by M. stabulans is most likely to occur where it is openly exposed to direct sunlight, and wounds similarly exposed may lead to traumatic myiasis. The flies are intolerant of shade and seldom enter buildings, they select well lit habitats. A few natural enemies attack M. stabulans (e.g., the fly fungus Entomophthora muscae (Cohen) Fresen, some predators (e.g., the mite Araetus muscarum (L.)) and a few hymenoptera parasitoids attack its larvae. For further biological information see Greenberg (1971) and Skidmore (1985).

Distribution. New to Saudi Arabia. It was described from Zambia.
Biological remarks. The larvae of this species ingest the blood of living nestling birds and may cause their death if the infestation of the nests is heavy. The larva may penetrate the cavities of the bodies of the nestlings to get enough blood-supply for development (Patton 1920). Zumpt (1965) summarized the existing knowledge on the biology and life cycle of P. heterochaeta.
