4th Annual CNPD (Centre for Natural Products Discovery) Conference
Creators: name: Sarker, Satyajit
Publisher: name: Journal of Natural Products Discovery
Year: 2023

description: The 4th Annual CNPD (Centre for Natural Products Discovery) Conference held on 19-22 June 2023 at the John Lennon Arts and Design Building, has been a remarkable success. The feedback from the participants from all over the world (e.g., Bangladesh, Czech Republic, China, Pakistan, India, Italy, Nepal, Romania, South Korea, Switzerland, The Philippines, Turkey and USA), as well as from our home participants, was simply excellent. Many commented that our conference is one of the best conferences they have ever attended. Prof Laura Bishop, PVC Science opened the conference, and welcomed the participants on behalf of the Faculty and LJMU. Prof Satya Sarker, Director of School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, and the Founding Head of the Centre for Natural Products Discovery, presented an overview of the centre and welcomed everybody on behalf of the School and the Centre. During the conference, several outstanding invited talks were presented and the quality of the short 10 min presentations was also excellent. The poster session was lively and highly interactive, the extended tea/coffee breaks and lunch breaks provided a fantastic opportunity for networking. There was a lively panel discussion on the contemporary issues in natural products research, and the impact of AI on natural products research and scientific publications dominated the discussion. There were three prizes sponsored by Goss Scientific, and Perkin Elmer, given to the best poster, the best short oral presentation and the best overall performance, selected by a panel of four judges, two internal and two externals. We are absolutely delighted to see our PhD student Waed Alsheikh won the best oral and overall best performance prizes. It can be mentioned that Waed is the Faculty Winner of the 3 min thesis presentation, and the LJMU winner through popular votes. The conference concluded with my ‘vote of thanks’, and a declaration that the 5th Annual CNPD conference will be held online over Teams in 2024, and 6th Annual CNPD conference will be held face-to-face in Liverpool in 2025.

description: High-spin states in 128Ca were populated with the 92Mo (40Ca, 2p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 184 MeV. The previously known ground-state band has been extended to Iπ=(34+) and four sidebands were observed. Configuration assignments for these sidebands are discussed based on their alignment behavior. A significant delay of the νh11/2 crossing frequency is observed in the A∼130 region, with the largest delays occurring consistently at N=70. Cranked shell model calculations were performed in order to investigate whether a variation of deformation and/or pairing parameters can account for this phenomenon.
ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES: INVESTIGATION ON THE PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE STRUCTURE OF ZNO NPS IN SOL -GEL SYNTHESIS

Subjects: Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles; synthesis; parameters; sol-gel method; properties.

description: Abstract The process of synthesis, characterization and application of zinc oxide nanoparticles have been widely discussed in the last decades in the nanotechnologies and material science researches. In order to perform a high quality of these nanoparticles, the investigation of parameters which directly affect the formation is crucial and few studies describe and discuss this matter. In this research 6 samples of ZnO NPs were synthesized from [Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O] as precursor through chemical route. Six parameters were observed (molarity, sonication type, environmental conditions, annealing process, medium and characterization process). ZnO was performed considering the color and matches of the samples from XRD measurement and the standard patterns from the previous researches. The crystallite size calculated was between by using the use of Debye Scherer formula, confirming as well the NPs character of the material. It was detected that molarity; sonication type and environment of experiment were more evidenced in the samples compared to other variables. These parameters affect in the properties and applications of nanoparticles. Applying W-H plot method it was observed that the particle looks scattered with negative strain in the sample 2. More studies are needed to understand the optical, electrical and thermal properties of the materials produced.

Predictive design of biomolecular crystal piezoelectricity

description: Piezoelectricity is the linear relationship between applied stress and induced electrical charge, and conversely, applied electric field and mechanical strain. It is exploited in a wide variety of applications in our daily lives, but through inorganic materials such as aluminium nitrate (AlN), zinc oxide (ZnO), and quartz (SiO2). In consumer electronics the majority of the piezoelectric materials used are still lead-based, even for potential biomedical applications. Here we present biomolecular crystals as the next generation of piezoelectric materials, using simulation-guided experiments on a variety of crystalline organic materials. The majority of organic materials do not have a centre of symmetry, and so are likely to possess properties such as piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, pyroelectricity, and non-linear optical (NLO) behaviour. Already a wide variety of large biomolecular structures have been shown to be piezoelectric, such as collagen, elastin, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and viruses. In order to understand the piezoelectric response in structures such as these, we focus the majority of this work on amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins and other biomolecules. We use quantum mechanical models based on density functional theory (DFT), to predict and understand the piezoelectric response of amino acid crystals, and relate this to the observed hierarchy of electromechanical coupling in peptide and protein structures. Based on our predictions, we have experimentally verified an extremely high transverse shear piezoelectricity in the β-glycine crystal polymorph of 178 pC/N. We also report a d25 value of 25 pC/N in hydroxy-L-proline single crystals. A number of amino acid crystal films have been grown and studied, including the racemic amino acid DL-alanine, which is shown here to generate up to 800 mV of electricity under manual compression. DFT calculations, in combination with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), have been utilised to deconstruct the effective piezoelectric constants of orthorhombic amino acid films. Finally, we use DFT to reconcile a decades old observation that the centrosymmetric biomineral calcite is weakly piezoelectric. We quantitatively relate DFT predictions to previous second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements, and show that calcite based macrostructures can demonstrate longitudinal piezoelectric constants of up to 0.07 pC/N.

description: The existence of compacton matter waves in binary mixtures of quasi one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in deep optical lattices and in the presence of nonlinearity management, is first demonstrated. For this, we derive an averaged vector discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLSE) and show that compacton solutions of different types can exist as stable excitations. Stability properties are studied by linear analysis and by direct numerical integrations of the DNLSE system and their dependence on the inter- and intra-species scattering lengths, investigated. We show that under proper management conditions, compactons can be very robust excitations that can emerge spontaneously from generic initial conditions. A possible experimental setting for compacton observation is also discussed.

description: The ground state rotational bands of the N = Z nuclei 72Kr, 76Sr, and 80Zr have been extended into the angular momentum region where rotation alignment of particles is normally expected. By measuring the moments of inertia of these bands we have observed a consistent increase in the rotational frequency required to start pair breaking, when compared to neighboring nuclei. 72Kr shows the most marked effect. It has been widely suggested that these “delayed alignments” arise from np-pairing correlations. However, alignment frequencies are very sensitive to shape degrees of freedom and normal pairing, so the new experimental observations are still open to interpretation.

description: The nucleus 68Ge has been studied by gamma-ray spectroscopy following its population at high spin in the reaction 40Ca(32S,4p) 68Ge. The reaction channel was selected with the Microball array and gamma rays were detected with the Gammasphere array. The level scheme is very complex, reflecting the many different, and presumably mixed, excitation modes in this nucleus. Nevertheless, there appear to be some simplifications in the spin range above 18ℏ where we have identified a superdeformed band and several terminating bands. The results are compared with a cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model without pairing.
Sanitation and Human Security in South Sudan
Creators: name: Ogunfemi, Quadri Mobolaji
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: This research investigated the pathways through which sanitation affects human security using the case of South Sudan. The country has faced multiple intermittent and devastating disasters since 1955, the cumulative effect of which has impacted sanitation and human security leaving about two-thirds of the population in need of humanitarian assistance. In consequence, it becomes a necessity to examine implications of these on achieving a target of the sustainable development goal which aims to end open defecation particularly among people in vulnerable situations by 2030. Reviewing the literature revealed that there are theoretical and empirical gaps on the relationship between sanitation and human security resulting in the sanitation security model being designed to create starting points for data collection, analysis, interpretation and discussion. Site visit to South Sudan and use of qualitative data collection methods highlighted contextual nuances and processes required in addressing research question. By applying case study research design and contextually appropriate research methods, the differences, similarities, variations and contradictions in rural, urban and displaced persons site regarding the research topic were investigated. It is found that the sanitation and human security nexus is complex and bidirectional with security and sustainable sanitation as intervening factors. There is the need for more appropriately contextualised research, policy and practice on sanitation and human security both together and apart if the sustainable development goals are to be met and poverty eradicated.
Full Bloch sphere teleportation of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates and spin ensembles

description: Quantum teleportation is the transfer of quantum information between two locations by the use of shared entanglement. Current teleportation schemes broadly fall under one of two categories, of either qubit or continuous variables teleportation. Spin coherent states on spin ensembles can be teleported under the continuous variables approximation for states with small deviations from a given polarization. However, for spin coherent states with large deviations, no convenient teleportation protocol exists. Recently, we introduced a teleportation scheme where a spin coherent state lying on the equator of the Bloch sphere is teleported between distant parties (A.N. Pyrkov and T. Byrnes, New. J. Phys. 16, 073038 (2014)). Here we generalize the protocol to a spin coherent state with an arbitrary position on Bloch sphere. Our proposed scheme breaks classical bounds based on communication in the unconditional case and quantum state estimation with postselection.

description: Subpicosecond lifetimes of states in shears band 1 in 97Pb were measured by means of the recoil distance method employing Gammasphere and the New Yale Plunger Device. The extracted reduced matrix elements, B(M1), show a clear sensitivity to the crossing of different shears configurations reflecting the closing and reopening of the shears blades. The energies and B(M1) values in the band crossing region are successfully described in the framework of the semiclassical model of the shears bands. The relevance of core rotation contributions are shown. The results point to the existence of shears states with an angular momentum coupling angle larger than 90°.

description: The intrinsic quadrupole moment Q0 of superdeformed rotational bands in A∼150 nuclei depends on the associated single-particle configuration. We have derived an empirical formula based on the additivity of effective quadrupole moments of single-particle orbitals that describes existing measurements from 142Sm to 152Dy. To further test the formula, the predicted Q0 moments for two superdeformed bands in 146Gd of 14.05eb were confronted with a new measurement yielding 13.9±0.4eb and 13.9 ± 0.3eb, respectively. This excellent agreement provides empirical evidence of extreme single-particle behavior in highly deformed, collective systems.

description: PET imaging is a non-invasive technique for particle range verification in proton therapy. It is based on measuring the beta+ annihilations caused by nuclear interactions of the protons in the patient. In this work we present measurements for proton range verification in phantoms, performed at the CNAO particle therapy treatment center in Pavia, Italy, with our 10 x 10 cm^2 planar PET prototype DoPET. PMMA phantoms were irradiated with mono-energetic proton beams and clinical treatment plans, and PET data were acquired during and shortly after proton irradiation. We created 1-D profiles of the beta+ activity along the proton beam-axis, and evaluated the difference between the proximal rise and the distal fall-off position of the activity distribution. A good agreement with FLUKA Monte Carlo predictions was obtained. We also assessed the system response when the PMMA phantom contained an air cavity. The system was able to detect these cavities quickly after irradiation.

description: India is expected to emerge as one of the leading economies of the world over the next decade in the light of a positive political and economic scenario. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) segment is expected to play a significant role in the emergence of the Indian Economy. In recent years, the significance of the MSME has been recognized in the world’s countries for it’s major contribution in various socio economic objectives such as higher economic growth and employment, output, nurturing entrepreneurship and encouragement and support for exports. MSME play a vital role in the industrial development of any country. The MSME sector is a backbone of Indian economy. This sector is very much important for moves towards a faster and inclusive growth of country. The MSME sector can help for achieving the target of Nation Manufacturing policy that manufacturing should contribute 25% in India’s GDP by 2022. The MSME sector in India is vast heterogeneous in terms of the size, variety of product and level of technology. This sector is large contributes to the socioeconomic development of the country. The MSME sector is an important pillar of Indian economy as it contributes greatly to growth of Indian economy with a vast network of around 30 million units, creating employment of about 70 million, manufacturing more than 6000 products, contributing about 45% to manufacturing output and about 40% of exports, directly and indirectly. This sector even assumes greater importance now as the country moves towards a faster and inclusive growth agenda. Industrial units are generally classified between small scale, medium scale and large-scale units; considering their size, capital resources and the number of laborer’s engaged upon. There is difference between small scale and cottage industries on two different issues: (a)Small scale industries are mostly located in urban centers as separate units, but the cottage industries are normally associated with agriculture and provide subsidiary employment in rural areas; and (b)Small scale industries produce goods with mechanized equipment, partially or fully, but the cottage industries involve activities mostly by hand and are performed primarily with the help of household workers.

description: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, a new class of atomically thin semiconductors, possess optically coupled 2D valley excitons. The nature of exciton relaxation in these systems is currently poorly understood. Here, we investigate exciton relaxation in monolayer MoSe2 using polarization-resolved coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy with high spectral resolution. We report strikingly narrow population pulsation resonances with two different characteristic linewidths of 1 μeV and <0.2 μeV at low-temperature. These linewidths are more than three orders of magnitude narrower than the photoluminescence and absorption linewidth, and indicate that a component of the exciton relaxation dynamics occurs on timescales longer than 1 ns. The ultra-narrow resonance (<0.2 μeV) emerges with increasing excitation intensity, and implies the existence of a long-lived state whose lifetime exceeds 6 ns.

description: A highly-deformed rotational band has been identified in the N = Z nucleus 36Ar. At high spin the band is observed to its presumed termination at Iπ = 16+, while at low spin it has been firmly linked to previously known states in 36Ar. Spins, parities, and absolute excitation energies have thus been determined throughout the band. Lifetime measurements establish a large low-spin quadrupole deformation (β2 = 0.46 ±0.03) and indicate a decreasing collectivity as the band termination is approached. With effectively complete spectroscopic information and a valence space large enough for significant collectivity to develop, yet small enough to be meaningfully approached from the shell model perspective, this rotational band in 36Ar provides many exciting opportunities to test and compare complementary models of collective motion in nuclei.

description: Active colloids constitute a novel class of materials composed of colloidal-scale particles locally converting chemical energy into motility, mimicking micro-organisms. Evolving far from equilibrium, these systems display structural organizations and dynamical properties distinct from thermalized colloidal assemblies. Harvesting the potential of this new class of systems requires the development of a conceptual framework to describe these intrinsically nonequilibrium systems. We use sedimentation experiments to probe the nonequilibrium equation of state of a bidimensional assembly of active Janus microspheres, and conduct computer simulations of a model of self-propelled hard disks. Self-propulsion profoundly affects the equation of state, but these changes can be rationalized using equilibrium concepts. We show that active colloids behave, in the dilute limit, as an ideal gas with an activity-dependent effective temperature. At finite density, increasing the activity is similar to increasing adhesion between equilibrium particles. We quantify this effective adhesion and obtain a unique scaling law relating activity and effective adhesion in both experiments and simulations. Our results provide a new and efficient way to understand the emergence of novel phases of matter in active colloidal suspensions.

The Kepler Eclipsing System KIC 5621294 and its Substellar Companion

description: We present the physical properties of KIC 5621294 showing light and timing variations from the ${\it Kepler}$ photometry. Its light curve displays partial eclipses and O'Connell effect with Max II fainter than Max I, which was fitted quite well by applying third-body and spot effects to the system. The results indicate that the eclipsing pair is a classical Algol-type system with parameters of $q$=0.22, $i$=76$^\circ$.8, and $Δ$($T_{1}$--$T_{2}$)=4,235 K, in which the detached primary component fills about 77\% of its limiting lobe. Striking discrepancies exist between the primary and secondary eclipse times obtained with the method of Kwee \& van Woerden. These are mainly caused by surface inhomogeneities due to spot activity detected in our light-curve synthesis. The 1,253 light-curve timings from the Wilson-Devinney code were used for a period study. It was found that the orbital period of KIC 5621294 has varied due to a periodic variation overlaid on a downward parabola. The sinusoidal variation with a period of 961 d and a semi-amplitude of 22.5 s most likely arise from a light-time effect due to a third component with a mass of $M_3 \sin i_3$=46.9 M$\rm_{Jup}$, which is in good agreement with that calculated from the light curve itself. If its orbital inclination is larger than about 40$^\circ$, the mass of the circumbinary object would possibly match a brown dwarf. The parabolic variation could not be fully explained by either a mass transfer between the binary components or an angular momentum via magnetic braking. It is possible that the parabola may only be the observed part of a period modulation caused by the presence of another companion in a wider orbit.

description: We analyze the properties of naturally formed nano-bubbles in Lennard-Jones molecular dynamics simulations of liquid-to-vapor nucleation in the boiling and the cavitation regimes. The large computational volumes provide a realistic environment at unchanging average temperature and liquid pressure, which allows us to accurately measure properties of bubbles from their inception as stable, critically sized bubbles, to their continued growth into the constant speed regime. Bubble gas densities are up to 50$%$ lower than the equilibrium vapor densities at the liquid temperature, yet quite close to the gas equilibrium density at the lower gas temperatures measured in the simulations: The latent heat of transformation results in bubble gas temperatures up to 25$%$ below those of the surrounding bulk liquid. In the case of rapid bubble growth - typical for the cavitation regime - compression of the liquid outside the bubble leads to local temperature increases of up to 5$%$, likely significant enough to alter the surface tension as well as the local viscosity. The liquid-vapor bubble interface is thinner than expected from planar coexistence simulations by up to $50%$. Bubbles near the critical size are extremely non-spherical, yet they quickly become spherical as they grow.

description: The 270-MeV 58Ni+ 102Pd reaction was used for the first recoil-decay tagging measurement with Gamma-sphere coupled to the Fragment Mass Analyzer at Argonne National Laboratory. Level structures of 155Yb, 156Lu, and 157Lu, as well as the excited states associated with the 25/2- isomer in 155Lu, are identified for the first time. The systematical behavior of the energy levels is compared with that of neighboring isotones and isotopes. The attractive interaction between h11/2 protons and h9/2 neutrons plays an important role in the structure of 155Yb and 155,156Lu.
