Closing the building energy performance gap: stakeholder interaction and life cycle perspectives
Creators: name: Xu, Xiaoxiao
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the impact of stakeholder interaction on the gap between the predicted and actual building energy performance (building energy performance gap). A hybrid dynamic model is developed for building energy performance analysis from the perspectives of stakeholder interaction and building life cycle. This study would be valuable to both researchers and practitioners. It helps researchers better understand interaction mechanism and its impact on the building energy performance gap. Practitioners, especially policy makers, can understand the priority of allocating limited resources to address the issues stemming from the building energy performance gap.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The rapid growth of online information and the increasing reliance on search engines have highlighted the need for effective methods to measure and maximize the value of search engine processes. This research focuses on the development of information models that facilitate the calculation of maximum value in search engine algorithms. The study begins by examining the current landscape of search engines and the challenges associated with maximizing value. It identifies key factors such as user satisfaction, information accessibility, trust, business success, user engagement, and innovation as crucial elements in defining value within search engine processes.To address these challenges, the research proposes the development of comprehensive information models that integrate various metrics and parameters to assess the value of search engine algorithms.

description: The time-variable radiation deposited in the atmosphere of an eccentric planet induces variations in the thermal and chemical structure that may be detectable with current and future missions. Using EGP+ (Mayorga et al. 2021), we explore a grid of cloudless eccentric planet model atmospheres to ascertain the dominant variables that control atmospheric response to periastron passage in a variety of cases and predict observable features indicative of their response. We explore a range of parameters including orbital period, eccentricity, stellar effective temperature, and planet gravity in an attempt to determine a diagnostic measure of the observability of spectral changes. We present preliminary results from a grid of 48 models around Sun-like stars.

TESS in the Extended Mission: A powerful tool for time-domain exoplanet science
Creators: name: Wong, Ian

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Since its launch in 2018, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has embarked on an ambitious mission to image almost the entire sky in search of nearby transiting exoplanet systems. Upon completion of its Primary Mission in July 2020, TESS transitioned to its first Extended Mission, during which it has returned to both the southern and northern ecliptic hemispheres and revisited most of the targets it observed during the first two years of operation. With future Extended Missions likely, the end-to-end time baseline provided by TESS will significantly exceed that of Kepler, enabling a plethora of scientific investigations into time-domain exoplanet science. TESS has already proven itself to be an extremely productive tool for studying visible-wavelength exoplanet phase curves. During the Primary Mission, we carried out a systematic phase-curve analysis of more than 30 exoplanet systems. These datasets constrained the dayside brightness temperatures, day-night brightness contrasts, and optical geometric albedos of a wide range of gas giant planets, revealing some tantalizing trends that warrant further study. In particular, we uncovered a tentative positive correlation between geometric albedo and equilibrium temperature for gas giants with 1500 < Teq < 3000 K. The new light curves from the Extended Mission have refined the measured astrophysical parameters of the previously studied systems and yielded statistically significant secondary eclipse and phase-curve detections for dozens of more systems. By comparing the phase-curve properties obtained from TESS observations separated by months or years, we have also probed for possible atmospheric variability, as well as transit-timing variations due to orbital decay or additional companions. This poster provides an overview of the main results from our ongoing multiyear study of TESS light curves and touches on potentially fruitful avenues for further research as TESS continues its all-sky observations into the future.

description: To date, 3D simulations of aerosols in the atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets have almost exclusively focused on condensate clouds. However, for relatively cool hot Jupiters, photochemical hazes are expected to be an important source of opacity. As 1D radiative transfer models show, absorption and scattering from photochemical hazes can change the temperature profile by several hundred Kelvin in these planets. Here, we present 3D simulations of hot Jupiter HD 189733b using SPARC/MITgcm that include radiative feedback from photochemical hazes. We simulated photochemical hazes as radiatively active tracers with a constant particle size of 3 nm. For our nominal simulations, we assumed a soot-like complex refractive index. To explore the dependence on the assumed optical properties, we also performed simulations with a refractive index based on Titan-like hazes. In all simulations with haze radiative feedback, a strong temperature inversion at low pressures forms on the dayside. The response of the atmospheric circulation and the detailed temperature structure strongly depend on the assumed optical properties of the hazes. For soot-like hazes, the equatorial jet slows down and broadens at low pressures. Vertical velocities increase, especially upwelling near the terminator and on the dayside. For Titan-like hazes, the strength of the equatorial jet increases substantially, especially at low pressures. This results in a 3D haze distribution that differs dramatically from simulations without haze feedback or with soot-like hazes. While in simulations with soot-like hazes or without haze feedback, hazes are most concentrated on the nightside and the morning terminator, with lower haze abundances on the dayside and evening terminator, Titan-like hazes are most abundant on the dayside, the evening terminator and in the equatorial region on the nightside. The changed temperature structure affects the model-predicted dayside emission spectrum and phase curve in the near- and mid-infrared, with changes particularly large in the near-infrared water bands and at wavelengths >4 µm for both soot- and Titan-like hazes. In the dayside emission spectrum, the amplitude of the water absorption features is reduced and for the largest haze production rates for soot-like hazes, water is seen in emission rather than in absorption in multiple wavelength regions. The phase curve amplitude increases substantially at most infrared wavelengths when including haze feedback.

The importance of silicate vapor in determining the structure, radii, and envelope mass fractions of sub-Neptunes
Creators: name: Misener, William
name: Schlichting, Hilke
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Substantial silicate vapor is expected to be in chemical equilibrium at temperature conditions typical of the silicate-atmosphere interface of sub-Neptune planets, which can exceed 5000 K. Previous models of the atmospheric structure and evolution of these exoplanets, which have been used to constrain their atmospheric mass fractions, have neglected this compositional coupling. In this work, we show that silicate vapor in a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere acts as a condensable species, decreasing in abundance with altitude. The resultant mean molecular weight gradient inhibits convection at temperatures above ~4000 K, inducing a near-surface radiative layer. This radiative layer decreases the planet's total radius compared to a planet with the same base temperature and a convective, pure H/He atmosphere. Therefore, we expect silicate vapor to have major effects on the inferred envelope mass fraction and thermal evolution of sub-Neptune planets. We demonstrate that differences in radii, and hence in inferred atmospheric masses, are largest for planets which have larger masses, equilibrium temperatures, and atmospheric mass fractions. The effects are largest for younger planets, but differences can persist on gigayear time-scales for some sub-Neptunes. For a 10 MEarth planet with Teq=1000 K and an age of ~300 Myr, an observed radius consistent with an atmospheric mass fraction of 10% when accounting for silicate vapor would be misinterpreted as indicating an atmospheric mass fraction of 2% if a H/He-only atmosphere were assumed. The presence of silicate vapor in the atmosphere is also expected to have important implications for the accretion and loss of primordial hydrogen atmospheres.

description: Hot Jupiters (HJs) present an extreme case for exploring the conditions that regulate planetary atmospheres because they experience intense irradiation from their host stars that induces global-scale winds. General circulation models (GCMs) of HJ atmospheres predict day-to-nightside winds (winds flowing from the side of the planet facing its host star to the side facing away from the star) and equatorial jets (winds that entirely circulate around the planet) with speeds on the order of a few km/s. We apply high-resolution transmission spectroscopy using the PEPSI spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope to empirically constrain supersonic ~10 km/s day-to-nightside winds traced by Fe II features in the atmosphere of KELT-9 b, an ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) that remains to-date the hottest known planet. Reconciling our findings with archival HARPS-N datasets suggests multi-epoch variability ~5-8 km/s over timescales between weeks to years. We compare with the UHJ KELT-20 b to demonstrate the exceptional nature of KELT-9 b’s atmospheric dynamics. A qualitative evaluation of our measured wind velocities and variability against current UHJ GCMs reveals that KELT-9 b poses unique challenges for validating giant planet models.
A functional gene-array analysis of microbial communities settling on microplastics in a peat-draining environment
Creators: name: Rahman, Ishraq
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Concerns about microplastic pollution arise from the rafting potential of these durable particles which potentially propagate harmful chemicals and bacteria across wide spatial gradients. The bacterial communities usually persist on the microplastics over a long period and eventually the genetic expression of those communities may change. These changes hold ecological importance as it has direct impact on the natural cycles and regulation of several compounds. This study looks at how the genetics of whole microbial communities in a river are affected when exposed to microplastics.

description: Background The plastid genomes of the green algal order Chlamydomonadales tend to expand their non-coding regions, but this phenomenon is poorly understood. Here we shed new light on organellar genome evolution in Chlamydomonadales by studying a previously unknown non-photosynthetic lineage. We established cultures of two new Polytoma-like flagellates, defined their basic characteristics and phylogenetic position, and obtained complete organellar genome sequences and a transcriptome assembly for one of them. Results We discovered a novel deeply diverged chlamydomonadalean lineage that has no close photosynthetic relatives and represents an independent case of photosynthesis loss. To accommodate these organisms, we establish the new genus Leontynka, with two species (L. pallida and L. elongata) distinguishable through both their morphological and molecular characteristics. Notable features of the colourless plastid of L. pallida deduced from the plastid genome (plastome) sequence and transcriptome assembly include the retention of ATP synthase, thylakoid-associated proteins, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, and a plastoquinone-based electron transport chain, the latter two modules having an obvious functional link to the eyespot present in Leontynka. Most strikingly, the ~362 kbp plastome of L. pallida is by far the largest among the non-photosynthetic eukaryotes investigated to date due to an extreme proliferation of sequence repeats. These repeats are also present in coding sequences, with one repeat type found in the exons of 11 out of 34 protein-coding genes, with up to 36 copies per gene, thus affecting the encoded proteins. The mitochondrial genome of L. pallida is likewise exceptionally large, with its >104 kbp surpassed only by the mitogenome of Haematococcus lacustris among all members of Chlamydomonadales hitherto studied. It is also bloated with repeats, though entirely different from those in the L. pallida plastome, which contrasts with the situation in H. lacustris where both the organellar genomes have accumulated related repeats. Furthermore, the L. pallida mitogenome exhibits an extremely high GC content in both coding and non-coding regions and, strikingly, a high number of predicted G-quadruplexes. Conclusions With its unprecedented combination of plastid and mitochondrial genome characteristics, Leontynka pushes the frontiers of organellar genome diversity and is an interesting model for studying organellar genome evolution.

description: NASA’s selection of two Venus Discovery-class missions, DAVINCI and VERITAS, ESA’s selection of the EnVision M-class mission, and the advent of both privately funded (e.g. Venus Life Finder) and other international mission efforts sending spacecraft to the second planet (e.g. Shukrayaan-1), a much anticipated new decade of Venus science is at hand. There is, however another Venus exploration mission that is going to beat them all to first science return: The James Webb Space Telescope. JWST, through several of its Cycle 1 observation programs (e.g., GO-1981, GO-2512) is going to be observing >10 exoplanets that have been categorized as potentially Venus like. The search for Earth-like exoplanets has, and will continue to reveal more Venus-like than Earth-like worlds for the foreseeable future. Venus-like worlds are hotter, brighter, closer to their parent stars, easier to spot, and their cloudy atmospheres are easier to see and acquire spectra – which is one reason JWST is looking at so many compared to Earth-like planets. However, just like with our own Venus, that same quality makes it harder to understand what’s beneath the clouds. Fortunately, we can quite literally get into and under Venus’ clouds. Visiting our own Venus and studying it in-situ gives us a significant advantage in understanding the composition and evolution of the atmosphere – and the planet itself – and gives us a baseline for comparing with spectrally similar worlds outside the solar system. With Venus, we can explore and understand the detailed relationships between interior and surface processes, surface-atmosphere chemistry, deep and upper atmosphere circulation and interaction, and planet-stellar environment relationships that define how the planet broadcasts its state to the universe in emitted, transmitted, and reflected light. We can predict how Venus itself would look to JWST from various distances in different orientations and observation configurations. We will present a JWST-like Venus spectrum, compare that to what we expect for exo-Venuses, and discuss how and why they may differ.

description: Background In 2019, more than $34.5 billion was spent on prescription drugs in Canada. However, little is known about the distribution of this spending across medications and settings (outpatient and inpatient) over time. The objective of this paper is to describe the largest expenditures by medication class over time in inpatient and outpatient settings. This information can help to guide policies to control prescription medication expenditures. Methods IQVIA’s Canadian Drugstore and Hospital Purchases Audit data from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2020, were used. In this dataset, purchasing was stratified by outpatient drugstore and inpatient hospital. Spending trajectories in both settings were compared to total expenditure over time. Total expenditure of the 25 medications with the largest expenditure were compared over time, stratified by setting. Nominal costs were used for all analysis. Results In 2001, spending in the outpatient and inpatient settings was greatest on atorvastatin ($467.0 million) and erythropoietin alpha ($91.2 million), respectively. In 2020, spending was greatest on infliximab at $1.2 billion (outpatient) and pembrolizumab at $361.6 million (inpatient). Annual outpatient spending, although increasing, has been growing at a slower rate (5.3%) than inpatient spending (7.0%). In both settings, spending for the top 25 medications has become increasingly concentrated on biologic agents, with a reduction in the diversity of therapeutic classes of agents over time. Discussion Identification of the concentration on spending on biologic agents is a key step in managing costs of prescription medications in Canada. Given the increases in spending on biologic agents over the last 20 years, current cost-control mechanisms may be insufficient. Future research efforts should focus on examining the effectiveness of current cost-control mechanisms and identifying new approaches to cost control for biologic agents.

description: Owing to its high reactivity and commercial availability, 2-cyanoacetohydrazide can be utilized as a versatile and appropriate intermediate for synthesis of a broad variety of heterocyclic compounds. Thus, 2-cyanoacetohydrazide and 2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) acetyl chloride were used as starting materials for construction of new heterocyclic compounds bearing 1,3-dioxoisoindoline moiety. The newly synthesized compounds were recognized by elemental analyses and spectral data (IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectra). The synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative activity against two human epithelial cell lines; breast (MCF-7) and liver (HepG2) as well as to normal fibroblasts (WI-38). The data showed distinctly that compounds 1 and 12 presented promising in-vitro anti-proliferative activity against two cell lines (MCF-7 and HepG2) without harming normal fibroblasts.

description: Hintergrund: Die SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie hat im Jahr 2020 das Gesundheitswesen vor große Herausforderungen gestellt. Die COVID-19-Krankheitslast lässt sich durch den Verlust an Lebensjahren durch Krankheit oder Tod ausdrücken. Dabei gehen beispielsweise durch Versterben im Alter von 40 Jahren deutlich mehr Lebensjahre verloren als bei Tod mit 80 Jahren. Methode: Auf Basis laborbestätigter SARS-CoV-2-Meldefälle im Jahr 2020 (Datenstand 18. Januar 2021) werden durch Tod verlorene Lebensjahre ("years of life lost", YLL) und durch gesundheitliche Einschränkungen verlorene Lebensjahre ("years lived with disability", YLD) zur Krankheitslast insgesamt ("disability-adjusted life years", DALY) aufsummiert. Die Methodik ist angelehnt an die â€ÌGlobal Burden of Diseaseâ€Ì-Studie. Bestehende Vorerkrankungen werden bei der Berechnung der YLL nicht berücksichtigt. Die angelegte Restlebenserwartung berücksichtigt aber ein mittleres altersspezifisches Niveau an Morbidität. Ergebnisse: Im Jahr 2020 gingen in Deutschland 305 641 Lebensjahre durch COVID-19 verloren. Bei Männern entfielen 34,8 % der DALY auf Personen unter 70 Jahre, bei Frauen 21,0 %. 99,3 % dieser Krankheitslast machten verlorene Lebensjahre durch Versterben aus (YLL). Die durch COVID-19 im Tagesmittel entstandene Krankheitslast durch Versterben lag unter der für wichtige nichtübertragbare Erkrankungen. Eine verstorbene Person verlor im Mittel etwa 9,6 Lebensjahre, Personen unter 70 Jahre verloren 25,2 Lebensjahre. Männer hatten durch Tod einen größeren Verlust an Lebenszeit als Frauen (11,0 versus 8,1 Jahre). Schlussfolgerung: Die Auswirkungen von COVID-19 auf die Bevölkerungsgesundheit lassen sich mit den Indikatoren der Krankheitslast verdeutlichen. Die Methode liefert damit zusätzliche Erkenntnisse, die für künftige Ausbrüche frühzeitig genutzt werden sollten. Quelle: www.aerzteblatt.de

description: The role of fluctuations in dynamical systems has been widely studied in terms of fluctuation relations and response theory, in particular when it describes the response of a dynamical system to a perturbation, not limited to the usual linear response, which only applies to small perturbations.
We investigate these issues treating in detail a given class of discrete time dynamical systems.
This kind of toy models is very useful to understand the essential features of real transport phenomena and we study statistical properties of these systems and of their stochastic representation, including the behaviour of the cumulants of relevant observables.

Type species: Megalopsalis grimmetti Forster 1944.
Etymology: Gender feminine. From the Maori pakaka, a burnt orange or ochre colour, in reference to the type species’ distinctive coloration.
Description: As for the type and only included species (Forster 1944; Taylor 2011).
Comments: Pakaka grimmetti is a distinctive species found in the west of New Zealand’s South Island (Taylor 2011). It may be distinguished from Forsteropsalis, Mangatangi, Puwere, Shelob and Ungoliant except U. photophaga by the presence of a hypersetose apophysis on the pedipalpal patella in both sexes, being particularly large in the female. It may be distinguished from Triascutum and Ungoliant photophaga by its genital morphology, having a long glans with subparallel sides, and from Pantopsalis by its long pedipalps and long bristle groups on the penis. Pakaka grimmetti may also be distinguished from all other Enantiobuninae by its body form, with a relatively broad, somewhat flattened and truncate, opisthosoma and characteristic pale matt venter. Photographs of live specimens exhibit an orange-brown coloration that contrasts with the darker colour of many other Enantiobuninae (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/498091-Forsteropsalis-grimmetti).
Taylor (2011) described a beta male morph for Pakaka grimmetti, using the terminology established by Painting et al. (2015). However, a specimen held in MONZ (1 male, MC. Craigieburn Valley, Craigieburn Range, snowtussock, under rock, 5 February 1973, P. M. Johns) exhibits an alpha morphology with long, slender chelicerae (Fig. 7c).

Microphysics of Water Clouds in the Atmospheres of Y Dwarfs and Temperate Giant Planets
Creators: name: Mang, James
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Water clouds are expected to form on Y dwarfs and giant planets with equilibrium temperatures near or below that of Earth, drastically altering their atmospheric compositions and their albedos and thermal emission spectra. Here we discuss how we used the 1D Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) to investigate the microphysics of water clouds on cool substellar worlds to constrain their typical particle sizes and vertical extent, taking into consideration nucleation and condensation, which have not been considered in detail for water clouds in H/He atmospheres. We describe the small grid of Y dwarf and temperate giant exoplanet atmosphere models we computed with water clouds forming through homogeneous nucleation and heterogeneous nucleation on cloud condensation nuclei composed of meteoritic dust, organic photochemical hazes, and upwelled potassium chloride cloud particles. We then present comparisons with the Ackerman & Marley parameterization of cloud physics to extract the optimal sedimentation efficiency parameter (fsed) using Virga. We find that no Virga model replicates the CARMA water clouds exactly and that a transition in fsed occurs from the base of the cloud to the cloud top. Furthermore, we generate simulated thermal emission and geometric albedo spectra and find large, wavelength-dependent differences between the CARMA and Virga models, with different gas absorption bands reacting differently to the different cloud distributions and particularly large differences in the M band. Therefore, constraining the vertically-dependent properties of water clouds will be essential to estimating the gas abundances in these atmospheres.

description: The radial pressure gradient (RPG) along the midplane of gaseous protoplanetary disks – planetary nurseries – poses a severe obstacle to planet formation. Micron-sized dust grains, embedded in the disk, must quickly grow to kilometer-sized planetesimals – the building blocks of planets – before fatally drifting inwards, by RPG-induced gas drag, into a central host star. However, the RPG simultaneously powers one of the most robust processes to overcome this radial-drift barrier: the streaming instability (SI). Spontaneously triggered, the SI aerodynamically concentrates drifting dust via drag-induced, coupled interactions and feedback with the surrounding gas. In particular, the nonlinear phase of the SI has not been rigorously or thoroughly studied in the presence of different RPGs, despite implications and expectations from linear analysis. Thus, we numerically simulated and analyzed the nonlinear evolution of the SI among various RPGs in unstratified, 2D shearing sheets, corotating with the disk, using the Athena++ code, extended to include Lagrangian particles with feedback to the gas. Depending on particle size and initial dust concentration, we find that different RPGs noticeably affect the nonlinear growth, saturation, structure, and resultant dust density distributions of the SI, the details of which are not obvious nor expected from linear analysis. Our results offer many new, valuable insights into the complexity of dust-gas dynamics as well as implications for both planet formation theories and protoplanetary disk observations.

description: Bipolar pulse generation has been studied using transmission line technology, which was mainly used for monopolar pulse generation. In this thesis, low impedance, high current, nanosecond pulse generators were designed, constructed and tested. Five transmission lines were connected in parallel, so the impedance was 10 n. The transmission lines were switched by a spark gap switch operated in air. The closing of the switch creates a matched condition on one side of the transmission lines and a short circuit on the other side of the transmission lines. When the transmission lines are precharged, one of the two waves in opposite directions propagating towards the matched load will result in a square pulse and the other wave reflected at short side will be negative in polarity, forming a bipolar pulse. Such an ideal description was found to be consistent with the actual experimental results for long nanosecond pulses such as 300+ 300ns, but was not the case for short nanosecond pulse durations, such as 5+5 ns. Finite rise time, transition from one polarity to the other, prolonged decay time, unequal amplitude of pulses, and significant tails were typically recorded in the pulses. The discrepancy is mostly caused by the parasitic inductance of the switch, or the finite loop length in the configuration of the cable connector. To alleviate the distortion of the pulses, the impedance of the transmission line can be increased. The inductance in our current configuration due to the finite current loop cannot be reduced due to the limited space. Biological testing of the bipolar pulses have shown that bipolar pulses are not effective in killing the cells, and the monopolar pulses with half of the pulse duration and energy are more effective in causing cell death. The modeling using PSPICE has shown that the membrane voltage charged by monopolar pulses can stay orders of magnitude as long as the pulse duration, but the membrane voltage charged by bipolar pulses is only stays as long as the pulse duration. The biological results suggest the effects induced by nanosecond pulses are reversible and energy-independent.

description: A gap in a protoplanetary disc is a low-density region of dust and gas that can be the result of a planet forming. Though the dust only accounts for of the disc by mass, it accounts for the majority of the radiative transfer. The thermal structure of the disc largely controls the paths of icelines and, therefore, the planet's composition; however, the effect of variations in dust surface density on disc temperature has been poorly understood until now. In this study, we use the radiative transfer code MCMax to model the 2D dust thermal structure with individual gaps corresponding to planets 0.1 - 5 Jupiter masses and orbital radii of 3, 5, and 10 AU. The low density of the dust in the gap region reduces the optical depth, allowing radiation to penetrate deeper into the disc and warm the midplane, but only for gaps located where radiative transfer is the dominant source of heat (here, a > ~4 AU). In contrast, gaps in viscously-heated regions (a<4 AU) experience a cooler midplane. Outside of the gap, broad radial oscillations in heating and cooling are present. These thermal features affect local segregation of volatile elements (H2O, CH4, CO2, CO) between the dust and gas. We find that icelines -- which trace the condensation front inside of which a volatile freezes out -- experience significant variations to their paths: deviating up to -6.5 AU vertically and +4.3 AU horizontally from gapless models. In the case of planet-induced gaps, these thermally-driven iceline variations represent a potential feedback from the planet onto the composition of the material it is accreting.

description: Here in, the condensation of boc-glycine with 2,6-anhydro-3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-gluco-heptitol followed by its boc-deprotection to form 2,6-anhydro-3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-gluco-heptitolyl bis-glycinate, which in turn on condensation with succinic acid/pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid led to the formation of sugar-amino acid hybrid macrocyclic compounds 4, 6 and debenzylated marocyclic compound 5, having amide bonds that function as efficient host for polar, hydrogen bond acceptors and carboxylate ions. The anion inclusion capability of synthesized macrocylic hosts has been evaluated by the study of their binding with boc-GlyCOOˉ anion as guest through 1H NMR titration studies in CDCl3. The binding constant (Ka) of boc-GlyCOOˉ guest with macrocyclic hosts 4 and 6 involving succinate and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate linkers was found to be 9.201 × 103 and 1.437 × 104 M−1, respectively. The higher binding constant was observed in the complex of boc-GlyCOOˉ with pyridine-dicarboxylate containing host may be due to the extra rigidity & suitable conformation attained by the presence of rigid-aromatic dicarboxylate linker.

description: Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are a growing area of interest, with significant ongoing research work and commercial development. There are two types of FOWT, namely floating horizontal axis wind turbine (FHAWT) and floating vertical axis wind turbine (FVAWT). It has been a long-standing debate on which type of FOWT has better technical and economic performance. However, the research work on comparative study of these two types of FOWT is very rare. In this study, we aim to systematically evaluate the performance of FHAWT and FVAWT, with particular focus on comparing their dynamic characteristics by using coupled numerical models. Tank testing for these two types of FOWT was conducted at the wave basin, and a series of code-to-experiment comparisons were carried out to validate the numerical models. Afterwards, dynamic characteristics, including the control strategy, aerodynamic power, floater motions, tower base bending moments, and blade deformations, are compared between the FHAWT and helical type FVAWT. Results show that the FHAWT presents better performance on the aerodynamic performance and tower base bending moments, while the helical type FVAWT has the advantage of minimal blade deformations.

description: Herein, we report the synthesis of thioridazine-VLA-4 hybrid epimers. These hybrid molecules were obtained by means of a click reaction involving N-propargyl northioridazine enantiomers and an azide containing VLA-4 antagonist. A synthesis of northioridazine enantiomers from racemic thioridazine was developed and the absolute stereochemistry was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Access to N-substituted thioridazine analogs may reveal that this phenothiazine core has therapeutic potential in other disease avenues.
