Abstract
We report on newly developed nuclear shielding glass system based on lead-tungsten-boron (PWB) for radiation applications against photon, neutron and charge particles. This newly developed system contains also different additions, in low concentrations, such as Sb, Al and Bi. The gamma/photon shielding performance was tested by using FLUKA Monte Carlo. Moreover, the shielding efficiency of the present system is examined against charged particles (light and heavy ones) and neutrons. The highest gamma/photons attenuation is observed in the lowest incident energy and this is at the region of the photoelectric absorption. We also observe that the values of effective atomic number (Zeff) show a peak at 100 keV incident energy. The reduction of these values is higher for photon energy range 0.1-1 MeV than below 80 keV energies. The lowest half value layer (d1/2), reflecting the best shielding efficiency, is recorded for the PWB-Bi system. The PWB-Bi system demonstrates promising performance better than many of commercial and standard systems and heavy concretes.

Abstract
The borotellurite glasses whose chemical structure is (29.5-0.4x)CaO + 10CaF2 + (60-0.6x)B2O3 + xTeO2+ 0.5Yb2O3 (where x=10, 16, 22, 31, and 54 % mole. represent TCCBY1-TCCBY5, respectively) are Pb-free, thermally stable, and transparent glasses with attractive optical features for technological applications. The gamma-photons, electrons, protons, neutrons, carbon ions, fast neutrons, and fast neutron interaction parameters of these glasses are presented in this study to better understand the role of TeO2 in influencing their radiation shielding properties and radiation protection applications. The photon mass attenuation coefficient was evaluated by XCOM computation and simulation using the FLUKA code. The FLUKA code was also used to evaluate the mass stopping powers of the charged radiations, while neutrons' cross sections were evaluated using standard expressions. For 0.015 MeV-15 MeV photons, the mass attenuation coefficients of the glasses fell from 17.9499 to 0.0246 cm2/g for TCCBY1, 20.5628 to 0.0263 cm2/g for TCCBY2, 23.2756 to 0.079 cm2/g for TCCBY3, 26.7487 to 0.0298 cm2/g for TCCBY4, and 33.3591 to 0.0335 cm2/g for TCCBY5. The photon half-value layer at 15 keV is reduced by about 19.57%, 32.68%, 48.84%, and 63.89% when the TeO2 content increases from 10 mol to 16, 22, 31, and 54 mol, respectively. TeO2 was found to suppress photon buildup in the glasses. The mass stopping powers of charged radiation increased as glass density decreased. The addition of TeO2 into the glass structure increased the ability of the TCCBY glass to absorb fast neutrons by up to 54 % mole. The gamma radiation and fast neutron moderating ability of TCCBY5 glass compared to common shields and other materials is exceptional. The glass is recommended for the design of Pb-free, transparent, and efficient radiation protection structures.

Abstract
One of the most practical and environmentally friendly ways to deal with the energy crises and global warming is to produce hydrogen as clean fuel by splitting water. The central obstacle for electrochemical water splitting is the use of expensive metal-based catalysts. For electrocatalytic hydrogen production, it is essential to fabricate an efficient catalyst for the counterpart oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is a four-electron-transfer sluggish process. Here in this study, we have successfully fabricated cobalt-based ferrite nanoparticles over the surface of carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF) that was utilized as flexible anode materials for the OER and overall electrochemical water splitting reactions. Scanning electron microscopy images with elemental mapping showed the growth of nanoparticles over CNTF, while electrochemical characterization exhibited excellent electrocatalytic performance. Linear sweep voltammetry revealed the reduced overpotential value (260 mV@η10mAcm-2) with a small Tafel slope of 149 mV dec-1. Boosted electrochemical double layer capacitance (0.87 mF cm-2) for the modified electrode also reflects the higher surface area as compared to pristine CNTF (Cdl = 0.022 mF cm-2). Charge transfer resistance for the surface-modified CNTF showed the lower diameter in the Nyquist plot and was consequently associated with the better Faradaic process at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Overall, the as-fabricated electrode could be a promising alternative for the efficient electrochemical water splitting reaction as compared to expensive metal-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The rapid recombination of charges of photogenerated electrons and holes severely limits single semiconductor photocatalytic applications. In this study, a simple and facile sol-gel approach was used to synthesize Ba2-xHoxSr2-yNiyFe12O22 (x = 0, 0.1 and y = 0, 0.5). The composite of holmium-nickel doped barium-strontium ferrite with MXene (Ba1.9Ho0.1Sr1.5Ni0.5Fe12O22@MXene) was synthesized by ultrasonication method. These synthesized samples were subsequently used to photodegrade rhodamine B (RhB) and pendimethalin under visible light illumination. The results of the experiments demonstrated that MXene, as a cocatalyst, considerably reduces the rate of recombination of charges and broadens absorption of visible light by providing increased surface functional groups to improve the photocatalytic activity of synthesized samples. MXene is thermally stable, have high electrical conductivity, have adjustable bandgap, and hydrophilic in nature. The optimized Ba1.9Ho0.1Sr1.5Ni0.5Fe12O22@MXene composite demonstrated an excellent photocatalytic rate by degrading 78.88% RhB and 75.59% pendimethalin in 140 minutes. Moreover, the scavenging experiment revealed that photogenerated electrons and holes were the primary active species involved in RhB and pendimethalin photodegradation, respectively. Ba1.9Ho0.1Sr1.5Ni0.5Fe12O22@MXene showed increased photocatalytic behavior because it has increased surface area which decreases rate of recombination of electron and hole pair, hence photocatalytic activity increases. It is observed that Ba1.9Ho0.1Sr1.5Ni0.5Fe12O22@MXene has potential application in photocatalytic degradation of harmful pollutants.

Abstract
In this investigation, the elastic properties and neutrons attenuation factors for some optical glasses containing Ta2O5, SiO2, and Li2O were reported. The present glasses were also consisted of ZrO2 and Nb2O5 in very small concentrations. The glasses are chemically defined as 26.47Li2O-5.88ZrO2-(20-x)Ta2O5-xNb2O5-47.06SiO2, where, x takes the values: 0, 2.94, 5.88, and 11.77 mol%. The elastic properties of these glassy specimens were determined by employing Makishima-Mackenzie's theory (M.M.T). By using the same method, moreover, the micro-hardness and Poisson's ratio were assessed. Cross sections for slow, moderated, and fissile neutrons were computed through standard expressions and models. In addition, the influence of the partial replacement of Ta2O5 by Nb2O5 on the parameters were also analysed. The glass with the lowest Nb2O5 content presented the highest cross sections for fast, moderated, and slow neutrons. The neutron-absorption ability of included glasses declined as glass density declined and Nb2O5 molar concentration increased in the glasses. Therefore, the sample with the highest Ta2O5 content is recommended for neutron absorption applications.

Abstract
In this research paper, we report on the radiation shielding ability of five newly developed chalcogenide alloys described by the chemical compositions of Ge20Sb6Te72Bi2 (GTSB1), Ge20Sb6Te70Bi4 (GTSB2), Ge20Sb6Te68Bi6 (GTSB3), Ge20Sb6Te66Bi8 (GTSB4), and Ge20Sb6Te64Bi10 (GTSB5). The simulation (Monte Carlo) technique is systematically utilized to understand the problem of radiation propagation through the chalcogenide alloys. The maximum deviation between the theoretical values and simulations outcomes for each alloy sample corresponds to circa 0.525, 0.517, 0.875, 0.619, and 0.574% for GTSB1, GTSB2, GTSB3, GTSB4, and GTSB5, respectively. The obtained results indicate that the rapid decline in the value of the attenuation coefficients is mainly due to the main photon interaction process with the alloys for E≤500 keV. Additionally, the charged particle and neutron transmission properties are assessed for the involved chalcogenide alloys. Comparing the MFP and HVL with those of the conventional shielding glasses and concretes, the present alloys are good photon absorbers and they could be used to replace some conventional shields in radiation protection applications.

Abstract
Three high entropy materials (La2O3+TiO2+Nb2O5+WO3+X2O3 coded as LTNWM1, LTNWM2, and LTNWM3 for X = B, Ga, and In) produced by aerodynamic containerless processing were evaluated for optical attributes, and their gamma-radiation absorption abilities were investigated in this report. Optical related parameters such as the molar refractivity ( R m ), optical transmission ( T ), molar polarizability ( α m ), metallization criterion ( M ), reflection loss ( R L ), static ( ε s t a t i c ), and optical ( ε o p t i c a l ) dielectric constants were estimated through standard expressions, while photon attenuation parameters were estimated from data from photon transmission simulations in FLUKA code and XCOM software. The attenuation parameters were calculated for a wide energy photon spectrum (15 keV-15 MeV). LTNWM1, LTNWM2, and LTNWM3 had R m values of 18.94 cm3/mol, 21.45 cm3/mol, and 26.09 cm3/mol respectively. The α m has a value of 7.52 × 10-24 cm3 for LTNWM1, 8.51 × 10-24 cm3 for LTNWM2, and 10.35 × 10-24 cm3 for LTNWM3. The photon shielding parameters evaluated by FLUKA and XCOM are compatible. The mass attenuation coefficient for the glasses was between 0.0338 and 52.8261 cm2/g, 0.0336-58.0237 cm2/g, and 0.0344-52.1560 cm2/g for LTNWM1, LTNWM2 and LTNWM3, respectively. The effective atomic number at 1.5 MeV was 18.718, 20.857, and 22.440 for LTNWM1, LTNWM2, and LTNWM3, respectively. The shielding parameters of the HMOs compared to traditional gamma radiation absorbers are exceptional and highlight the potential of using them as optically transparent gamma-shields.

Abstract
The aberrant expression of aldo keto reductases (AKR1B1 & AKR1B10) has been extensively studied in different types of cancer especially the colon cancer but a very few studies have yet been reported regarding the discovery of inhibitors for the treatment of colon cancer by targeting these isozymes. Therefore, there is a need of selective inhibitors of both targets for the eradication of colon cancer. Currently, the study is focused on the exploration of two quinolone compounds i.e., (S)-(6-Methoxyquinolin-4-yl)[(1S,2R,4S,5R)-5-vinylquinuclidin-2-yl]methanol (Quinidine) and (R)-(6-Methoxyquinolin-4-yl)[(1S,2S,4S,5R)-5-vinylquinuclidin-2-yl]methanol (Quinine) as the potential inhibitors of AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 via detailed in-silico approach. The structural properties including vibrational frequencies, dipole moment, polarizability and the optimization energies were estimated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations; where both compounds were found chemically reactive. After that, the optimized structures were used for the molecular docking studies and here quinidine was found more selective towards AKR1B1 and quinine exhibited maximum inhibition of AKR1B10. The results of molecular docking studies were validated by molecular dynamics simulations which provided the deep insight of stability of protein ligand complex. At the end, the ADMET properties were determined to demonstrate the druglikeness properties of both selected compounds. These findings suggested further exploration of both compounds at molecular level using different in-vivo and in-vitro approaches that will lead to the designing of potential inhibitor of AKR1B1/AKR1B10 for curing colon cancer and related malignancies.

Abstract
NEK7 is a NIMA related-protein kinase that plays a crucial role in spindle assembly and cell division. Dysregulation of NEK7 protein leads to development and progression of different types of malignancies including colon and breast cancers. Therefore, NEK7 could be considered as an attractive target for anti-cancer drug discovery. However, few efforts have been made for the development of selective inhibitors of NIMA-related kinase but still no FDA approved drug is known to selectively inhibit the NEK7 protein. Dacomitinib and Neratinib are two Enamide derivatives that were approved for treatment against non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer respectively. Drug repurposing is a time and cost-efficient method for re-evaluating the activities of previously authorized medications. Thus, the present research involves the repurposing of two FDA-approved medications via comprehensive in silico approach including Density functional theory (DFTs) studies which were conducted to determine the electronic properties of the Dacomitinib and Neratinib. Afterward, binding orientation of selected drugs inside NEK7 activation loop was evaluated through molecular docking approach. Selected drugs exhibited potential molecular interactions engaging important amino acid residues of active site. The docking score of Dacomitinib and Neratinib was -30.77 and -26.78 kJ/mol, respectively. The top ranked pose obtained from molecular docking was subjected to Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations for investigating the stability of protein-ligand complex. The RMSD pattern revealed the stability of protein-ligand complex throughout simulated trajectory. In conclusion, both drugs displayed inhibitory efficacy against NEK7 protein and provide a prospective therapy option for malignant malignancies linked with NEK7. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) from computer monitors and television sets are considered as one of the main sources of waste materials worldwide. Therefore, a new application for such out of use materials is required to solve the relatively huge amount of this waste. In this paper, the popular melt-quench technique was used to synthesis glass samples with the structure: xBi2O3-(100-x) waste CRTs (where x = 0, 10 & 20 wt%) and designated as CRT-Bi0, CRT-Bi10, and CRT-Bi20 accordingly. The physical, structural, optical and radiation absorption competence of the glasses were investigated. The XRD analysis of the glasses reveals an amorphous structure while the mass density increased linearly with the Bi2O3 content of the glasses from 2.86 to 3.08 g/cm3. The optical absorbance of the glasses initially increased and later declined in the visible region as the weight fraction of Bi2O3 increased. The direct optical bandgap Eg values were found to be 3.26, 2.72, and 2.64 eV whereas the indirect Eg values were equal to 3.15, 2.30, and 2.26 eV for CRT-Bi0, CRT-Bi10, and CRT-Bi20, respectively. The gamma-ray interaction parameters of the glasses obtained through FLUKA simulations and XCOM computation showed that mass attenuation falls within the range 0.6991-0.0256, 1.1426-0.0276, 1.5860-0.0301 cm2/g for photon energy range 0.1-10 MeV. Generally, the computed gamma ray interaction quantities show that the gamma ray shielding ability of the CRT-Bi glasses follows the order: CRT-Bi0 < CRT-Bi10 < CRT-Bi20. This order is conserved in the computed interaction cross sections for thermal (25 meV) neutrons. On the other hand the fast neutron removal cross section follows a reverse order with values of 0.0891 cm-1, 0.0867 cm-1, and 0.0850 cm-1 for weight fraction of Bi2O3 from 0 to 20 wt%. The comparison of the gamma-ray attenuation capacity of the CRT-Bi20 with common shielding materials reveals good potential for shielding application. Out of use CRT glasses may thus be recycled for use as radiation shielding glasses as described in this study for gamma radiation protection applications.

Abstract
This research study addresses the computational simulations of optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics of silver (Ag) cluster doped graphyne (GY) complexes. By precisely following DFT and TD-DFT hypothetical computations, in-depth characterization of GY@Agcenter, GY@Agside, GY@2Agperpendicular, GY@2Agabove, and GY@3Agcenter is accomplished using CAM-B3LYP/LANL2DZ while the CAM-B3LYP/mixed basis set is used for study of 2GY@Agcenter, 2GY@Agside, 2GY@2Agperpendicular, 2GY@2Agabove, and 2GY@3Agcenter. The effects of various graphyne surface based complexes on hyperpolarizabilities, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), density of states (DOS), absorption maximum (λ max), binding energy (E b), dipole moment (μ), electron density distribution map (EDDM), transition density matrix (TDM), electrostatic potential (ESP), vertical ionization energy (E VI) and electrical conductivity (σ) have been investigated. Infrared (IR), non-covalent interaction (NCI) analysis accompanied by isosurface are performed to study the vibrational frequencies and type of interaction. Doping strategies in all complexes impressively reformed charge transfer characteristics such as narrowing band gap (E g) in the range of 2.58-4.73 eV and enhanced λ max lying in the range of 368-536 nm as compared to pure GY with 5.78 eV E g and 265 nm λ max for (GY@Agcenter-GY@3Agcenter). In the case of (2GY@Agcenter-2GY@3Agcenter), when compared to 2GY with 5.58 eV E g and 275 nm absorption, maximum doping techniques have more effectively modified λ max in the region of 400-548 nm and E g, which is in the order of 2.55-4.62 eV. GY@3Agcenter and 2GY@3Agcenter reflected a noteworthy increment in linear polarizability α O (436.90 au) and (586 au) and the first hyperpolarizability β O (5048.77 au) and (17 270 au) because of their lowest excitation energy (ΔE) when studied in comparison with GY (α O = 281.54 and β O = 0.21 au) and 2GY surface (α O = 416 and β O = 0.06 au). Focusing on harmony between the tiny Ag clusters and graphyne surface as well as their influences on NLO properties, graphyne doping using its two-unit cells (2GY) is found to be expedient for the development of future nanoscale devices.

Abstract
In this paper, we used Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effect of TiO2/V2O5 substitution on the radiation shielding properties of alkali borate glasses in the chemical form of 30Li2O+55B2O3+5ZnO + xTiO2+(10 - x)V2O5, where x = 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mol%. Also, the optical properties were examined by evaluating several factors such as molar refraction (Rm), metallization criterion (M), molar polarizability (αm), dielectric coefficients (static and optical), optical transmission (T), and reflection loss (RL). The radiation shielding properties of the tested glasses were estimated by determining the mass attenuation coefficient, and other related factors such as the tenth value layer (TVL), the mean free path (MFP), the electron total stopping powers (Ψe) and the electron continuous slowing down approximation range (CSDA) (Φe) for different energy values. The results of Geant4 Monte Carlo were compared with the theoretical values calculated by XCOM platform. The results revealed that the TiO2/V2O5 substitution had a remarkable influence on the gamma shielding properties for the tested glasses. On the other hand, the optical properties slightly changed by the TiO2/V2O5 substitution. The gamma shielding properties of the tested glasses were compared with many samples in terms of MFP. The present glasses showed superior features to apply for optical and radiation shielding applications.

Abstract
Mass attenuation coefficients ([Formula: see text]) for some nonlinear optical materials such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, zinc tris-thiourea sulphate, and zinc thiourea chloride were measured using a [Formula: see text] NaI(Tl) scintillation detector at gamma energies of 122 keV, 356 keV, 511 keV, 662 keV, 840 keV, 1170 keV, 1270 keV, and 1330 keV. In addition, GEANT4 simulations were carried out to mimic the experiment at these energies. As a result, good agreement between the experimental and GEANT4 results was observed. The measured [Formula: see text] values were used to compute effective atomic numbers ([Formula: see text]) for the selected materials. It was found that the [Formula: see text] values were in the range typical for dosimetric materials.
