Abstract
Fibrillation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is the key event in the amyloid neurotoxicity process that induces a chain of toxic events including oxidative stress, caspase activation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in neuronal loss and memory decline manifesting as clinical dementia in humans. Herein, we report the development of a novel, biologically active supramolecular probe, INHQ, and achieve functional nanoarchitectures via a self-assembly process such that ultralong fibers are achieved spontaneously. With specifically decorated functional groups on INHQ such as imidazole, hydroxyquinoline, hydrophobic chain, and hydroxyquinoline molecules, these ultralong fibers coassembled efficiently with toxic Aβ oligomers and mitigated the amyloid-induced neurotoxicity by blocking the aforementioned biochemical events leading to neuronal damage in mice. These functional ultralong "Artificial Fibers" morphologically resemble the amyloid fibers and provide a higher surface area of interaction that improves its clearance ability against the Aβ aggregates. The efficacy of this novel INHQ molecule was ascertained by its high ability to interact with Aβ. Moreover, this injectable, ultralong INHQ functional "artificial fiber" translocates through the blood-brain barrier and successfully attenuates the amyloid-triggered neuronal damage and pyknosis in the cerebral cortex of wild-type mouse. Utilizing various spectroscopic techniques, morphology analysis, and in vitro, in silico, and in vivo studies, these ultralong INHQ fibers are proven to hold great promise for treating neurological disorders at all stages with a potential to replace the existing medications, reduce complications in the brain, and eradicate the amyloid-triggered neurotoxicity implicated in numerous disorders in human through a rare synergistic mechanism.

Abstract
In 21st century, the energy demand has grown incredibly due to globalization, human population explosion and growing megacities. This energy demand is being mostly fulfilled by fossil-based sources, which are non-renewable and a major cause of global warming. Energy from these fossil-based sources is cheaper, however challenges exist in terms of climate change. This makes renewable energy sources more promising and viable for the future. Hydrogen is a promising renewable energy carrier for fulfilling the increasing energy demand due to its high energy density, non-toxic and environment friendly characteristics. It is a non-toxic energy carrier as combustion of hydrogen produces water as the byproduct whereas other conventional fuels produce harmful gases and carcinogens. Because of its lighter weight, hydrogen leaks are also easily dispersed in the atmosphere. Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, yet it is not readily available in nature like other fossil fuels. Hence, it is a secondary energy source and hydrogen needs to be produced from water or biomass-based feedstock for it to be considered renewable and sustainable. This paper reviews the renewable hydrogen generation pathways such as water splitting, thermochemical conversion of biomass and biological conversion technologies. Purification and storage technologies of hydrogen is also discussed. The paper also discusses the hydrogen economy and future prospects from an Indian context. Hydrogen purification is necessary because of high purity requirements in particular applications like space, fuel cells etc. Various applications of hydrogen are also addressed and a cost comparison of various hydrogen generation technologies is also analyzed. In conclusion, this study can assist researchers in getting a better grasp of various renewable hydrogen generation pathways, it's purification and storage technologies along with applications of hydrogen in understanding the hydrogen economy and its future prospect.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of homometallic hexanuclear lanthanide complexes [Ln6(HL)4(tfa)4(S)2]·2NO3·x H2O·yMeOH (1, Ln = Gd, S = MeOH, x = 0, y = 0; 2, Ln = Tb, S = H2O, x = 2, y = 2; 3, Ln = Dy, S = MeOH, x = 0, y = 2; 4, Ln = Er, S = MeOH, x = 0, y = 2). [(H4L) = 6-((bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)picolinohydrazide) (tfa = trifloroacetylacetone)] are reported. These hexanuclear assemblies are made up of two trinuclear triangular sub-units linked through the oxygen atoms of two phenoxide bridging groups in a corner sharing arrangement. Magnetic studies reveal that 1 displays a magnetocaloric effect with a maximum value of -ΔSm = 21.03 J kg-1 K-1 at T = 3 K and under an applied field change ΔB = 5 T. Complex 3 shows slow relaxation of magnetization even under zero applied field although a clear maximum in the ac susceptibility plots cannot be seen. However, under an optimal applied field of 0.2 T, clear maxima are observed in the out-of-phase (χ''M) component of the ac susceptibility in the temperature range 3.5 K (2 kHz) to 10.5 K (10 kHz). The temperature dependence of the relaxation times could be fitted to the sum of Orbach, Raman and QTM relaxation processes affording the following parameters: τo = 3.4(9) × 10-8 s, Ueff = 94(2) K, BRaman = 16.43(1) K-n s-1, n = 3.2(3) and τQTM = 0.0044(3) s. 4, under an applied magnetic field of 0.2 T, shows slow relaxation of magnetization through a thermally activated Orbach process with Ueff = 18.2(9) K and τo = 3.5(3) × 10-8 s.

Abstract
Understanding the behavior of a material under irradiation is paramount to its application in the nuclear industry. The present work explores the radiation response of garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) and Nd3+-substituted Y3Al5O12 (Nd-YAG) under a 100 MeV Iodine beam at varying fluences to mimic the effect of fission fragments. This is relevant to the potential application of garnet as a host for minor actinide (MA) transmutation (Nd3+: surrogate for long-lived MA (Am3+, Np3+, Cm3+)). The un-irradiated and irradiated YAG and Nd-YAG samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Positron annihilation spectroscopy, thermal spike modelling and theoretical studies have been employed to understand the role of substitution and defect energetics in influencing this radiation response. Although both materials were not completely amorphized under the present irradiation conditions, a tremendous loss in crystallinity could be observed with increase in fluence, the damage being much more in Nd-YAG. Ion track radii of 2.17 nm and 2.91 nm were estimated for YAG and Nd-YAG respectively. Thermal-spike calculations show an increase in radiation-induced transient temperatures upon Nd-substitution that causes greater radiation damage in Nd-YAG. The enhancement in radiation-induced damage with increasing ion-fluence manifests in broadening and weakening of the Raman modes and XRD peaks. An increase in the average positron annihilation lifetime indicated the creation of oxygen vacancies. The defect formation energies of Y3Al5O12 have been theoretically estimated via density functional theory (DFT) and unfavorable energies required for creating cation pair anti-sites have been proposed as one of the possible reasons for the relatively poorer radiation response of YAG. The irradiation behavior of Y3Al5O12 has been compared with disordered fluorite (YSZ) and zirconate pyrochlores, which are well-researched ceramics for MA transmutation.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of [(L)DyIII(Cy3PO)2]·[BPh4] (1-Dy) (where H2L = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-benzoylhydrazone and Cy = cyclohexyl) which crystallized in the triclinic, P1̄ space group. The local geometry around Dy(III) in 1-Dy was found to be pentagonal bipyramidal (pseudo-D5h). The AC magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on 1-Dy and on its diluted 1-Y(Dy) samples showed a typical single-molecule magnet signature revealed by the appearance of AC-frequency dependent out-of-phase susceptibility signals in the absence of a static magnetic field. The out-of-phase AC susceptibility signals were well resolved on the application of a small magnetic field (HDC = 500 Oe) and yielded an energy barrier for magnetization flipping of Ueff/kB = 50 K for the diluted derivative. The magnetic studies on 1-Dy and 1-Y(Dy) and data analysis further confirm that Raman and QTM under-barrier magnetic relaxations play a crucial role in lowering Ueff despite the almost axial nature of the Dy(III) ion in 1-Dy. We have rationalized these observations through detailed ab initio calculations performed on the X-ray crystal structure of 1-Dy.

Abstract
Regulated oxidative stress (OS) is important during pregnancy. Sporadic studies suggest the significance of deregulated OS in hepatitis E virus (HEV) infected pregnancy, but with limited reactive oxygen species (ROS) or antioxidant markers. The present novel study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the significance of ROS-antioxidant imbalance and resulting altered OS in HEV infected pregnancy complications like preterm delivery (PTD) and outcome. Difference in serum levels of ROS and antioxidant panel of markers were evaluated by ELISA for HEV immunoglobulin M RNA positive genotype 1 cases (including acute [acute viral hepatitis, AVH] and fulminant [fulminant hepatic failure, FHF] cases) and healthy term delivery subjects, and analyzed statistically. Direct ROS marker H2 O2 levels and indirect OS marker for DNA damage 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine was significantly increased in HEV-cases compared to controls, and was associated and prognostic factor for PTD and fetal death in HEV cases. A comparatively lower total serum antioxidant capacity was observed in the FHF cases compared to the control subjects and the AVH cases. Glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were significantly associated with PTD in the FHF sub-cohorts (p = 0.017) and AVH sub-cohorts (p < 0.001), respectively, and was associated with poor prognosis in HEV cases. The serum H2 O2 levels were found to be negatively correlated with SOD activity (p = 0.016) and GSH levels (p = 0.001) in the HEV-AVH cases; and positively correlated with the viral load in HEV cases (p = 0.023). The ROS-antioxidant imbalance resulting OS plays a detrimental associative role in HEV infected pregnancy complications like PTD and adverse pregnancy outcomes; and holds therapeutic significance.

Abstract
The function of engineered thermal backfills surrounding underground pipelines of the crude oil industry is to prohibit heat migration for the design period of 25 to 50 years. Biochar is suitable for reconstituting standard thermal backfill material since it is biochemically inert and has a low heat conductivity. However, the preparation of biochar from biomass involves an energy-intensive pyrolysis process. This study aims to make biochar production energy-efficient via optimizing the pyrolysis temperatures, specifically for thermal backfill applications. Ten distinct biochars were prepared by pyrolyzing two waste biomass, i.e., water hyacinth (WH) and sugarcane bagasse (SB), at temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 °C. The biochars were assessed based on their thermal conductivity, energy consumption, yield, and stability in soil for the design period. The thermal conductivity of produced biochars varied in a narrow range of 0.10 to 0.13 W m-1 K-1 with different pyrolysis temperatures, which is possibly due to marginal differences in their microstructure, mineralogy, and physicochemical properties. The findings revealed that the biochar produced at lowest pyrolysis temperature (300 °C) consumed least energy and produced maximum yield. However, it was not suitable for thermal backfill applications due to its inadequate carbon stability in soil. Therefore, the current study recommends a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C for thermal backfill applications. The recommended pyrolysis temperature was found to be at least 60% energy efficient in comparison to pyrolysis at 700 °C for both the feedstocks. This study provides crucial insight into the role of pyrolysis temperature for tailoring biochar production for intended applications.

Abstract
Pulsed-power generators can produce well-controlled continuous ramp compression of condensed matter for high-pressure equation-of-state studies using the magnetic loading technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data from dynamically compressed samples provide direct measurements of the elastic compression of the crystal lattice, onset of plastic flow, strength-strain rate dependence, structural phase transitions, and density of crystal defects, such as dislocations. Here, we present a cost-effective, compact, pulsed x-ray source for XRD measurements on pulsed-power-driven ramp-loaded samples. This combination of magnetically driven ramp compression of materials with a single, short-pulse XRD diagnostic will be a powerful capability for the dynamic materials' community to investigate in situ dynamic phase transitions critical to equation of states. We present results using this new diagnostic to evaluate lattice compression in Zr and Al and to capture signatures of phase transitions in CdS.

Abstract
We have developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) cocktail (ZRC-3308) comprising of ZRC3308-A7 and ZRC3308-B10 in the ratio 1:1 for COVID-19 treatment. The mAbs were designed to have reduced immune effector functions and increased circulation half-life. mAbs showed good binding affinities to non-competing epitopes on RBD of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and were found neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1, B.1.1.7, B.1.351, B.1.617.2, and B.1.617.2 AY.1 in vitro. The mAb cocktail demonstrated effective prophylactic and therapeutic activity against SARS-CoV-2 infection in Syrian hamsters. The antibody cocktail appears to be a promising candidate for prophylactic use and for therapy in early COVID-19 cases that have not progressed to severe disease.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are one of the widely used metallic nanoparticle having unique surface plasmon characteristic, offers major utility in biomedical and therapeutic fields. However, chemically synthesized nanoparticle creates toxicity in the living organisms and contradicts the eco-friendly and cost-effective nature. So, developing greener synthetic route for synthesis of gold nanoparticle using natural materials is an enthralling field of research for its effectiveness in synthesizing eco-friendly, non-toxic materials. Moreover, biological components attached as stabilizing agent can exert its own effect along with the advantages of nanoparticle conjugation. In this work, we used for the first time methanolic leaf extract of Moringa oleifera as this fraction of M. oleifera exerts a neuroactive modulation against seizure as evidenced by earlier literature. The green gold nanoparticles synthesized were characterized by different characterization tools, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques etc. Prepared nanoparticles were biologically (antioxidant, antimicrobial and blood cytotoxicity) characterized to screen their further utility in therapeutic strategies. Characteristics and activities of green gold nanoparticles were compared with conventional citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles. It was observed that green gold nanoparticles prepared using M. oleifera show less cytotoxicity and helps in regeneration of neuronal cells in animal model study. It establishes the fact that conjugation of different plant extract fraction for stabilization of gold nanoparticle may be responsible factor for enhancement of bioactive nature of green gold nanoparticle. In addition, the green gold nanoparticle show efficient photo-catalytic efficiency. Development of such bioactive gold nanoparticles will lead to functional materials for biomedical and therapeutic applications. Gold nanoparticles are one of the widely used metallic nanoparticle having unique surface plasmon characteristic, offers major utility in biomedical and therapeutic fields.![]()

Abstract
A series of homometallic dinuclear lanthanide complexes containing nonequivalent lanthanide metal centers [Ln2(LH2)(LH)(CH3OH)(N3)]·xMeOH·yH2O [1, Ln = DyIII, x = 0, y = 2; 2, Ln = TbIII, x = 1, y = 1] have been synthesized [LH4 = 6-((bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)picolinohydrazide] and characterized. The dinuclear assembly contains two different types of nine-coordinated lanthanide centers, because the nonequivalent binding of the azide co-ligand as well as the varying coordination of the deprotonated Schiff base ligand. Detailed magnetic studies have been performed on the complexes 1 and 2. Complex 1 and its diluted analogue (15%) are zero-field SMMs with effective energy barriers (Ueff) of magnetization reversal equal to 59(3) K and 66(3) K and relaxation times of τ0 = 10(4) × 10-6 s and 10(4) × 10-8 s, respectively. On the other hand, complex 2 shows a field-induced SMM behavior. Combined ab initio and density functional theory calculations were performed to explain the experimental findings and to unravel the nature of the magnetic anisotropy, exchange-coupled spectra, and magnetic exchange interactions between the two lanthanide centers.

Abstract
The present study focuses on optimizing the engine operating parameters of a dual-fuel (DF) engine. Producer gas (PG) and Honge oil methyl ester (HOME) are used as primary fuel and pilot fuel respectively for the operation. An experimental design matrix of 20 different combinations was considered using Design of Experiments (DoE), based on the central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of these combinations were experimentally investigated to calculate the performance and emission characteristics of the engine. The objective of the work is to maximize the Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and minimize the exhaust gas temperature (EGT), nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The RSM model is developed using the experimental data and further, the operating parameters were optimized using the desirability approach. The optimized combination of operating parameters was obtained at 61.10% engine load, compression ratio (CR) of 18, and injection timing (IT) of 23.30° before top dead center (BTDC). The optimum responses corresponding to these operating conditions were found as 14.23%, 354.29 °C, 52.18 ppm, 39.53 ppm, and 0.51% for BTE, EGT, NOx, HC, and CO respectively with an overall desirability of 0.962. The optimized responses were validated experimentally at optimum input conditions and found to be within acceptable error levels. Further, an economic analysis of the optimized DF system is also carried out.

Abstract
Background: This article provides, for the first time, a comprehensive view on everyday practice and evidence-based advice on the regular use of saline nasal sprays or drops to support nasal function and to help protect from airborne pollutants, pollens and viruses. Method: An extensive literature search was conducted with PubMed, Google Scholar and national healthcare databases to identify and summarise the evidence available to date on the role of saline nasal sprays or drops in nasal hygiene. Clinical perspectives from international respiratory specialists were included. Results: Following the PubMed searches, twenty-three articles were assessed in adults and children using isotonic or hypertonic saline nasal sprays and drops, including five systematic reviews and 11 randomised controlled trials. Six national clinical guidance documents were included from the other database searches to give a total of 29 articles. The findings support that regular, daily use of saline nasal sprays or drops could provide relief from nasal symptoms in adults and children with upper respiratory tract infections or allergic rhinitis; future studies are expected to demonstrate benefit following air pollutant exposure. No serious adverse events were reported. National guidance recommends daily nasal hygiene with saline sprays and drops, some from infancy. Conclusion: Regular, daily use of saline nasal spray or drops could reduce the effects of noxious stimuli in the nose, helping to support respiratory health.

Abstract
The reaction of a bulky acetyl acetone ligand 1,3-dimesitylpropane-1,3-dione (MesacacH) with hydrated lanthanide chlorides in the presence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide afforded a new family of neutral mononuclear LnIII complexes [Ln(Mesacac)3(DMF)] (Ln = Dy (1); Tb (2); Y0.91Dy0.09 (3); and Er (4)). The molecular structures of these complexes were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The coordination geometries of the LnIII centre were analysed by SHAPE analysis which revealed a capped octahedral geometry in 1-4. Photoluminescence studies showed ligand-sensitized green emissions for 2 with an appreciable quantum yield of 0.83%. Static (dc) and dynamic (ac) magnetic studies of complexes 1 and 3 were performed. The dynamic magnetic study revealed that complex 1 exhibits zero-field slow relaxation of the magnetization without showing a clear maximum in the out-of-phase ac susceptibility plots. However, magnetic dilution of 1 with the YIII metal ion (complex 3) and/or the application of a dc magnetic field induces a strong frequency dependence of the ac susceptibility signals with χ''M peaks in the 3-10 K temperature range, thus supporting field-induced SMM behaviour of 1. The relaxation process takes place through a combination of the Orbach and Raman mechanisms. The fitting of the temperature dependence of the relaxation time to the equation τ-1 = τ0-1 exp(-Ueff/kBT) + BTn, allows the extraction of the effective energy barrier Ueff/kB = 70 K (48.7 cm-1) and pre-exponential parameter of τ0 = 2.7 × 10-7 s for the Orbach mechanism (first term) and the parameters B = 0.04 s-1 K-n and n = 6.11, for the Raman mechanism (second term).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited supply, cost and potential for severe adverse effects observed with the blood derived rabies immunoglobulin products has led to search for alternative therapies. This issue has been addressed by developing an antirabies monoclonal antibody cocktail. METHODS This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial conducted in patients with WHO category III exposure with suspected rabid animal. Eligible patients were assigned to either the test arm, TwinrabTM (docaravimab and miromavimab) or the reference arm, Human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG; Imogam® Rabies-HT), in a ratio of 1:1. The primary endpoint was the comparison of responder rates between the two arms assessed as percentage of those with rabies virus neutralizing antibodies titers ≥ 0.5 IU/mL on day 14. RESULTS A total of 308 patients were equally randomized into the two arms. In the per-protocol (PP) population, there were 90.21% responders in the TwinrabTM arm and, 94.37% in the HRIG arm. The Geometric Mean of RFFIT titres in the PP on day 14 were 4.38 and 4.85 IU/mL, for the TwinrabTM and HRIG arms, respectively. There were no deaths or serious adverse events reported. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed that TwinrabTM is non-inferior to HRIG in terms of providing an unbroken window of protection up to day 84. This trial in healthy adults with WHO category III exposure from suspected rabid animal also establishes the safety of TwinrabTM in patients with one WHO approved vaccine regimen (Essen).

Abstract
A series of neutral homologous complexes [(L)Ln(Cy3PO)Cl] {where Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), and Er (5)} and [(L)Dy(Ph3PO)Cl] (4) [H2L = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-benzoylhydrazone] were isolated. In these complexes, the central lanthanide ion possesses a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with an overall pseudo D5h symmetry. The coordination environment around the lanthanide ion comprises of three nitrogen and two oxygen donors in an equatorial plane. The axial positions are taken up by a phosphine oxide (O donor) and a chloride ion. Among these compounds, the Dy(III) (3 and 4) analogues were found to be field-induced single-ion magnets.

Abstract
Sandia's Z Pulsed Power Facility is able to dynamically compress matter to extreme states with exceptional uniformity, duration, and size, which are ideal for investigating fundamental material properties of high energy density conditions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a key atomic scale probe since it provides direct observation of the compression and strain of the crystal lattice and is used to detect, identify, and quantify phase transitions. Because of the destructive nature of Z-Dynamic Material Property (DMP) experiments and low signal vs background emission levels of XRD, it is very challenging to detect a diffraction signal close to the Z-DMP load and to recover the data. We have developed a new Spherical Crystal Diffraction Imager (SCDI) diagnostic to relay and image the diffracted x-ray pattern away from the load debris field. The SCDI diagnostic utilizes the Z-Beamlet laser to generate 6.2-keV Mn-Heα x rays to probe a shock-compressed material on the Z-DMP load. A spherically bent crystal composed of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is used to collect and focus the diffracted x rays into a 1-in. thick tungsten housing, where an image plate is used to record the data.

Abstract
Diradicals have been of tremendous interest for over a century ever since the first reports of p- and m-phenylene-bridged diphenylmethylradicals in 1904 by Thiele and 1915 by Schlenk. Reported here are the first examples of cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) analogues of Thiele's hydrocarbon, a Kekulé diradical, and Schlenk's hydrocarbon, a non-Kekulé diradical, without using CAAC as a precursor. The CAAC analogue of Thiele's hydrocarbon has a singlet ground state, whereas the CAAC analogue of Schlenk's hydrocarbon contains two unpaired electrons. The latter forms a dimer, by an intermolecular double head-to-tail dimerization. This straightforward synthetic methodology is modular and can be extended for the generation of redox-active organic compounds.

Abstract
We report the influence of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on the hydrolysis of a diphosphene TerP[double bond, length as m-dash]PTer (1; Ter = 2,6-Mes2C6H3; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2), a phosphorus-analogue of an alkene. The diphosphene 1 itself is completely inert towards water. However, NHCs have been found to activate 1 towards ready hydrolysis. While sterically less-encumbered NHCs react with 1 affording NHC-adducts which are in equilibrium with 1 in solution, sterically encumbered NHCs do not bind to 1 at all. Interestingly, in both of these situations hydrolysis of the P[double bond, length as m-dash]P motif proceeds efficiently. At low temperatures, sterically less-encumbered NHCs are catalytic while the sterically encumbered NHCs play a catalytic role at room temperature. To gain insight on this striking influence of NHCs on the hydrolysis of diphosphene detailed low-temperature 31P-NMR studies along with theoretical calculations have been carried out. In addition, systematic hydrolysis studies of all the NHCs used in this study have also been performed.

Abstract
Highly symmetric enneanuclear copper(ii) phosphates [Cu9(Pz)6(μ-OH)3(μ3-OH)(ArOPO3)4(DMF)3] (PzH = pyrazole, Ar = 2,6-(CHPh2)2-4-R-C6H2; R = Me, 2MeAr; Et, 2EtAr; iPr, 2iPrAr; and Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3, 2Dip) comprising nine copper(ii) centers and pyrazole, hydroxide and DMF as ancillary ligands were synthesized by a reaction involving the arylphosphate monoester, 1, copper(i)chloride, pyrazole, and triethylamine in a 4 : 9 : 6 : 14 ratio. All four complexes were characterized by single crystal structural analysis. The complexes contain two distinct structural motifs within the multinuclear copper scaffold: a hexanuclear unit and a trinuclear unit. In the latter, the three Cu(ii) centres are bridged by a μ3-OH. Each pair of Cu(ii) centers in the trinuclear unit are bridged by a pyrazole ligand. The hexanuclear unit is made up of three dinuclear Cu(ii) motifs where the two Cu(ii) centres are bridged by an -OH and a pyrazole ligand. The three dinuclear units are connected to each other by phosphate ligands. The latter also aid the fusion of the trinuclear and the hexanuclear motifs. Magnetic studies reveal a strong antiferromagnetic exchange between the Cu(ii) centres of the dinuclear units in the hexanuclear part and a strong spin frustration in the trinuclear part leading to a degenerate ground state.

Abstract
The vermicomposting potential of Eisenia fetida on citronella bagasse and paper mill sludge mixture was studied. The experiment was carried out in pots by taking a mixture of citronella bagasse and paper mill sludge in 3:2 ratios. The physico-chemical properties such as pH, conductivity, total organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, trace elements and heavy metals were studied in the end products. The ash content, humification index, C/N ratio and scanning electron microscopic analysis were done to understand the maturity of the vermicompost. Results revealed that bioconversion of citronella bagasse and paper mill sludge mixture is accompanied with reduction of C/N ratio and humification index; enhancement of nutrients profile, nitrogen fixing, phosphate and potassium solubilizing bacterial population. SEM analysis showed that there was more disintegration in vermicompost samples than the initial raw materials and compost. Further, earthworm population and biomass has significantly increased by the end of the experimental trials.

Abstract
We have studied the effect of N-substitution on the course of the reaction of imidazolium triflate. The reaction of N-heterocyclic carbene with N-tBu-substituted pyrrolinium triflate afforded 2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-imidazolium triflate, 3R. Treatment of 3R with potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS) leads to either the dealkylation product 4 or the deprotonation product, triazaalkene 5, depending on the N-substitution at the imidazolium moiety. Density functional studies using the B3LYP/TZVP setup have been employed to explore various pathways for the dealkylation reaction and the calculated energies support the dealkylation by a large energy margin compared to the deprotonatation process. Theoretical calculations revealed that dealkylation reaction is thermodynamically more favorable than deprotonation. The triazaalkene 5 could be oxidized by AgOTf to the corresponding radical cation 6 and dication 7 in-situ. While 6 and 7 could not be isolated, the formation of the former is inferred by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and its abstraction of a H-atom to afford 3Me. Similarly, the formation of the dication 7 is inferred by its ready elimination of isobutylene affording 8.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and molecular structures of various magnesium(ii)-phosphate monoesters. By using a bulky aryl substituted phosphate monoester, ArOPO3H2 (Ar = 2,6-(CHPh2)2-4-tBu-C6H2), we have reproducibly assembled mono-, di-, tetra- (cage and ring), hexa-, and polynuclear magnesium(ii)-phosphate monoesters. Interestingly, the hexanuclear magnesium(ii)-phosphate monoester encapsulates an open-cage dodecanuclear water cluster.

Abstract
The reaction of LnCl3·6H2O with a multidentate flexible Schiff base ligand (LH4), H2O3PtBu and trifluoroacetic acid (tfaH) afforded a series of homometallic tetranuclear complexes, [Ln4(LH2)2(O3PtBu)2(μ2-η1η1tfa)2][2Cl] (Ln = DyIII (1), TbIII (2) and GdIII (3)). The tetranuclear lanthanide core contains two structurally different lanthanide centres, one being in a distorted trigonal dodecahedron geometry and the other in a distorted trigonal prism. Complexes 1-3 were investigated via direct and alternating current (DC and AC) magnetic susceptibility measurements. Only 1 revealed a weak single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour. Alternating current (ac) magnetic susceptibility measurements on 1 reveal a frequency-dependent out-of-phase signal. However, the absence of distinct maxima in the χ'' peak (within the temperature/frequency range of our experiments) prevented deduction of the experimental energy barrier for magnetization reversal (Ueff) and the relaxation time. We have carried out extensive ab initio (CASSCF + RASSI-SO + SINGLE_ANISO + POLY_ANISO) calculations on complexes 1-2 to gain deeper insights into the nature of magnetic anisotropy. Our calculations yielded only one exchange coupling parameter between the two LnIII centres bridged by the ligand (neglecting the exchange between the LnIII centres that are not proximal wrt each other). All the extracted J values indicate a weakly antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centres (J = -0.025 cm-1 for 1 and J = -0.015 cm-1 for 2). Calculated exchange coupled Ucal values of ∼5 and ∼1 cm-1 in 1 and 2 respectively nicely corroborated the experimental observations regarding weak and no SMM characteristics. Our calculations indicated the presence of a net single-molecule toroidal (SMT) behaviour in complex 2. On the other hand, fitting the magnetic data (susceptibility and magnetization) in the isotropic cluster 3 revealed weak AFM exchange couplings of J1 = 0.025 cm-1 and J2 = -0.020 cm-1 which are consistent with those for GdIII ions.

Abstract
The reaction of a tridentate NNO donor ligand, 4-nitro-2-((2-(pyridine-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (HL) with lanthanide(iii) nitrates in the presence of triethylamine afforded a new family of neutral mononuclear LnIII complexes [Ln(NO3)(L)2(HOCH3)] (Ln = Gd; (1) Tb; (2), Dy; (3), and Ho (4). The mononuclear complexes were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies which revealed a spherical tricapped trigonal prism geometry with a pseudo D3h symmetry around the LnIII centre. Static (dc) and dynamic (ac) magnetic studies have been performed on these complexes. Field-induced single-ion magnet behaviour was observed in the DyIII analogue with an effective energy barrier and an pre-exponential factor of Δ/kB = 68(2) K and τ0 = 1.8 × 10-7 s, respectively.

Abstract
A new strategy to synthesise 2-substituted pyrrolinium salts.
The synthesis of organic radicals is challenging due to their inherent instability. In recent years, cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC)-derived 2-substituted pyrrolinium salts have been used as synthons for the synthesis of isolable carbon-based radicals. Herein, we report a direct, easy and convenient method for the synthesis of 2-aryl substituted pyrrolinium salts without using CAAC as a precursor. These cations can be reduced to the corresponding radicals. The influence of the aryl substituent at the C-2 position on radical stabilization and dimerization has been investigated. Because of the large scope of our strategy (capability to modulate different substituents at all the C- and N-centres of the pyrrolinium salts), it has the merit to be an extremely effective and productive route for generating carbon-based radicals whose stability as well as reactivity can be varied.

Abstract
Syntheses and structures of anionic arylphosphate monoesters [ArOP(O)2(OH)]- (Ar = 2,6-CHPh2-4-R-C6H2; R = Me/Et/iPr/tBu) with different counter cations are reported. The counter cations were varied systematically: imidazolium cation, 2-methyl imidazolium cation, N-methyl imidazolium cation, N,N'-alkyl substituted imidazolium cation, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium cation, 4,4'-bipyridinium dication, and magnesium(II) dication. The objective was to examine if the supramolecular structure of anionic arylphosphate monoesters could be modulated by varying the cation. It was found that an eight-membered P2O4H2-hydrogen-bonded dimeric motif involving intermolecular H-bonding between the [P(O)(OH)] unit of the anionic phosphate monoester along with the counter cation is formed with 2-methyl imidazolium cation, N-methyl imidazolium cation, N,N'-alkyl substituted imidazolium cation, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium cation, and magnesium(II) dication; both discrete and polymeric H-bonded structures are observed. In the case of imidazolium cations and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium cation, the formation of one-dimensional polymers (single lane/double lane) was observed. On the other hand, two types of phosphate motifs, intermolecular H-bonded dimer and an open-form, were observed in the case of 4,4'-bipyridinium dication.

Abstract
Herein we report two different reactivity modes of lithium(aryl)(boryl)amide, 4, when it is reacted with chlorosilanes such as SiCl4 and MeSiHCl2, and chlorophosphine, Ph2PCl. Thus, the reaction of lithium(aryl)(boryl)amide, 4, with MeSiHCl2 leads exclusively to an N-substitution product, 6. On the other hand, the reaction of 4 with SiCl4 and Ph2PCl proceeds completely differently affording exclusively p-aryl-C-substitution products, 5 and 7, respectively.

Abstract
X-ray diffraction measurements to characterize phase transitions of dynamically compressed high-Z matter at Mbar pressures require both sufficient photon energy and fluence to create data with high fidelity in a single shot. Large-scale laser systems can be used to generate x-ray sources above 10 keV utilizing line radiation of mid-Z elements. However, the laser-to-x-ray energy conversion efficiency at these energies is low, and thermal x-rays or hot electrons result in unwanted background. We employ polycapillary x-ray lenses in powder x-ray diffraction measurements using solid target x-ray emission from either the Z-Beamlet long-pulse or the Z-Petawatt (ZPW) short-pulse laser systems at Sandia National Laboratories. Polycapillary lenses allow for a 100-fold fluence increase compared to a conventional pinhole aperture while simultaneously reducing the background significantly. This enables diffraction measurements up to 16 keV at the few-photon signal level as well as diffraction experiments with ZPW at full intensity.

Abstract
Mononuclear lanthanide-based single-ion magnets (SIMs) are known since 2003 with the discovery of SIM properties in a bis-(phthalocyaninato)lanthanide complex. A recent report on [Dy(Cpttt)2][BC6F5] indicating that it exhibits the highest known blocking temperature (60 K) has spurred fresh interest in this area. In this article, we discuss about the various requirements of lanthanide-based SIMs along with representative examples. Specifically, we describe the complexes whose coordination numbers vary from 2 to 8. We also discuss the representative examples of organometallic lanthanide complexes that can function as molecular magnets.

Abstract
The addition reactions of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are mostly known to occur through the carbenic centre (C2), which leads to a "normal" adduct. Herein, we report the "abnormal" addition of NHCDip 1 (1,3-(2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 )-imidazole-2-ylidene) to a conjugate acid of cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene 2 (CAACiPr =1-iPr-3,3,5,5-Me4 -pyrrolinium triflate). Mechanistic study revealed that this reaction proceeded through the in situ formation of 1,3-(2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 )-imidazolium cation 4 and N-iPr-substituted CAAC 5 followed by the oxidative addition of compound 5 across the C4-H bond (alias backbone C-H) of compound 4. The in situ formation of compound 5 was also proven by the oxidative addition of it to the N-H group of iPrNH2 . DFT calculations also supported the mechanistic findings. A different methodology for the in situ generation of compound 5 by using TMPLi is also described.

Abstract
The reaction of 2-methoxy-6-[{2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylimino}methyl] phenol (LH3) with lanthanide metal salts followed by the addition of nickel acetate allowed isolation of a family of octanuclear complexes, [Ni4Ln4(μ2-OH)2(μ3-OH)4(μ-OOCCH3)8(LH2)4]·(OH)2·xH2O. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of these complexes reveal that their central metallic core consists of two tetranuclear [Ni2Ln2O4] cubane subunits fused together by acetate and hydroxide bridges. The magnetic study of these complexes reveals a ferromagnetic interaction between the LnIII and the NiII center. The magnitude of exchange coupling between the NiII and LnIII center, parametrized from the magnetic data of the Gd analogue, gives J = +0.86 cm-1. The magneto caloric effect, studied for the NiII 4GdIII 4 complex, shows a maximum of magnetic entropy change, -ΔS m = 22.58 J kg-1 K-1 at 3 K for an applied external field of 5 T.

Abstract
The reversible coordination of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) enhances the reactivity of a diphosphene towards hydrolysis and transfer hydrogenation. The hydrolysis is catalytic in NHC.
Diphosphene TerMesP = PTerMes (1; TerMes = 2,6-Mes2C6H3; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) and NHCMe42 (NHCMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) exist in an equilibrium mixture with the NHCMe4-coordinated diphosphene 3. While uncoordinated 1 is inert to hydrolysis, the NHC adduct 3 readily undergoes hydrolysis to afford a phosphino-substituted phosphine oxide with the liberation of NHCMe4. On this basis, conditions suitable for the catalytic use of NHCMe4 were identified. Similarly, while the hydrogenation of free diphosphene 1 with H3N·BH3 is very slow, 3 reacts instantaneously with H3N·BH3 at room temperature to afford a dihydrodiphosphane.

Abstract
NHC-stabilized 2-hydrophosphasilenes are obtained from 1,2-dihydro-2-chlorophosphasilanes as Si(iv) precursors by a NHC-assisted 1,2-elimination of HCl. The NHC-exchange of these compounds is demonstrated as a proof of donor acceptor bonding between NHC and the silicon centre of the "Si[double bond, length as m-dash]P" moiety. We have also explored the possibility of similar exchanges in NHC-stabilized Si2 and P2 compounds. Theoretical DFT calculations were performed to address the nature of Si-P bonding in the NHC-stabilized 2-hydrophosphasilenes.

Abstract
The sequential reaction of 2-((6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-methyleneamino)phenol (LH2), LnCl3·6H2O, and 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone (Htfa) in the presence of Et3N afforded [Ln(LH) (tfa)2] [Ln = Dy3+ (1), Ln = Tb3+ (2), and Ln = Gd3+ (3)], while under the same reaction conditions, but in the absence of the coligand, another series of mononuclear complexes, namely, [Ln(LH)2]·Cl·2MeOH] [Ln = Dy3+ (4) and Tb3+ (5)] are obtained. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the former set contains a mono-deprotonated [LH]- and two tfa ligands, while the latter set comprises of two mono-deprotonated [LH]- ligands that are nearly perpendicular to each other at an angle of 86.9°. Among these complexes, 2 exhibited a ligand-sensitized lanthanide-characteristic emission. Analyses of the alternating current susceptibility measurements reveal the presence of single-molecule magnet behavior for 1 and 4, in the presence of direct-current field, with effective energy barriers of 4.6 and 44.4 K, respectively. The enhancement of the effective energy barrier of the latter can be attributed to the presence of a large energy gap between the ground and first excited Kramers doublets, triggered by the change in coordination environments around the lanthanide centers.

Abstract
The Zebrafish Model Organism Database (ZFIN; zfin.org) serves as the central repository for genetic and genomic data produced using zebrafish (Danio rerio). Data in ZFIN are either manually curated from peer-reviewed publications or submitted directly to ZFIN from various data repositories. Data types currently supported include mutants, transgenic lines, DNA constructs, gene expression, phenotypes, antibodies, morpholinos, TALENs, CRISPRs, disease models, movies, and images. The rapidly changing methods of genomic science have increased the production of data that cannot readily be represented in standard journal publications. These large data sets require web-based presentation. As the central repository for zebrafish research data, it has become increasingly important for ZFIN to provide the zebrafish research community with support for their data sets and guidance on what is required to submit these data to ZFIN. Regardless of their volume, all data that are submitted for inclusion in ZFIN must include a minimum set of information that describes the data. The aim of this chapter is to identify data types that fit into the current ZFIN database and explain how to provide those data in the optimal format for integration. We identify the required and optional data elements, define jargon, and present tools and templates that can help with the acquisition and organization of data as they are being prepared for submission to ZFIN. This information will also appear in the ZFIN wiki, where it will be updated as our services evolve over time.
