Effects of biopsychosocial approach on cognition among Parkinson's population.

Background: Cognitive decline is a debilitating symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). Cognitive impairment in PD has a significant impact on many aspects of an individual's life, social interactions, and overall quality of life (QOL). It is also associated with a faster disease progression and an increased risk of developing dementia.

A comparative study of iron nanoflower and nanocube in terms of antibacterial properties.

Unlabelled: It is known that heavy metal containing nanomaterials can easily prevent the formation of microbial cultures. The emergence of new generation epidemic diseases in the last 2 years has increased the importance of both personal and environmental hygiene. For this reason, in addition to preventing the spread of diseases, studies on alternative disinfectant substances are also carried out.

Preconcentrations of Pb(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) by solid phase bio-extractor using thermophilic Bacillus subtilis loaded multiwalled carbon nanotube biosorbent.

An alternative biotechnological solid phase bio-extraction (SPE) method was developed. Bacillus subtilis loaded multiwalled carbon nanotube was designed and used as biosorbent for the preconcentrations of Pb(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II). The experimental parameters such as sample flow rate, pH of sample solution, amounts of Bacillus subtilis and multiwalled carbon nanotube, volume of sample solution and reusability of column which affects the analytical characteristics of the SPE method were investigated in details.

Coupling wastewater valorization with sustainable biofuel production: Comparison of lab- and pilot-scale biomass yields of Chlorella sorokiniana grown in wastewater under photoautotrophic and mixotrophic conditions.

Microalgae are the important biofuel precursors and their economic cultivation can be boosted under mixotrophic (MT) conditions while employing different industrial wastewaters containing organic carbon. In the current research, the quantitative analysis of microalgal biomass production under MT and photoautotrophic (PT) cultivation conditions both at lab and pilot scales was studied. For the purpose, a pre-identified microalgal species Chlorella sorokiniana was cultivated mixotrophically and photoautotrophically at lab and pilot scales.

Atropisomerism in Rilpivirine hydrochloride: Spectroscopic characterization of Rilpivirine and related impurities.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique has been used to find the property of atropisomerism in Rilpivirine hydrochloride by variable temperature analysis and various 2D techniques. Both the Rilpivirine hydrochloride (E-isomer) and Impurity-A (Z-isomer) isomers have been differentiated and confirmed by NMR and ultraviolet techniques. Preparative high-performance liquid chromatography isolation for Impurity-A is followed by spectroscopic (NMR, mass spectra, and infrared) investigation that provides a perfect solution for determination of the structure of Rilpivirine and related impurities.

A Method for Reducing the Singlet-Triplet Energy Gaps of TADF Materials for Improving the Blue OLED Efficiency.

We have successfully synthesized a series of blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters, BPy-pC, BPy-pTC, BPy-p2C, and BPy-p3C, bearing a 4-benzoylpyridine core as the electron-accepting unit and carbazolyl, tert-butylcarbazolyl, dicarbazolyl, and tercarbazolyl groups as the electron-donating units, respectively. The density functional theory calculation shows that all of the compounds have their lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals on the benzoylpyridine moiety. However, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of BPy-p3C is widely dispersed to the whole tercarbazolyl group, while the HOMOs of BPy-pC and BPy-pTC are mainly on the carbazolyl and extended to the phenyl ring.

A New Molecular Design Based on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence for Highly Efficient Organic Light Emitting Diodes.

Two benzoylpyridine-carbazole based fluorescence materials DCBPy and DTCBPy, bearing two carbazolyl and 4-(t-butyl)carbazolyl groups, respectively, at the meta and ortho carbons of the benzoyl ring, were synthesized. These molecules show very small ΔEST of 0.03 and 0.

Rh(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 1-substituted isoquinolinium salts via a C-H bond activation reaction of ketimines with alkynes.

An efficient synthesis of highly substituted isoquinolinium salts from ketimines and alkynes via a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation and annulation reaction is described.

Synthesis of Phenanthridinones from N-methoxybenzamides and aryltriethoxysilanes through Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H and N-H bond activation.

An efficient method for the one-pot synthesis of substituted phenanthridinone derivatives from N-methoxybenzamides and aryltriethoxysilanes through rhodium-catalyzed dual C-H bond activation and annulation reactions is described. A double-cycle mechanism is proposed to account for this catalytic reaction. In addition, isotope-labeling studies were performed to understand the intimate mechanism of the reaction.

Ru(II)-catalyzed C-H bond activation for the synthesis of substituted isoquinolinium salts from benzaldehydes, amines, and alkynes.

An efficient method for the synthesis of substituted isoquinolinium salts from benzaldehydes, amines, and alkynes via ruthenium-catalyzed C-H bond activation and annulation in one pot is described.
