This article describes an optically adjustable, dual complementary molecular TRANSFER and COMPLEMENT logic gate as well as an extremely rare design of excitation-modulated logic systems using a pyrene coupled bis(indolyl)methane derivative (1) in Brij-58 micelles, triggered by different chemical stimuli. We have looked into the optical response of the probe molecule towards variety of analytes, including OH, CN, Hg, EDTA ., at various excitation channels, in order to achieve this goal.

Growing concerns over water availability arise from the problems of population growth, rapid industrialization, and human interferences, necessitating accurate streamflow estimation at the river basin scale. It is extremely challenging to access stream flow data of a transboundary river at a spatio-temporal scale due to data unavailability caused by water conflicts for assessing the water availability.Primarily, this estimation is done using rainfall-runoff models.

Methods: A multicomponent intervention was conducted among 140 representative IHPs in the slums of 8 wards in Kolkata to assess its impact on their diarrhea-related knowledge and practice. Six intervention modules in local languages were provided (1 per month) with baseline (N = 140) and postintervention (N = 124) evaluation.
Herein, we report that borazine (B3N3H6), alternatively known as inorganic benzene, has the tantalizing potential to act as a multifunctional molecular spin diode with a significantly large spin valve action. The present computational foray into the multifunctionality of (B3N3H6)n=1-4 as a simultaneous spin diode and spin valve has been rationalized by the current rectification ratio with a maximum value of 34 for the tetramer and large tunneling magneto-resistance in the range of 50-100%, respectively. Remarkably, both the properties are evolved due to a single parameter, namely, the electrodes [Fe(100)] surface spin orientation induced charge density localization/delocalization in the singly occupied highest molecular orbital in the Fe(100)-(borazine)n=1-4-Fe(100) system.
