TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one/thione derivatives from β-dicarbonyl compounds, urea/thiourea, and various aromatic aldehydes using nano-La2O3 catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation was reported.
Abstract: In the present work, we report an proficient, elegant, and rapid one-pot synthesis of variety of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one/thione derivatives from β-dicarbonyl compounds, urea/thiourea, and various aromatic aldehydes using nano-La2O3 catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation. This novel synthetic strategy benefits with excellent yields, short reaction time, benign reaction conditions, clean transformation, and purification of products by non-chromatographic strategies. In addition, the synthesized nano-material was also explored as an effective gas sensor for NO2, LPG, methyl alcohol, and ammonia. The gas-sensing properties such as selectivity and sensitivity of selected gases along with response and recovery for nano-La2O3 sensor are reported in this paper. In this way, conferring nano-La2O3 is a multifunctional catalyst not only for organic synthesis but also for gas sensing. The synthesized La2O3 nano-material was characterized by Fourier transform IR, powder X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller isotherm. The formation of Biginelli adducts was confirmed by Fourier transform IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, DEPT-135 (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer spectra), and mass spectral techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasound promoted the synthesis of a series of (E)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran 5-yl)-1-(aryl)prop2-en-1-one derivatives from 2,3dihd-dynohexofuran-5-carbaldehyde and various aromatic ketones under clean conditions.
Abstract: In the present investigation, an ultrasound promoted the synthesis of a series of (E)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran 5-yl)-1-(aryl)prop2-en-1-one derivatives from 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-carbaldehyde and various aromatic ketones under clean conditions. The application of ultrasound irradiation in organic reactions is one of the incredible tools of green chemistry as reactions can be carried out rapidly under neat conditions. A library of a novel (E)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-(aryl)prop-2-en-1-one chalcone derivatives were synthesized in good to excellent yield under ultrasonic irradiation. The structures of all synthesized chalcone derivatives synthesized in this study have been established by using FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS techniques. The stereochemistry around C=C in the chalcones was shown to be trans by H NMR (Jab = 15.5Hz). The benefits of the present synthesis include mild reaction conditions, high yield, purification by non-chromatographic strategy and short reaction times, demonstrating the significance of this protocol in terms of waste reduction and energy efficiency.

TL;DR: It is inferred that physical barriers and historical processes played a dominant role in structuring the genetic dispersal of the species and the Grik, Tanjung Rambutan and Sungkai are potential candidates for conservation and aquaculture programmes since they contained most of the total diversity.
Abstract: Nucleotide sequences of a partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene were used to assess the manner in which historical processes and geomorphological effects may have influenced genetic structuring and phylogeographic patterns in Channa striata. Assaying was based on individuals from twelve populations in four river systems, which were separated into two regions, the eastern and western, of the biodiversely rich state of Perak in central Peninsular Malaysia. In 238 specimens, a total of 368-bp sequences with ten polymorphic sites and eleven unique haplotypes were detected. Data on all the twelve populations revealed incomplete divergence due to past historical coalescence and the short period of separation. Nevertheless, SAMOVA and FST revealed geographical structuring existed to a certain extent in both regions. For the eastern region, the data also showed that the upstream populations were genetically significantly different compared to the midand downstream ones. It is inferred that physical barriers and historical processes played a dominant role in structuring the genetic dispersal of the species. A further inference is that the Grik, Tanjung Rambutan and Sungkai are potential candidates for conservation and aquaculture programmes since they contained most of the total diversity in this area.

TL;DR: In this article, transition metal oxides were chosen as the promoting materials to design and fabricate appropriately and rationally act as supercapacitor electrodes to harvest the outstanding electrochemical performance of both high energy and power density simultaneously.
Abstract: The investigation of inexpensive, effective, environmentally friendly next-generation energy storage devices is an urgent task due to the discontinuities of new generation energy that hinder their further widely application. Among the multitudinous explored energy storage devices, supercapacitors have been regarded as the most potential energy storage systems thanks to their distinctive features of ultralong cycling lifespan, ultrafast charge/discharge process, and high power density compared with batteries and conventional capacitors. Nevertheless, the existing defect of low energy density has always been a bottleneck problem to their long-term development and widespread applications. Meanwhile, the electrodes are the core component in supercapacitors, determining the electrochemical performance directly. Consequently, transition metal oxides were chosen as the promoting materials to design and fabricate appropriately and rationally act as supercapacitor electrodes to harvest the outstanding electrochemical performance of both high energy and power density simultaneously. Here, we summarized the recent advances in transition metal oxides with different dimensions as electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors, including zero-dimensional nanostructures (nanospheres, nanocrystals, nanoparticles), one-dimensional nanostructures (nanorods, nanowires and nanotubes), two-dimensional nanostructures (nanoflakes, nanoplatelets), three-dimensional nanostructures (spherical structure, hollow structure, flower-like structure, honeycomb structure, mesoporous structure), and the corresponding supercapacitors electrochemical performance, expecting to make a thorough inquiry of the relationship between structure and property for highlighting the route to design and synthesis high-performance transition metal oxide-based supercapacitor electrodes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the drivers behind current rises in the use of low-cost sensors for air pollution management in cities, whilst addressing the major challenges for their effective implementation.
Abstract: Ever growing populations in cities are associated with a major increase in road vehicles and air pollution. The overall high levels of urban air pollution have been shown to be of a significant risk to city dwellers. However, the impacts of very high but temporally and spatially restricted pollution, and thus exposure, are still poorly understood. Conventional approaches to air quality monitoring are based on networks of static and sparse measurement stations. However, these are prohibitively expensive to capture tempo-spatial heterogeneity and identify pollution hotspots, which is required for the development of robust real-time strategies for exposure control. Current progress in developing low-cost micro-scale sensing technology is radically changing the conventional approach to allow real-time information in a capillary form. But the question remains whether there is value in the less accurate data they generate. This article illustrates the drivers behind current rises in the use of low-cost sensors for air pollution management in cities, whilst addressing the major challenges for their effective implementation.

TL;DR: Compound 5j emerged as a significant bioactive molecule among the synthesized analogues and showed inhibition in the range of IC50 values—46.29–100.60 μg/mL.
Abstract: A new class of compounds formed by the linkage of -C(O)-NH- with pyridine and thiazole moieties was designed, synthesized, and characterized by various spectral approaches. The newly characterized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial as well as anti-inflammatory properties. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was evaluated by denaturation of the bovine serum albumin method and showed inhibition in the range of IC50 values-46.29-100.60 μg/mL. Among all the tested compounds, compound 5l has the highest IC50 value and compound 5g has the least IC50 value. On the other hand, antimicrobial results revealed that compound 5j showed the lowest MIC values and compound 5a has the highest MIC values. Furthermore, molecular docking of the active compounds demonstrated a better docking score and interacted well with the target protein. Physicochemical parameters of the titled compounds were found suitable in the reference range only. The in silico molecular docking study revealed their COX-inhibitory action. Compound 5j emerged as a significant bioactive molecule among the synthesized analogues.
