Abstract

In this report, a synergetic computational and experimental studies were demonstrated on examples of poly-imine polymers; P(PI-IPI) and P(PIOH-IPI) to explore the role of hydroxyl substituent on their sensing and electronic properties. The polymer P(PIOH-IPI) bearing the OH-group on the ortho-position to the imine-bond, while the structure of the polymer P(PI-IPI) reveal the imine-bond only. The sensing property of the polymers was investigated via the UV-vis absorption in different solvents, acidic and basic solutions. Both polymers have shown significant sensing behavior in the acidic medium, while unpronounced behavior was noticed in the case of the polymer P(PI-IPI) in basic medium. Upon the incorporation of the OH-group, the polymer P(PIOH-IPI) has indistinguishable sensing behavior, a similar blue-shift in the acidic and basic medium, which can be attributed to the presence and the position of OH-group. The optical band gap of the polymers was determined experimentally and theoretically from the UV-vis absorption spectra and DFT calculations in the DMSO solvent. Other factors that affect the band gap values such as the structural conformation and length of conjugation were explored theoretically. In general, as the length of the optimized chain increased, the spectrum is red-shifted and the band gap decreased, which is attributed to the possible loss of chain planarity and conjugation beyond the monomer structure. Interestingly, the UV-vis spectra of the monomer-optimized structures were in a good match with the experimental UV-vis spectra. However, the band gap difference can be attributed to the method of band gap determination.

Abstract

The use of hydrotalcite in catalysis has wide attention in academic research and industrial parties. Based on its utilization, hydrotalcite can be active catalyst or support. This research is focused on the investigation of characteristic like spesific surface area of Mg-Al hydrotalcite which is prepared with different temperature of calcination. Synthesis of Mg-Al hydrotalcites with Mg/Al molar ratio 3:1 were prepared by co-precipitation method. Mg(NO3)3.6H2O and Al(NO3)3.9H2O as precursors of Mg-Al hydrotalcite. Na2CO3 was used as precipitant agent and NaOH was used as buffer solution. The solution was mixed and aging for 5 hours at 650oC. The dried precipitate was calcined at 2500oC, 3500oC, 450oC, 550oC and 650oC. The characterization of functional group was determined by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR). The Identical peaks diffractogram were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The spesific surface area was determined by adsorption-desorption of nitrogen. The largest surface area that obtained from the calcination temperature of 650oC is 156.252 m2/g.

Abstract

Tritrophic interaction among host plant-herbivore-parasitoid involves chemical cues. The infested plant by herbivores has been reacted to produce volatiles which is a cue used by the herbivore parasitoids for host location. These volatiles can be developed to enhance natural control of insect pests, especially by optimally use of parasitoids. Egg parasitoids are biocontrol agents that play an important role in natural control of herbivores. This research used a tritrophic interaction model of rice plant-brown plant hopper (BPH)-egg parasitoid of BPH. Research on analysis of chemical cues in tritrophic interactions was aimed to identify volatiles that are used by the parasitoid to find its host. The volatiles that effectively affect the parasitoid orientation behavior could be developed into a parasitoid attractant. Extraction of volatiles as the egg parasitoid cues was done using soxhlet, and identification of the volatiles using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).  Bioassay of the volatiles on the BPH parasitoid orientation behavior was performed using Y-tube olfactometry. The volatiles that are used for host location cues by the parasitoid affect the parasitoid orientation behavior by showing the preference of the parasitoid females to the odor of volatile. Volatiles extracted from BPH-egg-infested plants and uninfested plants contain alcohol, hydrocarbon, and ester compounds. Based on the difference of the compound composition of both extractions, five compounds of long-chain hydrocarbon, both branched and unsaturated compounds are the main volatile components which caused positive orientation behavior of the egg parasitoid. The egg parasitoids showed positive behavior orientation toward the volatiles extracted from BPH-egg-infested plant. Those hydrocarbon compounds are potential materials to be developed into bio attractants of BPH egg parasitoid.

Abstract

Technetium-99m labeled radiopharmaceutical is commonly used in nuclear medicines as a diagnostic agent, by mixing the sterile kit with Tc-99m. Manufacturing of kits requires an aseptic facility which need to be well designed and maintained according to cGMP, since mostly kits can not be terminally sterilized. Radiopharmaceuticals as pharmaceuticals  containing radionuclide is assumed to have an autosterilization property, but correlation between radioactivity and capability of killing microorganisms has to be studied so far.  The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of radioactivity on the autosterilization process of radiopharmaceuticals.  The study was carried out by adding Tc-99m of various radioactivity into non-sterile tetrofosmin kits, then the samples were tested for sterility. Sterile tetrofosmin kit and non-sterile kit with no Tc-99m added will be used as a negative control and positive control respectively. The sterility was tested using standard direct inoculation method, by inoculating samples in culture media for both bacteria and fungi and observing qualitatively within 14 days. The results showed that the samples with radioactivity of 1, 3 and 5 mCi changed the clarity of the media to turbid,  conformed with the performance of positive controls but samples with radioactivity of 10 mCi and 20 mCi did not change the clarity of the media, conformed with the performance of negative control, indicating neither growth of bacteria nor fungi.  It is concluded that Tc-99m behaves as an autosterilizing agent at certain radioactivity. Therefore the preparation of Tc-99m radiopharmaceutical can be considered as terminal sterilization rather than aseptic preparation.
