Abstract

Today, laboratory experiments conducted worldwide continue to search for undiscovered excited states of the nucleon. The database has been continually updated over the past years to allow for nearly model-independent partial wave analyses (PWA) to be carried out in the search for such undiscovered states. The photoproduction of mesons, such as kaons, has been studied extensively in the past. However, there is still much information that can be gathered and learned from the photoproduction of the kaon. Recent coupled-channel analyses have found strong sensitivity of the K+Λ channel to several higher mass nucleon resonances. Various experiments have provided new and interesting results that are discussed in this short review.

Abstract

Plants belonging to the Chisocheton genus are a rich source of tetracylic triterpenoids with diverse biological activities. Two triterpenoid compounds,dammar-20,24-dien-3-one (1) and 3β-hydroxy-tirucall-7-en (2) were isolated from the stembark of Chisocheton celebicus. The chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were identified by spectroscopic data, including IR, NMR (1H, 13C, DEPT 135°, HMQC, HMBC, 1H-1H COSY), and MS, and they were compared with previously reported spectral data. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against P-388 murineleukemia cells. The compounds showed cytotoxicity against P-388 murine leukemia cells, with IC50 values of 30.2 and 4.3 μg/mL, respectively.

Abstract

heputative natural hybrid between Anaphalis longifolia and Anaphalis javanica from Talang Mountain in West Sumatra has been discovered. The aim of this research is to analyze the anatomical characteristics of the leaf and stemto clarify the status of this putative natural hybrid. The anatomical characteristics of leaves and stem were analyzed by making cross sectionsand paradermal sectionsusing Johansen’s method. The results show seven characteristics of this putative natural hybrid (the stomata density, length, width, andlength/width ratio; the number of cortical cell layers, the range of cortex length, and the range of cortex width) that were close to A. longifolia, one characteristic that was close to A. javanica (the structure of palisade), one characteristic that was intermediate (the structure of spongy layer), and one characteristic that was a combination of both of them (the trichome morphotype). All of the foregoing characteristics can be used to support the identification of a natural hybrid of A. longifolia and A. javanica.

Abstract

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanocrystals were synthesized by simple sol-gel method at low temperature by using methanol as the solvent and NaOH 5M as the precipitation agent. Nickel nitrate hexahydrate, nickel acetate tetrahydrate and nickel sulfate hexahydrate were used as the precursors. The crystals were formed by drying at 100-110 °C for ± 1 hour, after which they were heated at ± 450 °C for 1 hour. The resulting products were black powders. The as-prepared NiOnanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD patterns of the NiO nanocrystals showed that they are mostly cubic. The sizes of the NiO particles produced with nickelnitrate hexahydrate, nickel acetate tetrahydrate and nickel sulfate hexahydrate were 72.16, 38.63 and 32.84 nm, respectively. SEM images showed that the nanopowders produced by the precursors are spherical, rod-shaped andhexagonal shape with hollow, respectively.

Abstract

Phenol, which is a major organic pollutant, is usually detected in industrial wastewater, and thus the wastewater should be processed further before discharged into water bodies. Application of heterogeneous catalysis using natural-basedmaterials is known to be effective and environmentallyfriendlyinremoving hazardous substances in water. In this study, local natural bentonite from the Tapanuli region in Indonesia was modified to eliminate dissolved phenol. Elimination by photodegradation reaction was conductedinaphoto-Fenton system utilizing Fe(III) oxide-modifiedbentonite (Fe-B) as catalyst. Fe-B was prepared byacation exchanging process using mixture solutions of NaOH and FeCl3 with OH/Femolar ratio of 2:1 and calcined at 300 °C. Material characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), low-angle XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The reaction components consisted of ultraviolet Clight, H2O2, and Fe-B, and they were processed in a batch reactor. The role of each component was analyzed by a series of reaction conditions (i.e., adsorption, photolysis, H2O2effect, Fenton, and homogeneous photo-Fenton). The heterogeneous photo-Fenton system was found to be essential for phenol degradation, as none of the reaction conditions caused total phenol removal in the 180 min reaction time. To conclude, heterogeneous photo-Fenton gave the highest photodegradation activity, and the best experimental condition for 1.10 mM phenol removal was 5 g L-1 catalyst, 78.35 mM H2O2, and 90 minreaction time.

Abstract

Neuraminidase sensors have been developed using platinum (Pt) and platinum-modified boron-doped diamond (Pt-BDD) electrodes based on the difference of electrochemical responses of zanamivir in the absence and in presence of neuraminidase. Cyclic voltammetry of zanamivir showed that the presence of zanamivir decreases the oxidation-reduction peak currents of Pt. The responses were found to be linear in the zanamivir concentration range of 7.5-150 μM. Comparison between Pt-BDD and Pt bulk electrodes showed that Pt-BDD offers approximately two times higher sensitivity of zanamivir responses than Pt bulk. Further comparison to gold-based electrodes showed that Pt-based electrodes provided about one order higher sensitivity of zanamivir responses. In the presence of neuraminidase, the oxidation-reduction currents of Pt again increase. Observation on the oxidation currents in the system with 2 x 10-5 M zanamivir showed that the responses were linear in the neuraminidase concentration range of 5-20 mU. Good reproducibility with an RSD < 3 (n = 10) was achieved even when the measurements were performed in a mucin matrix,suggesting that Pt-based electrodes are suitable to be applied for the detection method of neuraminidase.

Abstract

Pseudagrion pilidorsumis1of over 140 species of Pseudagrion (in thefamily Coenagrionidae), the largest genus of damselfly. This species exhibits dimorphism due to the different body colorations of males and females, making them difficult to distinguish from other congeneric species. This study analyzed thecytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence of P.pilidorsum found in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (North Sulawesi) and compared it with other sequences of P. pilidorsum from distinct geographical locations in Asia. The COI gene for the Sulawesi specimen was amplified using the universal primer pair LCO1490 and HCO2198. A sequence homology search was conducted through BLAST. Multiple sequence alignment was executed using CLUSTALO (1.2.1). A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the Neighbor-Joining method, and genetic distance was calculated using the Kimura 2-parameter. The COI gene sequence of the Sulawesi specimen lies in the range of 83.99-89.10% with other P. pilidorsum deposited at Gen Bank, namely KF369526 (Sarawakspecimen), AB708543, AB708544, and AB708545 (Japan specimens). The genetic distance falls in the range of 0.146-0.149 between the Sarawak specimen and the Japan specimen; 0.122-0.125 between the Sulawesi and Japan specimens; and 0.185 between the Sulawesi specimen and the Sarawak specimen. It can thus be inferred that the Sarawak and Japan specimens may not belong to the same species; the Sulawesi and Japan specimens may not belong to the same species; and the Sarawak specimen and Sulawesi specimens might be placed in different genera.
