The new derivatives of S-aryl (trichloroacetyl) carbamothioate were prepared from a two-component reaction of 2-naphthalenethiol or thiophenol derivatives and trichloroacetyl isocyanate in CH2Cl2 at room temperature at high yields. The reaction was a simple and efficient procedure with high yield and available stating materials in a short time for the synthesis of these compounds that no side reactions were observed. The structures of the products were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Quantum theoretical calculations for the three structures of compounds (3a, 3b and 3c) were performed using the G3MP2, LC-ωPBE, MP2, and B3LYP methods with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Geometric parameters of optimized the structures were compared with the experimental measurements. The structures of the products were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. IR spectra data and 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts computations of the compounds were calculated. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), total density of states (DOS), thermodynamic parameters and molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) of the title compounds were investigated by theoretical calculations. Molecular properties such as the ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), chemical hardness (η), electronic chemical potential (μ) and electrophilicity (ω) were investigated for the structures. Consequently, there was an excellent agreement between experimental and theoretical results.

This survey study discusses the perception of work-life balance among married female academic librarians in university libraries in South-East Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 90 married female academic librarians from a population of 150 female academic librarians working in the university libraries. The study examines the perception of family and organizational factors of work-life balance among the respondents. The results reveal that the married female academic librarians have a positive perception of family and organizational factors of work-life balance; however, perception of the organizational factor has a slightly higher mean score than the family factor. The study highlights strategies that could enhance work-life balance among the respondents and recommends the implementation of practices and policies such as flexible work schedule, cancellation of overtime and shift duties, and better remuneration to improve work-life balance among academic librarians.

Query letters may offer an effective way to increase author engagement in the scholarly communication process, yet they are not a common practice in library and information science (LIS). A survey and interviews were conducted with LIS journal editors to explore experiences, attitudes, and opinions concerning query letters. Results indicate query letters can be of great benefit to both authors and editors, if approached properly. Yet editors expressed varying levels of enthusiasm and offered some divergent opinions. Such editorial inconsistencies may contribute to authors’ uncertainty and anxiety. Thus, this article concludes with ideas for empowering authors and improving editor-author communication.

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of (3-(4-chlorophenyl isoxazole-5-yl) methanol (CPIM) and (3-(2,4 dichlorophenolisoxazole-5-yl) methanol (DCPIM) for mild steel in 1 M HCl has been studied using electrochemical methods at 40 and 50 °C. Polarization studies showed that the inhibitors are efficient mixed-type corrosion inhibitors, and their inhibition performance increased with the rise of inhibitor concentration and decrease of temperature. The result of EIS measurements was analyzed through an appropriate equivalent circuit model to model the corrosion inhibition.

Patrons’ information consumption behaviors of print materials are influenced by their content and tangible characteristics. This quantitative study incorporates several content-based factors widely adopted in collection management practices as well as two physical dimension–related factors, including book size and number of pages, and applies a series of regression analyses to evaluate the relative impact of these factors on patrons’ checkout versus in-library use decisions. The results suggest that shelf time and book size exhibit consistent and significant impact on patrons’ use of print materials. These findings can shed further light on collection management practices and policies in academic libraries striving to provide patrons more user-centered collections and space.

Cultivated fishes are major protein and microelement sources for all sorts of people in Bangladesh due to its availability and affordability. Since heavy metals are persistent in the aquatic environment, these metals can accumulate in the food chain. Cultivated fishes containing heavy metals can cause a carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk to human as it biologically accumulates heavy metals from commercial feeds. This study was designed to access the content of heavy metals in the flesh of some cultivated fish species through consuming commercial fish feeds available in Bangladesh and potential health risk calculation for consumers due to intake daily. The concentration (mg/kg, dry weight) range of heavy metals like; Pb (4.56- 7.08), Cd (0.23- 1.28), Cr (4.00-7.08), Cu (11.23- 20.62), As (0.08- 0.34), Hg (0.05- 0.34) in selected commercial fish feeds and Pb (4.35-8.03), Cd (0.87- 1.35), Cr (4.71-8.98), Cu (14.00- 31.80), As (0.17- 0.28), Hg (0.08- 0.41) in fishes were accessed by inductive coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The recorded concentration value for selected metals in fish tissues and feeds were also compared with the safe limit proposed by World health organization (WHO, 1995), Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO, 1983), European Union (EU, 2001). This study also estimated the carcinogenic and non- carcinogenic risk due to daily consumption of these cultivated fishes for a certain age.

In this work, the interaction between Flutamide (FLU) anticancer drug with nucleobases such as cytosine, thymine, uracil, and adenine was studied by density functional theory (DFT) methods from a thermodynamic point of view. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and enthalpy (ΔH) of C-FLU, T-FLU, U-FLU and A-FLU complexes were computed and demonstrate that the stronger interaction between cytosine and FLU and the adsorption of the drug on the bases proceeds spontaneously. The negative value of ΔH indicates that the adsorption of FLU drug on the cytosine, thymine and uracil bases are exothermic, these results confirmed ΔE results. During the interaction of Flutamide drug with nucleobases, the energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were significantly changed. The values of the energy gap (Eg) reduced during the adsorption of the FLU drug onto bases which confirmed that the reactivity of the resulted complex increase upon adsorption. On the other hand, as a result of theoretical calculations, the values of the Eg for the Base-FLU structures in water solution are decreased in comparison to the corresponding values in the gas phase, indicating more the reactivity of the studied complexes in the aqueous medium.

The present study aims to assess the potentials of immobilized bacteria in the remediation of anions within the effluents by determining the levels of the anions before and after the remediation. Industrial Effluents Samples from Gashash Tanneries (TAN1), Larabee Tannery Industry (TAN2) and Z Tannery Industries (TAN3) in Kano State, Nigeria were collected monthly for six months (August 2017 to January 2018). Bacteria were isolated from the effluents and immobilized on agar-agar. The effluent samples were analyzed for the anions before and after the treatment using DR/2010 HACH portable data logging spectrophotometer. Different masses (5 g, 10 g, 15 g, 20 g, and 25 g) of the bacteria were used in the treatment of 250 ml of the effluents for ten days in a shaker incubator (Gallenkamp-OC-4364-L) at the temperature 30 °C and speed of 60 rpm. Pre-treatment analysis of the effluents for nitrate (NO-3), Sulphate (SO2-4), Phosphate (PO3-4) and Chloride (Cl-) give the following results; NO-3 ranged (25.35±17.16-28.12±10.72 mg/l); SO2-4 (67.00±5.93-114.83±53.20 mg/l); PO3-4 (26.16±22.93-34.17±16.73 mg/l) and Cl- (22.57±9.64-26.00a±4.86 mg/l). No statistical difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed for all the anions among the different industries. The bacterial isolates were identified as Neisseria spp, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus, in TAN1, TAN2, and TAN3, respectively. After treatment of the effluents with the different masses of the isolated bacteria, the mean level of NO-3 were found to range as (6.17±6.67-20.78±7.76); SO2-4 (25.73±17.84-46.00±46.81); PO3-4 (11.45±12.02-28.19±9.09) and Cl-(0.38±1.83-15.36±13.58). The results of Post-treatment analysis showed that there is an overall decrease in the levels of the anions determined when compared with that of the pre-treatment. The overall percentage reduction of the immobilized bacteria in the treatment of the respective effluents was in the order TAN3 (57%)>TAN1 (49%)>TAN2 (47%). Therefore, the immobilized bacteria are having higher potentials for the treatment of the anions in the effluents.

After treatment of the effluents with the different masses of the isolated bacteria, the mean level of NO-3 were found to range as (6.17±6.67-20.78±7.76); SO2-4 (25.73±17.84-46.00±46.81); PO3-4 (11.45±12.02-28.19±9.09) and Cl-(0.38±1.83-15.36±13.58). The results of Post-treatment analysis showed that there is an overall decrease in the levels of the anions determined when compared with that of the pre-treatment. The overall percentage reduction of the immobilized bacteria in the treatment of the respective effluents was in the order TAN3 (57%)>TAN1 (49%)>TAN2 (47%). Therefore, the immobilized bacteria are having higher potentials for the treatment of the anions in the effluents.","PeriodicalId":10686,"journal":{"name":"College & Research Libraries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76641351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
