    Abstract In the present manuscript, an amphiphile sulphonamide based surfactant benzenesulphonyl-11-amino sodium undecanoate (BASU) is designed and synthesized. The surface activity of the amphiphile in the solutions is studied at neutral pH so that the resulting amphiphile self-organizes and transfers from large unilamellar vesicles to small micelles from dilute to concentrated solutions. During the aggregate transitions, the common surfactants tend to form the small aggregate at low concentrations; but BASU shows the large vesicle structure at low concentration of ~3 mM and converts into the small micelle at ~9 mM. Therefore, different techniques have been used, such as, tensiometry, conductometry, fluorimetry and DLS and some microscopic characterization, e.g., confocal fluorescence microscopy to reveal the aggregate assembly and transition mechanism. The isothermal titration calorimetry is used for quantitative measurement of thermodynamic properties of self-assembly formation and the process is found spontaneous and entropically favorable. The permeability of the vesicle membrane bilayer is explored by a kinetic study. Effects of salt and cholesterol on the aggregate of respective amphiphile are also investigated. The interaction of surfactant with both human and bovine serum albumin is analyzed through UV-visible and fluorescence techniques to draw a comparative study. Antibacterial activity is tested by both spectral and zone inhibition methods and its application for mixed amphiphiles (e.g., BASU/CTAB) is found. Therefore, according to the ability of formation of unilamellar vesicles (ULV) and its stability, permeability and antibacterial activity, the amphiphile can have potential applications in the medicinal field.

    Abstract Indian Sundarban is highly susceptible to tropical cyclones and resultant impacts such as storm surge-induced floods, embankment breaching, and saline water intrusion. It affects life and livelihood in severe ways. Mitigation and policy measures are therefore very important, based on information gathered at the grassroots level. Hence, this study is designed to assess inter-village variation in cyclone vulnerability, considering physical vulnerability, social vulnerability, and mitigation capacity. This study also highlights livelihood challenges faced by coastal dwellers. Geospatial and quantitative methods were used to assess the composite vulnerability index (CVI). Remote sensing data and climatic data were integrated to assess physical vulnerability and various socioeconomic data were incorporated to determine the social vulnerability. Moreover, an intensive field survey (2020-2021) was also conducted to understand the livelihood challenges of local people and accordingly suggest mitigation measures to cope with natural hazards. According to this analysis, nearly 18% of the total population living in the southern and eastern parts of the Matla-Bidya inter-estuarine area (MBI) are extremely vulnerable (CVI > 0.544) due to their geographical location and high exposure to coastal hazards. Almost 51% of the total populations inhabited in 46% of the total MBI villages are experiencing high to moderate vulnerability. Conversely, MBI villages in the northern part, where 32% of the total population lives, show low vulnerability (CVI < 0.387) due to less exposure and high resilience. Coastal low-lying villages are often hardest hit by tropical cyclones. Therefore, effective mitigation strategies and coping mechanisms are essentially needed to reduce the adverse impacts of cyclones.

    Abstract Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown several new organic molecules that violate Hund's rule and have the first singlet excited state lower in energy than the first triplet excited state. While many correlated single reference wave function methods have successfully predicted excited-state energetics of these low-lying states, conventional linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) fails to predict the correct excited-state energy ordering. In this article, we have explored the performance of combined DFT and wave function methods like doubles-corrected TDDFT and multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory for the calculation of inverted singlet-triplet gaps. We have also tested the performance of the excited-state DFT (eDFT) method for this problem. Our results have shown that it is possible to obtain inverted singlet-triplet gaps both by using doubles-corrected TDDFT with a proper choice of double-hybrid functionals or by using eDFT.

    Abstract In the present work, a new form of descriptor using minimal moment vector (MMV) is introduced to compare protein sequences in the frequency domain under their component wise binary representations. From every sequence, 20 different binary component sequences are formed, each corresponding to 20 amino acids. Each such vector is now shifted from the time domain to the frequency domain by applying the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Next, the power spectrum calculated from the FFT values for each component sequence is so normalized that the sum of the components equals 1. The descriptor is defined as a 20-component vector composed of the 20 second-order minimal moments calculated from the normalized spectrum of the 20 component sequences. Once the descriptor is known, the distance matrix is created by applying the Euclidean Distance measure. The phylogenetic tree is generated by applying the unweighted pair group method with the arithmetic mean (UPGMA) algorithm using Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis11 (MEGA11) software. In this work, the datasets used for similarity studies are 9 NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5), 12 Baculoviruses, 24 Transferrins (TF) proteins, and 50 Spike Protein of coronavirus. A qualitative measure using rationalized perception is used to compare the effectiveness of the proposed method. Quantitative measure based on symmetric distance (SD) is used to compare the phylogenetic trees of the present method with those obtained by other methods. It is observed that the phylogenetic trees generated by the proposed technique are at par with their known biological references, and they produce results better than those of the earlier methods.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

    Abstract Advanced spectroscopic techniques have been utilized to study the interaction between the laser dye coumarin 153 (C153) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles. GO was synthesized using a modified Hummers' method and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, Raman laser spectroscopy, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, FESEM, HR-TEM, and XRD techniques. The GO@C153 composite was formed by mixing two aqueous solutions of GO and C153 due to their strong interaction through stacking and hydrophobic interactions. In this case, GO acts as an effective fluorescence quencher for C153 molecules, which undergo H-type aggregation in the presence of GO. The Stern-Volmer equation and time-dependent fluorescence studies were utilized to analyse the mechanism of fluorescence quenching. According to the findings, both static and dynamic quenching processes are responsible for the reduction in fluorescence intensity. The effect of surfactants (both cetyltrimethylammonium
