    Abstract Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are two subclasses of Artificial Intelligence (AI), that, in this day and age of big data provides significant opportunities to pharmaceutical discovery research and development by translating data to information and ultimately to knowledge. Machine Learning or AI is not really new but over last few years, application of better methods have emerged and they have been successfully applied for drug discovery and development. This chapter would provide an overview of these methods and how they have been applied across various work streams, e.g., generative chemistry, ADMET prediction, retrosynthetic analysis, etc. within drug discovery process. This chapter would also attempt to provide caution and pit falls in utilizing these methods blindly while summarizing challenges and limitations.

    Abstract Deterioration of concrete structures is one of the major issues faced by the construction industry. Repair and rehabilitation are necessary to extend the service life of such structures. This study aims to investigate the effect of repair material type, length of repaired region, and loading regime on the structural characteristics of the repaired reinforced concrete (RC) beams. To achieve this goal, a total of 30 repaired and non-repaired RC beams were prepared and tested under static and repeated loading conditions. Three types of sounding-based non-destructive test (NDT) methods are employed to determine the material deterioration and sub-surface delamination after repeated loading. Results showed that under static loading conditions, full-length repaired beams had better performance than 1/3-span repaired beams. Beams repaired with cementitious repair mortar containing modified binder and cementitious repair concrete in full length had a yield strength that was 14% and 9%, respectively, higher than that of beams repaired in 1/3 span. All RC beams with full-span repair outperformed the intact beams. After repeated loading, beams repaired with cementitious repair with modified binder over full length showed a 14% improvement in yield strength compared to control samples. It was found that repair materials that had a high compressive and flexural strength are beneficial. The resonant frequency drops correlate well with the yield strength results. The formulas proposed by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) 23.3 can effectively predict the moment resistance of both intact (control) and repaired RC beams. The ratio of experimental moment resistance values to its predictions ranges from 0.91 to 1.04.

    Abstract In the past decade or so there has been a dramatic increase in the number of computational applications and tools that have been developed to enable medicinal chemists to prosecute modern drug discovery programs more efficiently. The upsurge of user-friendly, well-designed computational tools that enable structure-based drug design (SBDD) and cheminformatics (CI)-based drug design has equipped the medicinal chemist with an arsenal of tools and applications that significantly augments the entire design process, thereby enhancing the speed and efficiency of the design-make-test-analyze cycle. Modern computational applications and tools transcend all areas of drug discovery, and most savvy medicinal chemists can employ them effectively in a myriad of drug discovery applications. Indeed, the sheer scope and breadth of tools available to the medicinal chemist is vast and, to our knowledge, has not been comprehensively reviewed. In this article we have catalogued many computational tools, platforms, and applications that are currently available, with four main areas highlighted: commercially available tools/platforms, open-source applications, internally developed platforms (software tools developed within a pharma or biotech organization), and artificial intelligence/machine learning-based platforms. For ease of interpretation, for these categories we provide tables organized by vendor or organization name, the name of the application, whether the tool/application is employed predominantly for SBDD or CI-based design, and a summary of the main function of the tools, with associated hyperlinks to vendor Web sites. We have tried to be as comprehensive and as inclusive as possible; however, the pace of development of new and existing tools is so rapid that there may be omissions with respect to newly developed tools and current versions of the software.

    Abstract Conversion of ambient energy to usable electrical energy is attracting attention from researchers since providing a maintenance-free power source for the sensors is critical in any IoT (Internet of Things)-based system and in SHM (structural health monitoring). Continuous health monitoring of structures is advantageous since the damage can be identified at inception and the necessary action taken. Sensor technology has advanced significantly, and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)-based low-power sensors are available for incorporating into large structures. Relevant signal conditioning and transmission modules have also evolved, making them power-efficient and miniaturized. Various micro wireless sensor nodes (WSN) have also been developed in recent years that require very little power. This paper describes the applications of a novel tunable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) for providing autonomous power to low-power MEMS sensors for use in IoT and remote SHM. The novel device uses piezoelectric material and an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) and enables electrical tuning of the resonant frequency using a small portion of the power generated.

    Abstract Background: Uveitic macular edema is a complication of acute or chronic uveitis. Current treatment regiments frequently have numerous side effects, often requiring supplemental treatment. This study investigates the efficacy of dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implants as monotherapy for treatment of macular edema in non-infectious intermediate, posterior or panuveitis.
    Methods and results: Retrospective chart review of thirty patients with intermediate, posterior and panuveitis treated with DEX. Outcomes measured were central retinal thickness (CRT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Baseline measurements of CRT and BCVA were measured within 1 month prior to intravitreal DEX implant and follow up measurements were collected until 1 year post implant. 48 implants on 39 eyes of 30 patients were included in this study; 64.1% of patients had an improvement in BCVA and 65.4% had a reduction in CRT. BCVA improved from 0.285 logMAR (SD: 0.312) at baseline to 0.175 logMAR (SD: 0.194) at 1 month and was sustained thereafter. Preliminary CRT data showed a decrease from 392 [Formula: see text] (SD: [Formula: see text]) at baseline to 303 [Formula: see text] (SD: [Formula: see text] at 1 month and 313 [Formula: see text] (SD: [Formula: see text] at 12 months.
    Conclusions: The DEX implant as monotherapy for macular edema in non-infectious uveitis was associated with a reduction in CRT and improvement in BCVA. The DEX implant, used as a monotherapy in eyes with intermediate, posterior and panuveitis, has the potential to treat uveitis without oral corticosteroid or other immunomodulatory therapy.

    Abstract Levulinic acid (LA) was discovered in 1875 by heating candy with concentrated acid. Since then, it has been generated in a variety of ways from commercial sugars and their products in-cluding glucose, fructose, cellulose, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF), maleic anhydride and furfuryl alcohol. However, the concern of food security has led to search for sustainable feedstock for the production of LA such as biomass. Although the use of biomass as substrate for LA synthesis offer various advantages, however, the shift to a bioeconomy remains difficult due to the several contributing variables that must be addressed, as detailed in this review. Various catalysts, including homogeneous, heterogeneous, and ionic liquids, have been employed in the development of an ecologically acceptable and lucrative method for producing LA from biomass. This study examines the literature on LA production from 1875 to 2021, what has been accomplished, and what ongoing obstacles exist.

    Abstract There is limited research reported on the effect of cyclic loading on cement-based repair materials as conducting such tests is time consuming. To overcome this issue, this study utilized a novel loading regime consisting of cycle groups with increasing stress amplitude to accelerate the test process. The Palmgren-Minder rule was used to estimate the fatigue life of repaired specimens. Specimens repaired with Mix M (cementitious repair mortar), which was estimated to have the highest 2-million-cycle fatigue endurance limit (77.4%), showed the longest fatigue life (95,991 cycles) during the cyclic loading test, the highest slant, and splitting bond strength among all repair mixes. The estimated two-million cycle fatigue endurance limit of Mix S (70.8%) was very similar to that was reported in literature (71%) using the traditional loading method. This study confirms the usefulness of Palmgren-Minder rule on estimating the fatigue life of repaired specimens. Additionally, the use of the novel loading regime showed the benefit of shortening the test process while producing results similar to those from using traditional loading methods. To improve the prediction accuracy, future research is required to modify the failure criteria to accommodate specimens that may not fail even when the average flexural strength is met.
