    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for estimating the molecular complexity of a sample, for example to determine whether biotic or synthetic components are present in the sample. The method comprises the steps of (a) performing one of MS/MS, NMR or IR on a sample; (b) determining the unique peaks in the resulting spectrum; and (c) calculating the molecular assembly index of the sample based on the number of unique peaks in the spectrum.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method to generate a predictive model for a reaction set, which reaction set is the sum of the reaction outcomes for a plurality of chemical inputs. Also provided is a system for generating a predictive model for a reaction set, which system may be used in the method. The system comprises a synthesiser for conducting reactions, which synthesiser is an automated synthesiser, an analytical unit for monitoring reactions performed by the synthesiser, and a control unit suitably programmed with a machine learning algorithm, for analysing analytical data from the analytical unit, and for controlling the synthesiser.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods for producing hydrogen and oxygen, comprising the steps of: (i) oxidising a mediator at a working electrode to yield an oxidised mediator, and reducing protons at a counter electrode to yield hydrogen; and (ii) reducing an oxidised mediator at a working electrode to yield a mediator, and oxidising water at a counter electrode to yield oxygen, wherein the oxygen generation step is performed non-simultaneously to the hydrogen generation step, and the oxidised mediator of step (i) is used as the oxidised mediator of step (ii), or the mediator of step (ii) is used as the mediator of step (i), and the mediator has a reversible redox wave lying between the onset of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

    Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules comprising a MeCP2 expression cassette, the expression cassette comprising, in operable linkage from 5′ to 3′: a 5′ transcriptional control region comprising a promoter capable of driving transcription in neural cells; an open reading frame encoding a MeCP2 protein; translation control signals; a 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) comprising one or more of: (i) a binding site for mir-22; (ii) a binding site for mir-19; (iii) a binding site for miR-132; (iv) a binding site for miR124; and (v) an AU-rich element; and transcriptional termination signals; wherein the MeCP2 expression cassette is not more than about 5 kb in length. The invention further provides viral vectors, especially vectors derived from adeno-associated virus (AAV), for use in therapeutic delivery of such expression cassettes. The nucleic acid molecules and viral vectors disclosed herein provide novel tools for expressing MeCP2 and are of particular value in the treatment of disorders associated with reduced MeCP2 activity, including Rett syndrome.

    Abstract: A cone-based polarizer includes a beam splitter including a front side (FS) and a back side (BS) part for receiving a first and a second beam portion, respectively. The FS part includes two prisms including parallel first and second FS hypotenuses, and the BS part includes two prisms including parallel first and second BS hypotenuses. A first TIR cone is on top and a second TIR cone is on a bottom of the beam splitter. The first and second TIR cones are aligned to have an essentially common cone axis direction and are configured to add a structured polarization upon retroreflecting. The first and second FS hypotenuses have a FS TIR interface in-between and are angled at about 45 degrees relative to the cone axis direction. The first and second BS hypotenuses have a BS TIR interface in-between and are angled at about 90 degrees relative to the FS hypotenuses.
