Toxicity prediction of anti tuberculosis active molecules
Abstract
The aim of the work was to understand the toxicity, physically significant descriptors and pharmaceutically relevant properties of some imidazoles obtained from the open sources that may found to be active against tuberculosis. At present five azoles were modeled for the prediction and calculation of descriptors that were carried out by means of computational approach [1].

Photonic Crystal Architecture for Room Temperature Equilibrium Bose-Einstein Condensation of Exciton-Polaritons
We describe photonic crystal microcavities with very strong light-matter
interaction to realize room-temperature, equilibrium, exciton-polariton
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). This is achieved through a careful balance
between strong light-trapping in a photonic band gap (PBG) and large exciton
density enabled by a multiple quantum-well (QW) structure with moderate
dielectric constant. This enables the formation of long-lived, dense 10~m
- 1~cm scale cloud of exciton-polaritons with vacuum Rabi splitting (VRS) that
is roughly 7\% of the bare exciton recombination energy. We introduce a
woodpile photonic crystal made of CdMgTe with a 3D PBG of 9.2\%
(gap to central frequency ratio) that strongly focuses a planar guided optical
field on CdTe QWs in the cavity. For 3~nm QWs with 5~nm barrier width the
exciton-photon coupling can be as large as \hbar\Ome=55~meV (i.e., vacuum
Rabi splitting 2\hbar\Ome=110~meV). The exciton recombination energy of
1.65~eV corresponds to an optical wavelength of 750~nm. For 106 QWs
embedded in the cavity the collective exciton-photon coupling per QW,
\hbar\Ome/\sqrt{N}=5.4~meV, is much larger than state-of-the-art value of
3.3~meV, for CdTe Fabry-P\'erot microcavity. The maximum BEC temperature is
limited by the depth of the dispersion minimum for the lower polariton branch,
over which the polariton has a small effective mass where
is the electron mass in vacuum. By detuning the bare exciton
recombination energy above the planar guided optical mode, a larger dispersion
depth is achieved, enabling room-temperature BEC
