Horng Yi Chang, National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan
In order to find sustainable alternative energy due to the quick depletion of fossil fuels and environmental damage. One of promising methods for converting electricity generated from solar and wind renewable energy into chemical energy stored in hydrogen fuel is water splitting [....] » Read More
Title : PVA-sucrose based dissolving microneedles incorporating glimepiride nanocrystals a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Sharif Abdelghany, University of Jordan-School of Pharmacy, Jordan
Recognizing the limited research on microneedles for the transdermal potent oral hypoglycemic drugs, we formulated, in this study, glimepiride nanocrystals and incorporated these nanocrystals in PVA/sucrose based dissolving microneedles. Nanocrystals were formulated using two dif [....] » Read More
Title : Flow and heat transfer in micropolar fluid stuffed between viscous fluids with magnetohydrodynamic effect
Prashant Sutkar, NES Science College, Nanded, India
This paper aim to discuss micropolar fluid stuffed between viscous fluid with magnetohydrodynamic in a horizontal channel. Using appropriate boundary and interface conditions closed form solutions are evaluated with the help of perturbation method. The effect of governing paramet [....] » Read More
Title : Study of adsorption properties of magnetic few-layer graphene
Elizaveta Bogacheva, St. Petersburg State Institute of Technology, Russian Federation
Graphene derivatives are good adsorbents because they have a large specific surface area (2600 m2/g), as well as a high content of oxygen-containing groups on the surface (up to 30 wt.%), but their application is difficult because the separation of adsorbent particles from the ad [....] » Read More
Title : Enhanced durability of antimicrobial activity in cotton textiles by L-Cysteine-Capped Copper Nanoparticles through laundering cycles
Carla Cisternas Novoa, Universidad de La Frontera, Chile
In this study, L-cysteine-capped copper nanoparticles (Cys-CuNPs) were successfully linked into a cotton textile, being attached in a covalent way to the cotton fibers via esterification. The CuNPs were adhered to the fiber surface through coordination bonds with the thiol groups [....] » Read More
Title : Glass-ceramics for emission in the IR region
Velin Nikolov, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria
Cr4+ doped oxide compounds are particularly preferred active media for solid-state lasers with a wide emission region from 1.1 to 1.6 micrometers. However, obtaining of single crystals of these compounds is often problematic due to their high melting temperature, incongruent melt [....] » Read More
Title : Impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles on nitrifying bacteria in soil
Vikram Kapoor, University of Texas at San Antonio, India
The use of metal oxide nanoparticles (MeO NPs) in a wide range of commercial products has grown exponentially in recent years. Consequently, these NPs are indirectly discharged in agricultural soils through irrigation or sewage-sludge application and directly as nanofertilizers o [....] » Read More
Title : An insight on the stability of titanium-oxide based implant material
Riya Thomas, Malmö university, Sweden
The invention and integration of medical implants have made a huge revolt in modern medicine by offering new opportunities in curing chronic illnesses and restoration of bodily functions. Commercially pure titanium and its alloys are the widely used implant materials owing to the [....] » Read More
