Standardizing nanomaterials: A toxicologist’s view

Nanomaterials: A challenge for toxicologists

The new and unique applications offered by nanotechnology in diverse areas have made it so popular that it is being applied today in almost all aspects of daily life. Although the small size and subsequent larger surface area of nanoparticles (NPs) endow them with some highly useful and specific properties, it also renders them more active leading to unexpected and unanticipated consequences on...

Internet: a major resource for toxicologists.

Use of the Internet in developing countries is now growing faster. Internet has created a new conduit not only for communication but also in the access, sharing and exchange of information among scientists. The Internet is now viewed as the world's biggest library where retrieval of scientific literature and other information resources are possible within seconds. Large volumes of toxicological...

Effects of Nanomaterials on Polymer Composites - an Expatiate View

This paper portrays the various combinations of nanomaterials and matrix materials which were used to fabricate the nanocomposite laminates with and without fiber. An in-depth analysis was made on the various ways of preparing the nano influenced matrix and composite panels. In addition to this, an effort has been made to afford an outline of the impact of nanofillers within the matrix from the...

Standardizing Factors

Modifications in recorder standardization are required to correct inherent scalar differences among potential differences measured in a given electrocardiographic reference frame. In the frontal plane, agreement between the resultant vectors calculated from unipolar limb lead measurements and from standard lead measurements can be obtained by standardizing the galvanometer for recording the uni...
