Sixteen high-resolution marine aerosol (Na, SO4 ) records from spatially distributed International Trans Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) ice cores spanning the last ~200 years from the Pine Island-Thwaites and Ross drainage systems and the South Pole are used to examine sources (sea spray and frost flowers) and transport pathways of marine aerosols into West Antarctica. Factors contribu...

Microsized nanostructured silicon-carbon composite is a promising anode material for high energy Li-ion batteries. However, large-scale synthesis of high-performance nano-Si materials at a low cost still remains a significant challenge. We report a scalable low cost method to synthesize Al/Na-doped and defect-abundant Si nanorods that have excellent electrochemical performance with high first-c...

Potentiometric investigation on {H2O+NaNO3+PEG1500} mixtures were made at T=308.15K, using electrochemical cells with two ion-selective electrodes, (Na+ glass) as the cation ion-selective electrode against (NO3- solvent-polymer PVC) as the anion ion-selective electrode. The mean ionic activity coefficients of NaNO3 were measu...

Post-harvest pest control can rely on few approved pesticides and tools; hence, there is a rising interest in new sustainable, eco-friendly approaches. In this study, eight commercial essential oils (EOs) (anise Pimpinella anisum, artemisia Artemisia vulgaris, fennel Foenicum vulgare, garlic Allium sativum, lavender Lavandula angustifolia, mint Mentha piperita, rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, ...

background: melaleuca cajuputi essential oil in aerosol spray was evaluated against the dengue vectors aedes ae­gypti and ae. albopictus at low cost housing flats in section 10, setapak, kuala lumpur, malaysia. methods: essential oil in aerosol viz: 5% and 10% of concentrations were sprayed for 5 seconds each towards hung mos­quitoes in 5 cylindrical net cages. aerosol weights were recorded bef...

The present study is the first attempt to examine temporal and spatial characteristics of aerosol properties and classify their modes over Iran. The data used in this study include the records of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Angstrom Exponent (AE) from MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Aerosol Index (AI) from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), obtained from 2005 t...

Facemasks have been a critical line of defense in the Covid-19 pandemic and used for decades to reduce inhalation sub-micron aerosols, including bacteria, viruses nano-materials. These facemasks leverage electrostatic charge properties non-woven electret fibre mats remove aerosols. However, topographical these not well characterized at nano-scale. In this study, we use atomic force microscopy (...

The present study aimed to investigate the mode of action of nano-CaPs in vivo as a therapy for solid tumor in mice. To achieve this goal, Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) was transplanted into 85 Swiss male albino mice. After nine days, the mice were divided into 9 groups. Groups 1 and 2 were allocated as the EAC control. Groups 3 and 4 were injected once intratumorally (IT) by nano-calcium pho...
