Non-linear optical (NLO) organic crystals of L-argininum formate (LAF) have been grown using low temperature solution growth technique. The cell parameters of the crystal were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. FTIR analysis was done to confirm the presence of various functional groups in the LAF crystalline sample. FT–Raman analysis carried out on LAF ascertained the p...

in this study, the effect of recrystallization of naproxen in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (hpc) on the release rate of drug was investigated. crystals were generated by the anti-solvent approach using the hpc solution in water as the anti-solvent. the samples were subjected to various physicochemical evaluations such as crystal size, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform i...

crystalline antimony sulfide (sb2s3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°c for 24h.using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare sb2s3 is reported for first time. crystal growth of sb2s3 was done by increasing reaction t...

nano-sized batio3 powders with particular nb concentrations were prepared by rotary- hydrothermal (rh) method. hydrothermal method was used at 180 °c for 5 hours with new ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. new hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system batio3±nb2o3 in high temperature to...

Late Quaternary soils in southern New Mexico support previous work that suggested pedogenic gypsum accumulates in successive stages as a function of time, similar to pedogenic carbonate. However, gypsum also occurs as small (0·5}1 mm), powdery spheres that we term snowball morphology. The snowball morphology represents one of the initial stages of pedogenic gypsum development. Scanning electron...

Mathematical morphology is based on the algebraic framework of complete lattices and adjunctions, which endows it with strong properties and allows for multiple extensions. In particular, extensions to fuzzy sets of the main morphological operators, such as dilation and erosion, can be done while preserving all properties of these operators. Another extension concerns bipolar fuzzy sets, where ...

Mathematical morphology is difficult to introduce for color images because in the color vector space, minimum and maximum cannot be easily defined. So, the necessary conditions, represented by the complete lattice structure induced by an ordering relation, cannot be accomplished. Instead, we can build a pseudo-morphology based on reduced color ordering. This approach uses geometrical shape inva...

well-defined crystalline pbse nanocubes and nanospheres have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method by using pb2+- edta and pb2+- oleylamine complexes at 180°c for different reaction times. composition and morphology of the samples have been characterized by means of xrd and sem. gradual release process of pb2+ from pb2+-edta and pb2+-oleylamine complexes can adjust the growth ra...

the synthesis of nb doped batio3 has been investigated under microwave-hydrothermal (mh) conditions in the temperature of 150°c for only 2 h using c16h36o4ti, bah2o2.8h2o and nbcl5 as ba, ti and  nb sources, respectively.  typical experiments performed on mh processing have not yet reported for nb doped batio3.  in the mh process, the formation of high purity nano tetragonal nb-batio3 was stron...

single crystal zno microrods are deposited on the surface of zn plate through corrosion of zn plate by h2o2, which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to h2o and o2. the structure and morphology of the obtained zno microrods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and electron diffraction. a thermodyn...
