objective(s): the development of reliable and ecofriendly process for the synthesis of nano-metals is an important aspect in the field of nanotechnology. nano-metals are a special group of materials with broad area of applications. materials and methods: in this study, extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (snps) performed by use of the gram positive soil streptomycetes. streptomycete...

to enhance solubility and the performance of a plant gum (from south peach tree of china, sp gum) as a drilling fluid additive, we explored the potential of modified sp (msp) gum by modifying it with epichlorohydrin. the modification conditions, such as the mass ratio of  the crosslinking agent, ph and temperature, were optimized and the results show that 56.40 g/100g mass ratio of the crosslin...

We study the fermionic sector of a probe D8-brane in the supergravity background made of D4-branes compactified on a circle with supersymmetry broken explicitly by the boundary conditions. At low energies the dual field theory is effectively four-dimensional and has proved surprisingly successful in recovering qualitative and quantitative properties of QCD. We investigate fluctuations of the fe...

Using holographic QCD based on D4-branes and D8-anti-D8-branes, we have computed couplings of glueballs to light mesons. We describe glueball decay by explicitly calculating its decay widths and branching ratios. Interestingly, while glueballs remain less well understood both theoretically and experimentally, our results are found to be consistent with the experimental data for the scalar glueb...

in present study, role of agricultural on eco countries regional convergence was assessed in dynamic panel data model. at first, eco countries convergence and agricultural sector effect in convergence acceleration was surveyed by generalized method of moments (gmm) over the period 1996-2005. results showed that, this is convergence between eco countries. in spite of increasing regional growth, ...

Purpose Recent OECD (2010, 2011) reports argue that eco-innovation is the key to realising growth. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the drivers of eco-innovation and to compare the impact of eco-innovation and non-eco-innovation on firm performance. The paper provides insights into the role government regulation can play in directing and stimulating eco-innovation. Design/methodology/app...

Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) could reflect underlying inflammatory and oxidative stresses, which play important roles in pathogenetic pathways of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, epidemiologic evidence was limited. We conducted a study in Wuhan-Zhuhai (WHZH) cohort of 3649 community participants to investigate the association between eCO, FeNO and ...

following collapse of the soviet :union:, regional integration has been regarded as one of the requirements that need to be met by various regions wishing to be a part of globalization process. the eco region, particularly countries in central asia and the caucasus are not an exception. nevertheless, this region has been faced with some integration challenges. employing an analytical-descriptiv...

We systematically investigated iodine–metal and iodine–iodine bonding in van Koten’s pincer complex 19 modifications changing substituents and/or the transition metal with a PBE0–D3(BJ)/aug–cc–pVTZ/PP(M,I) model chemistry. As novel tool for quantitative assessment of bond strength these complexes we used local mode analysis, originally introduced by Konkoli Cremer, complemented NBO Bader’s QTAI...

A novel series of pyrazole derivatives containing imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine D1-D8 moiety has been synthesized. The reaction 2-aminopyridine with 4-phenylphenacyl bromide and 4-bromophenacyl gave the products A1, respectively. These then reacted DMF POCl3 to obtain new aldehyde B B1. two aldehydes were condensed various acetophenone substitutes yield corresponding chalcone C1-C10. Following this, c...
