PURPOSE Rapid development of nanotechnology has recently brought significant attention to the extraordinary biological features of nanomaterials. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate morphological characteristics of the assembles of gold and platinum nanoparticles (nano-Au and nano-Pt respectively), with Salmonella Enteritidis (Gram-negative) and Listeria monocytogenes (Gr...

Excessive consumption of nitrogen (N) to enhance production, which may lead to environmental pollution. While sustainable production is threatened due to low soil fertility and organic matter. This study was carried out as a factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design and three replications at the research field of the University of Jiroft in 2018-2019. The present study invest...

A study was conducted on clayey soils (vertisols) of southern Telangana zone (India) characterized by low soil organic carbon, available nitrogen and medium phosphorous (P) high potassium (K). The experiment involving seven (N) management practices (T1 to T7) recommended dose fertilizers (RDF) as application, varied rates foliar application nano urea (liquid) laid out in randomized block design...

Environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns are receiving considerable attention in nanoscience and nanotechnology (nano) research and development (R&D). Policymakers and others have urged that research on nano's EHS implications be developed alongside scientific research in the nano domain rather than subsequent to applications. This concurrent perspective suggests the importance of early...

Herein, we report synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene (NGr) interpenetrated 3-D Ninanocage (Ni-NGr) electrocatalyst by simple water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion technique for oxidation of water-to-dioxygen. Correlation of adsorption of NGr and subsequent interpenetration through the specific surface plane of nickel particles as well as concomitant interaction of N, C, with Ni at a nano-regime have be...

The increasing industrial application of metal oxide Engineered Nano-Particles (ENPs) is likely to increase their environmental release to soils. While the potential of metal oxide ENPs as environmental toxicants has been shown, lack of suitable control treatments have compromised the power of many previous assessments. We evaluated the ecotoxicity of ENP (nano) forms of Zn and Cu oxides in two...

Nano-silica is an important admixture for ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). However, complex production process and agglomeration problem of conventional nano-silica significantly limit its application in UHPC. In this study, a novel highly dispersed colloidal olivine (C-OnS) developed. The properties C-OnS are characterized with laser light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance zeta-pot...

Introduction and Background: Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials, such as alumina, beryllia, or glassceramic, whose final characteristics are produced by subjection to high temperatures. Nanomaterials is a rapidly growing area of ceramics [1-3] and can be classified into the following categories: Nano-particles submicron or ultra micron size particles; Nano-fibers – nanometer (nm) siz...

the level of dental and oral hygiene on elementary school age children is very low, so it can be increasing the incidence of dental and oral diseases which caused by various microorganisms. moutwash can keep dental and oral hygiene, but many commercial mouthwash is still used alcohol as their ingredients, which can be giving side effects, therefore, we still needed used alternative mouthwash, w...
