Sensory evaluation is used to measure consciousness, and primarily developed in experimental and mathematical psychology. Sensory experiences can be reported using verbal (semantic) methods. This paper presents an overview of our semantic research achievements over the past decade, focusing on methodological attempts for substantiating the measure as a descriptive sensory analysis. Two types of...

Abstract AgInS 2 Quantum dots (AIS QDs) have high quantum yield and catalytic performance, which is promising materials in photo-catalytic optoelectronic fields. In the paper, it adopted a simple non-toxic method to synthesize AIS QDs. The effect of reaction temperature on growth mechanism, optical physical properties had been extensively investigated by using L-cysteine as sulfur source, their...

This paper is a definition of photo elicitation and a history of its development in anthropology and sociology. The view of photo elicitation in these disciplines, where the greatest number of photo elicitation studies have taken place, organizes photo elicitation studies by topic and by form. The paper also presents practical considerations from a frequent photo elicitation researcher and conc...

Photo-thermal catalysis is among the most effective alternative pathways used to perform chemical reactions under solar irradiation. The synergistic contributions of heat and light during photo-thermal catalytic processes can effectively improve reaction efficiency alter design selectivity, even operational instability. present review focuses on recent advances in photo-thermal-driven reactions...

The application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to the treatment of an effluent contaminated with hydrocarbon oils was investigated. The AOPs conducted were Fe2+/H2O2 (Fenton's reagent), Fe2+/H2O2/UV (Photo-Fenton's reagent) and UV-photolysis. These technologies utilize the very strong oxidizing power of hydroxyl radicals to oxidize organic compounds to harmless end products such as CO2 ...

Water oxidation is still one of the most important challenges to develop efficient artificial photosynthetic devices. In recent decades, development and study molecular complexes for water have allowed insight into principles governing catalytic activity mechanism as well establish ligand design guidelines improve performance. However, their durability long-term stability compromise performance...

TiO2 nanomaterials with controlled morphologies have attracted extensive interest because of potential applications in solar energy conversion, environmental cleanup and hydrogen generation. Nanoscale titanium dioxides have been produced as nanotubes, nanosheets, nanowires and mesoporous microspheres by a variety of approaches. Among the various nanomaterials, mesoporous microspheres have drawn...

Nano-crystalline TiO2 were synthesized by combustion method using metal nitrate solution and urea, glycin and citric acid fuels. Microwave irradiation was used as heating source. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were performed to characterize the obtained samples. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that in the case of citric aci...

Paraloid-Mg(OH)2 nanocomposites were synthesized via sonochemical method. Nanostructures were characterized by XRD and SEM. Thermal stability behavior of paraloid filled with magnesium hydroxide was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The influence of Mg(OH)2 nanostructures on the flame retardancy of the paraloid matrix was studied using UL-94 analysis. Our r...
