reduced graphene oxide film was synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode by electro reduction of graphene oxide powders in aqueous solution. then platinum nano particles were deposited on reduced graphene oxide film that was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode via electro reduction of platinum salt. the physical morphology of the platinum on reduced graphene oxide film was evaluated by sca...

background: antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. methods: in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

conclusions this easily fabricated electrode together with the fast and sensitive sw voltammetry was successfully applied for the determination of concentration of atz at trace levels, in different water samples. results the results revealed that decrease in peak current was proportional to atz concentration over the range of 5-75 ng/ml. the limit of detection (lod) and limit of quantification ...

cupper oxide structures with a variety of novel morphologies are synthesized using cupper foil as substrate via a solution route. the structure, morphology and phase of the as-synthesized nanostructures are analyzed by various techniques. sem images show gradual development of hierarchical structures of copper oxide with different morphology. in order to study the effect of reaction time and te...

background : incidence of  white  spots due  to  demineralization of  enamel  and  gingival problems  is  an  unacceptable  result  of  orthodontic  treatment.  plaque  accumulation  and bacterial biofilm growth are responsible for these phenomena. the resin-based dental composites used as bonding agents in orthodontics play a major role in mentioned problems. as recent researches assert the an...

in internal combustion engines, only about a third of the total fuel input energy is converted into useful work. if the energy rejected into the cooling system and the exhaust gases could be recovered instead and put into useful work, fuel economy would have been substantially improved. the main aim of this research paper was to evaluate the effects of the hybrid nano-catalyst containing cerium...

the volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of matricaria chamomilla l. (asteraceae) growing in botanical garden, isfahan university of medical sciences, iran, was investigated by gas chromatography (gc) and gc/ mass spectrometery (ms). sixty-three components were characterized, representing 86.21% of the total oil components detected. α-bisabolol oxide a (25.01%) and a-b...

various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) gene cause reduced production of no, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. the study designed to investigate the frequency of t-786c polymorphism of the enos gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (cad) in north-west of iran. one hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...

recent studies have established that sex hormones directly or indirectly affect t and b cells and macrophages by manipulating the production of cytokines. in this study the possibility of the effect of 5a-dht on macrophage (mφ) nitric oxide (no) release via interleukin-l, 6 (ll-1β, il-6) or tumor necrosis factor-a (tnfα) was investigated. the endogenous cytokines il-1β, il-6 and tnf-α were neut...
