background: nano-particles are extensively employed in most industries. several studies have been started to explore the probable detrimental effects of nano-particles on human reproduction. however, there is insufficient and controversially evident of effects of silver nano-particles on sperm parameters and other reproductive indices. objective: investigation of the effects of silver nano-part...

the potential use of nano technology for improving of withdrawal resistance of nail and screw in wood was evaluated. for this, the maintenance strength of nail and screw was measured under dry and wet conditions for poplar wood (populus nigra) coated with common paints in furniture industry and nano-particles. specimens with dimensions of 15×5×5 cm3 (l×r×t) were cut from poplar wood (populus ni...

We identify contributions to the valence band of the nanosized BaFe12−2xCoxTixO19 barium ferrite particles, from the cobalt and titanium dopants. Resonant photoemission results show that cobalt and titanium dopants strongly hybridize with the barium ferrite matrix. Fano resonances are identifi ed in the valence band region, at the Ba (5s), Ti (3p) and Co (3p) thresholds, and there are signifi c...

Heated scallop-shell (HSS) nano-particles, prepared using a wet grinding mill, and microparticles were examined for their antibacterial activity against vegetative bacterial cells and spores. The median diameters of the nano-particles and micro-particles were approximately 20 nm and 30 µm, respectively. The antibacterial activity of HSS against Escherichia coli increased with an increase in con...

zinc and iron nano-oxides (100 ppb) were promoted the hypericin and hyperforin production in hypericum perforatum cell suspension culture. high performance liquid chromatography method was used for detectection and identification of hypericin and hyperforin in h. perfuratum cell suspension cultures elicited with different concentrations of zinc and iron nano-oxide (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppb) after...

This paper studies the feasibility of using flame spray to produce ZrO2 nano-particles using a liquid precursor. The effects of varying precursor concentrations and ratio of diluting medium on the phase composition, size and morphology of ZrO2 nano-particles are discussed. The morphology and size of the ZrO2 nano-particles was very much dependent on the precursor concentration. The solvent rati...

An innovative route is reported to fabricate nano-particles in aqueous solution from oxyfluoride glass by the thermal induction and corrosion treatment in this letter. The investigations of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope based on nano-particles in glass ceramics (GCs) and aqueous solution indicate that the nano-particles formed in glass matrix during the thermal inductio...

The acicular Mn-Zn ferrite fine particles composed of 65.6 mol% Fe, 21.9 mol% Mn and 12.5 mol% Zn were made. These Mn-Zn femte particles were etched in IN-HC1 solution for 3hrs.. The fine particle was made up of several crystallites whose long axis were 0.2-1.0ptt1, and arranged to (31 1) direction. These fine particles were pressed with applying magnetic field. The oriented Mn-Zn ferrites were...

according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...
