nanocrystalline particles of cerium oxide (ceo2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using cerium nitrate and urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. the results revealed that the formation of ceo2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. well faceted ceo2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a...

In recent years, it has become evident that it is necessary to systematically and accurately define particle characteristics in order to understand the potential toxicity of nanoparticles to biological systems. The properties that need to be emphasized are size, shape, dispersion, doping, aggregation, functionalization, physical and chemical properties, surface area, and surface chemistry. Rout...

Domain decomposition is one of the most eeective and popular parallel computing techniques for solving large scale numerical systems. In the special case when the amount of computation in a subdomain is proportional to the volume of the subdomain, domain decomposition amounts to minimizing the surface area of each subdomain while dividing the volume evenly. Motivated by this fact, we study the ...

Due to their non-toxic nature, biodegradability and production from renewable resources, research has shown an increasing interest in the use of biosurfactants in a wide variety of applications. This paper reviews the characterization of rhamnolipid and sophorolipid biosurfactants based on their hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity and their ability to form microemulsions with a range of oils without ...

Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has been made in the past two decades to understand the deformation physics and mechanical behaviors of nanowires, and to interpret the discrepancies between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions. This review focused...

background: different methods have been used for characterization of leishmania promastigotes. monoclonal antibodies are useful in characterization of   leishmania spp . both amastogotes and promastigotes. objective: comparing the characterization of   leishmania spp. promastigotes with immunoperoxidase test (avidin-biotin) techniques and an indirect immunofluorescent assay (ifa).   methods: ap...
