The process of doping of CdS nanoparticles with Mn during colloidal synthesis is analyzed by EPR and optical studies. Analysis of EPR results demonstrated that Mn(2+) ions are successfully incorporated into the nanoparticles and occupy the crystal sites both in the bulk of a NP and near the surface of a NP. Optical absorption measurements revealed the retardation of absorption edge shift during...

• We have successfully synthesized Ge NPs in acetone using pulsed laser ablation. • The average size of NPs is found to decrease with the increase in laser pulse energy. • The NP number density increases with the increase in pulse energy of the ablation. • Size dependent blue luminescence has been observed from the synthesized Ge NPs. • The shift in the Raman peak position has been interpreted ...

the mössbauer spectra of nanoferrite materials such as ni0.25mn0.75fe2o4, co0.5mn0.5fe2o4 and ni0.4co0.6fe2o4 have been reported and the above materials were prepared by sol-gel combustion method using metal nitrates as source material and polyvinyl alcohol(pva) as agglomeration reducing agent. as the structural, thermal and magnetic properties (vsm) of the above ferrites have been published al...

High rates of coinfection occur in malaria endemic regions, leading to more severe disease outcomes. Understanding how coinfecting pathogens influence the immune system is important in the development of treatment strategies that reduce morbidity and mortality. Using the Plasmodium chabaudi mouse model of malaria and immunization with model Ags that are either T-dependent (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophen...

The heavy quark system is an excellent probe to learn about the QCD dynamics at finite density. First, we discuss the properties of the J/ψ and D meson at finite nucleon density. We discuss why their properties should change at finite density and then introduce an exact QCD relation among these hadron properties and the energy momentum tensor of the medium. Second, we discuss attempts to calcul...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect birth weight on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality immunocastrated male pigs. Seventy-two boars were assigned three categories (BiW): light BiW pigs (LP: 0.98±0.083 kg BW; n = 24), normal (NP: 1.42±0.067 heavy (HP: 1.85±0.096 24). For treatment design, we considered a range two standard deviations (SD) [...]
