We report the synthesis and application of a novel Exfoliated graphite/Selenium-Zinc oxide (EG/Se-ZnO) nanocomposite for photodegradation of methylene blue dye and its antibacterial activity. The composite was characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM. Applicability of EG/ Se-ZnO nanocomposite as photocatalyst was investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue as a model for ...

This study explored the effects of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) immunity on expression of FSHR mRNA in pituitary and FSHR protein in uteri, and also confirmed its efficacy on uterine development. 42 prepuberty and non cyclic ewes were assigned to 6 experimental groups (EG) during anestrus season. Animals in EG-I, EG-II and EG-III were subcutaneously injected with 200, 300 and 400 μg alarelin antigens (...
