Recent advancements in carbon/metal-based nano-catalysts for the reduction of CO to value-added products.

Due to the increased human activities in burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, the CO level in the atmosphere gets increased up to 415 ppm; although it is an essential component for plant growth, an increased level of CO in the atmosphere leads to global warming and catastrophic climate change. Various conventional methods are used to capture and utilize CO, among that a feasible and eco-friendly technique for creating value-added products is the CORR. Photochemical, electrochemical, thermochemical, and biochemical approaches can be used to decrease the level of CO in the atmosphere.

In Vitro Analysis of Enamel Patterns Across Three Species Using Stereomicroscopy.

Background Dental enamel, the outermost layer of the tooth, stands as a unique and remarkable tissue that plays a crucial role in safeguarding teeth against various external factors. The examination and analysis of enamel rod end patterns on tooth surfaces, referred to as ameloglyphics, offer a promising avenue for dental identification and forensic investigations in forensic medicine, thereby enhancing the precision and reliability of forensic analyses. This paper aims to evaluate and compare the ameloglyphics of different species under a stereomicroscope.

Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using and Their Toxicity on MCF-7 and Caco-2 Human Cancer Cells.

Introduction: The synthesis of nanoparticles using naturally occurring reagents such as vitamins, sugars, plant extracts, biodegradable polymers and microorganisms as reductants and capping agents could be considered attractive for nanotechnology. These syntheses have led to the fabrication of limited number of inorganic nanoparticles. Among the reagents mentioned above, plant-based materials seem to be the best candidates, and they are suitable for large-scale biosynthesis of nanoparticles.

Evaluation of Forensic Luminol in Detection of Blood Stains in Instruments Following Dental Treatment.

Background Saliva and blood, being biological materials with a high potential for infectious transmission in dental environments, pose significant risks to dental professionals, assistants, and patients alike. Therefore, practitioners must adopt stringent security measures to ensure patient care, considering all parties as potential carriers of microorganisms capable of causing infectious diseases. Currently, various methods of disinfection and sterilization are employed to maintain the aseptic chain effectively.

Exploring Age and Gender Identification Through Mandibular Parameters Using Orthopantomography: An Observational Study.

Aim This study aims to examine five mandibular parameters: coronoid ramus height, condylar ramus height, projective ramus height, minimum ramus breadth, and gonial angle, using orthopantomography (OPG). Introduction The mandible, a crucial part of the human skull, demonstrates sexual dimorphism, which makes it an important tool for determining sex in forensic and anthropological investigations. Its form and structure are relatively resistant to significant changes after death.
