Model for Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis: Effect of pH and Reaction Time.

The synthesis of gold nanoparticles is dependent on both the concentration of trisodium citrate dihydrate and the time that it interacts with tetrachloroauric acid. A wide range of gold nanoparticles with various sizes and dispersity can be produced based on control variables, such as time of reaction and acid concentration, using a similar approach to that of the Turkevich model. In this model, the pH of the solution decreases slightly throughout the reaction (0.

Evidence-based National Consensus: Recommendations for Physiotherapy Management in COVID-19 in Acute Care Indian Setup.

Background: With the Wuhan pandemic spread to India, more than lakhs of population were affected with COVID-19 with varying severities. Physiotherapists participated as frontline workers to contribute to management of patients in COVID-19 in reducing morbidity of these patients and aiding them to road to recovery. With infrastructure and patient characteristics different from the West and lack of adequate evidence to existing practices, there was a need to formulate a national consensus.

Synthesis, characterization and properties of novel polyamides derived from 4 4' bis(4-carboxy methylene) biphenyl and various diamines.

Novel aromatic aliphatic diacid monomer, 4 4' bis(4-carboxy methylene) biphenyl was synthesized via friedel craft acylation with acetic anhydride followed by willgerodot reaction and used in the preparation of polyamides by direct polycondensation using the Yamazaki phosphorylation reaction with commercial aromatic diamines. These polyamides were obtained in good yield with moderate-to-high-molecular-weight build up as evidenced by inherent viscosities in the range of 0.52-0.

Synthesis and characterization of semi-aromatic polyamides containing heterocyclic 1,3,5 s-triazine and methylene spacer group for thermally stable and colloidal property.

A new aromatic diacid (II) was synthesized and Characterized by Spectroscopic techniques namely, FT-IR,  H and  C NMR, etc. A series of aromatic aliphatic polyamides containing phenoxy s-triazine ring with methylene spacer group was synthesized from diacid (II) and various aromatic diamines by using Yamazaki Phosphorylation method. These polyamides were obtained in good yields and characterized by solubility in common organic solvent, inherent viscosity, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction analysis.
