Facile construction of multifunctional xNiCoO/BiVO heterojunction with accelerated charge transfer for efficient photocatalytic treatment of Cr (VI), MB and TC under visible light.

The release of industrial effluents, comprising of organic dyes, antibiotics, and heavy metals poses substantial environmental and ecological threats. Among the different approaches, the utilization of heterogeneous photocatalysis based on semiconducting metal oxides is of paramount important to removal of organic ( MB dye and TC antibiotic) and inorganic pollutants ( Cr (VI) ) in wastewater. In this work, a new approach for creating type-II heterojunction photocatalysts named xNiCoO/BiVO or BNC is suggested.

Effect of the molar concentration of pyrrole monomer on the rate of polymerization, growth and hence the electrochemical behavior of highly pristine PPy flexible electrodes.

The rate of polymerization decides growth and hence electrochemical properties of the electrodes of conducting polymers synthesized by SILAR method are affected by molar concentration of the precursors. Present work describes the effect of molar concentration of Pyrrole monomer on the rate of polymerization and hence the electrochemical performance of highly pristine PPy flexible electrodes. 304 grade flexible stainless steel strips were coated with the PPy using aqueous solutions of 0.

Role of serum adenosine deaminase in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Background: Definitive laboratory diagnosis and confirmation of tuberculosis remains a major challenge because of lack of specificity and sensitivity of diagnostic methods especially in sputum smear negative tuberculosis. Many studies have proved the role of ADA in diagnosis of tuberculosis in effusion fluids and a decrease in ADA activity after treatment. This study was aimed to investigate the role of serum ADA level as an early diagnostic and prognostic marker for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).
