Experimental Investigation of Thermal Conductivity of Water-Based FeO Nanofluid: An Effect of Ultrasonication Time.

Nanofluid preparation is a crucial step in view of their thermophysical properties as well as the intended application. This work investigates the influence of ultrasonication duration on the thermal conductivity of Fe3O4 nanofluid. In this work, water-based Fe3O4 nanofluids of various volume concentrations (0.

Sonochemical preparation and characterization of Sm-doped GO/KSrPO nanocomposite photocatalyst for degradation of methylene blue dye.

The present work pertains to synthesis of Sm-doped GO/KSrPO (GO/KSrPO:Sm) nanocomposite using ultrasound-assisted method. Successful decoration of graphene oxide sheets with the KSrPO:Sm phosphor was confirmed using analysis techniques including SEM, EDS, UV/visible spectrometry, XRD, and FTIR of the prepared GO/KSrPO:Sm nanocomposite. Further, photocatalytic activity of this nanocomposite material was studied by examining degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye from water.

A review of graphene-TiO and graphene-ZnO nanocomposite photocatalysts for wastewater treatment.

Technologies for wastewater remediation have been growing ever since the environmental and health concern is realized. Development of nanomaterials has enabled mankind to have different methods to treat the various kinds of inorganic and organic pollutants present in wastewater from many resources. Among the many materials, semiconductor materials have found many environmental applications due to their outstanding photocatalytic activities.

Distribution of rotavirus genotypes in Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2012-2016: Re-emergence of G3P[8] after over a decade of interval.

Group A rotavirus causes a substantial proportion of diarrhoea related deaths worldwide among children under five years. We analyzed rotavirus prevalence and genotypes distribution among patients admitted with diarrhoea at icddr,b hospital in Dhaka during 2012-16. Stool specimens (n = 1110) were collected from diarrhoea patients and tested for RVA antigen using enzyme immunoassay.

The scope and limitations of insecticide spraying in rural vector control programmes in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in India.

The resurgence of malaria in India began in 1966 and the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were no exception to this phenomenon. In both states the peak occurrence came in 1976. Malaria was largely confined to highly vulnerable and receptive areas.
