This work deals with the synthesis of SnO-modified sugarcane bagasse biochar (SnO-SBB) nanocomposites using an impregnation method. XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDX analyses were used to characterize the produced nanocomposites. Several factors influencing the removal of malachite green from wastewater the adsorption process were explored to maximize the effectiveness of this process.

In this paper, we report the effect of metal oxide (FeO) loading in different weight ratios (0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 4%) on the structural and electrical parameters, viz., the complex dielectric constant, electric modulus spectra, and the AC conductivity, of polymeric composites of PVDF/PMMA (30/70 weight ratio) blend.

The superior hydrogen storage properties makes the KSiH system a potential hydrogen storage material for practical applications. A theoretical capacity of 4.3 wt% bring this material to the front line of all the available hydrogen storage materials; however, the activation barrier of the reaction restricts the system to absorb and desorb hydrogen reversibly at elevated temperatures even if the thermodynamics suggest its room temperature operation.

The hunt for a cleaner energy carrier leads us to consider a source that produces no toxic byproducts. One of the targeted alternatives in this approach is hydrogen energy, which, unfortunately, suffers from a lack of efficient storage media. Solid-state hydrogen absorption systems, such as lithium amide (LiNH) systems, may store up to 6.

Background: Periodic clinical examination of the oral cavity is the mainstay for the early detection of oral cancers which can be further aided by screening individuals with high-risk factors that will identify candidates who should receive treatment to prevent cancer progression and reduce patient mortality. Among the diagnostic tools, staining is advocated as a simple, inexpensive and fairly sensitive method.

Materials And Methods: The present study involved the examination of fifty patients suspected of oral malignant or precancerous lesions by methylene blue staining.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain and stiffness throughout the connective tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain and localized tender points occur in the muscles, particularly those that support the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. Moreover the disorder includes fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances and constipation.
