This study presents an eco-friendly, cost-effective approach for synthesizing highly efficient nanocatalysts with the help of organic waste. Iron nanoparticles (INPs) were synthesized from aqueous extracts of potato, potato peel, and potato leaf and were evaluated for their photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of methylene blue dye. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) confirmed FeO nanoparticles cubic crystal structure with the smallest crystallite size (9.

Background: This equity focused evaluation analyses change in inter-district inequity of maternal health services (MHS) in Karnataka state between 2006-07 & 2012-13, alongside association of MHS inequity with distribution of maternal deaths.

Methods: Repeated cross-sectional analysis of inequity and decomposition was done on nine district level MHS indicators using Theil's T index. Data was obtained from population linked district level facility surveys and health information systems.
