Photodegradation of rhodamine-B in aqueous environment using visible-active gCN@CS-MoS nanocomposite.

Rapid industrial expansion leads to environmental pollution especially in an aqueous environment. Photocatalytic degradation is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly techniques used to treat industrial pollution due to its complete degradation capability of a variety of water contaminants to their non-toxic state. Graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS) provide efficient dye degradation, but MoS has few disadvantages.

Clinical Profiling of a Bilingual Client with Anomic Aphasia.

Background: Aphasia is an acquired condition affecting auditory comprehension, verbal expression, reading, writing and word-finding abilities along with sensory-motor impairments. Anomia refers to difficulty in word retrieval or naming which is seen irrespective of the type of aphasia. However, if a patient shows word-finding difficulty, in specific, a diagnosis of Anomic aphasia is made.

Immobilization of MIL-88(Fe) anchored TiO-chitosan(2D/2D) hybrid nanocomposite for the degradation of organophosphate pesticide: Characterization, mechanism and degradation intermediates.

In this study, we have rationally designed and grafted a bio-assisted 2D/2D TiO/MIL-88(Fe) (TCS@MOF) heterojunction by growing granular TiO on the surface of MIL-88(Fe) nanosheet, as hybrid photocatalyst. The hierarchical TCS@MOF composite was prepared via the one-pot solvothermal process and employed for monocrotophos (MCP) degradation under visible light region, since its persistent nature on soil and water causes major threat to the environment. The TCS@MOF promotes a number of packed high-speed nano-tunnels in the (p-n) heterojunctions, which significantly enhance the migration of photo-induced electrons (e) and holes (h), respectively and thus limits the charge recombination of es.

Properties of South-Indian rice cultivars: physicochemical, functional, thermal and cooking characterisation.

Physicochemical, functional, thermal, pasting and cooking properties of five Indian rice cultivars, ADT 36, 43, 39, IW PONNI and CR1009 were investigated. The starch, protein and fat contents varied from 1.321 to 2.
