Sustainable multilayer biomass carbon and polymer hybrid column as potential antibacterial water filter.

Stipulation of fresh water for domestic use without any microbial, organic and inorganic contaminants is of high need. Sustainable, efficient, cost-effective and robust water purification technologies is of high need and it can be achieved using nanomaterials and their composite. Nanostructured graphene has unique properties like high surface to volume ratio, higher absorbability, reusability with minimal chemical alterations, and low cytotoxicity.

causing a non-lactational breast abscess in a non-cystic fibrosis patient in Tamil Nadu, India.

Burkholderia cepacia complex is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen usually found in people with an immunocompromised condition such as cystic fibrosis (CF). In a tropical country like India, this organism has been associated with a number of hospital-acquired infections including sepsis. We present here a report of a case of Burkholderia vietnamiensis causing a non-lactational breast abscess in a non-CF patient.

Near Band Edge Emission by Free Exciton Decay and Intrinsic Ferromagnetic Ordering of Cu-Doped SnO2 Hollow Nanofibers.

High quality nanocrystalline pristine and Cu-doped SnO2 hollow nanofibers were successfully prepared through simple and effective electrospinning technique. Nanofibers calcined at 600 °C for 3 h were characterized with different analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron Microscope (TEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Observed TEM images and XRD patterns were corroborate to the formation of tetragonal crystalline SnO2 hollow nanofibers with rutile phase.

Optical and magnetic studies of electrospun Mn-doped SnO2 hollow nanofiber dilute magnetic semiconductor.

The hollow nanofibers of Mn-doped SnO2 were fabricated by electrospinning method. The structural and magnetic properties of the electrospun fibers calcined at 600 degrees C were studied. X-ray diffraction patterns of the nanofibers showed broad diffraction peaks and were indexed to the characteristic diffraction pattern of tetragonal SnO2.
