Non-covalent functionalization of triazine framework decorated over reduced graphene oxide as a novel anode catalyst support for glycerol oxidation.

The electrocatalytic performance of platinum-gold(Pt-Au) nanoparticles decorated non-covalent functionalization of triazine framework derived from poly(cyanuric chloride-co-biphenyl) over reduced graphene oxide (Poly(CC-co-BP)-RGO) was carried out for glycerol in basic medium and their oxidized products were analysed to support the enhanced activity. The surface morphology and the composition of the catalyst were obtained using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrooxidation results illustrate that the Pt-Au/Poly(CC-co-BP)-RGO catalyst exhibits improved catalytic activity and stability when compared to that of Pt/Poly(CC-co-BP)-RGO, Pt/Poly(CC-co-BP) and Pt/RGO catalysts.

Impact of a Residential Rural Community-Based Training Program for Medical Students on Cognitive and Affective Domains of Learning in Community Medicine: A Mixed Methods Study.

Introduction: As part of undergraduate training in community medicine, students of 1-year MBBS at our medical college in South India undergo rural residential community-based training called Rural Orientation Program (ROP).

Objective: The objective was to study the impact of ROP at a medical college in South India.

Methodology: Short-term impact was studied immediately before and after ROP using a 30-item questionnaire administered to 142 students.
