Physiochemical characterization of sodium doped zinc oxide nano powder for antimicrobial applications.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the semiconductor materials with unique antimicrobial properties towards various microorganisms. In this article, pure and Na doped ZnO nanopowders were synthesized by easiest and cost-effective co-precipitation process. X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), ultraviolet - visible (UV - Vis) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) techniques were used to characterize the particle size, surface morphology and chemical composition of prepared materials.

Advancements in MXene-Polymer Nanocomposites in Energy Storage and Biomedical Applications.

MXenes are 2D ceramic materials, especially carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides derived from their parent 'MAX' phases by the etching out of 'A' and are famous due to their conducting, hydrophilic, biocompatible, and tunable properties. However, they are hardly stable in the outer environment, have low biodegradability, and have difficulty in drug release, etc., which are overcome by MXene/Polymer nanocomposites.

Sex determination by mandibular ramus: A digital orthopantomographic study.

Aims And Objectives: (1) To determine the usefulness of mandibular ramus as an aid in sex determination. (2) To evaluate Anteroposterior | superioinferior angle of mandibular condyle.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using orthopantomographs of 60 males and 60 females, which were taken using Kodak 8000C Digital Panoramic and Cephalometric System (73 kVp, 12 mA, 13.

Spectroscopic studies (FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV-Visible), normal co-ordinate analysis, first-order hyperpolarizability and HOMO, LUMO studies of 3,4-dichlorobenzophenone by using Density Functional Methods.

The vibrational frequencies of 3,4-dichlorobenzophenone (DCLBP) were obtained from the FT-IR and Raman spectral data, and evaluated based on the Density Functional Theory using the standard method B3LYP with 6-311+G(d,p) as the basis set. On the basis of potential energy distribution together with the normal-co-ordinate analysis and following the scaled quantum mechanical force methodology, the assignments for the various frequencies were described. The values of the electric dipole moment (μ) and the first-order hyperpolarizability (β) of the molecule were computed.

Synthesis, structural and luminescence properties of Mn doped ZnO/Zn2SiO4 composite microphosphor.

Manganese doped ZnO/Zn2SiO4 (MZS) composite phosphors were successfully prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The structural and optical properties of as-prepared samples were analysed by means of XRD, SEM, PLE and PL. The result shows that the samples consist of both ZnO and ZnSiO4 phases which confirms the composite phosphor.

Polarographic determination of deltamethrin.

The electrochemical characteristics of deltamethrin have been determined by means of electrochemical techniques such as d.c. polarography, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse polarography over a wide range of pH from 2.

Differential pulse polarographic determination of procymidone in formulations and wine.

The dicarboximide fungicide procymidone was studied systematically by using direct current polarography, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse polarography (DPP), controlled potential electrolysis, and millicoulometry in the universal buffer medium with dimethylformamide as the solvent. Procymidone exhibited a single well-defined polarographic wave in the pH range 2.0-6.
