Published: July 2005

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulphide thin films were prepared by the chemical bath (CB) deposition using a mixed aqueous solution of cadmium chloride, thiourea, and ammonium chloride. The XRD patterns showed that the CdS films were of hexagonal phase with preferred (002) orientation. From ellipsometric measurements, the film thickness was found to be in order of 66 nm and the optical band gap was estimated to be 2.4 eV.

Bacteria pose a significant threat to human health as they can cause diseases and outbreaks; therefore rapid, easy, and specific detection of bacteria in a short time is crucial. Various methods such as polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have been developed for bacteria detection. However, most of these methods require sample preparation, trained personnel, and 2-4 days for identification.

Background: The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has surged, with an estimated 1 in 36 eight-year-olds in the United States meeting criteria for ASD in 2020. Autistic individuals face elevated rates of co-occurring medical, psychiatric, and behavioral conditions compared to non-autistic individuals. The rising ASD-patient demand is increasingly outpacing the capacity of ASD-specialty clinics, resulting in urgent need for autism-competent providers in general practice settings.
