BaAlO/CaAlO/CaAlO/CaAlO:x% Sm (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.9) (hereafter called BCCC:x% Sm) nanophosphors were successfully prepared by citrate sol-gel method. The structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of the prepared nanophosphors were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the nanophosphors composed of the mixed phases of the hexagonal (CaAlO, BaAlO) and cubic (CaAlO, CaAlO) crystal structures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that doping influences the morphology of the prepared nanophosphor. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) confirmed that the prepared phosphor particles are in the nanoscale range. Photoluminescence (PL) results showed emission peaks originating from the intrinsic defects within the BaAlO, CaAlO and Sm transitions. The optimum luminescence intensity was found at 0.7% Sm. Commission Internationale de l'éclairage (CIE) shows that the Sm doped samples emitted the orange colour.

In recent years, photocatalytic materials with a nanofiber-like morphology have garnered a surge of academic attention due to their distinctive properties, including an expansive specific surface area, a considerable high aspect ratio, a pronounced resistance to agglomeration, superior electron survivability, and robust surface activity. Consequently, the synthesis of photocatalytic nanofiber materials through various methodologies has drawn considerable attention. The electrospinning technique has been established as a prevalent method for fabricating nanofiber-structured materials, owing to its advantageous properties, including the ability for mass production and the assurance of high continuity.

Corn stover was used as raw material, and purification, oxalic acid treatment, oxidation treatment, and ultrasonic treatment were performed to realize the preparation of corn stover nanocellulose with low energy consumption. The effects of oxalic acid concentration (1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, and 5 wt%) on the purity, morphology, crystalline structure and oxidation efficiency of corn stover cellulose during oxalic acid treatment were investigated. The controllable preparation of corn stover nanocellulose was achieved by changing the parameter conditions of ultrasonic treatment.

Aims And Background: The study of the morphology of soft tissues as well as hard tissues of the orofacial region holds prime importance. A very less information is known about the lips (soft tissues) and maxillo-mandibular arches (hard tissue structures) in primary dentition. Henceforth, there is a need to classify, find the prevalence and correlation of various lip shapes, and arch forms in primary dentition.

Spermatogenesis in Lepidoptera holds significant importance due to its unique process of dichotomous spermatogenesis, yielding eupyrene and apyrene spermatozoa through a complex molecular mechanism. While E3 ubiquitin ligases are known to play vital roles in spermatogenesis across various processes, their functions in dichotomous spermatogenesis remain less known. We utilized the RNAi, biochemical and microscopic procedures to unravel the function of in dichotomous spermatogenesis of adult .
