[ 1 ] - Photodegradation of Methylene Blue Solution via Au Doped TiO2 Nanocomposite Catalysts Prepared Using Novel Photolysis Method

Gold doped TiO2 has been successfully synthesized via the photolysis method and is characterized by different techniques. NPs of gold doped TiO2 were utilized for the degradation of methylene blue as a material pigmentation pollutant. The substitution of Au on TiO2 surface was established via XRD, EDX, TEM, and FT-IR techniques. The TEM and SEM results appea...

[ 2 ] - Investigating the Effects of Hydro-alcoholic Urtica Dioica Extract and Retinoic Acid on Follicular Development: An Animal Study

Background: Urtica dioica (UD), as a natural antioxidant, has positive effects on oocyte maturation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hydro-alcoholic UD extract and retinoic acid on follicular development in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) condition.    Methods: A total of 40 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: group 1 received normal saline, group 2 was given...
