ZnS thin film properties are overviewed in this research paper. These include absorbance, transmittance, optical band gap, refractive index and structure (on the basis of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy). It has been observed that these film properties are dependent on various parameters e.g. thickness of the film, deposition method, deposition rate, substrate material, subst...

In this study, we solely focused on the isolation of nano cellulose from the teak wood by adopting pulping and acid hydrolysis. Top down method is carried out in the extraction of Cellulosic nano fibrils. The removal of non-cellulosic constituents is monitored by FTIR-ATR and UV-Vis DRS Spectroscopic techniques throughout the isolation process. The acidic hydrolysis is applied to extract the na...

BACKGROUND Biodiesel production using Pongamia pinnata (P. pinnata) seeds results in large amount of unused seed hull. These seed hulls serve as a potential source for cellulose fibres which can be exploited as reinforcement in composites. METHODS These seed hulls were processed using chlorination and alkaline extraction process in order to isolate cellulose fibres. Scanning electron microsco...

The biosynthesis of poly-(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) by Pseudomonas guezennei using glucose and/or fatty acids with chain-length from 3 to 18 carbon atoms as carbon sources was investigated. Glucose, acetate, pyruvate, propionate, valerate, hexanoate, heptanoate, octanoate, decanoate, and oleic acid were supplemented in the mineral medium as the sole carbon source or as a mixture for PHAs accu...

The purpose of this work is to investigate the relation of hydration and the degree of crystallinity for poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) tablets using Raman spectroscopic methods and complementary thermal analysis for pharmaceutical interests. The influence of the tableting process is also investigated by measuring the degree of crystallinity and the melting point of PEO powder and tablets. The hyd...

conclusions in patients with chc g1 and receiving combination therapy, itpa snp-based index was an accurate and practical solution for prediction of severe anemia. background single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) in the inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (itpa) gene correlate with ribavirin (rbv)-induced anemia in patients with chronic hepatitis c (chc) receiving combination therapy. managing...

Background: Neonatal mortality rate is an important health index. The present study was conducted to determine the mortality rate and its causes in neonatal intensive care units (NICUS) in Iran. Methods: Online search was done without time limit until June 2018 in several databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, Mag...
