We present measurements of the desorption kinetics and dissociative sticking probability of methane on the surfaces of Pd(111) and Pd nanoparticles supported on MgO(100). A molecular beam system was used to directly probe the fraction of methane molecules that dissociate at the Pd surfaces as a function of the molecular beam energy and incident angle. Measurements on the Pd(111) surface confirm...

Using a semiconductor catalyst with sunlight can make the photodegradation of pollutants an economically viable process since solar energy is abundant natural source. Solar photocatalysis provide clean and green eco-friendly technology for analysis industrial effluents. Photocatalytic deterioration aqueous solution malachite oxalate dye (MGO dye) was studied using gelatin–cerium–copper sulphide...

Herein, we report, for the first time, synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic methyl blue dye degradation performance of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a facile green approach using Camellia sinensis (tea leaves) extract as reducing agent. The as-prepared materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), which confirmed large-scale synthesis well crystalli...

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has been extended to many fields such as agriculture, food industry, medicine and biotechnological fields. Thereby, human exposure to NPs consequently increases. Therefore, there is a concern about the potential biological effects and toxicity of NPs for humans and the environment. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity effects of magnesium oxide (MgO) a...

In situ and ex situ time-evolution of photoluminescence data during growth of ZnO/MgO core/shell quantum dots (Qdots) were used to study the stability of the green–white (CIE: 0.32, 0.41) luminescence from ZnO defects. The ZnO/MgO Qdots, synthesized by a sol–gel process, exhibited a quantum yield of 13% compared with less than 5% for ZnO Qdots. The growth of ZnO Qdots was arrested and the defec...

We present the fabrication and characterization of a low-loss enhanced backscattering fiber, having core doped with MgO-based nanoparticles (MgO-NP), for distributed sensing application. The fiber has scattering increment 48.9 dB two-way attenuation 14.3 dB/m; these are largest Rayleigh paired lowest losses this type fiber. In work, we provide thorough performances, their impact on networks, us...

materials and methods in this experimental study, nmri male mice were placed in groups receiving atropine (0.1 and 1 mg/kg), recipient of mgo-n (1, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg) and groups receiving atropine in effective dose and different doses of mgo-n were used. saline was used as a vehicle for drugs in the control groups. memory was evaluated with a step-down apparatus to determine the coming down late...

Mechanical properties of a scaffold play an important role in its in vivo performance in bone tissue engineering, due to the fact that implanted scaffolds are typically subjected to stress including compression, tension, torsion, and shearing. Unfortunately, not all the materials used to fabricate scaffolds are strong enough to mimic native bones. Extensive research has been conducted in order ...

We apply transition path sampling to the simulation of nanoparticles under pressure. As a barostat we use a bath of ideal gas particles that form a stochastically updated atmosphere around the nanoparticle. We justify this algorithm by showing that it preserves the distribution of an ideal gas at constant temperature and pressure by satisfying detailed balance. Based on this result, we present ...

  Background: The spread of pathogenic microorganisms in food and beverage and their resistance to antibiotics have raised major concerns for public health. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of various metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) including zinc oxide (ZnO), magnesium oxide (MgO), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) NPs against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Esch...
