cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were grown using wet chemical method by dissolving the reactants ofcadmium acetate and sodium sulfide in the presence of thioglycerol (tg) as capping agent in ethanolsolvent. different nanoparticle sizes and size distribution were obtained through varying the molaritiesof thioglycerol. at higher tg concentration, synthesis provides a nearly monodisperse nanoparticl...

A series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TiO2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% TS by in-situ polymerization method. The influence of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of PS matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/TS/TiO2 hybrid ...

Nanocomposite zinc ferrites were synthesized using glycine-nitrates by sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The influence of calcination temperatures varying from 400 to 900°C on structural and magnetic properties of spinel ZnFe2O4 powders have been investigated. The characterization measurements including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetomet...

Spreading processes represent a very efficient tool to investigate the structural properties of networks and the relative importance of their constituents, and have been widely used to this aim in static networks. Here we consider simple disease spreading processes on empirical time-varying networks of contacts between individuals, and compare the effect of several immunization strategies on th...
