proper feeding is necessary to have appropriate growth, health and also to increase resistance to inappropriate condition such as stressors and diseases. therefore mineral and vitamin supplements are added to fish diet to improve its growth and health. food supplements have different roles in diet. these cause better food metabolism, higher hardness and strength of bones, better ionic exchanges...

The Class F fly ash has been subjected to high energy ball milling and has been converted into nanostructured material. The nano structured fly ash has been characterized for its particle size by using particle size analyzer, specific surface area with the help of BET surface area apparatus, structure by X-ray diffraction studies and FTIR, SEM and TEM have been used to study particle aggregatio...

the mixed metal nanocomposite mgo∙al2o3∙zno has been prepared by coprecipitation method. the product was characterized by xrd. the average particle size was found to be 34.89 nm from xrd data. sem and sem-eds were studied for evaluating surface morphology and elemental composition. the ftir spectrum of prepared mixed metal nanocomposites mgo∙al2o3∙zno and mgo∙al2o3∙zno-curcumin were studied. th...

this study was conducted to enhance the antimicrobial properties and water absorption of sanitary papers. for this purpose, montmorillonite nano clay with bentonite brand (has a layered structure in which its thickness is nano metric), was processed with homogenizer to achieve a stable colloidal system with nanometer dimensions of particle size. then, different weight levels of raw and homogeni...

Nano-structured copper oxides were successfully prepared through direct calcination of 1D ladderlike metal-organic framework [Cu2(btec)(2,2'-bipy)2]∞, (btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate and 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and porous coordination polymer [Cu(BDC)(bipy)](BDCH2), (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The nano-structure of the as-synthesized samples are charac...

Computational studies have attracted the attention of researchers to understand the structural behavior of the molecules. These methods grade complex systems for novel properties with new predictions in areas of physics, chemistry and biology useful for conduct of experimental studies. Nanoparticles in present day technologies have become integral part in diverse areas of science mostly with me...

the potential risk of metal accumulation in periurban agricultural areas is a matter for concern.the climate characteristics and carbonate content of calcareous agricultural mediterranean soils typical inthese areas favour metal accumulation at the surface level; however there is also a risk of potential metalmobility. our study focuses on the soil properties affecting metal mobility in these s...

Context and objective: A novel method of fabricating probiotic nanowhiskers—using pure cheese as a source probiotics, sans metal/chemical surfactants—is reported in the present study. Materials methods: This was followed by an extensive characterization; FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, particle size measurements, transmission electron microscopy. Thermal analysis via differential scanning...

Design and fabrication of a catalyst with the highest activity can be achieved by optimising synthesis conditions. In this study, sol-gel conditions citric acid concentration, gelling temperature, complex time, calcination temperature were studied for preparation novel semi-hexagonal calcium/titania-zirconia nano-catalyst used in esterification reaction. After around 24 samples at various condi...
