silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. a simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  the present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

conclusions: the results showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect against intramacrophage b. abortus 544. results: the well diffusion agar study showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect on b. abortus 544. the mic and mbc of silver nanoparticles against b. abortus 544 were; 6 ppm and 8 ppm, respectively. the silver nanoparticles showed antibacterial effe...

A saw-toothed chessboard, or STC for short, is a kind of chessboard whose boundary forms two staircases from left down to right without any hole inside it. A rook at square (i, j) can dominate the squares in row i and in column j . The rook problem of an STC is to determine the minimum number of rooks that can dominate all squares of the STC. In this paper, we model an STC by two particular gra...

Global concern over the possible deleterious effects of noise on marine organisms was catalyzed when toothed whales stranded and died in the presence of high intensity sound. The lack of knowledge about mechanisms of hearing in toothed whales prompted our group to study the anatomy and build a finite element model to simulate sound reception in odontocetes. The primary auditory pathway in tooth...

Rehabilitation efforts for live stranded marine mammals are guided by diagnostic measures of blood chemistry and hematology parameters obtained from each individual undergoing treatment. Despite the widespread use of blood parameters, reference values are not available in the literature from healthy rough-toothed dolphins ( Steno bredanensis) with which to infer the health status of an animal. ...

an aqueous extract of pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv–vis spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the increase in abs...

according to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of cu, ag, au, pb and se. in this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. silver was separated from anode slime by using of hno3 and hcl. x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (xrf) was used to characterize anode sl...

in this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by uv-visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm corresponding to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. transmission el...
