Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is a common oxidizer in composite propellants, and its combustion behavior can be tailored by micro- nano-metal oxide catalysts. pellets were manufactured with nano-titanium iron at several mass loadings (0–3%) to isolate their effects on AP. The samples burned from 3.45 34.5 MPa (500–5000 psi) constant-volume strand bomb. Microscopy characterization was completed for ...

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...

Nanoparticles are atomic or molecular particles with at least 1–100 nanometer diameters. They have entered vastly into the world of agriculture and biology; this is because of their special effect and their unique features. Their unknown impact on living things and the ecosystems has caused a lot of concern. This research was done in order to study the effects of nano-TiO2 and nano aluminium on...

Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate which is produced through glucoraphanin hydrolysis via myrosinase activity. In the present study, SFN content and peroxidase activity has been assessed in treated Lepidium draba seedlings with different concentrations of iron and copper during 8 and 16 hours treatment. The results showed that the SFN content drastically elevated at treatment with...

background: an increased oxidative stress in patients under treatment with high concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia) is considered to be one of the major mechanisms of lung injury. between different mediators, transition metal ions especially iron, by generation of very reactive free radicals play an important role in oxidative stress process. disruption of normal iron hemostasis has been repor...

Rapid population growth has evolved the big problem of limited fresh water supply in the world and the wastewater treatment is the only recycling process which can overcome this problem. Technology advancement has led us to the nanotechnology which is having tremendous scope for wastewater treatment. Nanoadsorbents, magnetic nanoparticles, nanofiltration, nano zero valent iron, nanocatalysts, n...

background: the greater surface of bioactive glass nanoparticles presents an incomparable and promising feature similar to the biological apatite. nanoparticles improve cellular adhesion, enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increase biomineralization for periodontal regeneration and dental implants. considering the fact that interaction between periodontal cells and bone g...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is an important contributor to surface water pollution due to the release of acid and metals. Fe(II) in AMD reacts with dissolved oxygen to produce iron oxide precipitates, resulting in further acidification, discoloration of stream beds, and sludge deposits in receiving waters. It has recently been shown that new fuel cell technologies, based on microbial fuel cells, c...
