objective(s):   the production of nano-hydroxyapatite by two encapsulated bacterial strains was the goal of current research.  materials and methods:   serratia marcscens atcc 14756 and pseudomonas aeruginosa ptcc 1570 were used by two methods including encapsulated form in 2% (w/v) alginate sodium powder and inoculated form (10%) in nutrient broth medium containing alginate sodium blank beads....

while the application of optical and photonic technologies in the communications, computing, medicine and industrial manufacturing has been growing rapidly, the miniaturization of these technologies has been slow due to the limitation on the diffraction. however, the developments of nanoscale components and guiding methods are continuing with a rapid pace. since waveguiding is a fundamental iss...

a new efficient and practical method for the room-temperature reduction of aromatic nitro compounds employing feso4. 7h2o, nabh4, h3pw12o40 system in h2o under mild conditions is reported. the method is simple, inexpensive, easily scaled-up and applicable for the large scale preparation of different substituted anilines.

introduction: mechanical stimulation of human mesenchymal stem cells has demonstrated changes in many cell behaviours such as adhesion, migration, growth and differentiation through mechanotransductive pathways. these include experiments on effect of nanotopography 1, shear stress, stiffness of extracellular matrix 2, strain, stress and acoustic wave energy 3 on cells. in this research we were ...

Understanding the microscopic dispersion and aggregation of nanoparticles at nanoscale media has become an important challenge during the last decades. Nanoscale modeling techniques are the important tools to tackle many of the complex problems faced by engineers and scientists. Making progress in the investigations at nanoscale whether experimentally or computationally has helped understand th...

we performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. for the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. for both systems, the freezing behavior of water molecules was studied using some qualities such as density, total en...

The role of conventional graphene-oxide in biosensing has been limited to that of a quenching substrate or signal transducer due to size inconsistencies and poor supramolecular response. We overcame these issues by using nanoscale GOs (nGO) as artificial receptors. Unlike conventional GO, nGOs are sheets with near uniform lateral dimension of 20 nm. Due to its nanoscale architecture, its supram...
