This study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of in ovo injection of nano-silver, thyme and savory extracts in broiler breeder eggs on growth performance, lymphoid organ weights, immune and blood parameters and bone mineral concentration of broiler chicks. A total of 560 fertilized broiler breeder eggs were divided into 7 groups. On d 5 of incubation, eggs were treated with the fol...

Since the dental implant/abutment interface cannot totally seal the passage of microorganisms, the interior of implant becomes a reservoir of pathogenic microorganisms that produce and maintain chronic inflammation in the tissues around implants. Silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) are potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of the nano-Ag t...

We developed a method to fabricate an array of silver non-planar nano-arc-gaps via inverted hemispherical colloidal lithography and shadow metal evaporation methods. It is found that there is a localized surface plasmon mode which results in extraordinary optical transmission. The electric field is strongly localized at the nano-arc-gap region and therefore induces a resonance that has an ultra...

Nanosilver is one nanomaterial that is currently under a lot of scrutiny. Much of the discussion is based on the assumption that nanosilver is something new that has not been seen until recently and that the advances in nanotechnology opened completely new application areas for silver. However, we show in this analysis that nanosilver in the form of colloidal silver has been used for more than ...

For increasing first law efficiency in terms of COP and Second law efficiency (Exergetic Efficiency) of VCR systems.the experiment is performed on VCR system to study the effect of silver oxide Nano particle(50nm) in base fluid of ethyl glycol (50:50 ratio with water) with concentration factor 0.02 to 0.06g by volume % on hot side of system (condenser side). For high efficiency out-put, the pla...

Background: Saffron, the dried stigmas of crocus sativus, is the world's most expensive spice which has been used as food additive and flavoring agent. The aim of the present study has been to investigate the combination effects of gamma irradiation and silver nano particles packing on the chemical properties of saffron during storage time. A combination of hurdles can ensure stability a...

A novel technique for silver extraction from Ag2S is described. The method utilizes thiosulphate as complexing reagent and the redox reaction between SO2 added as Na2SO3 powder and H2S gas evolved. The parameters of the reaction such as pH, the reaction temperature, the complex equilibrium of Ag ion with thiosulphate and the solubility of Ag2S were investigated. Silver ions, obtained by this me...

The two silver vanadium oxide phases— Ag2V4O11 and Ag4V2O6F2—were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The electrical conductivity of both silver vanadate powders was determined by the powder-solutioncomposite (PSC) method. The conductivities obtained were 0.0085±0.0005 and 0.0005±0.00015 S/cm for the Ag2V4O11 and Ag4V2O6F2, respectively, the first such report for the Ag4V2O6F2 phase. The optica...
