Bioelectronics has attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in various disciplines, such as biomedical. Development of efficient bio-nano hybrid materials is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. A novel nano-bio hybrid electrode based on ZnO–protein for bioelectronics applications was prepared and characterized. The electrode was made by coval...

Self-assembling biomolecules provide attractive templates for the preparation of metallic nanostructures. However, the intuitive transfer of the "outer shape" of the assembled macromolecules to the final metallic particle depends on the intermolecular forces among the biomolecules which compete with interactions between template molecules and the metal during metallization. The shape of the bio...

Toxicity due to the presence of heavy metals in ground and surface water release effluents from industries holds potency cause temporary or permanent damage living organisms near vicinity these industries. This paper aims assess vulnerability groundwater resources owing its contamination Banthar Industrial Area. Using DRASTIC model combination with quantum geographic information system (QGIS), ...

The present work represents potential bio-sorbents: Tilia cordata (little leaf linden) and Foeniculum vulgare (fennel). copper removal was operated in batch procedure. Adsorbent mass, ion concentration, pH, time, temperature considerations were inspected. highly beneficial provisions for adsorption are 10 mg /L as preliminary 0.2 g mass pH 5.5 5.23 vulgare. Adsorption statistics follow the Lang...

Several samples of activated carbon were prepared by physical (CO₂) and chemical (H₃PO₄) activation of aspen wood and tested for the adsorption of organic compounds from water generated during the recovery of bitumen using steam assisted gravity drainage. Total organic carbon removal by the carbon samples increased proportionally with total pore volume as determined from N₂ adsorption isotherms...

Luminescent quantum dots (QDs) with unique optical properties have potential applications in bio-imaging. The interaction between QDs and bio-molecules is important to the biological effect of QDs in vivo. In this paper, we have employed fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to probe the temperature- and pH-dependent interactions between CdSe QDs with carboxyl (QDs-COOH) and bovine serum ...

In this work, locally available tea wastes were used as precursors for the development of cost-effective bio-sorbent materials heavy metal removal from wastewater. Chemical and thermal treatments to prepare magnetic/non-magnetic waste-based adsorbents discussed correlated their properties with corresponding Cr(VI) adsorption capacity. These bio-sorbents thoroughly characterized by FT-IR, PXRD, ...

Microfabricated systems provide an excellent platform for the culture of cells, and are an extremely useful tool for the investigation of cellular responses to various stimuli. Advantages offered over traditional methods include cost-effectiveness, controllability, low volume, high resolution, and sensitivity. Both biocompatible and bio-incompatible materials have been developed for use in thes...

For many applications, increasing synergy between distinct proteins through organization is important for the specificity, regulation, and overall reaction efficiency. Although there are many examples of protein complexes in nature, a generalized method to create these complexes remains elusive. Many conventional techniques such as random chemical conjugation, physical adsorption onto surfaces,...

The inhibitive action of alkali extract human hair extract (Bio waste) against the corrosion of mild steel (98.58%) in solutions of nitric acid has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At inhibitor concentration range (0.004 % v/ v to 0.1% v/v) in 0.3 M HNO3acid, the results showed that these compounds suppressed both cathodic and ano...
