A biosensor can sense biological elements after interaction with the recognition element. The signal produced due to interaction of the analyte with its biochemical element is transduced by a transducer and detected by appropriate modes. The miniaturization of these biosensors at the nano level using nanostructures as a platform for sensing the analyte or its […]
The review article summarizes the applications of silver nanoparticles for diverse sectors. Over the decades, nanoparticles used as dignified metals such as silver exhibited distinctive characteristics basically correlated to chemical, physical and biological property of counterparts having bulkiness. Numerous studies reported that Nanoparticles of about 100nm diameter play a crucial role in widely spread industries […]
Characterization and the antibacterial potential of gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticle (SNPs) biosynthesized greenly using exopolysaccharides (EPS) and Culture Free Supernatant (CFS) of Wesiella confusa against some multidrug resistance (MDR) E. coli was investigated. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectra, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The formation of AuNPs and […]
Thickness stretching effect based on shear and normal deformation theory is used in this paper for magneto-electro-elastic vibration analysis of a three-layered curved nanobeam including a nano core and two piezo-magnetic layers. Size-dependency is included in derivation of governing equations of motion based Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The initial curvature is accounted in calculation of […]
In this study, the reaction of 3-Picrylamino-1, 2, 4-Triazole (PATO) with B12N12 was investigated by density functional theory in the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. There were two possible isomers for reaction of PATO with B12N12 via carbon and nitrogen atoms of triazole ring to the Born atom of B12N12 (I and II-isomers). Thermodynamic parameters of […]
In this paper, a novel catalyst (MgAl2O4@SiO2-PTA) was proposed for the green oxidation of aliphatic alcohols. The resultant composite was characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, FT-IR, EDX and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The prepared nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for oxidation of aliphatic alcohols with hydrogen peroxide in […]
The main objective of this paper was to manipulate the Nano Fibrous Scaffold “NFS” surface roughness to achieve a new transdermal drug release profile. To assess the intrinsic mechanical properties of Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam, such as its proper resiliency, it was considered as the matrix. Cetirizine was used as a drug model and was […]
Spinel MgAl2O4 nanopowders were synthesized by one-step solid state reactions using Al(NO3)3.9H2O and MgSO4 raw materials at stoichiometric 1 : 2, Mg : Al molar ratio at a constant reaction temperature of 1000 ºC for 8 h (S1), 10 h (S2) and 24 h (S3). The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) […]
In this research, geometrical structures of armchair single walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) and armchair single walled aluminum nitride nanotube (SWAlNNT) were optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the gas phase, both having the same length of 5 angstrom and n=9, m=9. B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory have been used to determine and compare electronic […]
In this article a low power and low latency 4-2 compressor has been presented. By using modified truth table and Pass Transistor Logic (PTL) a novel structure has been proposed which outperforms previous designs from the frequency of operation view point. The proposed design method has reduced the total transistor count considerably which will lead […]
