ZnO Nanostructure Shape Effects in Photocatalysis of Methylene Blue
Abstract: Nowadays, dyes are used in the food industry, textile industry, paper industry, hair coloring, light-harvesting arrays, photoelectrochemical cells, etc. Most of the dyes are nonbiodegradable, toxic, carcinogenic, and consist of organic compounds. These dye wastages are discharged into water bodies and the environment causing serious hazards to the marine ecosystem as well as the humans extensively. To treat toxic dyes traditional methods such as adsorption, activated carbon, ultrafiltration, and reverse …

Variation in Activity of Lipase Immobilized on Chitosan and Alginate Nanoparticles by Changing Concentration of the Preparatory Reagents
Abstract: Chitosan and alginate nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method. The concentrations of each of the preparatory reagents (for chitosan: acetic acid, chitosan, sodium sulphate, glutaraldehyde and for alginate: calcium chloride, alginate, glutaraldehyde) were altered to check their consequences. Lipase was chemically crosslinked to these nanoparticles. Enzymatic assay was carried out for every alteration separately. To visualize the changes in each reagent at every step a precise table is incorporated …

Significance of TE Domain and Genetic Variations in FASN Gene in Dairy Animals
Abstract: The interest in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has increased during the last few years. FASN is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acid, and alteration of this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition. FASN is involved in fat metabolism and is an important candidate gene affecting fat composition of milk because of its central role in de-novo lipogenesis …

Growth Inhibitory Effects of Centella asiatica Extracts on Escherichia coli
Abstract: Plant secondary metabolites have been known for their varying degrees of antimicrobial activity. These form important constituent of traditional medicine. The present study aims to analyze the antibacterial effects of the Centella asiatica extracts by looking into the growth inhibitory effects of organic and aqueous extracts of the leaves on Escherichia coli bacterium and to identify the secondary metabolites present in the extract by phytochemical analysis. The leaf extracts of …

Multiple Sclerosis: A Brief Overview of the Disease, Its Pharmacotherapy
Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder mostly affecting individuals aged between 20-40. In this disorder, the optic, vertebral, and central nervous system nerves are primarily impacted. It is a neurological condition that worsens over time and is characterized by inflammation and the breakdown of the sheath that surrounds and shields the nerve fiber. Common symptoms may include muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, fatigue, vertigo, tremor, vision complications, pain, Lhermitte sign, sexual …

Exploring the Effect of Modified Nanosilica on a Model LDPE–EVA-based TPE System
Abstract: The effect of modified nanosilica particles on a model low-density polyethylene (LDPE)–ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend system is explored in this article. Modified nanosilica particles were melt-blended with the LDPE-EVA system at 1.5, 3, and 5 wt% loadings through the variation of the sequence of addition. The blends were compression molded, and their morphological, rheological, mechanical and thermal properties were evaluated. The properties of the …

Formulation and Evaluation of Transungual Drug Delivery of Fluconazole Using Permeation Enhancers Screened by Hydration of Nail Plate
Abstract: The objective of the work was to formulate nail lacquer containing fluconazole an antifungual drug for the treatment of onychomycosis. Onychomycosis, a common fungal nail infection affects the people. Topical and ungual therapy is limited because of the poor permeation of the drug through nail plate. Film base was prepared using varying concentration of cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose as polymers. The permeation enhancers were screened by nail plate hydration. …

Nanocomposites Based on LDPE–EVA Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE): Effect of Laponite Clay
Abstract: The effect of pristine and modified laponite RD and RDS on a model low-density polyethylene (LDPE)—ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend system is explored in this article. The nanoclay particles are melt-blended with the LDPE–EVA system at 1.5 wt% loading. Both laponite RD and RDS are modified by ion exchange method utilizing dodecyl ammonium ion to improve the interaction of clay particles with polymer matrix. The blends …

Case Study on Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, Cervical Spondylitis with Bilateral Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and Psychosis under Evaluation
Abstract: A 55-year-old female patient was admitted in the general medicine female ward with the chief complaints of giddiness for three days, headache for three–four days (increases during exposure to light, sound and stress). She also complaints about nausea, vomiting on and off, giddiness on lying down and bending down, neck stiffness and pain in the both upper limbs for 5 years. Based on the subjective data’s obtained the prognosis was …

Viscoelastic Behavior, Interfacial Mechanics, and Reliability of Polymer Interlayers in Laminated Glass Composites: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The laminated glass systems are regarded as hybrid polymer–glass composites where the viscoelastic behavior of polymer interlayers mostly controls mechanical response. These interlayers (polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ionoplast, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), etc.) have time-, temperature- and rate-dependent properties which significantly affect shear transfer, energy dissipation, and fracture resistance. But the baseline polymer-relevant processes at the molecular and interfacial level are to a large extent unknown [1]. This review provides a materials-focused …
