Synthesis of Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Carbon Supported AgO Nanocomposite, Characterizations and Photocatalytic Activity Studies
Abstract: Synthesis of Carbon supported AgO nanocomposite is reported for first time. Henna carbon was successfully synthesized from henna leaf. Bare AgO and C-AgO nanocomposites are effectively made using precipitation method. The synthesised composites structural, morphological, and optical properties are assessed using FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, UV-DRS, and PL techniques. FT-IR analysis proved that specific functional groups of synthesized materials. The uniform distribution of the composites is revealed in the FE-SEM. XRD …

The Architecture of Creek Road Market and the Image of Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Marketplaces are seen as centers of attraction in every city. Therefore, the architecture of marketplaces should be given extensive attention to attract a positive image of the city. If the architecture of a market lacks functionality, it will affect the perception of the city.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Investigations of Isomeric Pr(III) Juglonates
Abstract: Hydroxy napthoquinone derivatives constitute an interesting group of ligands which is recognized as ‘Juglones’. Isomeric Lawsone-Juglone and Phthiocol-Plumbagin are the most important members of the Juglone series and are biologically active, having natural origin. They form isomeric pairs of ligands resulting into isomeric pairs of metal chelates. The isomerism is occurring due to formation of either five or six membered rings in the metal chelates. In the present work Prasodymium …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Unio in Carbonic Acid Medium
Abstract: Unio is a calciferous animal, and its outer surface is made of calcium carbonate. It usually happens in sources of sweet water. They create carbonic acid by absorbing carbon dioxide. It changes the pH of sweet water sources thus water becomes acidic. It develops corrosive environment for Unio. Carbonic acid interacts with Unio to form corrosion cells on the interface of Unio. This acid oxidizes calcium carbonate into calcium ions …
