Graphite was exfoliated to graphene by tip sonic using sodium cholate as a surfactant in the presence of Millipore water as a medium. The use of water as a solvent for exfoliation purposes is very important due to its en...

Abstract A fiber laser was used to perform multiple laser cladding passes on AISI 1045 steel to fabricate SiC particle-reinforced Ni60A alloy coatings. The microstructure and phase composition of the cladding layers were...

Abstract Microstructure and mechanical properties of GN9 Ferritic/Martensitic steel for sodium- cooled fast reactors have been investigated through orthogonal design and analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tran...

Abstract Background Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play an essential role in the prompt diagnosis of malaria in settings where using microscopy is not feasible. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of N...

In this study, novel titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) hybrid photocatalysts in the form of nanofibres were fabricated by a facile method using electrospinning followed by a calcination process. Scanning elect...

Abstract Background Recent reports documented catastrophic sensitivity failures (18%) of Abbott-Bioline™ Malaria Ag Pf/Pv rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) at the Thailand-Myanmar border, prompting WHO to issue an informat...

This study aims to compare the concentration of viable fungi, especially those of the genus Aspergillus in the respiratory tract of stabled horses with and without Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO). Thirty two housed ho...

Abstract Non-human primates are potential hosts for helminths of various phyla, and the presence of these parasites can cause changes in organ morphology and functionality. In this study, we present the alterations induc...

Many argasid tick species are known only through their larval descriptions, in which the chaetotaxy, together with other external morphological characteristics, has been used to separate genera and species. However, the ...

In this investigation, differently shaped and surface functionalized TiO2 anatase nanoparticles and human serum albumin (HSA) were selected to study protein- nanoparticles interaction both in a solution and on flat surfa...

The paper presents a simple one-step "green" approach to the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles. The magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using fruit extract obtained from grape peels and grape pulp. The formation ...

Abstract The oligochaete Dero lutzi follows a life strategy that alternates between free-living periods in aquatic environments and endoparasitic phases. Most occurrences of D. lutzi in anurans are reported in species wi...

الملخص: أهداف البحث: هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم الخصائص السطحية للغرسات المصنَّعة من بولي ميثيل ميثاكريلات وهيدروكسي أب...

Abstract Background Placental malaria remains a significant contributor to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in malaria endemic settings globally. This study investigated the prevalence of placental malaria and asso...

Bacterial biofilm are complex microbial communities covered by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which develops when a community of microorganisms irreversibly adheres to a living or inert surface. This str...

Abstract Growing environmental problems and the threat of an energy crisis have created an urgent need for affordable and efficient photocatalysts that can work under UV light to remove pollutants. In this work, Zinc fer...

We have reported the effect of Co and Ni doping on structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by RF reactive sputtering technique. The composite targets were formed by mixing and pressing of ZnO, Mn3O4,...

This study investigates the properties of a composite material obtained by mixing Fe78Si9B13 metallic powders (at %) with graphene nanoplates (GNP) in an epoxy matrix. Four composite types were created with GNP weight pr...

Abstract This study is concerned with the surface integrity of Inconel 738LC parts manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) followed by high-speed milling (HSM). In the investigation process of surface integrity, th...

We have synthesized large scale, thin, transparent graphene oxide (GO) flakes by Hummer’s method and investigated their suitability for fabrication of transparent nanocomposites. The GO flakes were comprehensively char...

Gold nanoparticles have many applications in the biomedical field, mainly for drug delivery, cancer therapy, and detection of pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, gold nanoparticles synthesized using Platycodon gran...

Abstract Background Adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as an important component of the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer (CRC) and actively contributes to the progression of the disease. Adipose stem ce...

Nano- and micro-oxides are promising materials due to several interesting characteristics such as photocatalytic and antimicrobial role. In this work, zinc oxide nanorods were obtained by microwave-assisted solvothermal ...
