High-quality single crystalline zinc oxide nanowires were grown on silver and gold coated plastic substrates for the fabrication of a sandwich-like nanogenerator using the aqueous chemical growth method. The applicabilit...

Vertically-aligned carbon nanofibres (VACNFs) have been synthesized in a mixture of acetone and air using catalytic DC plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition. Typically, ammonia or hydrogen is used as an etchant gas ...

In this study we have investigated the suitability of a number of different mesoporous silica nanoparticle structures for carrying a drug cargo. We have fully characterized the nanoparticles in terms of their physical pa...

The influence of sol-gel dip-coating and anodic oxidation process parameters in producing thin TiO2 films is studied. As the size of the films is in the order of nanometres (20-140 nm), to obtain a precise measurement of...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of interventions to deter corporate crime. The review examines the effectiveness of formal legal and administrative strategies to lower the risk of non‐compliance. T...

We have used density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent (TD)-DFT to systematically investigate the dependency of the geometric and vibroelectronic properties of zigzag and armchair-type doublewalled boron nitride...

Early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) is one of the most widely used treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this Campbell systematic review was to examine the research on EIB...

Low-defect graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) derived from the unzipping of carbon nanotubes have exhibited large energy band gaps (transport gaps), despite having widths in the order of ∼100 nm. Here, we report on the unique...

We investigated the effects of dopants on epitaxial growth of Si NWs, with an emphasis on synthesizing vertical epitaxial Si NW arrays on Si (111) substrates. We found that addition of boron with a B:Si feed-in atomic ra...

Decentralized forest management programs reduce deforestation rates, although the effects may be modest. More research is needed to assess whether such programs reduce the income of poor households. Proponents of decentr...

Nanomedicine, as a relatively new offshoot of nanotechnology, has presented vast opportunities in biomedical research for developing novel strategies to treat diseases. In the past decade, there has been a significant in...

In this work, we report on the electroplating of ultrafine and uniform magnesium (Mg) films on copper (Cu) and carbon nanotube (CNT) paper substrates. By controlling the process parameters and utilizing the pulsed deposi...

The formation of a molecular aggregate in a confined, nanodimensioned region of space leads to what might be termed a ‘molecular nanoaggregate’. The present review deals with a theoretical formulation termed ‘aggre...

Nanoparticulate surfaces possessing antimicrobial and fungicidal properties under visible light illumination have found wide applications in a number of fields. In this study, titania nanotubes, as well as titania compac...

A cotton-like ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite was grown by the carbothermal evaporation of a mixture of ZnO and SnO2 powders at 1100oC by the vapour-liquid- solid process, in which the Sn particles produced by the reduction of Sn...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effectiveness of farmer field schools in improving intermediate outcomes (such as knowledge and pesticide use) and final outcomes (such as agricultural yields, incomes and emp...

Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) or Forensic nurse examiners (FNE) are fully qualified nurses, trained to gather forensic evidence in rape and sexual assault cases. This review compares the reliability and efficacy ...

We report the design and methodology for functionalization of the surface of small Co-ferrite nanoparticles with a mean size of up to 5.0 nm through the attachment of vitamin C molecules initiating [AuCl4]- reduction and...

This paper presents the design of a graphene- based electronically tuneable microstrip attenuator operating at a frequency of 5 GHz. The use of graphene as a variable resistor is discussed and the modelling of its electr...

This Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of home visits in preventing impairment, institutionalization, and death in older adults, as well as identifying factors that may moderate effects. The review su...

This article reports on a study on fluorescence adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection by InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). We present a spectroscopic analysis displaying the effect of enzymatic reactions of glucose oxidase (G...

Wet ball milling was used to exfoliate MoS2. The aim of the study was to examine how the surface energy of all the individual materials affected the formation of the nanosheets. Two types of milling balls were selected: ...

In this work, the influence of the cobalt phase on the growth of carbon nanotubes by the catalytic chemical vapour deposition of CH4 with catalysts containing Co, Mo and Mg is investigated. To this end, the catalytic beh...

Near-infrared (NIR) light sources are widely utilized in biological and medical imaging systems owing to their long penetration depth in living tissues. In a recently developed biomedical non-invasive cross-sectional ima...
