PREFERENTIAL CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ORIENTATION AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES IN (AG,ZN)-BASED OXIDE NANOPARTICLE THIN FILM DEPENDING ON SPARK VOLTAGE

Preferential Crystallographic Orientation and Optical Properties in (Ag,Zn)-Based Oxide Nanoparticle Thin Film Depending on Spark Voltage

The effect of spark voltage on nanoparticle (NP) formation, crystal structure, and optical properties of Zn and Ag-containing metal oxides produced using the spark-discharge (SD) technique was investigated.Quasispherical-shaped nanocrystals were observed in ZnO, Ag:ZnO, and AgO NP samples prepared at different spark voltages.The NP sizes in ZnO and

The molecular mechanism of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and its link to in vitro studies on iodinated contrast media (CM)

Iodinated contrast media (iodinated CM) have increased ability to absorb x-rays and to visualize structures that normally are impossible to observe in a radiological examination.The use of iodinated CM may destory renal function, commonly known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which can result in acute renal failure (ARF).This review article

Structures and Practices of Cross-Sector Engagement in Counter-Human Trafficking Coalitions in the Global South

Human trafficking is a violation of human rights that takes many forms (U.S.Department of State, 2017).Participation in same-sector and multisector coalitions and collaborative counter-trafficking efforts are being actively encouraged by the aid industry globally.Working in partnership with other organizations within and across sectors is increasin
