Background: Water is polluted daily with biological and chemical toxins that can seriously threaten human health, animals and ecosystems. The regular identification and monitoring of biological and chemical toxins in water resources are the first steps of the preventive method. The devices used in traditional detection methods such as adsorption and chromatography combined with mass spectrometry are not easy to transp Read More

Availing diseases as warfare began before humans learned that microorganisms are involved in the dissemination of infections. In the past, war brigades had the intention to weaken rival groups by using festering corpses with the premeditated purpose of causing disease. Nowadays, the unfortunate improvement of biowarfare is indubitably linked to our extensive collaborative work in exploring the use of microorganisms Read More

Background: Hydrazine is a well-known hepatotoxic, mutagen, and carcinogen. It adversely affects not only the liver, DNA, and kidney but the central nervous system also. As per the record of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States, the optimum concentration of it has been permitted in sewage and industrial and agricultural effluents is 0.1 ppm. Therefore, monitoring hydrazine concentration is esse Read More

Background: Nanomaterials derived from sustainable and biodegradable polymers are currently the most attractive materials. Polymeric nano-biocomposites (PNBCs) are a specific class of materials derived by combining nanosized fillers with polymer materials, and the most commonly used nano-fillers are hydroxyapatite, organic or inorganic metal nanoparticles, clays, etc. Methods: Many recent research works have fo Read More

Background: In this study, Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized by the CVD method at 950°C. CNT and metal ZnO nanocomposites synthesized by ball mill procedure were examined. Stability of nanocomposite was attained by cationic Ion Liquid (IL), 1-tetradecyl-3 methylimidazolium chloride, structural morphology material characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field Emis Read More

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has found a wide range of applications because of its high separation efficiency, low expense, short analysis time and minimal sample volume requirement. The tobacco quality depends on the nature and quantity of numerous substances. CE has been applied in the constituent analysis of tobacco and tobacco products for quality control and research. Methods: The advances in the Read More
