Nanoparticles are extensively used as efficient drug carriers in various biological studies. PEGylated barium manganate powder consisting of nanoparticles was synthesized using a hydrothermal technique. The nanoparticle ...

The use of rock mass rating (RMR) and tunneling quality index (Q) systems in drill and blast tunneling for support design is necessary in the current practice worldwide as these systems are developed empirically for this ...

Primordial radionuclides in building materials are one of the sources of radiation hazard in dwellings made of those materials. Activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides 40K, 226Ra and 232Th have been measured ...

Preserving books and documents have become ahectic problem for today‟s world. Most of the documents and books were discarded due to insufficient physical storage and lots of maintenance. To overcome this problem, digitization ...

Limestone, a sedimentary rock-forming mineral is a source of lime and is important industrially as it usually contains  +95% calcium carbonate and  <5% impurities. The presence of these impurities can cause problems while ...

Optical emission spectroscopic measurement of trace rare gas is carried out to determine the density of nitrogen (N) atom, in a nitrogen plasma, as a function of filling pressure and RF power applied. 2% of argon, used as ...

In order to achieve high conductivity and transmittance of transparent conducting oxide (TCO), we attempted to fabricate Mg doped SnO2 (MgxSn1-xO2) thin films and characterized them for their ...

Four series nanocrystalline ferrites with nominal composition, NiZr x Co x Fe2−2x O4 (x  =  0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) Ni0.5Sn0.5Co x Mn x Fe2−2x O4 (x  =  0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8), Mg1−x Ca x Ni y Fe2−y O4 (x  =  0.0, 0.2, ...

Studies concerning measurements of indoor radon levels were carried out in 60 schools in the Rawalpindi region of Pakistan. In each school, six CR-39 based NRPB type radon detectors were installed and exposed to the indoor ...

Specific activity of primordial radionuclides and associated radiation hazards due to 40K, 226Ra, and 232Th have been measured in backed red brick samples, collected from five highly populated areas of the North West ...
