The efficacy, safety, speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of producing hemagglutinin-based virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines in plants is well-established for human influenza, but untested for the massive poultry ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an adaptable material that has distinctive properties, such as high-sensitivity, large specific area, non-toxicity, good compatibility and a high isoelectric point, which favours it to be considered ...
Onion-like carbon (OLC) integrated a-MnO2 nanorods (a-MnO2/OLC) composite has been studied as a viable cathode material for potential development of high-performance zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). XRD results revealed the ...
Gold thin metal layers have been seen to be the most important signal amplification components in electrochemical and optical sensor applications. In surface plasmon resonance (SPR) applications, gold thin metal film possess ...
Flat and elongated particle ratio is a shape characteristic for coarse aggregates used in pavements. The ASTM D 4791 is the standard test method to determine flat and elongated coarse aggregate particles in asphalt mixes. ...
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has significantly increased life expectancy and improved management of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) disease globally. This well-established ...
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is a very powerful optical sensing technique that detects bimolecular binding interactions and it has turned out to be a suitable platform for clinical analysis. In biological and chemical ...
Transmission measurement has been perceived as a potential candidate for label-free investigation of biological material. It is a real-time, label-free and non-invasive optical detection technique that has found wide ...
This book explores the status of paper-based diagnostic solutions, or Microfluidics 2.0. The contributors explore: how paper-based tests can be widely distributed and utilized by semi-skilled personnel; how close to ...
A simple and versatile approach has been implemented for the preparation of some manganese oxide (MnxOy)-based lithium-ion battery anode materials from low-cost electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD). Depending on the additive, ...
Lack of access to quality diagnostics remains a major contributor to health burden in resource-limited settings. It has been more than 10 years since ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid, ...
Gel-combustion by a bio-fuel, processed starch of the root tuber of cassava (Manihot esculenta), was used to prepare vanadium pentoxide nanowire clusters (V2O5NWC). The as-synthesized product was characterized by X-ray ...

The disposable electrochemical sensors were designed and fabricated onto a photo paper substrate in-house. We report a first case use of g-C3N4, which is an emerging material as the most stable carbon-like polymer, explored ...
The influence of hematite iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles in tungsten oxide (WO3) nanorods photocatalyst on photodegradation of organic pollutant was investigated in the present work. The spherical-shaped α-Fe2O3 ...
Recently, a wide variety of research works have focused on carbon nanotube (CNT) - ceramic matrix nanocomposites. In many cases, these novel materials are produced through conventional powder metallurgy methods including ...
