Introduction Jute Mallow (Corchorus olitorius) is a popular leafy vegetable that is cultivated in the dry, semi-arid and humid regions of Africa primarily for its nutritional value1. It is a rich source of iron [and therefore recommended for pregnant women and nursing mother2, protein, calcium, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, and …
Introduction The modern form of the Solar cell was invented in 1954 at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Today there are wide range of PV cell technologies in the market which are classified into three generations, depending on the basic material (photo sensitive material) used and the level of commercial maturity. First-generation …
Introduction Because of their extraordinary properties, single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) can be considered as attractive candidates in diverse nanotechnological applications, such as molecular devices, molecular tanks, (bio) sensors, drug delivery, and many others [1-12]. It has been demonstrated that SWNTs can interact with different classes of compounds, and the formation of …
Introduction Development refers to meeting the needs of present generation without compromising the ability of the future to fulfill their own needs. Green chemistry focus on the development of materials and processes which has minimal negative effect on nature. Green chemistry is an interdisciplinary field incorporating chemistry, chemical engineering and …
Introduction Valacyclovir hydrochloride is L -valine, 2-[(2-amino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-9H -purin-9-yl)methoxy] ethyl ester, monohydrochloride [1]. It is an antiviral agent, which is used in the treatment of herpes zoster and herpes simplex virus [1]. Literature review shows minimal methods has been developed and reported for Valacyclovir estimation in biological fluids and there are …
Introduction The indiscriminate dumping of degradable or non-degradable wastes into urban stream stretches and rivers has been considered one of the major causes of the unprecedented mush-rooming of heavy metals and their speciation and the results are effect on ecosystems and human health risk implications globally. Sediments are considered to …
Introduction Nanotechnology incorporates methods of obtaining of materials with both nanometer structure sizes and nanometer- size objects. The transition to a nanodimensional state in which the characteristic geometrical sizes of structure of a substance are proportionate with the certain characteristic scale of some physical phenomenon, causes marked changes in the …
Introduction One of such potentially active heterocyclic moiety is triazine moiety.1-2 During last few years the potential of s-triazine derivatives have found extensive applications in molecular recognition, agrochemical, pharmaceutical, textile, plastic, rubber industries and also used as pesticides, dyestuffs, optical bleaches, explosives, surface active agents and medicinal properties has been …
Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of diverse organic compounds containing two or more fused aromatic rings of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are a class of priority pollutants, ubiquitous in the aquatic ecosystems, which show lipophilic character resistance to biodegradation and adverse health effects (carcinogenic activities) depending …
