The electrical, quantum, thermodynamic properties, natural bond orbital (NBO), reduced density gradient (RDG), atom in molecule (AIM), and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) for all studied models were calculated and analyzed. The results revealed that the thermodynamic parameters (∆H and ∆G) values for all studied models were negative and favorable in thermodynamic point of view. By doping the Ga atom and adsorbing Acr molecule, the HOMO, LUMO, gap energy, conductivity, and optical properties of the nanotube altered slightly from the original values. Whereas, the global hardness and chemical potential of the Ga-doped increased slightly from pristine state and the activity of system decreased slightly from the original state. In addition, the AIM parameters and RDG results showed that the covalent bonding interaction between Acr and BPNTs was so strong. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_85846_acd85ff4bce9a719e66fcd1d0f320164.pdf Acrolein BPNTs Ga doped DFT MEP eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2019-10-01 2 4 413 420 10.26655/AJNANOMAT.2019.4.4 85847 مقاله پژوهشی Highly effectual synthesis of 4H-pyrano [2, 3-c] pyrazoles using N1, N1, N2, N2-tetramethyl-N1, N2-bis (sulfo) ethane-1, 2-diaminium trifluoroacetate as a dual-functional catalyst Mostafa Karami [email protected] 1 Maryam Maghsoudi 2 Maria Merajoddin [email protected] 3 Abdolkarim Zare [email protected] 4 Department of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, Iran Department of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, Iran Department of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, Iran Department of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, Iran In this research study, highly effective preparation of 4H-pyrano[2, 3-c]pyrazoles was discussed.

In this research study, the soil with staphylococcus has been exposed to pure TiO2 and TiO2/CNT. Also, the community of the staphylococcus was studied using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been observed that, the microbial community has decreased tremendously after the titanium oxide was doped with CNT. This study suggests that, the TiO2/CNTs can be a much more effective potential material for altering the microbial community compared with the TiO2. These findings could be useful for creating antibacterial agents for the soil using TiO2/CNTs nano hubrid .Further investigation of the TiO2/CNTs mechanism could prove useful for industrial uses or altering microbial communities. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_86077_f488a4f804d7d81b952784713ac4c3fe.pdf TiO2 TiO2/CNTs microbial community effect of CNT Staphylococcus eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2019-10-01 2 4 425 430 10.26655/AJNANOMAT.2019.4.6 88468 مقاله پژوهشی Antibacterial activity of magnesium oxide nanostructures prepared by hydrothermal method Shah Rukh [email protected] 1 Ashaq Hussain Sofi [email protected] 2 Mohammad Ashraf Shah [email protected] 3 Shayista Yousuf [email protected] 4 Special Centre for Nanoscience, Department of Physics, NIT Srinagar, J&K, India-190006 Special Centre for Nanoscience, Department of Physics, NIT Srinagar, J&K, India-190006 Special Centre for Nanoscience, Department of Physics, NIT Srinagar, J&K, India-190006 SSM College of Engineering and Technology, Baramulla, J&K, India-193121 In this research study, the magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using an inexpensive and simple hydrothermal method. A pure magnesium metal powder, de-ionized water, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was utilized as the starting materials. The synthesized MgO was dense, uniformly distributed with a relatively spherical shape, without any cracks and voids as confirmed by the scaning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The structure was crystalline with a high purity. No other peak corresponding to any other material or metal could be ascertained from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The crystallite size of the prepared samples was found to be nearly 18 nm which was favorable for antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of MgO nanostructures was carried out by using disc diffusion method.

Four different alcohols (ethanol, isopropyl, isobutyl, and isobentyl alcohol) were investigated. The experiments were carried out to compare the products of the reactions with different precursors. The gelatine products were calcined at 400 °C and at 1000 °C in a box furnace and the effect of calcination temperature on the feature of nano-particles was studied. The synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that the average particle size was 8.9-18.4 nm. The antibacterial result of titanium dioxide nanoparticles at four types of bacteria was two gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus sp.) and two gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp.). Also, nanoparticles titanium dioxide did not have any effect on these types of bacteria.
