ACETYLATION OF BENZYLIC ALCOHOLS OVER BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), AND Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) NANO POWDERS -EFFECT OF Eu(III), Sm(III) AND Cd(II) DOPING
BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), and Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) nanopowders were prepared by the sol-gel
combustion method and the catalytic performances were evaluated in acetylation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The physical chemical
properties of catalysts were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, scanning electron microscope (SEM), EDX and BET surface.
Efficient acetylation of benzyl alcohol was carried out over all the nano powders using acetyl chloride/ acetonitrile at room
temperature. Among the nanopowders, BSCFO showed the highest catalytic performance and the yield of benzyl acetate was 89,
45, and 69 percent over BSCFO, BFO, and BSEFO, respectively. Partial substitution of Sm-Eu and Sm-Cd in bismuth ferrite
improved the catalytic performance and increased the specific surface area of the catalysts. A direct relationship was resulted
between catalytic performance and surface of catalysts, where BSCFO with the highest surface area (111m2/g) exhibited the
superior catalytic performance. The quantitative yield for acetate product was also resulted for acetylation of p-methyl benzyl
alcohol, p-nitro benzyl alcohol and p-chloro benzyl alcohol on BSCFO. The catalysts showed good reusability in the process. The
study confirmed the catalysts could be promising catalyst for acetylation of alcohols.

Computationally Driven Characterization of Magnetism, Adsorption, and Reactiv...Joshua Borycz
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of nanoporous materials that are com- posed of metal-containing nodes connected by organic linkers. The study of MOFs has grown in importance due to the wide range of possible node and linker combinations, which allow tailoring towards specific applications. This work demonstrates that the- ory can complement experiment in a way that advances the chemical understanding of MOFs. This thesis contains the results of several investigations on three different areas of MOF research: 1) magnetism, 2) CO2 adsorption, and 3) catalysis.
Since the Nobel prize for Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”, the eyes of the scientific world have been focused on this so-called miracle material.

The recognition of the biologically and environmentally important ions is of great interest in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. The fluorescent sensors as a powerful optical analytical technique for the detection of low level of various analytes such as anions and metal cations have been progressively developed due to the simplicity, cost effective, and selectivity for monitoring specific analytes in various systems. Organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials have important advantages as solid chemosensors and various innovative hybrid materials modified by fluorescence molecules were recently prepared. On the other hand, the homogeneous porosity and large surface area of mesoporous silica make it a promising inorganic support. SBA-15 as a two-dimensional hexagonal mesoporous silica material with stable structure, thick walls, tunable pore size, and high specific surface area is a valuable substrate for modification with different organic chelating groups. This review highlights the fluorescent chemosensors for ionic species based on modification of the mesoporous silica SBA-15 with different organic molecules, which have been recently developed from our laboratory.

Perovskites-based Solar Cells: The challenge of material choice for p-i-n per...Akinola Oyedele
Perovskite-based PV have triggered widespread interest in the scientific community because these materials offer the attractive combinations of low cost and theoretically high efficiency. However, several challenges must be overcome for these relatively new PV materials. Among the many important challenges, one is the choice of materials to be used in thin film PV devices..
Based on fundamental principles of solar photovoltaics, this problem focuses on two aspects of the perovskite system:
1) Based on a planar p-i-n device structure, a potential list of p- and n-type charge collecting layers as well as the conductive contacts that could be used with a promising perovskite absorber material was identified, and a proper justification for the selection of each material in the device was given.
2) Three theoretical p-i-n type solar cells were made with the chosen materials and appropriate conductive contacts.
Use of conventional sources of energy to generate electricity is
increasing rapidly due to growing energy demands. This is a
major cause of pollution as well and also is an environmental
concern for future. Considering this, there is lot of R&D going on in the field of alternate energy sources with recent advancements in technology. One of the most recent advancement is the perovskite solar technology in the photovoltaics industry. The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has been improved from 9.7 to 20.1% within 4 years which is the fastest advancement ever in the photovoltaic industry. Such a high photovoltaic performance can be attributed to optically high absorption characteristics of the hybrid lead perovskite materials. In this review, different perovskite materials are breifly discussed along with the fundamental details of the hybrid lead halide perovskite materials. The fabrication techniques, stability, device structure and the chemistry of the perovskite structure are also briefly described aiming for a better understanding of these materials and thus highly efficient perovskite solar cell devices. The main focus of this resarch is to understand possible methods to reduce toxicity due to lead and to improve Perovskite stability.
This presentation summarizes history and recent development of perovskite solar cells. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at agassifeng@gmail.com

Development of Ni-doped Yttria stabilized Zirconia composite for SOFC applica...IOSRJAP
Ni-doped Yttria stabilized Zirconia (NiO/YSZ) has been synthesized using low cost combustion process from an aqueous solution containing ZrO(NO3)2.6H2O, Y(NO3)3.6H2O, Ni(NO3)2.6H2O and urea. Pellets were sintered at 13500C for 5 hours and its sintered density is estimated to be of 95%. Sintered pellets were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) & X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. From the XRD analysis, as grown powder of NiO/YSZ showed nano-crystalline behavior with homogeneous mixture of YSZ and NiO phases. However sintered powder showed µ-size dense grain growth. Temperature and frequency dependent dielectric properties are corroborated with the conduction mechanism. Both dielectric constant (K) and loss (tan δ) are increased sharply at high temperature region, which is expected to be the onset of dipolar relaxation phenomena due to the presence of oxygen vacancies. A mixed conductivity involving ionic conduction in the high temperature range and electronic conduction in the low temperature range was observed. The decrease in K and tan δ with increase in frequency at a given temperature suggests the dynamic interaction of oxygen vacancies & oxide ion pairs.

The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method was used to effectively prepare green phosphors BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu 2+ (or BSON:Eu 2+ ) via one homogeneous sphere-like morphology utilizing NaNO3 in the form of the reacting agent. The phosphors produced one wide stimulation spectrum between 250 and 460 nm, as well as a significant green emission has a maximum point at 510 nm owing to the 4f 6 1 5d 7 -4f 8 ( S7/2) shifts for Eu 2+ ions. With illumination under 365 as well as 450 nm, the ideal discharge strengths for the specimen prepared utilizing melted salt would receive a boost of 17% and 13%, surpassing the specimen prepared utilizing the traditional solid-state reaction (SSR) approach. The abatement of concentration for the ions of Eu 2+ from BSON:Eu 2+ is 5 mol%. In addition, the interactivity of dipole-dipole would be the cause of said abatement. Heat abatement would be studied utilizing the formation coordinate method with abatement temperature reaching ∼200 C. Elemental mapping as well as power-dispersing X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra demonstrated that the expected BaAl1.4Si0.6O3.4N0.6:Eu 2+ materials were formed.
Synthesis, Characterization and Magnetic properties of Nanoparticles of Cobal...AI Publications
Ferrites are ceramic like material having magnetic properties which are being utilized for several applications. Cobalt ferrites are hard magnetic material with high coercivity. In our study Crystalline, Magnetic nanoparticles of Cobalt ferrite Co0.8Fe2.2O4 were synthesized by Sol Gel Method using ferric chloride and cobalt nitrate with NaOH as a reactant. Structural characteristics of samples were determined by X-Ray diffraction, FESEM and TEM. Particle size found 14.26nm by using Debye Scherrer method. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies revealed nano-crystalline nature of the sample. AFM showed surface roughness. Magnetic properties were investigated using VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer). Various magnetic parameters such as saturation magnetization (Ms) and remanence (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) are obtained from the hysteresis loops. The calculated value of saturation magnetization in our study for Cobalt ferrite was found lower than the value reported for the bulk. The coercivity was found very high which indicate that the nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior.
Preparation, characterization and application of sonochemically doped fe3+ in...eSAT Journals
Abstract In this present study, mechanistic investigation of ultrasound–assisted dye decolorization/degradation was investigated using sonochemically prepared Fe3+ doped ZnO. Fe3+ doped ZnO nanoparticle was prepared under ultrasound (20 kHz) irradiation using a doping concentration of 2 wt% of Fe(III). To investigate the catalytic activity of Fe3+ doped ZnO, Acid Red 14 (azo dye) was chosen for decolorization/degradation using sonolysis, photocatalysis and sono–photocatalysis processes. To study the influence of dopant onto structure, crystallinity, and optical properties, different analytical analyses were performed such as X–ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Zeta potential, Delsa Nano Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer analysis (VSM) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE–SEM) etc. For photocatalytic experiments, a blended high pressure mercury UV lamp with maximum peak emission at 365 nm was used. The decolorization/degradation of dye with modified photocatalyst showed faster reaction kinetics under sono–photocatalytic process. Ultrasound showed an additive effect for degradation/decolorization process. The maximum decolorization of AR14 was achieved (~ 82%) under sono–photocatlytic process with an initial dye concentration of 20 ppm. The sono–photocatalysis process showed 1.4 – 1.6 higher reaction rates with Fe–doped ZnO than pure ZnO.

Study of the Influence of Nickel Content and Reaction Temperature on Glycerol...IJRESJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: La2O3-SiO2-supported nickel catalysts were evaluated in glycerol steam reforming. The samples (30wt% La and 5, 10 and 15wt% of Ni on 70wt% commercial SiO2), prepared by the simultaneous impregnation method, were characterized by EDX, nitrogen physisorption, XRD, in-situ XRD, XANES and TPR. The analyses revealed NiO species weakly interact with the support and the different metallic surface areas of the catalysts. Catalytic tests were performed in a fixed bed reactor at 600oC and 15Ni catalyst, which showed the best performance, was also evaluated at 500oC and 700oC. According to the results, the Ni content on the catalyst surface interferes in the distribution of gaseous products H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. The increase in the Ni content increases the carbon formation during reaction. The reaction temperature affected the catalytic performance and the best results were obtained with the 15Ni catalyst at 600oC, which was also tested for 20 hours for the analysis of its stability.

Theoretical Studies on Mechanism of Xanthine Oxidase and 6-mercaptopurineEDITOR IJCRCPS
The reaction mechanisms of 6-mercaptopurine or hypoxanthine have not been investigated either
theoretically or experimentally. Understanding of the overall mechanism helps to manage the
metabolic properties of potential drug molecules metabolized by XOR. The present theoretical
study is aimed to predict transition state structure, the path of electron transfer and probe plausible
mechanistic route for hydroxylation of 6-mercaptopurine or hypoxanthine and XO by relating the
electronic structure to reactivity. The transition state structure was predicted by linear transit
calculation of series of structures by performing frequency calculation which was confirmed by one
imaginary negative frequency value. The path of coupled electron proton transfer mechanism
proved from Mullikan charge analysis and mechanism of oxidation was proved from geometry
optimization. Density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method were used to probe the electronic
structure of metastable structure. Result showed that in transition state structures the energy barrier
for 6-mercaptopurine bound active site was lower than hypoxanthine bound active site by
20kcal/mol in average. The ionocity data revealed the presence of substantial negative charge on
proton which suggests the transfer of hydride from substrate to the active site. Bond length analysis
showed that in the transition stases CRH-Oeq bond length was nearly 98% formed where as the CRHHRH
bond length was only 36.78% broken. Geometry optimization revealed that oxidation of 6-
mercaptopurine or hypoxanthine by XO follow stepwise mechanism. It can be generalized that the
oxidation of 6-mercaptopurine or hypoxanthine by XO follows two step mechanisms namely:
abstraction of proton by Glu1226 from equatorial hydroxide of active site followed by nucleophilic
attach on C2 of substrate and hydride was transferred through concomitant release of oxidized
substrate.

Three million people die every year because of tobacco-related diseases in the world. The present
study was carried out to find out the association between Knowledge and awareness towards tobacco
consumption and to find out association between awareness towards tobacco consumption and
diseases in the last one year among residents of Dhankuta Municipality. The cross-sectional study was
conducted among residents of Dhankuta Municipality where 205 households were taken as subjects.
Pretested semi-structured questionnaire was administered to the study subjects and face to face
interview was conducted. Chi-square test was applied to find out the association between Knowledge
and awareness towards tobacco consumption and association between awareness towards tobacco
consumption and diseases in the last one year among residents of Dhankuta Municipality. The
respondents those thinking that tobacco is injurious to health were significantly more aware (46.9%)
than those not thinking (26.7%) (P<0.05). The respondents those thinking that tobacco can cause oral
problems (51.7%) and respiratory problems (48%) were more aware but the difference were not
significant. The respondent suffered from diseases was high who was not aware of tobacco
consumption (18.2%). The respondent suffered from respiratory problems (12.5%) and oral problems
(10%) was high among those not aware of tobacco consumption but the difference was not significant.
We conclude that people those thinking that tobacco is injurious to health were significantly more
aware. The people who were not aware of tobacco consumption suffered more from diseases but the
difference was not significant.
MICROBIAL STRESS RESPONSE REGULATORY ENZYME AND THEIR PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONEDITOR IJCRCPS
Ability of adaptation according to variable environmental conditions is essential for bacterial surveillance; those don’t have ability to
face the challenge is eliminated. To counter the damaging effect of reactive oxygen species, cells have evolved anti-oxidant
defense systems, whose expression is usually induced by reactive oxygen species and/or oxidants. Bacteria survive in several
kind of environmental stress condition due to alteration in cell membrane and genetic material by fatal enzyme. Other inducers of
the general stress response might also cause transient genetic instability and so promote bacterial adaptation to stressful
environments. Regulatory mechanisms which help bacteria to maintain their balanced and rather constant cellular composition
mostly occur at the genetic level. Many studies clarified the efficacy of stress enzyme as a therapy in the treatment of many
diseases, in addition to their inclusion in cosmetic products to reduce free radical damage to skin.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ANTIFUNGAL EFFECT OF OILS AND THEIR UNSAPONIFIABLE F...EDITOR IJCRCPS
The main objective of the study was to assess the in vitro antifungal potency of the unsaponifiable fraction extracted
from coat and bark seeds oils of Citrullus colocynthis L against pathogenic fungal strains namely Aspergillus flavus,
Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium expansum and Fusarium oxysporum. In terms of the physico-chemical
characterization, oils under study showed evidence of quality standards relating to vegetable oils. Unsaponifiable
matter yield recorded was approximately 0.93% and 1.03%, for the seed coat oil and bark seed oil respectively.
Antifungal activity carried out by radial growth on solid medium (Potatoes Dextrose Agar acidified) revealed that the
oils and the corresponding unsaponifiable fractions exhibited complete inhibition of fungal growth. Maximal antifungal
index inhibition (IAF=100%) were recorded at 5% and 2.5% dilutions of each fraction tested. The results provided
evidence that the unsaponifiable oils fractions might indeed be potential sources of natural antifungal agents and
deserve further studies to characterize the biological compounds included in these fractions.

RESPONSE OF SALMONELLA TYPHI AND SALMONELLA PARATYPHI TO A NEW EFFERVESCENT C...EDITOR IJCRCPS
Typhoid is an epidemic disease in Sudan and causes morbidty for many people especially in tropical countries. Ciprofloxacin
hydrochloride tablets were the drugs of choice for the disease treatment used as alternative to chloramphincol. The present
research work aimed to study the response of Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi to a newly formulated effervescent
ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets as compared to five conventional ciprofloxacin marketed brands. Microbiological sensitivity tests
were carried out against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi to detect the response of each drug. Comparison was held
between the drug formulations. The results showed that the response of Salmonella typhi to both drugs is less than that to
Salmonella paratyphi. This may be due to a genetic factor found in Salmonella typhi, in producing more polysaccharide as
compared to Salmonella paratyphi. Interestingly, the present research study revealed that the inhibition zones of the newly
formulated effervescent tablets are greater than those of conventional tablets. This may be an indication for more activity and
quicker response or action of the newly formulated drug.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
