Chemo bio synthesis of silver nanoparticlesJagpreet Singh
Silver nanoparticles have a lot of ways of synthesis like physical and chemical
methods; some of these methods use a lot of chemical substances and are
very hazardous for humans and environment, so a novel, great, environmental
friendly, cheap and easy to use world of green chemistry has been used. A
number of characterization techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier
transformation infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction study and scanning
electron microscopy revealed that silver nanoparticles have been used. Thus
the different response of the functional groups and the difference in the peaks
and UV-visible data was studied and then compared to understand and know
the way these different reducing agents react to the same starting material. The
green synthesis had a UV-visible peak at 446 nm while the one with chemical
synthesis had a peak at 395 nm. FTIR results of silver nanoparticles synthesis
by trisodium citrate (TSC) showed a peak at 1505 cm-1 which shows that the
compound has a stretching of the -C=C – bond. In another case, which was done
by using Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) a peak at 1695 cm-1 showed a –C=O- bond
indicating stretching and a weak absorption intensity. Another peak was present
which indicates a –O-H bond formation and presence which is a strong bond are
found to exist. A notable peak came for synthesis by orange peel at 1517 cm-1
which represents a –C=C- bond stretching as in aromatic compounds. Another
peak at 1732 cm-1 indicates the –C=O- bond. The XRD results on one of the
silver sample prepared by green methods showed silver nanomaterials formed
which had a average particle size of around 42 nm. FE-SEM results revealed that
silver nanomaterials were formed and had a flake like appearance in one of the
results. All the overall comparison showed that different modes of synthesis
of silver nanomaterials and different reducing agents give same materials but
with different peaks and intensities. All this data provided knowledge about the
fact that an alternative method can be used to create new nanoparticles if one
of the previously considered to tried method fails thus helping in extending the
broadways for research.
The current research aimed at fabricating plant extract mediated biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing thorn extract of Bombax ceiba (TEBC). The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV spectroscopy where the surface plasmonic resonance peak (SPR) was located at 222 nm. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies demonstrated that the morphology of fabricated nanomaterials was primarily cylindrical of average size of 20-30 nm with some spindles of size >50 nm. The anti-microbial evaluation against Staphylococcus aureus revealed that AgNPs exhibited notable activity with ZOI of 27.2 mm at MIC of 25 μg/mL. The outcome of this research evidently signified that the biofabricated AgNPs using TEBC may be a new greener approach or technology to formulate anti-bacterial nanodrugs in future.
Plant Mediated Synthesis of ZnO and Mn Doped ZnO Nanoparticles Using Carica P...IIJSRJournal
In this work, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were green synthesized using Carica papaya extract by the Co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed the formation of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles with the wurtzite crystal structure (hexagonal). Due to the presence of dopant Manganese (Mn) the optical spectra showed a redshift in the absorbance spectrum. Structural and optical properties of the end product showed that the manganese ions (Mn2+) substituted the Zinc ions (Zn2+) without altering the Wurtzite structure of ZnO. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra confirm the presence of metal oxide present in the end product. The antibacterial efficiency of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were studied using the agar well diffusion method against Gram-positive and Gram–negative bacteria. It is obvious from the results that Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibit better antibacterial activity than ZnO nanoparticles.

The objective of this study is to synthesize zinc oxide nanostructures
with the most practical ways by using Ficus Religiosa leaves extract
and characterize the nanostructures. ZnO nanoparticles were
synthesized using Zinc Nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) as a precursor and Ficus
Religiosa leaves extract solvent and distilled water were used as
medium. ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by using XRD, UVVisible
spectroscopy, EDX and SEM, FTIR. Result of EDX
characterization shows that the ZnO nanoparticles has good purity with
(Zinc content of- 72.48% and; Oxygen content of- 27.52%). XRD
result spectrum displays mainly oxygen and zinc peaks, which indicate
the crystallinity in nature as exhibited. SEM micrographs shows that
synthesized ZnO have a cubical structure. The obtained ZnO
nanoparticles are homogenous and consistent in size which corresponds to the XRD result
that exhibit good crystallinity.
The review article summarizes the applications of silver nanoparticles for diverse sectors. Over the decades, nanoparticles used as dignified metals such as silver exhibited distinctive characteristics basically correlated
to chemical, physical and biological property of counterparts having bulkiness. Numerous studies reported that Nanoparticles of about 100 nm diameter play a crucial role in widely spread industries due to unique properties including the dimension of small particle, high surface area and quantum confinement and they dispersed without agglomeration. Decade of discoveries clearly established that shape, size and distribution of Silver nanoparticles strongly affect the electromagnetic, optical and catalytic properties, which are often an assortment of changeable synthetic methods and reducing agents with stabilizers. Generation after generation the postulates come forth about properties of silver for the ancient Greeks cook from silver pots and the old adage ‘born with a silver spoon in his mouth’ thus show that eating with a silver spoon was wellknown
as uncontaminated. Impregnation of metals with silver nanoparticles is a practical way to exploit the microbe aggressive properties of silver at very low cost. The nanoparticles help in targeted delivery of drugs, enhancing bioavailability, sustaining drug or gene effect in target tissues, and enhancing the stability. Implementations of silver partials in medical science and biological science have been noticed from years ago; however alteration with nanotechnology is innovative potential. Over 23% of all nanotechnology based products, diagnostic and therapeutic applications implanted with silver nanoparticles (e.g. In arthritic disease and wound healing, etc.) and widely known for their antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral effect, employed in textile fabrics and added into cosmetic products as antiseptic to overcome skin problems. Thus, Silver

Microwave Assist Green Synthesis of Silver Nano Particles Using Rhynchostylis...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
A novel green approach for the synthesis and
stabilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using water
extract of Rhynchostylisretusa(L.) Blume leaf has been
developed. As obtained, the nanoparticles are characterized by
UV-visible (UV-Vis), FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM
analysis. The crystalline nature of the AgNPs is confirmed by
the prominent peaks in the XRD pattern. FTIR spectra suggest
that the possible biomolecules are responsible for the efficient
stabilization of the sample. The prepared nanoparticle shows
good antioxidant activity.
In the present work, green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles has wide interest due to its inherent features such as eco-friendly and low costs. Here we propose a cost effective and eco-friendly green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using aloe barbadensis and copper acetate. Aloe barbadensis has antioxidant property that helps in the formation of nanoparticles. Aloe barbadensis extract was obtained by heating it in distilled water and mixed to copper acetate to form copper oxide nanoparticles. The synthesised nanoparticles were analysed using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Objective(s):
CuO is one of the most important transition metal oxides due to its captivating properties. It is used in various technological applications such as high critical temperature superconductors, gas sensors, in photoconductive applications, and so on. Recently, it has been used as an antimicrobial agent against various bacterial species.
Materials and Methods:
Here, we synthesized CuO nanoparticles (NPs) and explored the antibacterial activity of CuO NPs preparation.
Results:
Single crystalline nanoparticles of copper oxide having almost uniform particle size of 5-6 nm has been synthesized by a facile and versatile route. XRD spectra confirmed the formation of single phase CuO NPs. Transmission electron microscopy results corroborate well with XRD results. The technique employed is free from toxic solvents, organics and amines, is based on a simple reaction of copper sulfate and de-ionized water (DI), and their bactericidal effects against of Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966T bacteria were investigated. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) with liquid culture for all of the Aeromonas hydrophila culture Medias was done.
Conclusion:
Present study confirms that Copper oxide nanoparticles have great promise as antimicrobial agent against Aeromonas hydrophila.
The current research aimed at fabricating plant extract mediated biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing thorn extract of Bombax ceiba (TEBC). The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV spectroscopy where the surface plasmonic resonance peak (SPR) was located at 222 nm. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies demonstrated that the morphology of fabricated nanomaterials was primarily cylindrical of average size of 20-30 nm with some spindles of size >50 nm. The anti-microbial evaluation against Staphylococcus aureus revealed that AgNPs exhibited notable activity with ZOI of 27.2 mm at MIC of 25 μg/mL. The outcome of this research evidently signified that the biofabricated AgNPs using TEBC may be a new greener approach or technology to formulate anti-bacterial nanodrugs in future.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

making centrifuge for 20 minute at 4000 rpm at room temperature.
Finally keep the supernatant for using it on the reduction of silver salt
to synthesis AgNPs.
Syntheses of AgNPs
It was achieved by adding 10 ml of algae extraction to 90 ml 0.001
M of AgNO3
at room temperature. You note at once the color change to
greenish yellow color on mixture (AgNO3
solution + Algae extraction),
which change gradually till become dark brown color which indicates
the formation of AgNPs.
Characterization of synthesized AgNPs
Crystalline nature of the silver nanoparticles and its size were
detected by XRD. FT-IR was used to identify the possible biomolecules
responsible for the reduction of the Ag ions and capping of the bio-
reduced silver nanoparticles synthesized by Acanthophora specifera.
Antibacterial activity
Is done by using disc diffusion method on both gram positive
bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtillis and gram negative
bacteria Salmonella sp and Escherichia coli in addition to the unicellular
fungus Candida albicans. These bacteria were freshly cultivated for 24
hour on nutrient agar and then each bacterial culture was inoculate on
Muller Hinton agar, then preparing discs (6 mm) and loaded it by 200
µ of nanoparticles by the help of micropipette under aseptic conditions
and plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The zone of inhibition was
measured using a ruler and expressed in mm [14,15].
Results and Discussion
Before adding algae extract to AgNO3
solution, algae extract was
green and AgNO3
solution was colorless, after addition the algae extract
to AgNO3
solution the color change till be dark brown (Figure 1). Dark
brown color was observed indicate the formation of AgNPs. Such a
color transition is often indicative of changes in the metal oxidation
state. In this case, Ag+
was reduced to Ag0
by some biomolecules in
algae extract. So as the reaction time increasing the reaction rate was
gradually increased. This clear in increasing the brown color gradually
(Figure 2). Thus the synthesized silver nanoparticles by algae extract
increased, which still stable for months due to the presence of stabilizing
agents in algae extract. The results were analyzed by XRD (Figure 3) to
ensure from the final product and crystalline nature of AgNPs. That
was cubic crystalline, also the size of silver nanoparticles were obtained
range of (33 to 81 nm). The 2θ values of XRD pattern was range from
5° to 80°. There are two peaks for AgNPs at 45.2° and 58.5° and other
unknown peaks were observed it may be due to the fewer biomolecules
of stabilizing agents are enzymes or proteins in the algae extract and
other peaks don’t identified it may belong to biomolecules of algae
extract.
In order to determine the functional groups on Acanthophora
specifera ethanolic extract and predict their role in the synthesis of silver
nanoparticles, FTIR analysis was performed. The spectrum showed
a number of peaks thus reflecting a complex nature of Acanthophora
specifera. FT-IR absorption spectra of ethanol extract after reduction
of Ag+
ions indications the capping ligand of the silver nanoparticles
may be an aromatic and/or alkanes compounds (Figure 4). Whereas
the band at 3279.78 (cm-1
) assigned to O-H, or COOH stretched, the
band at 2129.628 (cm-1
) assigned to CO2
, the band at 1639.579
(cm-1
) assigned to C=C, the band at 1016.139 (cm-1
) assigned to C-C
and the band at 607.638 (cm-1
) assigned C-O group. The groups of
monosaccharide, polysaccharide, uronic acids and biological molecules
such as secondary metabolites found on marine algae [16,17]. Could
possibly play major role in the synthesis and stabilization of metal
nanoparticles. Proteins could most possibly form a coat covering the
metal nanoparticles (i.e., capping of silver nanoparticles) to prevent
agglomeration of the particles and stabilizing in the medium [16].

method. Ag-NPs significantly reduced the growth of the tested bacteria
(Figures 5-9).
Although gram positive bacteria have a thick cell wall contain
peptidoglucon. which sometimes no significant effects of nanoparticles
on it. On the other hand, a sharply clear zone was appeared for prepared
nanoparticles against the tested gram negative bacteria which contain
thin lipid layer. Where nanoparticles easily enter to the cell and disrupt
it. Clear zone of Escherichia coli were (23.5 mm) and it was the biggest
one. That is means that it is more sensitive to Ag-NPs synthesized by
Acanthophora specifera than other bacteria then come Salmonella sp its
clear zone was(19.5 mm) those two types are gram negative type. Clear
zone on Bacillus subtillis was also(19.5 mm). But at Staphylococcus
aureus was (18.75 mm). Those two types are gram positive type. On
Candida albicans clear zone was (20 mm). The antimicrobial activity
of AgNPs come from its ability to destroy the bacterial membrane.
Through binding with protein and it is also reported to uncouple
respiratory electron transport from oxidative phosphorylation which
inhibits respiratory chain enzymes or interferes with membrane
permeability to protons and phosphate [18]. Three most common
mechanisms were suggested on the activity of nano-silver on bacteria
up to now: uptake of free silver ions followed by disruption of ATP
production and DNA replication, formation of Reactive Oxygen
species (ROS) and direct damage to cell membranes [19,20].
Conclusion
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized through an environment
friendly method. The ethanol extract of algae acted as a reducing
agent and capping. Till prevent its aggregation. These AgNPs were
characterized by XRD its size was range in 33 nm to 81 nm and
crystalline nature was cubic. In addition to the may possible groups
for reduction detected by FT-IR. The anti-microbial activity carried
against gram positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtillis, gram
negative Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli and yeast strain Candida
albicans. Which give positive results against all. Results also revealed
that, the AgNPs synthesized here are a wide distribution anti-microbial
agent. So it could use on various medicinal applications as a sterilizing
agent, on coating medicinal devices and on dental material.
