Application of Nanotechnology in Natural ProductsMona Ismail
Nanoscience is the manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale.
The word "Nano" is derived from the Greek word for “Dwarf”. It means a billionth. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.
Article - "Markets and Opportunities for Nanosensors"n-tech Research
The article "Markets and opportunities for Nanosensors", talks about various segments in which nanosensors are likely to find their application. It also discusses as how these nanosensors are at an advantage over traditional sensors and much more. This article has been taken from NanoMarkets upcoming report "Nanosensors Market 2014"
Nanotechnologies promise new solutions for several applications in biomedical, industrial
and military fields. At nano-scale, a nano-machine can be considered as the most basic functional
unit. Nano-machines are tiny components consisting of an arranged set of molecules,
which are able to perform very simple tasks. Nanonetworks.
Dr. Taniguchi (in 1974) was the man behind the word “Nanotechnology” but Dr. Richard Phillips Feynman was the person who innovated the new technology. Food contamination due to harmful pathogenic microorganisms (like Escherichia coli, Hepatitis A, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Noroviruses, etc.) causes deadly diseases- ranging from enterocolitis to cancer (WHO-2020). Globally, food borne diseases (FBD) affecting not only the economy but also human health badly. FBD cases is expected to rise from 100 mn in 2011 to 150-177 mn in 2030 (Wageningen Economic Research; WHO-2020) According to a report from the UN (2019), the world’s population is expected to reach 8.548 bn by 2030, 9.735 bn by 2050 , and10.874 bn by 2100 Food nanosensors facilitate in detecting the harmful pathogenic microorganisms by monitoring the quality of food, and help in controlling the spread of foodborne disease. Antibacterial activity of metal NPs (e.g., Ag, Au, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg, Ti, Si, and their respective oxides) Biochemical synthesis of metal NPs and NPs embedded polymer attract researchers EUC in 2011 regulates the migration of NPs into food products (due to directly / indirectly contact of NPs) with regulation No. 10/2011. FDA and FSSAI are the regulating authorities in USA and India, respectively for the application of NPs in food. 1.
Recent developments in nanoscale electronics
allow current wireless technologies to function in
nanoscale environments. Especially due to their
incredible electrical and electromagnetic proper-
ties, carbon nanotubes are promising physical
phenomenon that are used for the realization of
a nanoscale communication paradigm. This pro-
vides a very large set of new promising applica-
tions such as collaborative disease detection with
communicating in-vivo nanosensor nodes and
distributed chemical attack detection with a net-
work of nanorobots. Hence, one of the most
challenging subjects for such applications
becomes the realization of nanoscale ad hoc net-
works. In this article, we define the concept of
carbon nanotube-based nanoscale ad hoc net-
works for future nanotechnology applications.
Carbon nanotube-based nanoscale Ad hoc NET-
works (CANETs) can be perceived as the down-
scaled version of traditional wireless ad hoc
networks without downgrading its main function-
alities. The objective of this work is to introduce
this novel and interdisciplinary research field and
highlight major barriers toward its realization.
Improving the reliability in bio-nanosensor modules using hardware redundancy...IJECEIAES
A nano-robot is a controlled robotic system at the nanoscale. Nowadays, nanorobotics has become of particular interest in medicine and pharmacy. The accurate diagnosis of the diseases as well as their rapid treatment will make everyone surprised and will significantly reduce the associated risks. The modeling of reliability in biosensors is studied for the first time in this paper. The use of practical hardware redundancy has turned into the most cost-effective to improve the reliability of a system. Additionally, the Markov model is used to design fault-tolerant systems in nanotechnology. The proposed method is compared with some existing methods, such as triple modular redundancy and non-fault-tolerant systems; it is shown that using this method, a larger number of faults between 3-5 can be tolerated. Using the proposed method, the number of modules can be increased to nine. However, a larger number than 9MR is not recommended because of an increased delay and requiring more hardware. As the scale of components used in digital systems has gotten smaller, the use of hardware redundancy has become cost-effective. But there is a trade-off between the amount of used hardware and fault tolerance, which can also be investigated.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
