The potency of each candidate disinfectant Pune - 411013, was evaluated by conducting a batch disinfection study for estimating the concentration of India E-mail: [email protected] disinfectant needed to inactivate a given concentration of the bacterial strain Escherichia coli ATCC 11229. Based on the concentration of disinfectant required, the size, weight and cost of a model purifier employing that disinfectant were estimated. Model purifiers based on different disinfectants were compared and disinfectants which resulted in the most safe, compact and inexpensive purifiers were identified. Purifiers based on bromine, tincture iodine, calcium hypochlorite and sodium dichloroisocyanurate were found to be most efficient, cost effective and compact with replacement parts costing US$3.60–6.00 for every 3,000 L of water purified and are thus expected to present the most attractive value proposition to end users.

The PLA/AgNP nanocomposite filaments have been produced initially + reducing silver ions (Ag ) arising from silver nitrate (AgNO3) precursor mixed in the polymer melt to elemental silver (Ag0) nanoparticles, utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), respectively, as macromolecular blend compound reducing agents. PEG and PVP were added at various concentrations, to the PLA matrix. The PLA/AgNP filaments have been used to manufacture 3D printed antimicrobial (AM) parts by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).

Freshly cut flowers were placed in glass cylinders containing 100 ml of preservative solutions [8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate (8-HQS) at 200 ppm, silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 10 ppm, Chitosan at 50, 75 or 100 ppm silver nano-particles (SN) at 5, 10 or 15 ppm, and distilled water as a control treatment].All preservative solutions and the control treatment included sucrose at 20 g/l. Compared to the control, treatments which contained of (AgNO3) or (SN) improved the quality and vase life of the flowers. They were more effective in promoting water uptake, increasing fresh weight of the flower and water balance so that the vase life of cut flowers were extended to 13.67 and 12 days during the first and second seasons, respectively. The results of bacterial count in the vase solution and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) pictures of the cut base of the stem indicated that (AgNO3) or (SN) strongly reduced bacterial population in both the vase solution and the cut stem base.

    The Role of Electrochemical Power Sources in Modern Health Care by Curtis F. Holmes t has been more than forty years since the first implantable pacemaker was implanted into an animal. Two years later, in 1960, the first successful pace- maker was implanted into a human. This event ushered in an era of battery- powered biomedical devices that have played an increasingly important role in health care.1 I Today a variety of battery powered implantable devices are routinely implanted into patients to treat ailments ranging from irregular heartbeat to pain and epilepsy. Moreover, a wide variety of battery powered external devices are used to administer drugs, treat ailments, and monitor bodily functions. Battery powered devices thus play a very important role in the treatment of disease. This paper will discuss some of the more common applications of batteries in medical devices. The Cardiac Pacemaker In the 1950s it became common to treat a patient suffering from bradycardia with an external pacemaker which applied electrical shocks through the skin. The first units were powered by normal line power. The treatment was painful and patient mobility was severely restricted. Later a battery-powered hand-held device was developed by Earl Bakken and was used with myocardial leads, which eliminated much of the discomfort caused by the earlier line-powered units. The invention of the transistor in the 1950s provided the possibility of creating an implantable battery-powered pacemaker. Great- batch and Chardack in the U.S. and Sennig in Sweden were both pursuing this goal.2 The Greatbatch/Chardack team succeeded in pro- ducing a device powered by zinc/mercuric oxide cells.

In particular, the crystal structure, Raman-active phonons, and electronic band gap have been accurately determined. When the initial orthorhombic Pnma Ag2CrO4 structure (phase I) is compressed up to 4.5 GPa, a previously undetected phase (phase II) has been observed with a 0.95% volume collapse. The structure of phase II can be indexed to a similar orthorhombic cell as phase I, and the transition can be considered to be an isostructural transition. This collapse is mainly due to the drastic contraction of the a axis (1.3%).

Given the development of proteomics, the ability to analyze and identify protein in a gel matrix at high sensitivity is becoming more important [1,2]. Various protein staining methods have been developed based on visible organic dyes, fluorescent and silver based systems, and radiolabeling. Of these, organic dyes are easily used but have low sensitivities, with detection limits in the range of 1-50 ng for proteins [2,3]. Fluorescent staining methods are a little more sensitive than dye-based methods but for data reading, special instruments are necessary that involve UV.
