Introduction: I. Has anyone ever read the Ironman Comics? II. In the extremis comics , Tony Stark injects himself with
control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometres, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.” A nanometre is a millionth of a millimetre - to bring that scale into context, a nanometre is the amount a man's beard grows in the time it takes him to raise the razor to his face. Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technology whose theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, generally 100 nanometres or smaller, and the fabrication of devices or
Nanomaterials are typically categorised as materials which have structured components with at least one dimension less than 100nm. Nanotechnologies include the construction and/or manipulation of materials at the scale of nanometre (nm). One nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre. To give an example of just how small the nanoscale is, one human hair is roughly 70,000 nm in diameter. There is four main classifications of nanomaterials and they are classified based on the number of
The internet and the library , both are the considered to be a big depository of information .Library can be defined as [1]“A collection of literary documents or records kept for reference or borrowing” While Internet is defined as [2]“An electronic network providing access to millions of resources worldwide. University Libraries provide access to many periodical indexes through the Internet. Internet access is available on all floors of the Libraries.” Internet and the library both seems to be
the common virology textbooks by Fields and Flint & Racaniello. I also took up a course on Coursera titled ‘How Viruses Cause Disease’ by Dr. Vincent Racaniello to learn more about them. I was amazed as to how such minute creatures, the size of nanometres, could cause such massive epidemics and cause significant damage to human life. And the basis for this is their ability to overpower the immune system through sheer numbers and deception. Due to this curiosity about the subject, I felt that it will
ABSTRACT This report was commissioned to investigate the current and future trends of nanotechnology in the automotive industry. Furthermore, its purpose is to ascertain whether it is necessary, and how it could be achieved for students undertaking a BSc (Nanotechnology) at Curtin University to be equipped to work in the automotive industry. To investigate this issue a wide and varied multimedia research task was undertaken to fully identify all the factors involved. A report was then compiled detailing
Rabies Rabies is an infectious disease of animals which is a member of a group of viruses constituting the family Rhabdoviridae. The virus particle is covered in a fatty membrane, is bullet-shaped, 70 by 180 nanometres and contains a single helical strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Although rabies is usually spread among domestic dogs and wild carnivorous animals, all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to infection. The virus is often present in the salivary glands of infected animals, referred
Historical background of nanotechnology : (Feynman,1961; Drexler,2004; Ochekpe et al., 2009) Nanotechnology can be defined as the technology at the scale of one-billionth of a metre. The matter posses unique properties with nano scale of 1-100 nanometres (nm) size. The large surface area to volume ratio is the key element that is exhibited by the nano material and thus leaded to a variety of manipulations, diversifications and useful applications. The modification of the host material as in layered

Introduction: In order to study the cell and its component, it has to be visualised and displayed in details. In this practical class, we will be looking at different microscopic techniques that visualise the cell structures and identify its features. As most cells are very small, they cannot be seen with naked eyes and therefore need to be magnified. Light microscopy was first used to magnify the image of the cells using stains. However, some tissue and subcellular structures are too small to be
Porphyrins are a family of heterocyclic macrocycles molecules derived from the porphin. These molecules are composed of four modified pyrroles units linked through a methine bridges at their α carbon. Porphyrins are widespread throughout many living organisms. Compounds such as hemoglobin, cytochromes, chlorophylls are crucial for the survival of the vast majority of organisms. Since the first synthetic path for the formation of porphyrins was reported in the 1930s by Fisher1 and Rothemund2 simultaneously
For this task I thought long and hard about the types of vision and colour of eyes I wanted, the colours I would want is a little complex, I would have a completely blood red Iris while the border of the pupil having a touch of yellow starry rings, to give the looks of a soul that have been ravaged and in pain for centuries. I choose this for no particular reason other than personal preference. Night Vision I initially turned to night vision, initially this sounds nice, but after some thought on
CARBON NANOTUBES INTRODUCTION The advancement of material science over the past decade has allowed the scientists to create two structures of carbon namely carbon nanotubes and carbon nanowires. Nanowires are small wires with a diameter as small as 1 nanometre. These are being used to build tiny transistors with higher efficiency for computer chips and other electronic devices. In the last couple of years the carbon nanotubes have somewhat overshadowed the nanowires. A carbon nanotube is a cylinder full
device illuminates the tear film and records and measures the interference pattern of the reflected light. This “interferogram” is then captured, monitored and analysed by software which allows the thickness of the lipid layer to be measured with nanometre accuracy. If the tear film composition is abnormal or the lipid layer is too thin, then treatment (associated LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System) can be advised, provided the meibomian glands remain expressible. This tool offers valuable data to practitioners

“The shockwave petunia series has found its niche as the only small-flowered spreading series from seed. They are one of the earliest to flower in the spreading petunia class, and they yield a proliferation of 1 1/2 - 2" blooms that blanket the mounded plants.” (Harris, 2014). Plant Physiology Pigments are chemical compounds, which reflect and absorb only certain wavelengths of visible light. Because pigments interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and
Materials and synthesis The fully organic phase system contains silver nitrate as a silver precursor, n-butylamine (BA) as an alkyl ligand dissolving silver salt, dodecanoic acid (DDA) as a capping molecule, toluene as a medium, and NaBH4 as a reducing reagent. The silver nitrate, DDA, BA, and NaBH4 were purchased from Junsei Chemical, and they were used as received without further purification. The scheme for direct synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate in the organic phase is illustrated
Introduction: Spectrophotometry is a widely used method to calculate how much light is absorbed by a chemical substance. This is done by measuring the intensity of light as it passes through a sample solution. The principle of this method is that a compound absorbs or transmits light over a certain wavelength from which the measurement can be used to calculate the concentration of a known chemical substance. A spectrophotometer is an instrument that would measure the amount of light a sample would
Joseph Schumpeter, an American economist, renowned for his term ‘creative destruction,’ defined ‘entrepreneurs as individuals who exploit market opportunity through technical and/ or organisational innovation.’ Entrepreneur is derived from the French verb ‘entreprendre,’ meaning to undertake and consequently entrepreneurship is the ability and will to develop and manage a business scheme; accompanied by any of its risks with the intention of making turnover. Conversely, innovation is the process
Organelles Organelles are subunits that allow a cell to function correctly and efficiently. The name comes from organ as these subunits act like organs to cells in the same way that organs are for us. Most organelles in eukaryotic cells and some in prokaryotic cells are membrane bound and protected by a membrane or in some cases a wall. Universal organelles While most of the main organelles making up the nucleus grouping are present in all organelles, the ‘group’ is not membrane bound in prokaryotic
