An Extensive Study of Main Issues and Techniques to Tenderize the Structural, Electricals, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Thin Films
Nano has made a significant role for the development of the semi conductor materials. It has offered tremendous innovation in semiconductor industry also. present paper discuss about the various processing and process for determining the issues and techniques to tenderize the structural, Electricals, optical and magnetic properties of thin films The most interesting properties of ZnO are its wide band gap and its high exitonic binding energy (60 meV) at room temperature which is much higher than that of ZnSe (20 meV), GaN ( 21meV). Because of this, it is expected that ZnO based devices will be more efficient. It also has peizo electric properties. It is unique having semi conducting, piezoelectric, and pyro-electric properties. Historically it is used as white pigment in watercolour and paints, and also an activator in the rubber industry. Further, Today it is expected that it can be used in fabrication of Solar cells ,Laser Diode ,UV-lasers,Thin film transistors, Transparent conductive contacts ,Surface acoustic wave devices ,Thin film gas sensor
Statistical approximation properties of Stancu type -Baskakov-Kantorovich operators
In the present paper, we consider Stancu type generalization of
Baskakov-Kantorovich operators based on the q-integers and obtain statistical
and weighted statistical approximation properties of these operators. Rates of
statistical convergence by means of the modulus of continuity and the Lipschitz
type function are also established for said operators. Finally, we construct a
bivariate generalization of the operator and also obtain the statistical
approximation properties.Comment: 16. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1508.0586
A Study of Unjha Market Yard (APMC): Financial Performance
The growth of farmers is greatly aided by APMCs. The actions of the farmers in terms of selling and purchasing might be significantly impacted by APMC. The major activity to enhance the trade cycle is carried out by APMC Unjha, one of the most active APMCs in Gujarat and India. It is located in Gujarat state\u27s Mehsana district. It belongs to a charity. In this study, we examine Unjah APMC\u27s balance sheet and profit and loss statement. Different ratios can be utilised for financial performance analysis and generated on the basis of translating APMC terminology into corporate terms. The financial performance of APMC Unjha is gauged using a variety of factors, including the net profit ratio, current ratio, debt equity ratio, different income and expenditure ratios, and fixed asset turnover ratios. This study\u27s primary goal is to determine the financial status using a ratio analysis
Effect of response method in participants with sensorineural hearing loss
Background:Aim of the study was to compare the speed of response, false-alarm rate, and subject preference of different response methods i.e. raising a hand, using response switch, and oral response mode for measuring pure-tone thresholds.Methods:Forty five participants (female-21 and 24 male) were included in the study with sensorineural hearing loss of various degree. Response method order was randomly assigned to 3 different sessions. Air-conduction thresholds were measured thrice for each participant in octave intervals between 250 Hz and 8000 Hz. The 2nd and 3rd session were performed for different response method on a different day but within 2 weeks of the 1st session.Results:Difference in the time was noted when compared with the extent of time required to complete the test for each response method. On an average, using the pushbutton method took 3.02 to 3.42 minutes less than using hand-raise or verbal response methods. There was also a significant participant preference for using the response button. No significant difference between response method for threshold level and number of false positives (P = 0.15) was found.Conclusion:This study supports the use of the response button when measuring auditory thresholds for sensorineural hearing loss.
Dissociative disorder in children and adolescents and their personality profile: a comparative study
Background: Studies demonstrate the change in nature of dissociation in accordance with increasing age but there is dearth of literature studying the differential influence of personality factors in childhood and adolescent dissociation respectively. Personality attributes putatively determine the overt expression of nature of dissociative symptoms in childhood and adolescent dissociative symptoms differentially. Objective: Aim of this study was to compare the personality profiles of children and adolescents onset dissociative disorder.Methods: 60 subjects with diagnosis of dissociative disorders were included in this study with 30 subjects with 8-12 years of age and 30 adolescents with 13-16 years of age. Children in the age group of 8-12 years were given children personality questionnaire (CPQ) and adolescents were given 16 PF (form B) which are a paper-pencil self-administered questionnaires.Results: Both the groups were comparable for various socio-demographic and clinical variables except habitat and education. Children in younger age group were found to be more serious, taciturn, internally restrained, depressed and apprehensive. Adolescents on other hand were more aggressive, stubborn and aggressive.Conclusions: Dissociation in childhood and adolescents is a malleable developmental phenomenon determined by core personality attributes.
APPLICATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES IN ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY
There are many infectious diseases that may be biofilm mediated, medical device-mediated or from some other agent, are now becoming life-threatening. Despite of availability of many antimicrobial agents, new drugs or therapeutics, these infections have continued to be a global health challenge. Nowadays, conventional antimicrobial agents have failed against many infections due to the emergence of multiple drug-resistant strains. Even, if there is a therapeutic efficacy of these drugs, there inappropriate amounts are resulting in an adequate therapeutic index, local and systematic side effects, including irritation, reduction in gut flora and other manifestations. To overcome such situations, nanostructures have exclusive physicochemical properties as they are ultra small, their size can be controlled, greater surface area to mass ratio, high reactivity and functionalizable structure. Encapsulation of antimicrobial drugs in these nanoparticle systems helps in reducing many side effects. It also helps in the sustained release of drug for a larger time period. Several metal and metal oxide nanoparticles such as silver, gold, zinc, etc. have shown a promising antimicrobial activity. Liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and solid lipid nanoparticles have achieved great success as efficient antimicrobial drug delivery systems. These nanoparticles use multiple biological pathways to exert their antimicrobial mechanism such as cell wall disruption, inhibition of RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, etc. Moreover,these preparations of nanoparticles are more cost-effective than that of antibiotic synthesis with lesser or no side effects
