After the initial discovery of Carbon Nanotubes in the Grime by electrical discharge, various methods have been developed to produce Carbon Nanotubes. In this study, four more conventional methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes have been evaluated. These include: Electrical arc discharge, Laser ablation, Sedimentation by chemical vapor and HIPco. The last method mentioned is highly regarded in the last few years and it have been produced the subject of many investigations in the field of Carbon Nanotubes. The results of this research show that HIPco production method has ability to supply mass production of Carbon Nanotubes in the future.

Objective : Pain is one of the most common symptoms that troubles cancer patients and precludes satisfactory quality of life. Globally, nearly 80% of the cancer patients receive little or no pain medication and cancer pain is barely controlled. This study was done to analyse the prevalence of pain and pain treatment in patients presenting to palliative care unit in a regional cancer centre. Methods : Palliative care registry and follow-up forms of 2142 patients who got registered in our palliative care unit were analysed to obtain the demographic details, treatment characteristics and to determine the prevalence of pain, its severity, and treatment in cancer patients in our regional cancer centre. Results : Nearly 50% of the cancer population had head and neck and gastrointestinal tract malignancies and received only best supportive care. Stage IV disease was found in 40% of patients, and skeletal metastasis (52%) was most common. This study showed a 92.4% prevalence of cancer pain in our centre. About 40% of patients with pain had a pain score of 7-10 by Numerical rating scale on initial presentation to the palliative care unit. About 65% of the patients with severe pain had a response to treatment withmorphine during their first follow-up to palliative care unit after initial registration. The average overall pain score of the patients per visit decreased from around 7 to 4 at a median follow-up of ten months. Significance of results : Thus, there is a high prevalence of pain in cancer patients and patients with severe pain receive little or no opioid medication at all probably due to the lack of adequate education and training to the primary oncologists and residents regarding prescription of strong opioids. This audit may help in the modification of existing and formulation of new policies in the delivery of palliative care.

This study presents new spectrophotometric method for the determination of Irbesartan. So far, no Area under Curve Spectrophotometric method has been reported for the estimation of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage form. This paper deals with validation and development of a method by Area Under Curve for the assay of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage forms. The principle for AUC curve method is “the area under two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the component of interest”. The area selected between 203 to 211 nm for determination of Irbesartan. The drug follows Beer-Lambert’s law over the concentration range of 5-25 μg/ml for Irbesartan. In accuracy study the % recovery of Irbesartan in bulk drug samples was ranged 96.45-93.84%, which indicates that the method was accurate. Validation of the proposed method was carried out for its accuracy, precision, and specificity according to ICH guidelines. The proposed methods can be successfully applied in routine work for the determination of Tigecycline in its pharmaceutical dosage form.

We report herein synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of four Shiff bases derived from hexamethylenediamine. Substitution of a nitro group on each aromatic ring in ortho, meta or para positions of N,N'-bis(phenylmethyl)hexane-1,6-diimineallowed to have a homogeneous series of positional isomers. These four symmetric diimine Schiff bases were characterized by conventional spectrometry methods (NMR, IR, MS), then tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Among them, compounds 1b , 1c , 1d were found to be active against bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus CIP with MIC value of 375 μ g/ ml, 187.5 μ g /ml and 375 μ g /ml respectively. Candida Albicans fungal strain showed resistance to all synthesized Schiff base compounds, butin the other hand, Candida glabrata has been sensitive to all compounds with MIC of 1500 μ g/ ml and one more time except 1a .

Dissipation behavior of mancozeb, a widely used dithiocarbamte fungicide, applied under field condition on tomato at recommended dose was undertaken under greenhouses and open field during October and March in Souss-Massa area (south of Morocco) climatic condition. Residue levels of mancozeb were determined by using a simple method consisting in a hot acid digestion of the whole sample to evolve carbon disulfide (CS 2 ), which is further quantified by spectrophotometry. Degradation rate in both open field and greenhouse followed first order kinetic. Half lives were 1.77 and 1.3 days in open field and in greenhouse were 2.0 and 1.8 days for October and March period respectively. Based on the observation reported, a pre harvested interval of at least three days after pesticide application at recommended dose may be suggested.

The genus Clostridium is ubiquitous , because of this they find easily their way into wounds, foods and feeds, being the cause of serious illness on human and domestic animals. Manifestations and pathology can range from mild food poisoning to death . Outstanding to their high toxicity, and the rapid evolution of infection with serious consequences , it is important to detect it rapidly. One approach is to have rapid detection tests to major clostridial toxins in complex matrices (blood, culture media, food and others), that can be implemented in point of care centers. In this review, a survey of recent work is carried out in this line of research and development.

A general overview has been proposed for biomass composition, characteristics and property. Biomass is the combination of all organic materials that simplify referring to amount of animal and plant. Biomass materials are diverse, ranging from wood, bark, straw and other agricultural residues, grasses and off-spec grains. Despite of diversity the composition of most biomass materials is relatively uniform, when moisture has been excluded. Biomass burning emission is an important part of carbon and nitrogen cycle. The pollutants released by biomass burning varies depends upon the constituents of nitrogen sulphur and carbon. In this paper basic knowledge of biomass and comparative data regarding composition and characterization has been studied.

Some complexes of Ni(II) have been prepared with 2-thio-3-acetyl hydantoin (TAHN) and 2-formyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone (FPTS). On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductivity, the complexes have been formulated as NiL 2 X 2 , where L = TAHN or FPTS and X = Cl – , Br – , NCS – , ClO 4 – . The infrared spectra of complexes and free ligand reveal that the ligand TAHN is co-ordinated through sulphur and acetyl oxygen, while FPTS ligand co-ordinates through heterocyclic nitrogen and sulphur to Ni(II) metal ion. The magnetic moment of these complexes are found to be 3.20-3.25 B.M. The values are greater than value (2.828 B.M) corresponding to two unpaired electrons of a d 8 -system. The appearance of four absorption bands in their electronic spectra reveal, the tetragonal distortion in the octahedral symmetry of complexes. The zero field splitting parameter(D) and the other crystal field parameters like Dq (xy) , Dq (z) , Dt have been calculated. The results show that, the tetragonal distortion parameter (Dt) increases in the order of NCS – < Cl – < Br – while the zero field splitting parameter (D) also increases in the same order for both the planer ligands.
