Description

Nanoparticles are defined by the worldwide federation of national standards bodies, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as nanoobjects with all external dimensions in the nanoscale, where the lengths of the longest andshortest axes of nanoobjects do not differ significantly . Though nanoscale is basically ranged from 1 to 100 nm, nanoparticles can be categorized by three size ranges: larger than 500 nm, between 100 and 500 nm, and between 1 and 100 nm (European Commission, 2010). With respect to the size and the size distribution, nanoparticles may exhibit size-related intensive properties. If they are small enough to confine their electrons, they produce quantum effects and exhibit unexpected properties, for example, gold nanoparticles appear red in solution (see, for instance, Eustis and El-Sayed, 2006), and melt at much lower temperatures than that in slab form (Buffat and Borel, 1976). The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles provides the significant changes in properties related to contact/surface area, such as catalytic (Astruc, 2008),surface-enhanced plasmon resonance (Melaine et al., 2015), etc.

FRESH AND MARINE WATER COMMUNITIES (AQUATIC COMMUNITIES) Trending!
Communities associated with freshwater lakes, river valleys and areas that are permanently or temporarily waterlogged. Waterlogging is a result of drainage impediment. These communities are ecotones between dry land and open water. Wetlands are highly productive. They are species rich as they draw them from the adjacent ecosystems.

SCIENTIFIC NAMING OF PLANTS( NOMENCLATURE) Trending!
Nomenclature is the correct naming of plants according to specified rules. Plants were known by their common names during the pre-scientific times. The use of common names however are limited to geographical locations or cultures.

FORMATION OF SCIENTIFIC NAMES Trending!
Names of plants may be formed in a number of ways; 1. Commemorative ; names may commemorate important persons; those have had major contributions in the science of plants (Botany). 2. Plants may be named after geographical place or feature 3. Names may come from myths 4. Names be as a result of some character a plant 5. Names may describe the habitat 6. Names may also denote resemblance to another 7. Some plant names are derived from culture
