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.

BIOC 303: Integrated Laboratory Techniques II Trending!
A centrifuge of some kind is found in every biochemistry laboratory. Centrifuges have many applications, but they are used primarily for the preparation of biological samples and for the analysis of the physical properties of biomolecules, organelles, and cells. Centrifugation is carried out by spinning a biological sample at a high rate of speed, thus subjecting it to an intense force (artificial gravitational field). Most centrifuge techniques fit into one of two categories: preparative centrifugation or analytical centrifugation.

ALI 207: THE AFRICAN NOVEL Trending!
This course explores the salient characteristics (thematic and formal) of the African novel. Covering diverse regions of the African continent, the course traces the development of the African novel from the pre-colonial, through the colonial, up to the postcolonial periods and seeks to interrogate how this form of artistic expression mirrors the social dynamism of the continent. To ground this in the practical sense, the course examines selected representative works from across the continent.
