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.

BIOCHEMISTRY
DBY 2101 BIOCHEMISTRY Introduction The term ‘biochemistry’ was first introduced by a German chemist Carl Neuberg in 1903. Biochemistry may be defined as a science concerned with the chemical nature and chemical behavior of the living matter. Biochemistry is the study of the chemical basis of life. Biochemistry helps us understand how biological systems work. ‘A biochemist is an investigator who utilizes chemical, physical or biological techniques to study chemical nature and behavior of living matter

OCTANE RATING AND MOTOR FUELS i) Gasoline consisting primarily of straight chain alkanes has poor combustion characteristics when burned in an internal combustion engine. ii) Consequently air and vaporized gasoline mixture tends to ignite spontaneously in the engine’s cylinder before it is completely compressed and ignited by the spark plug. This may result in “Engine knocks” resulting in “loss of power.

ECONOMICS FULL NOTES
The study of economics begins with understanding of human “wants”. Scarcity forces us to economise. We weigh up the various alternatives and select that particular assortment of goods which yields the highest return from our limited resources. Modern economists use this idea to define the scope of their studies.
