Essays on Nano

Abstract

The field of Nanoscience has evolved due to the other advancements in the other fields of study such as the Nanotechnology. While the latter is a subset of the former, there is credible evidence that points to the fact that Nanotechnology has been developed thanks to various areas such as biology, material science, engineering physics, chemistry and much more. It is the foundation on which the Magnetic Nanoparticles have been embedded. MNP is nanoparticle that has the magnetic manipulation ability. Thus, this paper focuses on the study of the Magnetic Nanoparticles especially how they are formed or synthesized and ...

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

MANAGEMENT

Today, the world of sports has an immense number of fans following with subsequent industrial growth. According to Schlesinger (2016), the American population was recorded more than 320 million and Jones (2015) claimed that more than 60% of American population is a diehard fan of sports. Among innumerable sports, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has 17.7 million viewers; the Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series has 14.9 million viewers, and the National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl had record-breaking 108.7 million viewers throughout United States of America (USA; Thompson, 2014). Surprisingly, more than half a million viewers of each ...

Please insert your professor’s name here Please insert course number here Introduction Kinesins are proteins which serve as molecular motors for the directional transport of various cargos (Hirokawa et al. 10: 682-696). They perform this important function using different mechanisms to recognize, bind, determine the direction of transport and unload the cargos with an energy efficiency which can exceed 50%, thereby equipping them to play important roles intracellularly in the transport of organelles and vesicles, in biosensing as well as in the development of other bioengineering solutions (Agarwal 11; Hirokawa and Takemura 301: 50–9; Hirokawa et al. ...

Question 3: Creaholic

Introduction Creaholic is a company of innovation and high technology products that was founded by Elmar Mock in 1986. The company serves its clients with the help of the team of highly knowledgeable and skilled, technical and creative-minded individuals. The company usually works on the clients’ project to provide them with the innovative solutions to improve their products; however, it also started working on its own projects (Creaholic, n.d.). Being an innovative and high technology product development company, it is very important to market and advertise the company to increase its brand awareness so that the company can attract ...

SCIENTIFIC OPINION ON GUIDANCE ON THE RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE APPLICATION OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGIES IN THE FOOD AND FEED CHAIN

INTRODUCTION

Food and feed can contain of elements that have internal structures that can be measured on the nanoscale for example micelles, liposomes or micelles that occur naturally. Nanomaterials is used to categorize materials according to their size. Application of nanotechnology in agriculture can contribute to improved better pest management and protection of crops through better distribution of the agrochemicals and pesticides, growth agents or hormones. It is also applied in genetic engineering, sensors that are used in monitoring ...

LIBs Summary and Prospects

Research in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has focused on both active and non-active components. Flexible packaging of LIBs has been achieved by using aluminum pouch cells, polymer-coated aluminum pouch, and polymeric pouch cells. Polydimethylsiloxane material has also proved to be an excellent material suitable for packaging. Research in flexible materials has incorporated the element of cost. Laminate structures have been found to be less costly than the current technology in use. Separators for LIBs need to be not only thin, but also highly porous Cellulose nano-fiber paper-derived (CNP) and ceramic-based separators have shown impressive performance. Manufacturing of LIBs requires ...

{Author Name [first-name middle-name-initials last-name]} {Institution Affiliation [name of Author’s institute]} All drug delivery systems (DDS) use the nanostructures as drug containers. There are various types of these nanocontainers such as polymeric liposomal nanoparticles, carbon nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles and polymeric micelles (Singh and Lillard, 2009; Zarogoulidis et al., 2012). The mode of action of these nanostructures on the target site and the molecular proceedings occurring during this process provides a mechanistic foundation for drug discovery against cancerous developments. The several considerable points that an anti-cancer agent should have are targeted delivery to the impacted cells, least activity loss, ...

Question

Nanotechnology is progressively being used in refining everyday products in the contemporary world. Do these products remain safe once nanoparticles are incorporated in them? What is the FDA doing in this regard?

Response

Nanomaterials hold promise for numerous and varied applications. Their miniature size gives them their distinct properties which is intrinsic to their appeal and hence scientists are at odds as they try to find out plausible side effects that come with using such nanotechnology in consumer products (Gwyneth, 2012). Their application in consumer products raises a similar conundrum as major technological progress in the past due to the ...

Virulence and Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention

InstitutionVirulence and Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention of Opportunistic Bacterial Infections We live in a day that was much like 100 years ago, before antibiotics existed at all. The reason for this is that almost as soon as a new antibiotic is introduced, bacteria develop resistance to it. In 2008, a type of bacteria was found in China that has 45 specific genes meant solely to confer resistance to antibiotics just in its plasmid. Plasmid is a cellular material generated by bacterial colonies that are hard to penetrate with antibiotics, even without resistance genes (Lutz, 2016). As the search for ...

Chemistry

2. The nano carrier needs to remain in suspension in H2O, PBS, human serum, etc. What type of polymer do you need to use to decorate the surface of the nanocarrier to achieve this goal? In order to maintain the nanocarrier in suspension in water, Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS), human serum a suitable solution a polymer is needed on its surface. The polymer used needs to accomplish three goals. The polymer needs to decorate the nanocarrier surface to enhance suspension and secondly, to prevent protein absorption. Another characteristic is that the polymer evades the immune system. PLGA poly(lactic-co-)glycolic ...

What future technologies, not currently in existence, do you foresee being used to further communication, particularly in interview and interrogation situations? The future of communication technology is headed towards nano-satellite technology which will be significantly smaller than the satellite technology currently being used. This nano-satellite technology will not only be much smaller but will be available on a chip. Satellite technology in interview situations can and is normally used to transmit information or pictures to specified destinations. The nano-satellite technology will transmit information at speeds faster than the speed of light. In addition, these nano-satellites will be combined ...
