“…The nanoparticles extract high energy per applied mass from a magnetic field. Due to their enormous surface [8] the nanoparticles are firstly able to carry a huge number of binding sites for cancer cells/target molecules and secondly able to intrude deeply into tumour tissue. With special coatings, the nanoparticles are delayed by the immune system and thus reach their targets.…”

“…A correlation between erysipelas (a streptococcal skin infection) and tumour regression had been observed for over a century before William Coley in 1891 [1] first documented evidence of a relationship between infection and cancer regression in sarcoma patients. Ever-expanding research on the hyperthermic treatment of cancer has been sustained over the past four decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In some hyperthermia treatments, the patient's blood is warmed up by an external device before it is re-transfused to the target volume (e.g.…”

“…In the current work, using a 9AL slab has allowed a systematic, detailed and computationally viable study of the coverage and arrangement of adsorbates. The shrinking factors [8,8], [4,8], [4,8], [2,8], [8,4], and [4,4] were adopted along the two periodic directions for 1 × 1, 2 × 1, 3 × 1, 4 × 1, 1 × 2, and 2 × 2 surface unit cells, respectively, in order to ensure consistent k-space sampling. The self-consistent field procedure was converged up to a tolerance in the total energy of E = 1 × 10 −7 E h per unit cell.…”

Water adsorption on rutile TiO2(110) for applications in solar hydrogen production: A systematic hybrid-exchange density functional study

et al. 2012

Periodic hybrid-exchange density functional theory calculations are used to predict the structure of water on the rutile TiO 2 (110) surface ( 1 ML), which is an important first step towards understanding the photocatalytic processes that occur in solar water splitting. A detailed model describing the water-water and water-surface interactions is developed by exploring thoroughly the adsorption energetics. The possible adsorption mode-molecular, dissociative, or mixed-and the binding energy are studied as a function of coverage and arrangement, thus separation, of adsorbed species. These dependencies (coverage and arrangement) have a significant influence on the nature of the interactions involved in the H 2 O-TiO 2 system. The importance of both direct intermolecular and surface-mediated interactions between surface species is emphasized. Finally, to gain insight into the photooxidation of adsorbed species at the surface, the electronic structure of the predicted adsorbate-substrate geometries is analyzed in terms of total and projected density of states.

Abstract. Nanolubricant is one of the efforts introduced by researchers to increase efficiency in many mechanical application, especially in refrigeration. Two-step method is the most common method used in the process of adding nanoparticles dispersed in base lubricant because of the simplicity of the process to prepare a stable solution. In this work, the SiO 2 /PAG nanolubricants were prepared using two-steps method without the use of surfactant. The stability of SiO 2 /PAG nanolubricant was observed trough sedimentation photograph capturing technique and UVVis spectrophotometric test. The results shown that there are minimum sedimentation observed over one month. This result also confirmed via the UV-Vis test; the nanolubricant relative concentration was maintained at over 70 % compared to the initial concentration.
