CURCUMIN, A YELLOW PIGMENT ISOLATED FROM THE RHIZOMES OF CURCUMA LONGA (TURMERIC) HAS DEMONSTRATED WIDE RANGE OF PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES; INCLUDING ANTIOXIDANT, ANTICANCER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTIBACTERIAL, AND ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITIES. …

THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF IN DOPED GAN WITH DIFFERENT DOPING CONCENTRATION, IN ZINC BLENDE STRUCTURE WERE CALCULATED USING DENSITY FUNCTION THEORY WITH THE PLANE-WAVE ULTRASOFT PSEU-DOPOTENTIAL METHOD. THE INFLUENCE OF IN DOPING ON THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF GAN WERE ANALYZED. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE INTERACTIONS AMONG ATOMS ARE REDUCED, BAND GAP DECREASES, AND ABSORPTION SPECTRA HAVE RED SHIFT ALONG WITH IN DOPING CONCENTRATION. ...

AMONG THE AVAILABLE TRANSPARENT CONDUCTING OXIDES (TCOS), INDIUM-TIN-OXIDE (ITO), AN N-TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR, IS A PROMISING CANDIDATE FOR USE IN VARIOUS OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES [1-3]. IN THIS STUDY ITO NANOMETER THIN LAYERS HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY ELECTRON BEAM EVAPORATION METHOD ON CLEANED GLASS SUBSTRATE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LAYERS WERE ANNEALED AT 400OC, FOR 1 H IN AIR ATMOSPHERE. THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LAYERS HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION (XRD). THE OPTICAL REFLECTANCE AND TRANSMITTANCE SPECTRA OF THE LAYERS HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN THE WAVELENGTH RANGE 250-2500 NM. XRD RESULTS OF THE LAYERS SHOWED CRYSTALLINE PHASE AFTER HEAT TREATMENT AND CONFIRMING THE AMORPHOUS NATURE OF LAYERS BEFORE HEAT TREATMENT. SPECTROMETRY MEASUREMENTS OF THE LAYERS SHOWED A HIGH OPTICAL TRANSPARENCY GREATER THAN 80% IN THE VISIBLE REGION. ALSO SOME OPTICAL PROPERTIES, SUCH AS ABSORBANCE AND BAND GAP ENERGY ARE INTRODUCED. THE OPTICAL BAND GAP, ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT AND REFRACTIVE INDEX HAVE BEEN EVALUATED USING AVAILABLE THEORIES.

BAND GAP OF INDIUM OXIDE IS STILL A WONDERFUL MATTER. BASED ON OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS THE PRESENCE OF AN INDIRECT BAND GAP HAS BEEN SUGGESTED, WHICH IS 0.9 TO 1.1 EV SMALLER THAN THE DIRECT BAND GAP AT THE 𝛤 POINT. THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY STRONG MIXING OF O 2P AND IN 4D ORBITALS IN 𝛤. WE HAVE PERFORMED DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY CALCULATIONS USING THE LDA-U AND THE GGA-U METHODS TO DEMONSTRATE THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE IN 4D STATES AND THE EFFECT OF SPINORBIT COUPLING ON THE VALENCE BAND STRUCTURE. ALTHOUGH AN INDIRECT BAND GAP IS OBTAINED, THE ENERGY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OVERALL VALENCE BAND MAXIMUM AND THE HIGHEST OCCUPIED LEVEL AT THE 𝛤 POINT IS LESS THAN 50 MEV. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONCANNOT BE RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF THE DEFECT FREE BULK MATERIAL. ...

TRANSFERRIN (TF) IS THE BLOOD IRON TRANSPORT PROTEIN WITH TWO GLOBULAR LOBES, THE C-AND N- LOBES, BOTH OF WHICH BIND FE+3[1].INDIUM IS WIDELY USED FOR IMAGING TUMOR CELLS. THE BINDING OF IN+3 TO HUMAN SERUM TRANSFERRIN IN 0.01M HEPES BUFFER, PH 7.4, 5MM SODIUM BICARBONATE AND NITRILOTRIACETIC ACID (NTA) IN RATIO OF 10:1 AT 25OC HAS BEEN STUDIED. INDIUM BINDING CONSTANTS FOR TRANSFERRIN WERE MEASURED BY DIFFERENCE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AT 255NM.THE OBSERVED BINDING CONSTANTS ARE LOGK1=17.12± 0.15 AND LOGK2 =15.91± 0.51 THESE CONSTANTS ARE CONDITIONAL CONSTANTS FORPH 7.4 AND 5MM BICARBONATE AND PH DEPENDENT. SINCE BLOOD SERUM TF IS NOT NORMALLY SATURATED WITH IRON, IT HAS AN APPRECIABLE CAPACITY FOR TRANSPORT OF INDIUM (III) IONS THROUGH THE BLOOD.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO SATUREX LABELING BY [111IN] -INDIUM AT DIFFERENT PH [1]. SATUREX IS A NEW HERBAL DRUG THAT 93% OF IT IS CARVACROL. CARVACROL HAS PHENOLIC STRUCTURE. THIS PHENOLIC HYDROGEN IS REMOVED IN THE ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT ETHANOLIC KOH AND PRODUCE COMPLEX WITH THE IN (III) [2]. THE COMPLEX HAS MORE LIPOPHILIC CHARACTER. CHROMATOGRAPHIC SYSTEM WAS USED FOR THE DETECTION OF THE RADIOLABELED COMPOUND FROM THE FREE INDIUM CATION. USING METHANOL AND WATER (55: 45) MIXTURE, THE RADIOLABELED COMPOUND REMAINS AT THE ORIGIN OF THE PAPER OF WHATMAN NO. 2 AS A SINGLE PEAK, WHILE FREE INDIUM MIGRATES TO HIGHER RF (0.8) [3].THISSUBSTANCE AS THE ANNIHILATOR SOME TUMORS AND TRACER IN THE INDUSTRY NUCLEAR MEDICINE.
