Narumi-Katayama index of G is defined as the product of the degrees of the vertices of G. In this paper, we define the Narumi-Katayama polynomial of G. Next, we investigate some properties of this polynomial for graphs and then, we obtain this polynomial for some composite graphs such as splice, link, join, composition and Cartesian product of two graphs. Finally, using our results, we compute this polynomial for some nanostructures such as dendrimers and the chain of fullerenes.</em>https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_30195_0cfac3fa56dafb855c4d5427589ca337.pdfIranian Nanotechnology SocietyInternational Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology1735-700414120180301Ultrasound Assisted Green Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene Oxide111730196ENA.

In several stages, ultrasound was used to separate the oxidized layers of GO. The use of ultrasound optimizes the effect of the reacting agents, decreasing the required amounts of used chemicals. This method produces graphene oxide highly oxidized with greater interlayer spacing over the Hummers’ method without producing toxic gases.

To meet the requirements and growing technological demand, there is a need to develop an eco-friendly approach. In the present effort, the baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been taken in order to assess its potential as putative candidate fungal genera for the transformation of silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by green synthesis method. The formation of silver nanoparticles and the concentration of yeast extract required to produce yeast mediated silver nanoparticles with no aggregation was found out by UV-Visible spectroscopic analysis. The detailed characterization of the Ag NPs was carried out using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and FTIR. From the UV-visible spectroscopy, the maximum absorption peak was found at 440 nm. From the SEM images, it is confirmed that the sample contains spherical silver nanoparticles at a range of 10 to 60 nm. The silver nanoparticles are crystalline in nature, which was confirmed by the FT-IR peak at 518 cm<sup>-1</sup> corresponding to the Ag vibration present in crystalline structure. The water filtration system depicted 5 log reduction for AgNPs [99.99% reduction]. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles was determined by well diffusion method, and found that silver nanoparticles have significant antibacterial activity against E. coli with an inhibition zone of 2.1cm. The MIC test was performed to test the inhibitory concentration of AgNPs against the pathogens and was found to be 40 µg ml-1 for E.coli and comparatively higher for other microorganisms.</em>https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_30198_5a928826e833b98d8714a22246ea9268.pdfIranian Nanotechnology SocietyInternational Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology1735-700414120180301Application of Nanotechnology in Pesticides Removal from Aqueous Solutions - A review435630199ENT.

PanahiDepartment of Mathematics and Statistics, Lahijan branch, Islamic Azad University, Lahijan, Iran.S. AsadiDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Payame Noor University (PNU), P.O. Box: 19395-3697, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20160212<em> Spreading and coating of nano and micro droplets on solid surfaces is important in a wide variety of applications including plasma spray coating, ink jet printing, DNA synthesis and etc. In spraying processes, most of droplets collide obliquely to the surface. The purpose of this article is to study the distribution of nano and micro droplets spreading when droplets impact at an oblique angle. We introduce the generalized exponential distribution as a new alternative for spreading data. The generalized exponential distribution shares many physical properties of the Weibull distribution which is used frequently for engineering data. For shape parameter greater than one, the generalized exponential distribution offers increasing hazard function, which is in accordance with the inclined droplet impact in plasma coating processes. We apply a number of criteria and model selection tests to evaluate the suitability of the generalized exponential distribution to other rival models, such as the Weibull, inverse Weibull, Burr III, Burr X, inverted exponentiated Rayleigh and exponentiated Pareto distributions. The analyses results indicate that the generalized exponential distribution shows better results than the other distributions for nano and micro droplets spreading data. Finally, graphical displays for informal checks on the appropriateness of the generalized exponential distribution in probabilistic assessment of inclined impact as well as formal goodness of tests are presented. An important implication of the present study is that the generalized exponential distribution, in contrast to other distributions, fits more appropriately in the spreading data. </em>https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_30202_2ef22b9b09785fcdeb90bdcaf177c5e8.pdfIranian Nanotechnology SocietyInternational Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology1735-700414120180301Physical Study of Nano Ribbon and Tetragonal Bundled and Isolated Nano Tube SIC (7,0)859230203ENM.
