  Abstract
  In recent years, intensifying traditional agricultural practices act as an immediate strategy for increasing global food supply, but excessive use of agrochemicals cause pollution. Imbalanced nutrient management and decreased soil organic matter are the main factors responsible for yield decline. Nanotechnology is an innovative technology and has wide range of potential environmental and engineering applications like in agricultural systems, biomedicine, water resources, energy conversion and numerous other areas. It is working with the smallest possible particles which raise hopes for improving agricultural productivity through encountering problems unsolved conventionally. Advancement in materials science increased exponentially in the last decade and arriving in our days at a large variety of nanomaterials, which can deliver new environment technologies, due to their immensely powerful capacity. This article reviewed the potential uses of nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture with specific reference to soil remediation and environmental cleaning

  Abstract
  In the present paper, two-state theory of water has been successfully applied in computing the refractive index of it at single wavelength 589.262 nm in the temperature range -5 to 45oC. Further, it is shown that a thermal maximum in refractive index of water also exists near -1o C and agrees well with the experimental result . The present computed results of refractive index of water are also found in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

  Abstract
  Proper selection of cathode material for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is more important because of its impact which is noticeable on the performance of SOFC. The cathode is exposed to high temperature and an oxidizing atmosphere which limits the choice of metals and conducting oxides. Normally most common materials for SOFC cathodes belong to the family of the perovskite-type oxides. Cathode material should exhibit high electronic conductivity, high catalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction, it is able to conduct electrons as well as oxide ions, and have a porous microstructure to allow transport of oxygen. Its thermal expansion coefficient should match with that of other components. The most commonly used cathode for SOFCs is (LSM).

  Abstract
  Oral health could be maintained by application of this technology in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Oral cancer is a debilitating disease, and numerous research activities are being pursued worldwide to combat this deleterious process. Nanotechnology is very diverse field that has revolutionized the industry and is setting new trends in the management of oral cancer. Hence, we performed a PubMed search on nanotechnology in oral cancer and found 211 articles related to this search. We have reviewed the reported literature to the best of our abilities and summarized the various aspects of nanotechnology, its role in diagnosis - nanodiagnostics and treatment of oral cancer - nanotherapeutics in this article. Nanotechnology for oral cancer could be a use full tool for detection and drug therapy. By Possessing unprecedented potential for early stage detection, treatment of oral cancer, nanoparticles have been demonstrated over the last decade. In this review, we will summarize the current state-of-the-art of nanoparticles in biomedical applications such as detection, diagnosis and targeting over the oral cancer. Gold nanospheres, nanorods, nanoshells, nanocages, and surface enhanced nanoparticles will be discussed in detail regarding their uses in vivo imaging, cancer therapy, and drug delivery. The key feature of nanoparticle-based drug agents to target over ligands, therapeutic drugs, and other functionalities can all be integrated to allow for targeted molecular imaging and molecular therapy of oral cancer. The future of the nanotechnology for oral cancer looks brighter than ever yet many hurdles remain to be conquered. A multifunctional platform based on gold nanoparticles, with multiple receptor targeting, multimodality imaging, and multiple therapeutic entities, holds the promise for a “magic gold bullet” against oral cancer.

  Abstract
  Fluid dynamical instabilities in magnetized partially ionized dense dusty plasma are studied by taking into account relative flow between dust and neutral gas. Following Hurwitz criterion, the onset criteria for instabilities are derived for different densities of the neutral gas and dust components across the interface. It is found that in case of no significant magnetic field stabilization occurs not only due to dust neutral gas collisions but due to relative flow also. Our result might be useful in many situations of astrophysical magnetized dusty plasma namely comets and circumsteller dusty disk e.g. T-Tauri stars.

  Abstract
  Present paper deals with the study of an anisotropic tilted Bianchi type-I cosmological model in Kasner form filled with non-viscous fluid in the framework of Saez-Ballester theory of gravitation. Exact solutions of field equations are obtained using a special condition. The physical parameters of the model are obtained and discussed which yields a constant positive value of deceleration parameter.

  Abstract
  In the present work we have worked out a vector model for spontaneous emission based on the principle of moving vectors. This simplified approach reflects the work of Weisskopf and Wigner. Normalized probability of a transition to an upper level versus detuning has been plotted. Further we have shown that the areas which have been generated at phasor diagrams in different values of decay constants for moving vectors are directly proportional to time. This is a manifestation of Fermi’s Golden rule. Fermi’s Golden Rule in quantum mechanics is well known. But it is for the first time that we have worked out the concept of moving vectors using the transition probabilities and the concept of phasor diagrams to represent the Fermi’s Golden rule.
