Congratulations:               

                   Happy Birthday

Imam Reza^PBUH): "Seven desires without seven deeds is self-mockery: asking of God's forgiveness without heartily repentance; asking God's help without undertaking effort; making firm resolution to doing something without taking due precautions; asking God for paradise without enduring the related hardships; beseeching deliverance from the hell-fire without refraining from lusts; remembering God without anticipating to encounter him".

Imam Reza^PBUH): "An intellect Muslim does not mature unless: benevolence be expected from him, people be secure of him, considers small benefaction of others as plentiful, takes plenty of his own benevolence as meager, does not get tired of demands asked to be fulfilled, does not get fatigued of seeking knowledge, loves poverty more than plentifulness, loves abjectness in the way of God more than the honor on the course against God, likes anonymity more than fame, reference others as better than himself".

Drug Delivery:

Both hard-tissue replacement and drug-delivery can be achieved via anodic oxidation/electrospun coating in Titanium-implants. The order and size of the titanium oxide nanotubes which facilitate drug-delivery, are both controllable. For prevention of the local bacterial infection, Vancomycin loading is possible. To prevent explosive release, nano-polymeric cords can be placed on the oxidized titanium nanotubes.

In-situ synthesis of porous g-C₃N₄/SnO₂ catalyst by fast microwave-assisted method was done. Sn derivatives in the condensation step triggered simple pyrolysis of urea to C₃N₄. The visible-light catalyst had high potential for clean energy production.

NiCoCrAlY/CoNiCrAlY Coatings:

NiCoCrAlY coating is more resistant to 1000°C air-oxidation than CoNiCrAlY. The main protecting phase on NiCoCrAlY is α-Alumina. Oxidation of CoNiCrAlY initially is sub-parabolic; while finally parabolic.

Recent Article:

Foamy nanocatalysts of Ni-Pd-CNT were synthesized by electroless deposition method. BET results indicated specific surface areas as high as 611.3 m²/g for Ni-Pd-CNTs. TPR and TPO activation energies reduced with addition of Pd-CNT to the Ni foam. At 850 °C, Ni-Pd-0.1CNT nanocatalyst increased methane conversion rate up to 85 %. Ni-Pd-0.1CNT resulted in 22% higher methane conversion than Ni-MgO catalyst.
