Congratulations for:
                                   Eid Ghadir

Imam Ali^(PBUH): "All piety and devoutness stands between two statements: (a) Never regret for what you have lost and (b) Do not exult for what you have gained." and  "Infuse your heart with mercy, love and kindness. ... Grant people your pardon and your forgiveness to the same extent that you hope God will grant you pardon and forgiveness."

Holy Quran: "O Messenger! proclaim (the message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And God will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For God guideth not those who reject Faith." and "Only God, His Messenger and the true believers who are steadfast in prayer and pay alms while they kneel during prayer, are your guardians."

Na₃MnCO₃PO₄(NMCP)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. The produced 25 nm NMCP nanoparticles were randomly distributed on rGO sheets. As a promising cathode material for Na-ion batteries, the hybrids deliver gravimetric discharge capacities of 98.3 mAh per gram of electrode (156.0 mAh per gram of NMCP) and 114.0 mAh per gram of electrode (180.9 mAh per gram of NMCP) at C/30 and C/100 rates, respectively.

Ti6Al4V Bone:

A novel method for fabrication of bone-like Ti6Al4V foamy [email protected] shell composite for utilization as substitutive implant for cortical bone having porous core is devetoped. Yield strength and Young's modulus of the prototypes ranged from 501 MPa to 46 GPa in the compact shells and 7 MPa to 2 GPa in the foamy cores of the composite samples.

Amorphous SnO film deposited from electron beam vapor converted into nanocrystalline Romarchite and tetragonal SnO₂ by heat treatment. Doping led to a fine and uniform morphology with less Sn clustering during cycling. Anodic behavior of the thin film SnO₂ during charge/discharge exersize showed that Zn-dopping nearly doubled the specific capacity of the pure SnO₂.

TiO₂ nano assemblies consisting of nanorods and nanoparticle attachments were hydrothermally synthesized and their characteristics and light scattering properties were determined. Distinct NR-NPs morphology indicated multiple wave trapping and strong light scattering which was as high as 89.2%. Improvements in NR-NPs DSSCs performance were obtained because of lower resistance to charge transfer (10.07 Ω) and faster diffusion of electrolyte ions (1.22 Mho).
