1- Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by Bacillus sp.: The microorganisms in the most contaminated toilet Sink were isolated by dilution technique. The dominant bacterial strains are identified as Bacillus sp.‚ on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. Gram’s staining: Gram positive and rod shape. They were serially diluted and spread on nutrient agar plates. The starch has been hydrolyzed and a clear zone by the addition of iodine solution. Visual identification: When bacterial

The telescope is an important astronomical tool that gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes serve to both increase the angular size and the brightness of objects. When we speak about telescopes we are usually referring to optical telescopes‚ but many other types of telescopes also exist for other spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is unclear as to who it was that actually invented the telescope but Galileo Galilei is credited as being the first to use a telescope for

Executive Summary Optical fibres are being increasingly used in the telecommunications industry. They are slowly replacing the conventional copper cables due their superior ‘data transmission’ properties. They transmit data via light pulses within glass or plastic strands. Fibre optics fit the material requirements for good data transmission since they are ability to transmit and preserve quality of signals‚ durable and cost-effective. Some of the current materials employed within the industry

1. Introduction Blu-ray is a new optical disc standard based on the use of a blue laser rather than the red laser of today’s DVD players. The standard‚ developed collaboratively by Hitachi‚ LG‚ Matsushita (Panasonic)‚ Pioneer‚ Philips‚ Samsung‚ Sharp‚ Sony‚ and Thomson‚ threatens to make current DVD players obsolete. It is not clear whether new Blu-ray players might include both kinds of lasers in order to be able to read current CD and DVD formats. The new standard‚ developed jointly
