Detection of uric acid (UA) is a foremost area of research as abnormal increases in its level can be used to diagnose diseases such as gout, renal disorders, and arthritis. Development of efficient test diagnostics to detect UA in human urine is therefore required. In this study, magnesium oxide was prepared via a hydrothermal route. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed formation of amorphous cubic...
Bioactive glasses have been widely used for bone replacement due to their biological properties. Such materials have recently been synthesized using a sol–gel process, but the expensive reagents represent a major disadvantage of this approach. To overcome this issue, rice husk ash is proposed herein as a cost-free silica source. SiO2–CaO–P2O5 bioactive glass was synthesized by a sol–gel route using...

Herein, we exploit the unique structure, high surface area and porous structure of covalent triazine polymers (CTP) for efficient and targeted drug delivery. We have designed and synthesized a nano-covalent triazine polymer (NCTP) by using Friedel–Crafts reactions and utilized it as a drug carrier for controlled release. The salient features of as-prepared NCTP include excellent dispersibility in...
Cobalt (Co), a vital element in biological functions, induces osteogenesis and angiogenesis at low concentrations. We present the effects of Co and its concentration on the setting time, compressive strength, and degradation behavior of brushite cement (BrC), a potential candidate to fill small bone defects. Addition of Co at up to 1 wt.% decreased the compressive strength in a dose-dependent manner...

Electromagnetic (EM) induction heating of open top risers represents an energy-efficient method to preserve mass feeding whilst allowing for the use of a smaller riser and thus higher casting yield. Numerical simulation results for an ill-designed, concentric riser and casting assembly predicting the EM field characteristics and solidification behavior in such systems are presented herein. A vector...
This article examines the influence of an induction coil position and configuration on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in electromagnetic (EM) solidification processes. The mutual inductance technique was used to solve for the EM field, whereas a dual-zone model was used to describe the flow in the two-phase “mushy” region, and accounts for damping of the flow due to grain growth...
