The result obtained were compared to the standard samples suitable for agricultural and it was in the suitable range. The geo-accumulation (I-geo), single pollution, Nemerow pollution indices showed that the Se pollution intensity was significant for agricultural soils. I-geo values revealed no real sign of contamination with almost all the samples, reflecting a lack of contamination for all elements except Zn. While the enrichment factor (EF) for Fe was less than 2 suggested that the elements come entirely from crustal materials or natural processes. The study showed considerable variation in the levels of the analyzed elements in the soil samples. The total metal concentrations in the soil samples ordered as follows: Na > K > Fe > Mn > Zn > Ba > Cr > Ni > Cu > Pb > Cd > As.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48956794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the suggested solutions, heterogenous photocatalysis was progressively applied to degrade organic pollutants. Herein, a simple ethylene glycol refluxing (EGR) method was optimized to fabricate bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanoparticles with a percentage yield of 94.2%. The EGR method's success in preparing BiOI nanomaterial was confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy. The scanning-electron-microscopy and the transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the sunshine-like nanosheets are composed of tiny nanoparticles. The BiOI was employed for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants under visible light. The adsorption capability of BiOI was investigated prior to its photocatalytic activity, and both investigations showed appealing results. The outcomes of this study nominated both the EGR method for fast preparation of a nanoscale BiOI and the applicability of BiOI as a photocatalyst to swap the organic pollutants from contaminated water using the free-inexhaustible sunlight.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45898091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was performed using the three dimensional finite element analysis and four different lengths, two types of implants, and four different bone qualities. The Elastic modulus of a cancellous bone was varied to represent the four different bone qualities. A load of 100 N was applied at the center of the abutment. The result of this current work shows that a bone is subjected to the maximum equivalent stress and strain when the cancellous bone density decreased. The screw type implant induced lesser strain than the cylinder type load. The study also confirms that longer implants produced lesser stain than shorter implants, and type I, and II bones induced lesser stresses than type III, and IV bones.
