Nano Insulation is a liquid-consistency, colourable, paint-like thermal insulation material with many other beneficial properties in addition to insulation. It is a material that can be used both indoors and outdoors in industrial, civil and other types of constructions. Compared to conventional insulation materials, this photocatalytic system is beneficial for internal and external air purification and uses nanotechnology with Titanium Dioxide effective for preventing viruses, bacteria, cleaning polluted air from toxins, removing odours, stopping moulds and fungi, purifying water and more benefits. Among the essential features we list: Heat reflection by at least 60-70%, which reduces heat costs by at least 30%; Reduces the noise level by 0.6 mm up to 2 dB; its composition does not contain harmful or poisonous components; protects the coated surface against weather conditions and corrosion; retains its properties in extreme conditions for a long time; it has a lifespan of over 10 years; with implementation guarantee; with a side cover, the quality of incoming cold air is reduced by at least 30%, with both sides covered by at least 55%; 78% water absorption and high vapour permeability are excellent for the interior comfort; is non-combustible: does not fuel the combustion, helps to slow down the speed of the flame; simple and quick use with a sprayer.

Diabetes Mellitus, or Diabetes in short, is a group of widespread endocrine diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels. This research paper attempts to find a solution to this high sugar problem, by taking the route of electrochemistry. It was attempted to demonstrate that the excess sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream of a diabetic patient can be lowered by electrooxidizing the excess sugar in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) and convert it into electrical energy. For this, a sugar level detection system was developed, using a linear regression model with a coefficient of determination (R2 value) of 0.974. At first, one of the most popular as well as costly electrocatalytic materials i.e., Platinum was used to electro-oxidize the excess sugar. Upon its success, some highly electrocatalytic but cheap electrode materials were developed, such as Nickel, Nickel with nanocarbon, Manganese dioxide (MnO2) and Manganese dioxide with nanocarbon (MnO2C). And they also successfully electro-oxidized the excess glucose in SBF solution, thereby reducing the sugar levels. Thus, a potentially novel route to deal with the epidemic problem of diabetes has been proposed through this research work.

Investigations.

Metals were used to make artifacts and medical tools in ancient times. This review article focuses on the gold and silver metal artifacts of the ancient Egyptian and their protection against corrosion. There is no doubt that Egypt is an open museum because the ancient Egyptians planted the monuments everywhere in the deserts. There are many types of artifacts, such as statues, jewelries, furniture, weapons, paints, etc. They have used different types of materials to make all these monuments, such as marbles, wood, stones, metals. They have used different types of metals, such as gold, silver, iron, and copper. The museums in Egypt accommodate huge number of metals artifacts. Ancient Egyptian produced fine and gorgeous artifacts, especially rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The artifacts were created to be resistant to degradation and corrosion over a long period of time. They have used different ways of protection, such as paints, alloying, chemicals etc.

The paper deals with technology of manufacturing of microwave absorbers with ordered and structured surface layer. This layer contains Möbius strip resonators, located on the fixed distance from each other. The technology was developed by the authors on the base of the following data: 1) results of theoretical study of microwaves interaction with Möbius strip resonator; 2) results of experimental study of electromagnetic radiation reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients in the microwave frequency range of the experimental samples of microwave absorbers based on Möbius strip resonators, which differ by the distance between these resonators. It was established on the base to the listed results that the microwave absorbers manufactured in accordance to the technology proposed by the authors are wideband ones. Electromagnetic radiation absorption coefficient values of these absorbers changes from 0.5 to 0.97 in frequency range 2.0–17.0 GHz if the distance between the Möbius strip resonators containing in their surface layer, is 15.0 mm. If the distance between the Möbius strip resonators containing in the surface layer of the considered absorbers is less than 15.0 mm their electromagnetic radiation absorption coefficient in the indicated frequency bands is lower than presented values. The considered absorbers are promising for use in shielded rooms and anechoic chambers.

In this study Neem and Yellow oleander biodiesels were blended in some given proportions and characterized. An F165 diesel engine was ran with each blend and its performance parameters evaluated and compared to those obtained when the engine ran on Automotive Gas Oil (AGO). The produced neem oil biodiesel (NOB) and yellow Oleander biodiesel (YOB) were blended together in a percentage ratio of 20:80, 40:60, 60:40 and 50:50 percentages for Neem and Yellow oleander biodiesels respectively. Results show that brake power of the blends is close to that of AGO at lower torques but developed higher power at higher torques (2.69 kWh at 10Nm for N10Y40 and 2.68 kWh for AGO). The blends exhibited close comparison with the AGO in thermal efficiency. The results of the study show a diesel engine perform well with pure biodiesel blends as fuels as it does with fossil AGO, thus new biofuel was produced capable of replacing conventional diesel fuel in the transportation industry.
