Development of High Efficient Photocatalysts for Benzene Degradation

Asst. Prof. Dr. Karaked Tedsree Faculty of Science, Burapha University This research focuses on the development of photocatalytic efficiency of nanotitanium dioxide for degradation of benzene contaminant in water. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles with different sizes were prepared by chemical precipitation method and sol-gel process. Silver-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (silver/titaniumdioxide nanoparticle) were prepared by chemical reduction… (read more)

The Effect of Phyllanthus taxodiifolius Beille Extracts on Human Neuroblastoma Cells

Asst. Prof. Dr. Witchuda Saengsawang Faculty of Science, Mahidol University Cytoskeletal proteins, especially microtubules and actin filaments are important structures required for cancer cell proliferation and migration. Molecules or compounds that disrupt their functions could interfere with proliferation and migration of the cancer cells, and therefore serve as great candidates for developing novel compounds for… (read more)
