A neutrally charged insecticide, imidacloprid (IC), has been intercalated into zinc hydroxide nitrate (ZHN) with the assistance of sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS). The presence of SDS assists the intercalation of IC by forming a hydrophobic region in the interlayer gallery of ZHN. The intercalated compound, ZHN–SDS–IC, was characterised using powder X-ray difraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, feld emission scanning electron microscopy, and gas sorption analysis. The PXRD studies demonstrated intercalation peaks at lower 2θ, which confrmed the intercalation of IC and SDS in the interlayer gallery of ZHN. The release and kinetic studies of ZHN–SDS–IC reveals that the IC were successfully released in controlled manner (with release time up to 1478 min), and were governed by pseudo second order kinetic model. The ZHN–SDS–IC synthesised is hopefully benefcial in overcoming the consequences of excessive usage of .....

A release study of dichlorprop phenoxyherbicides from the interlayer of a Zn/Allayered double hydroxide-dichlorprop nanocomposite was performed with various concentrations of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and sodium phosphate and a mixture of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and sodium phosphate in aqueous solution. The release study of dichlorprop showed that release is dependent on the concentration of the aqueous solution. The accumulated release percentage of dichlorprop phenoxyherbicides into the solution was found to be higher in solutions containing carbonate, phosphate, and a mixture of carbonate or phosphate anions. Confirmation of the releaseprocess was confirmed by the PXRD pattern of the powder recovered from highly concentrated solutions of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, and sodium phosphate with basal spacing of 7.8 Å, 7.6 Å and 7.4 Å, is due to chloride, carbonate, and phosphate intercalation, respectively. The kinetic study revealed that dichlorprop release .....

Bispyribac (BP) anions have been successfully intercalated in the interlayer region of zinc hydroxide nitrate (ZHN) in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) surfactant. The physicochemical properties of the intercalation compound ZHN–SDS–BP have been characterised herein with different instrumental techniques. The intercalation of BP and SDS is clearly reflected in the PXRD analysis, based on the appearance of symmetrical, sharp and intense intercalation peaks at lower 2h with a basal spacing of 28.2–28.6 A? . The thermal studies show that the ZHN–SDS– BP nanocomposite has better thermal stability than the pristine BP. The intercalation of BP leads to significant changes in the surface area, porosity, and morphology. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms reveal that both ZHN–SDS and ZHN–SDS–BP are of Type IV. The release and kinetic studies were also carried out on the ZHN–SDS–BP, in aqueous solution of Na3PO4, Na2-SO4 and NaCl as the release media. The .....

In recent years, the concept of Knowledge Management has expanded widely in government and private sectors. The last five years have witnessed intensive discussions on Knowledge Management and its importance. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Knowledge Management and its aspects and its impact on the performance of the governmental institutions in the Emirate of Dubai from the point of view of the managers of these institutions. This study attempts to use the analytical descriptive method to address the subject of the research. In this light, the analytical framework drawn integrates these approaches and can be applied in empirical studies. The study uses the questionnaire in data collection, which is valid and reliable according to the Cronbach’s Alpha value. A Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to predict the OP based on KG, KSR and KST. The findings showed that KG, KSR and KST were the key predictors of OP as these explained 49.6 perc.....

The aim of the study is to characterize the fibrillated cellulose (FC), which has been extracted from kenaf bast fiber using high speed homogenizer (HSH). The FC was prepared by applying 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 rpm of homogenization process for 10, 15 and 20 mins. Morphological observation via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) was carried out in order to observe the sur-face morphology of FC while Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed to determine the changing of functional groups. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was done for thermal decomposition of FC. Results showed that the diameter of the FC from kenaf bast was determined below 100 nm. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that lignin and hemicellulose were almost completely removed during the bleaching process at peak 1,737 cm-1. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) displayed 272°C as the highest temperature for thermal stability of FC. In conclusion, by co.....

This article presents a literature review on improving reading skills, and recommendations for reading skills that prepare children for the world of tomorrow. Remediation should begin as soon as a child is diagnosed as having problems with reading. As the demand for digital know-how has dramatically increased in recent years, interactive media has become a basic tool in today’s classroom. Children with weak working memory, and with difficulties in the rapid processing of information, need to be assisted to use digital literacy skills. Underachievers usually show a gap between their functional knowledge and performance potential. In order to prevent this gap from widening, underachievers are advised to work at their own functional level to overcome their deficits. Recommendations are made which are related to interventions that use interactive media as instructional material, and which may underscore an ability or desire to perform independently and more effectively. Three canvases fo.....
